Mako: (worried) “You should sit and wait for medical Chief, you took a pretty hard hit just now.”

Lin: (dismissive) “I am married to a healer, you know?” 

Mako: “You sure you can make it home with that hit? This gang hits rough.” 

Lin: (muttering to herself) “They’re not stronger, I’m just slowing down.”

We see Kya II’s mug of tea on the coffee table in front of them and the matching top of Lin’s pajama set next to it. (SCAR HC GO CRAZY YESSS)

Lin (grumbLing): “I’m too old for this… I should’ve been done with these street fights years ago.”

Kya (teasing): “Too old, huh? Linny, You’ve been saying that for years, but somehow, you always end up right back in the thick of it.”

Lin: “This time, it feels different. I am getting too old for this, Kya. I’m slowing the team down.”

LP 2 Kya: (stopping the spot healing and moving to wrap her hands over Lin’s shoulder, leaning to kiss Lin's cheek.) “Maybe you just need to stop trying to carry the entire city alone.”

NOTES: 

Set in 178 Ag, four years after show end

New Gang and Plan: 

The Echoes are a large group of people in RC who are UPSET because they had their element taken from them by Amon, or were displaced by the Vines, or displaced by Kuvira. Zolt and his gang have developed weapons inspired by both Amon’s gauntlets and Kuvira’s Mech. Using the Spirit Vines they can infuse weapons with spirit energy and use them as an additional hard shocking blow to already strong weapons. Zolt himself has Two Whips that work like longer, more flexible versions of Amon’s Lieutenant kali sticks. They pack about 60 times more punch too. The group's goal is to take over the city and destroy the current system they feel did not protect them.

Legend of the Dragon S1 Ep 1-13 Watch and Rewrite

I have gone down a rabbit hole by watching a random show from early 2000s (think Liberty's Kids, Sherlock Holmes 22nd Century kind of channel) that is clearly trying to jump on the Xiolin Showdown/Avatar the Lat Airbender and admittedly, it's mediocre but I'm just fascinated by its potential so my writer brain has a loooot of thoughts.

You can find the whole series on youtube if you want to watch before reading cuz this has spoilers.

Here's the plot: The show starts when the previous Golden Dragon has passed on to the afterlife and Ang and Ling Leung, seventeen-year-old fraternal twins, born in the year of the Dragon, are next in line for the Golden Dragon powerband and use of its mystical abilities to defend the mortal world from evil. Ang doesn’t believe he will become the Golden Dragon, as Ling is the best fighter at the Dragon Dojo.

Ling is positive that she will become the Golden Dragon. However, when Master Chin Ho calls upon the power of the Golden Dragon to choose who will be the next Golden Dragon, it chooses Ang. Humiliated and furious, Ling storms out of the temple and is tempted by the dark and evil power of the Shadow Dragon. From then on, Ang is forced to fight his twin sister.

First, the general

Alright, the animation style, let’s face it it’s not the best. But after seeing 80s shows, it’s not the worst. It’s just very dated. It’s a weird combination of some shots are really good, and some just look like bad flash animation yet you can also see the detail in the fight choreography. It’s weird. 

Speaking of fight choreography, the show is just in loooove with doing slow motion shots multiple times in each fight. Like it’s supposed to be epic but since it’s used all the time, I think they’re just padding the air time. And since the speeches are generic, I have fast forward through it unless a shot literally particular interesting or seems to be delivering meaningful conversation between Ang and Ling. 

That or it’s trying to mimic old Kung fu movies with the over the top yelling (gets grating after awhile tbh especially from Ling), people suddenly flying (just assume everyone has the power to fly) and the slow motion. 

As for the powers, each temple guardian has a magic armband that gives them powers related to their zodiac like turning into the animal plus extra like Bengali has super claw rips, the snake guardian turns into a shapeshifting, size changing cobra, the ram has power over avalanches etc. 

Which makes the powers of the dragons disappointing as they display generic fire blasts. I mean if it’s the top guardian, you should put a little something special into the power like flame breath and turning into a literal dragon! So I would give the dragons a power upgrade stat. 

Btw, besides the generic power blasts, each dragon has a voice upgrade. Ang gets a manly hero voice while gets sexy villainess voice. It’s kinda funny because it’s just so unexpected. No explanation for why these teenagers suddenly sound like adults or why that’s part of their transformations, it’s just there. 

