I think it would be really cool if there was a third, probably smaller water tribe settlement in a greener area based off of the Vikings or other Nordic/Scandinavian peoples, especially if like the Vikings it put more emphasis on combat/bravery/activity but in a defensive way (to match more with their peaceful nature). I just love Vikings but they were pretty well known for their activity in the ocean (specifically called “sea faring people” as a main distinctive attribute) and living along coasts likes the fjords of norway (ok technically Norway didn’t show up til the end of the Viking era but the concept applies)

of course, they would have to keep the tradition of sending the dead off to sea in a boat

Viking ships. Need I say more?

The name Viking comes from the word Vikingr, meaning “pirate”

it’s commonly believed/well known that Vikings originated from a very harsh icy climate like the northern and southern tribes

Despite having warm summers, the clothing would be very similar, featuring furs and animal hides/parts, making use of little resources from icy biomes for the harsh winters similar to the north and south poles

apparently Vikings skiid (or something of the like) so the tribe could have specific proficiency with control, manipulating snow in addition to ice and water

Vikings didn’t conform to a particular group, history website says they probably didn’t even have a common name for their people, which would support the tribe being seperate from the northern and southern tribes

blondes. Probably the only blondes in the series because apparently Vikings found ways to bleach their hair and did it on purpose. I think the tribe, though few in number, would be very proud and happy to bleach their hair even if it would very obviously set them apart

So yeah. Viking water tribe. Who’s with me?

Listening to someone else watch the original ATLA again, just starting season 3, and there's this line where Aang suggests that it didn't just look like he died, but he DID actually die and Katara brought him back. And look, I don't know much about the lore introduced by TLOK, but this sounds like a really fun place to start an AU inspired by "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"'s take on the temporary death and resurrection of a cyclical chosen one: Aang is brought back to life and is STILL the Avatar, but his temporary death still also causes another Avatar to be born into the Southern Water Tribe (or Swamp People or refugees on some southern island, whatever).

Like, I know the Avatar is a reincarnation thing, but weird things can happen with spirits! Maybe this glitch in the cycle causes the spiritual equivalent of mitosis to happen to the Avatar and the spirit attached to them, so there's just two of them now! Maybe having two Avatars has some spiritual downsides, maybe not, it's up to whatever path you choose to explore in this AU.

I just think it would be really funny for post-canon 21yo Aang (and the Gaang and the White Lotus and all the spiritual / religious orders on the planet) to suddenly be confronted with a 10yo water tribe kid who is ALSO the Avatar.

A water tribe couple shuffle awkwardly up to Sokka, like, "Sooooo... we think our 10 year old daughter might be the Avatar...? She can, uh, bend all the elements and all that. Look at this shit." And Sokka is like, "Fuck, Aang is dead?!" Before he's like, "Wait, I saw Aang last week, this kid is way too old?!" And he has to hastily contact Aang like, "Hey, buddy, you're still alive, right?" And Aang can only reply, "Uhhh, last I checked, yes?!?!"

It's probably Sokka and Katara who put the pieces of the timeline together and figure out what caused this, because all of the other Avatars are probably initially like, "Yeah, I have no idea what's happening here. I'm you and you're me, but I'm also her and she's also me, and you and her are kind of the same person, but you're obviously different people now? Wow! Good luck figuring all that out, kid! You're really going places none of us have gone before! A real groundbreaker!"

Aang, through gritted teeth, "I am really not TRYING to do that, thank you!"

Concept: Fire Lords traditionally dress like the stages of the sun to match their reign.

When Zuko is first crowned, he dresses in the colours of dawn. Bright yellows and pinks and even purples. He starts to wear more traditional crimson-and-gold robes after a few years, the colours of midday when Agni is at his strongest. And towards the end of his reign, when he's getting ready to pass the crown onto Izumi, he starts dressing like the setting sun.

#i haven't been able to stop thinking about this for DAYS please free me #avatar #atla #i imagine this was something that went out of style with sozin's era #because fire lords refused to wear anything but the colours of midday #because they believed that was the only way to signify that they are strong #anyway i'm just losing my mind at teenage fire lord zuko dressed like the rising sun #my posts #atla headcanons #au ideas

AZULA GET BACK HERE-

Any fire siblings concept that gives them this vibe is an automatic favorite 

#do NOT tag this as ship I will sic azula on your ass #atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #azula #fire siblings #comic #em draws #atla fanart #I like the idea that Azula is Zuko's passive-aggressive court behavior translator #Zuko: So like. did it seem like that noble was being kind of a dick? #Azula: Currently I have a private investigation underway to uncover an assassination plot I believe he is spearheading #Zuko: Ah

[gascreates]

when aang doesn't explain everything

#part of my new effort to gaslight people into thinking im wriitng fics that im not #i mean my effort to provide visual creative prompts #go nuts if you get inspired #i have no intentions of adding more context :) #atla #sokka #zuko #@spidey-thwiped for the idea among many others #brainstorm buddies <3 <3 <3

how similar zuko and ozai look from side profile got me thinking:

i mean they have the same straight forehead, same brow, and the long and sharp nose. having a familial resemblance to the person you hate most in the world is real and it sucks. i imagine this bothers zuko for a long time, bc every time he looks in the mirror he's reminded of ozai.

until one day he gets socked in the face by an assassin and breaks his nose. ever since then he has a nose bump and he's very happy with it

#id in alt text #i've been hanging on to this idea for years #every time i draw him side profile i put extra effort in his little nose bump #got to spread the agender #zuko #click for quality #avatar #avatar the last airbender #firelord zuko #atla #fanart #zuko fanart #my art #this is your reminder to FLIP THE CANVAS i had to do so much liquifying 😭 #also that rightmost zuko?? prettiest thing i have ever drawn wtf and i barely used a reference image. how did i do that #tea arts🍵
