🦋🦋Design Concept 🦋🦋

It is said that in the Northland, there is a magical forest that only appears on lightning nights.

After the free creatures leave, they will turn into butterflies and rest here.

Tonight, will anyone go to that forest as the legend says?

The white mist rising from the dead trees, the lost children, the memories hidden deep in the heart...

When the memories reunited, Norwin suddenly remembered the name he had never forgotten.

The psionic butterfly fluttered over and gently touched his lips, as if telling of endless longing.

After tonight, the wind stopped and the snow stopped, the morning sun rose outside the window, and the Northland ushered in a long-lost sunny day.

The dusty door slowly opened, and the ancient prophecy appeared again on the inconspicuous dead wood staff,

"Get rid of the child of destiny and end the fateful struggle."

🦋🦋Design Hilight 🦋🦋

The flickering phantom butterflies fly through the white mist, dancing between dreams and memories.

The black dead trees stand in the night, and the lanterns hanging high emit a quiet cold light.

The mist after nightfall is the will of the forest, guiding the creatures to peace and rest.

Waiting for the next ATLA Trilogy Comic

do you lile the comics or do you think the characters or are they OOC

Aang in the promise reminded me of zuko in season 1.

Hotheaded, even kinda nationalistic with no social awareness. How comes he completely forgets katara

Oooh I love that question.

First of all, starting with the Promise. Yeah, they are mostly out of character in that comic. Aang agreeing to kill Zuko after we spent the whole finale establishing he refuses to kill? Like, that’s baffling. Plus, Zuko acting like a child, going to his father for advice and marching his army to Yu Dao, instead of sitting down with Aang and talking it out? We spent 3 seasons watching Zuko grow into a mature young man and he just goes back to his old ways in the first comic? That wasn’t great. Although I did like the overall conflict of the series, the characters were not done right.

But, I wouldn’t call Aang a nationalist. You have to remember, Aang lost his entire culture and he’s the only one who’s left to preserve it and to pass it on. Seeing people blatantly disrespecting his culture and using it as a costume made him see things differently. He was just afraid that his way of life would be lost if he let the nations clash. Yes, his way of thinking was wrong but it was also justified in the context of the comic. Of course he came to a realization that he cannot gatekeep his culture and people from different nations should be able to live together. I think it was a good character growth for him. Which is a lot more than I can say for Zuko, at least.

Now, I’m not sure I understand what you mean by saying he forgot Katara? Are you referring to the first comic? Cause they were together the whole time and I feel like her opinion and counsel were what mattered the most to him. In terms of Kataang, I think they were written really well in the comics. They have cute little romantic moments and also moments where they realize they’re pretty much the ones responsible for the fate of the world and really sit down and think things through and reach a decision together. I love that.

I could say Aang kinda forgot about Katara in the Rift for a while there, but it’s kinda minor. Other than that, in every other comic, they’re always together and written well so I like Kataang in the comics a lot.

Overall, the comics are not for everyone but I do enjoy them, I think they’re cute additions for the universe if you don’t think too hard about them. They’re pretty entertaining, for the most part.

My favorite one is definitely Imbalance, it just balances the characters perfectly, everyone gets a moment to shine and the main conflict is actually really ineteresting and sets up the main conflict in Korra really well.

My ranking of the comics if you’re interested

1. Imbalance - like I said the main conflict is awesome and the characters feel like themselves, Toph is a freaking badass in this one.

2. The Rift - I love Toph in this, she really gets to shine and again, Aang’s inner conflict is what makes this comic for me. The way he wants to preserve his people’s memory and culture in middle of all the inevitable progress.

3. The Search - it’s cute. Just the Gaang on an adventure, that’s always fun.

4. The Promise - it has its problems but I like the conflict after the war, I think it’s very nuanced and interesting.

5. Smoke and Shadow - Kinda boring

6. North and south - it was a bit repetitive and the main conflict seemed a little bit silly in my opinion. Katara is also a little out of character.

last night episode really got me thinking about elsa and rhaenys’ relationship, both when rhaela was alive and after she passed and rhaenys and corlys took her in (bc why wouldn’t they 🤡 … uncle daddy and auntie step mom). It’s such a tumultuous ride tho … rhaenys initially harboring ill will towards her because she’s technically corlys’ first born to being incredibly instrumental in raising her bc she KNEW her sister’s time with her was going to be short.

i ran out of tags to tag spoilers so: h*td spoilers dawgs for last nights hour of torture.

rhaenys, even if she didn’t show it as much, thought of Elsa as her own and Elsa, despite not showing it, always looked to her for the mother she was robbed of far too soon. The two argued like a parent and child might, the flew their dragons together, laughed and drank and mourned with one another.

But there was always a little sting, a little bit of resentment especially after Laena and Laenor passed, because while her only two children perished… Corlys’ child still lived and thrived and she always had to remind herself that Elsa wasn’t privy to her lineage. Only thought Corlys’ treated her as a daughter because that was expected of him as her aunt’s husband.