As for the dialogue, the show has some spark when it allows the characters to show their personalities with humorous lines that make them distinct but it is also hampered by generic hero speech tropes (like in a fight it’s more about “Incoming” “I know the real you is in there” etc. if you’re going to do the tropes, at least make it specific to your character). Like the animation, it has good potential but also limited. 

Now to the real meat of the show the characters: Like the summary says, the two mains are Ang and Ling who are suddenly on opposite sides due to Ling’s insistence that she deserves to be the golden dragon. 

The first scene brilliantly sets up their personalities with them sparring. Ling dominates the fight with aggressive, offensive moves but Ang manages to outmaneuver her with observation and subtly. When Ang teases her about forgetting Master Chin’s lesson on using your opponents’ leverage, Ling nearly hits him again in anger over losing. 

Foreshadowing. . . Totally 

Ang is set up as the more laid back of the two. Into video games and movies, while Ling has been eagerly awaiting the day to be the temple guardian her entire life. 

As Master Chin invites to the temple, the show further demonstrates their differences and sets up Ang as the real candidate for Golden Dragon. Ling is consumed with getting the prestigious position, focusing on the power she will gain. Ang rightly points out, there’s a lot of responsibility to it too but that’s not interesting to Ling. She will rule, it’s a given, because she earned the spot. 

And so Ling’s pride goeth before fall. 

It’s only natural since Ling represents the yin which is feminine and dark and Ang is the yang, masculine and light (as if the name wasn’t enough of a clue). 

Ling may have memorized the teaching/learned all the moves, Ang is the one who has taken the education/teachings to heart and put them into practice. 

Ling tries to take the armband even when Master Chin tells her it’s not a mistake but it electrocutes her and when he assures her that her real destiny is to support the Golden Dragon and teach the next generation like he did, she blows up and directs all her anger at poor Ang who doesn’t even want the position. 

Anyway, I’ll go into my thoughts about what I thought about the split in the episode discussion but from therein, Ang maintains a typical protagonist personality when one is suddenly the chosen one. He is upbeat but sometimes he gets lazy, he doubts his capabilities, he delivers a few noble speeches.

Even though he’s a bit generic, he’s still relatable and a good protagonist to follow. It helps that his relationship with his twin brings out his flaws. Like his optimistic belief that she’ll regain her common sense and stop trying to take his position as Golden Dragon.

Despite her many actions on the contrary, he still believes she can be good again even though no one else does. In fact, he gets very defensive when others call her evil or psychotic (no matter how accurate a descriptor). He’s just a very loyal person and will do anything to protect his friends.

I still think that he needs a different name if only because Ang is too on the nose for symbolizing Yang. And the other famous Aang from A:TLA. If you’re gonna take the name, it’s gonna bring up unfair comparisons to that masterpiece. Do you really wanna be known as “the other Ang”?

Ling is arrogant, aggressive, entitled, not self aware at all. . . Pretty much a good villainess in the making. I feel like the show (so far) needs to work in more positive traits as to justify Ang’s intense belief in her ability to be good again. 

But she does make a good foil to Ang, easily countering him in battle and thinking ahead of him. Plus she makes a good snarky Shego to Zodiac Master’s Dr. Drakken, introducing such ideas as hacking Ang’s phone to track down other armbands and temples or to ambush him. 

I’ll discuss more about how to improve her characterization in the episodes below. 

Which brings me to the antagonist, the Zodiac Master. He’s a pretty generic villain, wanting to gain all the armbands so he overpower the Golden Dragon and achieve power all for himself. 

And. . That’s it. I know it’s a kid’s show but this was around the same time as Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego and Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, surely they can work in more backstory and motivation than just power for power’s sake. Like how did he even get power? Was he a former guardian, does he relate to Ling in not getting what he “earned” so he is taking it all by force? He needs more, which I’ll get to below. 

I’d also improve his powers which are generic power blasts (seriously why give the secondary guardians cooler powers than the protagonist and antagonists?). He does demonstrate life force draining in one episode which I think he should utilize more to make him a more dangerous threat. 

But between him and Ling, he’s the Dr. Drakken if Dr. Drakken was more evilly competent and took himself way too seriously. 

Master Chin, the teacher of the dojo and all the guardians is another generic (maybe even stereotypical?) wise master character delivering vague wisdom and a sometimes humorous old man line. I also wish he had more of a backstory and developed a more fatherly guardian ie. Uncle Iroh from A:TLA 

Bengali is the Tiger guardian and friend of the twins. It doesn’t say how long but one must assume they grew up together and she’s a little older since she’s been guardian for awhile (seriously this show needs to work on giving people backstories!). 

