atla small town modern au

it’s katara & sokka’s hometown in the southern water tribe, which is being taken over by ozai’s industrialist company as a factory town

their dad is the mayor but he’s gone missing so vice mayor bato has been handling the work and sokka is running his and katara’s household

(hakoda’s missing because ozai hated that he was enacting anti-firecorp policies)

bending is still a thing. katara is a starry-eyed soul who wants to leave her small town to learn waterbending in the big city

sokka is a total pragmatist who thinks the town would collapse without them (he MAY be right)

aang is an undocumented immigrant from the air temples who was sent on the run w gyatso towards the nwt with crucial info to bring to journalists to bust open the evils ceo ozai wrought upon the air nation (e.g. labor exploitation, chokehold on clean water sources)

he got this quest cos he’s still the avatar in this au

got waylaid and separated from gyatso (who might be dead?) and ended up in the swt town

now uses his bending in secret to stack shelves in the local supermarket while trying to figure out how to get to nwt

(he may or may not be putting it off because the responsibility terrifies him)

unbeknownst to aang (and most everyone), the situation in the air nation is getting worse—actual violence is starting to happen

the water damage siblings take him in because they figure it’s their responsibility as the mayor’s kids. but over time they find him so endearing he becomes practically family

zuko has been disowned from his father’s giant conglomerate and believes that by catching the runaway avatar he will be brought back into the family

he pushes iroh into moving into town. he thinks iroh doesn’t know it’s to catch the avatar

in the meantime he picks up a job at the local boba shop and accidentally becomes a vigilante

(sokka develops a huge crush on the mysterious blue spirit)

unfortunately for him the description of the runaway has been switched around, and he thinks toph (another runaway in the same town) is the avatar

toph is friends with aang and is gleefully misleading zuko

she and aang are both out of school youth. toph spends most of her time trouncing people in sports at the local courts but her spending money comes from a huge stash of cash she took out of her parents’ safe before running away

aang is a regular at the boba shop and befriends zuko. zuko thinks aang is just the avatar’s friend and aang thinks zuko is neat. they bond over being new to town

azula comes to town at some point and immediately realizes that toph is not the avatar

(iroh knew all along but doesn’t tell zuko because he a. it’s a good lesson for his nephew and b. he finds it funny)

BONUS:

azula enrolls in the local school trying to find the avatar, accidentally develops a homoerotic rivalry with katara instead

iroh takes her in and sets off her redemption arc

So... *leans against this post* I got invested into this idea and the discord server I'm in didn't help and grew it into an entire au, so now you guys get Our Life x Avatar headcanons made by the server :)

Cove would 100% be a water bender. However, he'd get his bending from Kyra instead of Cliff. Cove used to learn water bending from his mom, but when Kyra and Cliff got divorced, Cove didn't have anyone to teach him water bending anymore (since I see Cliff as a non bender in this au).

Derek is an earth bender. If his siblings are also earth benders, (or benders in general) I can see him being the one to try and keep everything in order and not chaotic. If they aren't benders, then I feel like Derek would be relied on a lot.

Now Baxter? he wouldn't be a bender. His family probably came from a lineage of benders and when Baxter turned out as a non bender, his parents would push him to be better in other things, but would always be disappointed that he wasn't a bender.

Baxter being a non-bender would make his feelings of inadequacy worse. He would have to find ways to stand out in a world where people can bend things like fire and water and move the ground.

Qiu would be a fire bender and would amazing at it. In step 1, they'd use his bending to impress people and their popularity would probably be bigger since he can bend almost flawlessly.

In step 2, Qiu wouldn't use their bending in public anymore and would only use it around the people he's close with.

Tamarack would be an earth bender, but she wouldn't be good at it. She wouldn't put too much time in training and wouldn't want to since she thinks earth bending would destroy the forest.

In step 2, Tamarack would try to practice her earth bending due to her being insecure that she can't bend too well, but she struggles with it.

