hi! i’ve been stalking your blog a bit (you’re correct about literally everything) and i saw on one of your posts that bryke apparently really hate zeekay. i’ve just gotten back into the fandom and i was wondering if you had any proof of that? i was in the atla fandom back in its heyday and the zeekay dominance was so (horrifically) prevalent then that they made it seem like all the writers were closet zeekay shippers.

hi! sorry for the very late response. on my zk shippers post i’m pretty sure i linked a video of them mocking zk fanart in the replies. if not you can search bryan’s tumblr page @bryankonietzko for it in the zk tag i’m pretty sure it’s still up 😭

y idk but we’ll take it

[ai-fandom-police-police]

unfortunately, ai-fandom-police appears to be a real person. i sent in something about bryankonietzko using ai to troll them, and they didn't respond. that being said, it'd be nice if we could all report their account because now it's getting irritating

Alas, that seems to be the situation. I’d really hoped they were AI, to be honest, because at least it theoretically meant that no one out there would be wasting their time and energy being this obtuse and being so dense that light bends around them. So yes, while @ai-fandom-police continues to accuse artists of using AI without proof, we must all report them and their posts.

At this point they’ve even transitioned to calling out blogs that don’t even post their own art but share and reblog others’ art. This is just… exasperating. I can’t imagine anyone with some level of maturity responding in this way and blindly accepting every single accusatory anon they get their way so they can keep calling artists out and feeling self-important.

100% this is a self-important busybody going on an ego trip, that I can tell you. This is their crusade, so to speak, and there is nothing that would sway them from this path. All we can do is report them to ensure they stop swinging their crazy callout bat at our friends.

@bryankonietzko

I am interested in potentially auditioning for a voice actor on the new avatar animated film, are you able to let me know what that looks like?

[youkothelastavatar]

Based on that Japanese myth that your face is the face of the person you loved most in your previous life❤️

I know that myth isn’t actually true and it’s not necessarily canon but I do think it’s a cool concept and it kinda worked out for all the previous avatars so I thought it would be cute. Of course non of them look EXACTLY the same but similar for sure!

So I designed Delun to look similar to Asami (who Korra loved most in her life). Youko looks similar to Li Ma. Li Ma was Delun’s mother and the person he loved most in his life. Because he spent his entire life in captivity he never had a relationship with someone he loved more than her. I also thought it would be interesting to take a different route because most of the past avatars loved their romantic partner most, but familial motherly love is just as beautiful❤️

Avatar Aasir (Aang) I wanted to try something with Aang. I wondered what Avatar would have looked like had it been an African Folktale? So I played with that and here we are. I ended up basing Aasir's design loosely off the Maasai Tribe of Kenya and Tanzania. With Respects To @bryankonietzko and @mike_dante_d and The Rest Of The Avatar Team.

I sometimes wonder how those who made that Zutara art are doing and if they are still doing art at all or if bryk3 might have scared them off from every making fanart again out of fear for creators publicizing it in front of a big crowd and to mock it again. Last time I checked at least Bryan seemed still pretty proud of it enough to put the video without the crowd reacting on his blog with underneath a copypasted dictionary definition of the word joke.

... Yeah. It’s pretty crappy to think about, given that the age group that the art appears to be from based on skill level (I’d say 10-15?) is when your ego is at its most vulnerable.

Based on his online/interview behavior, Bryan Konietzko has this very... casual, fight-fire-with-fire— Agni-Kai, if you will— mentality with handling his viewerbase. When people rib on him online or mock his decisions as a creator, he enjoys returning the favor in the same tone. He casually prides himself on being a “troll” as a public figure and feels justified in parodying his audience so long as they do the same to him.

Now, I’m not condemning the “saltier tastes of humor” here— I behave this way myself around a very specific group of masculine friends, with whom I have established a deeper relationship beyond humorous jabs to understand that this is okay— but the issue here is that there are levels of power at play here that make that behavior wildly inappropriate. Think about it this way: (very generally speaking) it’s one thing for a child to disregard their parents and say that they hate them, and a very different situation for thoe parents to disregard their child and say that they hate them. You know why? Because there are maturity and control differences that are naturally embedded in that relationship where one person’s voice carries a very different weight than the other’s. I understand that I’ve heard... less than pleasant things about the rallying Zutara fandom back around the time that the show was airing, and maybe he felt like he was entitled to having a voice amongst the japery. But Bryan was/is already in a much higher position of power than the faceless accounts who retaliate against him, so “returning the favor” will never come off as a joking nudge on the shoulder to his younger, more emotionally-fragile audience in the same way they do to him.

