I’m kind of worried that the cast doesn’t support Zutara and what that means for a Zutara endgame…
Kiawentiio liked this post with the caption: “A great day for K@t@@ng stans.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CZUzdNYP-82/?igsh=MXdrbzlkeWF4Yzdndg== she was tagged in other posts from the account but she didn’t like those, only the one with the K@t@@ng caption.
Gordon liked a bunch of K@t@@ng fanart and videos.
Dallas went live with Ian and titled it as “Zukka #1.”
Obviously this doesn’t rule out Zutara happening at the end but I’m concerned that the cast isn’t openly supporting it behind the scenes… and the fact that Gordon is just openly allowed to like K@t@@ng content from his PUBLIC Instagram account.
Also Kiawentiio isn’t following back Jet’s actor so what does it mean? Does this mean Jet and Katara aren’t going to be romantic? So many questions!
Hey! So sorry for the long wait, we actually addressed this on the podcast! Around the 37 minute mark.

Sokka is captured aboard Zuko's ship. At some point during Tea & Interrogation with Iroh and Zuko, he lets slip that he's the son of Chief Hakoda.
“Chief Hakoda?” the Prince of the Kill It With Fire Nation repeats, like his brain is as stupid as his face. Or like he just realized he’s taken a high-value hostage, redeemable for one (1) ransom against an enemy leader.
“Did I say Chief Hakoda?” Sokka laughs, nervously. “I meant, ah—”
“Shut up, peasant,” the prince shouts. And then sort of… chokes on his own words, getting redder and redder.
---
“Perhaps a break, Prince Zuko?” says Uncle, like this is… like this is the tea-time social he’s set the table for. 
Zuko is in the hallway with the door slammed behind him before he can think. Thinking. Thinking is a thing he needs to do, and Uncle’s proverbs only ever leave his thoughts feeling twisted around, and—
And that is not a peasant that sacrificed himself, to give the Avatar a chance to flee. That’s a fellow prince, or whatever the Water Tribe would call him.
---
“So,” Sokka says, spinning the teacup between his cuffed hands contemplatively. “How much poison would you say is in here? And what kind?”
The old man is sputtering indignantly, but Sokka is very seriously considering taking his first sip. If it’s laced with something to loosen his tongue, well, can’t get much worse there. It’s not like he knows where his dad is. Or anything useful. Certainly not more useful than handing the Fire Nation the son of their fleet’s leader. And if it’s something deadly, well...
He doesn’t know what his dad would do or give to get him back. But it wouldn’t be good, for the war or the world or their tribe.
He figured he’d die, when he’d shouted at Katara to go, take him and go. He hadn’t realized how much worse this could get. Was getting. Because the son and heir of Fire Lord Burn Them All was out in the hallway, thinking. 
---
Zuko thinks. About what his own father would do, if he were to receive a ransom letter. The disappointment. The… repercussions. 
---
“You’re what?” Sokka asks. 
“I am releasing you,” His Shoutiness repeats, through clenched and grinding teeth.
“Huh,” Sokka says, and takes another sip from his cup, because oh, this is hallucinogenic tea. Good stuff. “Care to explain that?”
---
No, Zuko wants to shout. But this is the fellow son of a world leader. Zuko hasn’t had many friends, and he’s not looking to add the Water Prince to that atrophied number, but. 
But he could understand.
“You stood and fought when you could not win, for a cause you believed in,” Zuko says, and he doesn’t know why Uncle suddenly looks so pained. “I will not demand trinkets from your father for your return. If he hears of this, it will not be from me. You will be released at the nearest neutral port.”
---
Like an undersized fish, Sokka does not say. 
“That is… very honorable of you,” Sokka says, and doesn’t know why the prince looks like he’s been gutted.

haiiiiii tell me some of your jetko headcanons
hm. Both of them would get kidney stones. this is a very realistic and reasonable assumption to me I dont think either of them hydrate nearly enough. I think it would explain a lot about them and how they act also. If someone told me Zuko had a kidney stone the entire show I would believe them. I hope this gives you new insight as to who they are as characters.

