What irl pets would the gaang would keep? Thanks for doing these sorts of asks btw!

aang has a lemur named momo and a bison named appa. duh

katara has a little white cat named catara who is her one true soulmate. also duh

toph has a pet rock named mortimer and a pet tarantula named spidey.

zuko and azula have a pet snake growing up. if you ask zuko, her name is fafnir, but if you ask azula, her name is stephanie.

sokka and zuko have a frog terrarium. their frogs are named albert, salami, thomas, tambourine, leg-face mccullen, and steve.

zuko rescues a little black kitten who is missing an ear, and names him jiji.

azula either has two rottweilers (for protection) or a cat named rodion raskolnikov.

mai has lizards and also a giant fishtank filled with exotic fish.

suki has a little ratdog named gargoyle. that dog is a mess but suki loves her so much.

ty lee doesn’t really have pets of her own, but she‘s a great stepmom to mai’s lizards & fish and suki’s gross little dog <3

Do you have a recommendation for a fic where crowley can’t say the word “love”, or it hurts him to do so? Thank you for all you do 💖

Hi! Just wanted to let you know about a few more fics I dug up that feature this trope. Hope you enjoy some of these! Demons Don’t Say the ‘L’ Word by FluidMimikyu (G / 5k): Demons weren’t allowed to feel love. Saying the words, “I love you”, was painful, like having barbed wire wrapped around your neck like a snake and having it tighten each time you tried to utter the words, digging more and more into your flesh and jugular. I Shan’t (Can’t) Say I’m In Love by AppleSharon (M / 2.5k): Crowley can’t say he’s in love. At least, not with words. Aziraphale reassures him that he’s been saying it, rather loudly, for millennia. Ngk, and Other Expressions of Love by Ghostinthehouse (G / 1k): Crowley can’t say the words. He’s never been able to. They just tangle on his tongue into a mess of meaningless consonants. He still tries. Saccharine (not even a whisper) by SharkbaitHooHaHa (E / 15k): Contrary to popular belief, demons can love. They just can’t tell. Crowley has been wanting to tell Aziraphale for thousands of years, but everytime he tries, the words turn into thick black oil in his throat. Even when they’re finally together, even when he knows that Aziraphale understands, his inability to speak the words is pure torture. you say i am loved when i can’t feel a thing by Gavroche_A  (NR / 1.5k): angels can sense love, but for demons, even speaking the word hurts. that doesn’t stop crowley.

rakhil11 mentioned you in a post: spobforpresident: thatonequeerkid: vandigo: ...

…is this so funny @ mimimimibird wtf @ your tags W

It’s my favorite! I got a whole group of friends to just stay on with me and the ride operator was like “okay unlimited rides until someone else comes along” and there was no line for like half an hour so we just kept going okay now i see how this can be construed as weird

Top 5 zuko quotes?

his stupid little silver sandwich monologue! he is trying so hard and he is so pleased with himself for that one brief moment where he actually thinks he somehow got through to sokka

then, when he actually gets through to sokka: “you have to try every time. you can’t be afraid to quit because you’re afraid you might fail” is genuinely excellent advice, feels so earned coming from zuko, is exactly what sokka needed to hear in that moment. and like, it’s rly just very profound! definitely the wisest thing zuko’s ever said lol 

when he’s so excited after meeting the dragons and he’s like “it’s like the sun!!! but inside of you!!! do you guys realize what this means!!!!” he’s just so excited after having learned true enlightenment & warmth & healing... love that for him

“they butchered love amongst the dragons every year!!!!!” obviously my fav zuko line in which he outs himself as a hardcore theatre nerd. he’s so dramatic and opinionated we love that for him

“uncle, for the last time, i’m not playing the tsungi horn” just bc i love the fact that zuko knows how to play the tsungi horn. truly a crime that we never got to see it 

#zuko #i should make a tag for all the art of zuko playing the tsungi horn lmao #asks #rakhil11 #top 5

My spicy ATLA opinion is that mae’s actually the first metalbender but obviously had to hide it, growing up in the context she did, so made up the whole knife thing to have one situation in which she could use her power. Also bloodbenders should be able to fly.