Renee would be a fire bender, which helped her friendship with Qiu in their childhood. While she wouldn't be as good at it than Qiu is, she can manage it well

Liz would be a fire bender. Pamela would be a fire bender and Noelani would be a water bender. I can see Pamela and Noelani adopting Liz and a MC that they could teach bending to if they were benders.

As for Lee, she would be an Airbender.

Terry would be a water bender while Miranda is a Airbender.

Xavier would be a non-bender and it's one of the things that helped them and Baxter get along.

Now, if either MC is the avatar...

Cove would be surprised when you first meet, but he gets over it pretty quickly. He'd be glad that there's someone else who can waterbend with him.

When Derek meets an Avatar!MC, he would be shocked and it'd take a while for Derek to see it as normal.

An Avatar!MC would make Derek be harder on himself and push his earthbending abilities to be a suitable partner for the avatar.

Baxter's problem with seeing value in himself and feeling like he's not good enough to be with the MC would be doubled if he's with an Avatar!MC. 

When first meeting Avatar!MC, Baxter would freak out internally but keep a cool front

If Baxter is with an Avatar!MC, his parents would see it as an opportunity for better connections and Baxter would hate that because he doesn't want his relationship with the MC to just be something to satisfy his parents.

When Qiu meets an Avatar!MC they would be surprised at first but would take it in a stride and proudly talk about being friends with the Avatar to anyone that will listen

If asked, Qiu would be happy to help MC with fire bending (they get even more giddy if they’re at crush with the MC)

Tamarack would be in awe that they're the avatar because they can control all four of the elements rather than the social status and influence that comes with being the avatar

Noelani and Pamela would go into shock because they adopted a child that's the avatar, but would try their best to help an avatar!mc learn the elements

My media this week (15-21 Oct 2023)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

😍 The Bell in the Fog (Andy Mills #2) (Lev AC Rosen, author; Vikas Adam, narrator) - love how well this series captures the '50s noir vibe but also manages to not be completely bleak - Andy's learning to find the small joys among the fraught life of being openly queer in the '50s

🥰 Camp Folktale, Summer of '86 (cairparavels) - 113K, steddie summer camp AU; very lovely & fluffy slow burn

🥰 The Body In The Back Garden (Crescent Cove Mystery #1) (Mark Waddell, author; Daniel Henning, narrator) - fun little cozy mystery, pretty standard for the genre but queer (which meant I didn't have to contend with the MC worried about his weight and/or eating, if nothing else) - definitely looking forward to more in this series

💖💖 +105K of shorter fic so shout out to these I really loved 💖💖

ATLA Tumblr i desperately need ur help! for some reason i decided itd be fun to look at all the characters shown in the southern water tribe in episode 1 and 2 of atla and attempt to draw them, give them names, personalities, and roles in the village ! (as well as attempt to match them up with the comic characters from wolf cove aurghh)

so , so far I have done Woman 1 , shown below !

Because she is 1 of the younger adult women and she surprisingly has a pattern detail on her sash(?) I have decided to headcanon her as 1 of the stronger women. I think she may lead most of the hunting and fishing trips while the men are off fighting the war. I think boy 2 or boy 3 may be 1 or both of her sons, not sure yet. I think I want to draw everyone first before I start assigning family units. BUT! what i would like help with if anyone is so inclined is naming. Naming characters has always been a bit of a struggle for me and it does not help that Water Tribe names are derived from a culture i do not know much about! When I look at Woman 1 the words Crane and Seal come into my brain for some reason, but I'm not sure how to translate thoses into a native language or condense the words into an Avatar friendly name ! If anyone has any ideas or suggestions that would be insanely appreciated! (even not name related, just anything regarding this project :3)

And uh... depends if we're going off campus or not.

On campus probably the Scarabia Crawlspace.

[kassandrasdisciple]

I know it's bad form to compare shows, and each has its unique strengths but be prepared to get sucker punched in the throat with this take.

