I find it hilarious that it’s never addressed how/why Bumi was able to become the King of Omashu, but I have some working theories on it:

Bumi was the born crown prince of Omashu and just never told Aang either to fuck with him or because he wanted to make normal friends away from royalty.

Even better if Bumi actually did tell Aang but Aang forgot/wasn’t listening.

The previous King of Omashu saw Bumi and was like “yes. I want that guy to be the heir to the crown”.

The king of Omashu isn’t a born royal like the Earth King or Fire Lord, but is actually elected by the people, and Bumi is just super popular or runs uncontested (he kills his opponents).

The King of Omashu is based on who the strongest earth bender of Omashu is (I imagine a competition every year or so where all the earth benders of the city compete for the crown and Bumi just obliterates them).

Bumi overthrew the previous king for whatever reason (he was bored).

And my personal favorite:

There actually is no official King of Omashu. The Earth King is the only royal leader in the Earth Kingdom. Bumi just declared himself king and everyone was too scared/impressed that they just let him be king.

"We Know One Thing for Certain"

The dignitaries seated around the conference table looked uncomfortable, shifting in their seats. They didn’t expect the Avatar to defend the new Fire Lord with such intensity, and it had honestly startled them. 

Zuko had come to Ba Sing Se with the Avatar to discuss the reparations that the Fire Nation was going to pay to the Earth Kingdom. The two had already been discussing the prospect of de- commissioning half of the Fire Nation’s navy and giving it to the Earth Kingdom, Toph’s new metal bending making it an even more valuable resource. 

The two had brought it up at the conference, intending for it to begin the negotiations (Zuko didn’t feel right with only that— there was more he knew he could do, he just had to know what). However, some of the Earth Kingdom officials had demanded Zuko step down completely, and to allow the Earth Kingdom to occupy the Fire Nation under King Kuei’s rule (the Earth Kingdom monarch had said nothing at the head of the table opposite Zuko, and looked increasingly uncomfortable, eyes darting around as if he was looking for Bosco). Aang, who sat at Zuko’s right, seemed bewildered at the notion. 

“No. That's out of the question. To do so would upset the balance of the world even mores than the fire nation had,” he huffed, exasperated, 

“Sozin’s bloodline is full of monsters.” 

Aang’s head whipped up to find who said the words. it had been Councilman Di, a middle-aged man with graying hair and a beard that came to a sharp point. He had been a solider before a politician, and his aggressiveness reminded Aang of a fire bender much more than an earth bender. 

“What was that?” Aang’s tone seethed with venom, but he was going to give the man a chance to retract his statement.

But the man didn’t back down; “Fire Lord Zuko should step down. And not be replaced by General Iroh or Princess Azula. A new monarchy must be established in the wake of the royal family having wreaked havoc on the other nations for well over a century.” The man’s eyes narrowed at Zuko, “Sozin, Azulon, Ozai…all his forefathers. He was taught, born to war— it’s in his blood. So, if we want peace, he simply cannot be allowed to rule.” 

Silence hung over the room, but only for so long.

While those who didn’t know them would have expected Zuko to jump up to defend his family’s honor, those who did know him knew that his reckless fire had calmed much in the past few months. In the end, it was the Avatar who glowered in fury. 

“I can't believe this.” Aang said, a look of angered disbelief. “I mean, to occupy the Fire Nation? To do exactly what it is we’re trying to undo? To upset the balance even more than it already has been?” Aang’s eyes narrowed at the council, causing some to narrow their eyes back, but most to look guilty. 

“And you want Zuko, the first Fire Lord who actually wants peace, actually fought for it, to step down?” 

“You want to displace the actual heir to the throne, the person who actively fought against the Fire Nation, the fire bending master to the Avatar, and for what? A show of bravado? Just because you think you can? That’ll he’ll roll over and let you walk all over him as if he isn’t here to discuss what is best for all the nations?”

Aang was silent for a moment. 

“I am the last air bender. I am the sole voice for an entire nation, the nation that was absolutely obliterated by Fire Lord Sozin, and yet, I sit here and tell you that, without a doubt, the war would not have been ended without Zuko’s help. That’s it. Full stop.” 

Aang felt the agreement of Roku, of Kyoshi, of Kuruk, and of Yangchen. His past lives, representatives of each nation, all agree— Zuko was meant to be the Fire Lord. 

“The Earth Kingdom will be receiving a fourth of the Fire Nation’s navy to do with as they please, and that’s it. We will discuss the colonies at the later date, with more respectable representatives!”

At Aang’s last sentence, the windows of the room all shattered. 

It would be the talk of the entire world for the next few days, how the Avatar had so vehemently defended the young monarch. How he had yelled at the Earth Kingdom council. How he shattered the windows, the call of his past lives voicing their thoughts. 

A young dignitary, who was re-invited to the peace talks the next day, walked out of the chamber with another ambassador from the North who had been seated next to her.

