Finally, finally, finally watched the last two Avatar episodes. :D I missed Avatar so very very much! ^^ I can't believe the series is gonna end so soon.
ZUKO!!!!!!! AND SOKKA!!!!!!! TOGETHER!!!!! XD They're such total dorks! XD
Sokka: My first girlfriend turned into the moon.
Zuko: ...That's rough, buddy.
XD
And also, SUKI!!! <3 I love her so much. She looks so pretty without the Kyoshi warriors costume! :D And there was a kiss! Out of all the Sokka pairings, Sokka/Suki is my favorite. ^^ I was so glad they didn't just forget about her.
Sokka: Oh, good. You guys have met.
Suki: Actually, we met a long time ago.
Zuko: We did?
Suki: Yeah... you kinda burned down my village.
Zuko: Oh. Sorry about that. Nice to see you again!
...Oh, Zuko. XDDDD
And then the Maiko scene. Poor Mai. ;_; She was actually emotional, which shows how much upset she is. Of course, that doesn't stop her from being her awesome sarcastic self.
Zuko: How did you know I was here?
Mai: Because I know you so well.
Zuko: But, how…
Mai: The warden’s my uncle, you idiot.
;_; I really felt for Mai in that scene. I love her now even more than I did.
And then there's Hakoda. I gotta ask: am I the only one who thinks Hakoda is totally hot? XD I bet that's where his kids got their good looks from.
I liked part 2 better, mainly because there were all these AWESOME battle scenes. :DDDD I live for those scenes.
Hakoda: It's not over yet. We need to get the Warden.
Suki: Leave it to me. >:D
Suki: *UTTERLY AND TOTALLY KICKS EVERYONE'S BUTT AND IS GENERALLY BEING AN AMAZING AND AWESOME AND TOTALLY HOT GODDESS OF BADASS*
Hakoda: Wow. That's some girl.
Sokka: ^________________^
And then the oh-so cool fight on the roof of the wagon. @_@ Zuko and Sokka, working together! That was so cool. And they were holding their ground against Azula! (Btw, rocketboots? The fuck? XD I t felt like a videogame.)
And then Mai comes to the rescue, kicking ass like a ninja... and actually goes against Azula! I always knew she'd betray her, but I was excpecting it to happen in the finalle. Actually, what really surprised me was Ty Lee's betrayal. I thought she'd be too scared of Azula to do it. She's got guts!
I can't wait for the next episode... although I'm really sad the series is coming to an end. T_T
Anyway, other than that, I also watched the Naruto Shippuuden Movie. It was... okay, I guess. Like every other Naruto movie. It had four multicoloured weird villains, and a Big Bad Boss, and cool fights, and a completely confusing and wtf inducing plot. The only thing that made this movie TOTALLY worth it was the scene with Shika and Temari fighting together! ^___^ Not that it made any sense (no one ever mentioned Suna, and I don't think Shikamaru was supposed to be there) but it was so cool! I love it when they give us all these subtle-but-not-really hints. ^__^ I think it's obvious, guys: THE UNIVERSE SHIPS SHIKATEMA!!! >:D
And last but not least, the obligatory meme:
The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;)
