What if you could find the Divine Beasts in the Depths?
Youāre in this dark, alien environment, strange noises echoing around you, the inescapable anxiety your only companion. Squinting in the distance, you see a frighteningly familiar shade of blue flicker, faint in the distance.
Cautiously moving forward, you begin to realise the blue belongs to something much, much larger than a possible guardian. Eventually, an ancient behemoth looms overhead, still, silent, and empty, both at rest and unnervingly calm. A strange, restless melancholy replaces the sense of creeping dread, no less uneasy than before.
Entering the resting stone, in the corner of your eyes, you see movement flicker. At first you think a spirit, perhaps the Champions still lingerā¦ but deep down you know theyāve passed onā¦ right?
Echoing footsteps fill the silence as you press on, avoiding gloom where there had once been malice, a desecration of a sacred resting place. You see the flicker again, turn on your foot and see for a split second, a beloved friend, an uneasy rival, a stalwart protector, a steadfast leader, an ally, a painful reminder of your worst failure. Even now, years later, it stings.
You try to get their attention, but there is no response. Instead, you watch. And realise. And mourn again. There are no spirits here. Not in the vast, decaying depths, not in the final resting places of a final hope.
These are echoes of the ones you knew. You can see them in the corner of your eyes sometimes, going about preparations for that ill-fated battle. Itās eerie, made no better by the Grand Poes gently swaying, their locations random but making uncomfortable sense.
Sometimes, on unlucky days, it is not preparations that these echoes go through. Pain torn screams faintly heard as their final moments are played out, a play on an eerie stage.
Vah Medoh groans in the dark, as the image of her pilot slams limply on her back, wing torn, and struggles to get up, defiance in his glare even now.
Vah Ruta cries a warning, as her pilot slumps over the controls, never seeing her killer, her last thought to warn the others.
Vah Rudania braces herself, as the echo of her pilot does the same, but the shield shatters, a flash of phantom heat coating the area, followed by darkness.
Vah Nabooris strides steady, until her pilot, fatigued from a relentless assualt, makes one fatal misstep in her final dance, lightning crackling in the air.
The stone beasts are restless, aware of the new threat, and unable to let go of the last pilots theyāll ever have, desperately trying to fight once more. But instead, they lay still, silent, a monument to their pilots lost to time.

i cannot overemphasize how fucking funny this dialogue is I need to know what it said in japanese to see if its weird translation or if hes really trying to fuck mikotoba on this boat right here right now. while they have like 30 minutes before their friend(???) get sentenced to death. his blank anime figure esque dead serious but also trying not to laugh stare. the way mikotoba just brushes it off so casually like hes used to this. the way jigoku is also currently in the room in the suitcase presumably able to hear everything. hello. can anyone hear me. helloooooo

uhhh guys I just realized I have a really big problem
Iāve officially oc-ified mako I repeat I have oc-ified mako. itās happened. do you know how I know this? I drew him (I know, shocker) with grown out-ish hair and a lightning scar on his face. HE DOESNT EVEN LOOK LIKE CANON MAKO ANYMORE BESIDES HIS DUMB EYEBROWS HELP
I genuinely cannot escape this goofy ass orphan.
anyway hereās a list of mako hcs (under the cut)
gets called pretty boy four hundred thousand times a day and bolin makes fun of him for it because heās a big scary police officer who gets flirted with by criminals he brought in. and I know I have it in the tags of some old post somewhere but bolin got called champ by a girl he was on a date with once and mako absolutely used that against him in retaliation
heās shy but not in the nervous around people way. heās shy in the awkward really intense eye contact because he doesnāt want to sound weird when he talks way. if he didnāt have extrovert guidance counselor bolin he would just never speak to anyone
i also firmly believe he is either mildly autistic or has severe anxiety (heās me)
he cries once a year (exactly 365 days apart) at exactly four oāclock on the hour and has done this since he was ten.
remember that one episode where mako was like āwhereās chief beifongā āare you okay chief youāve been asleep for sixteen hoursā and āchief is really good at her job the cityās lucky to have herā on zaofu. pretty sure it was āold woundsā? thatās how he is all the time. he says chief at least 463 times an hour and a month into working at the station people just give mako an update on the chief as soon as he walks up to them. sheās his mom your honor. tenzin is always fighting demons when he sees mako look at lin like sheās his mom and sheās like. chill with it. heās like aināt NO way. basically mako gets one female figure of authority in his life and immediately latches onto her as a mother figure. lin is grudgingly accepting because heās kind of pathetic and sad looking (he reminds her of herself)
heās transmasc. I donāt make the rules (I do in fact make the rules)
as you know from that one post, mako is absolutely a great chef.
I think heād either be a charcoal artist or a really good writer. only charcoal artist, but he would do all kinds of writingāshort stories, novels, poetry, journalism, whatever. heād occupy himself on late nights he couldnāt fall asleep on an empty stomach with made up stories and he just started to get really good. but he also hasnāt gone to school since he was eight so heād get frustrated if he doesnāt know the word for something. if he drew it would be hyperrealistic portraits (heās trying to remembers his parentsā faces)
kind of related to that but I think mako loves reading/writing but is a natural math genius.
I know Iām a little insane about, like, character parallels but I just KNOW katara sees herself in mako.
so azula is my all time fav girl right. so she and mako both generally maintain a good poker face or a facade that masks genuine constant rage right. (just agree with me) but at the end of atla. azulaās breakdown. now, now hear me out. mako->azula style breakdown when he finally loses his shit. heās just so girl coded and azulaās rage seems so. fitting for him I guess. itās also the inherent feminine anger of firebending I guess? Iāll explain that one later. probably. hopefully. I have so many posts Iām planning to write oh my god.
korrasami r still in love with him and they all get together post canon šš¤š¼
thatās probably it for now but by god if I donāt update this list

can you show us the family tree pleeeeease š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
BLESS YOU NAORECO
ok so here is the full scope of my insanity along with some adopted theories from the community (Shirogane sibs theory and @gay-yosukeās Takeba theory which is based in part afaik on that one post with Yosuke, Yukari, and Akechi thatās like āatlus didnāt make us siblings bc he knew we would be too powerfulā and then of course. uncle Adachi au)
hereās the individual trees starting with the Kurusu line,
Takeba line,
Andddddd Shirogane:
I am extremely open to questions abt the tree but not suggestions bc it is. Very large and Iām trying not to make it like āooh all persona users have lineagesā bc I hate stuff like that lmaooo itās all just coincidenceeee (except the kurusus but thatās . A story for a different time)
