I only recently watched AtLA, but one thing that got me is how much platonic tension Zuko has with the Gaang when he decides to join them. Like when Toph latches onto him in Ember Island he blushes furiously; when Aang compliments him in the Sun Warrior temple he grins so shyly etc. Basically I'm saying he'd melt at the slightest sign of someone wanting to be friends with him and it's beautiful
the gaang after Zuko risked his life to hold of Azula in order to protect them: “To Zuko! Sure are glad he’s switched sides and is no longer trying to kill us!
Zuko: *makes this adorable face*
Zuko: ‘what is this??? appreciation??? nice? nice feeling! Is this friendship? Did I do the friendship right???!’
Zuko: ‘oh no, she’s going to fucking kill me. This is how I die. I knew I shouldn’t have done the whole field trip thing. She still hates me. I still suck. I’m beyond forgiveness despite what she said--
Katara: *hugs*
Zuko: oh wait, I’m okay, I did it, this is friendship, I’m okay
Zuko: “I’m garbage. I’m worthless. I’m a human garbage dumpster and this play understands that. They have translated the Essence(tm) of my terribleness through bad theater and I deserve it”
Toph: “your uncle talked nonstop about you when I met him because he loves you
Zuko, being used to his entire existence being actively rejected: “oh sorry”
Toph, who vibed with this anxious, awkward mess of a human space heater the minute Appa started licking him: “Listen here you little shit, you better pick that self esteem up or so help me”
Toph: excuse me, this is MY emotional support firebender
Zuko, still not used to the idea that people genuinely want to be around him for his personality: ‘!?!?!?????’
Zuko: *automatically assumes that group hugs are for People Who Aren’t Him and doesn’t even attempt to engage*
The gaang: “Come on Zuko, being part of the group means being part of group hugs” *Suki and Toph open up their arms to him*
Zuko: *awkwardly trudges over and has no idea what to do* (was this his first ever group hug? in his life? am I sad now? the answer is yes.)
thinking about how good friendship is…..like two people just like each other….and choose over and over to spend time with each other……quite special how diverse human relationships are..every friendship is special and u cant be close friends with everybody…..for some unknown reason certain people just enjoy each other..and i think we take for granted how fantastic that is
C S Lewis talks about how friendship is actually perhaps the greatest form of human love because it’s two people choosing to spend time together not because they have to or have any specific physical draw to each other, but purely because they just enjoy each other’s company and this is it.
Some things “relationships take work” should mean:
Some things “relationships take work” should never mean:
Simple truisms like “relationships take work” can be misused in harmful ways.
Relationships do take work, but that work is supposed to be a team effort to support and care for each other while still honouring your own needs and desires.
If your relationship isn’t a healthy partnership, don’t feel like you have to stick it out just because “relationships take work.”
You are not obligated to stay in any relationship you do not want.
welp getting ready for a quarantined birthday heheheheh

AHH COULD I REQUEST A FLUFF SCENARIO WHERE BAKUGOU ASKS OUT HIS CRUSH TO THE MOVIES? Like, she just got a random text of him asking her to see a movie and she's freaking out! Thank-you if you write this!!!
Bakugou has a close circle of ‘friends’. They are the ones he considers less irritating to be around and somewhat tolerable to a degree.
You happened to be one of them and yet at the same time, you weren’t. He treated you differently then he did with Kaminari, Sero, Mina, and hell, even Kirishima.
However, this wasn’t supposed to be received in a bad sense. Bakugou just acted… odd with you. In a good type of way though! It was evident that he looked out for your best interests at heart and that he appeared to have more patience with you than he did with others.
You too also found great comfort with Bakugou. Asking him for help whenever it was necessary or just talking about the same interests you both shared. It ran both ways.
To be frank, your relationship with him was complicated. But you two were at a good spot, so there wasn’t any rush to put a label on your connections with Bakugou.
That was until his contact name lit up on your lock screen late one evening in the dorms, indicating that you received a text from him. Two text messages to be exact.