I heard somewhere awhile ago that the LoK writers had no idea if they’d get another season after each season, so that’s why in the show every season gets their stuff wrapped up by the season finale to avoid cliffhangers in case they couldn’t get the show renewed
So I was thinking about that, and my ideal version of LoK if they had been able to have more overarching stuff because I really fucking love the waterbender brothers:
Starts off the same with Amon and the Equalizers, but they aren’t gone by the end of season 1, instead they’re a constant background threat
Season 2 also has the same villain it had, except, Tarrlok is still alive and instead of just getting a sad backstory for him to make him a sympathetic antagonist, he gets to work with Korra against her shitty fucking uncle, and we get to see him react to another waterbender being a corrupt piece of shit and actually see how he tries to be good and different from his dad in his own way
I think this would be fun as I like Tarrlok as a character, I think he’d fucking hate Unalaq and I’d love to see him take out his father issues on the guy, and Korra would have to deal with the fact that she can’t trust her uncle who she’s supposed to be able to trust but apparently she can trust the sleazy councilman who by all rights is untrustworthy??
Season 3/4 also has Kuvira, except for these parts, it’s Amon who’s the unlikely ally Korra occasionally ends up teaming up with, cause there’s no way that nonbenders didn’t end up getting really screwed over under Kuvira’s reign, this would give Amon his chance to show that he’s also trying to be better than his father in his own fucked up way, and again it’d have that delightful thing of Korra ending up teaming up with someone she never would’ve thought she would
Throughout all seasons, we’d see laws and stuff being put in place to help nonbenders, and also I think it’d be cool if throughout all seasons it’s kind of hard to fully tell if Asami is actually trustworthy or not because the entire time she’s being a double agent for Team Avatar
Also I think it’d be cool if the show ended up with Korra facing off against Amon, who wanted to stop the Avatar cycle, as the first Avatar of the new cycle (I’m a firm believer in that theory that she was always meant to become the first avatar of the new cycle, there was only one more space for Aang’s statue in that temple!!), showing him how futile and stupid his stance of getting rid of the Avatar was

dndads avatar au thoughts
Beary: Earthbender Autumn: Firebender Henry: Firebender (so steeped in denial. s1 is him crawling out of the denial mud he's neck deep in) Mercedes: Waterbender Sparrow: Firebender Lark: Waterbender (no this does not stop the twins from impersonating each other. they are VERY good at it) Rebecca: Waterbender (uses it to make ice cream!) Hero: Firebender (prodigy; non-practicing; secretly the Avatar) Normal: Waterbender (kinda garbage at martial or artistic techniques, much more adept at spiritual/healing elements but doesn't have a teacher)
Willy: Waterbender (Bloodbender, obvs. Can pull freaky stuff with spirits) Ron: Waterbender (nonpracticing) Samantha: Earthbender (nonpracticing) Terry Jr.: Earthbender Veronica: Nonbender Scary: Her biodad is a (bad) firebender, but she's ever been able to do it, no matter how hard she tries. That is, until she met Willy. (she could Earthbend, like her monther's mother, if she tried.)
Darryl: Nonbender Carol: Earthbender Grant: Earthbender (pretends to be non-practicing) Marco: Nonbender Link: Nonbender? (might actually be an earthbender? it's strangely unclear)
(now idea how TF this family works in an au, but) Bill: Airbender (used for weed smoking) Glenn: Airbender (can make his voice carry so far) Jodie: Earthbender Morgan: Firebender Nick: Firebender Cassandra: Nonbender, air heritage Taylor: Airbender (he hopes he's the avatar, but he really just moves other elements around with wind)
The Likelies are all Spirits, including Hermie

