A foul tempered, Zuko stan's blog. Hey, Zuko here!

Introduction post

I'm fairly certain I should've made this a long time ago, but here goes! Howdy there, I'm foulfirerebel in my gloriously weird and strange Tumblr. For the record, I'm a cis male (pronouns he/him for the record) disabled (physically), am of mixed ethnicity and race, bisexual, and have started my 30s.

I'm likewise a massive nerd, if one cannot tell. My fandoms have ranged from Black Sails to Pro Wrestling to various flavors of anime. If you can stand the ramblings of mine, you're more than welcome! I mainly post about RWBY, Star Wars, and those sorts of things currently.

If you'd like to get to see what I've written, follow the links. I'm a writer, a Dungeon Master, an avid role-player and sci-fi/science fantasy enthusiast!

Ask me anything and I'll try to answer promptly. If ya'll wanna add on Discord or Skype, don't be afraid to ask.

Oh! I have a Twitch channel! I do mostly console gaming, except when DMing and will try to post a reasonable schedule. It's a pleasure meeting all of you!

I've seen some posts saying "Oh he's a doctor and he's not wearing a helmet on a motorcycle!" and using it to mean Robby has a death wish, and (while possible, and tbf, probable), to me it just doesn't land as hard bc my cousin is also a doctor and when covid vaccination started her classmates were getting the vaccine and going out drinking right after (when you were explicitly told to not drink at all during the next two weeks). Doctors are notoriously the worst patients and don't really take care of themselves so...

I was watching a DannyPhantom.exe video and his mom is an ER doctor and suddenly felt pain and just didn't go to a doctor because she didn't feel like it and it went on and on, she thinks she has diverticulitis so instead of going to a doctor or the ER, she called one of her coworkers/friends and goes "hey prescribe antibiotics for this", she gets a CAT scan, the doctor goes "hey you wanna look at this", she goes "no, I know what this is", she leaves and starts driving, gets a call and she's like "WHAT".

Her appendix BURST and had an ABSCESS.

DOCTORS ARE THE WORST PATIENTS.

By concentrating their forces on the Twin Cities, ICE is attempting to break the spirit of the whole country, erase the legacy of the George Floyd uprising, and set a precedent that they can repeat everywhere.

But if ICE can converge, so can everyone else. All out to the Twin Cities to resist them.

Thousands of people across the Twin Cities are mobilizing against ICE. Federal mercenaries roam the city attacking people at random—but everywhere they go, they meet fierce resistance.

What happens in the Twin Cities will determine what happens to us all.

Don't surrender to fascism.

My child, who spends their entire life being transfered from home to car to school and back, and is not allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone and can only in their wildest dreams imagine a life free from constant surveillance, is very sad. Obviously they're dumb and lazy, like all kids these days.

kind of a tangent but i recently went to a bowling alley with my friend i'm 19 he's 18 and the woman at the door didn't want to let us in because there was a sign saying under-18s needed adult supervision. everything got cleared up and we were able to go bowl, but i'm still so mad about the fact that kids need adult supervision to go to a bowling alley and arcade. like okay maybe young kids should have supervision but what do you mean middle and high schoolers need to hold mommy's hand while they play video games. kids aren't just addicted to their phones because phones are addicting, we're addicted to our phones because there's nothing else to fucking do

I'm sure banning kids from online spaces while simultaneously not ensuring that they have access to offline spaces to socialize in (without having to rely on their parents who already don't have time for them) will help them feel better & less alienated from society.

Atlantic Puffins. The adult puffins return to the cliffs around 21:00 to bring food back to the nests, and the golden hour light is perfect for photographs.

photos by me. 2025-06-07, Runde, Norway. Our trip was so, so wonderful.

A long while back I made an AU where Shadow takes Surge, Kit, and Silver under his wing. Surge and Shadow are similar in a lot of ways and I love her I just wanted an excuse to draw my 2 favs lol.

Unfinished art dump involving it lol

He’s definitely the “tough love” type in this AU lol, he’s more lenient with Kit though because of his age.

Literally the only finished art piece and it’s a meme LMAO

I DON’T CARE

I like to think Shadow would help Surge and Kit cause he’s went through similar feelings in the past HE’D HELP THEM

I LOVE EMPATHETIC SHADOWWWWW ITS MY FAV INTERPRETATIONNNN

American horror needs to stop bastardizing other cultures' folklore and focus on our own. I need the Winchesters to kill Paul Bunyan.

