#avatar spirits

[actually-well-written]

Yes, I know I already made a few posts about how badass the creators of avatar can make Wan be, but here me out on one last thing.

Wan comes from a time where bending wasn't permanent, meaning he MUST be more used to fighting with weapons and/or his fists. So here me out:

WAN BEING MORE SCARY WITHOUT BENDING

Kyoshi: Don't you ever insult me like that again.

Kurruk: Oh, come on, it's an honest question.

Kyoshi: It's a stupid question. Yes, I obviously beat you all with no bending.

Korra: Please, take away your bending and your fans, even Aang as a shot.

Kyoshi: [venom on her voice] Don't you ever insult me like that again.

Kurruk: I'm not trying to start something Kyoshi, honestly. I just think that since I have the most experience fighting without bending, I can take you all.

Korra: [chuckle] Right, pretty sure if we all jump you, your going down.

Kurruk:[scoffs] Your the only one with a shot really.

Kyoshi: Why are we evening involving Wan in this scenario? Obviously he's the first to go down. First avatar being the weakest and all.

Korra: Well-

Raava: Sorry, didn't mean to overhear, but I just had to say, none of you are beating Wan if the fight is no bending.

Korra: What?

Kurruk: Seriously?

Kyoshi: Oh, come on. Raava just cause Wan's your favorite, doesn't mean-

Raava: Oh, but I'm being serious! Sit down let me tell you a little story.

Kyoshi: I'll stand.

Raava: Fine, but listen.

kurruk, Korra, and Kyoshi all circle around Raava.

Raava: As you know, Wan spent all his avatarhood fighting wars-

Korra: Yeah, we know.

Raava: Hush! But what you didn't know, is that Wan has this rule he always followed. That when he was fighting against another nation, he wouldn't under any circumstance, use their element in battle, out of respect.

Kyoshi: Well, that's stupid.

Raava: I said hush! Well, one day, the earth kingdom, the fire nation, and the water tribes learned of the peaceful and non violent lifestyle of the air nomads, and decided to use that against them and invade their land.

Kurruk: You mean their mountains?

Korra: Why would they want mountains that badly?

Raava:.....

Kurruk and Korra: Sorry.

Raava: Once Wan heard of this, he quickly came to fight in place of the air nomads, but still obeying his rule he didn't use his fire, earth, or water bending.

Kyoshi: [wide eyed] What?

Raava: And he didn't want to disrespect the air nomads beliefs, so he didn't use his air bending either. You know what he did instead?

Kyoshi, Kurra, and Korra:....

Raava: He fought as a non bender, with a sword in both hands and his armor he fought the three armies all on his own. [Smirks] 13 days later, a peace treaty was signed, with Wan as the victorious one.

Korra: Oh my God.

Raava: So, yes, if you take bending out of the equation, Wan's kicking all your asses. Even if all the avatars were to gang up on him.

OC avatar character - Bending Master of a new element

I did a thing - made this OC character, the anatomy and stuff based off @danicasills artwork, what do U think? I didn't trace this one as I was practicing my anatomy so I thought it was pretty good and matched up well to Danica Sills' one. So, she's an ATLA bender, maybe of a new element? Please help me decide. I'm only 14 - so don't be too harsh and keep it NOT NSFW. Also shoot me a follow on Insta if U like- @akisnahart. She'd definitely be a spirit like the painted lady but what element would she bend??

Did it on magma, on my touchscreen Chromebook haha. Also @danicasills please see this.

Damn right we're gonna get blueberry slushy .

[overzealous-imagination]

So while rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender recently, I noticed a trend

A number of spirits we see have an animal form, specifically animals we recognize as "normal" for us. For example:

- Wan Shi Tong is an owl and his knowledge seekers are foxes

- Tui and La are koi fish

- Hei Bai is a panda

-The guardian of the mother of faces is a wolf (The Search)

Heck there's even the talking Baboon spirit and the monkey missing its face that we see in the Spirit World at the end of Season 1.

Basically every time we've seen a "normal" animal, they've been a spirit.

My point? I argue that Bosco is a spirit bear that's chilling and living the good life in the mortal world just because he can.

AVATAR WAN

Inspired by @ideklolwat <3333

.˚₊‧ ── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── ‧₊˚.

Wan: can I ask you a question shi?

Wan shi Tong: you already have Wan. Many times again.

Wan: last one?

Wan shi Tong:.....fine, last one

Wan:...what ...am I?

Wan shi Tong: your question disorientes me. You are man. 

Wan: no. I'm not. Not anymore at least. I am more powerful then any other human. It scares them. I...scared them. 

Wan shi Tong: Humans fear what they lack to understand. It's humanities greatest flaw.

Wan: your not answering me shi.

Wan shi Tong: (sigh) I don't know. For once in my immortal life. I simply don't know.

Wan: (leans his head back against the bookshelves) great. Even the wisest spirit in the realms is as confused as me

Wan shi Tong: Wan, there has never been anything like you.  You are....an anomaly. A question. Only you can find out what you are

Wan: (dry laugh) a question? That's the nicest way to phrase it, isn't it? (Hugs knees) I'm not human, that's obvious. But I'm not a spirit. I'm not a demon, at least, I hope not. And I'm not a God, I'm imperfect. Like all humans 

Wan shi Tong:...but you are not human...and that is the cycle that troubles you

Wan: sometimes, I wish I still was. This promise I made to Raava...it ...it's stressful trying to keep it. 

Wan shi Tong: and the humans aren't making it any easier

Wan: spirits too. They treat me like an abomination, after all I've done for them. The 'avatar' they call me. Avatar Wan. 

Wan shi Tong: hmm. An avatar. It means an embodiment of something else. A human form, if you will. 

Wan: is it an insult then?

Wan shi Tong: (shrug) it can also mean, an incarnate of a god. A deity if you will.

Wan: so they mock me, but compliment me? (Shakes head) Spirits just can't make up their minds 

Wan shi Tong: indeed. I say you should use it. Make it your own. Make it a name to be respected and admired of.

Wan: (lifts his head and smiles sofly) maybe. That way it can't be used against me anymore.

Wan Shi Tong: (stand up and extends his wing) AVATAR WAN: THE FIRST OF HIS KIND!!!

Wan: more like the only one of his kind

Wan shi Tong: I wouldn't be so sure