can I have more avatar ursa au?
Continued from: [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], [Link], and [Link].
1. There wasn't a day that went by that Ursa didn't miss her children, that she didn't long to have them with her, that she didn't feel their absense, and Ozai's control over them like a knife blow. So why is it so hard to have them with her? If she thought the time on the water, as she sailed back to the North Pole, would be a time of healing and reconnecting, both her children soon disabuse her of this notion. At first it's just Azula, full of fury and fear, and full of accusations that her mother stole her away from the only parent who really loved her (and doesn't that make Ursa, who loves her daughter so much, want to scream) and in doing so, stole the throne away from her. But now it's Zuko too, pushing and pushing, and pushing, like he's trying to get her to snap.
2. Of course that's exactly what Zuko is doing, and if Ursa had any space to breathe and think, she would figure it out pretry quick. He's spent so long dancing to his father's tune, trying sho hard to be his father's perfect son, so that he doesn't disappoint him, like he always, always does, that all he can think to do is try to push his mother until ahe pushes back, just so she will punish him, and he will get it out of the way and know what the worst is. and the more he pushes and she doesn't punish, the more anxious he gets, until he's wound so tight the thinks he will be the one to snap.
3. And this is how they sail into the harbor at the North Pole, Ursa and her children, and all of the anger, fear, and resentment traveling with them. Kanna, Kya, and Kya's children aren't waiting for them. How could they? They had no way of knowing when she would be back. But a messanger sends for them as soon as Ursa steps off the boat, each of her children's hands clasped in her own. Zuko spends the entire journey to the palace and the suite of guest rooms Ursa has called her own (and Kya's, and Kanna's, and Sokka and Katara's) practically babbling with nerves. Is she really the Avatar? Has she really been learning to waterbend? But Father will want her dead, he will have her killed, he will want to know why Zuko didn't try to kill her, he will... But Azula is silent the whole way. She doesn't even snap back at ther brother or tell him to shut up. And Ursa knows her daughter well enough to know that's not good, to know she's planning something.
4. But none of them ever get to know what Azula is planning, because when Kya sees Ursa, she runs up to her, throws her arms around her, and kisses her, with joy, relief, and love. And Azula explodes. How dare they? They are disgusting, unnatural, this is because her mother is the Avatar and a demon in human form, and this is why she could never love their father, and he was right all along, she is sick, and evil, and... And this is how Kya, and Kanna, and Sokka and Katara all meet Ursa's children.
5. And Ursa needs to tell her it's not true, and she doesn't get to speak to people that way, And somehow she needs to make her understand that no, the reason she couldn't ever love Ozai was because he was the one who was evil. It was because of the way he treated her, right from the start, and worse, the way he treated Zuko and Azula. And she knows, she has to believe, that someday Ozai's words will dry up, that Azula will run out of them and have to start using her own. But right now, she is so, so tired.

wait rohans a waterbender? since when?????
Since I made it up? I dunno, I like the idea. I doubt they'll go that direction in canon (unless they HIRE ME to make some damn COMICS)
Rohan being an airbender is boring to me. It's totally expected, practically makes the kid a non-entity. It's much more interesting to make him something else and explore what that means for the family dynamic. That (likely) means non-bender or waterbender, though earthbender is a possibility since Pema's from the Earth Kingdom. I'm just going to assume that Katara wasn't bullshitting when she touched Pema's preggo belly in the very first episode and said the baby would be a bender. She just got the element wrong. It was a safe bet!
First off, it'd raise some questions about how bending is passed down. Based on what we've seen in canon, it's easy to assume that a bender only passes down their own element to their offspring, with it either manifesting or staying dormant, possibly for multiple generations. But what if it's more complicated than that? Tenzin may style himself as Mr. #1 Air Nomad, but his mother's element and culture are part of him, too, right? With the different nations intermarrying more than ever before, it creates the potential for any type of bending to pop up in any part of the world, which has many fun worldbuilding implications. It'd also make a lot of sense, considering how the new airbenders pop up the way they do. They may all have had airbenders somewhere in their ancestry, with that potential lying dormant for centuries or even millennia until it was finally activated by Harmonic Convergence. I know this isn't a groundbreaking fan theory, but whatever.
Anyway, back to Rohan.
The discovery that Rohan's a waterbender would be a surprise, maybe even a shock, and it'd give the Kataang clan a new point of conflict and introspection, particularly for Tenzin. He'd have to grapple with his kneejerk reaction being denial, followed by disappointment. Then comes the doubt...
Why does he suddenly feel more distant from Rohan? He reviews his own interactions with the boy, both before and after the discovery. Does he treat him differently now? Should he? Of course he doesn't love his son any less, but it changes their relationship, or seems like it must. Is it fair to bring him up like an Air Nomad, the way his siblings were raised? Would it be better to introduce him to more Water Tribe traditions? He realizes how little he valued his mother's culture compared to his father's. It's not that he doesn't care, but...
Is this how Aang felt about Bumi and Kya, before he was born? How did he come to terms with that? Did he feel this same ache? And knowing now how alienated Bumi and Kya felt from their Air Nomad heritage for so long, how can he stop himself from making the same mistakes? What does this mean for the future of his people? Can Rohan be an Air Nomad but not a member of the Air Nation? Is such a thing possible?
He sees himself reflected in his son's innocent, trusting eyes, his own expression one of confusion and fear. He's lost again. Nothing in his readings of Air Nomad wisdom or his memories of Aang tell him what he should do, and he's too ashamed to admit his conflicted feelings.
Finally, Tenzin's head explodes.
Plus, hey, it's a great excuse to bring Auntie Kya around for lots of fun waterbending lessons! Both she and Bumi get to say "toldja so" to Tenzin once he admits his struggle over his relationship with Rohan and what that made him finally truly understand about their childhoods, about what it meant for all three of them to be children of the last airbender.
Meanwhile, Rohan's just being this precocious kid—a lot like his sister Jinora—inventing whole new ways of bending water like it's no big deal, and all the adults are too tied up in knots to even notice. His siblings notice, though, and help him figure himself out. He's a true Cloudbaby, a perfect cinnamon roll.
In the end, they do work it all out, and the whole family is closer than ever before... until Meelo announces he's joining the United Forces and all hell breaks loose.

