in the harsh glaring light of the day, i can safely say that i hate FEELINGS

Sokka: Katara
Sokka: KATARA
Sokka: KATARAAAAA
Sokka: KATAAARAAAAAAA
Katara: What the fuck?
Sokka: DID YOU HEAR?
Sokka: [GIF. Description: A black and white cat moving excitedly and uncontrollably.]
Katara: Please talk like an actual human being
Katara: It's way too early for me to decode this shit
Sokka: YOU ARE NOT READY FOR THIS
Katara: Just
Katara: Spill
Sokka: GRAN GRAN MET SOMEONE
Sokka: HER CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND
Sokka: AND NOW THEY'RE TOGETHER?
Katara: Wait
Katara: WHAT?
Sokka: TOLD YA
Katara: How did this even happen?
Sokka: IT'S TOTALLY A ROMCOM
Katara: Wtf

fiirelord asked:
Please be bullied?
thepaintedlady replied:
bullied. thank you.
okay, so instance #1:
so, you know the trope where the guy is a Man (TM) and goes around mansplaining everything and then he meets a badass woman who knocks him out and makes him see the error of his ways and then he emerges a better person— not because he wants to impress her or whatever (ew) but because he just genuinely wants to be better?
yeah, that trope. that's my brother.
and. and. and.
they've just gotten more and more cutesy with time. they wear matching t-shirts (they have these 'big spoon' and 'little spoon' tees that they take turns wearing), he wears her hoodies (i feel like i ranted about this once?), she wears his shirts, she has picked up all his food habits, they finish each other's sentences... it's endless. it's exhausting. i love them.
moving on, instance #2:
(please be aware that this is what provoked the previous post.)
so, the trope where you are in love with your childhood best friend and then one of you moves away and you lose contact with them but you meet years and years later and you realize you have always been in love and they are The One?
yup. yuuuppp. my grandmother.
so, yeah. that's that.
#*nervously glances around* #*sees scattered pieces of my own love life* #*nopes out* #will i just forever pine and pine and pine? #i am so tired #ANYWAY #this isn't the time for that #3 am is reserved for the miserable matters of my heart #fiirelord #thank you for the consensual bullying #also we have to have words #full status report and all

Sokka: How do you merge Kanna and Yagoda into a ship name?
Katara: Please don't
Katara: Don't you ever pay attention in class?
Sokka: Unlike you, I actually do
Sokka: But I have an hour free now
Sokka: ANYWAYYYY
Sokka: Kagoda?
Sokka: Kannoda?
Sokka: Yaganna?
Sokka: Yanna?
Sokka: I'm lost
Sokka: These are all such good options
Katara: Please shut up, Sokka
Sokka: [GIF. Description: An animated raccoon with watery eyes pouts.]
Katara: -_-
Sokka: Next time we go back home I'm painting them a portrait
Katara: I'll warn them in advance
Sokka: [Picture. Description: The Two Buttons meme with Katara sweating and unable to select between "Break Sokka's heart" and "Crush Sokka's heart".]
Katara: Is this going to be a thing now?
Sokka: Only if you keep breaking/crushing my heart
Katara: Well, it IS going to be a thing then
Sokka: Are you and Zuko a thing yet?
Katara: Excuse me?
Sokka: Now, come on, Katara
Sokka: I have been a very supportive and not-nosy brother
Sokka: Surely I deserve some crumbs now?
Katara: There isn't anything for me to tell you
Katara: I swear
Sokka: How many times did the two of you "hang out" since game night?
Katara: None
Katara: Zero
Katara: Nil
Sokka: Really?
Katara: Yup
Sokka: Why?
Katara: Well, he was busy
Katara: On vacation, actually
Sokka: Huh
Sokka: That adds up
Sokka: I was wondering why he had been so silent on the groupchat
Katara: Yeah
Katara: So strange
Sokka: Wait a minute
Katara: What?
Sokka: You know the one thing that you're really bad at?
Katara: ...being nice to you?
Sokka: The other thing that you're really bad at?
Katara: ...making memes?
Sokka: Katara
Katara: Yes?
Sokka: The reason why you were upset
Sokka: Last week
Sokka: What Suki wouldn't tell me about
Katara: What?
Sokka: Sweet winter child
Sokka: There's pretending to be oblivious and then there's acting downright stupid
Katara: ...
Katara: This is exactly what Suki told me two days back
Katara: Do you sit and rehearse lines together?
Sokka: More like
Sokka: Great minds think alike
Katara: ...
Sokka: Anyway
Sokka: When do your classes end today?
Katara: Why?
Sokka: I'll be free by 3:00
Sokka: You?
Katara: Why?
Sokka: When?
Katara: 3:00
Sokka: Perfect
Sokka: You know where to find me

[1/?] Ember Island: The Muse
I know I posted a few photosets already but now that I am back home, I'm going to go through my reel and compile the pictures theme-wise! Please enjoy! ? ﾟﾒﾖ
[Photo Set. Description: Three pictures arranged in a grid. The first shows a small knife against the stem of a tree, the second shows a woman's hand with the tattoo of an arrow with 'N' written at one on her wrist, and the third shows a woman pictured from behind with her bowed over head visible.]