She’s kinda generic too. She’s a good friend, sometimes teases, sometimes is the voice of wisdom, will go along with the others hijinks, delivers quips during battle. She’s similar to Ang in that she focuses more on the spiritual side of being guardian rather than martial. She also has feelings for him (okay not yet but it’s obvious as the only non related, reoccurring female, she’s gonna be a love interest, let’s not kid ourselves). 

If I had to improve her, I would give more of a backstory on her feelings as being Tiger guardian. Since everyone seems to be an orphan in the show, maybe something about how being a guardian gives her a community, gives her a purpose in life, the spiritualism allows her to find acceptance in the face of so many unknowns of her origins, gave her confidence. 

According to wiki, Tiger personalities are passionate, stubborn, generous, and with a strong sense of justice. She can provide some contrast to Ang as believing things are black and white in Ling’s case and she needs to deliver the hand of justice to eliminate the threat Zodiac Master and his sister pose. If you have the whole Chinese zodiac, lean into it.

Xuan Chi is the Monkey guardian and is exactly what you would expect. At least with western depictions of monkeys, he’s a goofy jokester. Raised in the jungle, Xuan Chi isn’t quite used to civilization and is mainly there to serve comic relief. I think kids would like him even though his one note monkey jokes can get annoying after while. Luckily, he is more than one note as he provides common sense to Ang when the latter continues to ideally believe his sister can change or tries to take short cuts of his guardian training. I like their burgeoning friendship. 

Xuan Chi also has some mistakes in his past like the fact that he came to the dojo seeking help when thieves stole his armband. He doesn’t have powers like the others but his martial arts and tree swinging (and bananas) skills keep people off balance, providing dynamic fights. The loss of his armband provides some depth as he struggles with the humiliation and shame of failing his duty as guardian, revealing the insecure teen behind the happy face. 

Now the first half of the season:

Alright I described most of the first episode up to Ang getting the armband at which point, Ling blows up and the Zodiac Master appears with samurai goons to kidnap Master Chin. This gives the show an excuse to show Ang’s powered up Golden Dragon transformation and save the day. Ends with Ling swearing that no matter what, she’ll take that armband from Ang and become the golden dragon herself. 

First thing I would change is Ling’s reaction, vowing vengeance and all that. She acts more like a frenemy than a twin sister. She shows no care for her brother, and is so willing to hurt him for her supposedly “earned” position. There’s no connection between them and makes it hard to see why Ang would continue to root for her redemption and familial bond when Ling feels nothing on her end. 

So I would change her reaction to her, still being angry, but trying to calm down and say that she’ll try to support him and teach him better cuz he’s still the baby brother. 

Episode 2: Here, Ang goes with Master Chin to the dojo with Xuan Chi who came seeking help to retrieve his stolen armband. That will be saved for another episode as Ang is concerned with the sibling rift. Ling goes to the cliff side to calm down and the Zodiac Master appears to preposition her. Together, they can team up and steal the other armbands so they can eventually overpower the Golden Dragon. 

She hesitates for like 3 seconds because she knows he’s evil but damn her resentment makes her easily give in to his proposal. He gives her the shadow dragon armband (basically evil twin, I mean yin powers), she shows up at the dojo, transformed and drunk on the dark side. Ang eventually defeats her, and kicks off the whole series arc. 

The major change I would make here is to continue to make Ling less psychopathic. Have her totally refuse Zodiac Master’s offer because he’s everything she's been trained to fight against. She may not be the golden dragon but she has honor!

Zodiac Master would reveal his backstory-he used to be a teacher alongside Master Chin, training future guardians and warriors. But he grew weary over the years of watching guardians make foolish mistakes. He, with all his wisdom and experience should be the one with the power, he wouldn’t make those stupid mistakes. He knows better than all. So he struck out on his own and got the yin armbands (which corrupted him and so his original good albeit arrogant intentions have disappeared. Now he’s all about the power) 

Ling refuses and returns to the dojo. The Zodiac Master vs Ang/Xuan Chin/Ling fight would happen and after several bad mistakes, Ang would triumph. 

Ling wouldn't be able to appreciate Ang’s eventual victory through his out of the box smarts. All she would focus on is his mistakes and how, if she had been the Golden Dragon as she was supposed, she would have defeated the Zodiac Master with decisiveness. She would have defeated him once and for all, she wouldn’t have let him escape. She should be the Golden Dragon and if only she had the chance, had the armband, she could prove it. 

