For years, a mysterious figure preyed on gay men in Atlanta. People on the streets called him the Handcuff Man—but the police knew his real name. @atavist issue no. 149, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” is now live:

No one could be certain when the Handcuff Man had staged his first attack. Adamson claimed that he’d been terrorizing Midtown since the late 1960s, that he drove a white Lincoln, was about five foot ten, and had black hair and glasses. A sex worker said that the Handcuff Man had picked him up in Piedmont Park in 1977, asked him to take shots of liquor, then assaulted him. The victim managed to flee with a stab wound to the shoulder, and later saw the man again at the park eyeing other male hustlers. He didn’t report the crime because he was afraid of being outed to loved ones.

In 1984, Susan Faludi, then a twentysomething reporter a few years out from becoming a Pulitzer Prize–winning author, wrote a front-page story about gay hustlers for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She asked her sources about the dangers of their lifestyle and learned that “the greatest fear on the street right now is invoked by the specter of ‘The Handcuff Man,’ a man who reportedly picks up hustlers, offers them a pint of vodka spiked with sleeping pills and then handcuffs and beats them.”

So, Butters is a water bender, his main personality is really sweet and naive, just as he is in the show, Butters is born mid war at the Northen Water Tribe, his parents insolate him from the other villagers just because, and would constantly ground him for nothing, but mostly because he is not good enough as a waterbender, both are not masters so they project on him, specially his dad, Who even wants him to become a soilder since he couldn't, the constant presure eventually makes him accidentaly create this "serious side" that he calls Profesor Chaos so he can be the soilder his dad wants him to be, but is never enough.

One day, at the middle of the night, butters and his dad are still training, he es tired, frustaded and mad, his dad doesn't let him get a rest despite him begging, out of anger he snaps and discovers he is a bloodbender.

sorry for any mistakes eng is not my main language
