I am a little high but what if people proposed with beautiful, intricate knives. Ladies would gather around the table and be like “guess what finally happened!!” And pull this beautiful, intricate dagger out of her purse and all the other ladies would gasp and congratulate her

Me: I’m a little high but –

Y’all rushing to that reblog button:

It’s an awesome idea tho

Because I have a tag for pretty weaponry, some knives I’d accept as proposals follow:

I said yes! 

(but, actually, hubby bought me a dive knife when we got married so this works…)

This was actually a cultural tradition of the Rajputs, if a man gave a woman his dagger, it was a symbol of marriage.

edit: proxy marriage when the groom is not present! It’s not a symbol for proposal.

@many-minds-of-vienna

If one of y’all lovely ladies ever wants to marry me, this is the only proposal I’ll accept

listen up my futures, here is my standard

step up to standards or become friend zoned forever

Holy damn that is one dope ass knife.

so much more practical then rings! even if not that sharp

@feynites

This is absolutely an Uthvir move

Undoubtedly. Knives make more sense the rings, I mean, you can do some considerable damage to someone if you punch them whilst wearing a diamond, but a knife is still more to the point.

there’s some lava bending going on there…. 
so she separated the ground down to the mantle layer (magma chamber)?
then floated that chunk on lava then air bended it over? 

This is often cited as the single most powerful feat in bending in the entire franchise, and I’m inclined to agree. Kyoshi Island also manages to wind up quite a distance from the mainland–let’s assume it’s still on the continental shelf, otherwise MY GOD–and is large enough to sustain a reasonably-sized village with agriculture. Unless there’s an earthbending equivalent of the great comet going on, this is nuts.

Avatar Kyoshi also lived to 230 years old.

All of this begs the question to me–what the hell was up with her? Did she get a spirit-world power boost or something? These things are all very much outside the norm, even in a world of such extraordinary people.

What’s everybody’s theory on this?

She was just that strong

My thought has always been that Kyoshi was one of the few Avatars that was completely at peace with who and what she was.  Every other Avatar we’ve seen – even the best of them like Aang and Korra – are conflicted over what they have to do and how they do it.  Guilt and self-loathing over their responsibilities and actions, regret over what they could have done better.

Kyoshi, however, never doubted herself.  Even without being arrogant, she always saw that what she did had to be done.  She took what were the only options.  You see this even in the advice she gives to subsequent Avatars: Be decisive.  Be final.  Commit.

Because of that, she was one of the few (Maybe only) Avatars who was able to completely encompass the powers available to them.  No part of her subconsciously didn’t want to use them.  There was no hesitancy buried so deep that she even didn’t realize it,   Unlike Aang, or Roku, or Koruk, or Korra, or Yangchen, or even Wan, she was able to give herself over totally to whatever she was doing and hold nothing back.

That’s why she was able to accomplish feats of bending and skill that no other Avatar could equal: Because she, alone of all the Avatars, had she SHEER CHUTZPHA to do it.

other avatars ask “can i do it?”

kyoshi says “of course i can.”

Believe in yourself like Avatar Kyoshi believed in herself. Encompass the spirit of Avatar Kyoshi. I am a bad-ass and I WILL JUST DO IT

I like to think that a component of this was that Kyoshi had a personality and outlook that was, unlike most Avatars, extremely close to Raava’s own.

So she hesitated a lot less and had far fewer troubles embracing her nature as the Avatar, because she was looking at things nearly the same way a spirit would. Out of all the Avatars we’ve seen, Kyoshi strikes me as the most Raava-like. Determined, decisive, entirely committed to her role with an abiding confidence that speaks of great internal equilibrium. I think this was mostly just a coincidence, like, she just happened to have both a natural inclination and an upbringing that let her grow up this way, but the overall effect was near-perfect harmony between the Avatar’s mortal and spirit sides.

oppression isn’t generational and trying to frame politics as “the old people are wrong and the young people are right” erases the fact that there are old people who have been fighting the good fight for decades and the fact that there are young people who are literally nazis

Plus while there might be less old people fighting the good fight it’s usually because they were killed or were part of the minorities that have poor living conditions that kill you early

As came up recently, in fact: Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Don’t Survive to Become Seniors

Can you please do me a favor?

murasakihime:

I know that most of you live far away from Greece and you probably haven’t even heard about the catastrophic fires in my country which are still going strong. Those fires have already killed more than 70 people and many more are still missing. It’s not the first time we experience such tragedy, wildfires are happening every year in Greece. Because some people prioritize money over the human lives and they want to use the burnt areas to their benefit. 

That’s why I’m asking you to help put an end to it. It won’t take you much time and it won’t cost you anything. All you need is to follow that LINK and sign  the petition. If you click on that link you’ll be directed in a page which includes information in English. So please, all I’m asking for is to visit the page and read the info and if you agree with our cause to sign the petition. It will help to put an end in the human and ecological catastrophe in Greece.

Also, please consider to reblog this post to spread the awareness. 

Thank you!

[In case you need help to sign the petition but don’t know how since that part is in Greek:
