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

the way mania haters talk about mania is so funny they're like "this album almost KILLED fall out boy's CAREER this album lost them SO MUCH MONEY mania FLOPPED everyone HATED it" they talk about it like fob had to sell their kidneys to keep touring on the thing. like. mania? the album that debuted at number one? the album with last of the real ones on it, the song that fans loved so much that they got it certified gold despite the label doing absolutely nothing to support it or push it for radio in the slightest? the album that got fall out boy a grammy nomination? that album? you can call it polarizing if you want but you can't say it didn't do a hell of a lot for an album that had a first single with such an eclectic reception

#*making poasts #one day people will like. learn that personally disliking something does not automatically make it unsuccessful #i mean sometimes i wish it did but if that were true david cage would be languishing in obscurity after omikron nomad soul #and had never gotten put in the limelight with heavy rain and proceeded to make some of the worst games ive ever seen #god i wish that me hating that man made him unsuccessful #these tags are hopelessly off topic but the point is. not liking something doesnt make it unsuccessful lol

Hortator's shield-companion was raised in Holamayan temple

#the elder scrolls #tes #morrowind #alandro sul #some design thoughts #alandro's parents were nomads and gave him to be raised by priests #that's why people called him son of azura #he wasn't really immortal #but he lived a long life among ashlander clans

Actually make myself cry to sleep just imagining aang hold baby bumi for the first time ever and he cries cuz it's his son, his boy, his baby boy in his hand, a family he start with katara is real and they are with him and and —

#Everytime I imagine adult aang cries for his family I feel like I need to lay down #A family of his own... 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #You cannot make me believe he's a bad father not in a million years #He loves katara bumi kya and tenzin with all his heart the same way he love his air nomad people #They are his everything AND YOU CANNOT MAKE ME THINK OTHERWISE #atla #aang #kataang #< technically #cloud family #venus rambling

I think an important change NATLA made was to show the Air Nomads before the genocide - in the canonical timeline, rather than just memories of them after we knew they were all dead.

There's a reason kid's shows find it very hard to get approved character deaths of people we met, got to know, THEN have them be killed off (see: Jet) - it's much more impactful than already knowing someone is dead and then being shown a memory of them.

In the animated version, the fate of the Air Nomads is a foregone conclusion: they are a dead culture that was simply destined to die. Seeing the Air Nomads before the genocide in the live-action really humanizes them to the audience and shows that they were a real, living and breathing culture - not just one fated to die.

When you show only the aftermath of a genocide, it's easy for people to file that culture and people away in their head as 'dead' and it feels…normal(?) that they no longer exist - I think it's so incredibly important to show that these people were not just text on a page in a history book, but real, living people who didn't deserve to die - their destruction isn't "just the way it is" but rather was forced on them by terrible, power hungry people - they didn't just 'stop existing', they were murdered.

In a young children's show, you can show the aftermath of a war, you can have people who died in the past, but it's very difficult to show someone alive and well (develop them as a character with a name and story and interactions with the main cast) and then kill them off - I honestly can't think of a character in the OG that died after we had known them while they were alive (other than bad guys) - even with Jet, they couldn’t explicitly say he died.

We can ASSUME characters like Hahn died, but they just get thrown off the screen and no one ever mentions them again - Yue 'dies', but not really - her soul floats up to the moon after kissing and saying goodbye to Sokka, so it's not really a traditional death kids could get scarred from.

 In the animated series, Gyatzo is only seen through memories, we already know he's dead so there's no emotional shock

The live action was able to push past those age restrictions and show people alive and well and then show that their lives were ended as a calculated and purposeful action

#natla #natla spoilers #avatar the last airbender #atla spoilers #air nomads #atla netflix #atla live action #I know some people are saying showing it was 'gratuitous' but i think it's incredibly important to not 'sanitize' genocide

for @kataang-week -- day 4: cultural exchange

(ID: a digital drawing of katara and aang from atla. they're wearing clothing from each other's cultures. katara is wearing a yellow chuba with red trim, an orange shirt, a chumpi belt, and boots. she has one necklace with small turquoise beads and one with large yellow beads. aang is wearing a parka with a thick fur hood and black-and-white geometric patterns, and dark blue pants. he also has mittens and large boots on. they're smiling at each other, with pink hearts floating between them.

