kai did not learn how to do makeup from nya, NYA LEARNED HOW TO DO MAKEUP FROM KAI

her liner is always sharp but it always takes her a couple of tries but kai does it without a mirror, liquid liner, one hand, no prayers, while yelling at jay, holding a depressed lloyd in his other arm, one swipe and bam. people are dead. volcanoes erupt. the fsm comes back to life. wu spills his tea. lloyd gets therapy. there are many with power greater than man may ever bear witness to but even their knees will feel a chill that freezes their very souls at the twin blades that sharpens this one man's eyes. eyes that kill and perhaps even he doesn't realise it. kai jiang-smith, master of fire but also master of eyeliner. nya never fails to be grateful for everything her brother has ever done for her, but especially for teaching her how to always. always. have bomb eyeliner.

hello person who engages solely in fanon. your task is to explain this female characters personality to me without bringing up any of the other characters, calling her anything familial, calling her a girlboss, calling her wife material, or saying she's a slut. you have 20 minutes until the saw trap goes off. good luck

so in an attempt to actually use positive thinking, anytime i fuck up and my brain reacts as if ive cause a minor apocalyptic event, i compare my fuck up to the 4 minute fuck up committed by the crew of the uss william d porter.

and only today, as i was having to explain what happened to my mom when i was explaining the whole comparison thing, did i realise that most people dont know about it and ive decided that needs to change because its objectively hilarious.

...which is a weird thing to say about an event that occured on a warship in 1943, specifically november 14th.

see the uss william d porter was a fletcher-class destroyer but you dont need to know what that means, just that she had guns that went bang bang and that she was escorting another ship, the uss iowa, to cairo.

while they were on their way there, they performed some gun trials like testing the anti-aircraft guns or the torpedos. and while they were running a torpedo drill, the crew of the porter managed to fire a live torpedo straight at the iowa which you know, in terms of a list of things to do while escorting a ship, shooting a torpedo at them is not on that list.

especially if the president of the united states is on board.

yeah so fdr was on board and the gun trials were actually his idea, and part of the trials was that they were conducted under radio silence.

and that means the crew of the porter couldnt just call the iowa to be like "move out the way, we accidentally shot a torpedo at you."

but they did have signal lamps and you know, the signalman on board was trained to signal this exact kind of message.

...and uh never mind, the signalman did manage to successfully tell the iowa that a torpedo was coming toward them but wasnt as successful when it came to the direction the torpedo was coming from.

not all hope is lost though because the signalman could still use the signal lamp to correct his previous mistake and-, never mind, he announced that the porter was reversing, which she wasnt.

yeah so at catastrophic mistake number 3, they broke radio silence to warn the iowa and she managed to turn out of the way just in time which meant no one got hurt. and even though the inquiry into the incident led to chief torpedoman (fantastic job title btw) lawton dawson being sentences to hard labour, fdr intervened and waved away his sentence, saying it was all an accident.

but yeah, so thats my new measure for "how much did i really fuck up?" and when i compared accidentally picking up a pencil case without a tag on it in wilko, turns out it was a very minor fuck-up. yes, the cashier had to ask another worker to grab a duplicate so they could scan the barcode, but i didnt nearly kill the president during wartime via accidental friendly fire

Ugh I will always love the concept of Katara using blood bending to revive Zuko after the last agni kai, mostly because it makes no sense to me that Zuko was able to bounce back so easily after being struck by lightning, but also because the way the show treats bloodbending is just odd to me. It was a defense mechanism created by a traumatized victim of some of the most devastating parts of colonization, and although I understand that Hama was supposed to symbolize the "bad parts" of waterbending and was important for Katara's growth in realizing that the world isn't entirely black and white, its still disappointing to me that the show never explored the gray areas of blood bending, especially since that episode was, as I stated above, about understanding the gray areas of the war. Katara using blood bending to revive Zuko would add so much to the last agni kai in demonstrating that she has truly realized that "good" and "evil" are relative concepts, and Zuko being saved by both a defense mechanism of a survivor of colonialism and a type of bending used to terrorize his people would have even added to his arc, as the narrative required him to save and subsequently be saved by the physical embodiment of everything his family sought to annihilate.

Dude I can’t believe that the avatar is bald he’s bald oh my god he’s fucking bald he’s so aerodynamic it’s crazy he’s bald ohhh nooo baaaald

HELP he said "that's my fucking dad."😭💀 (edit: wow this is my most liked post I didn't think yall would like it that much- and I didn't make this, I saw it on tt)

I don't remember this but HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIITT LLOYD WAS CONFIRMED TO BE AT LEAST 9 YEARS OLD HERE AND HE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT??? JESUS FUCK

It literally took me two games to realize she's mimicking him. I need to go sit down

because i’m curious and my family disagrees.

pls reblog for bigger sample size and put in the tags where you’re from!!

I'm doodling them while I watch the series and get inspired in the meantime.

Did I already said Cole?

Okay, and if I said this is one of the coolest action sequnces in Dragons Rising?

I mean, like, the way Kai confidently spins into Rising Dragon and Cinder keeps Trying to fight him, but Kai is Way too quick with it, the way Lloyd has Ras scurrying around on (almost) all-fours, and how Ras blocks all of Lloyd's attacks with his hammer...

then Lloyd energy-spamming, shooting smaller blasts... and Ras smacking Lloyd outta his Spinjitsu...

Like it's a Short moment but at least it's still a moment in the series... like really showing off Dragons Rising getting ambitious with the fight animation again after some of the Far more bland and snoozefest fights of the first season (Ras vs. Sora and Arin, Ninja vs Spirit of the Temple)...

LOOK

to be honest, I actually like this scene so much. Sora and Nya are sleeping leaning on each other very adorably, Kai is exhausted and sleeping, crossing his arms, Lloyd is too bored but doesn't want to sleep so he's dragging his sword on the floor like a child, and Wyldfire and Arin is sleeping with same position and on the dragons. How cute. I mostly love the position between Nya and Sora.

Now waiting until next Dragons Rising episodes come out....

How exactly did the movie ninja meet again?
