major plothole that went unnoticed by FC Yee :/

Kyoshi, being electrocuted to death:

Rangi, at the people electrocuting Kyoshi: *sobbing and pleading for them to stop* Kyoshi, at the people electrocuting her:

Yun being able to bend the tiniest bit of earth, down to the element being ground up into paint, VS Kyoshi literally raising the ocean floor and bending huge pieces of earth, in this essay I wILL-

LEK FUCKING DIED?!?!?!!!!

Made this comic very quickly at work today

Based on this text I sent my friend

why did no one tell me the kyoshi novels are brutal. she was born to an airbender who defected and got snakes tattooed over her arrows. she can only bend huge pieces of earth. her friends are dangerous criminals sworn to protect her and follow her lead. local villagers thought she was a dragon when she used the avatar state. she killed a man by picking him up with air bending and then dropped him from several feet in the air. she mastered a form of bending where you use the elements as steps and basically walk on air. all of this while on the run from the law and being hell bent on a mission of revenge.

Spoilers for the Avatar Kyoshi Novels

The confusing struggle that comes when your past life reminds you of the mother that left you, and the adopted father figure that died for you. Poor Kyoshi.

We know the Beifong family is one of the most powerful families in the Earth Kingdom. But I love how it was more solidified in the Kyoshi novels, reading how much influence a Beifong had in Kyoshi’s era, though for not the best reasons.

I love details like these that expands the Avatar Universe and shows how much times have changed since then. The Beifongs went from looming prominent figures in Kyoshi’s time to becoming friends and companions fighting for 2 of her reincarnations. I think that’s just so cool and beautiful.

I’m LOVING the Kyoshi book references in the new show!! Everyone should read them and appreciate my fav chaotic sapphics

I’m about to send a letter to F.C. Yee about how he did both Lek and Jetsun dirty.

As a writer, I understand and commend the tactic. We are evil beings that must do bad things to characters for the sake of storytelling.

But as a reader, don’t get me attached to a character in less than 3 pages and then just break my heart over and over again.

Something I noticed after reading The Shadow of Kyoshi:

Both Kuruk and Hei-Ran willingly sacrifice their reputation for the greater good—Kuruk to protect Yangchen’s legacy and keep the world and his friends safe, and Hei-Ran to protect her country (among other things).

Rangi being completely calm and hinged during the noodle scene

Me, reading that Yun was a trained assassin at only 17: As he should! That’s very cool and brave of him 💖🤭

bro every avatar’s mental health is an absolute mess, wdym yangchen had schizophrenia. then kuruk had depression and kyoshi some severe childhood traumas. then there’s roku just standing there. then we have aang also traumatized and then korra too. PLS CAN’T ONE OF THEM BE HAPPY??

Spoilers for The Rise of Kyoshi and The Shadow of Kyoshi. They are small, but they're there.

I love how in the first book Kyoshis internal monologue is: oh my God I'm going to die. No, no, no! A great sadness has taken me.

And of course my favorite: There is no path so I'll make a path- OMG I JUST BROKE THROUGH SEVERAL STONE WALLS

And in The Shadow of Kyoshi

Everyone: What have we done to unleash such a malevolent spirit on ourselves?!?!
