#atla original scripts

[starlight-bread-blog]

Still salty over this not making it into the actual show..

From the original script of The Southern Raiders.

Not just because my Zutarian heart is melting, (it is though). But because how appropriate it is. Katara has always been "the mother", because she lost her mother. She always took care of everyone, doing all the emotional labor. Now someone's giving her opportunity to seek justice, listening to her, validate her feelings, support her all the way. And she's finally relaxed.

[sup-geek]

Kinda ticked to see I apparently hadn't actually reblogged this as when it premiered. 😑

Original Script Analysis, Part 2: The Southern Raiders, The Finale, and What I Think About it All

Link to Part 1

So folks, when it comes to literary analysis, there are two categories that textual interpretations typically fall under: the Doylist explanation, and the Watsonian explanation. 

Watsonian explanations will contextualise an issue solely within the bounds of the story it is told in, so the answer to any question will be, essentially, “in-universe”. Imagine interviewing a character in the story, and asking them, “why did x happen” or, “why did y character decide to do z”. The answer you get will be a Watsonian answer.

Doylist explanations, on the other hand, are explanations that take into account things the characters themselves wouldn’t “have access to”, so to speak. These explanations often touch on writing concepts like theme, character arcs, tropes, setup and payoff etc, sometimes even referring to “real-world” motivations, intentions, or constraints that the creators were working with (or against). If an explanation or an answer to a question doesn’t sound like anything the characters themselves could have come up with, it’s probably a Doylist explanation.

I’m going to give an example from Titanic that I hope isn’t a spoiler to anybody at this point given how much this film has been memed to shit:

I’ve started to read the part of Abe no Seimei Monogatari about Douman and it lead me to realize the English translation of Heian-kyo omitted an important name for no real reason?

It’s not just “a sage”, he specifies the sage “Houdou” (法道仙人). Which is important because in Abe no Seimei Monogatari, Douman is a descendant of Ashiya Kiyofuto, who met and studied under Houdou and wrote down his teachings in a book which Douman mastered in secret. (After which he lies and claims he’s a disciple of Houdou)

I’m reading a translation into modern Japanese which also includes a ton of annotations, this is the one about Houdou, which even mentions him being from Tianzhu (=India)’s Vulture Peak. (天竺の霊鷲山)

OH THE INTRO IS SOOOOO BAD NAAUURRR 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

[folkorae]

Husband and i are two episodes from finishing the atla live action and all i am going to say is: the series is been very good and it is a very good adaptation so far.

[iminaworldofpureimagination]

with how garbage the script was in the end i cna't help but wonder if his original was any good or if they were just being nice and just helping him cut down the hours .. so many questions without answers . tho i read that nick wantede to switch it to 3d and that caused some problems.. but maybe dont make a movie just bec your daughter wore a costume... seems rather silly to me. If i had to guess they prob had afallout with either the guys ego/some producers /both.. i can belive they didn't want a movie and just went along with it cause its not like they own avatar it belongs to viacom you cant tell a corp not to make a movie of your show they own.

its also kinda funny in this one it predicts the future of maybe this will happen where we work on a live action again.. also the whole Aaron vs Byrke /zutara/kataang is proven even more dumb in the first vid.. because Mike is a Zuko Fan, and bryan is his best friend.. .tho it was always dumb..

[shiftinghoesblog]

yapping about my drs ❕❕

okay so this was a request from one of my moots to do this so yeah!!

i have no clue where to start but i’ll talk about some of my desired realities that i shift to but probably mainly non group shift ones so personal ones 🫦

INFLUENCER

- this is one of my most recent drs i’ve been scripting and not gonna lie the main reason i’m shifting here is because of my man 🤭 he cosplays gojo... so you probably know as to why but besides the point, i was raised a nepo baby and younger sister to meghan thee stallion. i am a content creator, influencer (duh), fashion designer and i live with my s/o in the upper east side of new york🗽. i scripted that my first shift will be during christmas eve because who wouldn't wanna experience the city that never sleeps during the festive season and with your partner 😩 it’s gonna be the dream. i have a mad crazy friend group but i love them all because we’re so hot, cool and sexy. i did script that megan’s parents are still alive in my dr so let’s not worry about that. 💀 i dreamt about this dr a couple of times actually and about my s/o 😍, a couple of my friends. really looking forward to this dr.

