#alta talks

[chef-alta]

I don't have access to netflix anymore atm, but I still somehow found myself hyperfixating on VLD content even though I haven't been active in the fandom in like...5-6 years xD Specifically Galra-related content, especially the Blade of Marmora, since I was obsessed with those mfs when the show was still running

And then I somehow got myself obsessed with rarepairs that haven't had active fandoms/new content in the last two years, cuz I torture myself :')))

#vld #blade of marmora #galra #i just think theyre neat #listen ive been consuming so much galra/bom-centric fics for the last month and a bit help- #also the rarepairs ive been obsessed over are uliro and sendaxus #pls inject the uliro content into my bloodstream #also i used to be super gei for thace and kolivan #...who am i kidding im still gei for them lmao #alta talks

zuko tenzin and mako should make a fumbling bad bitches support group

#tlok #Alta #zuko is forgiven bc they were only together bc of comphet in the first place #sokka gives them motivational talks from his ‘never fumbled a bad bitch in my life’ throne

[aangsfrogs]

Pirate!au where Zuko and Sokka are captains of their own fleets and end up liking each other so much they decide to “co-captain” and it’s totally not gay

#atla #zuko #zukka #sokka #finn talks #my art #it’s very gay #they meet up and kiss #this is basically a atla OFMD au but with less heartbreak cause OFMD IS SO GOOD BUT MAKES ME CRY #Pirate Zuko #pirate sokka #Alta pirates #atla au #zukka pirates #avatar the last airbender #fanart #I’m really proud with how Sokka came out. it was a difficult peice

[bigquestionmark]

the way people treat ozai and ursa is so similar to how people treat jiang fengmian and yu ziyuan

#like one was a genuine abuser who emotionally and/or physically abused their kids #(IM NOT JUST TALKING ABT ZUKO AND WWX ALL THE KIDS WERE ABUSED!!!!!) #and one was a parent who made mistakes and was trying to parent well in a toxic situation #seeing people treat them as equally abusive annoys me so much #jiang fengmian #yu ziyuan #ursa alta #ozai alta #fire lord ozai #alta #avatar the last airbender #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #the grandmaster of demonic cultivation

This is mostly for Zutarians, but I guess it can be for anyone who wants to talk about this.

I have a theory that Zuko does not have any game whatsoever. He's too shy and dorky for that. However!

However...

I do believe he has rare moments of unexpected rizz.

Hear me out. It's the little dramatic lines of dialogue he has. Very rarely does this work and it's 101% never intentional, but when it works, it works.

Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this.

#zutara #atla zuko #guess for anyone who wants to talk about this? #this was just a random thought #not witch related #not witchcraft #alta meta #Zuko meta

As cinematically beautiful as the live-action atla looks, the fact that they removed part of Sokka's character arc/growth does not inspire much hope in me that it will actually be good because clearly they do not understand the characters

#plenty of people have already talked about WHY this is bad so i dont feel the need to elaborate lol #alta #avatar the last airbender #atla live action #yeah it looks pretty but if you maim the characters then whats the point #no wonder the original writers left the project #i was already skeptical from that alone tbh but still trying to be optimistic #i am now less optimistic lol

people who are getting so mad about every detail of the live action just chill out challenge

Can you tell me about ur version of LJ?

Sure!

In TATA, Laughing Jack is an Alta Esterian, literally meaning "tall being" (very literally), and for context, Alta Esterians are titanic creatures that are born of the earth. So they can come from trees, bodies of water, and even remains of old settlements. Depending on where they come from they will look different!

Laughing Jack is a very very unique AE, and, while he comes from the same forest Slenderman came from (the Hercynian Forest), he looks very different from what an AE of his species should look. Slenderman is the standard of their species, as Splendor and Foss are as well. LJ is different because he did not come into being until after the tree he was borne from was cut down.

