Oh, the thing where they're allowing automatic posting of LJ posts to Facebook - I mean, it doesn't really affect me personally, but since I was sorta already going, hey, the grass is greener on DW, apparently, I thought I'd move sooner rather than later. And, omg, I hadn't hear about the usericons. Eeeeeew.

I'm really glad you think it worked, mood-wise. I once wrote an undergrad paper on the portrayal of Tibet as Shangri-la in Western literature, so I guess I'm extra invested in getting crazy-fantasy-Avatar-Tibet right?

Which, btw, I think they did an ok job of in the show, if only by virtue of not making the Airbenders too rose-tinted - I mean, it's really hilariously depressing, to some extent, that a half-way-decent take on Tibet in modern western fantasy is one where everyone dies. Well, apart from Aang. But he is the chosen one.