#kataang week #kataang #kataang fanart #artists on tumblr #atla #avatar: the last airbender #cimmeriadraws #the chumpi belt is a traditional andean garment #i assume part of the reason tibet serves as inspo for the air nomads is the high altitude of where they live #and quechua people also live in high altitudes so i think they'd be interesting to pull inspiration from for air nomad clothing #plus atla has already taken inspo from south american cultures with the sun warriors so it works :) #but anyway all i have in this drawing is the chumpi belt so i'd like to incorporate more andean culture into air nomad designs in the futur #i also want to dive some more into siberian and alaskan indigenous clothing for the southern water tribe fashion #and explore ideas for differences between nwt and swt clothing

Look I got to know how each brother got kidnapped by the village. Did they just pick up Bruce in the middle of his restaurant and walk out with him? Was it a similar case with Floyd?

Did the putt putt trolls get fascinated when seeing new kinds of trolls, only to be met with growls and snarky replies from the grey trolls they met? Would Viva try stopping the trolls from taking Clay? How confused is he after they storm his office and just took him from his chair?

How did JD get captured? Did they take Rhonda with them? Did she try getting her dad back?

Oh boy!!! I’ve been waiting for this one. I’ll go in order of how each of the brothers got kidnapped from oldest to youngest. (Btw the trolls all split up into four groups to find the brothers)

John was driving Rhonda down some forest trails or in the neverglades or something. But then all of a sudden Rhonda just stops? When he got out to check what was going on he found Rhonda had been distracted by a weirdly placed pile of berries. He was about to start shoveling the berries out of the way so he could get Rhonda moving again. To which he was immediately stopped by like three dozen trolls and a good handful of feral trolls. (since John is a survivor) He was able to hold them off for a good 10 minutes (which is pretty good all things considered) Rhonda did try to help him out but immediately got tied up. Eventually the feral troll decided to stop playing around and moved outta the way to let Thing aggressively tackle John to the ground (after dragging Thing off of John kicking and screaming) they quickly tied John up, picked him and Rhonda up and started their journey to leave. John was now confused by everything and even more confused why that…. thing kept glaring at him and hissing. The only reason Thing only tackled John is because he knew he couldn’t actually bring harm to the brothers or else Branch would be mad at him (also he had 30 different trolls drag him off John before he could do actual damage)

Bruce was minding his own business in the restaurant getting some orders done. When all of a sudden three trolls asked him “are you Spruce” (the scene was similar to the one in the movie of Bruces introduction) but instead of saying “hey were your brothers” the three trolls immediately picked Bruce up, tied him up and quickly ran for it. Then we cut to Thing popping out of some nacho bowl in the background and immediately jumping over to the counter, and leaving a classic looking ransom note that said “sorre wif I m goin too bee riht back <3” (spelling mistakes and all) Brandy saw it all, and was about to chase after Bruce. Until one of the gray trolls came up to actually explain the situation instead of just straight up kidnapping Bruce. Brandy decided to let it play out because she knew this was a serious situation. (She does wish they took a different approach to getting her husband though.)

