Oh fandom, why must you be so high-strung about this stuff?

[timepiececlock]

Zutara fandom, you know I love you. So why do make me smack my forehead? WHY?

I can't believe that so many people are a) wrapped up in the idea that every on-screen relationship is written to be an epic saga in the making, and b) having been denied Zutara so far, are now actually blaming the Mai/Zuko ship as being "badly written" because it's not epic so far.

OF COURSE IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE. It's supposed to be awkward, and annoying, and frustrating, and cutesy, and involve lots of macking.

Which means its being written fine, you just want so badly to hate it that you're trying to read too deeply into it.

Ah, yes. That one.

The general gist of my response can be summed up in this quote: "I want to find these people, break into their high school creative writing poetry class, grab their hot topic shirt collar, and shake them like a British nanny."

Speaking of which...GO GO UK!

a) Where have you been, stranger? You never send me flowers anymore.

b) break them shake them

c) I have a really cool hot topic shirt, that's sky blue and long sleeved, covered with little lightning bolts. It's cute. Hot Topic is mostly annoying, but there are rare gems like in all stores.

d) what's with the british references?

God save the Queen, because ol' smoky got their Avatar fix earlier than us.

Translation: I have seen "The Runaway" and "The Puppetmaster", and am pleased. Quite pleased, yes.
