If you hate Aang i hate YOU.What did this lil nigga even do?He was 12,one minute his life was a paradise living with his people happily then the next he got told he had save the world as a CHILD so he got scared and ran away and THEN he was the last survivor of a genocide.And yet despite all this,he went out of his way to show kindness to everybody,to give them hope,to give them strength,to use HIS strength to protect people and he never expected to be rewarded for it as seen by him helping Zuko back when he was evil,he was literally BEING SWEET TO THE GUY TRYING TO KILL HIM because he realized maybe he wasn't all bad and just a kid like him.He was the first person to really see him for who he is after he got banished and he helped him see that too and bring it out in full force.Aang SAVED Zuko's life just like he saved the world and Zuko loves him more than he does anyone else for it and shows it nonstop
He's so different from what he's expected to be-He's so caring and gentle and open with his emotions and goofy and eager to help and innocent and HAPPY.Even after all he's been through,he still finds it so easy to see the good things in life and fill everybody else's existense with even more good things.He's feminine in a positive way instead of being mocked for it and he loves his culture so much and he's so upset about what happened to his people and the reason he decided to be the Avatar for real is that he knows what the Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom were feeling and ain't no way he was going to just let it keep going when he had the exact power created to stop it
He never forced Katara to love him back.He wanted her to and she wore her mutual feelings for him on her sleeve so often that he spotted them and got freaked out and confused when something made him think he was wrong and reacted badly because he was a fucking child.She was a child just like him and he made her feel like one for once since her toddler years and that's why she felt the same things for him he felt for her and why their love perfected the show.She didn't have to water herself down for him and with him she could be the sea itself
Aang had every right to not want to kill Ozai.He wasn't even 13,not even technically a teenager,he was a kid,a good good kid,and he WAS going to stop him no matter what but what of the Air Nomads?What of Gyatso who was the closest thing he ever had to a father?What of everyone else he grew up with that always nurtured him in his-their beautiful culture that wasn't around to keep going anymore?He couldn't let it die like they did.So he worked his ass off to do both and he won.He shared the Air Nomad heritage with Katara as a token of love and did it platonically for everyone else too and despite how EXTREMELY problematic Legend of Korra is,it vindicated him and his people by making Air Nomads exist again.He deserved that and so did they
Aang was a genocide survivor of color.Aang was a child forced to be a hero.Aang wasn't the perfect boyfriend all the time but he wasn't an abuser either.Aang was traumatized and alone in his heritage and despite everything,he was still a good person not out of 'purity' but because he TRIED TO BE EVERY DAY.Talk about him with some fucking respect seeing as he's done more good for his world than you ever have for ours and takes more pride in his culture too.Aang is the perfect role model for kids of color and jewish kids and all the other ones with his experiences.Aang didn't do anything wrong.Just say you hate anyone who's an actual outcast instead of just quirky and then go do some actual activism and direct action like he inspired me to and so did Katara-Which she also played a big part in and i wish she'd done the same for you instead of you insulting her by taking away her entire character on the basis of making her 'a real girl'.I'm talking like i'm better than you because i am and more importantly so is Aang and Katara and Zuko agree

Color Theory in ATLA/LOK: Korrasami Bonus Round
Welcome back to Color Theory in ATLA/LOK! Today’s bonus installment is in honor of the person in the redandbluebracket poll who said “korrasami wear red and blue, but aren’t red/blue coded.” Oh, you dear soul. Please watch the show before you drop such a cold take next time (trust me, you’ll thank me, korrasami are a treasure).
Tumblr media
In case ATLA/LOK’s base color-coding by nation/bending wasn’t enough for you, please read on to see why Korra and Asami are undoubtedly “red/blue coded!”
From ATLA, there is a clear effort by the show’s creators to color-code characters based on their nations of origin. Fire gets red, air gets orange/yellow, water gets blue, and earth gets green. Since Korra is from the Southern Water Tribe, so she wears blue. Asami is the descendant of Fire Nation colonists, so she wears red. Pretty simple, right? But this is only surface level. Admittedly, ATLA’s color coding was a bit more in-your-face than LOK’s. By LOK, the nations have started to intermingle a bit more, so the color coding is more subtle, less obvious, but still there. Color theory is important, or we wouldn't be here. This is tumblr, after all.
Let's start with Korra. Korra has been a talented bender from a young age. She was just a toddler when she showed a propensity for bending more than one element, cementing her identity as the Avatar. As a result, being the Avatar has been a huge part of her identity nearly as long as she can remember. She was raised in a compound in the Southern Water Tribe, isolated from most of the rest of the world as she completed her training. She was raised with the idea that she was destined to be the Avatar, the world’s hero.