So she goes to Zodiac Master and accepts the offer, becoming the shadow dragon and the dark side seeps into her. 

Eye on the Tiger, Hero Worship, Terra Unfirma, Master of Sarcasm: All are good episodes, introducing other guardians, have Ang put his training and teachings into practice, some generic hijinks like “Don’t meet your heroes” “What being a hero/warrior really means” “Appearances are deceiving” etc. 

Although I must admit Hero Worship is really dumb in Zodiac Master believing a regular movie actor is an actual warrior even after Ling tells him Wang Lee is just a lame actor her brother worships, he still kidnaps the guy, convinced that Wang Lee is capable of teaching any martial arts to Ang when it’s the other way around. I do enjoy the Drakken/Shego vibes. 

Eye on the Tiger feels a lot like filler even as it shows Bengail’s Tiger guardian prowess. It was more focused on the fight scenes than character interactions or dialogue. Here, I would add more emphasis on Bengail’s friendship with the twins and the characters realizing “oh shit, Ling is serious about being a bad guy.” It does show Ling being not a total psychopath as she refuses to kill Bengali (just fight her and knock her out and steal from her but not kill) 

Terra Unfirma was fine though I wanted more ox guardian action. I liked Zodiac Master’s idea to combine the ram and dog armbands even if it put him over his head and Ang had to help him out in the end. 

Master of Sarcasm was the best. Not just because I liked sarcasm but because of the location change. Ang and Xuan Chi travel to Vietnam to learn discipline from Shoong (unbeknownst to them, he’s the pig guardian though his surroundings should provide a huuuge clue). He was a lot like a gruffer, tougher Master Piando. So enjoyable. 

Temple of Changes was disappointing. After failing in his training because he wants to hang out at the movies and do normal stuff, Master Chin tells Ang it’s time to go to the temple of changes as all the golden dragons before him have done. There he goes through some trippy sequences and fights a dark samurai before emerging victorious and more confident in his abilities. 

This was disappointing as Ang’s big test was fighting himself. Like literally fighting himself with very few psychologically painful taunts of his inadequacies. There was no reckoning with his destiny vs his wants. 

So I would change this with a poignant flashback to Ang’s past. A few months ago to be exact where Ang is playing a game on his phone while Ling spars with Bengali. In the present, he thinks about his new role and his past certainty with his future. He had thought that Ling was sure to be the golden dragon so he didn’t apply himself with the same intensity. He thought he would teach others like Master Chin. That he’d be able to travel, go to university, be able to hang out with his friends without responsibilities and new foes. Now he’ll be bound to the temple, always on alert for evil and he isn’t even as formidable of a warrior as his sister was. Why him?

So the temple would have him face these questions. Since Ling wants the armband so bad, why not give it to her? Why hang onto it? Because of destiny? Does he want this destiny? Is he capable of being a good guardian? Can he actually become better than he is? 

So the temple would force him to really think about why he chooses to stay in this role that he never asked for, ultimately deciding that he is doing it because he wants to. He wants to protect his community, his friends. He believes there needs to be a golden dragon in the world. He’s accomplished so much already, he can do more and he wants to improve, inserting some of the lessons Master Chin has taught him. 

Mindbender is another semi disappointing episode with a good premise that doesn’t go as far as it could. It’s Chinese New Years and everyone is celebrating new beginnings. Ang hopes that will include Ling coming back to her senses which everyone rolls their eyes and warn him that Ling won’t change, he needs to give up the idea. Zodiac Master attacks, setting up a distraction for Ling to sneak into the temple and ambush Ang when he goes to recharge his armband. In the midst of battle, Ang gets knocked out with amnesia and Ling sees the opportunity to trick him into giving her the armband. 

Predictably, it nearly works but Ang’s memories come back and he changes to the right side at the last minute. Also, in the episode, Ling should do a better job of convincing Ang she’s the real golden dragon if she doesn't get impatient and transform into the shadow dragon so they can escape the cave they’re trapped him. That was just so dumb. 

To make it more dramatic, the plot will go as shown up till the amnesia. Ling tricking Ang will have more weight as she references their past relationship (including a cute beach flashback), she is imbuing it with truth. She has always looked out for her brother, she protects him, she cares for him. She wants him on her side as always. And here, one can tell she means it even as she’s angling for him to give her the armband. Again, this will make her look like she has actual emotion instead of a manipulative psycho. 

