But Katara, fighting the wind with each step, slowly made her way toward me. She didn’t seem afraid of me this time. She just took hold of my body and hugged me. She didn’t say a word.
Gradually my anger subsided and I saw the winds die down. Then I felt myself returning to earth, to my body. Katara did something for me that words could not do. The simple act of hugging me told me that she was there for me completely, without judgment, without lectures, without fear. It struck a chord deep inside me. I felt my heart open up to her. …
Then the wind stopped. But the pain I’d been keeping at bay rushed in with the force of a hurricane. I closed my eyes, gave myself over to Katara’s arms, and cried harder than I had ever cried in my life.
From the Tale of Aang, Earth Kingdom Chronicles
“Run!” Sokka shouted, grabbing Toph and pulling her away from Aang.
No. Not me. I’m not running away from Aang. I’m going right through the tornado funnel. I don’t care how dangerous it might be. Aang needs me and I’m not letting him down. Just reach up and–got him! Now he’s looking down at me. See, he’s coming back down. He just needs to know that I’m here for him. After everything he’s done, everything he’s meant to me, it’s the least I can do. I am not letting go.
There, the wind is calming down. He’s coming out of the Avatar state. It’s okay, Aang. I’m here. And I’m not going anywhere.
I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(
hnn I WANT IT SO BAD
on closer inspection, it makes a lot of really obnoxious noises and is also Too Expensive. BUT FEAR NOT I found this slightly smaller dude wedged in the back!
IT HAS BITE ACTION, AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS

Extreme Chompin T-Rex says IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
Can we take a moment to appreciate that we can use this as a rosetta stone to say “EXTREME CHOMPIN’ “ in four languages?
OH SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT, let me check the garbage to see if it’s still there! hopefully I didn’t destroy it in my excitement
*roar sound effect*
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
update update: I re-sized her collar and found a bag of toy bones at the craft store. I haven’t put this much effort into a non-school thing since my last job search, help
(secret bonus: the other side of her tag)
There’s more!
I love.
I saw that people are reblogging the thread again, so I thought I’d give you all an update on how Wexter is doing!
(just fine)
Wexter And The Case Of Her Continuing Marvelously Naughty Garden Adventures
OP and Wexter can break all my toes and I would still send a thank you card
Wexter says SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING (but she might chew your ankles a little bit maybe)
so it’s come to my attention that at some point this weekend Wexter blew past 100,000 notes, and I for one think that’s very cash money of her.
it’s been a few weeks, I suppose we should check up on the AHSGSHGAFB?!
