Hello, I have just started following your blog and I really admire your work. I always wondered what all the past avatars had looked like since very few made an appearance in the series. Anyway, I just came across your team avatar drawings for when after Korra had died and was reincarnated. I always tried looking up what people's ideas were for the future avatar and your designs for this certain era just stood out to me. Now many people have come up with names for their Earthbender avatar oc, though I don't recall seeing a name for your avatar on this blog and would like to know more about him. He's so interesting and I love how he is accompanied by some type of goblin spirit? The animal familiars that you have made for each avatar are just breathtaking. I think you are a very creative artist and if you don't mind I'd like to know more about the next avatar after Korra if you'd share some information with me. I'm sorry if I bothered you and if someone has already asked you this question, though I am just really interested in your artwork and want to know more about your characters.
Hi thanks so much for your compliment- but WOW that's a long question, but I'll try to answer it anyway- 💕
Truth be told I haven't put that much thought into the single characters- because that's not really what I'm most interested in. But I have some specific concepts in mind that I'd like to see partially addressed by a next avatar series-/ how I would do it with my 5 braincells.
Tumblr media
1. It's not the avatar after Korra, but the one another generation down (Water-> Earth -> FIRE)
Tumblr media
I want to see a world that NEVER found the next avatar and let the next one after figure out what happened to the one b4 them- or even a couple of fake avatars be declared by diffrent nations, since as unbiased as the avatar may be being the nation with the avatar has some advantages especially in a time of political peace trying to enforce soft power onto other nations.
Tumblr media
(Similar to what the Chinese government is trying to do- capturing the penchen lama, so they can declare their own Dalai Lama once Tenzin Gyatso dies :( )
2. The mystery of whether the main character is actually the avatar (did the Earth Avatar actually die already or are they just another fake)
Ideally this would mean that 1- this wouldn't take place too long after korra's death (like 30-40 years) and 2- the mc can't bend any element yet (or just 1 element but that's somehow more boring to me)
They could be running away from the people claiming they're the avatar, trying to find the real one- traveling the world is an important part of avatar and that would be the perfect reason.
Tumblr media
3. Growing independence movements.
I really want to see diffrent cultures within the earth kingdom and fire nation strive for independence now that they don't need the protection of a bigger state anymore and nobody (idealy) wants to look like the big, bad oppressor.
Similar to what happened in europe post ww2
4. The current avatars main mission always seems to be fixing something the previous avatar failed at-
Like how Kuruk fixed Yangchens mistake with neglecting the spirit world,
Kyoshi uuuh not sure- did she fail at anything?
Aang ended the war that Roku failed to prevent,
Korra brought back the air nation after Aang couldn't
And Korra ofc lost the connection with all past their lives.
I actually don't want them to change that- stick with it.
But I want the mc to go on a journey to discover his predecessor in the first season (build the problem for the final season //point 5) and then a treasure hunt of sorts to discover all avatars that were "forgotten"- avatars from cultures like the ones from point 3- tying these points together and discovering the avatars and (more importantly) their peoples identity and how to move forward.
Let them write it all down too, so they won't be forgotten again.
Tumblr media
5. Every avatar story needs a main antagonist, so that's where I put something completely wild but stick with me-
The Earth avatar that was never found was born into an underground kingdom that was founded long ago by powerful earth benders(/or spirits idk make it a legend) that in an effort to shield their people from the dangers of the surface submerged their city, isolating it from the rest of the world for hundreds or thousands of years. Over time they created an elaborate tunnel system- building more and more cities and creating an empire.
Tumblr media
The new avatar would realize who they are at some point and seek to understand this world they supposedly were meant to protect. The avatar would then attempt to befriend the next in line to the throne in order to attempt to convince them to let their empire rejoin the surface world. A suggestion that would eventually end up getting them killed by their friend (you could insert a tragic lesbian couple here ❤)
Tumblr media
So the new mc finds out eventually what happened but not who killed them- keep that part hidden for the final show down.
6. Spirit gaang member
I want them to do something interesting with the joined worlds concept- so give them a spirit that aids in the groups journey- my version is a time based spirit that gave the mc a old fashioned clock that'll help 'unlock' the stories of the past avatars. Could also be a mount. Pls don't let it talk. If they make a comedic relief spirit i might oof myself tho.
Also also. Kill them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7. So that's about it ofc, my only other request is pls bring back proper character development for the side characters. Like mentally bolin and mako stayed the same throughout korra...
Tumblr media
??? Idk storytelling really isn't my strong suit
(Not question related)
FOR FULL DISCLOSURE! I didn't completely draw all of the backgrounds for this ask- for a lot of them I used Photos to bring across what I mean better.
(And also this is an answer for a Tumblr question and I already spent way too much time on this I'm sorry djbdkdbdzk)
All of the images  I used can be found HERE- other apps I used were Prequel, CSP, Paint Tool SAI and Photoscape.
Thank you for reading this far.