A noble in France had an incredibly old tree cut down from where the Hercynian Forest once was, and some of the wood was used to carve a jack-in-the-box for his son. This was around the 15th century! The jack-in-the-box was specifically made from a tree that actually had an "emergent" AE, meaning they were still forming. The soul's core remained in the wood that was used for the jack-in-the-box, so no, there are no LJ siblings running around unfortunately.

LJ became the "imaginary" friend of the noble's son, and was that boy's best friend his entire short life. After the death of the son, when he was about 12 years old, LJ revealed himself to the father, in hopes of giving who he also considered his own father comfort. He was seen as a monster, and was attacked and run out. He bolted, fleeing into the forest with his box in hand. He spent the next few centuries running across the European continent, protecting child after child as long as he safely could, until he found himself in North America around the 1960s.

His box was being thrown around for quite a while, but after his last owner (a boy who had grown up to be brutally tortured and murdered as a prisoner of war in WWII), he had refused to reveal himself. In 1964, he was found by a 20 yr old man from Ontario named Isaac. This is not actually the Isaac of LJ's og story, I just wanted to give a reference to him cuz I think that's fun. Isaac ended up being the first adult he ever protected, as Isaac was a very depressed and mentally ill man, and LJ essentially became the reason the man did not end up taking his life. He was passed down in Isaac's family until 2013, where the family was murdered in a very random and brutal attack.

It was an incredibly sadistic, violent attack that occurred, and LJ failed to protect the family in time, as he was downstairs in his box where he is kept, and the family was upstairs asleep. They were all tortured rather brutally, and when the killer came down the stairs and LJ saw him from inside the box, he revealed himself and ended up tearing the man limb from limb. When he found them all, the anguish caused him to lose his color. He holds their corpses inside the void of his body, and still carries them to this day. After he had pulled them all inside him, he fled the house with his box, and ended up falling through an opened Gate to Home. He actually knew of Slenderman a bit, as he had come across Der Grossman himself a couple times during the World Wars, which was shortly before he ended up in North America. He was very weak, and very sick from losing his color (which for him is essentially the equivalent to having your entire identity stripped away and your soul is laid bare and vulnerable, technical term would be Mosten in TATA), and Slender and EJ immediately agreed that he could stay.

Nowadays, he is actually a proxy of Moen! Though all he does is take care of the rose garden in the greenhouse, which he almost never leaves. His closest friends are Slender, Sally and EJ. Benil is rather fond of him as well! He's very sweet, very big and old guy. He is actively on his last legs at the start of TATA itself, and his "Legacy" is the first one Twitch meets.

kinda think it’s weird that zuko’s scar looks so…mild in the live action. like they just drew a red splotch with little flame details in it and thought they ate. like they look right at what everyone in the fandom writes/draws/wants and did the complete opposite… make it a bit horrifying. make it intimidating. make it real.

but it’s obvious with the other choices they’re making for the characters that they don’t understand how big a part zuko’s scar (and what came with it) play in his overall character, and the entire series itself.

#but i feel like they didn’t do enough… research into burns?? it looks v strange #like #THEYRE the ones talking ab making alta a ‘drama’ and ‘serious’ or whatever so why wouldn’t they pay more attention or put more effort into #that? #over all not jazzed for the live action show #just v obvious they don’t understand core parts struggles and arcs of the characters and how those impact the plot #they’re just too plot focused #which is sadly what a lot of media is today. which sucks bc the characters are such a big and important part of stories??? #if not more important than the plot sometimes??? #if i don’t like ur characters ill stop just as fast as i would if i didn’t like ur plot #smh #live action #live action atla #live action avatar #alta #alta series #zuko #zuko’s scar #scar #burn scar

I think that we as a society need to accept that some animated shows are best left animated

#not everything needs a live action #yes im talking about avatar obviously #how many times do we have to do this shit #avatar the last airbender #avatar #alta #atla live action #avatar live action #cactus talks

My husband fucking hates Azula (fair) but meanwhile every time we see her I just think about how much a foil she is to Zuko and how they much they reflect the parents that “chose” them.

