unknown forces compelled me to draw this
Nothing reassures me that my boyfriend loves me more than when he wants me there while he's in full Lizard Mode - sleepy, already asleep, headache, sick, anything that's got your brain running on skeleton crew, wholly focused on survival and comfort. Nothing matters except being in a dark, quiet place, horizontal, and comfy. Communicating in eepy grumbles. Expressing distaste that I am not cuddled up to him. Letting me know when he wants to be the little spoon. He doesn't have the processing power for contemplating people pleasing, he just wants me there because having me there is genuinely preferable to not having me there.
Poor man functioning on one brain cell and he'll use it to grab my ass just to make sure that it's still there.
One of my friends teaches finnish to immigrants for a living, and it's always fun hearing her reports of the things she encounters. Like the cultural differences. She's getting married this summer and although her students know she has a job and can clearly provide for herself, they're still somewhat concerned that she pays her own share of her and her boyfriend's household bills.
Not in some accusing "why the fuck are you not in the kitchen" way, but like worried for her wellbeing. Like "wdym he makes you pay for things. you should have a man who takes care of you." They can aknowledge that finnish women are financially independent and can look after themselves, but just don't like the idea that their excellent teacher would have a man who doesn't provide for her as she deserves.
One must never underestimate an opponent who does not fear death. An enemy who values your death more than their own life is unpredictable - you cannot assume that there is anything they wouldn't dare to do. Risk a blow to distract you, run right into your sword in order to get their own into you, tackle you off a cliff to throw you both into your deaths. An enemy that does not seek to survive is ruthless, they will think in ways so alien to you, that you cannot anticipate what they might do. The best defense you can have is to never make enemies like this.
The same fear and respect should also apply to clowns. They do not fear shame or mockery, they have no honour to lose by becoming laughingstock. A clown will not hesitate to look ridiculous, if tackling you makes you both look stupid. A clown does not fear losing their dignity for as long as they can take yours down with them.
Do not make enemies with clowns.
A social gathering of dudes who all have serious Main Character Syndrome, but all are wildly different genres. One of them is the "people don't like me because I'm too smart" Misunderstood Genius who isn't actually particularly smart, just mean. Another one thinks he's wisecracking and clever by just talking like a character in a Marvel movie. Third one thinks he's subtly pulling off a mysterious Film Noir vibe by wearing a fedora and spending most of his time internally narrating, and silently staring at people. The fourth one is a deeply dramatic purple prose self-fashioned Byronic Hero who is unaware that he would be a mildly annoying minor antagonist in a Jane Austen novel at best. The fifth one has gotten his entire personality from shounen anime.
yeah yeah the nerd group at a university, we've all seen it

This is just a feeling but going off the plot we've been given so far I think Avatar: Pavi was an original story that's been reskinned as an Avatar story.
Avatar studios is still a division of Nickelodeon. I bet a Nick writer drafted the plot of Pavi, it had an elemental magic system like loads of other shows (dragon Prince, she-ra, ect) and Nick executives decided that instead of gambling on a new IP they could repackage it with a few tweaks as an Avatar show.
This is common in pretty much all media types, the best example I can think of is Prey (2017) but I also have my suspicions of Joker (2019).
It's just more profitable and less risky to use a known IP rather than gamble on an untested project. I think it also explains the massive shake-ups that we know of so far (4 nations are gone, 2 avatars, more futuristic/post-apocalypse setting) because it wasn't supposed to be a Korra sequal.
Calling it now Pavi wasn't supposed to be an Avatar show, Aurora was going to be an original show but got scrapped.
Ooooh this is hella smart
saying “i want him” about the character but not in a romantic or sexual way . i just Require him i need to Obtain him