Tumblr media
Imagine her surprise when she travels to Republic City, a melting pot of cultures of all four nations, and finds that things aren’t quite hunky dory like she'd imagined. One of her first encounters in the city is with an Equalist, a nonbender demanding equal rights and the end of oppression by benders. Korra has never encountered anything like this before. A person demanding protections against benders? Korra is the Avatar. She’s the bender. She’s never seen bending as a problem. Her identity is being threatened. 
What colors represent the equalists? Gray…and red.
From the moment Korra meets Asami, there’s some tension between them. Some of this is because of the (stupid) love triangle between Korra, Asami, and Mako. Asami wears a lot of black, because Republic City is a melting pot, and as a result of this, many of the characters who live here wear more muted colors (Mako and Bolin, for instance, wear gray, with accents in their respective bending colors).
Tumblr media
But Asami also wears red. She’s a nonbender. And later on? Her father is revealed to be supporting the Equalists. Originally, Asami was intended to be an Equalist! But Bryke decided she worked better as an ally than an enemy. Anyway, it just goes to show, as a nonbender represented by the color red, a color also worn by the Equalists, Asami is what Korra could be fighting against. The scene where Hiroshi Sato invites Asami to join him in fighting the benders? Where he holds out the electric glove to her and she takes it?
She could be like them. She could be an enemy.
Tumblr media
But she isn’t.
In the end, she sides with Korra, but if we just want to go based on color theory? The tension was there, undoubtedly. At that moment, Asami was very, very red-coded.
Back to Korra. Her self-identity is wrapped up in being the Avatar, and she is suddenly faced with a world that doesn’t need, and in some cases, outright rejects the Avatar. What is she, then?
In western cultures, blue often represents authority and security. In eastern cultures, it often represents spirituality. Both of these are the essence of the Avatar in ATLA/LOK. With time, Korra’s character arc comes to revolve around what it means to be the Avatar, and, in particular, her spirituality as the Avatar. Blue is featured heavily in both ATLA and LOK in scenes involving spirits and spirituality. Some good examples would be Aang joining with the ocean spirit in the Siege of the North, Aang being represented by blue as he tries to overcome Ozai and remove his bending, the Spirit Portal that Korra opens in season 2, spirit projections being represented as blue, and Raava’s colors being white and blue. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Over time, Korra’s overarching character arc comes to be about finding her place as the Avatar in a world that seems to not need her and becoming the spiritual bridge between worlds. Korra was not a spiritual character in the slightest at the start, so for spirituality and the color blue to be so heavily featured in her character? How can you say she isn’t blue-coded?
In fact, the only time she doesn’t wear blue? It’s during Korra Alone, when she’s undercover in the Earth Kingdom trying to “find herself.” When she’s ready to be the Avatar again, she wears blue.
Tumblr media
Back to Asami. We’ve already talked about how she represented the possibility of being the enemy of season 1, in a way. She acted as the bridge between “the enemy” and “the ally” through her color representation. But what else? Red already has some very strong connotations in both western and eastern cultures.
In western cultures, red is excitement and danger. It can be adversarial. This has been represented already in Asami’s somewhat antagonistic casting as the opposing part of a love triangle and her almost-involvement with the Equalists in season 1.
Tumblr media
But it can also be love. Even as early as the love triangle days, Korra admitted Asami was pretty and elegant. The seeds were there.
Furthermore, in Eastern cultures, red represents luck and happiness. Where is Korra more happy than when she’s faced with a challenge? Asami presents and encourages these challenges for Korra. She offers Korra a chance to learn to drive, something Korra has never done and is eager to try. Where Mako held Korra back and argued with her, Asami supports and encourages her. She doesn’t shy away from Korra’s intensity or warn her she could get hurt. She stands next to her and asks what she can do.
Tumblr media
And their arcs? Mirrored, in a way. While Korra has to learn what in means to be the Avatar, and has to hurt to realize how other people are hurting, Asami practically loses everything. Her company, her father, Korra. While Korra becomes steeped in her blue, Asami becomes steeped in her red.
So, when Korra is at her lowest, she confides in Asami, the only person she feels understands her. The only person who matches and encourages her intensity, her passion, without holding her back. The red to her blue.
No wonder Korra fell for her.
Tumblr media
That’s it for now. I hope you’re enjoying these so far! I’m obsessed with colors, and I’m sorry (no I’m not).

Do you guys think that when the Avatar dies and it’s announced, the nation who expects the next avatar has some sort of baby boom? Is the avatar soul connected to a child born the same day the former dies, or does it take the 9 months for the next avatar to be born? Does raava know who they want to choose for the avatar, or is it a lottery for them too?