Clay was a little harder to track down for the gray trolls, but they found him!!!….. and other trolls? They decided not to just quickly rush in and grab the troll this time (mostly because they were being surrounded by a bunch of putt putt trolls) Who surprisingly have a very similar lifestyle to theirs. Basically the putt putt trolls were really excited to see people who were actually like them(in a way). Viva was excited to see other trolls (a little put off by the feral trolls, but hey ✨friends!!!✨) Instead of replying back with the same friendship given to them, the gray trolls answer the putt putt trolls with snarky remarks and growling (lots of growling) not really wanting to get to know the golf trolls since they had a kidnapping to get too. Thing finally caught the scent of Clay, and Thing immediately started running on all fours and broke through the admin office. Clay was shocked by the whatever that just broke through his office door, and was now being dragged away from his office by the ankle by the same thing. Once the other grey trolls and feral trolls realize they finally got Clay. They immediately start hightailing it out of there. Once Viva realizes what’s happening, she tries chasing after the group of trolls, and so does the rest of the putt putt trolls. The chase goes on until they get to the gate, once they get their Viva freezes up and everyone stops. After a few hours minutes of contemplating Viva exits the golf course (shes not afraid of them just what they might do) Just so she can chase Clay down (I mean her best friend was in a life or death situation. She had to do something Viva basically chases the group back to the village. Somewhere during the chase Thing gives Clay off to one of the other trolls and immediately goes too try to catch up with the group who is on their way to get Floyd. (also yes, Thing has been running around just to join each group and kidnapping the brothers.)

(Floyd has his solo career actually going pretty good before he got kidnapped.) So basically they kidnap Floyd after a concert, Floyd would go backstage to finally take his make up off, pat himself on the back for another good concert. To which he immediately sees this very strange looking troll (he wasn’t sure what that thing was) The Thing quickly told him “they were fan”. Floyd could never turn down a fan and immediately asked what he wanted and how he’s doing and blah blah blah. Thing replied by tackling Floyd quickly tying him up, then putting Floyd on their back and scampering out a window. Once he gets to the ground he is immediately met with the group who was originally assigned to kidnap Floyd (they are surprised to see Thing, but honestly in reality they’re not too shocked they are here)

All the groups meet up at the same time (somehow) at some strange halfway point, they all begin trudging back to the village. The brothers have a quick reunion that’s basically “Oh, it’s you guys” and after a few minutes of arguing, they start panicking (and are still very confused on what’s happening) BUT don’t worry in a couple hours, they’re going to see Branch in a diamond prison they will be forced to break him out of.

people who are hyper critical of aang are super fucking weird and we should say so.

#aang #pro aang #avatar #atla #atla aang #avatar the last airbender #it’s just like when he acts like the 12 year old he is people who hate him are like wow he’s really acting like that #like bitch what??? #he’s fucking 12 lmfao #of course he’s immature #but aang grows so damn much over the series and they just turn a blind eye to it #he’s trying to be a child while also grappling with his duties as avatar and his teachings as an air nomad #being told constantly that he has to kill someone despite that going against his teachings #anyway aang is great and yeah there were times he was annoying like any 12 year old can be #but he also matures a lot which is super sad cause of the weight placed upon his shoulders #anyway the people i see who criticize him to the point where it’s just like just say you don’t like him and go are zutara shippers of course #some zutara fans are so fucking demented i swear #and mostly all of them are annoying #even when i watched avatar as a pre teen i didn’t ship zutara

[marchlione]

atla writers who write aang like a bratty child in the northern air temple episode instead of seeing the pain of a genocide survivor watching his people's sanctuaries being disrespected and desecrated<<<<<<<<

#atla #avatar #avatar the last airbender #aang #when he sees gliding from a distance he has hope that at least some of his people survived #and then he has to realize that those aren't his people #they're just poor imitations #then he sees these people that from his perspective are treating his culture as an accessory of just some cool trick #and they don't even have the decency to respect the place? #buldozing over it like his people meant nothing? #and aang can't do anything about it because these people are victims of the war the same as his own long dead people #and by the end of the episode he has to come to terms with the fact that there are no other air nomads #but at least their sanctuaries can provide sanctuaries to others #and that these poeple on gliders aren't trivializing his culture or playing dressup with it #they are in some ways keeping it alive as best as they can #treating him like a brat for being understandably (and imo rightly) angry is horrifying

[zellaspinna]

F1 drivers as types of benders in avatar 😱😱 (ft: Charles,Lewis.Yuki and Lando) may perhaps make a part 2 to this one

#f1 au #art #lando norris #charles leclerc #yuki tsunoda #lewis hamilton #yes Lewis would be the avatar cause ofc he would #lando would be an air nomad like Yangchen cause yes #Charles is a water Bender cause the water tribes are for hot people #yuk’s is self explanatory
