“Legends Never Die” fic title ask

A charity round robin pro-bending tournament among the Fire Ferrets (Mako, Bolin, Korra), the Frozen Fire Penguins (Kya, Izumi, and Lin), and the Legends (Zuko, Katara, and Toph).

The final round is the fan-favorites (Toph, Lin, and Bolin) against the other six combined.

“Keanu met Netanyahu in 2014 it doesn’t mean he supports what’s happening in Gaza” and what was happening in Gaza in 2014

#Netanyahu was a war criminal before 2023 idk how you can even claim to be pro Palestine #if you’re bending over backwards to defend your celebrity fave being cushy with a war criminal #what are we even talking about

If your strong female character needs every other female character to always agree with her and sacrifice her own goals for her maybe she isn’t that great and heroic 🫶🏻

Friendly reminder that Aang defeated the fire lord (amped by the comet), mastered the Avatar State, mastered all the elements (except fire) and saved the world in less than one year, at 12 :)

Oh and he's also the first avatar who used energy bending, the most powerful ability in the series and seismic sense

This kid was a beast and a prodigy

#avatar the last airbender #atla #aang #and he didn't master fire bending only because he had three days of training with zuko lol #pro aang #i can't wait to see prime aang

katara's face before/during/after beating some dude's ass

#katara #pro katara #katara deserved better #atla #enough of this katara was forced to fight because of the war and her twauma nonense #she wanted to fight! she enjoyed combat and kicking ass!! #healing is a useful skill she has and obviously she uses it to help people because that's who katara IS #but she's never shown enjoying healing the way she is consistently shown to enjoy fighting #my hot take is that not only should post canon katara have been a prominent international politician #but that her and toph should've been the ones to pioneer bending as a modern combat sport #pro bender katara rights!

Hot take: I honor that from a critical reading point of view— if we step back from the characters motives and over all plot— how giving a ultra powerful weapon to an alien that can come back and kill your world is dangerous.

and as a Nesta stan who has been around the fandom long enough to know better— that this x way of critical thinking only applies to Nesta from certain fans. The logic just falls flat and would make more sense if you applied the logic as a standard, since justifying what seems unjustifiable is what you’re doing, I mean.

because we’ve BEEN saying if you step back and view the story like that really all the IC’s actions make no sense hence why Rhys is a sucky HL for how he handles the HC and Illyrians and basically anything outside of Velaris. But when we point this out it’s us being bitter and suddenly we should just let it go because it’s just fantasy.

The fact some fans will say with their whole chest that Rhysands level of anger levied at Nesta is justified because ‘we as readers know ultimately things will turn out fine but just think about how bad things could’ve gone for Prythian’… so then… should we also apply this level of critical thinking at any point in acotar and still not see that you just can’t have that logic without the ‘fun’ aspect getting lost? Starting with Rhys drugging Feyre so she ‘forgets’? I love critical thinking but please it doesn’t make sense when it is only applied to suit a certain narrative. And then to still criticize others for it when it’s applied to character that are their favorites.

#anti ic #anti rhysand #pro nesta archeron #anti those people that bend over backwards to justify rhysand but are quick to crucify nesta #could never be me

The greatest crime committed in Legend of Korra was having Toph basically invent the police and become police chief. She should have invented pro bending and been a Vince McMahon-type persona who ran the event & fought on occasion. She had already gotten started in regional bending matches by time we first met her, so it would make sense for her to do something similar in the brand new city they were building.

[weaponizedducks]

right I love legend of korra but I have two issues:

not one mention of suki and that's unforgivable

TOPH WOULD NOT BE A FUCKING COP

#I would complain about the korrasami but I get that they did the best they could with nickelodeon #oh and non canon wuko not even in the comics #and why is sokka dead #i think suki should have started the cop force with the kyoshi warriors and toph would have invented Pro bending #lin would be sokka and sukis daughter #pro bending is just the kinda thing toph would love #atla #avatar the last airbender #the legend of korra #lok #korra #toph #suki #pro bending #lin beifong #toph Beifong

#this probending oikawa au is looking like it would make a better fic than a comic #me @ myself: you have no time to write a long ass fic thats not even a comic for a character outside your primary fandom! you have so many #other projects! #also me....but...what if i did.... #ghajksks #something something pro bending where the events of haikyuu happened in a junior league so that i can follow canon but give oikawa a chance #to win #and he's going to have to face the fact that he's always holding himself back and saying he can't do something instead of taking a risk #which mirrors the fact that he's unable to risk his friendship with iwaizumi to tell him how he feels #i was an anime only watcher of haikyuu but now im trying to get some of the aoba josai #manga matches for my textual evidence... #comics would take too long to donthis idea fully...but drawing...and writing oikawa might be hard...but also...full length fics...

I Do But Don’t want a full itemized list of all the terrible things Mako had to do as a kid to keep Bolin alive…

#like I’m sure it got dark let me tell you #I have this headcanon that the triple threats used his lightning bending in terrible ways… maybe even taught it to him initially… #and that by the time they’re pro bending mako had JUST gotten free of them… #how clueless was he able to keep bolin all along I wonder #text #tlok

[fuckalicent]

now imagine if rhaenyra defended alicent the way they had her doing all season. imagine that

#they had her bending over backwards for rhaenyra i am so tired #from ‘a debt must be paid’ to ‘u will make a fine queen’ #yeah yeah narrative device irony setting up future conflicts whatever #it’s just ANNOYING #they kept compensating for alicent’s motherly instincts (which would be hard for people with sympathies towards rhaenyra) with half-baked #pro rhaenyra sentiment #it felt very dumb to me considering we never really see that same thing from rhaenyra. at least not on the same level #yeah she toasts her ig but it’s too little too late imo #hotd

[vexwerewolf]

It is almost certain that Korra straight up caused a massive rules controversy in pro-bending that should, in retrospect, have been settled decades ago

Was Aang never like "yo dude this SLAPS I wanna try" or like "remember one day I will be Water Tribe and I might wanna get into this"

I have to hand it to the referees for thinking on their feet and saying "yeah you can stay but you may only bend water" because it was pretty much the best decision they could've made. Permanently disqualifying the fucking Avatar from a bending tournament would have been the worst possible look but it just wasn't fair to have a person on one side who can expertly bend all three common elements and possibly the one element literally only four other people on the planet know how to manipulate.

I'm also interested in how pro-bending changed as a sport after the Airbenderification Wave.
