i have no idea if this blog is still active but its worth a shot. during the big bang the mods used a bot to mass move everyone into their team channels, what was the name of that bot?

Hello! The bot is not widely available, it was made by someone for the mods

[atla-bigbang]

hi!! what date do you think the 2021 atla big bang will be happening?

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. We were thinking same as the 2020 one, so starting around July

A piece I did for @atla-bigbang but my group bailed on me lowkey so here it is with zero context.

[Image Description: Zuko and Sokka are standing in the center, hugging close. Sokka has both arms wrapped over Zuko’s shoulders and is holding a small bouquet of red peonies in one hand pressed against Zuko’s back. We’re looking down on them with pillars of a watch tower surrounding the two and has a mixture of warm and cold feeling, with the foreground beeing more warm. In the background is the southpole after war, modern-like buildings everywhere.]

Photography for A Little More Time (Kill Me Later, Love Me Now)

Recovery: A process of moving forward. And moving back.

The group leaves Zuko for two weeks. Just two weeks. That’s how long it took for him to become convinced they were trying to kill him.

[IMAGE ID 1: A collection of objects on a wooden table with a dark background. A clear bottle with shimmering blue contents and a bright maroon scarf with purple tints dominate the frame, set on a gold plate. Cradled by these three are a string of blue beads, twists of blue and brown leather strips, gold coins, smooth beach rocks, and an amulet with the Air Nomads symbol. The photograph is brightly lit, with a white-blue tint and subtle shadows.]

[IMAGE ID 2: Everything from the previous photograph has been topped or flipped. The bottle has fallen over, with the scarf and plate flipped and collapsed on top. The bottle is now filled with black liquid, and the scarf has taken on a tint similar to flames. The other objects are scattered underneath all of this. The frame has been cropped in a little, so the chaos fills the image. The lighting has also changed, so the shadows are deeper and darker, and the entire thing is tinted red.]

Art for As They Emerged From the Killing Fields

[IMAGE ID: A papercraft portrait of Zuko from the chest up in a color scheme of greens and browns. A papercraft tea set and serving tray are in front of him. His background is a green tinted underwater shot of the ocean. All of this we see through a hole being burnt through a white piece of paper. END ID]

“Zuko grabs his arm to keep him from tripping over, and then they’re looking up at each other, chest to chest, a breath’s width apart.”

Here’s my fanart from the amazing @zukkababey’s fanfic That Midnight Sky for the @atla-bigbang!!! This is based on that one scene in Chapter 8 (but make it Zuko’s POV HAHAHA) God, I’m so weak for rooftop scenes 😩🤟

New Constellations

Written for the ATLA Big Bang 2020!! Hosted by @atla-bigbang

Rating: T

Type: Gen

Summary: "Every star in the sky is another sun somewhere out there, farther away than we could ever imagine.“

When Zuko is banished from the Fire Nation, he leaves with a ship, an impossible task, and a newfound fear of his own element. As he’s offered the chance to learn navigation by the stars and the myths that weave constellations into the sky, he has a chance too, to learn how to appreciate fire once more and how to look at the world in a different light.

Warnings: panic attacks, anxiety attacks, off-screen character death, grief, healing wounds

Chapters: 1 of 2

———————————————————————————————————–

Three weeks out from the Western Air Temple, twenty one days of sailing away from the islands that Zuko had always called home, he woke in a cold sweat.  This wasn’t a rare occurrence these days.  These nights when he’d jolt awake in his hard metal ship’s cabin, face aching, feeling like he was tearing apart at the seams from dreams of Father’s hands, of Azula’s pleased laughter as she had watched Father read the proclamation of his banishment.

Zuko had gotten used to turning toward the wall and curling into himself, where he would tremble either until he dropped back into a fitful, exhausted sleep, or the rising sun would beat him to it.  Tonight something extra roiled in his stomach; maybe the fish they had eaten for dinner wasn’t agreeing with him.  He levered himself out of bed and stumbled toward the door.  A turn of the crank, and he was out into the dark hallway.  There were no windows here to cast light on his unsteady steps, and so he continued until he hit the wall, slumped into it, and turned right.

Why don’t you make a light for yourself, firebender?   The voice in his head sounded a lot like Father, and was just as demanding, just as disappointed.  His stomach gave another unsteady lurch, and he had to stop for a moment and hunch over in the corridor as he fought for control over his breath.  Finally, Zuko moved forward again, shuffling along with his shoulder to the wall until he came to the doorway out onto deck.

The door swinging forward was a visceral relief, as the cool night air hit his face.  Zuko slipped out and let it shut quietly behind him.  He didn’t even spare a thought for if any of the crew might be watching as he dashed to lean over the railing near the prow.  Here the wind chilled the sweat that had collected at the edges of his bandage, and his stomach finally settled as he breathed in the scent of salt air slowly.

He felt better out here in the cool and the dark, where no one could look at him, or if they did, where he couldn’t see the looks on their faces.  The stars trailed thick and bright down to the horizon to meet the water, broken here and there by the dark shape of a cloud.  This was better.  Looking at the stars didn’t hurt.

Art tiiiiiime!! Here's my second contribution to the 2020 ATLA Big Bang (@atla-bigbang)!! For this piece, I partnered up with the incredible author (and fellow book nerd) @burnt-oranges, who wrote The Search, which I've definitely not reread four times already. Please, please check it out, it's an amazing, beautifully written Zuko-centric story! I'm not super happy with how this artwork turned out, so honestly I might redo it- but that'll have to be later. In the meantime, this was one of my favorite scenes of Zuko in the spirit world!