Hello. 😊
I was watching Avatar the last airbander and suddenly my mind just went " I HAVE AN IDEA!"
What about avatar x assassin's creed?
Desmond and his ancentors pretty please😅
My initial thought was “What benders would Desmond and his ancestor be?” and then brain went “Hey, you know that the Bleeding Effect is a lot like the Avatar’s ability to connect with past Avatars and the Avatar State, right?” and making them the consecutive Avatars seemed to be the logical conclusion. XD
So this would mean that Desmond is the next in the line of Avatars and the past Avatars were Altaïr, Ezio, and Ratonhnhaké:ton. We'll make the timeline a suggestion so they could all be consecutive Avatars and have Edward in that list too.
This does mean that they would have to have different elements and if we wish to keep the Avatar cycle from canon (air → water → earth → fire) with Edward being our ‘Water Avatar’, we’d be forced to put the characters as such:
Altaïr (Fire)
Ezio (Air)
Edward (Water)
Ratonhnhaké:ton (Earth)
Desmond (Fire)
Which… honestly? Kinda works?
The Fire Nation being more of a military juggernaut (especially during Last Airbender’s setting) works for Altaïr who was raised in Masyaf (which has a lot of private military vibe to it) and Desmond (who can be argued to have run away from involuntary Boot Camp). And really, if any Assassin can unlock Lightningbending, it would be Altaïr. Firebending has also been given a bad rep with the whole ‘it’s fueled by anger and hate’ but Iroh did tell Zuko that Firebending is a power controlled by the desire to accomplish one’s goals which fits Altaïr and his mastery over the Apple quite a bit. Also, also, firebending is connected to the sun so it would be ironic for Desmond to be a Firebender. (And because Desmond is our special boi, he can get Energybending too in the end… as a treat…)
Ezio being an Airbender sorta suits him? Airbenders are known for their love for freedom and trying to find peace which is technically what Ezio wished for once he let go of his thirst for vengeance, especially in Revelations where he’s trying to find meaning to his life (and if all these sacrifices meant anything at all in the grand scheme of things) which is more or less the Assassins’ equivalent to a spiritual journey.
I wanted Ratonhnhaké:ton to be an Earthbender anyway so this works well because Earthbenders are usually seen as resilient and enduring which fits Ratonhnhaké:ton more than the usual ‘meme’ of him being an angry “Where’s Lee!?” dude. Also... Ratonhnhaké:ton metalbending? God, yes!
But you know what would be such a fun AU idea?
If they’re Pro-Benders.
Like Altaïr, Ezio and Ratonhnhaké:ton are members of one of the most popular Pro-Bender teams.
While Desmond is some unknown dude who had just got to Republic City and was looking for a job. By a stroke of weird luck, he gets a job as maybe a PA or an assistant to the manager in charge of the guys’ team (maybe their manager is Edward who is a retired pro-bender). And Desmond isn’t a bender…
Or at least, that’s what they all believe.
And maybe there’s this whole mystery about how there hasn’t been an Avatar since the death of the last Avatar and the Fire Nation has been in a… strange state of panic and defensive for the last 25 years now. Maybe Altaïr left his hometown after so many people keep saying “if only you’ve been born as the Avatar” and became a pro-bender to show everyone that he didn’t need to be the Avatar to be the best Firebender that Fire Nation ever had.
Maybe… just maybe… Desmond gives enough hints for others to realize his hometown was in Fire Nation, somewhere quite isolated…
And he really didn’t like to talk about his past.

