HELP I saw the anti Longing-For-AcidRain rb you so i checked her ao3 and it's legit just torture p*rn of Katara🤢That and one Voltron fic from years ago tagged 'Fantastic Racism' where Allura,the TEEN BLACK GIRL and GENOCIDE SURVIVOR,is the racist one.The speaking over indigenous folks on Zutara happened twice with the last part too,she also deadass told an indigenous woman praising Kataang for positive interracial rep she's not allowed to hate Zutara because she(op)thinks it's the wrong kind😭Can her Whitetara ass just leave the fandom jfc

I’m not sure what else we can expect from a toxic zutara shipper lmfaooo they are so weird

[atla-confessions]

Also that ask saying 'Did Dante Basco actually do something or are people just mad he likes Zutara' that completely rebuffed the reply explaining what a weirdo Dante is with things he's done because 'Oh okay,so only miss [idk the rest 'cause i ain't read that shit]' genuinely has me worried,especially with that one t*rf that's been harrassing Kataangers for years they jumped to make stuff up about to make her look like the victim(and she started the Aang b*ymom shit like the Whitetara she is).Don't play with me rn,how many instinces of innapropriate behavior from people have gotten a pass by Z/Ks based on their illusions of ship based persecusion?Real question if the anons with horror stories about their attempts at liking Zutara wanna come back

Painting a thangka is a medium through which the highest ideas of Buddhism were evoked and brought alive. The main reason for painting thangka was for sickness or trouble, death in the family and the need for an image in connection with a particular religious practice.

Designing the People of Kengir

The Sumerians referred to their land as Kengir, meaning "Country of the noble lords". The people of Sumer referred to themselves as "Black-Headed Ones" or "Black-Headed People"

The People of Kengir are a crucial cultural group within Epic of Naram, inspired by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia. Kengir stands as a symbol of an advanced and once-powerful civilization that has since faded, with only its ruins and the main antagonist serving as a reminder of its glorious past. In designing this group, I focused on capturing the blend of mystery, wisdom, and decline that characterizes their society, while also emphasizing their influence on the architecture, science, and magic of the world.

Cultural Inspirations: The people of Kengir are directly influenced by ancient Mesopotamian cultures, particularly the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Akkadians. Mesopotamia, often called the “cradle of civilization,” contributed significantly to advancements in writing, law, and architecture. These influences played a key role in shaping the visual identity of Kengir, from their grand ziggurat-style structures to their emphasis on knowledge, astrology, and spiritual practices.

Clothing and Design: When designing the Kengir people's attire, I aimed to combine elements of ancient Mesopotamian clothing—with long, draped fabrics, elaborate headwear, and the use of rich materials—with a sense of decay and age. The Kengir people, once the rulers of an advanced civilization, now live among the ruins of their ancestors, so their clothing reflects both their past grandeur and their present-day struggles to hold onto that legacy.

For the woman's design I heavily based her jewelry on Queen Puabi. Queen Puabi, a historical figure, was discovered with some of the most extravagant and intricate burial goods in Mesopotamian history. Her regalia—full of rich gold, lapis lazuli, and carnelian—became the visual foundation for the female character designs. I think that her head piece looks otherwordly and worthy to be in a fantasy media.

Refinement and Feedback: During the design process, I explored various interpretations of Mesopotamian garments, looking at how their elaborate patterns and symbols could be incorporated into a more fantasy-driven world. I have asked opinions among my peers and red color was selected as the best one.

Moreover, I chose earthy tones like reds, golds, and deep blues to reflect their connection to the land and the rivers that shaped their society. Ornate jewelry, often made of gold and lapis lazuli, hints at their former wealth and influence, even as their society has become more insular and withdrawn. Their fashion blends the ancient with the mystical, suggesting a people deeply involved in astrology, magic, and the mysteries of their past.

In summary, the people of Kengir represent the fusion of ancient Mesopotamian grandeur and mystical elements. Their clothing, architecture, and cultural symbols all reflect a civilization that was once powerful but has now become a shadow of its former self. By incorporating Mesopotamian aesthetics into their design, I was able to create a group that feels both historically grounded and fantastically intriguing, bringing the depth of their lost civilization to life.

Perpetually fascinated by these Shankhas — conch shells of ritual and religious importance in Hinduism — that were intricately hand carved in Tibet. In Buddhism, the conch shell has been incorporated as one of the eight auspicious symbols, also called Ashtamangala. Each Shankha has fantastically detailed art depicting either Citipati, Kali, Ganesh, White Tara, or the Birth of Buddha.

There are many kinds of smile such as sarcastic, artificial or diplomatic smiles. Many smiles produce no feeling of satisfaction, and sometimes they can even create suspicion or fear, can't they? But a genuine smile really gives us a feeling of freshness and is unique to human beings. ~ H.H. The Dalai Lama Art: Thanka painting of the compassionate and smiling Mother of all Buddhas White Tara.

According to Vajrayana Buddhism Tara is completely enlightened Buddha who made a promise in the distant past that after reaching complete enlightenment she would always appear in the form of a female for the benefit of all beings. White Tara’s special function is to promote long life both for practitioner and for the others. Her practice means for attaining realization and accomplishing liberation.

White Tara is usually portrayed seated, dressed and crowned like Bodhisattvas. And sometimes she is regarded as Saptalochana or Seven eyes Tara. Extra Eyes on forehead, palm and feet and lotus flower at the one of her shoulder. She is related in Vajra posture, white in color and peaceable manifestation.