hello!!!! i am so excited that ur requests are open ur one of my favorite writers EEEEEE!! i was wondering if i could request a headcabnon for the obey me brothers (and dateables if u wanna do both up to u) reaction to gn mc giving them little sentimental gifts all the time to show them that they love and appreciate them? spontaneous gift giving bc something reminded them of u and u love them? i hope that made sense oml thank u!
Adtgub omg thank you so much 💕
And hoo boy did I feel this! Gift giving is one of my love languages xD
I hope what I came up with is what you wanted 💖
Also, I'm not brave enough to write for the dateables just yet... Maybe someday. But today was sadly not that day 😅
The brothers and MC randomly giving them gifts
Lucifer
The first time you gift him a new coffee mug, he doesn't think too much about it. You probably overheard him talking about needing a new one, since one of his broke, the other day.
Still he very much appreciates it and of course thanks you. After all it saved him the trouble of having to head out and buy one himself.
Though over time he notices that it's not a one time only thing. Usually they're small things. Like a new pen or more of his favorite tea.
Up until one day where you visit him in his study, smiling widely and holding a bag out to him. "I got something for you!"
With a frown, he turns away from the paperwork to give you his full attention. "What's in it?"
"Just open it and see for yourself~"
So he does and what he pulls out is a vinyl, still a little confused. Why would you get him one just like that?
"It just made me think of you, so I had to get it... Do you like it?", you speak up, like you've read his mind.
Immediately his expression softens, a warmth spreading through him. How is it possible for a human to be that sweet? "I do like it. Very much so. How about we listen to it together?"
The way you beam at him and nod enthusiastically definitely makes it worth pushing his work off for a bit.
Mammon
"Oi, MC! I think ya left your ring in my room", Mammon barges into your room without any further announcement, holding the gold band out to you.
Had it been tempting to try and sell it? Yes. But for some reason he always feels extremely guilty when it's about your stuff.
But you only chuckle and shake your head. "I got that for you, actually. You said you lost one of yours, right? I know it's not the same, but I thought you might like that one. The color of the stone reminded me of your eyes..."
All he can do at your explanation is stare at you, then the ring and back at you. Cheeks flushed and he's at a complete loss for words. Eventually he manages to mutter a thanks, the smile you aim at him only making him blush even more.
But you can be sure that he's never taking that ring off.
In fact, he treats every single present you give to him like the most valuable thing he owns. Because to him, they all are.
Every time you show up and hand him something, saying that it reminded you of him or that you remembered him wanting something like that? He's ready to melt into a puddle.
Leviathan
"Levi! I got us friendship bracelets!", you declare as you skip into his room, simply grabbing his hand to tie the bracelet around his wrist. Afterwards you present him the one on your own wrist with a wide smile. "I made them myself~"
His brain completely shuts down. Not only because of you so casually getting that close to him but... The entire thing is just too adorable?
It reminds him of a scene in the anime "I fell in love with my best friend, though I'll never tell them because I don't want to ruin the friendship. But they are actually in love with me, too and we're both simply oblivious idiots."
He turns as red as a tomato and only splutters incoherent sentences, while trying to hide his face as good as possible. "I-I guess it's pretty nice. Coming from a normie and all..."
You just chuckle and press a kiss to his cheek, before you leave the room again. Leaving an extremely flustered Levi behind, who's staring at the bracelet.
Over time he notices that you rather often gift him something randomly. Though it never fails to make his heart race.
Especially when you get him something, no matter how small, and say that it reminded you of him.
Bonus points when you got yourself something similar. For example a key chain from your favorite anime, etc.
He may or may not be bragging to his brothers about having matching stuff with you.
Satan
"I think you forgot your bookmark in one of the books I borrowed you", Satan says, holding the item in question out to you.
But you just shake your head and nudge his hand back. Looking rather amused. "Nope. I left it there on purpose. It's a present for you! I thought it would be cute to make one out of my favorite picture of us."
Did he hear that correctly? You made a bookmark? For him? His cheeks flush as he looks down at it and he can't help but smile.
It's the first time he's getting a sentimental gift like that and it'd be a lie to say that it doesn't make his heart race.
"Thank you. I'll make sure to cherish it." And that he does. He treats it with utmost care and whenever he looks at it, he just can't help but smile.
After that he notices that you either drop things off in his room or just give them to him direct. Saying things like "I noticed you looking at it, the other day" or "You said you wanted something like this, right?" Something that always makes him all soft.
He makes sure to put a curse on everything he got from you, to make sure none of his brothers could potentially mess with them. Because those things are priceless to him.
Asmodeus
You're not the only one who likes to give small (or sometimes even bigger) presents, from time to time.
So on more than one occasion you two ended up giving each other a gift, chuckling about the funny and cute situation.
"Asmo! I got you one of those bath bombs you like so much!", you declare excitedly, while handing him the small bag.
He beams at you and doesn't hesitate to steal a small kiss, while taking the offered bag. "Aw, you shouldn't have, sweetheart! But, I also got something for you~"
You two just enjoy giving each other things that remind you of the other one, always getting all giddy when you see the other one's happy reactions.
Especially the things you made yourself, or the ones that you two have matching, are treasured by Asmo and he won't ever let anyone else touch them.