I actually love how an argument can be made for every element except fire for Obi-Wan and Anakin is 100% fire and fire alone
look i dont make the rules I just choose to look away from other interpretations that go against my own in order to preserve my silly lil joys.
I can see water bender Obi-Wan as a North Pole bender dressed immaculately in white furs and he’s one of the chief’s most trusted advisers and nothing about him screams fighter except that he’s one of the best water benders in history. It also just works for what water is as an element and how I view obi-wan. I mean the man cannot break, he just transforms into something else and survives and survives and survives
I can see earth bender obi-wan for the strength of soul and heart he has and his rock solid singular trust and devotion in the Force idk I also can see him as learning from master Jinn how to be an earth bender and master Jinn is all about the green world around them and obi-wan thinks thats cool but specializes in something else completely like metal or crystal making or lava bending or something and he’s worried he’s been a bad apprentice because he can’t do what his master can, so he develops a tiny grain of infinite sadness to carry around with him (also he already always wears beige, so this tracks)
And I can definitely see air bender obi-wan because I feel like air bender obi-wan is just Jedi obi-wan because most of the Jedi I can easily see being airbenders down to the genocide!
Anakin….fire bender. Golden eyed, passionate, learns how to redirect lightning in a pivotal moment of the story just in time to save his loathed obi-wan from his old master Palpatine…….yeah. Fire bender. Court dismissed.

Forever stuck thinking about the parallels between Kuviren and Mingzan no one touch me
#I mean. unless you wanna yell about it with me. then yes please touch me absolutely#there's just something about tiny snarky waterbenders and their smug teasing earthbending partners#the type is definitely genetic#suiren not only looks exactly like Ming-Hua but also inherited her tsundere#and ghazan and kuvira are similar enough too. the way they're utterly smitten for their respective gfs. their love for teasing#their not so secret death wish#etc etc#once Mingzan and Kuvira get to meet some interesting conversations will have a chance to take place#I've got two main ideas#one is suiren and ming-hua#their relationship has gotten healthier. ming-hua has learned to let go of that little water lily she missed so much#suiren has realised her child self isn't dead just hidden deep down. once they reunite again it's nothing at all like Uprooted#and once ming-hua finds out about who her daughter is dating. they talk#suiren feels the need to overexplain bc of the whole former dictator thing. but ming-hua is like 'I see the way she looks at you.'#'like you're the world. she makes you happy and that's all that matters to me even if I don't quite understand why her of all people'#and when suiren asks how she knows. ming-hua talks about how ghazan looks at her. and then they get to discussing#and realise how similar their respective partners are#and then the other idea is ghazan and kuvira#she's nervous at first because again. an ex dictator surrounded by anarchists. and is worried the convo will be about intentions#with their daughter. so she too quickly tries to explain why she and Suiren are together. but ghazan just says#'if she's anything like her mother. and she was. as a child at least... then I totally get it' and he grins#and they talk about their girls in length too#ghazan's my love vs kuvira's my suiren#both smitten. completely and utterly in love#<3<3<3#if there's one thing to gain from all of this is it's that I maybe have become very kuviren centric but it's still a red lotus hyperfixation#first and foremost#and I've been craving RL shenanigans these past few days. so so badly#my beloved darlings

