I drew my birthday-Appa.

Because he's precious.

[beifong-brainrot]

Of course, Appa will never be replaced but I do adore the bisons in tlok for what they are.

Oogi

Oogi is a wonderful big ole family vehicle and he carries the family and Tenzin around and even made his tail into a ramp for the kids to skate down. And he's very brave, even when latched onto by evil spirits which looked incredibly painful he still kept going, until he was eventually made to crash.

He also gets along great with Naga and he seemed to love the airship. Which makes sense since its probably his first time in the air where he doesn't have to be the one flying which has to be an experience.

Also I love the theory that Oogi's name was inspired by Sokka saying that Katara and Aang's affection for each other gave him "the oogies"

Lefty

Lefty is Kai's bison and he is a fucking trooper.

After Kai and the airbenders save Lefty from the poachers, Lefty returns the favour by saving not only Kai, but also Tenzin, Asami, Mako and Bolin. He also helped Kai track the Red Lotus' airship which helped the group find Korra and the kidnapped airbenders!

He carried 5 whole people on his back as a fucken baby put some respect on his name!

Tragically he was stolen by the evil Bumi and Meelo at least once. But they took him for an adventure so ig its ok

Also he loafs

Pepper

Freckles. That is all but I think it's important nonetheless

Juicy

Ill be honest I fucking love Juicy. I know he's meant to be gross and all but I think he's probably thw most distinctive air bison we've seen ever and I can't help but find him endearing.

Like look at him! I know he's a snotty boi but he's so cute

And he loves Opal so much! He's constantly nuzzling her and is particularly affectionate. Ans I like that while Opal good naturedly jokes about having checked if she can swap, she's still petting him and cuddling him and seems very loving of him too!

Ans this is really realted to him but I am not over the fact that Opal had an Air Bison picture in her room when she was a kid

Ita very important to me

Aang & Appa = BFFs

[roseride01-blog]

Appa hated it, at first. Fire was the element of the enemy, and Appa’s time away from his family only solidified that notion. Fire destroys, fire is an agent of chaos. Fire has no master. Fire burns.

Appa had thought it was over, that his weeks of flying the Earth Kingdom alone trying to find Aang would be cut short when he didn’t have the strength to fight his way out the his chains underneath Lake Laogi. He was smarter than most other animals, and knew his death was approaching much quicker than he ever thought.

He thought he would die by fire, not by earth.

Even with the Blue Spirit mask on, Appa still knew who had come to see him in chains. He reared up an anger and fear, but the metal links clanked taut, and he could not even get close to the figure.

Then, Prince Zuko has let him go.

It would sometimes get cold being so high in the mountains, the wind whistling through the odd structure of the Western Air Temple. Sometimes, Aang and his friends would curl around the Fire Prince, Aang’s claimed space always with his head pillowed against his firebending teacher’s belly, his cheek turned into the fabric of Zuko’s shirt. Sometimes the Avatar would drool a little, but Zuko would just give a gentle smile, and not bother to wake him.

When is was raining and the temperature dropped even farther, Zuko would sometimes breathe a small breath of fire above them, warming the air around them.

Aang’s arms would unconsciously wrap tighter around Zuko’s waist, humming in approval at the additional warmth.

Appa wasn’t afraid of Zuko’s fire.

Not when he was teaching Aang how to do the same thing, not when he was the one who freed him, not when it was his breathing that kept them warm on chilly nights.

Sometimes, when they were all asleep, including Zuko, Appa would snuggle against the Fire Prince’s head, (as well as he could, anyway) and did his best to keep him warm, too.

Fire was no longer an enemy, fire was his family.

Why did it turn out this way?
