Another underrated emotional moment: Aang burning his glider
That glider was the last material vestige Aang had from his people. Of course he had Appa and Momo, but that glider was HIS, it was a true part of who he was as a person and such a normality for us to see through his adventure
It's very sad how he had to give up the very last material possession he had left from his people. For a kid who’s already gone through so much, to lose something that’s a part of his identity is horrifying
This glider was made by the air nomads. He can never have another one like it. He burned it at the bottom of a volcano to hide his identity as the Avatar
"The Awakening" is an extremely underrated episode.
Hey just a little reminder before you get too frustrated/angry with our boy:
You don’t know what was communicated with him beforehand regarding the cost/profit of a EU tour and I believe he does not make enough money with this music right now to not take money into consideration.
The interview is not even fully translated yet and if you don’t speak Finnish you probably do not know the full context of his answers at this point in time.
He has a right to be disappointed by not making money while traveling through 7(!!!) country’s. Also from what I gathered this was a financial advice webinar so this was literally a big part of the convo lmao
You know he loves his Fans but he has to live. And touring is expensive and tiresome.
So in conclusion: You better buy the merch he will be bringing. I know I will.
All he wanted to do was get his leg patched up. Now he’s being forced under anesthesia so an unqualified and dangerous group of vets can get him to lay still…
This lovely little guy is @ratcatcher0325 ‘s Alexander from A Fraction of Justice (specifically the 22nd chapter). I wholeheartedly recommend reading the work if you enjoy angst with a dash of comfort!
Aki Hayakawa kept his relationship with you a secret from Denji and Power for a while. He didn’t want to deal with their constant teasing nor did he want them to even think about trying any of their “pranks” on you. He often snuck you into his room late at night when they were both asleep to have some alone time with you. One night, you both overslept and the two sneaked into his room to mess around with him and both cackled loudly when they see you cuddle up against him in bed. Aki gets frustrated as warns them to never pull a prank on you. They only listened to him because he promised to buy them ice cream. And they liked you for being nice to them so they didn’t want to mess with you too much lol ♡
akajsjdh hold on! an aki ask omg i was not prepared for this!! 🫣
AAA but poor aki — what if you aren’t even aware that your relationship is a secret to denji and power, you just think aki is really specific about when you two have your “alone time” (but most of the time it’s not even sex, he just like sleeping with you and you wonder why he’s so sneaky about it but you don’t think to question it)
i can just imagine his eyes shooting wide open when he hears denji and power laughing too!!! he gets up SO QUICK that you barely have time to figure out what’s happening before he’s pushing them out and locking the door. all the while they’re still cackling
i was reading a choose your own adventure professor utonium book on archive.org (called the professor’s monkey business, tumblr won’t let me link to it, sorrryyyy 😭) the other day and i cried when i got to this section because WHY WOULD HE CHOOSE THIS LIE???? 💀
Rome continues to have the worst time every damn episode. less than 2 weeks ago he was in California finally on the same side as the sibs and feeling happy. Now he’s gonna have a breakdown at the funeral giving a eulogy
Fun fact: The top left is both a jazzercise outfit reveal and a pose practice sketch. He probably would’ve gone for a proper leotard, but either he thought it wouldn’t fit or none of them came in his size.
Bonus head-canon to explain the bottom two sketches: I’m very sure Mrs. Afton took random photos of her and William sometimes, so that’s how these pictures would’ve shown up in-universe. Too bad her combined loves of him and photography turned into postmortem fuel for humiliation.
