"Do you know what makes an Air Nomad? It's the ability to sit down quietly, wherever you are, be it dark room or empty field, and just . . . sit. To sit with yourself, without causing problems or hurting anyone else. That's it. That's all it is. The airbending pales in comparison."
-- Avatar Yangchen, The Dawn of Yangchen

Master Tenzin what holidays do the air nomads celebrate ?
"Typical Air Nomad fashion is to celebrate everything. We have over 200 recorded annual holidays, festivals, and ceremonies. But here are the main ones:
New Year's
Bonding Day (the day young monks and nuns are paired with their bison)
Guru Laghima's Day of Enlightenment (literally one of many guru's and their enlightenment, but his is the most popular)
Cleansing Day (We spend a week deep-cleaning the temples and it culminates in three days of spiritual cleansing ceremonies.)
Yangchen Festival (celebrating Yangchen's victory over the spirit General Old Iron)
Guru Adima's First Teaching (celebrating the first teaching of the first known Air Nomad guru, Guru Adima)
Autumn's Equinox
Master's Anointment Ceremony (once a year, all the new master Airbenders are anointed during this very auspicious occasion)
Descension Day (celebrating our ancestors' decent from their Lion Turtles)
The Avatar's Birthday
As you can imagine, with over 200 celebrations, not all Air Nomads celebrated all holidays every year. Rather, it depended on location and circumstance. You could be well into your 50s before experiencing all of them, but these ten were... are the most popular."
//The list was modeled after Important Tibetan Buddhist Holidays in 2023 and includes a mix of headcanon and canonical Air Nomad celebrations.

looking at the red figures on my alarm clock and realising it’s 3:00am yet again, time to deem myself unloveable and cry to phoebe bridgers i guess
become the indie kid who aimlessly drives around town in their parents beaten up subaru whilst playing surf curse with the windows rolled down. passersby will think you’re the main character even though you still can’t book your own dentist appointments without hyperventilating
each morning i apply thick, patchy eyeliner before walking down to the street corner and barking at men to assert my dominance. what a rush.
i don’t think i’m built to be loved passionately and perhaps indulging in romantic fantasies is unwise but here we are, painfully waiting yet again
all gen-z girls know is get groomed on kik, nicotine dependecy, be bicurious, instagram activism, dabble in 100 gecs, eat nothing, and lie (”female manipulator” playlist)
if year eight me had self-awareness it would have been OVER for y'all but alas,,,all i had was drugstore eyeliner, all time low shirts, and ao3

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science
Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?
