Should A Frisbee Come Our Way, I Volunteer Rei.
GUESS WHO IS GOING TO BE AT DERREN BROWN'S LIVE SHOW AT THE ADELPHI ON THE TWENTY-SIXTH OF JUNE?
...yes, all right, Derren Brown. BUT ALSO ME.
And also also
sacred_sarcasm,
reipan,
hippyjolteon,
sos_your_face,
_afterism and
cryforthemoon.
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME, YOU GUYS. Unless Derren attacks us with needles and feeds us broken glass and throws us into a pond filled with zombies, which may slightly detract from the awesome. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY AWESOME ANYWAY.
Now I am going to talk about Avatar!
I've been putting off watching Avatar for a while, waiting for the alarmingly obsessive phase in which I actually get angry with things for not having Derren Brown in them to pass so that I could appreciate it properly. Now that I have reached the slightly more sane stage in which, whilst I certainly would not object to Derren Brown showing up in the world of Avatar (which nation would he come from? would he introduce 'mindbending' as a new type of bending skill?), I can forgive him for not being present, I can go back to watching Derrenless things. Today, I watched 'The Painted Lady' and 'Sokka's Master'.
And, oh, I love Avatar so very much. It is so beautiful! And the characters are wonderful! And the use of bending is so creative!
(I really like the way that the humans in Team Avatar refer to Appa and Momo as their friends, rather than, say, their pets. Barriers of species are no barrier to friendship!)
'I will never turn my back on people who need me!' 'Well, you need me, and I will never turn my back on you.' KATARA AND SOKKA. ♥
I have heard that people 'ship Katara/Sokka, which... really isn't something I can understand. Their relationship seems so healthy! My mind actually shies away from considering it, because I cannot comprehend how it would work. Are any of you Katara/Sokka fans? If so, would you like to explain it to me? (This isn't a hostile 'YOUR PAIRING IS WRONG'; I am genuinely curious. I'm not even demanding good reasons. I 'ship Sam Winchester/Toshiko Sato based purely on the fact that all the people they love die, after all.)
I'd totally be up for some wrong wrong wrong wrong Azula/Zuko, though.
Something that just occurred to me: I would really like to see Katara and Sokka travelling with the Doctor. (Has the Doctor ever travelled with a pair of siblings? Because that would be delightful.) PERHAPS AANG IS THE DOCTOR. He regenerates! Sort of! He has a love of discovery and accumulates companions! APPA IS CLEARLY THE TARDIS.
