Knowing the masked stranger who’d rescued him was Zuko... should have made it easy to leave the firebender at the mercy of the Yuyan archers. Especially when Aang still needed to find more frozen frogs. There was surely no time to be dragging Zuko’s body to safety, and safe-keeping that pretty blue mask of his. Which he props delicately atop a thick tree root. He admires the mask while he contemplates leaving, but ultimately sits, waiting by Zuko’s slumped form.

“ i’ve already seen this before. ”

“Oooh, really?” Aang paps a finger against the theatre poster, pointing out the names of the actors. “But you probably haven’t seen these guys performing it, right? You can compare!”

he  definitely  can’t  do  it      ,      as  far  as  she’s  sensing      ｡      he’s  just  getting  himself  into  more  trouble      ｡                    ❛          you’re  never  gonna  learn  how  to  earthbend  if  you  keep  doing  it  the  wrong  way      ｡      i  told  you      !      the  earth  is  stubborn      !      you  can’t  let  it  bully  you  around      ｡          ❜

 the  way  that  she’s  going  to  keep  doing  until  he  gets  this  right      ｡      with  a  stomp  of  her  heel      ,      she  sends  flat  earth  up  beneath  his  feet  and  sending  him  up  and  over                           slide  of  the  foot  closes  the  ground  right  back  up  again                            and  toppling  to  the  surface  earth  below  him      ｡                      ❛          try  again      ｡          ❜

“I can’t bully it around, either!” He shouts back - rather, he tries to. Several layers of dirt and rock muffle every syllable. Then those layers spray out like a fountain head, jettisoning the avatar up into the air. In a moment of sheer blind panic, Aang clings to the surrounding earth for comfort. He manages to pull a sheet of rock around his forearms, before bursting out into open air.

Aang pulls the air around him into an orb beneath him, cushioning his fall. He drips dirt, shaking it from his clothing, and nods to Toph. He can’t make the Earth do anything he simply wants it to do. 

He has to truly need the earth to move for him, before it will...

Aang settles into a wide, rooted stance, and returns attention to the ground beneath him. Teeth grit together in concentration. He needs to move this rock. If he doesn’t get this right, the world will fall back into chaos, so many more people will die, and... and Toph will keep being really mean. 

“Okay, you rocks!” Aang declares, tensing his stance and punching out with the all the earthen energy he can muster. “Move!” The rocks topple over, just slightly. Aang punches out again. “Move, move, move! Keep moving!” He commands the rocks, shuffling them around with every punch.

He didn’t believe it when he had first been told: The Dragons have been hunted to extinction. No; Aang can never imagine the world without dragons. Obviously the Fire Lord can... they wanted the same of airbenders, after all. 

“But there are supposed to be... and don’t you think, if we’re both here, there might even be others? Hiding somewhere?”

⚪ White symbolizes treachery, a sinister nature, suspicion of others and the willingness to visit evil deeds upon them.

 🔴Red symbolizes honor, loyalty, heroism. This is the face we show our brothers and sisters. The red is the trust we have for each other, buried in the field of white but always showing through our gaze.

....can he do it himself...? No, yes, no he needs to stop doubting himself. He watches Toph; ready, even while at rest. Maybe with a stance like that, he actually can get himself out.

"Yhhh!” Dirt spits from muffled words. “I can doh it mhhswlf!” With that, he pulls his arms against solid rock and claws a path through it... pulling himself deeper into the ground. Okay! Great! Now he just needs to work on going in the right direction.

I wanted to compare arm movements.

Even though I was born blind, I’ve never had a problem seeing. I see with earthbending. It’s kinda like seeing with my feet. I feel the vibrations in the earth and I can see where everything is.
