I love that bullshit checklist of “what a good redemption arc needs to be” that was written by a person whose only reference for literary structure seems to be Avatar the Last Airbender.  I love how so many people are treating it as gospel.  I love that this is how literary criticism works like now.

if zuko is the lowest you can sink before being unworthy of redemption, what hope do any of us have?

I’ve straight-up seen variations of that list where one of the criteria is “character is already a good person” which really makes one wonder what they think redemption means

Wild things I have learnt in therapy:

  • When a child cries, parents are supposed to comfort them, not punish them
  • Parents are, in fact, supposed to want to spend time with their children
  • Children too have a right to privacy, meaning parents are not allowed to read their diaries etc and then punish them for the thoughts they found about
  • Children are allowed to be upset and cry
  • Children don’t have to earn the love and attention from their parents by performing various things
  • Children are not supposed to be scared of going home and/or their parents
  • Children are not supposed to be physically abused and even a little bit of hitting is actually physical abuse
  • Parents are not supposed to expect that children are mentally as mature as other adults
  • Children are not supposed to be told that they’re an accident, a burden, or something the parents regret
  • Children are not supposed to be scared and ashamed of themselves or feel like failures because of their parents