Scooby doo: mystery incorporated did the "these kids are a nuisance/misfits" trope better than Avatar: legend of korra (and also gays, oop)

In Korra, Raiko, Lin and even Tenzin treat the god of their world and their disciples as annoying kids when the worst they do is stop racketeering and police brutality in season 1. This continues throughout the seasons with most villians and side characters blowing them off, and what's worse is the Krew never actually do anything on purpose to mess up republic city, they actually wanna help the citizens. Furthermore each of them have careers and prospects in each season, trying to be role models of "upstanding" citizens.

Compared to my darling Gang of highschool delinquents, who ride around in their hippie van and habitually skip school to poke around crime scenes. Also unlike the Krew helping republic city dwellers, the people of crystal cove are a tourist town. A tourist town built of having legit supernatural events and haunting. D'ya know what our mystery incorporated do? They've made it their life mission to fuck with their hometowns livelihood by solving these haunting, to the point that they get handcuffed/arested in a futile attempt to stop them from fucking with the towns income. Also also, any time, without fail they get their hands on explosives/guns/knives they will try to kill someone. People say LOK is brutal compared to ATLA cos of P'li? Fred tries to off his own father, they blow up a poolboy, they level a desert town with an ancient Spaniard ship and scooby doo wields honest to gods dual gatling guns in the final act.

I'm sorry but mystery incorporated would salt the graves of the Krew without a shread of hesitation or remorse.

Also just comparing TV portrayals velma/marcie is was more explicit and developed than Asami/korra xoxo

[awkward-txrtle]

fun. x ATLA

Idk if anyone else in the fandom listens to fun., but I'm a big fan of pretty much the whole Some Nights album. I was listening to it last week (yes, even the Some Nights - Intro, which I don't vibe with) because it was speaking to me in terms of ATLA characters (certain songs reminded me of certain characters).

"But Turtle, Nate Reuss wasn't focused on ATLA when he was writing this album"

Ok, and? I'm gonna have some fun with this!

So here's each song and the character I think it fits (not all are exact fits & not every song is included, but most are)

1. Some Nights - Sokka

"This is it, boys, this is war/what are we waiting for?" feels very Sokka to me, especially since he considers himself a warrior and is the protector of Wolf Cove after Hakoda and the other men leave to fight the fire nation. Also "I still see your ghost" could reference Kya, but more likely Yue, since Sokka says that he sees Katara's face when he tries to remember his mother. The line about the martyr reminded me of Suki. Ok also the "miss my mom and dad for this" line?? Come on. Ok BUT "my heart is breaking for my sister and the con she called love/and then I look into my nephew's eyes" is just SCREAMING a Zutara or Kataang fic of some sort. Come on, right?? It's just begging to be written. Overall, this is very existential crisis-Sokka to me.

2. We Are Young - Katara

Ok so I wasn't fully sure what song to give Katara and it just didn't feel right to leave her out so I deadass just gave her this one like 5 minutes ago, but it still works. It would also be AU-based, but hear me out. I'm assuming y'all are most likely to know this song out of all of them. So Katara's at a bar after breaking up with her boyfriend (Aang) and the Gaang's all here. "My seat's been taken by some sunglasses askin' bout a scar" would be Zuko asking about the scars on Katara's hands that she couldn't fully heal after Aang's firebending accident. "But between the drinks and subtle things/the holes in my apologies/you know I'm trying hard to take it back" feels very Aang to me, especially since he's immature. Then right after, I feel like it switches to a more Zutara vibe for most of the song. Also "the moon is on my side/I have no reason to run" with Katara is such a sick combo omg.