Though he will boast about it. In front of his brothers and in his Devilgram posts.
Beelzebub
"I have a present for you!"
"Mh? But it's not  my birthday...", Beel says, clearly confused. Even stopping in his tracks of taking another bite of his snack.
"It doesn't have to be your birthday for me to get you something", you chuckle and hand him a box. "Open it~"
He quickly wipes his hands on his shirt, before he takes the box from you. And as soon as he opens it, his expression softens. "Is that...?"
"The one decent group picture we managed to take, the other day. I thought you might like to have it in a nice frame to put it up. I painted the frame myself so it would match the colors of your side of the room.
Before you even have the chance to say more, he already pulls you in for a bear hug, unwilling to let go of you anytime soon. "Thank you so much, MC..."
Whenever you gift him something, no matter how small it might be, he just looks like a happy puppy. Beaming and proudly showing it off.
Or making sure to find the perfect spot in his room, where they'll be safe but he can always see them.
Belphegor
You skip into the attic, where you know he disappeared to for a nap. Though you take no mercy on him, as you flop down next to him. Nudging his side until he grumbles and pouts up at you.
"Don't look at me like that", you snort in amusement. "I got you something ~"
You wiggle the two plushies that you're holding. Though you click your tongue and pull them out of reach when Belphie tries to grab both of them.
Only making him pout more, even causing him to look slightly irritated. "I thought you said they're for me?"
"Not both of them. One is for you, the other one for me. They kinda reminded me of us", you explain with a shrug and finally hand him one of the plushies."I thought it would be cute if you got the MC plushie and I'll keep the Belphie one."
He tries to hide his blush but fails miserably. Unable to keep himself from smiling, as he already hugs the present close.
Afterwards he grabs your wrist to tug you closer, immediately cuddling close. "So it's a you and me thing? Mhm... I like that."
In fact, he loves everything you give him.
And whenever you gift him new pillows or more plushies? He makes sure to keep them in the attic. Far away from his brothers. Beel is the only one allowed to get close to them
Maybe, just maybe, one of the pillows you gave him might even become his new favorite.

Sync, Lara here! Hope all is well!
It’s been a long time, but I’m super thankful for the PS4 tip someone gave me in the comments and hyper thankful that you reblogged it so I could see it ♥️ - dumb me had completely forgotten that the PS4 was compatible with external hard drives.
I still haven’t got to Yakuza yet because a Visual Novel I had been dying to read (Soukou Akki Muramasa) launched its English localization almost a month ago. Fun fact: I was learning Japanese (partially) in order to play Muramasa because I had given up hope that a publisher would ever translate the game… because it’s been almost 12 years since it launched in Japan. I finally finished it this weekend (yay!) but I’ve also been going through some really rough times at work 😭 I must say that some of my coping mechanisms may or may not involve thinking real hard about a couple scenes in Pact while I absentmindedly stare at my webcam during a meeting that could’ve been an e-mail ☠️
Ohhhh, speaking of Yakuza: saw this video earlier today and I thought you’d like it https://www. reddit. com/r/DevilMayCry/comments/prrj23/nishiki_is_motivated/
Anyways, I haven’t visited in some time and I must say I’m loving all the new content here! FF is amazing + I absolutely love seeing other people’s appreciation towards other franchises, even if I don’t know much about them.
PS: I’m sorry for all the “walls of text” I send your way whenever I ask something… I hope I don’t come off as annoying 😅
Lara helloooooooo!! It's good to hear from you again! 💖💖 I've been good all things considered. Got some big changes coming up at work; got new owners taking over soon, and I'm lined up (apparently, but not confirmed) for a supervisor role, which means higher pay, so... FINGERS CROSSED THAT'S A REAL THING. 🤞 I'm glad that lil' comment was helpful to you though! I defs forget external HDDs are a thing for the PS4 too. 🤣
And omg... 12 years on a visual novel, my god. Like I know VNs are a bit of a niche, but 12 whole years is so damn long oml. I hope it was everything you wanted it to be!😤🙏 Really sorry to hear work for you is a bit hectic though, I hope you're given a breather soon. Work stress is no bueno. ALSO MEETINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN EMAILS LJKSDFH I've luckily never had to sit through something like that, but I've heard stories, and my god I can feel the tedium from here.
ALSO THAT VIDEO SDLKHFH I'd deadass never noticed that, but it hurts my heart 🥺🥺 I won't embed or put the link here though, since it technically does contain spoilers for a character arc, so beware of Kiwami 1 spoilers if you do go poking around. 🙏 Nishiki deserved more than what he got, especially after everything we see in Y0 😭
Thank you though. 🥺 I'm doing my best to keep things balanced here (or at least still primarily focused on DMC), but I think since FFXIV is a constant fountain of content by comparison, it's always at the forefront of my mind. Not to mention I've fallen head over heels in love with someone who's a bigger nerd than Vergil is. 😭😭
BUT NO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY NOT ANNOYING. If I do take a bit longer to answer your asks, it's only because I usually only have the time to get to asks after work, and by then I'm usually tired and lazy lksdfhj. I always love hearing from you all. 💖