I know they don’t really find the avatar until they’re a little older and can do the test (like toddler age based off TLoK), but it’s kind of a good reason for someone to even try for a kid. How many fake or hopeful, naive parents claim they had the avatar? What’s the benefit of lying you parenting the avatar if it’s so easy to prove them wrong????
Is it even announced when the avatar dies or does the white lotus (or whatever organization looks for the avatar pre-Aang) keep it a secret so theirs no conflict??? Was there a baby boom in the water tribe after Aang went missing? The southern water tribe definitely had a boom before Korra (however, it may have been northern WT people migrating south, or the south was a scattered nation and got a chance to grow and unite). How many water benders died during the hundred year war because the fire nation thought Aang died and a new avatar was born?
I hope the next avatar series goes into that because I have so many questions about the times between Avatars and the logistics

on Korra having a problem with air bending not fire bending and a bit of extra
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and the lion turtles giving bending to humanity doesn't take away the idea that spirituality/mentality is important when ti comes to bending ( and the idea that you shouldn't be able to punch and throw some bending like air is wrong it doesn't take away from the idea that mentality is important to fully expand on the element or that chakra's are closed ( saw some people claiming that the first avatar just punching and using fire when he got it somehow takes away from the spirituality when there was nothing about the first avatar's mentality that would go against fire bending or cause him to not be able to use it . )
plus bending styles were obtained watching nature like how monkey Kung Fu was developed by watching monkey's lion turtles reveal doesnt take anything away from the spirituality of bending
korra bending as a toddler doesn't make her a Mary sue ( kids are shown bending all the time there was never a hard limit to when an avatar would be able to access the other elements I mean aang was 12 during atla while avatar's usually only learn they are the avatar when they are older ) aang could have used the other bending styles earlier if he just tried to
the claim that Korra or mako were Mary/Gary stu's were always idiotic and reliant on thinking either well something that happened with aang had to be the same with Korra or due to outright having an irrational hate for a character being flawed and those flaws appearing in a way they don't like and convinced themselves that mako is somehow a monster for mishandling a love triangle. ( like people who tried to equate him to yue's fiance) his emotional conflict involving love triangle relates to security
"Mako, of course, was so far from safe that most of the fandom misunderstood him as a monster.  Basing a male character’s romantic issues on his internal conflict between stability and change isn’t standard; if it was, the fandom would have probably figured out what was actually going on instead of just accusing him of being a cheater."

Why do you say neither Zuko nor Azula are evil despite the bad things they both do? They may both be young, but they're not toddlers. What's the line between "being evil" and "not being evil despite doing bad things"? Do you think characters like Ozai, Iroh, or Hama, are evil? Do you think Kuvira was evil? Kuvira may be older than Azula, but I don't think the writers of Korra intended for the audience to see Kuvira as an evil person, at least not more evil than Azula.
For one, I want you to understand that the idea of evil as an essentialist quality is already not a universally agreed upon philosophy. This can be hard to grasp since the influence of Abrahamic religions on Western culture, which do espouse a philosophy of extremes and essentialist good and evil, may make it difficult to even fathom there are other schools of thought.
But Avatar is influenced by Eastern philosophies and religions that believe in morality of moderation (seeking “balance”) rather than essentialist evil qualities. And while ATLA certainly has its share of western values due to its origin and the audience it was written for, they do go out of their way to make it clear that this show doesn’t believe in evil as an essentialist quality.
Aang outright says it. No one is born evil - Not even the Fire Nation. Inside of us all is the capability for great good and great evil. And we all deserve a chance.
Zuko and Azula are both abused, exploited, brainwashed children. Expecting them to have automatically grasped that their culture was in the wrong when even Iroh didn’t figure it out until he was a grown adult and was affected by the war personally is an unfair request.
Imagine if you’re struggling to understand my position on evil as not being an essentialist quality due to your own beliefs and understanding of the world informed by your culture. If it’s difficult for you, who presumably didn’t grow up in an authoritarian society that lied to you about what right and wrong were, and you have access to the internet and other points of view, how much harder would it be for children brainwashed from birth and with no other POVs around to tell them otherwise?

Overdue introduction post
Tumblr media
She/Her • bi/pan • AuDHD non-monogamous lady • professional tinkerer • this year I’m gonna be unstable unstoppable
If you like anything I write, please leave a comment. I do my best answer each and every one made :)
I don’t usually take requests because I came back to writing in order to let my AuDHD run wild like a toddler with a pair of scissors, completely unbound by earthly restraints. However, I do take suggestions, if you’d like to send one in my Asks.
