I picked up a detail about live-action Azula. I don't know if it's intentional or not but I couldn't help but notice how much makeup she's wearing on comparison to May or Ty Lee and it wrenches my heart.

Is like when you're a little girl and put on makeup to play-pretend you're older, that you're an adult. And in this case, I think it fits Azula's character on the live-action so well since she's so determined to prove to her Father that she's the One.

some of the other portraits i drew for the homies :0)

I don't know if I was desperate for a little silly serotonin boost, if I am too unserious or if people are just straight up haters to everything but like...

I swear the ATLA la is not nowhere as bad as many are making it to be, like, this isn't a carbon copy of the og series, nothing will ever top of ATLA and if you wanted it to be the same just go watch the show again?

I've watched ATLA so many times in my life, it's my comfort show as much as yours. But the live action isn't the cartoon, that I understood right away. And of course it has a lot of flaws (and tbh I blame today's way of media consumption at that, trying to squish complex storylines in the least time possible, and also mainstream media performative activism but that's a war for another day) but as a stand alone thing I thought it was pretty solid? I felt like the essence of the show was brought to justice after the unspeakable movie. It felt familiar, at least to me idk.

I don't think this was for the fans honestly, it's been 19 since the og aired. Many things in the world have changed but many are still the same, I think this series was meant more to catch onto the new generations and public. I'm giving you a personal example but I've always recommended the show to everyone I know and despite all my efforts, there are still A LOT of people who disregard animation as something only for kids and wouldn't see it (boludos pero bue) and guess what? They're seeing the live action, and they love it.

Also the fact that there's a show with a cast of mainly asian and native-american actors at last? sign me tf up.

Overall, even if I didn't like some changes they made I still enjoyed it and mostly I want this series to succeed. Mainly because the ATLA story is always going to be relevant, even if it is fantasy it has the representation about people and feelings we don't often see in things. (like, as a girl from a south american country, seeing stories about fighting colonial and imperialists little shits are always gonna hit close home)

Don't get me wrong, it is completely valid if you didn't like the live action. Criticism is great, we need it a lot actually if there's going to be a S2.

But saying is straight up shit and garbage (even before seeing it) just because it's not a frame to frame copy and then go online complaining making 5839 posts about it? Grow up.

estoy harta de que todo cueste PLATA

girlies, how morally and spiritually wrong is it to wish someone (preferably the president) subscription to life is cancelled? asking for a friend

very korrasami coded if u ask me

along with the political and social turmoil Argentina is right now, in a -I must say almost funny- turn of events, since Javier Milei (a man known for believing climate change is a socialism scam and claiming to have the Forces of Heaven by his side) was elected president two months ago, the government and country have faced:

1. forest fires that burned more than 2000 hectares in the Patagonia.

2. extraordinary heat waves, even for the warmer regions of the country standards.

3. several tornados, floods and strong storms over the coast and centre of the country (sadly, many people were left homeless and some even lost their lives)

4. An unusual plague of mosquitoes in the northeast and east of the country ?? this also added to the Dengue sanitary crisis that is already going on

5. and now, apparently, a locust plague in the north.

I wouldn't be surprised if the water turns blood the next week tbh your "Forces of Heaven" are clearly sending you a message my boy....

I just thought about how Kyoshi suffers the vash the stampede syndrome like people believe they're a walking menace when in reality they have stray puppy energy

*me after going through the most emotional draining experience watching a show because I got too attached to the characters* ooohh that was so cute I love it :)

can we talk about the absolute EXQUISITE artistic direction nothing but thieves took after moral panic? I'm on my knees-

I made the very adult decision of using as much free time as I can in my 20s to watch all the cartoons I didn't as a kid/teenager because I was worried pretending to be a serious adult

it's very healing actually

aang y katara defenderian la educación pública *sigh*

@ God If I ever publish my books/comics and somehow get popular enough to make a screen adaptation please let them be ANIMATED 🙏🏻

I kid you not when I say the atla live action is the only thing that makes me happy these days.

tbh I don't care if it's trash (I have faith it won't 🙏🏻) because I need something to cope with reality and you bet I'll be rewatching the hell out of it.

I gotta stop naming stuff I make up about about my ocs as "headcanon" like @ brain, it doesn't work like that??

me: *focus on character building and design so much that forgets worldbuilding and then has to redo/adjust said characters to this forgotten world*

also me: *focus of worldbuilding so much and then has to redo/adjust said world to the characters*

rinse. repeat.
