Technically, the list I used for Inktober today by sparrouu-bird is supposed to be
for OCs, but I just felt like sketching Dick (with full hair). The
prompt was “bruised,” so this is Dick moments after a hard-fought
battle.

The importance of “water is wet” studies should not be understated. Because now you have a study to point to when someone who doesn’t already know this asks you for a source, as opposed to relying on anecdotal evidence or “common knowledge”.
Here is a link to the study. Use it profusely.
I may be the only person in the world with this opinion, but I actually liked LOK more than ATLA. I will say, however, that this opinion comes more from timing and personal preference in narrative elements than from objective quality.
“I’m here to praise a moment that I believe has been slept on: when Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) takes Lara Jean’s scrunchie out because he thinks she looks pretty with her hair down, insists on taking a photo to prove it to her, and then looks at the photo he took and gives a fond, snuffly “Aw!”. [It] takes place early in the fake relationship the two have agreed to pursue […] But that doesn’t mean he has to be dismissive or unkind to his partner in deception. And he’s not! Even in this private moment, when there’s no reason to perform interest in her, he’s just out here making Lara Jean feel pretty and lovable. It’s wild how confusing it feels to see a boy in a teen movie being so tender with a girl without the clear and immediate goal of getting in her pants. There’s no brusqueness or dickishness; he doesn’t deride her youthful style or become exasperated that he has to deal with her naiveté about the party scene. Instead, he’s warm and earnest. The “aw” is an affectionate little sound that says “we’re technically faking this, but I genuinely think you’re wonderful and I’m happy being around you.” Boys who genuinely like and respect girls are maybe a thing that we should portray and valorize more.“

Do fanfic discoursers ever…read anything other than fanfiction? Like, I feel like it’s only possible to be this horrified by problematic fanworks if you’ve never actually read a book.
Then again, if your only engagement with media is Marvel movies, that explains a lot about why you’d be so blindsided by anything that smacks of moral complexity.
Do they know what’s in books? Or do they sincerely think that all media has the emotional and thematic depth of a PG-13 blockbuster franchise, and naughty fandom pervs are introducing previously unprecedented elements to this uniformly tepid world?
no one will ever be able to tell
