Ty "Lee"
We all remember that Ty Lee has six identical sisters and joined the circus so she wouldn't be part of a matched set forever, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about one specific sentence in that moment (I certainly hadn't thought about it before today)
Tumblr media
And then I realized.
It's well-established that Lee is the most common, generic name anyone can have in the Avatar Universe. The perfect no-effort name to dump on a child you weren't expecting to have because no one expects to birth 7 babies in one go.
6 though? That's a sensible number. The rest of 'em can have more meaningful given names.
Tumblr media
Thus, Ty Lee had the double burden of being part of a matched set and being the singled-out runt of said set.
That's why "Circus Freak" is a compliment. Not because she preferred the circus, but because it's a more creative name.
Ouch.

Ty Lee running away to the circus because she thought she just wanted the solitude and individuality that being a "circus freak" would provide, and struggling with the thought of quitting the Kyoshi warriors and running away because being part of any matched group felt stifling and scary, but eventually realizing that she really is happy in the Kyoshi warriors and she really does love her sisters and she just needs space to breathe and a sense of self to return to, is really compelling to me! Ty Lee was deeply, genuinely afraid of family and found family because she thought it was antithetical to ever getting to be anything herself, and that's a fascinating inner turmoil to explore!

Uhhhh well here’s my goofy, bowling ball headed TADC OC, I guess. Trix the Hatgician (Hatter + Magician), weird guy. Fun to play kickball or other sports with their head. Bubble likes to sneakily snatch their body when the chance is given. (Yes, Trix loses their head sometimes…)

My Freak, Monsters, Demons notebook is officially available to buy on Redbubble!
Since it’s on Redbubble, I cannot unfortunately control the price so it’s not as cheap as I would have wanted. But I hope you like it! A few of the freaks you see on the cover are freaks that I designed in the original notebook that this is based on!
I really hope you all like it, and send me a picture if you buy one! ^_^

Been re-reading your post-circus gothica au fics and they're so goooood!!! Kafkaesque is the word that keeps coming back to me to describe this story. Anyway, love your writing and have a great day!
(Belated reply 9/10ths because Tumblr notifications are busted as hell for me and 1/10ths because I forgot to answer)
I am so pleased to hear there are folks out there still loving my circus gothica/circus freak/circus I could never figure out a good Series Name and defaulted to something that's definitely more Cringe than I'd prefer :(
It is 100% too embarrassing to admit here but admit it I shall--body horror fiend that I am, I've never actually read anything of Kafka. :( Still! I know just enough of Kafka's work to know that this is a delightful compliment you've given me!!
I am 1000% pleased to be compared to the Fucked Up Cockroach Guy. One day my brain will return from The War (anxiety/depression/etc. etc. etc. ETC.) and I hope that when that day comes you'll get some more exciting Kafka fun from me. <3

Ella Harper, aka Camel Girl, was born with a rare condition that caused her knees to bend backward. Because of this condition, she had to walk on all fours, earning her the nickname “Camel Girl.” Though it was difficult at first, she made a fortune out of it. She earned a weekly wage of $200 in 1886
