Occasionally I see the argument that Zuko taking lightning for Katara was the fulfillment of his redemption arc or the completion of his atonement to Katara, specifically, which not only ignores that Katara already forgave him, but also, Zuko was ready to take a bullet for Katara in The Southern Raiders before she forgave him. Multiple times.

Zuko also took a bullet for Katara when he sat between her and Aang in Ember Island Players.

a little break from work and Xmas preparations - please enjoy this messy wip of my favourite gal pals of all time *throws a sketchbook at you and runs back to the insanity that is December*

What do you think rangshi were like as parents? Especially when Koko was a baby. I could not imagine Rangi getting up in the middle of the night I feel like she would be SO pissed 😭

Yup! I got lots of thoughts! Here they are, random an unorganized I'm so sorry TT0TT

I like to think they found Koko somewhere (she's around 2ish years old maybe?), and they adopted her before they turned 20, so they are either 18 or 19 when they adopt her (I have a joke, and yes I think it's hilarious).

They find Koko in a ravaged place (daofei destroyed the town or something). She's not a newborn, but the two of them are still woefully unprepared to take care of a toddler. TT0TT (Thankfully they have 3 grannies, Hei-Ran/Atuat/Auntie Mui, to help them!)

The grannies and Kirima like to poke fun at the whole predicament. (all in good faith)

Hei-Ran: I swear, when you said you liked girls I thought it meant I wouldn't have to worry about my daughter being a teenage mother! And an unmarried one at that! Kirima: Naughty, naughty girls. This is what happens when you fool around outside of wedlock. Atuat: Didn't they teach you where babies come from in that hoity toity Fire Academy? Auntie Mui: Kyoshi! Were my "Talks" not enough?!

Anyway everyone spoils the shit outta Koko (she's precious and cute!) She's rambunctious and cute and gets into a lot of trouble (her Auntie Kirima and Uncle Wong help her with that). She may or may not run Kyo and Rangi a tad ragged. >:3c

Note: I'm unsure if Koko's a bender or not, and if she is what element she'd be. I usually lean towards Earthbender if not Nonbender. (but Fire or Water would change things up). But we'll go with Earthbender for now.

Koko usually falls asleep while being held by Rangi or Hei-Ran (designated warm Mother and Grandmother 🥺). Rangi's afraid she's the more "strict" mom (it's the army brat in her u_u), so even if Kyoshi's also a firebender, she designates Rangi as the "warm" mom to curb Koko maybe being scared of her (really cloth monkeying the heck outta this lil girl TT0TT but Rangi's a good mom! she's just a lil scary looking kfjsklaf). She's the one to freak out the most about Koko's wellbeing (it's the mother hen in her).

Now sleeping? Kyoshi and Rangi already run on not a lot of sleep tbh. Avataring does that to you. But when Koko does cry in the middle of the night, Rangi's the one who tries to be the first one there. She feels like Kyoshi gets a lot less sleep than she needs and will try to rectify that as much as possible!

That being said, she doesn't like getting up (but does it for duty, and she's not mad at lil Koko she's just a baby). And Kyoshi still finds a way to get up with her (no this defeats the purpose of Rangi getting up Kyoshi!). They are both idiots trying their best ok??? TT0TT

The Grannies try to help as much as they can cause otherwise Rangshi will look like zombies all the time. TT0TT Really taking "it takes a village to raise a child" to heart with raising Koko.

Koko calls Kyoshi "Mama" and later "Mom" (when she becomes a Teen), or "Avatar" in a super formal setting. She slips up and calls her mama sometimes tho. TT0TT "Mam-I mean mom- I-I mean. *cough* *super serious voice* Avatar."

Koko calls Rangi "mofer" (really young, trying to imitate what Rangi calls Hei-Ran), "mommy" (when they convince her to use this for now), "mother" (when she hits teen years).

