I dunno man. I found out today that a subway sandwich is $14 now. A shitty subway footlong sandwich that isn't actually 12 inches long and is occasionally made with expired ingredients and was never a great option to start with. I ate those in high school because I was broke and at the mall a lot.

There are poke bowls in my city from a local place for $16. Super fresh fish and veg, warm rice, more than I can eat in one sitting, for the price of a sandwich and a drink at america's most mid-tier sandwich shop.

Someone in another post said (paraphrased) you used to be able to get something mediocre for cheap, but now the mediocre things cost as much as the nice things so why would you?

What's up guys? Do you like After the Storm as much as I do? Do you, perhaps, want to meet other boat boys fans? Do you use discord?

come say hi!

Boost in case this is something the readers/followers over here would be interested in! :D As the authors we can't actually partake, but also it's extremely cool that this exists, so!

One of the best things about the Avatar universe is that one of our first introductions to the rules governing the world is "It's not magic, it's water bending," and then throughout the series it's revealed that actual ass magic also exists alongside the totally not magic bending.

angry spirit shoots lasers at a house? magic. a guy disappears into a parallel plane, body and all, for a day or so? absolutely magic. the moon exists as a living being on earth and brought a baby back to life? totally fucking magic. face stealing? magic as shit. your sister makes water levitate sometimes? how dare you sokka that's not magic it's martial arts.

Honestly I don't know where I was going for this except that it's fucking hilarious that this show has two separate and distinct systems of magic, but you're only allowed to call one of them magic because the other one happens too often.
