#airbender Ty Lee

[aangarchy]

any thoughts on the theory that Ty Lee is distantly descended from air nomad groups that escaped and went into hiding? I've seen it around a few times but the biggest supporting arguments are how she moves and her spirituality as well as her grey eyes

One of the bigger posts with this theory was made by someone i used to be friends with, and we discussed this matter a lot back when that post was doing the rounds

Personally i absolutely support this theory. Ty Lee seems to be a very spiritual person (always talking about auras, she seems to be very in tune with her emotions and how her presence affects others) and is very light on her feet. Combining this with her gray eyes and a similar facial structure to Aang (especially compared to other ppl we see from the fire nation) it gives a very solid footing for this theory.

I've always had this headcanon that Ty Lee's grandfather is one of the kids Aang used to play with at the southern airtemple, or at least just someone Aang knows. In my HC this kid manages to escape and finds a place to hide out in the fire nation, because a lot of simple folk from the fire nation don't agree with the war and what Sozin did, they help him out. Hiding is easy for him because he doesn't have his tattoos, and he hasn't used his airbending since the genocide. The only people that really knew of his bending are his "adoptive" family, but they all die with the secret. None of his own kids or grandkids knew until after the war, when Ty Lee takes an interest in the culture and goes and asks him about it since he's old enough to remember the airnomads, and it turns out that he was one. Ty Lee then goes up to Aang, and reunites him with her grandfather.

Azulaang - love

Azula: Hey Hippie, there's been something I've been meaning to ask you.

Aang: Let's hear it Zules.

Azula: Don't get me wrong, I am forever grateful you would choose me as your wife despite it all but since it's discovered that Ty Lee is an airbender and you were once the last airbender, wouldn't it have made more sense for you to have pursued her and give her an heir to better repopulate the air nomads?

Aang: Yeah, but I don't have to. I can give and take bending on a whim now. With these air acolytes coming together, I can decide which is the most qualified to be an airbender. In this way, I can be with whoever I want for the sake of love, not necessity.

Azula: True, true.

What if Ty Lee has Synesthesia (including, but not limited to, experiencing sounds as colors or shapes) and the auras she sees are vibrations in the air because she's an almost completely repressed airbender who's bending only comes through in her insane agility/ability to leap insane distances unharmed AND seeing vibrations in the air.... As Colors...

Today’s ATLA drawing is of Ty Lee. I added the Airbenders’ symbol because Airbender Ty Lee is canon to me. For @eustaciavye28.

I like to think that he was a lot like his dad, spending time with them and showering 'em with affection.

This has to already exist on Tumblr, it just has to, but I couldn't find it sooo, here it is, if the creator or their friends would like to step up and give me a link to their own original post I'd be glad to swap it out.

That said.

Ty Lee as an airbender descendant (with bending or not) might as well be canon because too many details totally add up. The eye color, the physical build, the personality, the skills.... It makes so much sense.

I haven't gotten to Ty Lee in my recent rewatch but I'm going to go in to it with that in mind and look for more details.
