I don't get why some people hate on aang. He was 12 and doing the best he could. Some people barely had readable handwriting when they were 12. Is there an Aang week, like the Fandom does for ships but just for aang?

If Azula grew as person without going through anything as extremely heart wrenching as losing a son as Iroh did, would that prove that deep down Azula was always a better person than Iroh? A person who just needed her goodness to be nurtured.

This question is strange to me. "without going through anything as extremely heart wrenching as losing a son as Iroh did" hasn't she already? Several times? I'm so sorry, but losing one's mother, watching one's brother be mutilated, and being wrongfully institutionalized and abused is more than comparable to Iroh losing a son in the siege that he waged. I'll still answer it with two responses.

A) Whether or not trauma serves as a catalyst for change doesn't make someone less of a better person.

B) Morality is very hard to quantify. I'll say Azula would be the better person simply because she doesn't exhibit the misogyny that Iroh does, but given her background, I'm almost certain that she would if she were a boy. So, there's that.

I feel like media got so much worse once i started just like. Taking a mental note of how many stories are about a dude’s dead wife and/or daughter, and said death motivating him to go do whatever the plot needs him to do

Taking Commissions!

Welp, it looks like I'll need some funds for bills and holiday stuff that my regular work check won't cover since I'm using that for my usual bills and groceries so I'm reminding folks that commissions are open! $40 for an avatar sized piece with simple color or a black and white bust of a figure.

$80-$100 for a full body figure in color, depending on level of detail of design requested.

$120 for full illustrations or landscapes.

Send me an ask on here or an email at ameliablank1@gmail.com if you're interested! Also if you'd just like to make a donation, it'd be appreciated. My paypal email is also ameliablank1@gmail.com. Thank you so much!

For atla/arcane lol fans

Some Azula and Lux similarities

Younger siblings

Royalty/nobility status

Militaristic families

Insane amount of raw power (having blue fire and lightning/ being able to summon Galio)

Defeated a spirit/demon once (Azula and the spirit in the temple/ Lux expelling Nocturne in Fossbarrow)

Almost got into an arranged marriage (scrapped idea for Azula/ Lux's betrothal to Jarvan)

Currently running away or in exile (Azula after the events of Smoke and Shadows/ Lux after the mage rebellion)

In love with a girl associated with the color blue (Katara and Jinx obviously 😌)

Beauty and The Beast - Tyzula AU Los espiritus condenan a una princesa despota a una maldición... Sólo quería hacer un dibujo caracterizando La Bella y la Bestia con Tyzula, pero hice más de la cuenta y no creo trabajar más en los bocetos pero igual los agrego.

Pese que seguramente Azula admiré los dragones, tener la apriencia de uno es muy diferente cuando antes fue una humana que probablemente se jactaba de su belleza. Quería adaptar el cuento en el mundo de la serie, con su cultura occidental y si es posible retratar la personalidad de los personajes.

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom

Oi read this!

You guys clocked the warning by AO3 to reduce interlinks of accounts?

Especially for queer users in the US right now?

(written below for people who struggle to read text in images).

"Be mindful when sharing personal information, including but not limited your name, email, age, location, personal relationships, gender or sexual identity, racial, or ethnic background religious, or political views and or account usernames on other sites"

Then the normal "By checking this box you consent to the processing of your personal data in the the United States"

Mind you, these are the people who say that zutara is a “female gaze”

Zuko : I don't know how to tell you this, but... I love you.  Mai : That's great, Zuko . Especially considering the fact we've been married for 6 fucking years.

Find It in a latino american facebook page (you can Say the name in the center of the image).

All my fantasies about a more complex lore for AtlA and a presence of other asian civilizations as persians, arabians, hindis, turkics and mongolians started with the Wan Shi Tong's library. Cause the architecture was totally different by the others, cause It's inspired by Taj Mahal. But the Tan Mahal has some elements that has roots in persian architecture, and this took inspirations by other architectures like arabian one, and greek too.

And the same greeks left some elements in asian history, especially in India, Persia and Turkic countries. And the same Sand Folks hadnsome inspirations by arabians, amazighs and from Star Wars too. And sadly, the first two were a bit stereotypicals.

I'm not angry about it, cause I don't think that writers did that with bad reasons. But It could be a moment to make more great and culturally rich that universe, with more asian elements over the stereotypical Buddhism (Who is generally confused with Jainism, especially about the "Discovery of their True Self", when Buddhism believed that the Self is an illusion, or more precisely is Void and without purpose, and this is One of Buddhist Dogmas, the Anatman).

Sadly, this didn't happen. And I think that It could be more interesting for that world, especially for a comic series about "Book 4" and for the sequel LoK, that I don't like (Well, It would Need other modifications, lime a more 1800's set in and technology, similar to First Years of Meiji Age in Japan, between the First Industrial Revolution and the Second One, the crossline among Coal Energy and Oil Energy).

But the fandom of this series could do the same thing done by italian first fandom of Pinocchio, Who convince the author, Carlo Collodi, to modify and continuing the novel (cause the real and first ending of Pinocchio's story was that Cat and Fox killed him), and we could have a more Cultural Activity, not with fanfictions only, but with new stories and influences.

Yes, with an author like Di Martino is clearly impossible, but Who knows?

Zuko spends three years trying to "fix" his relationship with Ozai and three months trying to "fix" his relationship with Iroh, but zero minutes trying to "fix" his relationship with Azula.

Well, of course, but people keep imagining that he's super interested in having a better relationship with her and he's not, at all.
