The Kyoshi Era Week 2024 will happen from July 14th to July 21st (a Sunday to Sunday week!) and we'd like to present writers and artists three prompts per day, so that everybody can work with something that resonates with them. That's 24 prompts total, so your contribution will be absolutely necessary! Please click here to submit prompts. We are very excited to see what you'll come up with!
Submissions will be open from March 1st to April 1st. In case we receive more than 24 prompts, we'll host some Tumblr Polls to decide which prompts will be included. These polls will happen from April 2nd to April 14th, so creators will have three months to prepare their contributions.
You'll be able to submit 8 prompts per submission and you can make however many submissions you want. Please remember that prompts have to inspire both writers and visual artists, so try not to be too particular. Please keep each prompt under ten words and share any intertextual context we and the creators should know about (e.g. if your prompt is a quote or a song title).
Rangi Sei'naka. When you realize that Avatar Kyoshi has a huge fear of disappointing this woman. Then you will know the true meaning of "influence". Because she has a lot of influence in Kyoshi's life.
And it's cute that Kyoshi always thinks of Rangi first, and cares a lot about what Rangi thinks of her.
That's having a lot of influence over Avatar Kyoshi, the most ruthless of them all.
It disheartens me still seeing people compare every Avatar to one another, and for some reason Aang always being at the bottom of every comparison.
Like first of all, every Avatar is different. They might have the same spirit connected to them but their ways of living, their philosophies, their convictions, their training and their skillset is all different. They all have a different mindset and different weaknesses. What's the point of even comparing?
People always make Kyoshi out to be the most powerful one and while i don't disagree that Kyoshi was very powerful, so are the other Avatars. "Kyoshi made an island!" Yeah and i'm kind of convinced the other Avatars would also be able to do that too tbh. She used the Avatar state to do it, every Avatar is supposedly able to access that (we've seen that trauma or spiritual blocks can get in the way so they don't always have access or full control). The difference is that most Avatars would NOT have made the decision to create an island. That's what made this a powerful move, because Kyoshi had the creative idea to do it and only Kyoshi would have come up with that.
People also always compare Korra at age 18, already being a fully trained avatar, in a full rage poisoned avatar state to Aang, at age 12 after only a year of training. Come on, how can you possibly call that a fair comparison?
I seriously need people to watch atla again and actually pay attention this time. Aang learned about being the Avatar, having the responsibility to stop an oncoming war, then learned this war was ongoing for 100 years while he was asleep, and his entire people died in a mass genocide, and now to stop this war he has to become a fully trained avatar before summers end. And all of this happened to him within the span of a few weeks in his experience. This is a massive task and he didn't even have a year to complete it, he had about 8 months (winter solstice is when he learns of the comet, that's december 21st, comet is at summer's end so i'm assuming late august early september, and this universe also seems to work with a 12 month system, bc i doubt Bryke would have made up their own science in this universe) And Aang accomplished all of it. And he was only 12! Not counting him as one of the most powerful Avatars bc he's *checks notes* a pacifist child you don't vibe with is WILD to me.
Aang is a force to be reckoned with, but people refuse to see it because Aang isn't "badass" in their eyes. When will pacifism cease to be seen as a weakness?
KIRIMA DESIGN !! my first out of a series where i design characters that hasnt gotten a canon design from rise of kyoshi. (shadow of kyoshi will be done later. theres a lot to unpack) i'll be doing lek after this!
Kirima's design notes / headcanons:
if daofei bad why pretty
her only indication really is the "wolf like fetures" and the earth kingodm tunic things,, there arent many official leads on how she looks like SO i implied a bunch of my own headcanons here
first of all, her hair. i love the idea of wolfcut kirima, but i just know that wolfcuts especially long ones aren't very practical in battle so i made her have wolfcut bangs + a braid.
now why does she have a braid? she has water tribe ancestry, spesifically from southern water tribe's wolf cove (where katara and sokka are from) however she's not 100% water tribe, i'd say around 25-50%
i headcanon when she was young, the water tribe side of her family would teach her things about their culture, mostly the hair and the fighting style. Her parents are probably also criminals, thats why she became a daofei, even after going off-contact from her blood relatives and joining jesa and hark, she still kept the hairstyle and accepted her heritage to be a part of herself.
The face paint is slightly inspired by Sokka's though i couldnt incorporate that too much because it doesnt work well in red
i dont know why i gave her blue eyeliner, it really gives her the menacing vibe to contrast her elegant teasing-ish personality, also she is a criminal so she has to apphear scary.
she definitely has siren eyes.
she is known to have a presice bending style. precision over power type of thing, her fighting style looks a lot more "sharp" and agile compared to the typical flowy movements of a waterbender
AU in which, after being abandoned by her parents, little Kyoshi is raised by Yangchen's spirit. Not that she knows it's her spirit, mind you, she just thinks that Jesa left her with her sister or something
