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.
---------------------------------------------
I love them so much <33 this took so long whipe im still in my flying opera company phase im gonna continue to draw them (especially rangshi they have my heart) also kirima, lek, and lao ge (sorry i cant draw wong) im currently working on a kirima design!! So!!

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

Hi, love your posts <3
What’s your favorite bird that you’ve seen irl?
Thank you!!
Without a doubt, it's the Lesser Prairie-Chicken. My friend was able to find a lek site and get permission from the government department which oversaw it to go out and see the birds lekking. I tagged along and despite it being a 4hr drive and a cold night at the campground, I got to see these tiny chickens pouring their heart out into showing off and competing for the ladies nearby. It was absolutely magical.
And they sound so weird!! I'll attach a link below. The uhh.... 'bubble' noises are made using their inflated throat pouches, and the other more 'chicken-y' noises are what they sound like when they're squabbling. They're sooooo cute.
#asks#personal#GOD they were so cute#this species kicked off my desire to see as many grouse species at a lek as possible

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
#“never even plowed earth before and wanna say something??”#-Kyoshi#Probably to Lek#Or some rich annoying noble guy#Kyoshi canalizing her inter Aoma whenever she wants to cursed/insult someone#I love Kyoshi's comebacks i think they should be more apprecieted#Shes so fun to read#Its given Percy Jackson pov and im here for it#This types of little trait are one of the best thing you can do to your character#kyoshi avatar#avatar kyoshi#kyoshi#rise of kyoshi#avatar chronicles#avatar novels#the shadow of kyoshi#Avatar

Luminara, grown up. Not sure how old she is supposed to be here though.
For those that don't know, she is a fan character of mine, that is the adopted daughter of Ahsoka and Barriss, and named her Luminara.
