#relationship wise opal is bi

[dollfat]

giving into the [outlander] peer pressure and deciding opal moved to the city after leaving the wilderness. probably around age 13.

her and her mom took whatever shitty jobs they could, usually physically demanding and not always legal. neither were especially good at socializing and opal was overwhelmed by all the people and noise. she still thinks of the Outlands as her home.

[wastetimeandtype]

SO another AU I came up with was the ‘Mako and Bolin Zaofu AU’ which was really weird and never fully thought through so it is DEAD but you know people might find it interesting.

So pre-book 1 Suyin is in Republic City for some conference about city design or something with Baatar Sr and like whoop she bumps into 10 year old Bolin who tries to rob her and gives her a sob story about his brother being really sick. She gives him twenty and tells him to scram. Later she bumps into him again (what a coincidence) and like he’s upset because his brother is sick and she thinks it might not be a lie. She pays for Mako to see a doctor. Later she starts feeling sorry for them so she decides to bring them to Zaofu. Baatar is like ‘you can’t save every child’ but Suyin is like ‘I’m doing a good thing shut up’. Bolin is like super happy to but Mako is more cautious about this random lady wanting to help them but she wins him round and gives him 200 hundred yuans to buy tickets back to Republic CIty if he hates it.

So they live in Zaofu where they have school and shit and grow up happy and well. They live in like a children’s home with Kuvira (I wrote this before the comics) but meet with the Beifong family fairly regularly. Mako and Bolin become fairly close with them and get into all sorts of shenanigans with the twins and Opal. Bolin loves Zaofu wholeheartedly. Mako feels a little more at odds with Zaofu and feels useless/alienated in this metalbending City

Bolin struggles with school and eventually metalbends, but badly. His career is in the theatre. Bolin becomes close with Opal but he’s like oblivious to her obvious feelings. There’s a prom and Bolin almost goes with someone else and Opal is upset but tries not to show it and Mako tells Bolin he is a dumb boy. Bolin realises his mistake and goes with Opal and they start to date and they have a very steady relationship.

Mako excels at school unlike Bolin, and learns lightning bending. He has a short relationship with a girl in school which ends when he’s accused of being insensitive. He doesn’t become a police officer because Zaofu has a low crime rate and it is a boring job so he becomes some sort of like, logistics officer in the security forces, i.e. he helps move people around. He meets a soldier named Seung who is totally into him and Mako is like ‘what? but okay i guess’ and they start to date and have a terrible on again off again relationship. Mako takes the relationship seriously but struggles to open up; Seung opens up a lot but when Mako doesn’t, Seung doesn’t take the relationship that seriously and acts flippant/eyes wander etc, they break up but then usually make up some months later. Rinse and repeat like four times.

Bolin develops a fairly obvious hatred for Seung that he is shocked that people know about. He really wishes Mako would do better, and Bolin has had a pretty steady relationship for a couple of years now so he’s the ‘wise’ one and just doesn’t get this relationship at all if it makes Mako unhappy. Basically Mako still has relationship problems but it’s Bi now so it’s better.

Meanwhile sometimes they go ‘wow heard of those equalists in Republic City? Glad we’re not there’ or ‘heard the southern watering just got invaded!’. Korra and Asami meet at the party in book 1 and become friends without any jealously (like Korra broke into the probending arena and was immediately kicked out). But the plot of TLOK happens generally the same without Mako and Bolin. But the major events of book 1 and 2 happen. Opal then develops airbending and the air nation and Korra and Asami come round to meet them. Bolin tries to pair Mako with one of them during a dinner he has with them and Opal as well as he isn’t dating Seung at this point. Mako is like ‘wait which one’ and Bolin is like ‘I don’t know’ and this is the stupidest plot point but I wanted to make fun of the love triangle. Opal states bluntly at the end of the ‘date’ that they’re clearly into eachother than and that boys are dumb.

Anyway book 3 happens in some form. Bolin learns lavabending and they help save the airbenders at the end.

Meanwhile Kuvira always got along well with Mako and Bolin but Bolin finds her hard to get along with as an adult and Mako realises she’s kind of racist towards him. But then she decides to leave Zaofu with the troops and stabilise Ba Sing Se. Bolin is enamoured and decides to join but Mako is like ‘but she’s a dick towards firebenders.’ And Bolin is like ‘you must be mistaken Kuvira is great!’ And Mako is like ‘please listen to me’ and Bolin ignores him. They have a massive falling out over it and Bolin leaves. Seung also leaves with Kuvira so that relationship is also dead.

But anyway time skip three years Seung is on the frontlines and learns of the re-education camps and learns that fire and water benders are being sent to them. He manages to meet Bolin and is like “mako was right!” Bolin doesn’t believe Seung af first but comes around when he realises Seung is being serious and has nothing to gain from lying to him (Seung also hated Bolin and thought he was a meddling prick). They try and escape Kuvira captures them and they go to a re-education camp.

Meanwhile Mako has been chilling in Zaofu as normal. Zaofu is eventually invaded. The Beifongs don’t kneel to the Empire and Mako intends to do so as well but Baatar is like ‘hey no I trust you look after the city whilst we’re gone!” But obvs this goes tits up when Mako is taken prisoner for being a firebender by Kuvira’s regime. He’s like ‘where’s Bolin?’ And Kuvira lies and says he’s fighting for he good cause and believes in the Empire wholeheartedly. Mako sort of believes her?

Meanwhile Bolin’s breaks out of prison I guess and tries to get to Zaofu but by this point it’s overrun so he goes to Republic City and gets involved with defeating the colossus.

Meanwhile Mako is in a camp and bumps into Seung again, because of course he does. Mako is pretty much done at this point but they try and plan a break out.

