#Unitied Kingdom

Thinking abt the air nomads:

What if, after the war, once the dust has settled a little, Aang goes back to travelling, hoping that maybe he can find at least some trace of surviving airbenders. As an added bonus, he gets to do more of the exploring and wandering that he had to put on hold.

Toph goes with him ofc. She only just got a taste of real freedom and it was overshadowed by ever-present impending doom. While she's on speaking terms with her parents, she isnt quite ready to be back under their roof on a permanent basis. The rest of the gaang have their individual homes and responsibilities that they get back to, though they join for the odd field trip or adventure when they can.

So anyway, they're touring all over the world and over the years they notice just how displaced so many people have become. EK citizens who barely escaped the blaze but lost everything; FN military now decommissioned with no idea how to carry on; people looking for a new start in the hard-won peace. Maybe it starts with Toph heading back to Earth Rumble, where a group of young runaways scrounge for cheap fights to make a little money.

At each turn they find more and more people with no homes to return to and no family to protect them; runaways escaping the roles the war forced them into. Gradually, Aang and Toph start to see that they aren't so different from themselves. They just want a new start.

So they decide to give them one. They clean up the temples and set up villages in the surrounding areas (helps to be master earthbenders), where people can arrive and stay as long as they need. Travellers and refugees pass through in droves, sometimes choosing to stay and rebuild their lives there, sometimes continuing in their wandering with a guarantee that they'll always have a place to return to should they have the need.

Over time, the lemurs grow in number and even some flying bison calfs (hybrids with a relative species maybe?), can be seen in the skies. Whenever the founders visit, it isn't the same but Aang feels a little more at home.

The first time someone asks Aang to teach him his philosophies, and expresses his desire to become a monk, how can he refuse? Maybe it's a former soldier, somebody who's done terrible things, looking for a path to redemption. So Aang teaches him, and then he teaches others. And though they may not be airbenders, they are as earnest and faithful as any nun or monk Aang knew before. The temples become filled with new faces: Firebenders, Earthbenders, Waterbenders and non-benders all wearing Air nomad orange and yellow.

Aang always feared that it would be his responsibility to have airbender children, and the idea of forcing that on someone he loved terrified him. Maybe that's why he waited so long before acting on his feelings for his best friend, his travelling companion, his fellow-village builder and temple-restorer. How could they have a truly happy relationship with this pressure hanging over them? He wishes he could be content with the new way of things that he and his friends have created. But he knows that he can't be the last airbender forever...

Nobody knows why some children can bend the elements and others can't. Is it blood? Is it blessing? Is it the land in which you're born? Or is it the simple allocation of fates decided by the values and norms you're raised believing in? Is it enough to be surrounded by the culture and beliefs of the Air Nomads? Nobody knows...

All they know is that nobody sees it coming when the six-year-old daughter of two non-bender villagers from the Earth Kingdom and Northern Water Tribe sends herself flying twelve feet into the air with a sneeze.

#oops it became a taang au how did that happen #i just think it wld be neat if the air nomads worked more like irl monks/nuns #not necessarily celibate but still made up of people who choose to follow the way of life #instead of the iffy implications of all monks/nuns having no choice because they were born airbenders #i dunno it's iffy to me #taang #my posts #atla #atla headcanon #do we need to rewatch Ice Age 2 ppl?? #repopulation is not a good reason for two people to be together! #avatar: the last airbender #i do also think that given them being nomads the fire nation probably want able to wipe the air nomads out completely #bu they just had to survive in hiding/ in a very diluted form #maybe like the sun warriors do #airbender!Ty Lee my beloved #also wld reflect the themes of unity vs division well if there were more than just airbenders among the air nomads #like how a waterbender can be a ruler of the Fire Nation or a Firebender can run a tea shop in the Earth Kingdom #toph x aang #edited cos someone got upset at my introduction and while i reckon they were willfully misreading i didnt want anyone to misconstrue #to clarify -> any child of aang's wld be an air nomad but there's no guarantee they wld be an airbender #esp if he had a child with an earth or waterbender #and we see how this had a negative effect in canon #hope that clears things up xx

