#and also merge them

Guys, I found the perfect Sokka creature.

So we all know the dragon Zuko au, where he turns into a dragon, right? And I thought "hey, what if other nations have that too?" So I started my research.

The first creature I thought of was Tangie, because it's perfect for a fanfic. It's a water horse beast, that can appear as either a horse or a handsome man. When someone mounts it in horse form it's pretty safe until Tangie smells water. Then the back becomes adhesive and human can't escape. Tangie takes human to water and eats it.

Zukka fanfic where Zuko wants to put himself in danger (again) with no consideration for his own safety (again) and self sacrifice for others (again), but Sokka in horse form turns on his adhesive trait and literally carries him to safety like "no you stay right here"? Yes please.

BUT!

I thought, why force our western mythology here? So I searched for Inuit creatures, since you know, water tribe is based on Inuit culture. There aren't a lot of them on Wikipedia, so it didn't take long to look through every single one and guys

Guys.

Akhlut.

Do you guys know what an akhlut is? You probably don't, so let me tell you. Akhlut is an orca that becomes a wolf once it steps on land. It also has a merge form.

Do you know what looks an awful lot like it was inspired by orca, or at least has orca colors?

THAT'S RIGHT!

Do you guys know what was definitely inspired by wolves?

EXACTLY!

He already is an orca wolf! What's more, most of ATLA animals are merged from two animals, so it even fits lore! Tangie is perfect for fanfics, but akhlut is perfect for Sokka.

Why isn't this common in fanfics? Why isn't it popular? Besides, look at this good boy.

Baby Sokka akhlut.

EDIT: okay so maybe Sokka's war paint doesn't look all that orca-ish, but not having it in front of my eyes I thought it fit so I kept it in the post even after I double checked it. It has the colors. That's enough for me.

Morro’s last line in Ninjago was “You can only save those who want to be saved. Goodbye, Sensei.”

And the scene right mf after was THIS

HIM REACHING OUT.

REACHING OUT FOR WU.

Morro didn’t want to be saved. He was far too tired and far too uncaring at that point to have the will to live again. But he wanted a second chance. He wanted to do more. He wanted to have his choices matter and he wanted to leave on a better note and he desperately wanted to ignore that small part inside of him forcing him to keep his arm up, to keep reaching forward for something he doesn’t deserve again.

Something he didn’t deserve, and couldn’t get, again.

Humbly requests for more amphiseidon

Okay um- this was gonna be series of sketches, but I had this idea ever since seeing Neal's concept Amphitrite (which has only been this image). Ever since I felt the urge to make her.. gigantic.. but I like her being the size of the average god, but remembered the Gods just shapeshift so-

I made this..

I hope you don't mind that I use this ask to ramble:

This Amphitrite of mine is the version that she (and the other Nereids) is born of Nereus & Doris. I chose this version because of the lineage being more interesting to me & how I depict her here. Though who knows, I might switch to Oceanus because he's a titan. But I chose Nereus because he is "The Old Man of the Sea" and Doris is Okeanid nymph (so really it just moves her down a generation from Oceanus daughter to his granddaughter). But Nereus's father is Pontos, the Primordial God of the Sea & husband to Thalassa (his counterpart as Primordial Goddess of the Sea). It just makes her ancestry more interesting to me. And Pontos is depicted with crab claws on his person, like Amphitrite.

And because of all this big tie to water, I would assume she's more skilled with the element than Poseidon, since he inherited the Sea. Not to mention that she is just sometimes referred to as the entire ocean, making her a literal body of water (haha). And that's where this form ties in. I'm sure she could cause quite the damage if she wanted to, but I like to think it's not in her nature & that she's just the calmer seas. If anything, I think she's more patient in this form of hers, which is why her hair is more flowy than curly. Her tail is also based on Nereus's. So she shares that with her father :]

The only thing to remain on her person is her crown, located in her center. I like to think her grandfather Pontos bestowed it onto her as his eldest granddaughter. I also think it'd be cute that if Poseidon wants to find her (when her body is literally just water flowing anywhere), he'll look for her crown & that's where she'll be.

brewing evil things in my evil laboratory

[traumatizedartist]

Had an idea of humans marking some more defient drones w/ brands, like how farmers brand their cattle, but with burning hot rods that cause damage to the wires that got burned

The scar on his back is supposed to say JcJenson Property on it but I didn't have enough room

The damage to his wires on his back also affected his right arm and leg(the damage was like nerve damage but like, the robot version or smth)

When he gets flare ups, his right arm and leg tingle like their asleep while burning at the same time, it gets worse the longer it lasts(the flare ups can last from a couple of hours to days) it mostly affects his arm and back(his back is the most painful{it's also covered in whip scars 😔}) When his flare ups last days he becomes practically bed ridden, all you would hear is groans and moans of pain, almost nothing helps, no matter how much people(nori & the mechanics) try :(

The only thing that helps is pressure surprisingly, but it only helps when he has shorter flare ups, when their longer, there's nothing anyone can do but just try to distract him from the pain

He tries to bare through it most of the time, even when it's during his longer flare ups, which causes him even more pain, he's very stubborn and doesn't like to be seen as weak, most people in the outpost see him as a pathetic door obsessed maniac, so he doesn't want to make it worse, all it results in his lack luster performance and, during the longer flare ups, him to collapse.

Poor guy