But hooray, the colossus is defeated (idk how if Mako isn’t there to blow it up I never thought through how the tlok plot would really happen without Bolin and Mako tbh) and they’re re-united. Mako is peeved he wasn’t listened to but he does forgive Bolin.

Anyway Mako is sick of Zaofu st this point so Bolin suggest they try and trace their family in Ba Sing Se. They go to Ba Sing Se, and Seung asks if he and Mako can keep in touch, and they agree. The two brothers venture off to reconnect with their past.

And that’s the AU! If you asked me what the actual point of this fanfic is, I wouldn’t know.

Aquamarine Stone for Happiness and Wealth

Soft, sublime, and blue, aquamarines have a distinct look and color that makes them stand apart amongst all other gemstones. The lovely color of this stone reflects clear blue skies and the serene seas. The most admired quality of aquamarines is that they flatter most skin tones and eye color, the main reason behind their popularity with the ladies. (Read: Uses of Opal Stone)

Aquamarines get their name from the Latin words 'aqua' meaning sea and 'mare' meaning water. These charming stones have forever been associated with water. Greek soldiers in ancient times wore aquamarine amulets to protect themselves from the rage of sea gods. Some legends also say that aquamarines were first discovered in the treasure trunk of mermaids.

The alluring aquamarines possess many qualities. Where on the one hand they cure insomnia, on the other hand, they are considered effective for eye problems mainly short-sightedness. It is said that Germans used aquamarine crystals as eyeglasses to prevent shortsightedness. Aquamarines are positive stones that bring in a feeling of cheerfulness. Besides, the soothing color of aquamarines is believed to bring about feelings of belief, harmony, and camaraderie. Anybody sporting an aquamarine is said to benefit with happiness and wealth.

(Read: Benefits of Peridot Stone)

The most fascinating feature of aquamarine lies in its color. A lovely shade of clear sky blue that the stone reflects is ultimately beautiful. The value and worth of aquamarines are also determined by the color of these stones. The color in an aquamarine range from light blue to sky blue and teal. While a deep shade of blue is preferred and coveted in aquamarines, personal preferences may lead one to bluish-green or greenish-blue varieties of the stone. A wise aquamarine buy would be to go for a stone that has a good cut in a lighter shade that will sparkle like a diamond minus the price tag.

Aquamarines have fewer inclusions as compared to other gemstones. These stones have good clarity with very few inclusions. While buying an aquamarine it is a good idea to opt for a stone with more carat weight which will enhance both the color as well as clarity of the stone. Aquamarines like most other gemstones are heat treated. Heat treatment being permanent in nature preserves the beauty of these stones. (Read: Uses of Ruby Stone)

Aquamarines were first discovered in Madagascar. The 'Santa Maria' varieties of this stone found mainly in Brazil have created a storm in the jewelry world for their sheer beauty. Other sources of aquamarines are Tanzania, Kenya, and Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Russia.

Whether aquamarine rings, aquamarine earrings, or aquamarine pendants, these stones stand out in every form of jewelry. Teamed with diamonds or alone, aquamarines make a mark due to their innate charm

Aquamarine Birthstone - The Fantastic Facts

Simply beautiful aquamarine gemstone has numerous interesting facts associated with it. (Read: Uses of Sapphire Stone)

Name: The name itself is an interesting fact about this exotic gemstone. Coining two Latin words, 'Aqua' and 'mare' the word aquamarine is formed. This phrase in Latin means 'Water of the sea'. Birthstone aquamarine simply resembles the deep ocean waters in color and transparency. Aquamarine birthstone is crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.

Color & Iron in It: The distinctive blue-green color of aquamarine gems are pleasing to the eyes and soothing to the soul. The trace amount of iron present in aquamarine crystalline structure is responsible for its teasing blue shades that range from pale blue of the sky to that of the sea. Aquamarine with a tint of green is not uncommon. In fact, naturally occurring pale yellow aquamarine gems are heat treated artificially to get those darker shades of blue and green.

Size: Aquamarine gemstones are available in a wide range of sizes. Generally, mineral collectors would prefer stones of relatively large size. For jewelry, the designers would prefer small gems that fit into jewels like pendants, rings, bangles, etc. Aquamarine gems come in sizes that are liked by both the collectors and the designers. (Read: Uses of Topaz Stone)

Hardness: Hardness is an important parameter of any gemstone. Aquamarine stones have a desirable hardness that ranges from 7 to 8 in the Mohs scale. This is a relatively good value compared to that of other popular gemstones. It means that the durability of aquamarine gems is very good and it can host a variety of cuts favored by modern jewel designers. Hardness of aquamarine, which is relatively fair, makes it suitable for designing ultra-modern jewels that are attractive and distinguishable. (Read: Uses of Tourmaline Stone)

Cousin of Emerald: Aquamarine stones belong to the same beryl family as that of the green emerald. Highly prized aquamarines are equally sparkling and sizzling like its cousin emerald. Aquamarine rough though primarily available in blue shades, sometimes comes as a bi-color stone with a tint of green of emerald.

Source: Aquamarine gemstone mines are the present world over. Popular countries that contain aquamarine mines are Brazil, Nigeria, Namibia, Pakistan, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, etc. The mining of aquamarine is a simple and harmless process that is clearly environmentally friendly.

Cut: Aquamarine stones are naturally available as hexagonally shaped crystals and they are naturally faceted ones. Their surface has flat facets of the crystal that reflect the light interestingly making the gemstones more beautiful. To make, particularly the darker stones, aquamarine gems can be cut into more attractive cabochons.

March Birthstone: Aquamarine is the birthstone of March. It is the lucky gem of Pisceans.
