Oh to be a gremlin child again. Covered in grass stains and grazes, hair unbrushed with daisies in the knots, no concept of my own physicality, half way up a tree and eating an apple around my missing tooth. To be unabashedly ugly, to be unashamedly hungry, to be healthy and hearty and lean and covered in bruises and full of love and sun warmed strawberries. To feel time stretch forever, only flying when I fall into books. To love summer once more, and her insects and sweat.
These days, there are angry ghosts all around us - dead from wars, sickness, starvation - and nobody cares. So you say you’re under a curse? So what? So’s the whole damn world.
can i get uhhhhhh hell yeah to avatar and korra for including characters with physical impairments but not letting those impairments limit their full potential as benders because i am ALL about that
despite being blind, toph became the greatest earthbender in the world and she invented metalbending and she has the capability to take down entire groups of enemies all on her own
and ming-hua was one of the most powerful enemies in the legend of korra despite not having any arms; she figured out how to use her bending abilities to make herself even stronger than she would’ve been if she had arms
