#korra with tattoos

[notdayle]

Can you imagine if Korra walked into screen looking like this? This started as a doodle and started experimenting rendering

If anyone ever says to me Legend of Korra is bad ever again, I will throw hands and fight them. S3 was a masterpiece.

Back in my Avatar AU bag. We should probably talk about how sandbenders were portrayed.

Anyways meet Iften, he don’t wanna be the Avatar! He’s too busy being a dad and trying not to think about he past it’s always there anyways.

Also all Avatars have a spirit guide, and his is a sandstork. They are basically huge storks that live in the Si Wong Desert. They’re kinda like a mix of ostrich I guess? I imagine the sandbenders would’ve rode them instead of camels before they invented sand sailors or whatever the fuck the boat things are called.

9 years ago today, I watched the LoK finale on my little Google Chromebook alone in my bedroom. I was 17 and had just finished my first semester of my senior year of high school.

I had known I was not straight since I was 8-9 years old, but was ashamed of it - the Bible Belt is not a friendly environment for anyone who doesn’t fit into the cishet mold. I’d resolved to never reveal that part of myself to anyone.

I wouldn’t say that I was an open, active Korrasami shipper before this point (due to internalized homophobia). However, one of my guilty pleasures was reading Korrasami fanfiction, and I had keenly noticed the change in the way they behaved around one another starting in S3 - the way they grew closer and more comfortable around each other, bonding over their failed romances with Mako, the way they looked out for one each other, Asami taking Korra’s hand and comforting her after she helps her get ready for Jinora’s ceremony, Korra only writing to Asami during the three years she was gone…

But there was no way in a million years that they would ever actually make them canon. Right?

When Korra and Asami walked into the spirit portal, I was shocked, but also immediately in denial. I told myself, “Nope, they’re just friends :)”

But deep down, I knew that their ending was romantic. Friends don’t look at each other like that! And they even played a tiny bit of “The Avatar’s Love” at the very end! I’m an AtLA superfan! I noticed that!

Then, Bryan Konietzko made a tumblr post clarifying that yes, Korrasami was canon whether we liked it or not. And once again, I was dumbfounded. A franchise that I had loved so much since childhood had just done something groundbreaking. For the first time ever, I saw people like me portrayed in media I loved. And when I read Bryan’s words about how important queer representation like this is, it clicked for me.

From that point forward, I started to acknowledge my queer identity. I went to college, became a vocal ally, and eventually started coming out to family and friends. Today, I’m not only out in my personal life, but also my professional life.

I’m so, so proud of my identity. And it’s all thanks to what Bryke and the LoK team fought to give us nearly a decade ago.

Happy 9 year anniversary, Korrasami. 💙❤️

The weight of a promise

Rating: G

Summary: What if Aang died before Tenzin was able to get his tattoos? Grief and loss does a lot to those impacted and people process it differently. It can be healing, bringing the affected together. It can also tear one apart.

****

It was too early, wasn’t it? 

There was no real answer to that. No matter what or when, it would have always felt too early. There were never going to be enough moments with him. They knew he was running on borrowed time, but still–

They were supposed to have more time together as a family. 

He should have been able to be there and see all of the important things in life. Birthdays. Weddings. Potential babies. Spirits, even the quiet moments of stillness in casual get togethers. Any and all of that. How could he do this to them? 

For a moment of solitude, Tenzin sat by the cliffside on their home at Air Temple Island which overlooked Yue Bay. His focus glazed over to the far horizons where the Bay met the thick and heavy skies.

They were only in the early stages of planning it all out together. Aang had considered Tenzin was finally ready to get his tattoos, a visual representation of him officially becoming an air bending master, around a month ago.

✨ MEET THE ARTIST ✨

forgot to post this here 😭

There are a few Easter eggs to find... Can you recognise them all? Let me know how many passions we share‼️ 👀

Probably won't be very active with my art because I'm graduating and also ART BLOCK so please don't forget about me!!! 😭

2017 version + my kittens irl + drawing details under the cut ‼️

Details 💫

My kittens in real life!!!! THEY'RE TOO CUTEEE

2017 version of my Meet the artist! I was 18 UGH that was probably one of the worst years of my life lol but it's... so weird comparing this to the one I've done, not only seeing the improvement but like... how I've changed and everything (and how some things stay the same lol)

[demidevilqueen]

[dumb-coward]

It is devastating, that I cannot fucking find legen of korra fan merch.

Wtf.

Just let me have a korra enamel. I dont want Aang. Gimme Korra!!!

[thejourneyofwan-fanproject]

Hand drawn art I did from 2015 pose/reference by elven-thespian

Most of my art back then was hand drawn/pencil tbh anything digital was whatever I could make do with my tablet lol

I’m honestly still a sucker for this headcanon that Wan and Korra are the only avatars with Raava’s marking on their backs, as both witnessed the convergence and fused with her before it ended.

[heirscrchd]

so with Aang's airbender tattoos glowing when he goes into the avatar state

does that mean any tattoo an avatar gets would start glowing or is aang just special?

[m0use123]

Head cannon :-

Okay, so you know how airbenders get their tattoos when they become a master?

Well going by that logic shouldn't all Avatars receive bending tattoos as they've mastered that element to become a fully fledged Avatar?

You only ever see the air nomad Avatars earn their tattoos and I just don't get why.

Okay ...... discuss 🫣
