I cut my hair noticeably and literally the only reason my mom will notice is if I didn’t clean up completely and she sees one of the little hair snips.

“Your hair looks nice… did it rain on it”

I showered and cut it but yeah the sprinkle made a significant difference in what my hair looks like let’s go with that

And it’s noticeable too. I don’t get it.

But my history teacher and one of my friends (I guess) did… okay

Shit, Butterball was one of my Sploder friends and I made this big ass deal out of telling her that I was actually not a boy and I just let people on the forums think that, which is probably my worst memory of that website, given I don’t at all regret becoming a POW intentionally just to see what it was like, and since I apologized to my friend there…

I was seeing this person for the first time and I decided it was a fun idea to tell them that 4 people died in hockey games in 1904 and that hockey started off with only backwards passing… did she ask or show any interest in hockey? No. It was barely relevant to the conversation at hand. Why.

Toph’s Pointing Out That She Is Blind Photoset | Requested by puzzlegirlsandpoprocks

Toph is the best.

asjdfl;kasjdfs

Toph’s blindness was one of the most excellently handled aspects of AtLA because it wasn’t treated like a disability. So often in shows (and especially children’s animation) disabled characters are limited to apperances in “very special episodes” where the main characters have to learn a lesson that these people are capable “in spite of” their handicaps, like that episode of Kim Possible wherein Kim constantly stumbles over herself around Felix. This approach is often just as insulting as making them the butt of jokes, because it’s patronizing and it limits the amount of roles disabled characters are allowed to have.

Avatar challenged that stereotype with Teo, and then sent a giant middle finger its way by introducing Toph. She’s turned what would otherwise be a disability into an advantage, and she’s not afraid to crack jokes about it. She functions well enough that the other characters often forget that she is blind, but at the same time it’s an integral part of her bending and allows her to be the greatest earthbender ever. It sends a powerful message that having a physical disability does not make you less of a person, and often affords you a unique perspective that the so-called “normal” people never get to experience.

One of the many reasons I love this show.