Ang will regain his memories in time with the help of his friends, and defeat the Zodiac Master and Ling. Only their face off will end with Ang deciding to officially cut off all hope that Ling can be redeemed. He is too hurt that she was willing to manipulate their twinship, to corrupt their happy memories. She’s gone too far. 

Episode ends with Xuan Chi, Bengali, Master Chin and Ang having a fun New Years meal with Ang appreciating his new family. 

But there’s a flashback to his previous happy new year with Ling and Master Chin. Flashback ends to Ling sitting alone at the cliff side, staring at her locket with their baby picture. As fireworks bloom overhead, she decisively closes the locket and walks away, a tear running down one cheek. 

Chow Chow is yet another interesting episode that could do more with its ending. 

It all starts when the Zodiac Master is trying to resurrect the original dak Emperor of Yin, and tries to use Ling to do it by allowing the Emperor to drain her life force. Well, Ling isn't going out that way and realizing the danger she's in, tries to contact her brother for help. But the Zodiac Master intercepts the email and goes to ambush him, making it seem like it had been a trap all along. 

Now I like that idea, and the subsequent execution where Ang does the smart thing and hides his armband before getting subdued by the Zodiac Master in battle which enrages him when he realizes that Ang is useless. 

And Ling makes it much more difficult when Ang accuses her of setting him up and she gets all defensive that he doesn't believe her. I mean, girl, you have set up plenty of times before, you can't blame him. 

Nonetheless, when Zodiac Master threatens to suck her life force, Ang gives in and agrees to show where he hid the armband.

And while all this is happening, Ang's friends have teamed up with the dog guardian, Chow Chow to literally sniff out where he's been kidnapped. I just find these specific guardian traits/powers super fun. It also comes to an entertaining battle where Xuan Chi grabs ahold of the dragon armband and temporarily becomes the Golden Dragon. 

Cool but brings a few plot holes to why did it reject Ling if Xuan Chi can just take it? Does it only repel evil? Then why don't the other armbands repel Zodiac Master when he steals them?

In the end, there's a big fight and Ling returns to Zodiac master despite him trying to kill her just hours ago, proving how stubborn she is about holding a grudge against a brother who has only tried to help her. While Ang realizes she was telling the truth and admits that he wishes he could give up on her, he's sad to admit he just can't. 

So I would change the ending a bit. After Mindbender, Ang won't have any trust for Ling so when he gets her email, he just straight up assumes it's a trap. The plot will go on as expected only Ling will be taken aback by the fact that Ang was prepared for the betrayal and doesn't believe her. He just wants to learn what the Zodiac Master is planning. The life force draining will still take place as well as the battle. 

But the reason Ling stays with the Zodiac Master despite him trying to kill her will be because she sees that Ang doesn't trust her and she is totally alone. So she convinces herself that because this night turned out fine, she can handle it. She never needed Ang's help even if he had offered it. She'll show him and she will show that backstabbing Zodiac Master, furthering her evil descent.  

Monkey Mission was a very fun episode, giving Xuan Chi more depth than I ever thought he would get. For one thing, apparently he has PTSD-esque nightmares of losing his armband. You see, he didn’t just lost a fight to some temple robbers, they held him down and electrocuted him. No wonder he has nightmares! 

But now, he has a clue of where the thieves are going. They’re auctioning it and other temple items off like any good temple robber and Zodiac Master is on call to steal it back. 

Why doesn't he just buy the armband since his civilian disguise looks like he’s the head of a majorly rich corporation, I don’t know, but I guess he’s cheap. 

Anyway, it was a bit of Indiana Jones and a bit of a regular martial arts movie with three separate acts and gave Xuan Chi a chance to shine and prove to himself that he’s an honorable warrior even as it leaves off with a cliffhanger of the armband going missing again. 

The Emperor of Darkest Yin was an episode that felt like a filler with Ang and Xuan Chi disobeying Master Chin's warnings that teaming up with Zodiac Master's vengeful ex-partner. This ex partner calls himself the Master of Red Chi whose powerful blasts mostly make up for his incompetent combat skills. 

I liked the message, "When you  try to use the force of evil, it is evil that ends up using you," and it plays it straight with Master Red Chi double crossing them for another of Zodiac Master's traps as well as the twist ending. 

But it felt riddled with holes like why doesn't the Red Chi Master not have a name? Where did he learn red chi? Can anyone else learn or was he just born with it? His story was very vague and felt like it could have been expanded to add to the magical lore of the show.

The fight in the Hong Kong docks also felt silly with the Zodiac Master's entire samurai army in view. 

