white and nerdy

LET'S DO THIS. Cut in particular because there is discussion about fandom and characters, and I'm not sure if anyone cares to read those.

• 22:33 I really hate to say it, but I kind of didn't love Suki from the Avatar show? She was cool, but a little boring when she wasn't fighting. #
• 22:34 And I feel bad, because I know the fandom hates on her unnecessarily, and I really want to like her but I can't. #
• 22:36 That and I'm a little tired of Sokka/Suki fans insisting that Sokka/Toph is lame because it's just pairing off Team Avatar with each other #
• 22:37 and therefore isn't creative and it is boring. Which isn't why people ship them at all. :\ #
• 23:04 @Stillshines I love that Suki rescued Sokka and Toph in the finale, and when she made Sokka stopped being so sexist, but that's about it. #
• 23:11 @Stillshines AGREED SO MUCH. And I hate how Suki or Sokka/Suki fans like it is a HUGE CRIME when you don't care much for her by herself. #
• 23:12 @Stillshines Not all of them do it, because that generalization is shitty, but I think it's because Suki gets bashed so harshly that they - #
• 23:13 @Stillshines just want to defend her, which is fine and all, but people should be allowed to not like her either. #
• 23:13 TWITTER, I DO NOT LIKE YOUR WORD LIMITS. My rants go on for tweets. 8( #
• 01:24 Watching Short Circuit 2. The white washing makes me very sad, but I love Johnny Five. And I want those toy robots SO BAD. #
• 01:24 Seriously, Ben, you can sell all of them to me. I WILL TAKE THEM. #
• 04:31 fuck I have to sleep but I JUST got a fic idea out of nowhere. #
• 04:31 I'm going to be half-asleep in class tomorrow, aren't I. #
• 04:31 Seriously, I am never taking morning classes again. I can't handle it. #
• 15:05 This woman on Dr. Phil kidnapped her neighbor's dog and abandoned it because it peed in her yard. Um, I'd have to smack someone if that - #
• 15:05 to any of my pets. :\ #
• 15:05 *happened #
• 15:06 Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people? #
• 16:23 I am really sick to my stomach all of the sudden. #
• 16:24 I just feel very nauseous. #

I hate it, too. It's just so ... blatantly obvious what the author's intention is. XD; There's people that ship Aang/Toph because they think it's rad and that's great, but there's other fans who only ship them to get him out of the picture so the other ship can work. If you're going to ship Aang with someone else for Zuko/Katara to happen, at least be realistic about it and realize it'd take time for Aang to get over it and find someone else.

(As for being single and happy, agreed. I don't mind if he does find someone else in these fics, but ... don't literally change his emotion or do it so quickly. Why does giving Aang another love interest, so soon after realizing she loves someone else, give him proper closure as opposed to realizing Katara won't love him back and learning to be okay with that, and not rushing into another love interest? That's okay, too!)

I thought Sokka/Suki was cute in season one and the beginning of season two. I wasn't sold on it, though, not as much as I was with Sokka/Toph. Their scenes just pleased me more than Sokka/Suki did as a whole. As for Suki by herself ... I don't know. It bugs me because there's nothing wrong with her, and I can't definitely say "well she bugged me in this one particular scene so I don't like her :|" since that never happened, but I couldn't attach myself to her outside of her Kyoshi warrior badassness. (Yes, that's a word, because I said so.) I liked her but I didn't care that much about her, as I felt with any other minor characters such as Teo and Haru. I know that's not really fair, because she got more screen time and a bigger role than the both of them put together, but that's exactly how I feel.
