Cultural Fashion: Katara's Fire Nation Outfit

Was looking at some of my old posts and wanted to re-do a few of them, now that I'm 4 years older wiser.

Katara's Fire Nation outfit is inspired by the outfits worn during traditional Dai folk dance performances. These outfits are typically comprised of form-fitting tops that show off the midriff paired with flowing skirts or pants that emphasizes the elegant movements of the dancer. The necklace and other accessories that Katara wears are also reminiscent of the costume jewelry worn for these performances.

The Dai minority group refers to several Tai-speaking ethnic groups in southern China (Yunnan province) that are closely related to Lao and Thai people, both linguistically and culturally. They're a great inspiration for Fire Nation fashion. Fittingly, Katara debuts this outfit in the show's dancing-focused episode. Below are some examples of the elegance of Dai dance:

The "Peacock Dance" is the most famous Dai dance:

I love you video games that have ambient sounds of people casually humming/singing while working or idling or drinking, without any accompaniment of music

Odysseus with his head in his wife's lap, happily not paying attention to anything, humming one of athenas song and carving something

Some random guy: your majesty----

Odysseus: not bothering to sit up: whatever my wife decided is fine.

As an eligible young noble of no small fame, Ambroys had a number of arranged courtships and suitresses in his youth, but any nascent marriages always fell through.

It's not that he didn't try; he certainly knew how to court a lady (perhaps too well, according to many fathers and husbands), and when he lacked knowledge on the affairs of womens' hearts, he sought counsel from a young woman who was a dear friend of his (perhaps too much counsel, according to his own father). Nonetheless, all he garnered for his efforts was separation after separation.

Ah, well. Maybe it was for the best.

Rip Polites you would love Hermes.

You would be this guy's first choir. You two would share a weed pipe of friendship. You two would fly and dance and sometimes even not only in your head.

What went down when Odysseus arrived At Troy with Paris being :D while Odysseus is carrying Telemachus thinking of 1001 ways to screw with Paris for kidnapping him and his son away from Penelope?

Odysseus started projecting his period cramps onto Paris. /j

On a more serious note, I have this snippet in mind:

"So that's what I am now? A damsel at best and a whore at worst?" had the bitterness on his tongue weighed less, Odysseus might've had more tact, especially towards his patron goddess.

(Any god could betray a mortal with little to no consequence, but that never applies to a mortal that offends a god.)

"Is that what you believe, son of Laertes?" the owl's feathery brow cocks upwards ever so slightly, which is Athena's equivalent of a disappointed groan.

Odysseus breathed once, twice, and hated how his chest still twinged at the lack of salt and goats in his lungs despite the walls towering outside his sliver of a window.

Instead, he focused on the bundle that remains in his arms, on the beautiful embroidery and artful weaving of the blanket, the downy curls as dark and beautiful as the woman who birthed this precious babe.

There was a difference between belief and fact, blurred as those lines could easily be.

And Odysseus, warrior of the mind, was taught to put his faith in facts.

Fact: he is a prisoner in a gilded cage.

Fact: escape will not be easy.

Fact: he is neither damsel nor whore. He is a king, a warrior and more importantly, a husband to Penelope and father to Telemachus.

"No." he replies, cradling his little wolf closer to his chest. "I do not believe that."

Had she a mouth in place of a beak, Athena would've smiled.

"I still intend to make sure you don't fall behind. Don't forget you're still a warrior of a very special kind." Athena intoned.

"A warrior of the mind." Odysseus echoed solemnly.

"Don't disappoint me." Odysseus blinked and Athena was gone, nary a feather left as evidence of her visit.

I can’t decide if Zeus picked Calypso’s island because he wanted to torture Odysseus some more with the fact this goddess was keeping him here from his true love treating him like a pet a taste of the love he craved but twisted— a sort of tantalization and constant reminder of his sins and what he sacrificed everything for accept he’ll never get it, all in one.

Or he in all his Zeus douche baggery ‘I cheat on my wife because it’s a Tuesday and I’m bored’ magnanimousness was trying to do Ody a solid. And thought living on an island with everything you can ever want and a hot woman throwing her self at you would be like a gift.
