"But in the end, back she comes. There’s no use resisting. She goes to him for amnesia, for oblivion. She renders herself up, is blotted out; enters the darkness of her own body, forgets her name. Immolation is what she wants, however briefly. To exist without boundaries."

I HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM IN LEGEND OF KORRA

buetterfliege:

by which I mean I WANT TO KNOW MORE

I mean the worldbuilding— the WORLDBUILDING— it’s so amazing but so far it’s only hinting at this much deeper socioeconomic current and I need to know everything right now oh my god

like, first of all, the existence of the Equalists - what are they actually protesting? At first I was watching today’s episode and being like, “this concept of the ‘bending elite’ is bullshit, because if benders are so ‘elite’ then why are Mako and Bolin dirt-poor-working-class being shamelessly exploited by the pro-bending institution, why is Mako working in a factory to make ends meet, how can anyone be elite when they are engaging in GLADIATORIAL COMBAT for a fucking living? and if the benders are so ~elite~ then WHY ARE THEY ALL IN GANGS” 

but then I realized— holy shit, this is a world that has INDUSTRIALIZED bending. Mako works in a factory, in a power plant, doing assembly line work— but it’s assembly line work that only a firebender could do. How many other jobs keeping Republic City running are bender-only? How much better do those pay than jobs not specific to benders? Do they at all? Or is the Equalists’ protest simply a frustrated attempt to pin the blame for a deeper-running employment problem on a class that’s really easy to blame?

And, well, benders ARE really easy to blame— I mean, IRL people will tell you “get a college degree because no matter what job you’re looking for, if it comes down to a guy with a degree and a guy without they’ll take the guy with the degree”

Now imagine that a fourth of the population (or whatever, I wish I knew how bender genetics worked) IS BORN WITH A FUCKING COLLEGE DEGREE

and you can start to see the Equalists’ point

BUT it’s not clear yet the extent to which that’s actually a problem, as being the ~bending elite~ doesn’t seem to have helped out Our Heroes much at this point and there’s not a wide enough picture yet of the world or the differences between classes (outside of the existence of bender-specific jobs, the secluded Airbenders, and the Equalists’ general pissiness) to determine whether non-benders are actually facing real economic oppression in comparison to benders

BASICALLY I JUST WANT GRAPHS

GIVE ME A GRAPH OF THE BENDER VS. NON-BENDER LABOR MARKET

GIVE ME PILES OF STATISTICS ON THE FUNCTION OF REPUBLIC CITY’S INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

GIVE ME DATA ON PER CAPITA INCOME FOR BENDERS VS. NON-BENDERS

I WANT TO KNOW

BLESS THIS ENTIRE POST.

afff. i can’t even deal with my drafts right now. 

so, this won’t be a long update, but i should announce that i will be back on here more often in the next couple of days (even if sporadically so). 

my life is ridiculous at the moment…there’s quite a lot going on all at once. suffice to say i’ve been exhausted in every sense of the word. i finished my last final today though, and i have about a week to enjoy *life* before i start work. 

oh yeah, i’m employed. i’ll be working two jobs this summer.

too exhausted to talk about everything else, so i’m going to go watch the new Korra ep then read ASOIAF.