Pen name and meaning: Tsukime Fuku or Fuku-Chan. I wanted something to resemble the owl I feel like, most of the time (I have terrible sleeping issues). Fukurou (梟) in Japanese means Owl, so I just decided to shorten it in katakana (フク). I wrote Tsukime in kanji (疲明) mixing up the gloomy and tired aspect from “Tsuki” with the bright one from “Me”. I’m a tired, gloomy, somewhat optimistic millenial owl.
My letters from the LGBTQIAP+ community: B for kissing multiple genders and A for demisexual (I can’t spell, sorry). Also, I’ve got a wife.
Where I’m from: A country well known for being God's wild random sandbox experiment 🇧🇷 For that reason, English is not my native language (you can communicate with me in Portuguese, Spanish and English. If by any chance you say something in Italian, please make it three-year-old friendly).
Current fandoms: Jujutsu Kaisen (main) and Hazbin Hotel (secondary).
Former or everlasting fandoms: Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist, flanaverse, Bojack Horseman, Rurouni Kenshin, Avatar (both The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra — I’m a Korra stan), Sherlock (books, stories, and BBC Series), Steven Universe, House MD, Supernatural, and other things I’ll add as I remember them.
Favorite genres of fiction: murder/mystery (b1tch! grew up reading Sherlock), terror, horror, drama and millennial comedy / dark humor. Currently, I’ve been getting into smutty fiction and rather enjoying it. I also want to write some chick lit stories, so...
Fun(?) facts about me I had enough time to come up with, instead of nervously sweating in the middle of a date thinking about them (this might get updated regularly, but probably won't - most recent will be at the bottom of the list):
Yes, I’m a criminal defense attorney. I love and hate my job multiple times a day.
I have a deranged type of humor (it's because of my inner demons. They have many voices. One of them is Carol)
I am unhinged and shitpost like a hell spawn. That's not a fun fact, it's a warning
I'm controlled by a monkey with a typewriter that lives inside my head. It feeds off of my anxiety during the day, then gives it back to me at night. It's lovely.
My writing process goes about like this: I get an idea. It plagues my every waking moment. If I don't write it, I realistically believe it might consume me into oblivion. So I write. Should I write because it's fun? Sure. Do I write to quench the thirst for dopamine of my inner demons (that have many voices, one of them is Carol)? Absolutely.
I got diagnosed with ADHD in my early 20's, and autism in my late 20's. These were definitely my roaring 20's, and we don't talk about it.
I try to be a kind person when I can. As a lady in her late 20's with some life and trauma experience involving mental illnesses, addiction, grief, and much more, you can always DM me if by any chance you need to talk about anything. I don't bite (much).
I realized I've been chatting with an online acquaintance that lives with a 12+ hour difference. That's how fucked my sleep schedule is — you can't fuck up your sleep schedule if you have none, amiright?
I need a soundtrack for everything I'm doing. It makes talking to people in real life very difficult.
I never know what day of the month it is. It's led me to receive happy birthday's unannounced and feel very confused at the people congratulating me on "my special day". I had done nothing special. It made no sense.
I tend to write very fast. It's the monkey's fault.
My most unpopular opinion: HIMYM ending was the correct choice, and made perfect sense for Ted and Robin.
My favorite quotes in English are the ending to The Great Gatsby (“so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”) and a tidbit from Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest (“Truth is rarely pure and never simple”).
My favorite poem of all time is "Tabacaria" by Fernando Pessoa.
Something you’ll NEVER see me writing in love stories is romanticized jealousy and possessiveness. Everyone has their thing, but that’s really not mine, and I don’t enjoy writing it. When I DO write about jealousy, I like to explore the underlying insecurity and pain behind it.
I’m here to spread the non-monogamy queer agenda.
If you read this through the end, thank you, and I'm slightly concerned for your mental well-being. Come on over and have a cup of tea.

Motherhood suited Avatar Korra very well.
They named her Yasuko.
The whole world celebrated Avatar Korra and Asami Sato's happiness.
- - - - - -
Currently Korra was enjoying her favourite time of the day. The night time routine.
The couple agreed well before their daughter was born that Asami would do the mornings and taking Yassy to the in-house nursery at Future industries tower and Korra would have the evening slot.
- - - - - -
Yasuko was happily splashing in the warm bath water, snuggling back against Korra's muscular chest.
"Make shapeys Mama"? Yasuko asked, tilting her head all the way back to look up at her mother.
"You want shapeys Yassy"? Korra cooed.
The toddler nodded so the Avatar obliged.
