one of my personal favorite dichotomies in atla is how iroh, once the top strategist and highest-ranking general of the fire nation, now directs all his energy and considerable tactical experience towards attempting to keep his teenage nephew from throwing himself into life-threatening situations AND IROH REGULARLY FAILS TO PREVENT HIM FROM DOING SO.

he lead a six-hundred day siege and now iroh can't keep up with a sixteen-year-old armed with two swords and a passionate deathwish. zuko's motto is "act first, think never" and he's running rings around his uncle. it's like!!! who's gonna come out on top, iroh's west point education vs. zuko's deep and abiding commitment to always choosing the stupidest possible course of action, and zuko manages to win every single time

figuring out how i want to draw the gaang

Listen, if Toph had went off on her own for a while in Ba Sing Se there is no way she wouldn't vibe with Zuko.

"Welcome to Pao's Family tea shop, I'm Li, waddaya want?"

"Chaos."

"Understandable. Sadly, that's not on the menu. Would you settle for a cup of Jasmine tea?"

"Sure."

Just about every joke in Avatar: The Last Airbender is peak comedy but conceptually my favorite moment is that scene in The Waterbending Scroll where Zuko’s crew was fighting some pirates and Aang was lost in the middle of a smoke cloud.

Now, Aang being an Airbender, the logical thing to do would be to blow the smoke away, which he does.

This would be funny enough in and of itself, but what really gets me is that Aang just nopes his way out of the situation by… Calling the smoke back?

Like on top of this being the literal only instance of an aerokinetic character blowing smoke away in reverse (not the same thing as kicking up a cloud of dust) just… everyone who was fighting just goes back to fighting each other like that didn’t just happen? Like they didn’t just see the Avatar- who they’re fighting over- is no longer tied up?

This five seconds of animation is just the most beautifully hilarious mess.

Art for TNAoF (The Next Age of Fen!) my fanfic that expands the Avatar world with the next Avatar in the cycle

Since I just dropped Chapter 2 (👀) I figured I'd also share their current character designs. From left to right we have all 3 Jou brothers -- Gai, Fen, and Jichu Jou.

Chapter 3 is projected to drop sometime June 2023

Chapter 2

20 years after Avatar Korra's mysterious disappearance, life continues on for all 4 nations. Having spent his life in an Avatar-less world, we join Earth citizen Fen as he navigates the new age and the new challenges that lay ahead of him. In this fan-made trilogy, it all starts with a nonbender named Fen . . .

Chapter 2 we join Fen as he navigates the delicate balance of family and social hierarchy within today's Ba Sing Se.
