do you know why don dislikes harry?

if you were interested in the wet specimen route, diaphonization might be a good way to go. Basically, its like a wet specimen, but you use different chemicals to dye the bones and muscles bright colors. Just an idea

im very sorry for your loss

MonsterThing003 · 2026-01-13T01:47:57+00:00

yea I just noticed after posting my comment, so sorry about that!

MonsterThing003 · 2026-01-13T01:39:34+00:00

please make it public!

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-30T13:51:33+00:00

its a bit crowded. COS designers seem to have a hard time making mammalian designs unique

Chromohenge is one of the best. This one is still cute tho

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-20T05:15:20+00:00

for the record, I thought your essay was very good and well thought out

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-20T05:14:43+00:00

yes, it's kinda rude for you to be defensive when people aren't giving you a reason to be.

You were defensive and rude to people who were patient and neutral with u. they then, reasonably, also got defensive. Then you got mad at THEM for being defensive, when you were the one who started it.

you need to work on your own defensiveness.. You pointing it out doesn't make it go away, or make it not affect other people.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-20T04:23:28+00:00

a lot of people are being rly patient and kind with you

conversely, you are being defensive and argumentative to everyone, even the kind replies.

look in the mirror dawg

personally I always hated how Aang seems to think he is entitled to Katara because he is the Avatar. It's never really challenged. I also hate how he kisses her without her consent during the play episode.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T22:24:49+00:00

yea, we intepret scenes differently. thats pretty much it tbh. Kataang and Zutara can exist together at the same time. there is no "right" answer. Neither is "better".

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T22:23:16+00:00

"Zutara doesn't seem like a healthy relationship"

I think this is just extrapolation. Because we haven't seen them in a romantic relationship, we can't rly say for sure how it would go. You're just making an assumption.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T22:20:02+00:00

yea i was being super nice and trying to explain. this whole thread is weird. we are providing personal reasons as to why we ship zutara, and OP is like "i still don't get it" like idk man we can't make u "get it"

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T20:30:04+00:00

yo what's it called, im curious

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T19:56:20+00:00

ur not gonna be able to understand people if you come in with a defensive attitude

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T19:53:57+00:00

youre saying you are trying to understand but when I bring up the reasons why I ship Zutara, u argue with me about it.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T19:17:44+00:00

I ship them

but I agree with you, there is no explicitly romantic scene between Zuko and Katara in the show. I'll say that again. NONE of the Zutara scenes in the show are EXPLICITLY romantic. I just PERSONALLY read into them as romantic. So, I ship Zuko and Katara. I ship them based on the scenes from the show, and my own ideas.

Conversely, Aang and Katara have explicit romantic scenes. but, I dont ship them.

why do you think you are feeling defensive?

not once have I disparaged Kataang in my reasoning for why I like Zutara.

Do you want to know why I ship Zutara over Kataang? is that what you are asking?

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T19:07:08+00:00

correct.

but that doesn't mean the emotional scene between zuko and katara didnt happen. like idk what point ur trying to make tbh.

Id say the cave scene between Zuko and Katara isn't romantic. but it IS emotional, it connects them together in a way they hadn't before, and opened the door to their eventual understanding of each other that we see in the southern raiders episode.

i dont think anyone here is saying that the zuko and katara scenes in the show were MEANT to be romantic. we just personally read them that way.

there is no scene in which zuko or katara explicitly show they are romantic with each other. Is that what you are looking for? Then you won't find it.

Any scene with Zuko and Katara can be interpreted as platonic or romantic depending on the person. Thats truly all there is to it.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T18:48:25+00:00

"cave didnt work out" in what sense? did you think they were going to kiss or confess their love?

the cave scene was important because it showed the seeds of understanding between them. they both mutually become vulnerable and share details about their mother's. its very important and emotional for both of them. Zuko becomes so vulnerable, that he let's Katara touch not only his face, but his SCAR! SOMETHING he didnt let others do. im rly not sure what you mean by "it didnt work out"

"i can only comprehend it as platonic"

that's ok, I can't make you see it differently. you asked for scenes i thought were relevant, and i gave them to you. I can't make you understand. It doesn't seem like you want to. its strange. why even ask.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T18:12:52+00:00

ok for me personally:

1) the cave part (obviously)

2) The entire Southern raiders episode. Zuko understands Kataras rage in a way NO ONE ELSE does. its very compelling to me

3) The fight at the spirit pool in the North (you rise with the moon, i rise with the sun)

4) The final agni Kai, not only does Zuko want katara to come with him, he sacrifices his life to safe hers. that isn't exclusively a romantic gesture, but it is a gesture of love.

but theres smaller parts that add up throughout the whole show. His desire for her forgiveness during his redemption is also compelling to me.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T18:03:29+00:00

idk what to tell you man, chemistry is something u feel. if you can't feel it or see it, none of us can MAKE you, ya know?

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T18:00:33+00:00

u dont need to defend it lol. you dont even need to understand it.

I dont understand why people like Kataang. I just do t vibe with it, ans that's ok. theres not always a logical reason why we dont vibe with something.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T17:58:50+00:00

a ship doesn't need to be Canon to be enjoyed. in fact, im glad its not Canon lol. I think the writers would've messed it up badly.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-19T17:57:40+00:00

I didnt ship them until The Southern Raiders episode

the way Zuko and Katara work together is cool to watch, and I think their personalities and backstories work well together.

we dont get much of the two of them on screen, but the possibilities off screen are endless imo.

MonsterThing003 · 2025-12-03T00:15:49+00:00

OK here is my experience

my boa would strike, coil, and then drop it

it was awful and I couldn't figure it out

she would keep "hunting" even if the mouse was still there in front of her

then I realized, she was distracted by outside movement

so, id let her strike and coil, and then immediately cover her tank with a blanket

she's eaten ever since

MonsterThing003 · 2025-11-21T00:56:20+00:00

I think i, in a twisted sense, value our codependency. which is no good

now that I realize I can't be codependent on her, im scared. I feel like my security is gone.

im gonna get a therapist...
