Huh I don’t remember this happening in avatar

okay i think i've got it. instead of running from his role, aang feels like he's failing at his role. no decision he makes is the right decision. the decision to take a break on appa meant that he wasn't there to help the air nomads. the decision to research on kyoshi island brought the fire nation there. the decision to be close to his friends got them stuck in the spirit world. he looks at the ruins of the northern water tribe and says "i did this." everything he does feels like a failure bc of the first failure. so aang has to let go of his past failures so he can start succeeding in the future. his journey isn't learning how to stand his ground, it's how to let go.

it’s established that tsaheylu allows the participants to share physical sensations, so do you think that if Jake and Neytiri bonded while she was pregnant he’d be able to feel the baby move like she does?

I‘m not saying I’m jealous but Ri’nela better sleep with one eye open🧍🏻‍♀️

I watched avatar 2

.

.

So none of y’all were gonna warn me how hot quaritch is?

guys i gotta be honest whenever people call the live action avatar “darker “more serious” and “less childish” then the original show i just think of this meme

they were kinda cooking with mammon in lesson 23

losers meetup

honestly, in game? i would've been down to staying with the kame'tire. they seem nice, okul is a fun person and i love anufi in personality and design. the one problem is that etuwa, daughter of asahe, tsahik of the aranahe, is SO beautiful

hot take about adult Toph in legend of korra?

I don’t think her becoming a cop was a bad writing decision. Now put your pitchforks down, I do not like irl cops at all. I just think Toph becoming a cop is a good writing decision if you look at it in the right direction.

yes Toph is rule-breaking little shit gremlin who likes to cause trouble so at the surface her being a cop makes no sense. But walk with me here and consider the fact that that rule-breaking Toph we knew in ATLA was Toph when she was twelve. The Toph we see in lok being a cop is clearly an adult, I don’t think they ever specified how old she was but I’m guessing around 20-30 years old. People and the way they think and act are going to change from when they were a preteen to being an adult. So her developing from being a preteen who hates authority to becoming the authority as an adult does at least make sense when you look at it that way.

not only that, but Toph is clearly the type of character who loves to beat up a bad guys. That isn’t a bad thing that’s just…who she is. So when she gets older and is able to get more authority to beat up bad guys of course she would take it.

there’s also the possibility that when creating the police force Toph was most likely a young adult, Toph could’ve easily just been unaware of how much of a bad idea she was making. Like Toph could’ve naively thought that her creating a police force would help people instead of becoming corrupt. There’s also just the irony where characters end up becoming the things they hate in order to reach their respectable goals. So there’s that. Also like, I’m pretty sure Toph ended up retiring and basically becoming a hermit so there’s that lol. Not really important to this but I just wanna mention it cause it think it’s fun lol.

like again, I don’t like cops irl. Please do not misconstrue this as me defending cops, they deserve every bit of disdain they get. It’s just that imo in the writing sense, I don’t think Toph becoming a cop is totally ooc. Morally? Pretty bad. Writing wise? A little complicated.

there’s also a conversation that could be made about how at some point we kinda gotta start separating the way certain things work in fiction vs the way said things work irl from each other and that when said things show up in fiction it can but will not always be some sort of mirror of reality but I don’t feel scholarly enough to get into that conversation lmao.

Katara: Can’t blame you for being paranoid. After all we’ve been through.

Zuko: Yeah. You know, I just wanna make sure everyone’s safe.

Aang: Same. And that includes you four too.

Ty Lee: What?

Toph: Yeah. Gonna make sure you’re safe too.

Sokka: You’re family now.

Azula: Oh.

[ The Gaang hugs Zuko, Azula, Mai and Ty Lee. ]

it's amazing how tulin has developed the ability to control the winds at such a young age, no doubt his admiration for revali playing a role in that. my only hope is that this was something that he learned himself through years of practice, just like revali, instead of it being the innate ability he's always had by being a descendant of the sage of wind. idk, i just like the thought of him working for it

HES SO HOT GOOD LORD

I swear 2024 can’t come soon enough I need him right nowwwww 😩😩

so I just watched the new avatar, I actually enjoyed it alot. didn't really dig the " Fathers role is to protect, its what gives him purpose thing", because it's not mutually exclusive to fathers. Neytiri would very well agree that it's a parents job to protect.

anyways, Payakan my beloved, best tulkun thing , best friend. I love them to bits and is the only whale I'm not scared of ( I fear whales, they are too big).

Just remember Aang dies relativity young and now I’m sad