And that’s when you went into a frenzy. No, not because he texted you. You two did that all the time. Instead, it was the context of the message.
It was at the moment when the chaotic spiral of emotions arose.
friend: i’ve never seen ratatouille
me: *friend’s full name*
friend: oh no
me: YOUVE NEVER SEEN...
friend: i take that back
me: RATATOUILLE YOU...
friend: * is scared*
me: ... YOU ABSOLUTE SWINE RATATOUILLE IS THE NUMBER ONE MOVIE...
friend: *shaking* okay
me: YOU FUCKING...
friend: I’m literally on the verge of tears, be gentle
me: ... MORON WHY HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN THIS FUCKING STELLAR MOVIE, SWINE, YOU DISRESPECTFUL SWINE, I CANNOT EVEN LOOK AT YOU, YOU ABSOLUTE DISEASE RATATOUILLE IS A CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILM THAT EVERYONE ON THIS ENTIRE PLANET NEEDS TO WATCH
I love the moment you see this too #EthicalMemes
Something that really breaks my heart is the cruel indifference that some people have towards pets or animals that they personally don’t enjoy. Like I hear so many stories about someone losing a beloved pet snake or rat or tarantula, only for their friends to say something like “good riddance”.
My best friend does not like my gerbils at all. She jokingly calls them vermin and teases me for being the only 25 year old woman that still has pet gerbils. She came to visit me one weekend when one of my sweet babies was really sick, and unfortunately called me at work to solemnly let me know my gerbil had passed. The entire drive home I was trying not to cry because we had plans and I didn’t want to ruin the weekend with my ridiculous grief over a rodent. When I got home, my best friend was sitting in the driveway, hand painting a little coffin with my gerbil’s name on it. I immediately started sobbing. She went and got me a glass of wine, and played a Stevie Nicks song on her phone while she dug a grave. After the somber funeral in my backyard, she cancelled our evening plans and we walked to a bar, where my best friend completely un-ironically held up a glass and toasted my dead gerbil, thanking her for the joy she’d brought me.
The point of this story is, you don’t have to share or even understand your friend’s interests to show them respect and empathy in a time of loss. It’s alright if you don’t like a friend’s unconventional pet, you certainly don’t have to! However, pet loss can be incredibly painful, and I think it is always best to err on the side of kindness.
Hey guys!
We had a series of class tests on Hindi, Computer Applications, Physics and Maths. Surprisingly I got ful marks in maths. Wow. I guess I ain't that big a loser.
I was debating with Af. about Sn. (both are my classmates), on how she is guilty of changing Sn. She said Sn. changed for good. Maybe she's right? She wasn't so confident and smiley earlier. Maybe I shouldn't be bothered at all. Am I being jealous? I don't know.
Ln. been quite cool lately. Cool!
I love the way other people can just... Impact the way you see the world. Not just in big ways, either.
My best friend loves anything and everything to do with outer space. Now, whenever I see shirts or memes or photographs or anything of outer space, it makes me happy because I know she'd love it.
An internet friend has a sunflower for an icon, and loves to garden. I've never been much of a plant/garden person, but now, whenever I see anything related to gardening, it makes me excited, and whenever I see sunflowers, I think about her.
A crush I had for years plays jazz music. As a rule, I'm not a huge fan of music without lyrics, but listening to him play just made it come to life for me, and whenever I hear jazz music, I smile.
A woman who is almost like a second mother to me loves high heels. Now, I never wear them, and shoe shopping with me in general is like pulling teeth. But whenever I see bright, sparkly high heels, all I can think about is how much she'd love them.
My grandmother on my dad's side passed away before I was born, but she loved owls. Because I've heard my family talk so much about this, whenever I see owls, I think of her.
I have one internet friend I rarely talk to, but whenever I see cute animal images, I always tag her. (And she does the same for me.)
The list goes on.
So if you ever think that you don't matter, that you don't make a difference to people, please know that's not true. You're leaving your own little footprints in the world, and you don't even realize it.
Never doubt it.
Ur so right asfhkflshkms
