Aang: I recall yes
Sokka: can I have it
Aang: …what?
Sokka: can I have his firebending. just for like ten minutes
Aang: what no
Sokka: why not I wanna prank zuko

Aang: okay five minutes
The urge to draw crossover content………. It’s all consuming,…….
Introducing the next character I felt actually motivated to finish…… the leader of Bloodclan himself - Redsun!!!!!!!! (Amon/Noatak)
Ougghhhh god you guys don’t understand how much I love this thing… I think I arguably landed on the most fun design ever to draw in the form of any kitty ever GIFIFOCX
Also please ignore the whatever the hell building things in the background I just needed something idk what anything is
Hawkstar design for yall
Please ignore the biology of him being a calico and colourpoint and having kids all at the same time
Also I think this is unironically my favorite Warriors design I’ve like ever done he’s so silly and snarky looking I would let him burn my nation to the ground :3
It’s funny watching Nickelodeon try and promote Korrasami now when they were the ones trying to kill it
Just stared watching She-ra and this is all I can think about
The time has come
Zuko × fem!reader

I don't really know how to do this. - I say to Katara and Suki during my wedding party. - I've seen it in some books and it seems too painful to bear.
Katara and Suki look at each other, with a strange expression.
Look… You don't need to be afraid. - Katara says. I believe she must know, since she married Aang 4 months ago and Suki married Sokka 2 months ago.
It does hurt! - Suki says and leaves me confused about what to think.
Wait… Does it hurt or not?
Look, it depends on how it's going to be.
I raise an eyebrow at Suki.
I don't understand. How should I be? Because according to what I saw in the books, he's literally going to enter me. How could it not hurt? It's basically a stab, but…
Look, it's not like that, the first time it might hurt more because you're scared. - Katara doesn't let me finish speaking and interrupts me, surprising me. - But it'll be fine later, I swear.
Okay. But can you give me some tips?
Just stay calm, Zuko will do the rest. The boys are talking. It's probably about that. - I look at the people looking for them and I find them. And Zuko is incredibly red. - But after you get used to it, squeeze and lick the tip. They like it. - Suki says and Katara agrees with a nod.
Squeeze what? Lick the tip of what?
Trust me. We know what we're talking about. - They finish talking and look behind me. - Your moment has come, Lady of Fire. - And they leave.
I take a deep breath and look back, knowing who I'm going to find and what I'm going to do. I'm face to face with Zuko, smiling and still a little red.
Hi. Let's go? - He says, giving me his right arm so I can give him my left.
Hi. Let's go - I say with my voice trembling because of what's going to happen now and I give him my spleen.
So a lot of people are rightfully unhappy about the possibility that Katara will be aged up in the new Netflix version of The Last Airbender. That has a lot of issues and I’m glad people are talking about it.
But truthfully, I’ve always had some issues with how Katara’s relationship with Aang was handled. Generally, ATLA did very well with its female characters and gave us a lot of strong girls and women to admire, but it still had its flaws.
Specifically, the thing that bothered me the most when I first saw it as a child was the scene in Day of Black Sun where Aang kisses Katara without warning and without permission. That always made me uncomfortable.
There’s also the way the writers handled the development of their relationship. Throughout the series, it is made very obvious that Aang has a major crush on Katara. But while Katara cares deeply for Aang, she is pretty much never shown to have romantic interest in him - except for that time that the fortuneteller tells Katara that she will marry a powerful bender and Katara is reminded that Aang is a powerful bender, plus that time they dance together in the Headband. But honestly, neither of those carries a lot of weight, in my opinion, especially compared with other scenes. Katara explicitly has a pretty negative reaction to the idea of a relationship with Aang in the Ember Island Players episode - where, again, Aang kisses her without permission, right after she said she was confused. Again, she reacts negatively to the kiss, and to Aang’s pushiness regarding a relationship. It’s kind of hard to see how they could move from this point to a full blown romantic relationship over the next few episodes. (Honestly, I hate that scene for Aang. It’s a pretty negative characterization for him. This scene made me uncomfortable as a kid as well. Actually, I might have hated this scene more than the Day of Black Sun scene.)
Anyway, for most of the series, Katara acts more like an older sister or mother-figure to Aang. And then at the end of the series, Aang defeats the Firelord and suddenly Katara is all in for a relationship? I remember the first time I saw it, it seemed sudden within the context of the story. Outside of the context of the story, it pretty much looks like Katara was treated as a reward for Aang - the hero saves the day, gets the girl trope. I don’t think I need to explain why that’s bad. It was also weak within the story’s plot, because it’s not well-supported by Katara’s character arc.
So the two main problems with the Katara/Aang relationship, in my view, are these: one, Aang’s treatment of Katara within the story; and two, the writers’ treatment of Katara from outside the story.
(Plus, a 12/13 year old dating a 14/15 year old comes off kinda weird to me. A couple years difference matters at that age.)
This is honestly my biggest criticism of the series. It was still a great show, and I loved it, but as iconic as it was, it wasn’t perfect.
I feel like this should say “Leaf me alone,’ instead of ‘Leave me alone,’.
everytime zuko goes out he leaves iroh a note that says “gone insane, back later”
AND NOW THE U.S. HAS IT THANK YOU
OKAY so last week I saw Avatar the Last Airbender was on Netflix! And I was so excited, I was like finally!! I supposed they finally put it on Netflix as like promotion or something because of the new live action Avatar that Netflix is planning?
But then
I tried to continue watching it yesterday
And
it wasn’t available
?????
Then I realized.
I was in Canada for spring break last week.
ATLA isn’t on Netflix in the States!! Canada has it. We don’t and I feel so cheated just so you know

