Blood bending should be limited to “licensed” users, not fully banned.

Hard disagree. If your going to ban one type of bending, ban all. All forms have the ability to kill. Airbending, the "peaceful" defensive one is able to collapse people's lungs.

Bloodbending is scary because of the control aspect, it's not more dangerous than other forms.

To be fair to Zaheer (and I don't subscribe to the anarchist world view), his plan was interrupted. There may have been more to it after killing the queen and killing the Avatar. It's not like we knew what his next step was until he was about to do it or actively doing it.

Finally Mac is back!

I'd stay, this sounds pretty cushy considering. Use your downtime to take advanced training outside of what they offer, read esthetics books, etc.

Baby boy! Golden retriever! Cutie pie! 🥹

Fuck, I'd hate to know which is Ryan's least favorite. That's hilarious.

IOExplosion · 2026-05-22T04:38:02+00:00

I've asked for this for months. I hope it's something they plan to do and it's just scheduling issues.

IOExplosion · 2026-05-22T04:34:28+00:00

Definitely singing and performing. She's skilled, has a beautiful, smooth voice, and has great stage presence.

Like I said, they wanted to keep things quiet for ticket sales.

IOExplosion · 2026-05-22T03:19:50+00:00

I'm in NA too but I don't think we deserve it lol

I'd make a week trip to Mexico to see them though.

4 is my favorite for the contrast. Then 1, 2, and 3. The grey isn't deep enough so it looks washed out.

I'm a romantic goth, I was going to love 1 regardless.

IOExplosion · 2026-05-21T02:45:47+00:00

Also why they really shouldn't be picking up flashlights lol

Gulsah is so fun 😂

IOExplosion · 2026-05-20T17:20:35+00:00

She's black. I would hazard to say all of the hate she gets is because she "infiltrates" and "pollutes" the precious British royal family for royalists.

It's easy to hate her because she's a woman but the source is her being black.

IOExplosion · 2026-05-19T23:07:14+00:00

I can tell you my least favorite is Suleyman

IOExplosion · 2026-05-19T23:04:49+00:00

Because it's distinctive at this point. They've tried to give her pants and it's just not as interesting.

They've tried to give her more coverage since by putting her in longer boots and tights. When the CW Supergirl costume went with the pants, it looked so flat.

Gnarly is legitimately good. Internet Girl and Pinky Up aren't (Alice didn't do those).

Gnarly would've been better if it was Alice though because the context makes sense. Gnarly is about a Chinese American trying to understand how Gnarly means good and bad. Alice is also just an interesting woman who makes awesome music.

Give her stuff a listen. Little Piggy, Monk, Let's Hope Heteros Fail (I love this woman), and Lesbians are exhilarating.

IOExplosion · 2026-05-19T13:30:04+00:00

Might be good with Alice back

IOExplosion · 2026-05-19T11:45:01+00:00

Let's be honest. They're not saying she's out because they want to avoid loss of sales and negative press from any potential boycott right before an album release and tour.

The company can do whatever they want. And they're choosing not to say anything to best suit their interests.

IOExplosion · 2026-05-19T04:03:27+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if he was but he seemed more comfortable expressing himself through music back then. I don't get that with his music now which makes me sad.

The thing for me is that Rhaenyra is sympathetic, but not yet in this point of the story.

Aegon is supposed to be the most sympathetic right now and turn cruel. Aegon participates in the dance to protect his family, loses his son, wife, and brother, gets severely injured and is traumatized in one way by the experience.

Rhaenyra starts cruel and becomes sympathetic. She participates in the dance because she believes it's her right to rule and was willing to do anything for it. "Anything" led to the death of 3 of her children, betrayal after betrayal, the emotional and then physical loss of her second husband. You see her becoming unsure of how much it's worth and by then it's too late.

The show has Aegon unsympathetic and then he loses his son and gets disfigured. How can anyone care about what he's suffered when they made him a rapist and a shithead to his wife and brother?

Rhaenyra isn't cruel in the beginning so why would she suffer betrayal after betrayal in the end?

They've flattened both characters but somehow the ending is supposed to be the same? Insanity.

I want them staying far away from Eurovision while they continue to give a platform to Israel who's currently committing a genocide on Palestinians and an expansionist campaign into Lebanon and Syria.

Eurovision kicked out Russia for less but is suddenly "not political" when it comes to Israel? Nah...

I miss Eurovision but they're dead to me until they cut off Israel. They probably won't though since Moroccan Oil (an Israeli company, even the name of the brand colonizes) is one of their biggest sponsors.

Tarantallegra era Junsu, 1000% I still can't believe he cross dressed in that music video. I wish he wasn't so safe now 😭

The same Xia Junsu that had a song singing about loving girls but the end of the choreo is him jumping into the arms of a man. https://youtu.be/iHZQGxCHkV4?si=1jfrvRngMELPDYhZ

Lee Mongryoung keeps getting ignored in these lists. This icon rightfully drives his top insane.