9 and 13, your pick of thing and its fandom
Let's go with ATLA.
9. worst part of canon This week I've been thinking a lot about the episode "The Waterbending Master" (S1:E18) and some of things that have always bothered me about it. My issues are rooted in the scene where Pakku tells Katara that he won't teach her:
Tumblr media
First of all, he says it's forbidden for women to learn waterbending, but then he says that women learn healing. The phrasing here is kind of bizarre-- he seems to be saying that healing and waterbending are two completely different things that have nothing to do with each other, which is absurd; healing is one kind of waterbending, and fighting is another. (It bothers me in general whenever characters act like fighting is the only real kind of bending, because we literally see so many different applications of bending in the show beyond fighting, and acting like people who use their bending for building or art or healing or anything other than battle aren't real benders is absurd. Not all benders are soldiers, nor should they be!) Second, I dislike the false dichotomy presented here. Katara claims that she wants to fight, not heal, implying that it's one or the other. Not only does this suggest that she must choose between the two (and that she's chosen fighting over healing), it doesn't match what we see both before and after this arc: throughout the show, Katara uses her waterbending for both healing and fighting, sometimes in the same scene, and aside from this one episode, the narrative never treats this as anomalous. (Jeong Jeong even told her a couple of episodes back that healing was something done by "great waterbenders" and envied her for it, but now that's being retconned and we're told that it's a sex distinction and not even real waterbending?) Finally, I have a general problem with the difference between how modern society tends to treat traditionally feminine roles and skills compared to those that are traditionally masculine: things and behaviors that are generally viewed as masculine (in this case, fighting) are worthy of envy and emulation and everyone should be able and allowed to do regardless of sex, while those that are feminine (in this case, healing) are viewed as inherently degrading and pathetic (not to mention often unnatural and wrong) and only done by sad and unfortunate women who have no other options and are pressured into it. I find this entire mindset to be extremely sexist and, frankly, rather insulting to every woman in history. Imagine if the episode had been about Aang wanting to learn healing and being told only women got to do that, while boys should just stick with fighting. Now that might have been an interesting episode that would actually be perfectly in-character for Aang, as opposed to Katara "saves her friends' lives multiple times using her healing abilities" acting like learning to heal is a waste of time. (Ever notice that while we see several female waterbending fighters throught the franchise, there's not a single instance of a male waterbending healer? Is that because guys are incapable of healing, or are girls the only ones allowed to diversify their skillsets?) And none of this is to say that Katara was wrong for wanting to learn to fight or anything like that-- I just dislike the way the whole situation was framed.
13. worst blorboficiation The easy answer, obviously, is Zuko. I don't think I need to elaborate any more on that-- plenty of people have gone into this in the past, I don't think I have anything new to add there. (Although maybe that's more "woobification" than "blorbofication," if we're getting specific.) The one I find more personally grating is actually Kyoshi. I don't hate her, but I do hate the way people idolize her and act like she was the most amazing and wonderful Avatar ever-- usually while contrasting her with Roku, who gets such undeserved hate for... *checks notes* not wanting to kill his best friend.
Send me an ask that may incite violence.

In "Imprisoned," the earthbenders bend coal. This means they can bend carbon - and specifically hydrocarbons at that.
This probably means they can bend plastic. Now you know.
to be honest, i don't find this to be satisfying evidence of the question "can earthbenders bend plastic" because there is no logical connection between being able to bend coal and this fact necessitating that earthbenders can thus bend any organic compound. the reason that earthbenders can bend coal is because coal is a type of rock, not because it contains hydrocarbons. unlike waterbending, which is specifically the ability to manipulate the H2O molecule, it seems like earthbenders, rather, can bend anything that either is or contains minerals. that said, i can see a basis for arguing for plastic bending in this fact, since plastic often contains minerals. i plan on making a longer post unpacking the physical stipulations of bending mechanics someday, so stay tuned for that.