Korrasami is not a good pair in my opinion. I think the representation is trying to put out is good, but I think korra as a character works a lot better alone. This is because most of her developement is seen when she is single. And I think I would love to see her in another relationship again with another person. Asami ahs nothing new and just feels dry in her romance even Mako was better (even though the writing wasn’t great tbh). It’s just that whenever they are both together their dialogue doesn’t bounce off each other properly in a natural way for both characters to develop. 

I’d love to see her with Mako again since i think there was a great oportunity for a great relationship there and even the little gimpleses we got at the beginning of the show with their relationship it for sure was better than Misami. I like what the writer is trying to do here, but I just wish she would get someone else, I think korra needs another character for proper developement. And her falling in love after everything she had been through seems not logical to me but who am i to judge.

It’s truly a shame because the whole show has great writing but these two characters don’t belong together and it’s clear in the comics like Tuff Wars.

There are a lot of shippers who will come after me for saying these but i’m not the only one who things this way about this couple. I wish there would be someone else in the romance beside Asami, but knowing the public opinion and how praised their LGBT relationship is even though it’s not dynamic and well developed like the others, they won’t break them up. Cause you know. Shippers would go crazy crying or even call them homophobes. This is what happened to me when I gave my opinion on their relationship. And why Makko was better. I couldn’t care less, Asami could’ve been Asamo a boy and i would’ve still pointed out what my thoughts were.

As a writer myself (I write in spanish so this isn’t my mother language, so forigve me for errors). I think this relationship needs to end to favour the character of Korra. And I get shippers go crazy in panels in tuff wars when they kiss and stuff like that. But their dialogue isn’t dynamic in my opinion.Unlike Makko at the beginning of their relationship (cause it later did had some problems) When we learn about Mako’s past and how it contrasts with Korra’s way of living. Then we got korrasami, the interactions were them talking about their problems and saying things like “i got you” or just being there for them seems to be enough.  Fans were teased with a Mako/Korra reunion, so that's the route I thought they were taking.

People in Tumblr are always shipping characters, normally into LGBT relationships. It wouldn’t suprise me if the writer wanted to please fans, (cause that’s what we sometimes love to do since we own them everything). But I think this wasn’t the good call. I still think Mako and Korra have much more to offer together than Asami. There are good things about these? Of course, how Korra basically likes being the heroine and protecting Asami and Asami says she doesn’t need overprotective Korra. That’s a good dynamic in my opinion. But the bad outweights the good in this in my opinion. First is Mako, we see him get the big F to his character with their relationship, It’s actually the first time i feel bad for a fictional character in a long time haha. He dated both, now they are both dating, and he is alone haha. I just thought it was hilarious and sad. Mako was written dirty. He was such an interesting character in book 1. I think fans may have complained over how Korra wasn’t the dominant one? It’s the only reason i can think of why his character was made blander in Book 2. or why out of nowhere the Korrasami shippers came from. 

I’ve seen a lot of people dislike this relationship, but most are afraid to post their opinion because they would be call “Homophobes”. Now I think Tokuga was well written. 

I think LGBT relationships are all over the media and they are good, like for example, Adventure time MarcelineXPrincessBubblegum and Tracer, korra. Sara Lance, Josh, Soldier 76 between many others. And a lot of them are well written and great. But I think Mako and Korra should have stayed because their relationship was more organic and Mako was actually going somewhere as a character. Right now, he has no personality. None. Actually 0. It feels like the character has no purpose now. And bolin is all over the place, he is doing too much that is nothing at the same time.

I love Avatar and the universe. And i love the character of korra. But I think these new comics don’t have much to offer for her developement as a character and Mako’s reduced to dull personality, which are the main reasons I won’t continue to buy them.

Thanks for reading my opinion on new Avatar comics.

[theartistformerlyknownasangippo]

Tried to draw Appa today. I’m doing a daily warm up routine, and one of the things is to find a master artist and try to emulate their style with lines and sketching. My first pick is Bryan Konietzko, and the easiest place for me to start and get a little insight into how he draws characters was a quick tutorial on how to draw Appa I found on YouTube. If everything I draw starts to look in the style of ATLA it’s because my studies are his work for the next week or so in these warm ups. #appa #atla #flyingbison #avatarthelastairbender #artstudies #sketches #emulatingapro #bryankonietzko https://www.instagram.com/p/CcoKORZLzTO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
