Nothing like a broken heart to bleed ink

He truly did.

If other atla & tlok characters had bear dog hybrids

More of the sketches of the Last Air Keyholder AU! All character designs instantly gain +50 points in my eyes with the inclusion of gloves. I haven't figured out Toph's design yet but I should speed up, cause she is supposed to appear in season 1. I toyed with the idea that Zuko has a gang of arrogant teenagers who treat him as their leader and all of them have the shaved head and a "racer's tail", but I think it would end up being confusing as they'd all be too similar. So in the scraps you go!

Some sketchy work for ATLA sci-fi AU! Featuring a bunch of my insane sketches trying to work through the symbol designs.

Rewatching Avatar with my mom (for her the first time in like 8 years?) and we just saw the Painted Lady... and for 15 years I've been wondering why the Painted Lady herself didn't do anything, but my mom immediately goes 'oh now that the river is clean again she's free' ...

THAT'S SO LOGICAL HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THAT

i stan one (1) lovestruck dumbass

in which zuko is still adjusting to the group dynamic, and katara's got jokes

Sometimes I think about exactly how powerful Zuko’s story as an abuse victim is and I just have to stop and tear up for a minute.

Just let it sink in that at 13 years old, Zuko’s father mutilated him in front of an audience and told him he was worthless and unwelcome until he completed an impossible mission. Nobody stepped in to help him. Most onlookers thought he deserved it, and even Iroh was too afraid of Ozai to challenge him in Zuko’s defense.

Zuko went on for years believing Ozai was right, and didn’t recognize what happened to him as abuse. He thought his banishment and suffering were his own fault because something was wrong with him, and that it was his duty to change to become worthy again.

Then this scene? Absolutely incredible.

Zuko’s whole journey leads up to this confrontation, where he not only recognizes that he holds no responsibility for the abuse inflicted on him; he confronts his abuser and tells him he was wrong to treat him that way, that he doesn’t owe his abuser anything.

And not only that, Zuko also tells Ozai that he sees how he’s hurting the rest of the world the same way he hurt him, and vows to stop him. That’s literally so powerful, especially watching this as someone who once felt as broken and alone as Zuko once did. His story is everything to me.

#a badass

Never forget the time Toph Beifong was the first person ever to bend a material previously believed to be unbendable and she did it out of pure spite.

Them | Being crackheads.

Crackhead Trio.

So while rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, I noticed a trend

A number of spirits we see have an animal form, specifically animals we recognize as "normal" for us. For example:

- Wan Shi Tong is an owl and his knowledge seekers are foxes

- Tui and La are koi fish

- Hei Bai is a panda

-The guardian of the mother of faces is a wolf (The Search)

Heck there's even the talking Baboon spirit and the monkey missing its face that we see in the Spirit World at the end of Season 1.

Basically every time we've seen a "normal" animal, they've been a spirit.

My point? I argue that Bosco is a spirit bear that's chilling and living the good life in the mortal world just because he can.

Don't forget Miyuki!
