❝ I think you did a great job. ❞

[kivinik]

* VIKINGS (2013-2020) PROMPTS ,

warriors don’t show their heart until the axe reveals it.

the world is changing and we must change with it.

some men lust for women, and others lust for gold, but i only lust to please the gods.

if nothing is real, we must still act as if it was.

we have lost more knowledge than we ever had.

power is only given to those who are prepared to lower themselves to pick it up.

it is always a strength to know the weaknesses of your friends.

your power resides in your prestige.

we cannot control our fate, we must accept it.

what was once true and real, is suddenly no longer true; no longer real, and sometimes we have to accept that.

we all make mistakes, sometimes for bad reasons, and sometimes for good ones.

it is one thing to use a weapon, but another to kill.

the space between life and death, that’s where we are the most alive.

life is not a walk across an open field.

we never really change, we just think that we do.

the mind is a far better warrior than the sword.

you and i both know the outcome of this battle has already been decided.

we live to fight another day.

the more complicated a person is, the more interesting he is, but at the same time: the more dangerous he is.

we all live in the past, although some people don’t understand that.

all of my life, and all of your lives, have come to this point.

the only way to tell if something is real is to sail there.

there is nowhere else to be but here.

the lure of an imaginary land, traveling somewhere that doesn’t exist? of course i’m coming.

all roads lead to the throne.

to be here now is the only thing that matters.

the gods are man’s creation to give answers that they are too afraid to give themselves.

i never forget anything.

you will look better if you have something to believe in.

fame won’t make your small kingdom any bigger.

to everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under the sun.

i have no interest in peace; peace is a dirty word.

if the gods don’t protect me, then who can?

family isn’t everything, in the end, we are born alone and we die alone.

i desire to live a totally different kind of life.

what’s important is how we deal with suffering, how we deal with the truth.

i am old enough to know that you can never say for sure what someone else will do.

what is real today might not be real tomorrow, but sometimes we have to help it to shift.

as long as my brother is still alive, he is not defeated.

you emerge from the womb with only one thing on your mind, how to die.

you couldn’t kill me if you tried for a hundred years.

when you hear thunder, it’s only thunder.

it is the way of prophecy.

i’ve seen enough of war, i have seen enough of death.

the truth can be a bad choice for a wise man.

you are a great man, but even great men make mistakes.

how the little piggies will grunt when they hear how the old boar suffered.

don’t waste your time looking back, you’re not going that way.

life is all about change, is it not?

man is the master of his own fate, not the gods.

there is an illusion of power that induces inside you a kind of madness.

the gods will always smile on the brave women.

a king must be prepared to do the most terrible things against all conscience if he wants to survive.

words are fine, but they don’t win battles.

it’s not a matter of negotiation, it’s always a matter of blood.

hatred must never take the place of love.

sometimes the real truth is hidden from all of us, beyond the accidents of time and place, and has to be revealed.

nothing is so complicated, only thinking makes it so.

i have had enough of compromising with the men in my life.

you made a decision, live with it, believe in it; otherwise, how can i ever respect you?

you don’t need a title to be a leader.

what is it about the word king that makes even reasonable people behave like idiots?

i was never the usurper, always the usurped.

now I know I’m the chosen one.

we are always the same. We just pretend to change.

stones are much easier to wear than earth.

i would sup with the devil if he would show me how to achieve my earthly goals.

a hostage of the highest value is the safest hostage.

your death is on its way.

that is always the danger, to do the right things for the wrong reasons.

bad news travels a great deal slower than good news.

i am tired of fighting.

yes, we will all die. but not necessarily when the bandits attack us.

the man i once was would have dug this spade just deep enough into your skull to make you unconscious.

do you see this? are you watching this? this is our dream.

i am done with the humans.

you need to believe in yourself, or you’re not fit to wear that crown.

if you are afraid, then you are already dead.

the gods abandoned you a long time ago.

nothing is ever permanent, everything is always changing.

i need you to help me put my armor on one last time.

what is the point in trying to find a new land, if we behave just the same as we did in the old one?

we should never forget our past, ever.

life is a journey; we are borne ceaselessly into the future.

there is no way you can win.

life is about suffering, there’s no escape from it. that’s the truth.

i can hardly remember his name even now.

the world is more important than we are; we should take care of it.

power is always dangerous: it attracts the worst and corrupts the best.

wherever you go, i will go too. whatever you do, i will do too; even till the ends of the earth, even to the ends of endurance.

if we don’t change, we fall behind.

the gods never had children with humans.

