Oh shit ur totally right and you should say it louder sister

A Tale of Spirits updates and sneaks

So, this will be quick. I’m officially moving back to Sunday updates. That Wednesday thing only lasted about a week (and not even) lol. I’m just to used to Sundays being the day!

We have two really short sneaks below and one will be under a cut for a slight reveal, so if you want to avoid it, you can! We’ll be shifting gears and ramping up since a lot of the set up is done. I almost wish I had labeled the chapters in terms of arcs. I’ll probably update that on Sunday with my post so no one gets any false alarm notifications. Anyway! A Tale of Spirits has three arcs and we’re done with arc 1! Into Arc 2!

So here are the quick sneaks for the upcoming chapter. Like always, these are unedited and subject to change, but the feeling of the passages will remain.

SNEAK PEEK 1 (Iroh POV)

When Mikey first said Zuko would be the Avatar’s teacher he’d nearly fainted at the revelation. A type of clarity he hadn’t experienced in an age washed over him. Of course. Why else would the Avatar awaken after such a dormant period? The Royal Line has searched for decades, yet it was his nephew, who found him. During his age of maturity no less. Iroh watches Zuko fail yet again at producing lightening and turns back to the symbol. He’s not ready to inherit the heavy weight of the crown, but he will be. Zuko has always been stubborn and excitable, but maybe teaching the Avatar will provide him with more patience.

He taps three corners of the symbol sketched before him. The spirits have landed with the best teachers for the Avatar to master his elements. Leonardo with the waterbender, Raphael with the young earthbender, and Michelangelo with his nephew. All chosen to help guide Aang to reestablish the balance of this world. Iroh hovers over the fourth corner of the sketch and frowns.

Donatello and his choice is the only one that does not fit.

SNEAK PEEK 2 (Sokka POV)

#donnie is totally the exception in most scenarios #the most glaring of course being his soft shell in comparison to his brothers hard shells #then there's the whole autistic and neorodivergent thing of course #which to be fair all of the turtles exhibit in some capacity #but as most of the fandom has pointed out #donnie is the most notable or relatable of the bunch #i think even going so far as a creator confirming it or implying the confirmation #and we're not even going into his tech abilities #which out of all the brothers is the ninpo most removed of what one would assume a mystic power to look like #yet it's still so donnie that when I first saw it I didn't give it a second glance #we could also get into donnie's loose morals or perhaps dificulties grasping the consequences his actions have on his family #examples being Donnies gifts and the purple game #but I would just be here all day #I don't remember what the point of this was anymore but that be the ADHD I guess #i love donnie and this fic #go read the fic you dum dums #rottmnt
