@DiversityHire Ehh I think there’s usually more structure and intentionality involved in a “solo date” vs just doing things by myself. It’s the diff btwn getting food solo bc I’m hungry and need to eat vs picking a nice food spot specifically to enjoy my own company

@SomaKazima2 I used to do this when I went to school out of state bc I would be back home for summers and most breaks so I did technically live in both locations just at different points during the year.

@teefortilly @TheBaddestMitch I’ve been saying this for years. So much handwringing about the stuff people do at weddings is unserious bc the whole point it’s a public and performative event. It’s fine to want to add more personal elements to that, but if you want performance free just go to the courthouse 😭

@skipppppy_art Ehh I don’t think the timing adds up. It would have been at least 40-50 years between Hama’s prison break and them raiding the southern water tribe so Katara’s mom would clearly be too young to be Hama. I do think them not taking prisoners is bc of Hama, but that’s it

@FangYi11101 @leowebbhk Like clarity in Ivy admissions would never really be about stats and more about “these are the kind of students (read: personalities) we are looking for”. Stats are just one measurement proxy that can be overcome if you craft a strong narrative that shows fit despite lower scores

@FangYi11101 @leowebbhk Tbf Harvard doesn’t want to say that because it isn’t true. This demand for American universities to list out the “minimum” requirements doesn’t make sense in practice bc there really aren’t many that are concrete. Like there are ppl at Harvard who got in with less than a 1480

This is a misunderstanding of the Oxford/Cambridge undergrad admissions system. You don’t automatically get in with a 1480 SAT and 5s on some APs — that’s the bare minimum to be considered for the interview round, where the real selection happens.
Marc Porter Magee 🎓@marcportermagee

Ironically, Oxford provides more clarity for American applicants than any elite US university. In order to apply, US students need to show that they have secured either 1) four APs at a 5, or 2) three APs at a 5 and either a 33 or above on the ACT or a 1480 or above on the SAT.

@arakkosuperstar I think it’s bc the series establishes it as a thing that only 2 ppl can do, so people end up grasping at straws to understand why. Bc yeah, if lava is just molten rock, earthbenders should be able to bend it as easily as waterbenders bend ice, but the show says otherwise

honestly besides the fact that bending is spiritual, my main gripe with this theory is that all the elements are separate. you can’t “combine” them to make new ones like doodle god. lava is literally just hot rock. why people need it to have an explanation at all is beyond me
redranger1962@kiddkosher1

@DGSEZN @arakkosuperstar People are being weird but the rare combination of bloodline of earth and fire benders is much more satisfying than just “ oh well it’s rare”. Not sure why fans act like inherited traits are weird that’s exactly how bending and any talent would work

@lavish_alt this is killing me, I thought he was saying he was playing at a competition or tournament being hosted at the Louvre, not that he just brought a chess board to play outside by himself 😭. Fit is fire though

@NonyboyO3 @jaybeethefourth Bolin randomly unlocks it and is immediately able to go toe to toe with Ghazan. And yeah lava bending should be easy to earthbenders, but the show establishes it’s a rare and special ability so Bolin unlocking and mastering it with no training or build up is poor writing

@NonyboyO3 @jaybeethefourth I’m not saying she specifically learned it from the scroll, I’m saying they explicitly show her unlocking that ability in tandem with her generally becoming a better waterbending via the scrolls. And even then, she still has to go and train to become competent with healing

@arakkosuperstar likeee, I always thought it was just a kii. Young people call you old, old people call you young it’s just meaningless banter bc you will always be both young and old to someone. Finding out people get seriously distraught over that really blew me, like just laughh it’s ok 😭

@mell0wfan @belladonnafeli This! That access to over 10,000 years of history and experiences is what makes the Avatar the figure that they are. Without it, they’re just someone who happens to be able to bend 4 elements, which is impressive, but why would that alone make ppl listen to what they have to say

@belladonnafeli My biggest gripe comes from a place of someone who greatly values heritage. Korra had literal generations of wisdom, experience, and first-hand accounts of people from ages long since past and they got rid of it. It’s like taking a lit torch to thousands of years of oral history.

I’m sorry but we have to flay the writer who got rid of the avatar past lives. Not only was it half the reason Korra got hate needless hate, amongst other stuff. It was in fact very stupid for them to write that. Idc what anyone says.

@arakkosuperstar No like, canonically the only people who can handle Amon are a stronger bloodbender or an Avatar in the Avatar state (and ig Mako for some reason, but i’m choosing to ignore that cause it actually didn’t make any sense)

@NonyboyO3 @jaybeethefourth Bolin didn’t learn it, he just did it with no training or build up. Katara was regularly learning from the water scrolls and while she unintentionally healed herself, they explain it’s a skill some great waterbenders possess and show her still having to acc train in it after

@wev670 @jaybeethefourth And Bolin learnt it fgs People can just learn things Same way Katara magically learnt how to heal her hands with water when they got burnt. She learnt it out of instincts So did Bolin Why do you have a problem with just Bolin?

@NonyboyO3 @jaybeethefourth So then why didn’t the some who survive long enough learn it? Like idk why this is an argument, turning subbending from a feat of mastery into a luck of the draw activation is simply not great writing. Earthbenders near a volcano would *learn* it, not just randomly activate it

@wev670 @jaybeethefourth Some would die before they even know what's going on Some others would survive long enough to eventually be forced to learn it. I believe that if there was an earth bending tribe that lived near a volcano, all of them would be lava benders

@NonyboyO3 @jaybeethefourth I don’t think that’s true at all though. Gazan was fighting and has probably killed many earth benders with lava and they never picked it up despite it being life or death. And again, it’s a downgrade in the lore to characterize learning subbending like that

@wev670 @jaybeethefourth If enough earth benders are ever in a situation where they'd need to learn lava bending in order to survive, then most of them would. Same way water benders can control ice because they mostly live in the north and south pole

@mega7010real @Calibu_rn @firelorddany all subbending is the same element? A bloodbender is still just bending water, a metalbender is still just bending earth. The extremely high level of bending is what makes it a sub-type bc not many people can do it regularly enough for it to be standard use

@Calibu_rn @firelorddany flight is as much a sub bending than a tornado or the air scooter is he is bending air to do something. but flight is just a extreme high level of air bending it's the same element bro

@NonyboyO3 @jaybeethefourth So based on that there should be way more lavabenders if it’s “way easier” than metal and just needs a high stress situation to activate. But there aren’t. Also the idea that subbending will just unlock in a high stress situation is still a downgrade in the lore

@wev670 @jaybeethefourth x.com/i/status/20453… Let's go with this then It's not by genes He just had the perfect motivation Which was to not die Larva is just liquid earth, which will later solidify to form regular earth It's way easier to learn than metal bending so he doesn't need to "feel" it.
wev67@wev670

@CliveRosfi12096 @jaybeethefourth also the whole fire + earth parents = lavabending thing is a fan theory that’s not been supported by anything in the show