OUTER BANKS

- i think i shifted here like twice or a couple of times but didn't realise it because i did mention to y’all about chilling with kiara and sarah, another time i did find myself surfing like literally just living the life through the waves and my ass thought it was a dream. looking back i doubt it was, in many instances to be honest. in this dr i am the sister to kiara and my s/o is pope 😌 i grew up a kook but i transitioned to a pogue when i joined the others. i’m the reason behind kiara and sarah making up and i’m close with rafe since kiara and sarah were best friends and probably would have sleepovers together. i scripted that cleo’s lesbian lmao 😭 you know why. i wiped the plot out a little and also made everyone graduate already so that school is out of the way when hunting for the gold.

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER

yep, i have an atla dr yay! in this dr i’m the oldest sister to kiara and sokka. i’m a waterbending master and my s/o’s zuko??? enemies to lovers kinda vibe. definitely part of the gaang and i’m shifting here because atla is part of my childhood. i have the ability to also create ice and other powerful combat skills so i can't wait to experience this universe.

LEGENDS OF KORRA

i also have a lok dr because why not, i’m the little sister to korra the avatar but i’m gonna prove to everyone that i’m also capable to make a difference and i scripted that i can blood bend.. so ain't no one gonna touch me as well still being able to water bend. my s/o is bolin because he’s so underrated for real.

THE ORIGINALS

in this dr, i’m a hybrid so vampire and werewolf and an adopted mikealson. i live in new orleans and my parents are rebekah and marcel even though their not my bio parental figures because they are already dead 💀. also hopefully i can survive when dahlia comes in because i scripted that my first shift will be during season 2 😓 well shit wish me luck y’all. at least i’ll get to see baby hope aw.

FAME

i have a fame dr because i love attention 🥰 my main profession is being an actor and i’m known for my role in the vampire diaries. i also play robin in the one piece live action and act in many more projects, a nepo baby in this dr too because almost all my family members are well-known. my s/o is caleb mclaughlin? he plays lucas in stranger things and our characters in the show dated so that’s how our relationship sparked.

TWILIGHT

i love talking about drs so yeah i have a twilight dr where when i first shift, i’ll be human but i get turned by a villain in order to send the cullens (my friends) a warning like it’s “game on” so i’m gonna have to mentally prepare myself because i’m gonna basically die 😭 lmao. my s/o is jacob because i’m team jacob simple and it’s a slow burn 😀 woop woop.

ROYAL

I guess this blog will be updated regularly because I have a new and quite recent dr I just finished scripting like the other day. this reality is basically me being a soon-to-be queen princess and thinking about if the one piece live action × royalty had a mashup?? yeah, it's that. I'm shifting back to the 1600s-1800s which is where this dr is set, so I'm really excited about this one.

SOME OTHER DRS

waiting room - i plan on permashifting here, chill, script, feel free, play with my cat, breath fresh air.

better cr - a better version of my cr and my s/o is jiung from p1harmony, i live with jenna ortega, i attend a boarding school in london, i also model.

wednesday - i’m the sister to bianca and my s/o is kent, i’m a siren and psychic medium.

fate: the winx saga - it’s so underrated i see no one shift here but it’s like the winx live action adaption on netflix, the only dr where i didn't script an s/o.

ateez - my s/o is san and i’m the only female and 9th member, main rapper, performer and maknae.

streamer - i go by lemonpie and my s/o is cory kenshin 😚.

victorious - grew up watching it and i’m andre’s sister.

soloist - i’m a k-pop soloist in this dr and my s/o is blackpink jisoo (yes I’m wlw) she’s so 😍😍😍.

singles inferno - this is a dating reality tv show but at the end of it i end up with wonho (ex. monsta x) i’m besties with song jia.