(Kyo and Rangi miss being called Mama and Mommy tho TT0TT But they also think it's SOOOOO adorable when she acts super serious and grown up, and also when she slips up askfjlslkajf)

Koko looks very similar to Kyoshi (Earth Kingdom features). With greener eyes (Kyo's eye color changes like the damn wind, but they're more blue like Suki's imo) and freckles (not the same as Kyo's but still). Her hair color is more like Suki's too. (maybe she's Suki's ancestor? Who knows? ;U)

But as she grows up she really takes on Rangi's personality (even wears a lil topknot!). She's a very serious Kyoshi Warrior yes she is (she got that army brat in her, she got it from her mother jkfslajf)

That being said, Koko still feels "softer" than Rangi. Like how Rangi still feels "softer" than Hei-Ran (Rangi, my precious cry baby ;w;). Blah blah "each generation softening the blow for the new generation to come" mentality yadda yadda.

When they first adopt Koko, she's greatly malnourished. They have to take things slow while she recovers. Rangi's freaking out, she's just a baby! And she just sees the kid suffering and wants to help as fast as possible, and now she's seeing Kyoshi starving as a kid when she looks at Koko and it's making her freak out more and-

Kyoshi has to calm her down. She and Mui have experience from when Kyo was recovering, and Atuat is a doctor. Rangi was worrying herself ragged during that time. (lots of cuddle sessions to keep Koko warm).

Kyoshi is the one who plays the most games with Koko I think. Rangi encourages it, Kyoshi is nervous. It's because Kyoshi never played in any reindeer games I mean. Played any (earthbending) games growing up, partially cause of the bullying but also partially cause she was afraid she'd hurt the other kids (she was powerful and couldn't control her bending yet). So this is both a good bonding experience for them, but also it gives Kyoshi reassurance in her bending!

Koko's the most well known cause she's the oldest and first child of Rangshi. But Kyoshi/Rangi do end up having other kids, and Koko loves them and is very protective of them.

Kyoshi and Rangi keep track of all their descendants (yes I think Rangi is also immortal RoR gave me hope like a dumb bitch TT0TT), and they interact with their grandkids and great-great-great-great grandkids and yeah. Just a fun tidbit, they love their family a lot.

All in all, even if Kyoshi and Rangi can't be with her all the time (Avatar stuff u_u). Koko knows she is loved, and they make sure that she is taken care of.

Annnnnnd that's all I got for now. TT0TT I think I listed all the key stuff but yeah. \(=w=)/

Winding down

@korrasamiweek2024 - Day 7: FREE DAY

WE MADE IT! ✨✨✨ I had to change my original plans for today, because of time, so I hope you enjoy this one! Who knows, I might make a comeback with the original someday (maybe)!

Anyways! I hope you've enjoyed this week just as much as I have. These two girls mean so much to me, and I'm so glad I've been able to share this with you all!

While I won't ever stop drawing them, I have to take a break and shift focus a bit. As I wrap up, I just want to thank you for all of the support throughout the years. I wouldn't have been able to do this without you. ❤️💙

@korrasamiweek2024 - Day 6: Band AU

This almost became a marching band AU... kinda glad it didn’t work out 🤣

I made a playlist for this one!

Korrasami Week 2024 - Day 7 - Free Day

Here’s my AU fanart for Korrasami.

Inspired by Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” and the Italian song “I Do” from the animation series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

“I Do”

(English translation excerpt)

In my hands I take with me a trickle of water

And in the desert a blade of grass will survive

…

I do, I do look forward the future and smile

With a new identity

Until the sun rises…

————————————————-

To Be or Not to Be

(I originally wrote this AU background short story in my native language. Below is the English translation excerpt.)

Before Mako left, he recalled the secret room and the forbidden cyborg body that bore a striking resemblance to the late Korra…

Unable to bring himself to report it, he could only warn,

"Asami, you know, to be reborn, the Avatar had to die..."

Asami seemed to catch Mako's hidden meaning. Shaking her head, she replied softly,

"She did, as the Avatar. But as Korra, she doesn’t have to..."

…

Thanks for reading!

Rewatching this scene I realise that "Still got your insides" sounds alot more like a Vi line then a Jinx line which leads me to believe this is Jinx using Vi's line to her when she first took a punch as a kid.

Makes this whole scene just a little bit deeper and explains Vis contemplative reaction
