*ordering A Cake Over The Phone*

Me: *watching avatar*

My mother: why are you still watching cartoons at this age?

Me:

Matsuda finally convinces Light and Misa to let him hang out with them. Now he's 3 hours deep in their princess themed tea party talking about their next steps as Kira. He's debating on what to do, and really doesn't want to turn in his new besties.

okay, so remember when aang finds out that fire nation soldiers were at the southern air temple and enters the avatar state and the statues' eyes in the air temple sanctuary light up?

and then after that the different avatar temples in the other nations also light up?

so does that happen every time the avatar goes into the avatar state? or only the first time it happens?

so either way, they really should've noticed it sooner, like when aang went glow mode three times before this??

one when he first created the iceberg to protect himself and appa

two when katara cracked the iceberg

and three later in zuko's boat

and even if we consider the first two to be one long extended avatar state like some theories suggest, even then the temples^^ should've lit up two avatar states ago...

i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.

inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.

both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

My ringtone is just Light Yagami laughing and so the looks I get whenever I'm out in public and my phone goes off are absolutely priceless

Misa: I taught my Shinigami to do a trick *throws ball at Rem*

Rem: *just stands there*

Matsuda: uh, she didn't catch it

Misa: I taught her to ignore social conventions and to think for herself

Achillies playing the lyre for Patroclus for the 100th time and he never gets sick of it

Light: Do you want some tea?

L: What are the options?

Light: Yes or no