GROUP SHIFTS

not gonna lie they piss me off if they don’t put the damn effort

one piece (anime) - so far my most enjoyable one is the one piece (anime) shared dr because we talk almost everyday. anywho my s/o is sanji ahhh my vinsmoke baby! i’m the little sister to the asl brothers and my devil fruit is similar to aokoiji so ice ect. i am part of the straw hats and joined them during the alabasta arc.

kard - the k-pop co-ed group basically, me and the person barely talk so you see why i prefer my personals drs.. yeah. my s/o is enhypen’s jay 😍 and my positions are sub-rapper, sub-vocalist, producer and maknae. i’m always a maknae in k-pop group drs for some reason 😭.

the legacies - person dipped on me and didn't even fill any of their sections so! i’m poly with hope and josie, i’m a werewolf and witch.

harry potter - i’m the head girl of slytherin and my s/o’s draco, i scripted fred’s death out. also shifting to the half-blood prince era.

teen wolf - i’m a tribrid in this dr so i’m gonna be unstoppable!

the vampire diaries - a bennett witch, cousin to bonnie.

one piece (live action) - i’m a phoenix hybrid in this dr and also part of the straw hats, grew up around shanks.

romance - umm this dr ticks me off low-key because the person that i’m group shifting with ghosts me 😝 i didn't script an s/o for a reason i’m just gonna ditch them for jonathan daviss 💀💀💀 like imagine fumbling manon (I'm shifting as manon from katseye in this dr) i don’t want that person as my s/o anymore and like we’re “friends” here, miss me with that shit.

my hero academia - the group shift is dead bro no one is fucking talking in the group chat, one of them quit shifting, the other i was pfp matching with changed their damn pfp without telling me. script ain't finished too, they all called it a day. and y'all wonder why i don't wanna join no group shift no more.

this was lengthy but y’all asked to yap about my drs other than jujutsu kaisen which you already know about that dr and spill some tea so i did exactly that, i hope you enjoyed and this better not flop, i spent hours typing this 🥳.

@angelic-daiquiri

there has been minor positive changes to some realities that i shift to i.e the romance dr is now a shared one with my platonic soulmate who does put effort in the group shift (i kicked the inactive one i complained about out) and i didn't end up with JD (jonathan daviss) that is my best friend, my s/o is currently the love of my life (dominic fike) and i couldn't be happier.

Part 4 with the cast from Danganronpa 3

[sulkybender]

guys I understand the concern about the new ATLA show in terms of “will this make more people hate on Korra” but.

we will never get subtle writing and meaningful storylines if we are always worried about and agitating against signs of human complexity and vulnerability because we don’t trust the audience and are worried how incels will respond.

the target audience cannot be incels.

the beauty of the original series is that it did trust its viewers with big complicated topics. and we’ve seen exactly what happens, in NATLA, when the script does not trust its audience with complexity.

don’t worry about how other people will interpret this new show, which doesn’t exist yet, particularly people who have made up their minds already to hate Korra. watch it for yourself.

Man, this is damned hilarious, Good Lord!

And interesting. Man, this gives to me some ideas.

Our guy with a tamil name Who means "dark" (and casually remembers a plane) could have a bit of justice and advise.

ATLA Original Scripts: Extra Goodies

As I’m sure you may have guessed, the very first script I chose to open at the WGF was The Southern Raiders (I mean, can you blame me? 🤣). But shippy lore and zutara fandom history aside, I did unearth quite a few unrelated tidbits, author’s notes and script changes that I found interesting or funny enough to note down. As promised, here is a compilation of some of these tidbits, with little connecting theme or pattern other than “I thought the fandom might find these snippets interesting” 😁

1. Elizabeth and Aaron Ehasz are genuinely hilarious.

show me the world as it could be [horizon, aloy/talanah, E]

overcome me, baby. [blue eye samurai, mizu/akemi, T]

what was your biggest pit of despair moment? I've had quiet a few. Writing's hard for me, y'all. Worth it, but hard.

what have you learned? Finally enough to start working with purpose on something original.

did you beta any fics? any faves you want to shout out? Some AWESOME Neve/Rook fics by both @melikochan and @rose-s-587!

What do you thing about the preproduction series bible for Avatar the Last Airbender? Seems to be a lot interesting stuff there. You can find it in a google drive in one of the reddit comments.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastAirbender/comments/14rmkbb/original_production_guide_for_atla_leaked/

It's also fully posted on Reddit here, with analysis of validity. I first encountered it on the linked Avatar Spirit forum thread. I even wrote a short story based on one of the unused plot ideas.

Overall, I love having the look at what could have been and the development process, and a few of the ideas are pretty neat. While what was got was generally superior, one idea I'd like to see recycled is an Avatar who has to get around the world without an animal to ride (especially another sky bison), using Bending to either power a vehicle or directly move around. And I'd love to see a re-use of the idea of a false master corrupting a student.