Ursa and Iroh were clear parental figures to Zuko from a young age, not really developing a close bond with Azula. Meanwhile, Azula was groomed by her father to be his perfect tool, where he was the one constantly encouraging her.

Zuko has several flaws, most of which stem from the neglect and abuse from his father, but he is good at his core and he has Iroh to guide him. Meanwhile, Ozai encourages all of Azula’s flaws, pushing her further into villainy.

#update to watching avatar with my husband - we just saw Zuko alone and we were both destroyed #and these two siblings fucking kill me. how they’re perfect foils to each other and how they mirror the messed up dynamics of their family #ngl I saw the scene were Iroh gives zuko a knife from a general and azula a doll and I just.. had to talk about that difference to someone #but it’s not like I can spoil anything for him! #ughh and during ember island when azula is like ‘my own mother thought I was a monster…. she was right of course but it still hurt’ #it’s not nature vs nurture it’s nature AND nurture #unded rambles #alta #g don’t look #this is not meant to be an analysis I’m just talking to myself

Idk about y’all, but throughout my schooling from second grade to present day in college, I have been taught the idea of “show dont tell”. So I would LOVE to know where other writers and authors missed that lesson.

#I mean did they just not understand??? #why is this happening #who is teaching them this #I’m talking to you new remake of alta #atla #I’m talking to you person who wrote the past several romance novels that my friend has recommended to me #books #the point is you write about how the person does things and their characterization so the audience can see it and you are showing it to us #instead of just telling me what’s happening in words #it’s not difficult and it makes me so mad I am full of anger #someone make this stop oh my god #some of these shows I’m watching are driving me nuts like if I wanted to hear the plot I’d get an audio book I wanted to watch this stuff #tv recommendations #great tv shows #tv shows #anyway #alcohol was consumed in the making of this post

its so fun getting to major plot beats simultaneously in both of these games and having to figure out what All of my blorbos are doing during

like i know in the process of defeating titan and esp after mourning the scions getting Blasted ciel and alta are forming a genuine friendship rather than a boss/employee thing, they both have the echo, they both saw what the empire did to their friends, they both Felt noraxias fear as she got punted into the wall, both carried the scions bodies to their graves and with all the travelling done in between they learned "oh fuck i actually really really care about you and dont want you to die"

and for claw island id need to know more abt the vigil plotline to have a definite picture of what would go down but irene is definitely helping revyl cope with tybalts death and the way it now has to take on the responsibility of being a lightbringer without him in the immediate wake of the attack

#talking tag #fun!!! bad things are happening to my blorbos #ciel would be having fun in coerth if not for the dragon catholicism though #snowy area filled with obnoxious mean wizard nerds hed fit right in #i wonder if your order mentor dies at claw island no matter What you choose...ill find out when i finally make and play irene and taz ig!! #ALSO DRAKAZ IS WITH CIEL AND ALTA BY THE TIME HE BEATS IFRIT SO HE JUST WATCHES THEM BOTH PASS OUT TO ECHOVISION TM #revyl #irene #ciel #alta #drakaz #too technically

At the risk of being yelled at by the Jean M. Auel groupies who apparently exist on this website (who knew? in order to be an appropriate age to have read them when you could even remotely argue they weren't garbage, you'd have to be older than my OTP, who are 52).

Anyway, I hate Jean M. Auel, she had NO qualifications to be writing prehistoric fiction and I'd like to beat her with an upper-arm-sized greenwood stick.

#she 'thoughtfully researched' her pos books by going to alta mira and literally thinking #she didn't talk to actual archaeologists or prehistoric archaeologists #and james chatters loved them #i don't know what more info you need than that

[galaxythreads]

well it would appear I have another pair of extensively damaged blorbo siblings to poke at.

#how did I go like 5+ years listening to my siblings talk about alta #and not know that Azula existed #because HOLY CRAP SHE NEEDS A HUG #like she and Zuko are just two halves of one very badly damaged whole and she deserved so much better #SHE IS 14!!!!!!!!!! #14!! #i'm not done with s3 yet but I know that she bottoms out and never gets better