“Well, we know one thing for certain,” she said, almost jokingly, “the Avatar is scarier than the fire lord when he’s mad.”

Simplificación de diseños...

Fue una practica divertida- nun

Todos se ven tan lindos. quq

Creo que a Liam, Charlotte y a Elizabeth se les nota muy distintos...

Elizabeth se ve bien linda...quq Y Rosalie, esta bien, pero... la prefiero dibujar en mi estilo normal.

Perdonen las manos de Khalil, se nota que no quise cometer el mismo error escondiendo las manos con Liam. Pero en cuanto al diseño, me encanta el diseño de Khalil, se ve elegante y muy guapa. quq Y Liam se ve todo bonito y pequeño. qvq

Y pues Everett... no cambio mucho... ES QUE NO ENCUENTRO FORMA DE SIMPLIFICARLO- SI CON SU DISEÑO NORMAL ENCUENTRO DIFICULTAD, SIMPLIFICARLO PEOR-

Pero Charlotte, mi reina, mi vida, toda bonita- quq 💖

Ponerle un peinado parecido al del padre me dio sentimientos. qwq

Wey, porque no puse su cabello como el de su papi desde un inicio? :''U Se ve bien linda. yuy Me gusto mucho los resultado- quq

Who’s gonna tell him?

I support this theory. Anything to survive the despicable witch that Zaheer disposed of for us.

So while rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, I noticed a trend

A number of spirits we see have an animal form, specifically animals we recognize as "normal" for us. For example:

- Wan Shi Tong is an owl and his knowledge seekers are foxes

- Tui and La are koi fish

- Hei Bai is a panda

-The guardian of the mother of faces is a wolf (The Search)

Heck there's even the talking Baboon spirit and the monkey missing its face that we see in the Spirit World at the end of Season 1.

Basically every time we've seen a "normal" animal, they've been a spirit.

My point? I argue that Bosco is a spirit bear that's chilling and living the good life in the mortal world just because he can.

many things about the chronicles of Narnia made me irrevocably insane at the small age of six years old but one of the big ones was the bit in prince Caspian where caspian blows susan's horn to try and summon help and it summons the pevensie kids like. that's crazy ok. that's insane. imagine at 12 years old you're given a horn thats purpose is basically summoning divine intervention & then years later someone blows it and summons YOU . I'm crazy !

the revelation that claudia’s rebirth was such a twisted and horrible moment, with louis dragging her like she was a thing, a stranger who neither of them knew but he kept saying over and over “our daughter, our beautiful little daughter” to lestat, really solidified the way she was never the main character of her own story. she was always an accessory to some or the other of louis’ whims: his guilt, his loneliness, his conflict of being a killer, his rocky relationship with lestat. there was love there, love from both her fathers, but it was never enough. lestat saw her too much as a wretched mirror held up to his own self, and louis was always too steeped in his own feelings to care enough about hers. claudia’s story truly was the greatest tragedy in this tale, treated horribly by every man around her, even her fathers, relentlessly exploited and brutally ignored, always second and never first. the only one who loved her the way she deserved to be loved was madeleine, and the moment she truly had her, her happiness was torn from her. and just before she died, she got to see someone actually choose her in her entirety, not for what she can be but for who she is, and it still wasn’t enough. she still burned alive in the sunlight. the love was there, but it wasn’t enough to save her.

Something I noticed that I thought was kind of cool is that Appa liking Zuko is the reason Aang even listened to him at first.

The reason the Earth King heard Team Avatar out when they were trying to convince him Long Feng was corrupt and they were at war was because Bosco liked Aang.

The animals, man. They know.

Dc x Dp Prompt #6

“I’m a twin”, Damian said one night. He could feel the narrowed eyes of his family drilling holes on his back in disbelief. Not that he could blame them. Damian had never so much as implied being raised with a companion, much less a sibling.

“I had a brother”. Damian paused to recollect himself. He had not said his brother’s name out loud in over 8 years.

“His name was… Danyal”. Damian hated the way his voice wavered, but he could not help it. Danyal was everything to him, his other half. Their heart beat as one and when one heart stopped beating, the other one died with it. At least until his family put his heart on metaphorical life support without ever realizing.

“Where is he now?” His father asked, voice filled with knowing grief and a hint of betrayal. It had in fact been 6 years since Damian first showed up on his doorstep.

“Up there”. All eyes shifted towards the specific star he was pointing to. “Right before he died, he promised me he’d guide me from the stars. Unfortunately, the stars are not visible in Gotham, so my brother is unable to be of much help unless I leave the city.”

“Your brother is Polaris, the North Star?” Tim questioned warily, most likely in attempts to not offend him. Damian was aware of how stupid it sounded, but Danyal had promised, and his brother never broke his promises.

“Yes. Danyal is with the stars now, just as he always wanted”
