[teoaang-appreciation]

Mark your calendars! We have a Teoaang Week 2022!

September 4-18

Or should I say Teoaang Weeks? This event will take place over two weeks so that the prompts are spread out, giving creators more time to create! Any creations are welcome: fics, art, edits, mood boards, playlists, incorrect quotes or headcanons, etc!

In the first week, the first three prompts can be posted on any day. And then the last three prompts can be posted any time the following week.

PROMPTS

Free Falling

Wait For Me

Air Acolyte

Seasons Change

Home

Modern AU/Free Space

There is no pressure to do ALL the prompts, any teoaang content is wanted! (Craved, even!) I tried to make the prompts unique in general while still fitting for this pairing.

I would prefer the focus on teoaang and SFW, but again, poly ships and nsfw content are welcome as long as tagged accordingly (no noncon or incest, characters must be 18+) and please be respectful of all creators.

Early or late submissions are perfectly acceptable. Please feel free to tag this blog with any teoaang content either before or after the event.

air temples

Written for Day 5 of @aangweek! Read here on AO3.

~*~

5. air temples - i finally realized, all of this time / it was in me / all along, it was in me

Faded. That was the word. Everything about the Northern Air Temple was… faded.

The murals had grown softer, paint peeling and splintered with jagged cracks. The walls were crumbling in many rooms, the insertion of metal pipes drastically changing the infrastructure. Spaces that had once been full of people, full of life, were abandoned. Desolate. Empty.

Aang’s memories were so - so vibrant in his mind. And now, the present simply… paled in comparison.

Faded. Everything had faded.

His chest was tight.

“Aang? Can I come in?”

Aang blinked upon hearing his name, turning around to see that Teo had wheeled up behind him. His new friend had come to a stop beneath a fractured wooden doorframe. “Uh… sure?” he finally answered. “I don’t think you need my permission, though.”

Teo shrugged as he rolled inside. “You seemed lost in thought. I didn’t want to startle you.”

Aang flushed. He’d definitely been caught up in the past. Or maybe he’d been agonizing over the present. Was there a difference? “Oh.”

Teo laughed. “Nothing wrong with being easy to read. My father tells me I’m the same.”

Aang smiled. “I guess it’s not too bad, then. Having anything in common with you is a plus.”

It was Teo’s turn for his face to redden. “Wow. Me, having something in common with the Avatar?” He shook his head, feigning awe. “That’s incredible. I’ve never felt so cool.”

Aang rolled his eyes, grinning. “As if you didn’t almost out-glide me all of a few hours ago.”

“‘Almost’?” Teo repeated, eyes twinkling with mischief. “I seem to recall that I did out-glide you, Avatar.”

Aang laughed, tilting his head to the side. “Then I guess we’ll just have to organize an official rematch, won’t we?”

“I’ll pencil it into my schedule. Hope you’re ready to lose again.”

“Ooh, fighting words.” Aang winked at him. “Don’t count your pickens before they hatch.” A beat passed, and he shook his head, realizing Teo had probably not tracked him down for small talk. “Sorry. I kind of took us on a tangent there. Was there a specific reason you were looking for me?”

Teo blinked. “Yes. Right.” He jutted his thumb behind them. “There’s something I want to show you in my room. I think it might… mean something to you.”

Aang frowned. “Should we get Katara and Sokka?”

Teo shook his head. “No. It won’t matter to them.” He hesitated, amending, “I mean, we can get them if you want, of course. It’s just -” Teo huffed. “Sorry. I didn’t think…” He met Aang’s eyes, and his next words made Aang’s entire body tense. “I found something from your people. The airbenders. I thought you might want to see it… in private.”

Aang swallowed hard, blinking back tears he both did and didn’t understand. “Thank you,” he whispered after a pause. He cleared his throat. “I really appreciate that.” He gestured to the door. “Lead the way?”

Teo nodded, and when he steered himself out the room, Aang followed.

“I found it recently,” Teo explained as he directed Aang through the temple. “Completely on accident, too. I had to get up super early one morning to help my dad with some work, so I wasn’t even half-awake when I got into my chair. I was pulling my hair up, but apparently I’d forgotten to lock the brakes, because gravity rolled me backwards with a little extra force into the corner of my room.”

