I'm Glad People Like Bayker But I Cannot Get Past The Concept Of A Baker Who Snuffles And Sniffs All

The most random detail from AtLA that stuck with me is how much more comfortable Zuko always seemed using his swords compared to his bending. Firebending is such a big deal in the fire nation; even if if he isn't as good with it as Azula (which no doubt contributes to his discomfort), having it is such a big privilege, and yet... Sometimes the gifts we're born with aren't the ones we're meant to use.

This poll is not part of the tournament, but does that make it any less meaningful? I don't think so. Reblog for sample size.

(so this is the final we *would have gotten* if there hadn't been that last-minute Vander surge. let's make this count)

Viktor vs. Ekko

I love rain world gourmand. Perfect creature. They took the appealing simplicity of the slugcat and made it round. No notes. Reblog if you agree

I also wonder if he helped him with certain things that would have been difficult for him as a Yordle. It's not exactly a disability in the traditional sense, but there's got to be a lot of things heimerdinger can't do as a (very!) small person in a world of much larger people, and I think the idea of Viktor, a disabled man himself, helping him out with that kind of thing is... Kind of nice? Like, I imagine he gets a little sick of having to be helped, so getting to do that for someone else makes him feel a little more independent. Viktor, dean's assistant and official getter-of-things-on-high-shelves.

An interesting aspect of Viktor's character I haven't seen anyone talk about is that he was the Dean's assistant for awhile. That's, like, a big job. If you're the assistant of The Man in charge, you're doing a lot; scheduling, mediating, doing the mundane work that's necessary but not something Heimterdinger would do. We see this in the way that Heimerdinger sends Viktor to collect Jayce and all of his illegal science stuff.

A job like that requires a lot. Communication skills, a willngness to do the uncomfortable work (confront people, deal with misshaps, etc so Heimerdinger didn't have to), organizational skills, etc. And a lot of being on the move; running errands, following Heimerdinger around, stuff like that.

I assume people would have known about Viktor because it's likely many of them would have gone through him to communicate with Heimerdinger (and vice versa).

The fact that Viktor is relatively introverted while still doing all of this is so impressive and a testament to both his abilities and the intensity of passion that motivated him.

Wretched creature.

Really feeling the same pain as when httyd3 came out right now. They should invent a finale to my favourite things that are good