I think some inherent comfort of the party’s relationship, of why they’re so tightly knit and wholesome, is that it’s kinda the embodiment of "people that care for each other unconditionally, so much so that you could be the biggest freak on Earth and they would still not turn their back to you". Like, Laios’ whole character arc is that he was scared of others and their judgement, that he should hide a big part of himself and his interests to be tolerated if not accepted… But showing himself to others was the road through which the party bonded and got closer, and by the end of the story Laios literally turns into his monster because it was his biggest wish and everyone sees it and also he eats his human body a lot. After that he runs to the woods and is so scared of everyone not wanting to see him again, but y’know what. It’s fine his party still loves him, and aghhhh ouch my heart

I think also, Izutsumi was central to the party having a found family feel. The party was mostly made of work colleagues acquaintances, but adopting a stray/teenager that has no one on the way in your grand adventure really makes the whole family vibe skyrocket.

#Laios is kinda that “be so authentically yourself that it inspires others” thing #Dungeon meshi manga spoilers #SPOILERS #Dungeon meshi #The new year drafts purge #But yeah like. Be a little too ready to do necromancy? Y’know we don’t LIKE it but. It’s okay we’ll stick by ya. #Bro you CHEATED on your wife?? I am giving you the death stare forevermore but like I still care about you I’ll be worried if a horse break #Your arm. Oh you lied bc not knowing why she left you makes you feel foolish? HUH. Anyways I’m going to shower you in optimism #Sorry marchil possessed me again #If you’re a nasty cat teen who introduced yourself to everyone by threatening murder with a knife and doesn’t respect anyone or anything #… Sigh ok you can still snuggle with me in bed. #The ‘I will not eat any monster no I refuse’ to ‘asking a kingdom’s worth of people to indirectly eat your friend’s sister’ pipeline real #The pipeline is understanding and good faith and unity and love #meta

homegirl put herself into hypersleep just to be with her departed friends and strives to make her kingdom with no more struggle in her immense grief :]

Honestly Golden Cheese is so real for that. Like I'm not even joking when I say that, I'm being serious.

I haven't made it to that part of the story, but I do some parts of the story (I'm extremely impatient but also lazy so I look at spoilers). We all know that Cookie Run is no stranger to featuring dark stuff in its stories, with the Tower of Sweet Chaos storyline being the biggest example. I like how the story portrays Golden Cheese's grief because her kingdom is literally GONE. It's not like Pure Vanilla's, where although the kingdom was desolate (with the exception of Strawberry Crepe) the citizens still escaped and survived. Everyone in Golden Cheese's kingdom is just... gone. She went from having everything to literally nothing.

Now I just need Golden Cheese to come home so I can give her the appreciation I've deprived her of for so long. Speaking of which- this girl has TWO skills. TWO. Talk about a meta unit, my god.

Forevermore

To win the battle,we must surrender
and admit our powerlessness. To the things we didn’t create.
To the things we can’t control.
To the things we won’t cure.

 It’s in the surrender of our individuated self,where we can join in Oneness with God;in this Kingdom authority, power, and freedombecome our living inheritance. Where we begin to understand imagination.Where we begin to understand…

uhhh calm for the wip ask game!

i've got two, but this one has more context and is more interesting :))

"I'm not defying you. I'm defending my fiancé," Jaskier said calmly. "I believe it would show great unity on our part to be able to carry out some of her traditions alongside our own. It's only fair, since she's come all this way from home."

(not jaskier from the witcher he's completely an original character ok i'm contemplating changing his name bc of this now but i really like it for him and yes i didn't know about the witcher before ok tangent over)

#if you can't tell the kingdom greatly values the concept of unity and stuff #so #anyway context is that jaskier has been intentionally pissing his dad off bc he's been salty about stuff #and he's being called out on his bs lol #he is defending briar but a good portion of that comes from him seeing a chance to piss off his dad more #ask #lalallorona #my writing

The Burdened King

(Link to fic)

Description below cut

An image with a black gradient background. In the center is Cloud wearing a dark blue coat with black fur on the trim and silver clasps, silver running along the sleeves, and lighter blue strips going down the center. He wears black gloves and a black turtleneck with a grey collar beneath it. He is holding a crown with dark red and gold ichor. On each side of Cloud are shields depicting a sword with black tulips, both stained with dark red and gold ichor. The one on the left has ichor dripping from it. Cloud is glaring towards the viewer, his brows furrowed and his expression neutral, and has subtle dark circles beneath his eyes. He bears a wedding ring on his left hand.
