Persona #4 Zuko the prince of the new era

Hey, babes. Before I start my usual ramble let's get some thing out of the way.

First of, I can't resist just talking about real people so there you go, another gorgeous fictional character to admire.

Second, if for some obscure reason you still haven't watched Avatar: The Last Airbender (not Kora or God Help Us that movie) then immediately disembark this page and go watch it, like binge watch it and after you absorb all the beauty, deepness and every little thing about this show, then do come back and enjoy some decent (maybe not so decent) appreciation post for the biggest rebelish cinnamon roll in this universe aka Mr. Zuzu.

Now, when you've been warned, let me invite you to join on our emotional rollercoaster ride.

It would be wrong to say that Zuko was the only one who changed throughout  the series because one of the best things about Avatar is definitely character development. Every character got his/her dose of life-changing events. Although, to me, Zuko is one of those who developed the most and for the best. Let's begin our little retrospective journey.

When we first meet the Prince in exile he comes across as I short-tempered, self-centred blind rebellious teenager. Honestly, I immediately didn't like him for being such an asshole but we should appreciate his blind determination to get what he must get. If not for Zuko's lovely uncle Iroh who balanced everything out,  Zuko could've exploded right there during his first "battle" with team Avatar. Our little Prince went a long road to become such a graceful King. We saw him next to his crazy sister and father which made us think that maybe he ain't that bad compered to his family. His storyline seemed to be always on the complete polar opposites. It had to be extreme, it's either he's being a total fuckboy and ruining everything in front of him or he's having strong spiritual awakenings and trying to get shit together and correct his past mistakes. 

Even tho Iroh helped him all the way, Zuko still found his path in life when he was alone which makes me love him even more. 

Some of my fav moments of his storyline differently are: 

1. Him being the mystery mask boy and saving everyone

2. Trying to master lighting and failing at it and then discovering a better ability (such a cinnamon roll)

3. Being friends with Toph

3.2 Talking to frog about life (again cinnamon roll)

4. Going on field trips with team Avatar (including Him and Aang being stuck in resin and then dancing the dragon dance; Mai x Zuko  moment during prison escape)

5. Reuniting with his uncle Iroh

6. Final battle against his sis ft. Katara (this episode I totally shipped it)

Ah, Zuko is such a cinnamon roll, my heart always starts beating so fast whenever I remember that time when he finally joined Team Avatar and they spent time together and went to his child home and  watched that obscure theatrical performance.

I would've totally shipped Katara and Zuko but like my fav none canon ship is Katara and Jet (I know, I know he's such a fuckboy but still, I can't). What's your fav ship and fav moment w/ Zuko?

Zuko changed from a lost angry baby to a graceful wise adult. If he managed to go through so much shit and grow up a decent person in such a family then we can totally do it too. He's such an inspiration to me. Plus he's a true cinnamon roll, we've seen him being vulnerable and lost so many times it feels like he spent the whole series struggling with his own identity (which is true and is good).

The moral of today is as always  -  be true, be you and search for better things

Also, be kind

Mad Aesthetics

Hey, here I'm with somewhat random post again. Actually, I was planning to talk about my favourite commercials for some time but then I though that no one needs it and then I accidentally watched one of them and just opened the gates to endless void of my most precious aesthetically pleasing videos that I've carefully collected over the years but none of my friends seem to like it as much as I do, so there it is, I came to you, creatures of the internet, to spill it out and seek a confirmation that I'm not mad yet.

Please enjoy my little compilation, excluding a lot of shortfilms and some other videos because it would've literally taken forever to watch all of it.

Starting with my ultimate dream aka Sergei Polunin whom I sure you've heard about million times

Can't get enough of it and honestly can't wait to go see him live too, I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack or something. Speaking about beautiful men, take a look at these two

Then of course Luca Fersko and his pretentious deep and spontaneous creation

Let's keep the theme going with this fashionable videos

Who said Lucky Blue? Every girl 'cause he's damn hot

Speaking about hot guys, not everyday and everywhere you see such a cluster of handsome, cool and just gorgeous boys

Now, when we safely made it so far (maybe not 'cause it's not just wet, we're drowning), just take a few minutes to appreciate and remind yourself of dis "solo" beautifulness

I know, I know it hurts so much because it simultaneously so unbelievably cool but also so so painful but don't dare die here, I've got you covered with one of my most fav sketches of all time

Do you think we're done with music videos, well, hell no. My russian heart is forever deeply connected with Kamikaze because it is so close so true 

Okay okay okay

Before it is too much, let me just show you those commercials I was talking about earlier 

 And finally two glorious and inspirational videos for you, lads 

So now there's the question. Does the fact that I can live my life just by watching these videos instead of eating, going out, doing anything, does it make me a pretentious egoistic typical white ass bitch? Maybe, maybe... but I don't care 'cause this is my love this is my life 

I'm done 

Bye 

Ivanka, out

Persona #1 Quicksilver

(probability of spoilers be careful)

Hey, and welcome to my fresh new rubric where I talk about people; movie, animation and anime  characters and basically creatures that I adore.

Today's all about, as you may guess,

Quicksilver by one and only Evan Peters

Wait wait wait, if you haven't seen the most popular and cool scene ever, go and do that. If you did tho, just watch it again because why not

So now when you're back take your time to soak it in.

Let's talk about the reason or should I say reasons for me choosing him this week. First of, Evan Peters is hella sexy and sassy and badass in this role. Secondly, a new part of X-Men (aka X-men: Apocalypses) just came out and you should totally go check it btw. Thirdly, the music - every time Quicksilver has some screen time music choice is so on point (like Guardians Of the Galaxy mixtape, this high top level music). Finally, how can you just not fall in love with a rebellious yet sensitive Evan Peters with fucking silver hair, right?

Now moving on to his character. Basically, if we go back to CU (aka comic universe) Quicksilver is first introduced to us as an addition to X-men. His name is Pietro Maximoff and he has  twin sister Wanda Maximoff also known as Scarlet Witch. He's super fast like really really fast, faster than Flash. And oh, did I mention that he's Magneto's son? That's right, it's true in the CU as well as in cinematic (was that a spoiler for you? If so, I'm sorry, man). He eventually became a part of X-men family and a superhero himself later.
So, you've probs seen Avengers and their Quicksilver ain't bad, he even has a sister (whom X-men's doesn't have for whatever reason) but let me tell you Pietro of the X-men is way more full of personality and less stressed and conservative. He basically can save a movie by just having a 2 minute scene in it. Maybe he's a show-off or the "deadpool" of this movie universe but for me it only makes him cooler. He's hella handsome, his style is perfect, as well as his musical taste, his jokes are funny and he still manages to be down-to-earth and really close to us young people. I may regret saying it but I actually like him more  than The Flash (I'm talking about recent Flash from the TV show). It may seem to you like he doesn't play much of a role in the movies but a few words he says sometimes can be way more valuable than endless talks of Mr. Xavier (not that I don't like him because I love him for real). You can feel how vulnerable he is whenever he talks to his "father".


Spoiler alert!
Oh God that moment from Apocalypses when he nearly said made me cry. Like this whole movie I was worrying for him so much and hopped that he would tell Magneto but oh man, I guess they're going to shoot one more part. I mean how else do you explain that everyone knows about it except Erik himself...
Spoiler end


Overall, there are so many reasons to love this character, this badass boy like even ads with him little cool short movies look at them

Did you enjoy it? I hope so. 

Until next time. See ya