I will forever be mad that Hugh Jackman is not portraying Admiral Zhao in the Avatar: the last airbender.
They looked over from the cliff, hand in hand, into the void. The presence of each other, the burning warmth of their hands and the intensity of their love was enough to null the feeling of loss, of loneliness and above all, the crushing hopelessness and suffocating fear. Here they were safe, they were determined and most importantly they were ready. And they were ready together. They did not possess the knowledge if their friendship would last more than one lifetime, but for now they would make it last forever, as long their flame burns and they draw their breaths, as long as their eyes glitter with determination. They will last. All was not alright, but it will be, and they'll be there together. They were enough.

KELSANG:
I’ve got cheeks like ripe round fruit
They shake like boughs in the storm
I blush bright red when I see a bed
And leap at the sound of a horn
LEE:
I’ve got a nose like a dove-tailed deer
I run like a leaf on the wind
My arms are slight and my waist is tight
And I don’t have a thought for my kin
KYOSHI:
I’ve got two knives that are cast in bronze
They pierce all the way to the soul
They draw you in with the promise of sin
Like the moth to the flame to the coal
I’ve got hair like the starless night
It sticks to my lips when I smile
I’ll wind it with yours and we’ll drift off course
In a ship touching hearts all the while
For the way I walk is a lantern lit
That leads you into the night
I’ll hold you close and love you the most
Until our end is in sight
Excuse the quality!!! But I just really wanted to get this down quickly before I forgot it.
This is the shanty that Kyoshi and co. sing in the kitchen in the chapter Honest Work, and the rhythm of the poem was so clear that I couldn’t get it out of my head! So I ended up writing some music for it. So please enjoy!
PS: F.C. Yee did a wonderful job with this book and everyone should read it!

If you could be any kind of bender what would you be?

"Who would have thought, after all these years, I'd return to the scene of my greatest military disgrace..."
Honestly I think my general opinions over the ATLA netflix show can be summed up as "In an attempt to make the show appeal more to older audiences they made it much more violent, dark, serious and gritty instead of actually making it more mature."
They removed a lot of the humour and charm and doubled down on the darker parts of the story, which imo just made it incredibly dull and boring.