'the muse' is something that can actually be so personal
[Today 1:43 pm]
Katara: Hi
Katara: What's up?
Katara: How's your day going?
[Today 1:54 pm]
Suki: ...
Katara: What?
Suki: Why are you talking like that?
Katara: Excuse you?
Katara: This is exactly how I talk
Suki: Sure
Suki: Especially after you have done something stupid
Suki: Like trying to flirt with the cute girl in your class and asking her which school she goes to
Katara: FUCK OFF
Katara: Are you even my friend?
Suki: Unfortunately, I am
Katara: In my defense, she was very pretty
Katara: And my brain short-circuited
Katara: Momentarily
Suki: Sure bbz
Katara: Please stop
Suki: No
Katara: Ugh
Suki: Okay, what did you do this time?
Katara: I spoke to Zuko
Suki: Wow
Katara: Yeah
Katara: "Wow, Katara. You were a drama queen all of last week and moped and cried over this stupid boy and now you're back at it one more time. Well fucking done."
Suki: Hey, that is absolutely not what I'm saying
Katara: You might as well be
Katara: And I wouldn't even blame you
Suki: Why don't you tell me what exactly happened?
Katara: He double texted me
Katara: And it was 3:00 at night
Suki: You caved
Katara: I did
Katara: And I can't say I regret it?
Katara: Suki, his phone wasn't working and he was emailing himself texts to talk to me
Suki: Wait, for real?
Katara: YES
Katara: While on vacation with Miss Perfect Winged Eyeliner
Suki: This doesn't make sense
Katara: No, it doesn't
Suki: Unless...
Suki: Okay, hear me out
Suki: So he told you he was going on vacation with Mai very casually, right?
Katara: Yes
Katara: Like it was the most natural thing in the world
Suki: And what if it was?
Suki: You said they have known each other forever
Katara: I don't understand your point
Suki: What if it was a... family thing?
Katara: So his girlfriend is close enough to be family?
Katara: Cool cool
Suki: For fuck's sake
Suki: No, you dummy
Suki: His sister went
Suki: And Ty Lee
Katara: How do you know Ty Lee?
Suki: Oh well
Suki: [screenshot]
Suki: Remember you ghosted me?
Katara: I did not!
Suki: Sure you did
Suki: Anyway, a friend of mine in Kyoshi knows Ty Lee
Suki: They freelanced at the same wedding a few months ago
Katara: Freelanced as what?
Suki: Photographers
Katara:This conversation is all over the place
Suki: Shush
Suki: It isn't
Suki: Just listen
Suki: So my friend told me Ty Lee had been chattering all month about her upcoming trip and how she was excited to meet her friends
Suki: Especially the guy who was so in love with someone he met in college that she couldn't wait to see how pink his aura had become
Suki: I think you can do the math here
[Today 2:23 pm]
Suki: Katara?
Suki: Are you ghosting me again?
[Today 2:26 pm]
Katara: I'm sorry
Katara: None of this makes sense
Suki: IT DOES
Katara: HOW?
Suki: Zuko is just friends with Mai and the only reason they were on vacation together is because they are BOTH friends with Azula and Ty Lee
Suki: Think of it this way
Suki: If Sokka and I break up, I won't exactly stop hanging out with you guys right?
Katara: That's a fucked up comparison
Katara: Not to mention unrealistic
Suki: Just take the fucking example
Katara: ...
Suki: So just because I'm on vacation with you guys doesn't necessarily mean I am dating Sokka
Suki: Get it?
Katara: Yes, I guess
Suki: You guess?
Katara: This is all... a lot
Suki: I know
Suki: But it explains everything
Katara: Maybe
Suki: Look, he obviously cares about you
Suki: Emailing himself texts to talk to you?
Suki: That's definitely something
Katara: He's just sweet
Katara: I think he'd do it for anyone
Suki: But he did it for you
Katara: Suki
Suki: You know I'm right
Katara: In other news, I am meeting Sokka after class
Katara: I might have accidentally made it painfully obvious why I was a mess last week
Suki: Brace yourself for Meme Therapy
Katara: Still better than Cactus Juice Therapy
Suki: Agreed

fiirelord: Your advice has led me here, sifu.
thepaintedlady: lmaooo
thepaintedlady:you're funny
fiirelord: I really am not.
fiirelord: But I digress. I texted my Person (TM) and we ended up talking for some time. I couldn't bring myself to ask her why she is/was mad at me and she never brought it up either.
fiirelord: But we did talk and joke around a little. So, that was nice.
thepaintedlady: awww
thepaintedlady: i am so happy you got round to talking to her!
thepaintedlady: can I tell you something?

thepaintedlady answered:
4: Can you text as quickly with one hand as you do both?
i tried doing this! and i'm afraid i wasn't very subtle about it (ouch) and all the people in the college cafeteria stared at me but that's alright because now i know— that i unfortunately cannot.
17: Who was the last person you talked to last night before you went to bed?
my Person (TM) lol.

fiirelord: Please ask me to get lost if I'm being annoying.
thepaintedlady: not at all!
thepaintedlady: tell meeee
fiirelord: So. if you were in my Person's shoes (you know, probably a little mad at me), would you be offended if I sent you something that's somewhat an inside joke between the two of us?
thepaintedlady: oh of course not
thepaintedlady: i love inside jokes

thepaintedlady answered:
11: Why aren't you pursuing the person you like?
oh damn.
this is long so please feel free to scroll past. i would add the keep reading thing but i am on phone. sorry!
to be really honest, we are in a weird place. or i am in a weird place when it comes to him idk.
let's say i had this whole perception of him going on. i was convinced he didn't like me the way i liked him and i was going to slowly move on from that. but now—
but now he did something yesterday and i heard something today and i spoke to two (2) people irl about the whole thing and now i am no longer sure of where he stands and where we stand.
again, all the theories that my friends and i worked out today are purely conjecture so i think the best way forward is to just be friends (because dammit. i can admit this here that he is really important to me) and not worry too much about what may or may not happen in the future.
and, quite predictably i haven't answered your question.
tl;dr: basically it's just that he is very important to me and i would rather have him as a friend in my life than hope for something more.