Aang’s eyes widened. “Wait, are you -”

“Oh, I’m fine,” Teo reassured him with a dismissive wave of his hand. “I took way harder hits than that when I was first learning how to land with my glider.”

Aang laughed. “Yeah, landing is a lot easier when you can use airbending as a cushion.”

Teo sighed dramatically. “If only! I have to rely on favorable air currents and precise mathematical angles.”

Aang winked at him. “Which goes to show how brilliant you are, since you now land so effortlessly.”

Teo snorted. “Trial and error, Aang. Trial and error.” He gave him a crooked smile. “And all the math, too.” He paused, rolling to a stop. “Okay. We’re here.”

The room wasn’t too different from how Aang remembered the sleeping quarters of the Northern Air Temple to be. Minimalistic, yet comforting. Aang noticed there were a few mechanical gadgets scattered about the place that hadn’t been there a century ago, as well as a wooden desk with smudged blueprints resting atop it.

Teo must have realized what he was looking at, as his face went scarlet and he immediately flipped the sketches over. “Sorry. They’re nowhere near as good as my dad’s yet.”

Aang wanted to protest that Teo’s designs were fine and he didn’t want to compare them to his father’s anyway, but his voice vanished as Teo pointed to an open corner of his bedroom. A small space to the left of his friend’s sleeping arrangements.

“My chair knocked a brick loose that morning,” Teo explained, continuing the story he’d started in the hall. “At first, I thought it was just because the temple is old.” He wheeled over to the corner, running his hand over a stone slightly lighter than the rest. Indiscernible to someone not looking for it. “But when I tried to fix it…” Teo slid the brick out of the wall. In the space left open behind it were…

Scrolls?

“I found these,” Teo finished, pulling out three sheets of rolled-up parchment with his other hand and offering them to Aang. “I think they were made by the airbenders who used to live here.” He paused. “Your people, I mean.”

Aang accepted the scrolls with shaking hands. The edges of the papers had yellowed with time, age making them thin and fragile, but overall the pages were well-preserved.

Aang carefully unrolled each sheet, smoothing them out flat atop Teo’s desk. They were… Pictures.

Art.

Two were drawn by young boys, Aang presumed, based on the inexperience and bright hues of the art style. One was of a grinning sky bison, and the other was a color-coded collage of the symbols for the four elements. Both images radiated childlike glee.

The third was much neater, painted by the hand of someone gifted with a brush. It depicted the Air Nomads’ tattooing ceremony, Aang realized, where an unidentified airbender was being given their arrows and granted the title of an airbending master. Everything about the picture was - was vibrant, from the sky blue arrows to the warm tones of the monks’ orange robes, each detail bursting with memories of a peaceful time long since passed.

Aang hadn’t realized he was crying until Teo began to frantically ask if he was okay.

“I’m fine,” Aang reassured his friend, voice steadier than he expected it to be. He wiped his eyes, but tears continued to silently fall. “I just…” He glanced down at the three artworks a second time before turning around to crush Teo in a hug. The young mechanic seemed shocked, but soon returned the embrace.

“Thank you,” Aang whispered, his face nestled in Teo’s shoulder. “For keeping them alive.”

Teo squeezed Aang tighter. “I owe them everything. We wouldn’t have survived without this temple.”

The Northern Air Temple. Full of secrets and surprises. A painful past, a painful present, yet nonetheless possessing a hopeful future.

Faded, Aang had called it.

No. No, it wasn’t faded. He’d been wrong. The temple was vibrant. Bursting with colors contained behind gray stone walls. The temple was scarred, maybe. Aang couldn’t deny that. Bruised, even. Beaten and broken and blistered.

But not faded.

Vibrant.

~*~

no i don't have a teoaang agenda why do you ask?? i hope to see you tomorrow for day 6 - grief. (also can y'all believe aang week is almost finished?? i need a whole aang year smh.) thank you for reading!