So get this: huge swaths of protected forests are getting cut down overnight. Wow Sammy I knew you were gay but I didn't realize you were an environmentalist. Shut up Dean, some of the things cut down weren't trees, they were people. What? Yeah they were sliced up...lengthwise. Like boards? Yes exactly like boards. Opening title card. Whoosh noise with the sound of an axe overlaying it.

They then burn an entire brontosaurus worth of fossil fuels driving to Maine (to prove they aren't gay)

i dont really give a fuck about any argument for ai when that shit is used to make deepfake nudes and porn of women and girls, all of it should be shut down. like idc what else its being used for online.

"Stop saying we'll survive this because Renee Good didn't!"

It's very important to talk about what happened to Renee Good, the horror this administration has inflicted upon the world, and how we got here. I do not, however, think it is ever ethical to essentially encourage suicidal thoughts and aggressively tell people things will never get better. In fact, things won't get better if everyone gives up and believes resistance is futile because we're all dead anyway. In addition, someone trying to talk themselves out of a dark place isn't necessarily undermining what happened to Renee, either. The people saying we'll survive are generally people who are scared and have taken Trump seriously for years, not the people who downplayed him before the election.

I'll say what I began saying in January of last year; if you're really in such a dark place, you have no right to drag others down with you. It's not "raising awareness" to scream at people trying to get through the day during very unsettling times. When you're telling people to stop even saying we'll survive, what are you actually doing? What are you accomplishing? If your answer is "being aggressively hopeless until my last breath", then go do that somewhere else.

@thebreakfastgenie Such a mood. Like I am not still working on improving my mental health after the toll the 2024 election took for some doomer to try to make me suicidal again. Nope! Not interested. I assume some of the doom brigade are severely depressed themselves but I struggle to sympathize like get help, stop trying to drag everyone else down with you. And it drives me nuts when people act like believing in survival is somehow dismissing how bad it is. Bad isn’t hopeless! Maybe people who didn’t pay attention to Trump before the election(s) are just processing in a fundamentally different way? Idk I can’t imagine living like that lol.

Oh I definitely think part of this is that people really didn't believe things would get this bad, so they're having a delayed reaction and are feeling what we felt before or immediately after the election. There's a reason why I cried every day for about 3 months straight, but have shed few tears lately. I was actually just talking about that with my supervisor; she asked me if I'd seen what happened to Renee Good, and I said yes, and, "Some people really screwed up over a year ago and didn't think anything would fundamentally change. But I knew. That’s why I was crying my eyes out the next day and needed to go home from work."

She said, "Yes, I remember that." (She'd comforted me in that time. She'd just gotten citizenship, and despite her facing hardships in Algeria, I think she's shocked over the past year.)

But I'd also put myself back in therapy immediately after the election because I knew what a bad place I was in, and I didn't want this administration to kill me. We must live to see this end. We have to try, and we can't be dragged down by people who've given up. As I said many times, Trump 1.0 taught me that daily misery doesn't change current events, and only puts your own life on hold

@cardassiangoodreads Quoting a Discord friend (who is also a trained psychologist):
"We are at the point where things may start to get scarier as they start to get better.
The resistance is working, but that means Trump is going to get more desperate and escalate more. He's not flexing power, he is desperately trying to get the power back.
Prepare to see things to look frightening but don't let that pull you into despair or hopelessness. He has failed in every other attempt to consolidate power, and signs are pointing to him going to fail here too, but not until after a lot of scary acts
Remember, when overwhelming you is one of their tactical goals, self care is resistance"

I haven't said this before because I don't want to be misconstrued as undermining what's happening, but this is actually my take as well. The administration is WEAK. They're desperately trying to display strength, which is dangerous because they see violence as strength, but Renee's death only increased protests against ICE. You have people shouting at ICE, "You can't kill all of us!" People simply aren't going down without a fight. The National Guard was told to get out of the states that didn't request them (like CA). Resistance is much stronger now than it was this time last year; just think of how bleak things felt in January-February 2025. Trump is polling underwater on basically every issue, and not by a small amount. The administration keeps LOSING in a lot of ways. All their attempts to prosecute their enemies have been thrown out by courts thus far. They couldn't even keep Jimmy Kimmel off the air. They drastically lowered hiring standards and training times for ICE officers because they're NOT hitting their hiring goals and NOT hitting their deportation quotas. Democrats did very well in elections last year, and they could very well overperform this November in the midterms

Things have, indeed, gotten scarier as things fall apart more, but it doesn't mean they aren't falling apart. This will end. It's still a long road until the end, but we inch closer to the end every day. It doesn't mean bad things won't happen until then, but it means we need to keep trying to survive and looking forward to when he's gone forever and we can pick up the pieces
