tears are not a woman’s only, weapon
Fandoms are a lot like English teachers, they read into the story so much that they come up with logical things that the writer never even realised.
This is one of my favorite Meelo expressions.
Mike and I were having a conversation with my friend/former professor while his young son was crawling all over his back and head, slapping him in the face, tugging on his ears, etc. To our amazement, my friend calmly continued the conversation while simultaneously playfully wrestling with his rambunctious son. A year and a half later, when we were coming up with the Airbender kids, we thought he would be a fun, chaotic personality to throw in the mix and test Tenzin’s patience and fathering skills.
Ryu gravitated to this character right away and enthusiastically worked on his design. Mike and I originally envisioned Meelo as a cute kid, but Ryu insisted, “I want him to be ugly.” Ha! We pulled Ryu back a bit and ended up with the lumpy-headed kid we all love. (I have a bit of a Klingon ridge on the top of my skull, so I can personally relate his lumpy-headedness. Mike, on the other hand, as you all know, has a perfectly formed head.)
i think 60% of my life consists of me laughing by myself
Boggs’ POV:
“They’re just kids,” I shout at her. Coin tells me it’s none of my business and I am to take her orders. I hang up, infuriated. I’m pacing around, gathering my thoughts. Isn’t it enough that they’re a pair of broken souls? This war tore them apart. She’s fighting a war much bigger than herself, and although she has conviction, it still isn’t fair. She should be home with her mother and sister. Instead, she’s shooting targets under the orders of a leader who wants her dead. And the boy… The boy doesn’t even have his sanity to hold on to anymore. I wanted to keep him as far away as possible. Now he’s here and he’s a threat. Not only to Katniss Everdeen, but also to our squad. Now I may have to kill Peeta Mellark.
