The kid on the left was so funny. One day last week, he just walked up to me and started saying the word “please” over and over. No introductions. No explanations. Just “please.” His friend had never heard of HONY and was very confused. I ended up taking their photo, but the photo never made it on the blog. Then, yesterday, I received an email. Clearly worried that his photo had been lost in the shuffle, our protagonist tried to spice up his portrait with a self-described “interesting” backstory. The story proved hilariously weak. In essence, he used 250 words to say he was on the way to his house to grab a frisbee: “My friends and I were all hanging out on the upper east side, five of us to begin with. We all decide to go to the great lawn in central park because of the beautiful day that it was. Somehow, the idea got into their heads ‘we need to play frisbee on the lawn.’ Being the only person whose house was within walking distance, I was essentially forced into going home and picking up my frisbee—something that I was not trying to do because of reasons undisclosed. Reluctantly, I went, and dragged my friend Matt with me for company. On such a beautiful day, how could one be in a bad mood? Easy: be forced to go do something that one does not want to do. The series of events made me a little bummed out, until I walked two blocks and ran into ‘that guy who does HONY.’”Anyway, I am posting his portrait as a testament to perseverance.

oh, Jarrett…

—Amon (Beauty and the Beast/LOK Parody)

tinysaurus:

I don’t even have an excuse for this one other than it needed to be done… their names RHYME, okay?! It was destiny! Gaston is clearly one of the best Disney villains ever. And you know Amon secretly checks himself out and makes his Equalist cronies sing about him. It’s basically canon. Enjoy! :)

_{No one creeps like Amon
Haunts your sleep like Amon
Makes those prissy-haired probenders weep like Amon}

_{For there’s no Equalist half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any non-bender handy
And they’ll tell you whose team they’d prefer to be on}

_{No one’s fast as Amon
Wears a mask like Amon
Wants to kick Avatar Korra’s ass like Amon}

_{And his speeches are really intimidating
My what a guy, that Amon!}

_{Give five “flameo”s
Give twelve “yip-yip”s
Amon is the best and the rest is all drips}

_{No one plots like Amon
Calls the shots like Amon
No one hides out and never gets caught like Amon}

_{So you benders don’t even think of escaping
My what a guy, Amon!}