3. Carry On - Zuko

The lyrics are very angsty. "You swore and said we are not/we are not shining stars/this I know, I never said we are" feels like a very Zuko & Iroh interaction to me. And also "though I've never been through hell like that/I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back" !!!! Like that feels very Season 3 Zuko to me. Also, no matter what, Zuko is forced to carry on, whether it's with Ozai, Azula, the Gaang... Although don't get me wrong, Zuko does take back his destiny, but I'm referring more to how he can't give up. Also Ursa tells Zuko and he later says how he struggles and fights, even though it's hard. "And we talked and talked about how our parents will die/all our neighbors and wives" Zuko is very familiar with the concept of mortality, he nearly died and he loses his mother at a young age. I'm sure he worries about when Iroh will die, as well as his friends. I feel like Zuko has a line about people leaving him, but I can't find it. Ok next point "and it's nice to know when I was left for dead/I was found and now I don't roam these streets/I am not the ghost you are to me" is very reminiscent of Zuko's relationship (or lack thereof) with Ozai. Also "may your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground" feels like a very Iroh line. Last point, "on our darkest day, when we're miles away/so we'll come and we'll find our way home" is very reminiscent of Zuko's redemption arc and how he returns home and retakes his place in the line of succession and becomes Fire Lord.

4. It Gets Better - Katara?

Honestly the "yes, I know it hurts at first/but it gets better" reminds me a lot of Katara. I also liked the line about fire in the sky and snow on the ground. Not too much else to say.

5. All Alone - Mai

I really encourage you guys to listen to this song, it was really interesting. The lyrics reminded me of Maiko, especially how Mai seems to not care about anything. The girl's voice reminded me a lot of Mai throughout the series, especially her interactions with Zuko. "I gave her to you/I don't need a toy/I thought you might appreciate it/I don't like the way it moves" reminds me of their interaction when Zuko tries to give Mai the shell on Ember Island. "How do you cry with inanimate eyes/you're never gonna smile/with the way that you're wired" also reminded me a lot of Mai's character throughout the series.

(I really like All Alright, but wasn't sure who it would fit well with)

6. One Foot - Toph

"I put one foot in front of the other" is very Toph, she is a fighter first and foremost. "I don't need a new love or a new life" also feels very her, Toph doesn't care as much about the more material things compared to the rest of the Gaang. I'm sure there's more that can be said about this connection, but I didn't really vibe with the song so much. Sorry Toph.

7. Out on the Town - Aang

Okay, Aang fans, I'm asking you to stick with me here. "Cause I know I'll never take the time/to unpack my missteps and call all of our friends" feels very much like season 3 Aang, where he doesn't face consequences for his actions and Bryke kinda places him on this pedestal of sorts. Also, this is a kataang breakup song to me. The chorus really feels like Aang to me, putting his feelings before those of other people, causing a scene, there being consequences (that he somehow gets out of, but that's not today's discussion). "But I'm waiting for the day you come back and say/'hey maybe I should change my mind'" reminds me of the first 2 times Aang kisses Katara and how he expects her to change her mind on how she feels about him. Also the repetition of "open up your heart".

Overall, I found the entire album to be very Zuko-coded.

If you read this far, I appreciate you!

[astridellejo]

So when they say autistic folk are "detail oriented", do they mean something like:

Goes to NASA website to download G.Projector in order to convert the world map of Avatar the Last Airbender to equirectangular projection and then apply that resulting image on the Map to Globe website in order to determine how far south Wolf Cove is from the Antarctic Circle (assuming the world of ATLA has the same size and axial tilt as Earth) to determine how plausibly light the sky could get during the winter?

[njazzy123]

Atla LA live commenting:

Ep 1:

Disclaimer: this is merely my personal view on the first watch of this show. Perhaps you had a better or worse experience.

.

.

It's not the worst I've seen but it feels incredibly rushed. They're spewing out all the info at you without giving time to allow the watcher to take it in.

Though I loved the extra time given to see the first attack of the Fire Nation against the Southern Air Temple.

Some of the actors are better than others and it's unfortunately obvious. Though everything seems incredibly cheesy. Which I can mostly ignore since it's a live action from a cartoon.

.

I adore the name of the Southern Water Tribe Village. Wolf Cove :)

.

I'm incredibly sad that Sokka didn't put on his war paint and helmet before approaching Zuko :(

They're fight seen is way more dramatic than the cartoon lmao

.

