Day 2 of @maileeweek2022, Flowers While the Roses Fall (I’m Watching You) Song: Chelsea, Let’s Go Join the Circus

Do Not Repost My Art

[Image ID: There are two panels in this piece, the canvas is split diagonal. Both images are set inside a red and white circus tent. On the top left panel, Ty Lee sits in a heart shaped trapeze hoop. Behind her is a wooden wall with painted targets on it. All the targets have knives sticking in the bullseye. Ty’s right arm is resting against the wall, her fingers splayed, a knife between every one. Her left arm is looped around the hoop, holding a flower close to her face over another target. A knife has pierced through the flower, landing in the center of the target. Ty smiles and winks at Mai.

In the lower right, Mai holds a knife in each hand. On her left arm behind her, she balances a knife on her middle finger. Her right hand is in front of her, spinning a throwing knife on her pointer finger.

Red roses rain down on them, thrown by the audience at the end of their performance. End ID.]

it is funny though how kids' shows are so so so careful about death, no one's ever killed except MAYYYYBE the big bad, all those random side characters are fine, here have a quick shot of them before we leave just so you know they really did survive that 50-foot drop into a stormy sea,

and meanwhile kids' books nearly all agree that it's not an adventure until it has a body count.

#to be clear I don't mean the heroes killing people #that's frankly a separate question #but bad guys come with collateral damage #even if they're nameless extras who are never described as more than a body in the street #and quite often the friends the hero meets along the way #will not all make it to the end #edit: actually I do also mean the heroes killing people #atla being so so so careful to show random mooks surviving and having the fire nation take prisoners all the time #vs animorphs going 'yeah we kill people. yeah we've got ptsd. what of it'#vs that one vivian vande velde book I read where the protagonist is really really stressed #about creeping up on a mook with a rock to bash him on the head #bc *what if she kills him?* she's just a teenager she doesn't know how brain trauma works she doesn't want to be a killer #to be clear animorphs and this book are on the same page

what if Aang had Paul Atreides style visions of Katara before the iceberg? ☁️

[Image description: Three panels of the Avatar the Last Airbender characters Aang and Katara inspired by a scene in Dune (2021). The first panel is of Katara a young Inuit girl in a blue parka walking along a white snowy hill. The second is a close up shot of Aang a young East/Southeast Asian boy looking into the distance as he sees a vision of Katara. The last panel is Katara looking into the camera.]

#avatar the last airbender #the last airbender #aang #katara #kataang #tlok #the legend of korra #avatar #based off a tweet lol #atla #atla fanart #atla netflix #avatar aang #idk if i should describe aang as east asian or southeast asian since technically his character can either be east or southeast asian #cuz he’s based of tibetan buddhism but also he could be indochinese buddhist?? and his actor’s filipino??? idk man

Katara's Lightning: waterbending technique

Part 2

By a happy coincidence, one firebender who just knows how to redirect lightning joined the Gaang. You have no idea how excited I was when I realized the potential for Zuko and Katara's interaction in this concept.

Two benders of opposing elements turn to each other's elements to master one phenomenon: lightning. She's a waterbender who creates this lightning, and he's a firebender who repels it. One draws these skills from the other's martial art: lightning redirection is based on the concept of waterbending, while lightning is a firebending technique.

This is not just a combination of elements, it's their unification into something whole. Mix water and fire! It would seem impossible, but Katara and Zuko are people who have always gone beyond human capabilities to achieve their goals. If they can't do it, no one can.

Thus, by blurring the boundaries between fire and water, they destroy the illusion of difference between peoples (if you remember, this topic was raised by Guru Pathik in book 2). People of water and fire can work together, help and even complement each other.

After all, in fact, each of them makes up for the lack of the other. Katara can't control the lightning, and Zuko can't create it to further deflect it. They need each other for the balance of power. Like Yin and Yang, like day and night, like the sun and moon. How beautiful it is, I can’t.

I think the whole idea of Katara personifying anger would have continued with Zuko joining the team. When he appeared, she found nothing better than to center her rage on him. He betrayed her, this is justified anger. He's the prince of the nation that started the war, he is responsible for these horrors. He's the son of the one who ordered her mother killed.

However, Zuko did something that no one expected, especially Katara: he allowed her to let go of the anger of her life. He achieved this by redirecting the power of her rage to the real culprit of all Katara's worries - the murderer of her mother. And the reprisal against him gave her inner peace and a solution to a problem that seemed unsolvable.

Her anger was just like lightning, which was eager to strike at least someone, just to throw out the accumulated energy. Righteous, but throwing itself at everyone. Zuko didn't hide it, didn't calm it down, but redirected it to where it was needed, finding the necessary target.

This is another metaphorical aspect of their joint technique. He learned to channel her lightning not just through training, but through interaction and strengthening their personal connection. And the result was that understanding at a glance, which formed the basis of their fighting style. I don't know about you, but I thought this summed up their relationship perfectly.

Thus, from now on, she can rely on Zuko and trust him not only with the emotional burden, but also with their lives in the midst of a storm, both metaphorical and literal. After all, she knows that he will always deflect lightning from innocent...

Remember this moment? Zuko and Katara fight back to back, showing their shared trust in each other and cooperation as warriors. But imagine if, on top of everything else, they trained a joint technique for generating lightning and then directing it. It looks so cool in my head, it’s a pity I’m not an animator and/or storyboard artist, I don’t know how to stage scenes (((

And then, when lightning seemingly brought Zuko and Katara together, it ended up nearly tearing them apart, taking his life.