by that logic sokka is also a metalbender (or whatever material his boomerang is made of) because his boomerang defies the laws of physics just as much as mai’s knives. also I feel like bloodbending on yourself would be..... difficult..... probably painful?? but then again I’ve never been bloodbent so I guess I wouldn’t know

At the North Pole, Aang and Iroh tell Zhao that destroying the Moon Spirit would harm him too. It doesn’t seem like an empty bluff, but killing off the air nomads (except Aang, who was still absent for a century) didn’t seem to harm the Fire Nation, and killing the Moon Spirit doesn’t affect the firebenders. Is this ever expanded on/do you happen to have any pet theories?

Sorry, to add on to my last ask - ik the Ocean Spirit destroyed the Fire Navy immediately afterwards, but it doesn’t feel like that’s what Aang/Iroh were talking about? Also, even if that was it, without Yue (which neither of them could have predicted), it would still have been an overall victory for the Fire Nation (and therefore Zhao).

well, on a practical level, the fire nation is an archipelago, which means their way of life is just as dependent on the sea as the water tribe, even if they don’t have (water)benders. the sun is massive enough that its gravitational pull affects the tides, but not nearly as much as the moon. maybe zhao, as a high-ranking soldier, wouldn’t be personally affected by a lack of tides, but average fire nation citizens certainly would. we see how pollution affects the fishing village in the painted lady, and since tides affect entire ecosystems, even if you don’t give a shit about animals (which the fire nation clearly doesn’t) it would affect their economy.

but I think aang is coming at this from a spiritual level first & foremost. killing a spirit, especially a spirit as important as the moon spirit, would obviously result in catastrophic consequences, even if it’s not entirely clear what those consequences are. obviously, the ocean spirit answers that question for us pretty quickly, but had the moon not returned, it’s not even clear that that would have been the end of the spirits’ wrath. the human world probably would have been punished irreparably for daring to murder a spirit, if not for yue’s sacrifice.

and the air nomad genocide definitely did hurt the world, including the fire nation. every single act of imperialist conquest the fire nation enacted hurt their nation just as much as they hurt the world. think about how they killed the dragons, or how even the fire nation royalty have suffered under their agenda. zuko and azula were also stripped of their childhoods, just like sokka and katara. the air nomads were happy and free; they were in tune with the spiritual world, they knew how to relax, and how to have fun. by contrast, the fire nation culture post-sozin is oppressive and stifling. zhao just doesn’t recognize how his hubris and lust for power will be his downfall, because he is a sad little man with a terrible hairline who got his ass kicked by a kid who challenged him to a fistfight in the walmart parking lot. pathetic.

#zhao #analysis #hes rly the worst..... hes so slimy. and like. hes a grown man why is he bullying two little boys #fucking idiot. rly thought the spirits wouldnt care if he killed the moon #smh #rakhil11 #asks

Sokka invents the lightbulb purely so that Zuko can hold one above his head and light it whenever Sokka has a particularly inspired stroke of genius

this is wonderful. I especially love the implication that the lightbulb exists in the public consciousness despite lightbulbs not actually existing. sokka invents the anvil so that he can get comically flattened by a falling anvil. sokka invents the carrot, so he can munch on it and say “eyyyyyy, what’s up, doc?” sokka invents dynamite so that he can paint it orange and green like the recently-invented carrot, and only realize too late that he is actually holding a stick of dynamite, to go “uh oh” before getting his face blown up.

#rakhil11 #asks #its okay he shakes the soot off his face and then hes perfectly fine again #but also yes sokka and zuko WOULD

2011 Sokka definitely had a Bacon™ phase, and it really only waned when the rest of the gaang started avoiding him after he started using bacon-scented soap. He still has a bacon-print throw cushion that he will never part with.

our jewish king????? 😨😨😨 never ‼️

#rakhil11 #asks #Absolutely Not #and oh god..... pls do not talk to me abt savory soaps i am still recovering from the cheese soap anons i got a couple years ago #(real ones remember)

[comradekatara]
