subways are better than buses for many reasons but ultimately only subway cars offer the unparalleled combination of public space/social agreements that allow you to cry in front of strangers undisturbed

Cultural Weapons: Meteorite Weaponry

While not an intentional reference, Sokka's choice of material for his sword has historical precedent amongst Inuit people. For centuries, Inuit people in Northwest Greenland (Inughuit) used iron from meteorites to cold forge weapons such as knives and arrowheads; these meteorites were known as saviksue, meaning "the great irons" in Inuktun. So if you ever wondered how the Water Tribe got a hold of the metal for their weapons, the answer is space iron.

With this context in mind, it's not surprising that Sokka would choose a material familiar to him when given the opportunity to hot forge his own weapon. Pictured below is an Inughuit weapon made out of narwhal tusk and meteorite iron.

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^

*goes to Coachella in a white linen suit like an antebellum lawyer, sweating profusely and dabbing at my forehead with a handkerchief* now, I’m no fancy scientist, but would you folk know where a simple gentleman such as myself could obtain some acid? Now, I’m no big city lawyer, but could any of you fine youths point a country boy such as myself in the direction of some fucking acid?

Just made myself so so sad thinking about Aang's marble trick because from a physics perspective, keeping dense spherical objects afloat on an airstream is not trivial, and he's doing it in a tiny little space without moving his hands. Bending is usually very gestural. So. Everyone in the era of the show is, at best, impressed THAT it is airbending. But Aang's an incredibly young master airbender. He wouldn't be acting like this was the bestest trick ever if it didn't take at least some skill; he's a goofy kid but he's also a prodigy. I bet other airbenders were absolutely blown away (pun fully intended) at the level of precision and force and minimalism of movement on display and now there's no one who understands at all why he expects accolades.

initially i was painting this as a lighting study. But then I understood that it could be a little Sokka who brought his big catch to his village