And of course, shout-out to the other people in our group- @just-a-little-in-over-my-head, my amazing fellow artist who created this fantastic artwork, as well as @rideboldlyride, @geekinthecorner, and @the-bisexual-disaster, the awesome betas! I loved working on this bang with everyone, and it was so cool to meet you all! It really made this nightmare of a timeline infinitely better.

[Image ID: A traditional drawing done in varying shades of blues, whites, and silvers. Zuko sits in front of a large tree, with his Blue Spirit mask halfway off of his face. In one hand he holds one of his dao swords, with the other on his back. Around him are the outlines of more large trees, and a scattering of glowing white lights that float in the air above him. Silver plants and mushrooms dot the forest floor, and vague shadows are in the background. END ID]

My art for @rideboldlyride’s fic Sulfur and Lightning! I genuinely almost cried. That’s really, really rare for me. I never physically cry over fiction. It’s an au where Mai dies and it’s so good. For the @atla-bigbang

[IMAGE ID: a moodboard with ten images, split into three columns and four rows, the leftmost image taking up 3/4 of the rows in its column. Taking the columns left to right, the rows top to bottom, the images are: a splintered bit of lightning against a dark sky; a woman with dark, wavy hair with her back turned to the camera. The second column has a young woman crying into her sleeve, an image of the moon, crinkled white satin sheets, and an elaborate, lush bedframe. The final column is a shot of someone walking across a tightrope, our perspective looking up from beneath them; a raging fire; a lush look into a ravine; a pile of ashes. END ID]

Well, here’s a little something different from me.

This is for the @atla-bigbang, and i can’t thank the amazing mods enough for all the hard work they put into organizing this event– it’s awe-inspiring! You guys are the best!

And my crew of amazing content creators, you guys are the reason this story actually made it to page. @burnt-oranges @oceantail-oceantail @geekinthecorner Thank you for shaping my ramblings and vague concepts into ideas I could actually work with, and sentences that made sense. 

The artists– just wait till you see what they have in store! @wingsdingsandpurplethings and @houser-of-stories you beautiful people you…. <3. A special thanks to @oceantail-oceantail for surprising me with a little bit of both! Keep your ears open for a surprise shorty, embedded in the story (once I actually get my coding down right…. ;-;) 

And a particular thanks to my good friend @ifyouwereamelodymeg who gave me a fresh look on my works, which pushed me over the edge and got me to freaking finish the story. 

Now, without further ado: 

The Summary:

Like the ripples in water, repercussions follow action, or inaction. When Zuko left, he knew that he would hurt Mai. There was just no way around it. When he showed up at the Boiling Rock, Sokka in tow, he knew that there would be a lot of risk, including to himself. When Mai showed up, his letter in hand, at the Boiling Rock, he knew that it was time for a reckoning. 

Except - It wasn’t in that cell. No, his reckoning was as he watched Mai, standing tall, face down Azula. It was when he watched his sister slide into her stance, watched Mai pull her senbon, watched Ty Lee bolt into action. Mai was fast, yes, but there’s little else in the world faster than lightning. 

Now, there were new consequences.

Summary (Gen):

When Zuko is 13, Ozai declares that there are no conditions under which Zuko can return home–Zuko is banished. Permanently. However, Iroh offers Zuko a source of hope in a different quest: to find his mother, Ursa.

Zuko spends three futile years searching for his mother. Then the Avatar returns to the world.

Welcome Home, son: MY ATLA BIG BANG FIC

On this the Day of the Faithful Dead I am Honored to Present my Entry in the Avatar: The Last Airbender Big Bang for 2020. 

https://archiveofourown.org/works/27357244

It is only the prologue and the first chapter, but I will be posting one chapter a day for the next week until it is complete. 

It’s been genuinely hard to write every single one of those words on that page. I am ever so grateful to beep (@duck-is-duck) and sunny (@beepboopbitch) for their support. Beep was an excellent beta-reader and sunny made an awesome playlist for the fic, which you can find on Spotify. 

I also want to thank the Big Bang mods shelby (@shelbychild), jay (@wisom-walks-alone) and mel (@darlinglissa) for their hard work organizing the Bang and for their support!

I hope you enjoy the fic!

Five times Suki was maybe flirting with Sokka and one time she definitely was.

huge massive thanks to my betas @beepboopbitch, @randomgirlyoudontknow, and @rideboldlyride! y’all have been such a big help.

Art for @earthbendz’s fic The Law of Love I’m Bound To! It’s so good, guys. It’s an absolutely gorgeous Sokka/Suki modern AU and I love it so much. For the @atla-bigbang.

[ID: A moodboard comprised of ten images edited together with white borders in between them. The first and largest image shows a city skyline with a blue sky and purple clouds in the background. The next image, the first in the top row on the right, depicts a wall of art and advertisements plastered together. The image next to it in this row shows two figures from the back wearing backpacks and modern clothes and walking across a parking lot. In the next row, there is a screenshot of a bay from Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the next photo in this row is a boat streaming across the water with two people inside. The row beneath this has two pictures, the first showing two iced coffees next to each other on a table. The second picture, which is slightly larger, shows a cozy bedroom with string lights and an organized desk area. The final row on the bottom of the photo has three images. The first is a library corner with shelves filled with books. The second is a close-up on aesthetically pleasing math notes. The final image in the moodboard is a pretty picture of the sky during a sunset, with red and orange clouds. End ID.]
