one thing that really makes my eye twitch is when people pretend like suki isn't part of the gaang!! likeee we saw her early on in season 1 for the first time and she was a recurring character until she became a permanent and integral member of team avatar later on!! it's so sad when she's basically reduced to nothing but sokkas gf and ppl don't deem her important enough of a member and just exclude her from the group. and it's so weird bc not only was she already part of the group even before zuko, she also played a huge part in ending the war together with the gaang but people keep disregarding her and everything she's done which pisses me off so bad like omg.

what i'm trying to say is PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY GIRL SUKIS NAME!!!

I didn't know Katara also had silver marks on the Kintsugi AU. How did you come up with that idea? Is it an in-universe cultural thing? If it is, is it exactly the same as Zuko's or does the Water Tribe have their own beliefs around it?

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I just really love how your mind works when it comes to these AUs 💖

Hello, and thanks for asking!

Initially, Kintsugi was a strictly Fire Nation tradition. Something to hold over the rest of the nations, and deepen their own belief of cultural superiority. Zuko hiding his scars played into that idea, since having gold inlaid in your body is a clear sign of Fire Nation blood—furthermore, High Fire Nation blood.

That being said, one lovely anon gave the suggestion that perhaps the other nations also have their own kinds of Kintsugi, and I fell in love with the idea. @ican-fixitbooks went even deeper into the particular philosophies of each nation regarding Kintsugi. I'll be using some quotes from them—watch for the italics.

It was during said brainstorming session that I thought of Katara having a silver Kintsugi scar, and how could it be used to enhance the themes of ATLA, Katara's arc, and this AU as a whole.

But a little background is necessary, I believe.

Kintsugi is a tradition practiced worldwide, with minor differences in philosophy/technique according to each nation.

The Earth Kingdom seal their scars with a substance that resembles bronze, as the mentality of breaking yourself down to build yourself back up better than you were is very central to their culture. It is used as a way to celebrate one's victories, made all the better if damage was taken to achieve it.

The elite have rather different views on this practice. They believe themselves to be above such things. That which is broken must be hidden away, which has interesting connotations when thinking about a certain blind earthbender.

The Air Nomad philosophy leans towards a naturalist approach. Anything natural doesn't need to be "improved" in their eyes. If a scar is there, it is there. Let it be there as a part of you, no different than any other, no need to be "made better", but in fact better to just "be".

Kintsugi is a cultural practice meant to celebrate making something beautiful out of something broken, arguably even making it better than it was. During Sozin's reign and forward, Kintsugi became a way to show the Fire Nation's superiority. Especially as that is essentially their philosophy for war: "Breaking the rest of the world so it can be reforged in fire, made a better, more perfect place."

As for the Water Tribes, there's the healing factor to take into account. The Northern Water Tribe isolated itself from the rest of the world once the war began, so they hold tight to their traditions and beliefs. If something is not broken, then why attempt to fix it? Kintsugi is scoffed at in the North—it is a foreign practice, one that is not necessary when all your wounds can be healed with bending.

However, the Southern Water Tribe has been exposed to the world. They have seen war. They have lived through it. They have suffered, but they are also free because of it, if only in spirit. The South is strong and proud and bold, so it comes as no surprise that silver Kintsugi becomes the mark of their warriors, their hunters, their people.

Katara was wounded during the last Southern Raid. After losing Kya in such a terrible way, Hakoda made sure to seal Katara's wound with the silver of their warriors, so that she would always remember that despite having been broken, she is still strong, beautiful, and proud.

The scar itself is long and thin, going from her right shoulder up to her jaw. It loosely resembles lightning.

And despite how she got it, despite all the things she lost on that day, despite it being a constant reminder of her mother's death—Katara loves her scar.

It grounds her. It pushes her forward. You are a warrior, it tells her. You are a survivor.

When Katara arrives at the North, her scar becomes yet another thing the Northerners hold against her. They use it to demean her, just as they do her gender and out-spoken personality.

The North believes a lot of things that Katara always considered natural to be a problem. What does it matter that she is a woman? What is wrong about being passionate? Why should having a scar mean she's broken?

This scar is something they cannot touch. The Northerners try to use it to demean her. To make her small. Self-conscious. Worthless.

They're scoffing at her mother's death.

Her strength.

Her beauty.

Her pride.

Her story.

And she will not allow it.

One of my favourite things about falsettos is how I found about it:

It was a Thursday night and I was just scrolling idly through YouTube, bored out of my mind. When suddenly, I get this 2 hour and 20 minute long video on my homepage titled “hepa hepa hepatitis hepatitis hepatitis?” Funniest title I’ve ever seen without context. So obviously, I click on it, not knowing what the hell I’d find (and being a bit startled by Andrew Rannells staring at me in the thumbnail). And then I see the opening for the musical. “Christian borle” oh I’ve heard of that guy! Love him in Something Rotten and CATCF! “Andrew Rannells” oh isn’t that the guy who’s in the Book of Mormon? He voices Veneer right? “Falsettos” OH I’ve heard of that before! I listened to a bit of the soundtrack when it was shuffling randomly on Spotify! And now usually, I don’t have the attention span for videos this long and musicals that I’m not seeing live, but that time I js went “fuck it!” and watched it through.

Best choice of my fucking life.

Photos from that night:

Average falsettos experience,, also face reveal ig!! But yeah. I was hooked. And I find it genuinely amazing how just one little random click on a video with a funny title could get to me where I am now: drawing all the characters, writing fanfics, falling inlove with the cast (2016 and 1992), and having an “encyclopedic knowledge of all things Falsettos” (my grammas words).

So yeah. Just a little story. Thought I’d share, cuz I still think about that night and it puts a smile on my face.

Thanks for reading :)

Edit: thanks for the notes and support on the post!! Usually when I post stuff that isn’t art related people don’t see it it so ty all for caring about my silly story :3

Why can I imagine Ice Hockey Player!Bucky being exactly like this 😖😖

Like he’ll be so kind and gentle with children. PLUS, he so BEEFY and MANLY all the kids are like “how tall are you” or “how much can you lift”

And when one of the girls asks him “do you have a girlfriend?” He lifts his head to wink at you and goes back to the kids describing how he’s met the love of his life and your heart just warms at his words

UGH, currently dying from this thought.

(Maybe he’ll remind you just how much he loves you that very night, if ya know what I mean 🤭🤭)

I love everything about this, lovely! I could easily picture @yenzys-lucky-charm's hockey boys doing this! Or Bucky being a baseball player. Any sport!

But yes, just imagining an athletic, beefy Bucky signing autographs and smiling gently at the kids. Patiently answering every single question they ask. And, of course, the wink at you when they ask about his love life.

"I asked if she'd be my valentine and guess what?" He pauses for dramatic effect. "She said YES."

Cue the little girls saying "aww" as you try not to melt into a puddle on the floor.

AHH! I love this. I need this Bucky in my life. WE need him.

Love and thanks! ❤️

Delivery driver Bucky.

Love that, nonnie. Is he a shameless flirt with dirty puns?

"I got a big one for you."

"Were you expecting a delivery today? 'Cause I see you checking out my package."

"I'm an expert at getting a big package in a tight spot."

We know he always delivers. 😏

Not to mention those thighs of betrayal in those tight shorts. 🔥

Love and thanks. ❤️
