Is this the first ever time we’ve gotten official show-style art of Lu Ten??? I love him so much, he’s got Iroh’s eyes 😭

I got her portraits so now I can make a full sheet of Biblically accurate Rangi! \0w0/ (link to previous ver)

M Night Shyamalan setting playbook for the Avatar Legends roleplaying game.

Firebending and earthbending are drastically nerfed, all names get alternative pronunciation guides, and you're required to announce that the session will be part one of a campaign before you give up after a one-shot and vow to try harder when you reboot it in 14+ years

When you move a small rock, you and the rest of the party roll + stomp...

@omglooknoone suggested Korrasami dressed up for dinner, but consider--it's their wedding reception.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Now we have biblically accurate Rangi....I think she and Hei-Ran look more similar than they did before.

I sandwiched Rangi in between Hei-Ran portraits so it's easier to switch between the diff ver of Hei-Ran (short hair/battle and long hair/casual) vs Rangi.

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately! Life and all that... But I have been working on some things! It was awesome to work on this commission of some OCs from someone's Avatar Legends campaign!

ATLA sexuality headcanons, part 2, Roku's era:

due to the limited information regarding this era, i might just be spouting bullshit. but! it's mY bullshit.

roku

-bisexual, male lean

-he mainly dated men when he was younger because he was trash at talking to women, but after mastering the avatar state he actually started seeing women (because raava is a lesbian)

-he is the master of homoerotic friendships, i tell you. sozin? gyatso? sud? no heterosexual explanation for any of them

-with sozin, roku was oblivious as fuck. he loved him, but he could never pinpoint exactly how. there were many moments of unresolved sexual tension.

-he fell in love with ta-min because she's absolutely raava's type

-but literally wore sozin's crown until the end of hid life and keeps it in his spirit form despite everything??? roku, please.

sozin

-he is gay but he's also awful

-contrary to all I've written until now, these things CAN co-exist

-being the golden child, a direct azula parallel, and also obsessed with roku?

-the fire nation law allowing married couples to legally annul their married was drafted and ratified by firelord sozin at around 44BG on the eve of avatar roku's wedding

-and gay marriage was made illegal after roku died.

-and he banned dancing in his oldest bitterest years of being alive because roku liked dancing, “sozin, It's my wedding! have a cookie! dance with someone!” (he didn't)

-he basically proposed to roku with his crown bfr

-i imagine that he was the one to kill gyatso. personally.

zeisan

-absolute lesbian

-in the avatar universe the lesbian masterdoc is a philosophical text that she herself wrote

-SO sick of sozin's imperialist, fascist bullshit. girl same. be gay study philosophy.

-she canonically bore no romantic love for khandro and he bore no such feelings for her either. the marriage was strictly political and based on mutual respect.

-rioshon, on the other hand? the love of zeisan's LIFE fr fr

ta min

-you've got no idea how much I'm looking forward to getting to know her when roku's book comes out. she seems nice. the roku episode barely gives her any attention, though. she's definitely raava's type that's for sure-- not a coincidence roku wifed her up AFTER mastering the avatar state, raava had been WAITING

-the vibes are relatively heterosexual

-girl was BEEFING with sozin

-"may i borrow your husband for a moment" if i were ta min and that was my wedding day idc if he was the firelord he would have gotten his ass beat (/j) so she's definitely a better person than me

-I'm a big fun of the theory that each avatar has the face of their past life's true love and aang looks a LOT like her so i think her and roku are sweet

gyatso

-gay bitch

-i don't know i just genuinely can't imagine him with a woman,,

-he had feelings for roku which weren't reciprocated and a nice old homoerotic friendship. his difference with sozin is that he didn't commit genocide and he DIDN'T leave roku to die in a volcanic eruption

-he loved roku enough to settle for being his friend if it meant he'd be happy

-he would have protected aang with his life, he was like a son to him,,, and he reminded him so much of his best friend

-after gyatso caused so much damage to the fire nation troops, sozin came to kill him himself. and god was it personal.

sud

-bisexual

-another homoerotic roku friendship

-roku you slutty slutty old man

-sud was roku's bi awakening, in fact. obviously sozin was the first one he loved but he couldn't explain it or understand it back then. he was old enough when he met sud to figure it out.

-him snd roku had tea dates after training, come on now

-they were friends first and foremost, though, lifelong friends.

taqukaq

-bisexual but never realises. I have to imagine he's at least somewhat conservative since he's from the northern water tribe and all—at least at first.

-then again, he was very spiritual and soft-spoken since his childhood. he travelled the world as a diplomat and saw many different walks of life

-he was perhaps in love with his good friend nai, and that's why his betrayal shook him to his core and gave him such terrible trust issues

rioshon

-lesbian

-also asexual

-perhaps she also fought sozin during the comet.

-maybe it was more personal for her than it was for him.

-she mourns the life she could have had with zeisan, if only she'd spoken out. if only she'd been honest with her feelings. damn the consequences! sozin won anyways. they wasted their lives and their love for nothing.

khandro

-aromantic and asexual

-bro finds rioshon captivating and respects the grind

now... nyanchi, boin, ezra, zeebee, bo, chegu, ema, sherab, and norbu, etc, who all appear in avatar legends as regenerated characters—i actually don't know what to say about them. they barely feel like characters-and they're not really that connected to roku. i just want this era to get fleshed out like kyoshi's and yangchen's! like their novels were so good. I'm more excited to find out more about the past avatars than to get new avatars, honestly, but that might just be me.

Cultural Fashion: Kahola Pt. 1 - Hair & Headband

Kahola is a character from Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game Core Book. He is the child of Southern Water Tribe pirates. His design is inspired by Ainu culture.

First, as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, Ainu people traditionally kept their hair trimmed at shoulder length or a little shorter, a style that Kahola also shares. Tied around his head is a sapanpe (サパンペ), a ritual crown worn by adult men during traditional Ainu ceremonies.  It is believed to impart great power to the one who wears it.

Sapanpe are made of dried and twisted vines. At the center of every sapanpe is a wooden carving that imitates the head of a revered animal in Ainu culture, such as a brown bear or a red fox. While Kahola’s headband appears to also be made of dried vines, there is a blue stone in place of the animal head carving; this is both for ease of drawing and to reflect his Water Tribe heritage.

In the next post, I’ll discuss the details of Kahola's clothing in-depth as well as my overall opinions on his design--- I love the look, but it’s also culturally confusing in the context of the ATLA world.

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

Why Lu Ten was a bender

I read many fanfics about the fire royal family in the last few days and in most of the fics where Lu Ten was mentioned he was non bender. Now, it's doesn't make any sense from what we know about the royal family and the nobility in the fire nation.

In the comics of the search we know Azulon and Ozai wanted to banish Zuko because they thought he wasn't a bender. Azulon wouldn't accepted Lu Ten as the heir if he was a non bender like he didn't want to accept Zuko because they thought he is not a bender.

We also know the teachers didn't even agree to teach Zeisan because she wasn't a bender. They might not banish her because she wasn't the heir but they didn't care about her much.

Also, we know from Piandao's backstory that non benders in the noble families were a thing to be ashamed of. His parents were talented fire benders and because he wasn't a bender they abandoned him in an orphanage.

You might can be in the fire nation army without being a bender but being a noble or a royalty is another thing and if Lu Ten wasn't a bender he wouldn't have the status we know he had. No matter how much Azulon would have respect Iroh and his son if he wasn't a bender he would have not been considering the crown prince of the fire nation.