Like is this like Marvel New York? Are the people used to samurais and bombs in their harbor? Isn't this supposed to be a secret mystical battle? Just the concepts of what is secret and what is normal in this world is unclear? 

I would have kept the use your enemy concept but have Ang try to outwit his sister, the way she has been doing the previous episodes and throw in the Red Chi Master for the red herring (this was unintentional, I semi swear).

The Last Dragon- I actually have no complaints with this episode. It was solid story wise, revealing that the previous Golden Dragon was the twin’s father who had Master Chin erase their memories to protect him from their enemies. Of course, Ling is dumbly manipulated to turn her rightful anger toward Zodiac Master for murdering her father to being furious at her father for “abandoning” them. 

But the show actually pulls through and has her realize the truth thanks to Ang and of course, a cheesy flashback. 

And then they team up to fight the Zodiac Master! 

It’s a temporary truce but I enjoyed that it touched on my previous complaints that Ang was the only one acting like they had a familial bond. Also Ling was less hostile psychopath and demonstrated she may have some good after all. Also them as kids were cute. I would just change the animation of the last scene because it looked less like a hug in the moonlight between twins but the beginning of something else between not siblings. . . so ew.

Spy Hard was also a fun episode. As you might guess, it’s a James Bond parody! Well a parody if James Bond had mystical possession and martial arts powers. Okay, it doesn’t really follow any James Bond movie plot but the Rooster guardian,Lo Wang has a Sean Connery voice which is delightful to listen to. Ang learns a bit about thinking before acting which I’m pretty sure he learned before but I didn’t care since I was enjoying Sean- I mean Lo so much. 

Also, Ling continues to return to her roots by fighting against Zodiac Master again. While she was originally down for the whole possessing the dragon temple, she’s not in it for corrupting the Golden Dragon temple’s spirit with the darkest yin. If she’s going to steal the Golden Dragon, she’s going to do it honorably! 

So yay? She’s not quite on Ang’s side but she’s not the Zodiac Master’s idiotic puppet either. And Ang trying to do an awkward fist bump was surprisingly endearing even if Ling didn’t reciprocate. You could tell she kinda wanted. 

So yeah, as I write this down, I can see that it’s really starting to improve as the season goes on and I’m excited to see what the second half of the season does.

I’ve always wanted to draw Katara.  I had to search for Tai chi poses as reference.  I hope i did her justice.   --- Edit: Thank you all for the likes and reblogs.  I am most unworthy and utterly humbled.

[mysticaltora8276]

1. I just gave you examples and you completely ignored it.

2. See the first one. I have to do is watch the show and you’ve seen plenty of times where Katara has randomly kissed Aang and he never consented to it.

3. Well, I’m sorry that the experience was bad but I’ve experienced favoritism and guess why? They’re still a good parent they’re just human. They’re just some parents who have a preference for one kid and they can still be decent to the other kid that you have does not define all parents. In that very same show, they acknowledge the Aang did what he could.

4. Wait, it’s OK for Zuko to make fun of Ang’s culture bang makes a slightly offkilter remark about animals skins that deserves condemnation? Because just making that remark being a kid.

5. Not really. Ability to lose your bending was established so that’s just a step up from that how you got it I can understand, but the fact of the matter is that it’s established that you can lose your bending. Ty Lee anyone? Good morning7”

7. You’re still dissing a person for choosing what they want. Now if you say it’s abrupt I can say I agree with that but the fact of the batteries is that in the fortune teller that Katara wants to have a family. Now, if you’re talking about how legend of Korra handled the old guard, yeah I can someone understand that I think that some of them were done dirty, but calling her a quote, “trophy, wife”, and just kind of dimishes. The fact that this is what she wanted. And let me get this straight so it’s OK for Zuko is 16-year-old end up with Katara but the 12-year-old is somehow never supposed to get with the girl he likes despite the fact that this is a kid show and yeah.

8. Nope, that was possessiveness because she was not responding to him flirting and Zuko immediately went to the possessive route. What? You guys make excuses for Zuko, but Aang has to be held accountable like an adult? I’d argue that Zuko needs to be held accountable like an adult because as far as the avatar world is concerned, he is an adult. You guys seem to constantly forget that Ang is a 12-year-old genocide survivor. You always make the fuse of “he was in the ice 112.” Doesn’t matter. He still has the physical and emotional and mental body of a 12-year-old. Those hundred years were just him preserved.

