love that kids are emo again. i love walking into the grocery store or goodwill and seeing some teenage emo kid all decked out walking around with their mom or something
Avatar AU where Aang wakes up like 3 days before Sozin’s Comet returns and he has to speedrun the entire series.
The south pole and north pole exist on the same map file so if you break out of bound you can get from one to the other without having to travel the world.
Zuko’s redemption stat and hair stat are tied to the same variable, so if you put the right wig on him he becomes automatically redeemed.
Toph’s Earthbending allows for ample sequence breaks. If you create a ramp next to the Ba Sing Se wall you could launch yourself straight into the season 2 finale.
Unfortunately you have to complete Bato of the Water Tribe because otherwise June won’t appear in the finale, softlocking from you beating the Fire Nation.
It’s not actually necessary; but everyone always stops at the southern air temple to pick up Momo. It’s become a tradition, where the speed runs are automatically invalidated if you didn’t get him.
If I see you doing a Momoless run I’m unsubscribing.
Honestly I’m just waiting for Jetskip to actually become viable. The current setup messes up Katara’s morality stats too much to be worth it.
The only way to do that is to find a way to sequence break the bloodbending portion, which isn’t possible unless you do a a Momoless run. And considering the maneuverability boost Momo gives (with the minimal reduction to flight speed), it’s not worth it. It actually adds ten seconds to the average run and it’s really frame-perfect. One mistake, and you have to start all over again.
Fun fact: you get locked out of Momo once you get to the “free the Earthbenders” part. One guy found a glitch that triggers a cutscene that automatically gives you Momo on Kyoshi island though. It shaves twenty seconds, but then you have to make a mad dash to the eel for that portion… Which everyone has already optimized, so no big deal.
Something that I first applied to working with children, and have applied in a limited form to working with adults: you don’t need to tell someone when they read your instructions wrong. Sometimes it’s enough to point out what they did right and then whatever they didn’t do? You ask them to do it in more precise words, and you make it sound like it’s a new request. Remarkable how fast things get done this way.
This is also a habit I built up from emergency response training. If I say “I need you to bring me a first aid kit and an accident report” and you bring me just a first aid kit, it’s so much more efficient to say “thanks now can you bring me an accident report” than “I asked you to bring an accident report why didn’t you bring me one”.
Once you’ve internalized “a person bleeding out is one of the worst times to start an argument” you start to wonder what other tasks could get accomplished without arguing

My hate is colder, stronger, and you’ll have no hate to warm yourself. You will have nothing.” End text]