It’s not until everything is really laid out in the open that she’s able to let go of that little chip on her shoulder, to let it fall away so she can fully remember and realize the promise she had made to her sister on her death bed all those years ago; she has done far more for elsa than even SHE realized.

and then THIS happens … and the fact that they don’t even get to say goodbye. the fact that the last time they saw each other rhaenys was only catching a glimpse of her hauling ass north because something had gone amiss once jace departed from there. she never got to tell her just how much she loved her and loved raising her. that any anger or resentment or callousness she showed her at ANY point of her life had been ill placed and accidental. she never got to REALLY tell her how proud of her she was. how much of a privilege it had been to raise her up into the woman and mother she had become. she definitely does not see her late sister when she looks at her, but rather sees herself.

and when elsa returns, and in her grief goes to the alter by the tide pools that she’s visited far too often in her lifetime she absolutely loses it. while normally she’d have whittled a piece of wood to look like who she had lost, she stands there and just looks at the line of pieces that are already there; her mother, her grandmother, aemma, laena, laenor, viserys, luke, and her own son, rickon…she can’t put rhaneys there, she just can’t.

and in her grief and rage she destroys it, destroys the one place of peace she’s had all those years. destroys her once place of reflection and one place she could grieve uninterrupted. she rips the alter of driftwood and stone apart with her bare hands, knuckles bleeding.

it’s not a place of remembrance or reflection. it’s a glaring reminder of everything and everyone she’s lost. the empty spaces, a place holder for who might have an effigy placed there next; her husband, her daughters, her only remaining son, her nieces, her nephews, her queen and cousin, her father … the list goes on.

and all the while her dragon watches, feeling every ounce of her grief tenfold, and it’s unlike the kind she’s shared with her before. but when it’s all said am done, just like when elsa was fourteen and had lost her mother, frosteye lifts one opal wing, battle scars from them turning the tide in north still healing, and invites her under. and elsa accepts just as she did before, crawling beneath the wing, sand singing her split knuckles, drawing herself into a fetal position and weeping like a babe.

but she knows rhaenys isn’t coming to check on her like before. she knows frosteye won’t chortle and shift at the high valaryian spoken so softly and clearly to calm her upon approach.

she’s surrounded by so many, needed by so many. but she’s never felt so alone in rhaenys’ absence.

Poll Request: Question = Did the comics improve or ruin the story told in the series.

This is about : the promise, the search, the rift, smoke and shadow, north and south. Also includes the toph metalbending academy & suki alone.

NOT korra comics. NOT team avatar tales / lost adventures, which are mostly set during the main story. NOT the novels. NOT the azula comic because it is not out yet.

“ I don’t understand why they are called the last city. I mean we’re out here! And there’s like- that weird Awoken place! And that Neo… place!” Leah grumbles, hauling the sack up to Anoris.

He shrugs.

Tel doesn’t look up from where she lies on her stomach, flicking through a datapad. “I don’t think I would necessarily call any of our settlement cities. Also, it’s the last city on earth.”

Azazel huffs, taking the storage back from Anoris and tossing it into the towering spire they had fashioned into a store room. “So what the hell is Novac then?” he asks, his voice spiteful and dismissive. He glares at Telemachus. “And you could be helping us,” he hisses.

“Novac’s more a town, I think,” Anoris muses, taking the next storebag from Leah. “Also General’s here to supervise.”

Azazel bristles at the use of the title but says nothing.

“The Bleaks? Goldwater? Chartown? New Eden? Daphstown?” Leah lists, counting in her fingers. “And that’s just the places we’re on good terms with!”

“Holdouts ain’t cities,” Tel responds.

“What’s the difference?”

“City got walls.”

I just bought 3 more of the ATLA graphic novel omnibuses LETS GO

[songofwizardry]

more for your consideration:

the phrase "The Great Lakes" now refers to the African great lakes in the East African Rift Valley (which include Lake Victoria, Lake Tanganyika, Lake Malawi, Lake Albert, Lake Turkana...)

the "Plegde of Allegiance" now refers to the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the Philippines

the "dollar" with no additional clarification refers to the currency of Brunei

We've had enough of the English-speaking internet defaulting to USAmerican terms that we are all forced to learn against our will. Here are the new default settings:

"Southern" no longer means Texas. It now refers to the Philippine island of Mindanao.

"The Midwest" is now Harare, Zimbabwe.

The default legal system is now that of the devolved administration of Scotland.

"College" is an educational institution for 13 to 18 year olds, as in some parts of New Zealand.

The "president" is that of Guyana, currently Irfaan Ali.

If you use these terms to refer to something in the USA then you have to specify or else we won't know what you're talking about and you'll sound like an idiot. Thanks!

where do u think jayce immigrated from? i saw somewhere saying shurima with probably mixed ixtali parents. ixtal bc it was once a part of the shurima empire. north african, west asian, latino king… especially wild rift survivor jayce has that look to me.

Remembered this ask just now so stealing tidbits from my fic;

I think Jayce is the son of an Ixtali mother & a Piltovan father. He has this line in s1 stating 'My father put hammers in the hands of the people, and they built this magnificent city. Imagine the wonders they could create if we put magic in their hands.' - to me this shows a historical link between the Talis-dad side & being in service of Piltover, Jayce has shaped himself around this idealistic goal all his life and its really not what he imagined it would be.

now Ixtal is the Leagueoflegends-verse region based on Aztec/Mayan aesthetics and general southamerican flair. They survived multiple apocalyptic threats by weaving a jungle around themselves and cutting their people off from the rest of runeterra. Canonically, this region has been the target of colonization efforts by both Noxus and Piltover, though neither have found much success. The jungle has a way of disappearing people. Even More Ironically, Ixtal is one of the regions where magic is harnessed and allowed to go free; in their own words, they are THE oldest bastion of ancient knowledge, masters of the elements. In my view, this makes it so Jayce is both metaphorically and literally reaching for an inheritance that has been denied to him.

Everyone mentions the mountains when talking about immigration but there are mountains outside of Piltover! They're not in Freljord! i know this because i asked Amanda myself. It's likely Ximena & Jayce were up in the mountain for work reasons like mining.

Also, the mountain stuff gives him even more ties to Mexican heritage:
