Hey Bay! I hope you’re having a good one. Have you ever thought of what an atla au would look like with the cast of sa? I have many thoughts but am very curious to see your take!

Hii K! I hope you're having a good day as well :)

This is a great question, and it came at a good time because the ATLA hyperfixation has been creeping back into my brain as of late. I have thought of combining Spirit Animals and ATLA before, but I haven't worked out all the details in my head.

The tricky thing is, in the world of ATLA, two of our protagonists wouldn't exist. Rollan and Meilin are fine, though, being Native American and Chinese-coded respectively. I've considered an AU with just the two of them. But in order to have Conor and Abeke in this as well, we would have to either allow other races to exist in ATLA's world or have this whole AU take place on Erdas. In any case, Conor would be an earthbender, Abeke a waterbender, Meilin a firebender and Rollan an airbender.

Let's say they all team up because of a prophecy that says four benders, each of a different element, will be able to harness the power of the Avatar and restore balance to the world. Maybe Feliandor was the last Avatar and did catastrophic damage to the planet during the last Great War. The Great Beasts would be able to control all four elements and, as it turns out, bestow that power upon a lesser creature. Kovo and Gerathon did this for the first time with Feliandor, and he almost levelled the world with his power before he was stopped. Five hundred years later, they choose a new Avatar to finish what was started -- Shane. Only by using all of their bending together are the Four Heroes able to stop him.

That's my half-baked concept for an ATLA AU. I'd love to hear your ideas!

My man knows especially this time of year I tend make what he calls my nest in bed. I surround myself with pillows (I have a system but the most important are the two on either side of me, one under my head and one between my legs) and then burrow under a heated blanket and down duvet. But my heated blanket died and so this morning as I was getting ready for bed he tossed a brand new ultra fuzzy faux fur one on the bed for me 😭 it's so lux I don't wana sleep I just wana be warm and pet it

complaining:

on the one side, my father is asking for my email (bro, it hasn't changed in a decade) to hand to his sister, my aunt, to hand to her daughter, my cousin, for wedding planning reasons. this is silly, because i'm not going: we haven't seen each other in a decade, not sure we even spoke to each other the last time we were in the same room, it's in the Hot Humid Place at the Hottest Humidest Time of the Year, i am way too socially deficient to comport myself appropriately among their high society, i don't even have a suit that remotely fits, .... anyway, he's not going to be happy to hear all that, and won't take 'no' for an answer, and it doesn't matter!

on the other side, my mother is trying to get me to visit her in ---: please come fly across the country (no thank you) to go to the beach (no thank you) in the hot place (no thank you) in a state where you might get arrested for using the bathroom if the wrong person notices you (no thank you) and hang out with my husband who doesn't like you (no thank you) and listen to him talk about how much he dislikes his own children (no thank you).

y'know, I've been hearing about the new Zelda's $70 pricetag a lot -- but I've also been enduring a rough patch at uni, so I haven't been able to do any of the thinking or researching that I'd want to do before throwing my lot in there. regardless, there are two... fragments of points that I've had bouncing around in my head for a while, and I never see anyone getting close to them, so I figured I might as well lob them out to the internet to see if they'll bounce around enough to inspire some completed thoughts in anyone

the first thing: while Nintendo was the one that decided to take the first shot here and now, with a very highly anticipated title in one of its absolute flagship franchises, the matter of fact is that bumping up the Standard AAA Game Pricetag -- and to $70 exactly, even -- has been a talk in the industry for many, many years now. it's not a coincidence, or even just the industry's typical unparodiably vulture-like behavior, that as soon as Nintendo took the first shot, other studios were tripping over themselves to pin their next big releases at $70 as well.

(if you ask someone speaking for the studios, they'll probably tell you that $60 has been a downright generous pricetag for a long while now given how much production costs have soared in that time, and even $70 is still a steal all things considered. a less charitable point of view would invite you to consider why production costs are increasing so much anyway, despite that consumer satisfaction has long stopped increasing proportionally to that metric. is it an oversight, or a decision in the service of someone besides the consumer? that's not a rhetoric question, incidentally -- I did say these aren't finished thoughts.)

the second thing: first worlders have been much worried about what a price hike in games would mean for children, and to that I say: you may have more insight on the present situation if you look to countries where this sort of thing already has or still does happen.

I can say at the very least that, for a solid while here in Brazil -- that solid while having peaked around the 00s -- economic factors made the seemingly reasonable pricetag worldwide an oft-unthinkable one for most consumers (and the few that could actually afford videogames straight-up were still a stingy lot regardless). and what we did about it was... rampant piracy. and I don't just mean downloading shit, I mean that parents were buying their kids the sketchiest disks you can imagine to pop into their PS2s at home that probably weren't 100% the legit article either. owning a completely legitimate copy of any game was seen as some sort of Collector's Edition kind of rarity, even. anyway, I'm not exactly making predictions about how your first-world markets are going to adapt when/if videogames seriously slip out of the average consumer's grasp -- again, unfinished thoughts here -- but if you've been thinking about it, then this kind of thing may be worth studying up on.

The new Reverse Mode C Multidirectional Delay from Chase Bliss is nothing short of spectacular...as one might imagine...

[doedipus]

the revised physics on 2h and sol poente (aka flipkick) allow for some pretty incredible damage and positional control- with a c.s starter and some finnicky timing, giovanna can basically put you wherever she wants you.