Because Zuko will always deflect lightning from Katara…

Thinking about how popular Mai would've been if she were a boy. Like, can you imagine?people would've swooned over her like they swoon over, idk, Jet—it just occured to me that I like her because she's so unconventional for a female character.

Girls like Mai exist in real world—but women are rarely allowed to be complex and three dimensional and grey in fiction.

I would argue that Mai is a grey character; she did start out as Azula's lackey. And well, that's a fictional girl; I found her apathy stan-worthy.

I love that she constantly has a bitch face. She cracks dry/dark jokes. Wears black. Is mysterious and stoic. Does everything she can to disregard authority/even though she's not confrontational about it. (There's one difference. Bad boys are usually very confrontational).

All these characteristics exist in popular male characters. (Except for one thing that I've noticed: most of these “bad boy” characters are volatile and yet, are described as broody/stoic, like, dude. That ain't stoic, that's so emotional.)

So yeah. Coming back to Mai. Imagine if she were a boy.

A boy who's apathetic and has no passion for anything. A boy who's constantly bored/a thrill-seeker/has nothing he cares about. A boy who has a shutter for a face and rarely expresses himself, is amazing with knives and hand-to-hand combat and is gloomy.

There's nothing he cares about because caring gets people hurt and everyone wants something and is two-faced so it's safe to be a mask of indifference. Until—hold on—until he meets a passionate, hot-headed girl who's ✨ different ✨and if not anything, wears her heart on her sleeve/is an open book...

Yes, I'm talking about Zuko.

...and oh, oh, would you look at that? Now he has something to fight for!

I mean, for Mai, Zuko (after Ty Lee) is the only other person in front of whom she can be herself.

Reminds me of “he's only nice to her” trope. Sorry.

“You're so beautiful when you hate the world.”

“I don't hate you.”

Just imagine Mai as a boy. People would eat it up. They don't like her 'cause she's a girl.

Hi, love your art. Can you please draw Azula in a kunoich outfit?

Here you go (if that isn't what you meant feel free to send me a link or a picture)

I added a "red spirit" mask as an idea from @chiptrillino and our friend Rose

[ID: a digital painting of Azula in a fighting stance dressed as a ninja. she is wearing all black with red details. She has a red version o "blue spirit" mask at her side. End Id]

Day 3 of @maileeweek2022, Hair

Girls just wanna play with each other’s hair, gossip, and secretly crush on their best friend. Song: could this be love?

Do Not Repost My Art

[Image ID: In the foreground of this piece there is a close up of Mai’s fingers holding Ty’s hair and the back of Ty Lee’s head. The majority of the image is a reflection from a mirrored closet door revealing what is behind the foreground. Leaning against the mirror is a brown and purple backpack with a lesbian flag pin, a smiley face pin, a heart pin, and a scorpion keychain. There’s wood floors and a maroon circular carpet. On top of the carpet is milk tea with boba and a blue straw and an assortment of hair accessories. On the bed, behind them, is a purple blanket under a yellow blanket and pillows. On top of the blankets is a pink and maroon dragon plush with heart eyes. On the wall behind the bed is a drawing of Mai and Ty Lee, A Kyoshi Warriors poster, and a letter on black paper from Zuko to Mai. There is a window with sheer purple curtains to the right of the posters. The window has a skull and crossbones sticker on the bottom left pane.

Mai and Ty Lee sit on the floor of Mai’s bedroom. Mai is sitting on her knees behind Ty Lee and leaning over Ty’s left shoulder. She holds one piece of Ty Lee’s hair between her fingers and her other arm is thrown up in the air holding a hair straightener. She is looking at Ty Lee adoringly.

Ty Lee sits in front of Mai with her legs crossed. She is looking to the right and biting her lip mischievously. One hand is playing with a strand of her hair and the other is held to the side of her body bent at the wrist.

The dialogue reads Mai “She said what to you?!” Ty Lee “I know! Rude much? It’s fine, she tripped after and spilled her iced coffee everywhere.” Mai “...How’d she trip?” Ty Lee “Don’t worry about it <3 End ID.]

Had an idea that was like. Well what if instead of crows glados had 3 baby porygons?? They’re kind of like birds. Kind of. Anyways all you need to know is that she loves them very much

#portal #portal 2 #glados #pokemon #porygon #they’re so cute…digital duckies #you can apparently breed porygon (with a ditto) despite them being genderless which is an oddity for these games #i had more that was going go go with this image but like ??? i don’t feel like spending more time on the idea even if it is cute #so I’ll just describe them to you:#basically atlas and p-body were sent to go find chell out on the surface #the reason being….glados cannot figure out how to hatch these eggs she’s like wtf i tried a heat lamp and everything what’s WRONG with them #chell who somehow has knowledge of pokemon says usually they’re huddled between other monsters to hatch #so she gets assigned the sitting-on-eggs job. because body heat lol #glados is super confused when they hatch she has never seen them before in her life. and her internal database has no informat #chell whips out a pokedex that tells them what a porygon is (how she got one i have no idea)#glados is thrilled about her new babies because they’re even deadlier and more dangerous than a regular burd #also yes the two of them end up taking care of the hatchlings together #also the blue one is named mr. chubbygon (:#2023 #digital
