hello! I gotta know... do you have any specific ideas about aang's jewelry making? I think he makes a lot of corded bracelets for his friends but he definitely does more than that

Tysm for the ask! I have a whole craftbending tag on my blog for kataang and their kids and Pema talking about the specific crafts they like but not for jewelry specifically so let’s do this!

corded bracelets are one of Aang’s favorite things to make and he does it all the time but, as you said, that’s not the only thing he makes

when they’re in season he does a lot of flower crowns, both for him and Katara. Katara keeps them all and presses them. 

Aang also really loves beading! They carve the beads themself and put them in really intricate patterns while they’re riding Appa or something like that. 

They personally prefer jewelry with really big beads, but Katara really loves the bracelet he made for her with little tiny beads, so whenever he makes something for her there will be these small, intricate patterns of very tiny beads. 

The gaang does their best to help him find crafting supplies. Suki gets him these flowers that only bloom for two weeks for his flower crowns, Katara will sometimes use her waterbending to carve more detailed patterns, Zuko will literally pick up a rock he finds on the ground and send it to Aang (the rock always inexplicably turns out to be one of the Fire Nation crown jewels that’s been passed down for generations. Nobody knows if Zuko’s doing this deliberately or not.) 

Toph uses metalbending and Sokka uses his blacksmithing skills to make cool interesting beads and jewelry for Aang. Toph insists that she and Sokka are rivals in the beadmaking game, but Sokka of course has exquisite taste so he always wins. 

Aang tries to use all the things their friends send/make for them equally but Sokka has a slight edge because everything he makes is just so good. 

Aang makes and wears a lot of statement necklaces and cool looking bracelets

Seriously he’ll pull up to a political meeting with a necklace that’s just a giant metal flower that Toph made in five minutes and nobody can say anything about it because what are you going to do? Criticize the Avatar’s fashion choices? Really? 

Diplomats don’t know whether they’re wearing that jewelry to throw them off or because they genuinely like it and it gives them a complex.

(at first it’s because they genuinely like it, but then they notice that the weirder the jewelry the easier it is to have political discussions and get what they want so they end up making a line just for political meetings and they look absolutely fab) 

Aang’s constantly got a bunch of friendship bracelets on his wrist, some from his longtime friends, some from people he just met, but he can always name the person that each bracelet is from and tell you a little story about them. 

A shady diplomat decides to try to appeal to Aang with a friendship bracelet but for reasons he still can’t explain that ends with Aang getting everything they want and the diplomat getting absolutely zero. 

but yeah, Aang and jewelry are a vibe <3

🔥 Orange doesn’t deserve all the hype it gets

Hello, I hope you're having a wonderful day! My Suki headcanon is as follows: in a modern au, Suki likes to volunteer at two places. The first one is at a studio teaching young girls mixed martial arts & life lessons & generally being an extremely cool mentor. The second place is a humane society specifically catering to rodents. She sometimes fosters guinea pigs.

ah ty sm! ive had an interesting day at least lol

mentoring kids and caring for rodents omg, Suki is rly that girl who says "is anyone gonna love and appreciate that" and doesn't wait for an answer

kids would love Suki because she never patronizes them. shes best with the troubled kids; she has a strategy of winning over the most difficult teenagers by challenging them to arm wrestling matches and winning. somehow they come out of this experience with renewed respect for her

Aang is her humane society buddy! they volunteer there together every Wednesday & Sunday and he visits her foster guinea pigs all the time

(1/3) hello! in regards to your "kuvira can't drive" post I had some serious thoughts. it makes a lot of sense for kuvira to build a large cross-empire high-speed railway. it goes with how she calls herself the "great uniter," since the railway literally functions to unite the entire earth kingdom by delivering supplies (both foodstuff and construction materials), news/propaganda (presumably), and fascists.

(2/3) I mean, the canadian pacific railway was built (partially) because bc was like "no WAY are we getting in on your federation if we're isolated" because canada's so geographically large. (and there was a lot of racism and exploitation there and there was certainly exploitation involved in the construction of kuvira's railway.)

