(color picspam): Amon + Grey [Requested by [x]]
I’m actually really nervous about posting these pages since the first page stood alone so well and was really well-received, but I finished, so here they are. My favourite pages ended up being the first and fifth, entirely because the colours were fun (and looking at my own stilted dialogue kind of kills me inside).
I like to think that if they had enough time, these bros could have made amends. Slowly, maybe, but an apology that’s more genuine than ‘I’m sorry for what I had to do to you’ is a start.
I just have so many feelings about Tarrlok and my questionable ability to write about them augh
THEY’RE ALL PRECIOUS BABIES ;~;
Posters from the signing today! And look, older GAang!
My brother is quite a handsome man, but very annoying.
That lady is my hero.
Amon getting ready in the morning.
When Amon’s identity was revealed to Republic City, I had so many questions. Does Amon wear that face paint EVERY DAY just in case he’s unmasked? Does he keep his lip all shoved up like that all day long, or can he blood bend his own lip to suck into his face? And did Peeta give him makeup tips?
Make sure to listen to this.
I attempted to do an Up/Avatar crossover, but it was a little more difficult than I thought it would be. Ah well. Here it is anyway!
“Thanks for the adventure—”
Katara stared down at the small girl before her; her tubby fists were curled in determination, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She threw her hands in the air, letting out a loud shriek.
“I’m Avatar Korra! You gotta deal with it!” She looked up at Katara and flashed her a toothy grin. “I’m ready for my waterbending lesson, Master…uh….”
“Katara,” the old master said. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Korra.”
“—Now go find a new one!”
“Let’s start with a simple water whip, shall we?”
Korra smiled.
This is war.
Korra’s just found out the best healer in the world can’t do anything for her. Her last hope to hang onto the identity she’s had since childhood is gone. Mako tells her he loves her; she tells him to go away, that she’s “not the Avatar anymore.” Her misery calls back to the dream she had in “The Voice In The Night,” where her own subconscious—dressed as scary Amon—tells her “Once I take your bending away, you will be nothing.” Korra goes out to a cliff, and walks up to the very, very edge—she’s close enough that from her looking-down POV we see a tear actually falling all the way down the side of the cliff, which means her head is leaning out over the drop. I can’t think of a reason to use that specific shot unless it’s to imply that she went up there to throw herself off the cliff. (via Reddit)
I am really astounded by the parallel between these two characters. In my opinion, Amon let Tarlock kill them both. He and his brother committed suicide. But Korra chose life. Where the brothers gave in to misery, Korra chose hope. And that as what brought her the spiritual link she was missing. Korra and Amon are mirror images of how people respond to despair. Sometimes we change; sometimes we don’t. (Reddit.)
It was absolutely contemplating suicide. Korra knows how the Avatar cycle works, and with her unable to access all the elements she wouldn’t properly be able to fulfill her Avatar duties and really doing a disservice to the world. Killing herself would allow an Earthbending avatar to be born, one who would be able to learn again instead of wasting time for the possibility of Korra’s elements to come back, if they ever would have without spirit interference. (Reddit 3.)
New headcanon, folks.
I don’t think it’s just headcanon…I think it was strongly implied. This is exactly what I got out of it as well.

i really didn’t feel like the equalist movement ended at all. sure amon’s gone, but who’s to say another one won’t appear?

Brilliant.
This reminds me of V for Vendetta all too much. /i love this
It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.
