Gratitude Journal: 5/24/2020

When I first watched it, I was closer in age to the characters (still older than them, but in my teens) and all the cringy moments hit me much harder. Now I look at these kids trying their best and I feel such deep affection for every single one of them. What a wonderful show with an amazing finale.
1a. I will say, the caveat to this is that: I BroTP Zuko and Katara with the same fervent intensity that I NOTP them, and that makes looking for fic very...difficult. But still: I am fortunate in that I am a person who very much loves and adores every single one of the main canon pairings, and the show gives them (what I feel) are such good interactions and arcs, so even if I can't find much fic, the source material makes me very happy.
2. The cat had his second good day. I don't necessarily trust it because more time has passed in between Bad Days than this before, but given that I have both food and medication for him, I am hopeful.
2a. I spoke to my dad about The Issues, and while we are not entirely in agreement long-term, we don't know if it'll come to a point of conflict (because we don't know what he'll end up needing), and we are agreed short-term. So I think I can relax a bit at least for the immediate future, at least as far as their reactions.
3. A very fun DND session with friends as per usual these days. I am learning how to use my dwarf's cleric powers to her advantage and I feel like I'm becoming more comfortable with the game in general, which is exciting.