Perhaps there will be a version of that in the new show.

Zuko's lack of a story here is pretty glaring. There's no redemption arc for him until the final season and, it seems, little interest in exploring his character. He doesn't have a process of seeing the impact of the war, he just flips a switch only when he sees his own countrymen being mistreated. We've heard that Zuko only became a deuteragonist at the suggestion of one of the executive producers, so I wonder if this subplot is the beginning of trying to do that without a real concept of what it would entail, or if the executive saw this in the bible and suggesting beefing it up.

The ending is notable for breaking up the gAang and sending them back to their respective homes. Even leaving aside that this bible has no mention of how the romantic subplots resolve, it's interesting that this original vision didn't want to make the main characters into a permanent multi-national team. It even creates the possibility of Aang finding a new Air Nation and joining with them. This feels like it goes against the major theme of the cartoon of friendship and family, something evoked as early as 'The Southern Air Temple' where the cure for Aang's Avatar State session is Katara and Sokka professing that they're his new family. This reinforces something I've found in my own writing, that I can start plotting with some vague ideas about the work's themes, but the real meaning of the work will make itself apparent after I've outlined the first version of the complete story, and then I can streamline and emphasize its nature.

And of course it almost goes without saying that the decision to make Toph and Azula into girls might have been the most valuable changes in the entire development process.

So yeah, it's always a treat to get such a look into the development of a favorite story. I've been spoiled by being a Star Wars fan and so many of those original scripts being published, but the most wild journey of this kind I've seen is the evolution of Jeff Smith's 'Bone' comic series from the original fantasy/gag strip 'Thorn.' The AtLA we know is still very visible in this bible, but the negative space where some of the best stuff was is a lot of fun to poke at.

[stardust948]

To keep on theme with the recent Urzai week:

Do you have any headcanons for them? Either canon atla of your own au

I have some for both!

Canon:

It was always an arranged marriage whether Ursa was a noble's daughter or if we're following the comics and she grew up as a peasant. She and Ozai had a bit of an awkward start, but they learned to get along mainly out of survival. (The Fire Nation Courts are brutal especially when you're the Firelord's least favorite).

Ozai is lowkey a simp. Ursa said one genuine nice thing to him, and he nearly went into an angst coma.

Ursa reigned Ozai in a lot which is why things immediately went down the drain after she left.

PDA is frown upon for Fire Nation royalty, so Ozai would make up for it by buying a lot of gifts for Ursa.

Ozai always planned for Ursa to return and rule by his side which is why he never remarried. She eventually fell of radar and presumed dead.

Once Ursa returned after the war and sided with Zuko's anti-imperialism, Ozai saw it as a betrayal and personal rejection much like how Azula viewed Mai and Ty Lee after the Boiling Rock. (Yes, Ursa was previously an imperialist like the rest of the Fire Nation Royal family).

Brave is the heart that loves / Dragon AU:

Ozai and Ursa did shortly break up after they ran away together. Both were very stressed from trying to survive on the streets and got into a huge fight.

They spent a couple of days apart before tracking down each other. They both apologized and promised to support one another from then on.

Zuko was conceived that night.

Frenemies / High School AU:

They got together freshman year when Ozai filled as the Dragon King when the original actor Ikem got sick. It was Ozai's first real play in the Performing Arts high school he fought his father tooth and nail to enroll in, so of course he was nervous. But Ursa helped him through it.

They had an impromptu kiss on stage during opening night. The director liked it so much he added it to the script permanently. Ikem was highly pissed because he was going to use the play to confess to Ursa, but Ozai beat him to it.

They had an on again off again relationship throughout high school. It was either a lot of PDA or screaming matches. Sometimes both at the same time.

The relationship became toxic senior year, so Ursa broke up with Ozai for good. But by graduation, they were on friendly terms after some personal growth.

A few years later, they reunited at Hakoda and Kya's wedding and decided to give their relationship another chance. Since they're more mature this go round, it worked out and they get married sometime later.

Their friends, the rest of the Gaang's parents, NEVER let them live down their cringy high school years.

Apothecary AU:

Ozai set out to make Ursa his pawn, but he ended up becoming hers'.