I notice that Aang already has some hair growing in as he's being taken to Zuko's ship. Nice touch. I like that detail.

Kinda stinks they didn't take the time to check out the old war ship

Sokka: "let's go save the weird kid"

.

GASP, Uncle Iroh and Aang talk in the jail cells!!!! :D.

Aang: "Is that what you believe?"

Iroh: *ah shi- I'm blabbering too much* oh hey, fam, gotta go- I'll send you some tea

.

The Force is strong with Aang. That jail key scene is air fire.

.

AANG IN ZUKOS ROOM. HEY STOP READING HIS DIARY PUNK

He took the staff in Zuko's room, instead of already having one. I'm okay with this difference actually. I like that, it's funny.

Zuko's hinted at obsession with Airbender artifacts is gonna help the Airbender. Gotta love it.

.

Aang escape

Zuko angy o.O

BUT YEAH GO KATARRA!

But are we gonna see some Avatar State?? ...Nope, guess not.

.

The way that they show that nature has been taking over the S Air Temple over the course of 100 years is making me very happy. That's a great addition.

.

OH NO, ARE WE GONNA SEE THE REMAINS OF GYATSO AND THE KIDS OH NO

Oh geez, there he is oh geez. Ouch ouch ouch

THE FLASHBACK IT HURTS

Oh here we go :/. Avatar State time

"you will always be my friend." Dang. New phrase to torture myself over.

The hug 😭

.

Is he gonna keep Gyatso's necklace?

.

Ending with some deep truths and Zuko slightly going nuts. Good 1st EP end, ngl.

.

OH YEAH THE MUSIC

.

.

Despite some things that I wish could have been done a little better.... I'm truly enjoying it.

Heyyyy. Could you do an Aang Pov where a few years after the war the Kataang relationship is strained because they are always traveling and Katara feels neglected because Aang is always in conferences? I'm in the mood for a lot of anguish, pain and tears, but there's not enough in this fandom

Okay! It’s angst and tears with an open ended hopeful? ending!

I hope you enjoy !!! This is my first time writing an ATLA fic so please! Be kind 🤍

🔥🌬💧🪨

I returned to the home Katara and I shared in the city we’ve now named Republic City. I have been gone for a few weeks as my ongoing search for lost airbender history continues. I decided to maintain a semi-permanent home in the city to show my allegiance to the new ways we have chosen to govern the world, post war.

We know that balance can only be maintained through hard work. I know Katara has missed being in the south but my job as the Avatar makes it hard to be selfish and put our wants above the needs of the world.

When I arrive home there’s a flurry of movement in the bedroom. I can hear Katara pacing back and forth. She’s moving frantically and hasn’t noticed I’ve arrived.

“Gone for weeks and not even sending a carrier eagle to tell me when he will get back” she mumbles. “I’m sick of being left behind, let’s see if he likes it huh, I’ll just take a little vacation back to Wolf Cove…” she’s still talking softly under her breath when she turns the corner out of our room, almost walking right through me and colliding with my chest.

“Baby? Are you going somewhere?” I ask gently, holding her shoulders steady and feeling as they rise and fall with her deep breaths. “Yes. I’m leaving. Going home for a while.” She barks out, only anger lacing her tone as she speaks.

“Leaving? I thought we agreed to make this our new home? I understand if you need to visit your family, but, you’ll come back? Right?” I ask, trying and failing not to sound like a pathetic lizard-guppy.

“No, You agreed to make this your home Aang, I don’t remember really being included in that conversation. Or really any conversation lately, it’s like you don’t even have time for me anymore.”

Her shoulders loosen slightly but she doesn’t lose the edge in her eyes, “but I’m going home, back to Wolf Cove to be with people that care about me, that actually notice when I’m around. People that want to talk to me and include me in their plans, that used to be you. I guess not anymore.” She shakes my hands from atop of her shoulders and tries to maneuver around me.

I turn around, letting her pass but quickly follow her as she makes her way to the front door. “I‘ll go with you! We can make it a fun trip, celebrating our anniversary that’s coming up soon.”