(3/3) anyways, my point is the railway serves to symbolize that kuvira really did succeed with unification even though she's a fascist dictator. the railway's a symbol for unification, and also a symbol for lesbianism. also you're a poli sci student and I have taken grade 11 social studies so if you have already thought about this... I was not here :)

no don’t worry i knew this already i don’t want anyone to think i was overlooking kuvira’s Bad Decisions i was just making a meme but i’m so glad you brought this up!! i think it was v interesting how far in depth that season went politically... like a rail system is such a big thing from any political angle but it is so easily overlooked. like here in america (ew) there has been a lot of anger because our main rail system is basically non-existent (poor amtrack). it is so difficult to get from even one state to the other by train, let alone across the country, and what little is left of our rail system is being slowly taken apart because of oil companies who would rather force everyone to drive cars than take a more economical and ecological solution like a good rail system (of course there are a lot of issues either way, but the reason why america has no rail system is steeped entirely in the oil and motor industry taking over but i would also argue that by keeping such a geographically large country separate you are able to further divide people politically) but ANYWAYS that was a tangent that really just led to me saying that i love what book 4 did with that. i love it. yes it showed the unification of the empire but also on a deeper level it showed how influential (both good and bad) a rail system is for a country. as someone getting a poli sci degree this spring it makes me go wild to see a show go that in depth with a v important aspect of unification without outright explaining it. but also the rail system in book 4 was to show that kuvira could not drive a car.

🐇 bunny & 🐑 sheep!

🐇 Bunny: What’s a song that you really like?

🍅 tomato & ⛰ mountains!

🍅 Tomato: Have you ever gardened, and if so, what is your favorite thing to grow? 

i haven’t :(( i grew lavender seedlings for this science fair project in like 5th grade and that’s it so uhh that

⛰️ Mountains: Would you rather live in the mountains, city, beach, or the forest?

hi, I hope you're doing groovy! I don't know what kinda vibes you're going for, but may I suggest when spring is coming by ever yearning for a love song playlist? (could also work for gentle!) and for drowning things out when you're in a bad space, save me by lacuna coil (although that one is metal so it's definitely not up everyone's alley). anyhow, I listen to like. A Lot of music so if you ever need recs I am happy to give more!

oh these were both perfect!! tysm!! 

[tysukis]

it's so iconic of you to ship rangshi despite not having read the kyoshi novels

Listen I saw two very powerful sapphics and needed no more convincing

Suki for the ask game!

*sokka voice* SUKKKKIIIIIII

Sexuality hc: bi bi bi bi bi bi bi biiiiii

Gender hc: nonbinary transfem Suki rights

A ship I have with said character: my favorite Suki ship is yueki but since I already talked about it I’m going to say sukka! they play off of each other so well and it’s so cute how they are willing to learn from each other and how they’re always there for each other. 

A BROTP I have with said character: Suki and Katara are such a vibe as friends, like Katara might be intimidated of Suki/think that Suki’s way too cool to be dating her brother, and Suki would think that Katara’s such an amazing fighter and would be floored that her dork boyfriend has such a cool sister and be intimidated of her, and then Sokka would get sick of them being intimidated of each other and put them in a room until they started talking and became friends. 

A NOTP I have with said character: I saw Suki/Haru in a fic once and it was so clearly there so that Sokka would be free to make room for zukka but like I cannot get that out of my mind. truly one of the most batshit ships I’ve ever seen. I can’t even explain what makes me so uncomfy about it it’s just.....no. Haru’s gay and even if he weren’t he’s sure as hell not Suki’s type. 

A random headcanon: Okay I know that Suki’s super competent at what she does (fighting) but I don’t think that’s the path that she would have chosen for herself if it weren’t for the war, and I hc that after the war she steps down as the leader of the Kyoshi Warriors and writes a biography of Kyoshi (no biographies of Kyoshi have been written by a Kyoshi Island resident before, and a lot of the biographies shy away from Kyoshi’s bisexuality, so as a bi Kyoshi Island resident she wants to write a more honest portrait of her idol) 

General opinion of the character: Suki is amazing, but I think that she doesn’t get the kind of depth in canon or fanon that she deserves. So much time in this fandom is spent getting Suki out of the way to make room for zukka, or just forgetting she exists altogether, and it bothers me SO MUCH. hence why I am deeply pumped for Suki, Alone (gosh please be good I can’t take this comic being bad) 

send me a character and I’ll tell you a sexuality hc, a gender hc, a ship, a brotp, a notp, a random hc, and my opinion of the character!