- - - - - -
Using her water bending Korra created shapes out of warm bath water for her daughter's entertainment.
"Circle" Yasuko said confidently.
"That's right Yassy, good job sweetheart" Korra praised her daughter as she morphed the water into a triangle.
- - - - - -
An hour into bathtime (Korra kept warming the water with her firebending) Asami wondered into the bathroom.
"Are we having fun"? She asked, smiling at her two favourite people in the bath.
"Look Mummy" Yasuko giggled, pointing at the half dozen figures Korra had created to tell her daughter an old water tribe story.
"Wow, I see Mama's showing off again" Asami teased her wife.
The Avatar stuck her tongue out at her wife, which made Asami rolled her eyes.
"The mighty Avatar ladies and gentlemen, reduced to sticking her tongue out like a toddler".
Korra huffed out indignantly, "I can be mature".
"Of course you can baby" Asami smiled as she lent down and kissed Korra's forehead.
- - - - - -
After Asami had taken her shower she glanced over towards the bath. "Okay Yassy, it's bedtime, let's get you dry and Mama can read you a bedtime story".
Both Yasuko and Korra whined their displeasure.
Asami rolled her eyes, "I'm a mother of two" she muttered as she turned to grab her Daughter a towel.
She started when I jet of water hit her on the back.
She stood bolt upright and turned slowly to face her wife. "Very mature Korra".
"Huh"? Korra asked, looking up from unplugging the bath tub.
"Don't play innocent, you splashed me with water bending".
Korra raised an eyebrow, "no I didn't".
"Don't lie to me Korra, I know it was you".
"It. Was . Not . Me" Korra stated through gritted teeth.
"Pft" Asami tutted dismissively, "the least you could do is lie with some conviction".
Korra stood up in the bath, "you want to see water bending? I'll show you water bending".
The Avatar waved her arms and the entirety of the remaining dirty bath water rose as one, and started to swirl in a powerful vortex.
"Korra" Asami said weakly.
"This is what a water bending master looks like Asami. Can you tell the difference"?
"Stop ! Stop ! Stop !" Yasuko screamed, she raised both her arms above her head and the water above her froze solid.
Korra struggled to regain control of the ice in her shock, but she managed to return it to water and fed it into the pipes.
"You can water bend" both her parents said in unison.
Yasuko smiled shyly up at her parents before she sneezed and a small jet of fire shot out of both nostrils.
"Uh oh" Korra said into the silence.
"You just HAD to ask the spirits for a child. Didn't you"? Asami sighed.
"I'll train her myself" Korra said quickly.
"Oh you better. One piece of furniture gets burnt Korra, and you're sleeping with Naga in the stables, got it"?
Korra nodded, it was going to be a LONG time before they could sleep easy again if Yasuko was anything like her.
"No Yassy ! Don't dry your hair with fire bending"!
.....
Korra spent a while sleeping with Naga in the stables.

i have a question about that panel in the azula comic, the one where she burns the turtleduck toy.
what's that supposed to be?
one: when they discover she's a firebender?
two: when she bends a substantial amount of fire for the first time?
three: it's a memory, so, the first time she registers that ursa doesn't quite like that she's a firebender but ozai does?
i didn't read the comics, but if i have to guess, i think the option three makes more sense.
i mean...
how old is she there? five, six, seven? not really a toddler. and she's a prodigy, would it take that long for her to firebend like that? because the other firebending prodigy we see as a child is korra and she's already doing a lot as a 4-year-old. sure, avatars are different. but still. or azula isn't that much of a prodigy, just a very, very dedicated person (she can be both, that's not the point i'm making), or korra is a lot more special than what we give her credit for.
also, if that's the first time she bends that much, how fast she progresses?
now, why i think that it being when they discover she's a firebender makes absolute no sense: it's so easy to test if someone's a firebender that they do it in newborns.
if the comics are canon, so are the books.
spoilers for the rise of kyoshi: when they suspect kyoshi is the actual avatar, the first thing they do it test if she can also firebend. now, it can be because fire is the next in the cycle? sure. hei-ran is right there, she's a master firebender, she literally trained the firelord, she was the headmistress for the fire academy for girls or whatever that's called. still, it's such an easy thing to do since all you have to do is breath around.
she kinda says that they do it in newborns. which makes sense, if firebenders can at least heat up a lot as tiny little miniatures of a human being, they're a fire hazard from the day they're born.
meaning: they absolute already know azula is a firebender. because why would they stop testing newborns? especially royal-born ones? especially descendents from the last fire avatar?
so i like to think it's just the first time she registers the difference in the way her parents see her bending, not the first time she actually bends.
