Ok now we're just taking the piss right? Right?
Once again this sort of thinking is removing a fundamental character arc that makes this story what it is. A big part of Aang's journey, especially in season 1, but tbh it does return in later seasons too, is accepting that he is the Avatar, and that he's the only one who can end this war. During the whole first season he is in complete denial about who he is and what he's supposed to do, which is why in most of this season there's no sense of urgency, and then once Aang gets faced with a very real, very close deadline he panics. This makes it even more brutal when in season 3, after accepting this responsibility, he gets faced with the reality of failure. He runs away again, this time not because he doesn't want responsibility, but because he knows how heavy his responsibility is and he doesn't want to burden anyone else with it. Removing the first aspect, aka running away and denying responsibility, it in turn also removes the heavy emotion from his later arc.
It keeps surprising me that people who claim to be such fans of the original seem to completely miss the point of most of this story? Like how could you look at Sokka learning about women's rights, Aang learning to accept responsibility, and Katara's motherly warmth which happened because how young she was when she had to step into a motherly role, and think "well we should remove that." You're taking out all of character development and going purely off of plot (which isn't gonna be nearly as good without the character development!)
Atla is probably one of the most analyzed and picked apart story, has one of the most long running loyal fanbases, people are STILL making thinkpieces about this show, and you manage to still misunderstand so much???

Zuko and Mai are traumatized, immature teens who don't understand where the other is coming from at times and thus struggle to communicate but generally care about each other. Sometimes, Mai's lack of emotional expression collides with Zuko's need for emotional validation. Sometimes, Zuko's insecure controlling aspects collide with Mai’s need for freedom away from the oppressive reality of her childhood. Neither of those is abuse. It also doesn't mean that Mai was a terrible girlfriend to Zuko.

Jewelers often put shiny metal foil underneath a gem to make the stone shine brighter, or display them on dark velvet to bring attention to their brightness. A literary foil serves a similar purpose: To provide contrast to another character by accentuating their differences. [x]

I finally finished the entire four seasons of legacies and I’m just so disappointed. I love the characters so much but the story telling of everything after the first season was terrible. This series had so much potential but it suffered from such a convoluted narrative. I’ve never loved so many characters and felt so heartbroken by how robbed I feel about their stories being what they were. One of them being Hope. She is THE tribrid yet most of her story is about her being down bad for a dude and always saving the day. I wanted more nuance for her. Overall, this wasn’t the worse series ever but it’s sad seeing a series having so much potential only for it to go down the drain.
I’m rewatching the first two seasons of Legacies before finally watching the final two seasons and I still want Raf and Hope together so bad, there’s just something about them that pulls at my heart strings.

A friend of mine had a thought:
Y‘all know how in the episode The Puppetmaster, Katara tells the story of little Nini and how she disappears and is a ghost trying to get warm. She also says that sometimes you can see the smoke coming from her house. Katara also swears that it was a real story which happened to her mom. Anyways looking at it from a perspective of mythology, couldn’t those sorts of ghost stories be the explanation that Kanna‘s generation told Kya and Hakoda‘s, to explain why so many of their people went missing during the raids, going down to the detail of fearing smoke. Furthermore right after the story, Hama appears, Hama is one of the „missing ghosts“ who is now making others disappear.

Also totally forgot to mention, Josie and Finch are so so so cute I love them together so much. I was all for MG and Lizzie but then those episodes with MG and Ethan had me kicking my feet, screaming at my pillow and clutching my chest. They’re so in love. MG and Kaleb’s friendship makes me so emotional I can’t explain. Lastly, Lizzie, Josie and Hope trio is the sisterhood I always wanted to see. I want Rafael back, I miss him so much ): I like Jed but I wish we Raf didn’t have to go, I cried so much while watching that episode I almost finished my tissue box

Some random thoughts: I’m on season three, episode 16 and Clarke x Hope… I’m finally getting it. However, Landon and Cleo made me feel more than Hope x Landon ever has in the last three seasons. They’re everything after just one episode. I just feel like Hope and Landon are so forced and it’s just not for me.

The powerful Avatar Spirit
You may recognize this one from my Kataang Week's piece. I finished it some months ago and decided to animate it a bit now. 😊
For better (?, I'm not sure where is the best) quality please visit my Instagram or my Deviantart page

Kataang Halloween 2022
Tumblr media
Long time no drawing, but I'm finally back from the break (my life was really busy in the previous months but I'm so happy that I can draw again)
The Corpse Bride is my favourite Halloween movie, so I decided to draw the Kataang couple in Emily and Victor costumes. Katara even painted her skin to have some bones showing and added a little blue to look like Emily's dead skin.
And Momo is just Momo, curious as always 😂
Hope you like it! 
Happy Halloween! 🎃

"They breathed in and out together. Listening to the sound of Aang’s voice, concentrating on her breath, Katara started to relax, and thoughts of bloodbending began to fade away. But once he stopped directing her, she forgot all about breathing, and the lure of bloodbending became impossible to resist. Her fingertips burned against his palms, and she started to reach inside, ever so slightly, seeking the veins that ran through his hands.
“Aang! It’s not working! I can’t control myself—” she said, panicking. 
But instead of pulling away, Aang curled his fingers around her trembling hands."
Midnight Meditations by chocomd
Summary:
After being forced to learn bloodbending, Katara is haunted by the way it has changed her. Aang tries to help her in his own way, with unexpected results. Takes place after the events of “The Puppetmaster” (S3 E08).
This is dedicated to @chocomd , my favourite Kataang fanfic writer. I tried to illustrate a scene from her story.
Hope you like it girl, and keep up the good work!
