#au idea mumbling in the tags bc i refuse to post like a normal individual #saw some dweebs on twitter arguing abt aang vs korra and started thinking abt an a:tla au (vaguely and unseriously) #also ik this is already a prompt in the piarles server so i KNOW its been discussed already. but i think if i were to assign them bending #i would say firebender charles (obv) but i imagine pierre might be a great earthbender? like i get the appeal of giving him #waterbending bc literally who doesnt want to be a waterbender amirite. but earthbending feels SO underrated conceptually #pierre totally could have the grace to be a waterbender but he feels more ragged around the edges (To Me) thinking abt him bending #like very physical. toph-like in his ability to sense the world through his feet (not to her extent bc he's got his vision but you get it) #he's a steel worker (using normal abilities. not his metal bending) by trade and works with charles in the shop #(charles does use his bending there but he didn't want to enlist in the fire nation's reformed army) #they get along well enough. charles is a skilled fighter even if he hates it but he loves to spar with pierre with the blades they make #and pierre loves to hone his bending abilities through these little events. tries to learn to fight AND bend the blade at once #they also teach each other the bending footwork for each other's abilities. so charles can firebend like an earthbender #and pierre can earthbend like a firebender. something something soulmateism #anyway. thats my two cents! thanks for reading this nightmare paragraph. #AU tag