He becomes legit depressed after Ursa was fired from her apothecary job to the point Iroh convinced Azulon to let her return.

Ursa loves it when Ozai drops his stern prince act and goofs around with her.

The whole palace knows they're courting before they do.

Ursa's a little unhinged in this AU and often experiments on herself to test the medicines. Ozai had learned the hard way not to eat her food or tea.

That said, Ursa was way too eager to help Ozai assassin Azulon. She had the poisons already picked out and ready to go. Ozai should be concern, but he's too far gone at this point.

Very match my freak energy.

Rivers in the desert AU:

Ozai and Ursa's relationship was really more of a partnership with benefits before they were forced to flee. After being separated, romantic feelings began to develop.

There is an inversion appearance wise. Ursa's darker skin tones, which made her stand out like a sore thumb in the royal courts, allowed her to pass for Earth Kingdom with the right clothes. Ozai is the exact opposite.

~Going into spoiler territory~

Ursa cannot, for the life of her, believe Ozai knows how to use a stove now. (Ursa: "Who are you and what have you've done with my husband???") Ozai took Ursa's airbending pretty well. (It was a long day and he's tired.)

Both had changed a lot once they reunite but Ozai a bit more self-conscious. He did not have access to his expensive beauty products for years and body type had changed. He's still fit but his abs are gone. (Nearly starving to death will do that). Ursa assures him it's alright and she likes that his body is softer now.

They both have gray hair strands (The Gaang is great, but we all know what they're like.)

Once the Fire Nation is defeated, they swear to not have any more kids. Kiyi was a pure accident.

Jaune Joan of Arc timeline theory redux

I wanted to return to this theory, both to clean it up and better summarize my points.

As a reference, timeline of relevant Joan of Arc events would go something like this.

This can often create a confusion as to if Jaune is even suppose to be Joan of Arc due to how little he has in common with her. However, I'd say he does follow those events somewhat. When you draw parallels between Jaune and Joan you get something like this.

However, this leaves us with ? category. Those are major events that were suppose to happen but didn't. Events that were skipped are probably the most important moments, Joan's meeting with the King and her victory at Orleans. And several of events that do have parallels have messy timeline placement.

This led me to believe there are two overlapping timelines.

This theory overlaps events that happen in the volumes over each other, which means that events that seemed to be skipped are simply events that are yet to happen.

So called Warrior timeline follows Joan of Arc's military campaigns and puts focus on Jaune as a warrior. It starts in subversive way, him meeting Ruby, his King, and failing to defend the castle. It's mostly straightforward after that. He initially finds military success, just like Joan of Arc, but gradually starts failing more and more.

Redeemer timeline follows Joan of Arc's original mission to reach the King and convince him in validity of her cause. This timeline focuses more on Jaune as inspirational and redeeming figure. In this timeline Ruby is not the King because Ruby is fine. He is seeking an individual who needs help to step on a right path, Cinder. She is playing the role of indecisive king who needs an outside help to do the right thing.

Both timelines start with failure, Jaune is unable to do anything both as warrior and as a leader. Mistral portion of story puts a bigger emphasis on Jaune as warrior. While he himself didn't exactly accomplish much fighting, others around him did. In the end they prevailed by defeating Cinder and he allies. It follows trajectory of both Joan's campaign against English and her unsuccessful trip to Vaucouleurs, military victory, but not much was accomplished diplomatically. Because in the end, Cinder would return, mind unchanged.

Atlas portion of the story almost flips the script. Both Joan and Jaune suffer narrow but devastating defeat. But in the other timeline, both achieve a minor victory. Joan was able to convert several soldiers to her cause while in V8 we saw Emerald's and Hazel's redemption.

V9 confirms Redeemer path. Even as legendary Rusted Knight, Jaune wasn't able to accomplish much by fighting. But he doesn't have to fight, he can inspire. Conclusion of Alyx' story was that people can change for better no matter what and no matter when. V9 also ends with people being able to set aside their differences for the greater good.

So going forward, Jaune is gonna more often take a role of inspirational figure rather than fighter. In Vacuo portion of the story he will likely suffer setbacks trying to fight his opponents, but more and more success trying to persuade them to join their side. Eventually culminating in Jaune being able to convince Cinder to join them as well. There is a reason why he is Joan of Arc, he is destined to be engulfed by fire.
