The trio flew on through the sunset, until Tui rose above them, pulling the colour out of the sky as if she were weaving onyx black strands of soft wool into the most beautiful of tapestries. Katara settled on her back, tugging her fur lined overcoat closer, huddled against Sokka, who was in turn huddled against Aang for warmth. Moonlight and starlight bathed the three in enough light that neither Katara nor Aang could sleep, although Sokka seemed to be snoring away just fine. After a few hours of fruitless attempts to slip into dreamland, both Katara and Aang rose from their respective spots beside Sokka and moved to sit in the driver’s bench.

“Trouble sleeping too, huh?” Aang cocked a grin, tilting his head to Katara. She kept her eyes fixed upwards, trained on the moon and the stars, worried that if she looked away, she’d end up staring into his eyes like a weirdo. 

“I always feel so awake with the moon’s light on me. Sleeping under the stars has never really been a thing that works. It’s too energising, too… too much. It’s hard to explain.”

“No, no… I get it. I feel the same way in a windstorm, all those breezes and gusts of wind, it feels… exhilarating.” She watched through her peripheral vision as he looked up at the moon. “In times of war, I think we all tend to forget how spiritual bending is at its core. I’d say it’s a good thing that you’re in touch enough with the origins of your abilities to feel the moon’s pull tug at you just as much as it does on the ocean.” Katara raised an eyebrow at the cheesy sincerity, and he chuckled in response. “I’m serious! Out of all the nations, Airbenders have the highest rate of benders, and I’ve always felt like it’s because of how much we connect to the spiritual aspect of all of this. We feel our element through our veins, we acknowledge its origins, we treat it as a sacred art.”

Katara nodded, puzzling it all over. “I wish I’d gotten to learn bending as a child properly, the way you did, with the stories of its origins and the teaching of precise bending forms.”

Aang’s brows wrinkled at this. “You- you didn’t get a teacher? But… weren’t you the one to break me out of the iceberg?”

“You’re looking at the last Waterbender of the Southern Tribe.” She sighed, hanging her head. “Everything I know about my bending was either made up through trial and error, or scraped together by bits and pieces of the few bending scrolls my tribe held on to. We’ve never believed in building fortresses and kingdoms the way the Northern Tribe does, and so, when the Fire Nation raids began… our waterbending numbers just continued to dwindle as they were defeated and taken to Spirits know where.” She bit her lip, trying desperately to steady her voice.

“That's… that’s how my mother passed. I was there, in the tent, when she was…killed.”

Alright everyone, I NEED you to go watch the new live action avatar.

Because despite everything, and I never thought I’d say this, it was good.

Now, don’t expect it to be exactly like the cartoon, because unlike it’s source material it has a darker undertone (which makes sense given it’s a live action, and not a cartoon catered towards a younger audience) but other than that I think it’s a overall pretty great adaptation. It reorders and removes and changes things but nothing feels unnecessary for the shift in theme they made.

Needless to say, go into it with an open mind and not so cemented in the idea everything needs to stay the same. If everything was the same there would be no need for a live action. The only difference would be that you can see the actors and at that point just go watch the original again. The adaptation took the source material and molded it into something different, but definitely enjoyable, and with people set in hating it for frankly obstinate reasonings, it’s not going to get a season two. And that would be a travesty because I for one, am dying to see where they takes this.

What a fun art challenge! Well, here it is, my fandom resume, I added in little extras too. *proceeds to play "Simple and Clean" badly on a recorder*

And these ones pretty much confiscated head space for all time.

I don't choose the special interests; the special interests choose me.

idk if it’s just me but the whole “which atla kid in the gaang is the most mature” debates can get redundant and kind of exhausting at times. they’re kids. they’re multifaceted characters. they’re mature in some departments and immature in others. they have their strengths and weaknesses. also they’re kids lol.

At some point y'all are gonna have to confront the fact that you think brown men are ugly.I go on Atsv pinterest regularly and memes mocking Miguel O'Hara's apperance are an entire genre and it's almost never the funny goofy ahh expressions he's given but just him existing,the Atla fandom is constantly degarding Sokka in contrast to Zuko in terms of appeal and reducing Jet down to sleazebag runner up for Katara(very important note that no Kataang shipper does this and that most Jet stans are also Aang stans),Damian Wayne isn't even a brown man but a lil 15 year brown boy and gets whitewashed in fanon even more than in canon which is saying A LOT for the purpose of making him more attractive by orientalist pedos,Bruno Madrigal is reduced down to a joke and compared to rodents as if he dosen't just look like a normal ass mestizo man-Hell,he looks like my stepdad!!!If you saw him or my neighbours,you'd make a joke to not hurl and i'd punch your teeth out for it

Starfire (the 2003 animated version) is my favorite character of all time. I love her. I think she's an inspiration, a role model and the definition of a true hero.

When I say this character has helped me through the absolute worst of times, I mean it. She's given me joy when I've had none. She's brought me hope when I've felt there's none left. She's helped me more than I can possibly describe.

And it saddens me that she doesn't get the love and appreciation she deserves, not even from her own show.

So that is the point of this post. To show her some damn appreciation.