She huffs an annoyed breath and stops just before the door. “Surprised you would have even remembered, I seem to be the last thing on your mind lately. It’s just your precious Republic City!” Her voice rings out with the last of her sentence, her emotions taking control and I’m taken aback by her outburst.

“What do you want me to say Katara? I thought you understood that this was my life.” My power pulses as my heart rate elevates. “I have a duty to restore harmony after the war, I owe it to the nations after being gone for a hundred years while people suffered under the Fire Nations rule” this fight between Katara and feels as though it’s been repeating for months.

“Duty! Honor! That’s all you care about Aang, all you talk about since the war ended. You didn’t find redemption in defeating the Fire Lord? You helped the nations unify and yet still you are gone for weeks on end dealing with every issue that pops up.” Katara’s eyes gleam with tears “I’m going home Aang. Alone”

“Katara please, don’t just leave, let's talk about this.” I gasp her arm in a silent plea for her to stay, “I’m sorry if-“ I try to apologize but she just holds a hand up in exhausted defeat. “I know Aang, I know you’re sorry. And if we talk you’ll make promises to me that you’ll never keep. I just need some time, sokka sent me a message about some hunters that haven’t returned from their hunt so I’ll help him with that. Spending some time with my family is what I need right now.” She moves her hand to lay on top of mine that’s circling her arm. “I thought we were family.” I say in an almost silent voice.

“I had always thought we were Aang, I love you but I can’t do this if you’re never around. We were a team and now you do everything on your own. Maybe I need to be alone for a while too”

Leaving out the front door I follow behind to see a small fire nation airship hovering overhead, “what is this?” I ask, confusion written all over my face. We both look up as our friend Zuko slides down the rope ladder. I try to fight down the hot fire of jealousy that boils in my gut. “You called Zuko? If you wait just a day Appa could take you and we could talk, I don’t want you to leave like this”

I am practically begging but she ignores my pleas and offers a sad greeting to our friend. “Hi Zuko, thank you for offering to take me today” she tells him calmly and he offers her a gentle smile. When his gaze shifts to me it’s a mix of understanding and conflict. “Aang, how are you? You’ve just returned from the eastern air temple? Any luck in your search.” He asks politely.

“The search goes well, thank you friend.” I bow my head slightly towards him as a sign of respect.

Katara turns to me with tears shimmering in her eyes, “continue your search Aang and your job as Avatar but search for where I am meant to fit into any of it as well. I will not force myself in your life. I need time..” the tears have began streaking down her golden brown skin and I gently swipe them away. “I will always have room for you in my life, my love, but I understand I have failed you. I will work to prove to you that it’s true.” I wrap my arms tightly around her and bury my nose into her hair, breathing in her scent and committing it to memory not knowing how long she will need to be away, not knowing how long it will take to win her back.

“I will miss you Katara” I whisper to her and all she can offer is a broken sob as she disengages from our embrace and rushes towards the ladder to head up into the ship.

Zuko approaches me and we share a friendly hand shake, “I will ensure she arrives at the South Pole safely and report back once I’ve arrived back,” he tells me and I let out a ragged breath. “I can’t believe I’m losing her like this Zuko, I failed her more than anything else.” My voice is raw and full of emotion that I can’t contain. “You will not lose her my friend. I have struggled with the same things in my relationship with Mai, prove you can be just as committed to her as you are to being the Avatar.”

“I want to! That’s why I don’t want her to leave!” I lose control of my air for a moment and send a gust and shift the ladder as it hangs causing it to sway.

“You have to let her make her own choices Aang, let her decide and make an effort to be what she needs.” Zuko puts his hand on my shoulder and squeezes slightly, “you need to be the man you are not the Avatar right now, she doesn’t need the Avatar. She needs you.” His grip lightens and he back up towards the ladder, offering a smile and a goodbye he heads up and within a few minutes the ship is moving and out of my sight taking my greatest love further and further away