[agus-pie]

teoaang and platonic bokorra (bolin and korra)

Platonic bokorra omg not korra the Herbo (no. Not a bimbo cause that’s a different thing, and not a himbo, a herbo) and the blueprint of a himbo. So beautiful. They don’t have a single braincell together but that “date” they went on in the first lok season should be enough proof that they would have so much fun together doing the dumbest shit ever I love them❤️❤️

And teoaang. Honestly I didn’t see it until I was watching atla with a friend (yes I force my friends to watch atla with me cause somebody has to show them the light) and she said: “wow I get a really good vibe between these two,,,” and honestly? I can vibe with it? Like I’m not obsessed with it but I can appreciate a nice weird ship when I see one

Sharing on this blog in case anyone is so inclined to make some teoaang content for this lovely upcoming Aang-centric event. 💛

Feel free to tag this blog as well and it’ll get shared!

Aang Rarepair Week 2022: Rules, Prompts, and FAQ

Thank you everyone for your prompt suggestions! The prompts have been chosen for Aang Rarepair Week 2022, which will run April 18 - April 22. Every day will have two prompts for you to choose from.

This post is intended to serve as a masterpost for the entire event. It will include the dates, prompts, rules, a FAQ, and some helpful resources! Make sure to click the readmore to get ALL the information!

Prompt List

Rules

Based on AO3 stats and general popularity, this event is for Aang ships that do not include Katara, Zuko, or Toph. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these ships, but this week is about rarepairs! These other characters can be present in the work, just not as Aang's only partner. Poly ships are welcome as well, and in that case you include one of those three in the ship. So for example, Aang/Azula/Katara would be allowed, but Aang/Zuko/Katara is not. If you have any questions about what ships are allowed, feel free to message us.

The focus of the content should be on the Aang rarepair. Other ships are allowed, as long as the Aang ship is front and center!

NSFW/Mature content is allowed, as long as you tag everything appropriately. So on tumblr, that means following their guidelines for NSFW images. On AO3, that means giving your fic the appropriate rating and tags.

Any kind of creative content is allowed! Fanfiction, fanart, edits, playlists, headcanons, moodboards, ANYTHING!

(click under the readmore for FAQ and resources)

FAQ

How do I participate in Aang Rarepair Week?

Create your content and post it on tumblr. If you post on AO3, make sure to share the link on tumblr. Tag this blog in the main body of your post (@aangtheestallion). In the tags, tag “aangtheestallion,” "aang rarepair week," and/or “ARW2022.” If we don’t reblog your post within 24 hours, feel free to send us a message with the link! I’m sure we all know how unreliable the tumblr tagging system is, we would never intentionally not reblog someone’s post!

If I’m not a creator, how can I support Aang Rarepair Week?

The best way to support content creators leading up to and during Aang Rarepair Week is to let them know you support them! Reblog and comment on their work, send rarepair content into this blog for us to post, etc. We’ll be reblogging Aang rarepair content from now up until the week itself. Supporting that work now will encourage creators for the event week itself.

Who is in charge of Aang Rarepair Week?

This blog and the event are being run by @praetorqueenreyna and @avatraang.

What's going on with those Trope Prompts?

I have a question that isn’t here!

The "Classic Tropes" prompt on Day 2 means that you can pick any classic fanfic trope to center your content around. Check out some options for ideas here and here. The "Reverse Tropes" prompt on Day 4 is exactly what it sounds like: a reversal of the tropes we're used to. Examples are here and here.

Feel free to send us asks, we’d love to hear from you all! They can be questions, headcanons, ideas, or anything else! If you have a question you’d like us to answer privately, be sure to let us know in the ask. Otherwise, all other asks will be published on our blog.

Helpful resources

Here is a random ship generator that will match an Aang rarepair with one of the prompts. This is not a comprehensive list of the ships allowed, it's a jumping off point.

Classic Tropes resources: Examples here and here. I have also found two trope randomizers online (here and here) that will pick out tropes for you.

Reverse Tropes resources: Examples here and here. You can use the trope randomizers here as well, just pick the opposite of what you get!

[teoaang-appreciation]

This blog is to create more fan content for one of my favorite rare pairs: Teoaang! 💛 I’ll be finding any teoaang content to post and hopefully grow some awareness for this sweet ship!