What I adore about the idea of Katara ending up with Zuko instead of Aang is that in Zuko she would have someone who would support her in her righteous anger. Had he been there when Katara challenged Pakku for her right to learn how fight, he would've backed her up. He would never have tried to tell Pakku that she didn't mean it. And he would've offered to help her dispose of his body if it came to that.

That's the energy that Katara needs. Someone who understands that she's not jumping into a fight for nothing. If she kills someone, she had a darned good reason.

storm healer - korra x reader

gif credit: @ninjahoes​

a/n 

hi lovelies, 

I’ve been running really low on ideas at the moment for ideas but I had a real thing for fluff with rain ugh i love it, so here is one with korra because i’ve been writing so many zuko oneshot’s!

please request idea’s or character’s that you would like to see a one shot of next, i’m quite stuck for ideas so it would be really helpful .

- smells x 

The thunder grumbled through republic city echoing off the buildings, the rain poured down creating a loud powerful patter which could be heard all through the city. 

y/n sat on her couch, book in hand and tea in the other listening to the rain on her window as she flipped the page. The candle light gave her face a warm glow as she wriggled closer into the corner of couch trying to create some more warmth.

y/n sighed standing up, placing her things down on the coffee table before wrapping her blanket around her shoulders and shuffling herself over to the radiator. 

She began to give a good bang to try it get it to start but unfortunately it wouldn’t go. But eventually after a couple of curse words slipped out and some aggressive kicks the machine began to hiss and heat spread it way through the apartment. 

Just as y/n began to sit down a buzz came from her front door.

who would be here at this time of night?

The person then buzzed again this time twice sounding more aggressive, y/n’s fuzzy socks slid across the apartments wooden flooring and stood at the door looking through the peephole to see the mystery person. 

“Korra?” y/n questioned as she opened the door looking at the Avatar with a puzzled expression. 

“It’s almost midnight what are you doing-g...” the girl began to examine Korra more closely her eyes wracking over her body, now looking at her face seeing scratches and a pained expression on her face. 

“Quickly go sit on the couch, now” y/n instructed the Avatar pointing towards the couch letting her pass her by, before sticking her head out the door making sure no one was around before slamming it shut. 

“y/n you don’t have to do this I just was coming by to check up on you actually-y ouch sshh” Korra hissed in pain clutching her side as she attempted to sit down on the couch.

y/n scrunched up her face in discomfort hearing her friend in pain, scrambling through her cupboards looking for her first aid kit. When she found it the girl carefully lifted the Avatar’s shirt up to reveal the deep cut on her stomach. She began to apply some pressure with a bandage causing Korra to let out a string of swears.

“Sorry” y/n apologized a faint blush dusting over cheeks from lifting the Avatar’s shirt.

“S’okay just hurts quite a bit AGH” Korra stifled her groan of pain with a couch cushion as y/n finished up wrapping the cut.

“Okay we are done now, here wrap your arm around my waist” y/n instructed Korra as she packed up the kit and scooted next to her wrapping her arm around to support her. 

“Are you hitting on me right now y/l/n?” the Avatar smirked out wrapping her arm around the girl who rolled her eyes but was internally in a crisis. 

The two girls shuffled over to the bed Korra hissing in pain with some steps, y/n gently placed her down on the bed and began to walk out the door a good night thrown over her shoulder.

“Wait where are you going, this is your bedroom shouldn’t you sleep in it?” Korra said looking confused at y/n as she was walking out.

“Well since you are the injured one I thought it would probably be best if you had the bed” y/n explained smiling at Korra, who shook her head. 

“Or even better we can share, I promise I don’t bite” Korra smiled scooting over towards the wall leaving room for y/n.

y/n sighed knowing their was no way she was going to be able to talk her out of it so she lay down next to Korra. The rain still pattered on the window as the girl lay faces next to each other looking at one another.

“Promise to stop looking for trouble for me okay, I don’t like seeing you in pain Korra” y/n whispered adverting her eyes from the girl feeling as if her heart could be beat right out of her chest at any moment. 

“I’ll try my hardest, but no promises y/n” korra smiled tucking a piece of stray hair behind y/n’s ear then bringing her hand to caress her cheek before leaning in.

y/n’s eyes fluttered shut the two girl’s lips meeting slowly melting into each other small explosions felt as if they were being shot off all over y/n’s skin. Korra smiling into the kiss not believing that this moment was finally happening. 

Heavy breaths were let out as they broke apart, foreheads resting against each other and legs intertwined. 

