Me when the obviously doomed character doesn't get a happy ending

Inspired by my recent post down C2 memory lane about fandom memory and incorrect info, does anyone else have some received wisdom that keeps getting repeated in the fandom that’s just flat out WRONG that they’d like to correct? I’ll start:

• Marisha never said Beau was inspired by Sokka OR Korra. She mentioned at a con that the visual was a coincidence probably because she loves AtLA. Beau was actually inspired by Jessica Jones.
• Taliesin did not intentionally kill Molly because he didn’t enjoy Blood Hunter mechanics. I don’t know why this conspiracy theory is still alive but I see it frequently.
• The one from my original post: neither Taliesin nor Liam stated they intended to pursue a romance with their characters in C2. In fact both of them flat out dismissed it when asked at multiple cons in 2018.

Feel free to add any that personally annoy you!

it is genuinely bewildering to me that adult human beings do not know this but if you are mean to people they will not like you. like tbh they are probably also not going to like you if you are mean to other people but they are definitely not going to like you if you are mean to them. it doesn’t matter if you are funny or if you can use r/aita rules to prove that you are in the right. people simply do not enjoy being treated like shit.

WIKIPEDIA IS 25 TODAY MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!! [Their celebration article here]

I think the most hilarious place to put Post-Canon Sokka would have been the university at Ba Sing Se. I think he would have made a great unhinged professor. Also, in true Sokka fashion, he should have completely dodged fame. Momo is more famous than he is.

He wants to demonstrate to the class how this thing called electricity works, so he's going to be bringing in a Firebender, so everybody be cool, we're all friends here... and in walks Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. One-time conqueror of the city. One of the students is currently writing an essay on how her brief rule of the city affected fruit trade. She says she considers the class to still be her subjects as she doesn't acknowledge any pretenders to any of her thrones, but for now you're exempted from bowing and "Your Highness" will do. It's a really interesting lecture.

"Okay, guys - hey, listen up, everyone - I won't be here next week, me and Aang are going to-" yeah right, sure, Professor Sokka knows the Avatar. Except, of course, the Avatar walks in sheepishly and says that Appa might have gotten into Sokka's hybrid crops, and then you all have to sit there and watch your professor chase the Avatar around with a sword.

One postgrad student is specializing in Water Tribe Cultures. She's currently studying the massive cultural shift that happened in the Northern Water Tribe at the end of the war - oh, and Professor, I absolutely know that you're from the Southern Water Tribe, but it's just that the shift started with Master Katara, and of course I don't think that every person from the South knows one another haha it's just that I need to ask her some questions and I thought maybe you could help me write a letter or write a letter of introduction or...

Sokka looks at her blankly and goes "yeah, she's my sister. KATARA!" which is followed by a faint answering "fuck you!" from Somewhere and to the horror/elation of our postgrad, Master Katara bursts in and is promptly beaned in the head with a rock by Professor Sokka. Her brother. her hero and her professor are siblings and currently brawling on the floor.

once u have a pet for a while u run out of normal sentences to say to them and u have to make up more sentences on the spot. Currently telling my dog about his upcoming position as an accountant. they’re hiring him because he’s soooo little. so he has to be an accountant.

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"

By the way my views on restorative justice and victims first mentality concerning prison abolition is directly in conversation with my transfeminism.

Because during this entire time surrounding these harassment campaigns towards ISFF, Patricia Taxxon, and others is that while there are claims of victims I have not heard this victims come forward themselves.

I don’t think anyone accused ISFF of doing anything to anyone specifically. Like you can accuse her of pedophilia until the cows come home but I have yet to hear from anyone that there is a specific person whom she has harmed.

As for Patricia she has stated before that she has caused harm and that she has made amends with the person she hurt. But the accusations kept getting reheated as second and third hand accounts.

In both cases, there is nothing these women could actually do in order to get people off their backs. They have been accused of doing immeasurable amounts of harm that there does not seem to be any apparent victims of.

Like maybe they made posts that were uncomfortable, its not a crime!

It is not a crime to have bad vibes, or bad takes, or having meltdowns from being screamed at by internet strangers!

I believe in a world without prisons, I believe in accountability, and I believe in abolishing the death penalty.

I do not think that it is the job for strangers on the internet to hold these women “accountable”

And I believe that even if the worst things that have been claimed about them were true (which would be patently absurd) I still do not think it would justify anything that these gangstalkers have done.

And I know for a fact that me saying this will not impact me unlike the transfems who have defended their sisters. I will not be added to the alleged conspiracy because I am TME. And those people do not hate me nearly as much as they hate trans women.

people who are just finding out about internet tracking and data mining in the year 2025 and that your special robot friend does not respect your privacy lol
