Nonsensical ramblings of the weird, awkward, and hysterical kind.

The Blue Trees by Konstantin Dimopoulos, is a social art action. He paints trees with a ‘biologically safe pigmented water’ to make a statement about how important trees are to our survival. The color will naturally degrade over a period of months. Seattle’s trees turned color on April 2nd, 2012, and will likely remain that way through the summer. Through colour I am making a personal statement about the spirituality of trees and their importance to our very survival: trees are the lungs of the planet.

Lin paced back and forth in front of her latest captive, fixing him with a firm glare as she passed by. She had thrown blankets over all the windows on the tree house, leaving only one lantern on the table in front of the prisoner for light. That was how the cops did it in the radio shows Mama…
THIS. IS. ADORABLE. THAT IS ALL.

Hey Anon!
I loved the sixth episode! It was complex and thrilling and raised interesting moral questions about bending and its current place in the world. Lin BeiFong became a fleshed out character with depth and breadth, and awesome martial arts skills.
In regards to Tahno, I am of mixed feelings. He is a bully. He cheated, and may have caused long term physical damage to various pro-benders in his matches. At the same time, I believe that Amon’s solution was not the answer. Who is to say Tahno won’t pick up a knife and start intimidating people that way? Taking away his bending won’t make Tahno less of a bully - though we still don’t really know the psychological damage caused by removing bending ability (though it would be interesting if the aftereffects felt by Firelord Ozai was ever brought up). That is my initial feelings regarding Tahno. I am sure they will be clarify over the next few days.
Thanks so much for asking! And you don’t have to be Anon next time, you don’t want to! I don’t bite, I promise!
Can’t believe I (and the rest of tumblr) was right about Tenzin and Lin Beifong. It actually makes me kind of sad, but I am hoping they can work together to help Republic City from here on out.
LIN BEIFONG IS SUCH A BADASS. This was the episode I have been waiting for.
I wish I had more friends who watch Korra, because I have all these feelings AND NO ONE TO TALK TO. Someone hit me up, pretty please!
