When life gives you lemons...
Katara: Give a long speech about how you hope that one day the lemons will transform into lemonade.
Sokka: Whine in a sarcastic way and wish they were meat.
Toph: Eat them, dummy. The sour means they're good for you.
Zuko: Ask life if you can trade the lemons for your honor.
Iroh: Make lemon tea, of course.
Azula: Shoot life with lightning until they give you an acceptable fruit. Like cherries. Without pits.
Ozai: Throw the lemons at your son in an Agni Kai.
Aang: ...make lemonade?
Tenzin: DON'T MAKE LEMONADE. MAKE LIFE TAKE THE LEMONS BACK! GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS, WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?? DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! MAKE LIFE RUE THE DAY IT THOUGHT IT COULD GIVE TENZIN LEMONS. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? I'M THE MAN WHO'S GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN. WITH THE LEMONS. I'M GONNA GET MY AIRBENDER ACOLYTES TO INVENT A COMBUSTIBLE LEMON THAT BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”

the Buddhabrot, it took me over 1 day and 19 hours to render, and 45 muinits to compress from 643.7 MBytes to 5.7 MBytes, so that tumblr would STILL NOT accept it. so I compressed an old rendering that is not as pretty nor detailed, but still cool &#8230;