Eventually this blog will host an actual ship week, once I work out those details and a schedule. I might try something new or I might stick with usual prompts. Plan for that to be in the fall sometime this year! Edit: Dates and prompts HERE!

The header and icon images are made by the wonderful @overlordneon. This blog is ran by @authorjoydragon, feel free to tag me in teoaang content or DM it to me! I want to post with credit to the OP.

***This blog will be friendly towards polyamorous relationships involving Teoaang as well, such as Teophaang or Teoaanglee.

***NSFW content is fine as long as it’s tagged correctly. And obviously no incest or pedophilia or noncon.

Aang for character ask game? ☺️

MY BB 🥰💫✨🌈

Sexuality Headcanon: tbh i don’t think aang would go by a label but if he had to pick one it’d be bi

Gender Headcanon: ENBY GO HE/THEY THATS MY HE/THEY

A ship I have with said character: kataang 💫❤️💐✨ theyre in love your honor and teoaang my bbs

A BROTP I have with said character: zuko and aang, sokka and aang, toph and aang, ty lee and aang...aang is just homies with everybody

A NOTP I have with said character: i don’t really romantically ship aang with any one except katara and teo so ehhhh

A random headcanon: he holds a day out of the year to mourn his people and he spends half the day being stoic and the second half enjoying his time with his friends and appreciating the people he has in his life now.

General Opinion over said character: MY CINNAMON APPLE!!! MY BABY BOY!!! I WOULD TAKE A BULLET FOR HIM!!

[teoaang-appreciation]

Neon is letting me use his artwork for header and icon! Isn’t the art so cute? Give him a follow!

Doodled this one like, 2 weeks ago

[authorjoydragon]

JOY!!! Do Aang for the Ask Game!

Favorite Thing About Them: He was always able to stay positive after all his trauma and pain. I actually relate to his temper, it made him human and relatable, and I liked watching him overcome that. (That perfectly leads to my next section…)

Least Favorite Thing About Them: He needs to learn how to apologize properly. He says a lot of hurtful things when he’s angry, does a lot of jealous things or petty things. I was miffed that the writing didn’t often show him apologizing for his actions. I know he’s 12 but even so, what a great message that would send to kids watching! And it would have been awesome to develop his character. I like to believe that he grew out of this and really did become a mature, wise, and thoughtful man.

I know he’s the least fave for a lot of people but Aang has always been a character that I relate to, because of his flaws. I just…relate very deeply to him and I care about this 2D character so much okay 😭

Favorite Line: FLAMEO HOTMAN! Kidding… I do love the serious lines he was given that showed his wisdom. One of my favorites is: “The past can be a great teacher.”

BroTP: I’d have to go with Sokka and Aang! When these two get together it is simply himbo 4 himbo, one shared brain cell between them.

OTP: Taang of course!!! Although I truly am Aang Rare Pair trash, I have lots of Aang ships that I absolutely adore. That being said shameless plug for my new side blog @teoaang-appreciation go check it out!

NoTP: I don’t really have one for Aang. I guess…adults? Don’t ship the 12 year old with 40+yo men?

Random Headcanon: He has a huge passion for animals and makes several more zoos and conservatories across the world. He makes sure to get lots of legislation passed to protect endangered animals and recover those on the brink of extinction. (Zuko helps him a lot with this.)

Unpopular Opinion: I thought that Aang’s final battle/arc was satisfying. The only thing I have a bone to pick with is the pointy rock, simply because I actually wanted to see more growth from him. I wanted to see Fully Realized Avatar Aang.

Song I Associate With Them: My first thought was actually a sad song. That’s not the one I picked, but I did pick this other sad song! Fernweh (Shore) by Zach Winters

The definition of fernweh is something like a far, distant yearning. Fitting for Aang, I think. These are the only lyrics:

Wet rain, waiting under a cloud that's full of rain

Cold feet standing upon a shore that's cold and grey

Endless horizon, that melts away from left to right

Blurries the edges, where sky and ocean reunite

….and now I’m tempted to write a very sad and depressing Aang-centric fic.

Favorite Picture of Them: Hands down the flower crown one my smiley boy.

[teoaang-appreciation]

As of Feb 2022, there are only 29 tagged Teo/Aang fics on AO3!
