(ATLA) Earth Kingdom's northern jungle?

While working on the 'The Deserter' episode (ATLA 116), DiMartino y Konietzko had the idea of an Earth Kingdom town whose architecture had been modified by Fire Nation colonists―hence the contrasting roof style between the temple and its surrounding buildings. Jeong Jeong's camp was located deep within the wilds enclosing the colonial town, close to a shallow pond. For this forest, or jungle, the creators got inspiration from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899), so… is there ivory in this jungle? What's its name? If we translate Heart of Darkness into Chinese we get Hēixīn, which is similar to Hu Xin, one of the earliest Fire Nation conquest during the Hundred Years War. Are this jungle and the colonial town in the Hu Xin provinces? Could be. An isolated tribe lives in the jungle. Little is known about its people, as only the leader―Lin Yee―is named. DiMartino and Konietzko only said they're extremely isolated, having little contact with the outside world and no modern technology. They are masters in lancery and their clothes allow them to camouflage. The clothes appear to be made of dried yellow-green leaves and grass. They go barefoot, and wear bamboo hats called douli (斗笠) in China. If they were of Cambodian inspiration, the hat would be named do'un (ដួន). They have also made rudimentary wooden armor for combat. This tribe remind me of the Xiongnu, a mysterious confederation of nomadic steppe peoples who dominated central Asia for centuries. And since we don't know anything about Lin Yee and his tribe, this is the lore I give them: The Xin people are nomads from the northwest of the Earth Kingdom. They come from the northern steppes of the Taihua Mountains, but the rest of their history is a mystery. Their leader receives the title of Chanyu and for centuries the Earth Monarchs have tried to convert them into a tributary state, but they remain independent. Isolationists and with hardly any technology, they live in the northernmost jungle of the Earth Kingdom, a rainforest covered in wild, majestic and extensive shorelines, wetlands, rocky outcrops and glaciers. Guess this jungle could be inspired by the Chugach forest, which is America's northernmost greenwood. The headcanon name I'd give it would be Xin Wilds, I guess. I really, really love the complex and vast worldbuilding we can discover in 'The Last Airbender', 'The Legend of Korra' and Yee's book. I'll share mor little details and piece of worldbuilding soon!

My girlfriend is obsessed with him (so am I) so here we go

when will people learn that live-action remakes will never be good as their original animated counterparts because the glory of animation is the colour, movement, and fantasy that's just untranslateable to live-action

ATLA SKETCHES 🌻

Just started watching the Netflix ATLA live action (currently on the third ep!) and I especially love the lil hat Iroh got to wear, decided to draw them with the og art designs :]]

Also really loved the scene with the woman who defends Aang by scolding Zuko mid-fight 😭 She’s the realest auntie

I just try to imagine the whole live action as a super high budget ATLA au. My sister does a better job at it though lmao. BUT it is entertaining! The dialogue is so funny sometimes with how odd it sounds, and Aang’s actor is so adorable.

My thoughts are blasting at random so do bear with me. While watching I was telling my sister that it’s a fun live action but as much as I try not to compare it too much to the og show, I just don’t enjoy live actions very much in general. I will admit that “real gritty dark” live actions do tend to attract more people, so if anything I’m glad that at least it will invite people to the wonderful story that is ATLA, and maybe even get them to watch the original :]

Would love to hear your thoughts though because from what I’m seeing its a very defined 50-50 split between people who loved and it people who absolutely despise it 💀

I made this art piece Justice for Kataang, I swear if netflix did some changes i’ll still be very dissapointed, fr tho, it must stay true to the original.

Also sorry if I took a really long break, was fixing my poor mental health, plus im still a student ya know? But im still ok.