Understanding others—the other elements, and the other nations—will help you become whole.

agni-yazas​:

  He accepts the ladle to do as told, getting it probably was Katara’s way of gently telling him to stop making a mess.

— “Sorry.“ he shrinks, slowly stirring the mixture on the pot, "I don’t really know how to cook beyond just, fish or meat.” if you could call that cook, he would just burn the whole thing.

Hearing him apologize prompted her tp pause, looking at him for a brief moment. ❝ Zuko you don’t have to apologize. You’ve done nothing wrong! ❞ She responded her brow furrowing with worry at his reaction. ❝ I know, how about I teach you how to cook! Gran Gran taught me pretty much everything that I know! ❞ She suggests with a grin.

agni-yazas​:

— “I thought I could help with lunch…” but of course, he didn’t have idea of how to cook. Rice didn’t seem too difficult to make, but once he actually tried it…

Katara paused, watching him for a moment before offering him a gentle smile. ❝ Well, it was a good try, but how about you just stir the stew? ❞ She inquired, offering him the ladle. She didn’t want to offend him, but she figured that she should be the one to cook the meal. She wasn’t entirely sure how he got the rice to taste like that in all honesty. ❝ I appreciate the help Zuko. ❞ She added after a moment.

" For all his life, it was the sun he sought after. Then, one day, the moon came to him and caressed all his burns away. "

[kivinik]

❝ That doesn’t seem like a very good idea. ❞

Haruo​:

It was easy to be angry. He didn’t want to let himself feel scared, so anger had become an old friend of his, familiar and to some extent, comforting. Anger had kept him company for years, twisting at his stomach and tightening his chest, simmering just beneath his skin when he crossed soldiers uniformed in red, howling in his ears when he finally let it loose, pummeling the earth until his hands were raw and bloody. “How’d you let it go?” He turned his head to face her then, feeling some semblance of comfort knowing she understood. Of course she would; he remembered the anger burning in her eyes on the prison rig, righteous and bright. “It’s over now, there’s nothing to be scared of anymore. But how do you move forward?”

Once more her features softened. In truth, she wasn’t entirely how to answer his question. Some times, some times she felt the rage still hidden away deep within her heart. But now? Now she no longer felt it so much. ❝ It took a long time, but I realized that I didn’t want to be like them. I realized that everyone has their own shares of pain. ❞ She responds thoughtfully, her brow furrowing slightly as she spoke. ❝ Moving forward is never easy but it helps. A long time ago I had the chance to confront the man who killed my mother, but I couldn’t bring myself to hurt him. I realized that causing others pain because I was hurt wouldn’t solve anything. ❞

Ty-Lee​:

— “Hehe, really?” she rubs the back of her head, “I’ve only taught Zuko before, and he always complained that my instructions weren’t clear enough!”

   Katara was so nice, she was gonna maker her blush! To even think Ty Lee had punched her before! They could have been friends from the beginning if it wasn’t because of the war!

— “I guess it’s normal! Chi-blocking is based off different movement from all four bending styles. Years and years of study condensed in an unique fighting style!”

The young waterbender nodded her head, a smile illuminating her features. Katara couldn’t help but to laugh at her remark. ❝ Well, I think Zuko is a lot like Sokka. They usually don’t like to admit when they don’t completely get something. ❞ She responded, laughter accompanying her words once more. She couldn’t help but to wonder how things would have been different if it weren’t for the war. Would there paths have even crossed? She would certainly like to think that they would, she found a good friend in the other and that was something she genuinely enjoyed. ❝ Oh I see! It is certainly an effective move. I think this fighting style is very strong. ❞ She adds after a moment. 

[kivinik]

Ty-Lee​:

— “You’re a quick learner!” she stops the punch with easiness, bouncing on her shoes at the perfect display of the technique shown. Maybe it was because of her training as waterbender, that Katara already had the discipline and agility required, or maybe she was just naturally skilled; whatever was the reason, Ty Lee was truly happy to teach her.

— “Now try many with both hands, one after another in a constant rhythm. You can make them match with your steps as you advance too, so it’s like a dance!”

Katara had to admit, learning from Ty-Lee was something that she had never expected to happen and yet, it was something she was extremely grateful for. The Southern Water Tribe bender couldn’t help but to admire the other’s poise and abilities. ❝ Only because I have a good teacher! ❞ She responds with a gentle smile. In response to her next instructions she began to give it a try, doing her best to remain in constant rhythm. She thought that it was something similar she would do to moving water back and forth. ❝ It’s kind of like the push and pull of water. ❞ She remarks thoughtfully.
