Lekking. A group of glasswing males will frequently gather together, or form 'leks', to find a mate. This competitive behaviour occurs in shaded corners of the rainforest, where males release pheromones to attract a female.

Currently re-reasing the rise of kyoshi and i want to draw some of myfavorite scenes so bad so here you go

---------------------------------------------

“Topknot’s got it,” Lek said, pointing at Rangi. “Look at her, boiling away with Firebender rage. See if you can pull that off.”

“I’m not doing anything,” Rangi protested. “This is my normal face.”

---------------------------------------------

“I want you to teach me how to kill someone.” If Lao Ge was surprised by her answer, he didn’t show it.

"Hit them in the head really hard with a rock. "

---------------------------------------------

Lek forgot his portion as he watched them, amazed. “I didn’t think an army princess and a servant girl from a fancy mansion would take to elephant rat.”

“Survival training at the academy,” Rangi said, breaking a bone with her fingers to get at the marrow. “We learned to accept whatever food we could find in the wild.”

“I used to eat garbage,” Kyoshi said.

---------------------------------------------

Remember, though: Nothing will match the level of insanity of Kuruk and Kyoshi and their companions.

major plothole that went unnoticed by FC Yee :/

This meme but with the Kyoshi characters.

Ps. I don’t know if we ever got precise descriptions for The Flying Opera Company so I did some imagining

[dartalias]

One of the reasons i love reading Kyoshi is her inter monalogue and something i love about it is that she knows about agriculture and its just randomly using this knowledge in her head

(And in her pettiness)

Like in the Daofei city they were worriedly explaining to her how sad and bad it is that they are tied up with a gruop called "Autumn flower society" that have "moon peaches" as their simbol, and how dangerous they were

And Kyoshi first thoght was "moon peaches bloom in the spring, idiots, but of corse they wouldn't know that, they're daofei not farmers"

Or the amont of times they go to a new place and the firt thing she does is cassify the soil as good/bad to plant things

Kyoshi herself acknowledge this trait of hers sometimes

Like she is doing a ditch with earthbending and being like "See that Yokoya??? I can plow land too, i could be a great farmer"

Or when shes eating dust being like "its not eating, its testing, spirits why did i have to know that???"

Love my avatar farmer girly with criminal and artistic genes

Alright, Rangi looking at Kyoshi's scarred hands for the first time may be the gayest moment in western literature, I don't make the rules

[ kirima, to rangi : stop glancing at kyoshi, even lek could stay still for his opera make-up ]

kyoshi era week day 1 - found family/daofei

sketchy and a bit lazy for a scene but i love the flying opera company and i dont want to be late for kyoshi era week <3

ive posted tem before a long time ago but here are my personal designs for them incase someone wants to use them

[foibles-fables]

rating the Flying Opera Company members on how well they'd spot you on bench press

Kyoshi: 8.5/10. Strong, reliable, encouraging. Keeps track of your reps and helps you put away your plates when you're done. Gets a little bit distracted when Rangi is working out nearby, though. Needs a strained "don't got it" to snap back to focus every so often.

Rangi: 7/10. A great and knowledgable spotter, but will offer unsolicited and granular critique on your form that might turn into a 15-minute lecture. Resting bitch face makes it initmidating to approach her and ask for a quick spot, but it's worth it.

Kirima: 5.5/10. Not really interested in spotting you, but will (a bit begrudgingly) if you ask. Stares you down while you lift, silent. Will let you sweat for a few seconds if you can't make the press before she assists, to assert dominance.

Wong: 9.5/10. You're safe in his hands. Can curl the bar with one hand if you fail a rep. Conversely, doesn't hesitate to yell at you to do one more rep if he knows you have it in you. Offers both encouragement and advice. Warms up with your working weight, so you don't even have to put any plates away when you're done with your sets.

Lek: 4/10. Is just overly excited to be asked. "Yeah, I got this!" (He might not have this.) Stands close and yells "LIGHT WEIGHT" when you lift off. Grabs your last rep halfway up and tells you "that was ALL you, ALL YOU." (it wasn't all you.) But he's sweet and genuine and it's hard to be frustrated with him when he's all hyped up.

Lao Ge: 1/10. I wouldn't risk it. If the bar crushes you--it's probably on purpose.

Ambessa exiling Mel and pushing her away out of love and a desire to protect her while Ambessa taking Caitlyn under her wing seeming like a sign of affection but actually betrays how little she cares about Caitlyn and just wants to take advantage of Caitlyn

🤝

Kyoshi’s parents abandoning her for the purpose of protecting her from their criminal lifestyle as they take in Lek in what seems to be an act of compassion but is actually (as interpreted by Lek) them taking advantage of him for all the jobs they could pull with a kid in their crew
