Okay but why do none of Team Avatar (also known as the Gaang) have good role models???

@Hades_Loki_Anubis :D good to know!
          	  
          	  Ooo, that looks interesting, I'll have to check it out when I'm in a better mental state.
          	  
          	  Certainly, that's the explanation for what most fictional characters go through in the end. Yeah, the whole For The Greater Good gets on my nerves, but again, all I can say is children's show, and try not to get too hung up on it haha

@Rippo- That's fine. I love ranting, ask anyone who knows me. I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4544ZUr_gA on Azula's mental state. I think the strongest argument anyone can make for these characters is "plot reasons?" The creators needed a plot and characters with depth. Which they did do even if they used the whole For The Greater Good/End Justifies The Means mentality.

@Hades_Loki_Anubis Basically, I don't hate Iroh (though nor do I particularly like him), and I understand that maybe there wasn't a lot that could've been done, but I do think he could have made a difference in some ways if he'd attempted to.
          	  Then again, it's a show aimed more towards a younger audience so we can't ask for that much more character depth, they did a great job with Zuko and the whole evil - confused - trying-to-be-good thing

Okay but that nod to Loki being genderfluid in the first ep of the new series gave me life

Rippo-

@Hades_Loki_Anubis I know haha, i just appreciate that modern media hasn't completely heteronormatized(?) it

@Rippo- I mean...in the mythos, he did transform into a female horse to "distract" a stallion. Then disappeared for a few months, came back with an eight-legged horse and told Odin to not ask any questions. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.deviantart.com%2Fbriannacherrygarcia%2Fart%2Fhappy-mother-s-day-301905242&psig=AOvVaw1gMoZ1L2iRjydpms6bLBAU&ust=1623669215926000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNDgi869lPECFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

Hey guys!
          
          Who's a character from a book, film or show that made you feel represented?
          
          (This is mainly aimed at my fellow lgbt+ folks, *whispers* happy pride!, but feel free to answer no matter if you're lgbt+ or just an ally!
          Is there a character out there with anxiety just like you? Or a diverse cast that fills you with joy? Hell, do you just identify with a character for no apparent reason & they make you feel at home?
          I'd love to hear about it!)

@wwwFANGIRLcom Aweosme :D Honestly same, Ace rep is so rare and Raphael is badass! Me too ♡-♡, Loki is the absolute best and I just adore that we got canon Genderfluid/Bi rep in one of my favourite characters!

@Rippo- definitely Raphael Santiago from Shadowhunters but MCU Loki being Genderfluid also made me flip out

I'm very curious.
          
          Do you guys think you can kiss someone on the lips (voluntarily) without the condition of a romantic or sexual relationship?

@Rippo- Yes, but like a short peck not making out and only ever with friends, but in most places it is on the cheek even with strangers, France is one of those places, my teacher once offended the French when he dodged a kiss