“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that for” Korra exclaimed pulling y/n close to her chest wrapping her arms around her waist wriggling into the bed comforter. 

“Probably as long as me” y/n smiled placing a kiss on Korra’s forehead before her eyes fluttering shut the warmness of the Avatar engulfing her body easing her off to sleep.

Korra fell asleep smiling listening to the gentle pattern of the settled rain and the beat of y/n’s steady heart.

[lezbanator]

A list of avatars and why I love them, in order.

I just recently found out about Kyoshi's backstory. She was a true underdog. No one wanted her. She was actually a servant to the person who everyone thought was the Avatar. I did't truly fall in love with her until I read the Rise of Kyoshi. At the beginning I thought she was this weak girl. It wasn't until I got to the part where she was making mountains from the bottom of the ocean. That was truly bad ass. After that anything she did was perfect to me.

I know she isn't everyones favorite, but when I was going through some hard times in my life she was there going though the same thing. She is also super powerful and her comics are pretty cool.

How can you not like Ang. He's the father of the atla franchise. I watched this boy grow into a man.

I dont know that much and Avatar Yangchen, but I know she was a great Avatar. She always tried to find the peaceful solution. Only going into the Avatar state a handful of times. People where still praising her up until Ang became the Avatar. That says something about her ability.

Avatar Roku was a family man. I liked how fair he was to the people he was serving as the Avatar. He didn't back down to injustice, even when his bestfriend got mad at him. That's what ended up killing him in the end.

Kuruk was a simple man who never wanted any responsibility in his life. He was to busy using his gift as the Avatar to impress other people instead of politics. Lets be honest if you could move all 4 elements what would you do?

[alullinchaos]

(putting in a reblog on purpose) these both also confuse me because in the world of avatar the difference between the world we see aang living in as a pre-teen and the world we see korra living in are like. 60-70 years apart, if I'm correctly remembering how old Aang was when he died? yet somehow they made a pretty big jump. i haven't seen legend of korra so i can't accurately name time periods but i do know that republic city (?) has skyscrapers which seem quite modern to me fim -> ang is a completely different confusion because in friendship is magic they didn't seem that far off from being able to have phones and stuff. like honestly it seemed more like the creators were trying to think through what it makes sense for magical horses to have and use in their daily lives; my evidence for this would be plotlines like the one involving "Countess Coloratura" where she has stage lights and twilight uses magic to record her manager's voice. why are they, 10+ generations later, just now getting to phones and all that shit? also honestly speaking we must also consider that most of the new technology we see in gen 5 was made without magic. entirely. which is a whole other level of confusion. the entire factory that sprout's mom runs makes all of that stuff WITHOUT magic??? wild. insane. in mlp's case I have to honestly say it feels like lazy writing made to make things relatable to kids/teens, and by that I mean the gen alpha kids who have never known life without tablets and phones and that kinda thing. reinforcing a worldview in which it's totally normal for everyone to have a ton of technology isn't really... good though in my opinion. fantasy means fantasy, people. even having things like cameras in gen4 felt a bit weird to me but not everyone can be a unicorn i guess idk the intersection of magic and technology is smth I think needs to be explored more within fiction, did this "new" generation of ponies feel they had to create all this technology to make up for a magic they didn't even understand they'd lost? that would be an interesting narrative. but I doubt it'll be one that appears.

idk if this is an already-named trope but I heavily dislike it when a media set in a historical time period decides to, in a sequel, suddenly shift time forward to a modern era two big examples of this for me are ATLA -> LOK and the difference between gen4 (friendship is magic) and gen5 ("a new generation," make your mark etc.) of my little pony.

[youareawfullyclose]

Hey! I just started to read the books about avatar Kyoshi, and I'm into drawing some of the scenes from the books, I'm new about sharing my own content here but I saw so much thirst post about people want to visualize those scenes from book all over the internet, so is there any suggestion scenes?

Here is some of my art work

[iceicebaby-mif]

some sketches from avatar and korra. Which should i do next?

[paige-from-my-book]

I honestly can't believe it took me so long to realize just how similar Sokka's and Prince Wu's singing is. Like obviously the badger moles love the same tune, duh.

[smiletosucceed]

The only good part of the legend of korra is when the baby air bison fly

[lesbitorte]

So, I'm reading the Atla comic books, I absolutely like Aang and Katara's relationship, but they're way to lovey dovey and call each other "sweetie" too much for my taste I say as I call everyone I care about "my love", "mi amor", "mi vida", "mí cielo" and "corazón".
