I just realized the Avatar temples not only should have glowed in the first episode, but also should have been glowing for a hundred years

Mai: When you said you wanted to be a spiritual healer, I didn’t think you meant giving unsolicited therapy to centuries old, other-worldly creatures.

(Also, sorry if you blocked out the part of The Search comics where they gave Koh mummy issues, but they did. It wasn’t a bad dream, it really happened.)

Keep reading

So I snagged a copy of Azula in the Spirit Temple today and I liked it overall at least on a first read-through. I don't really wanna do a deep dive on it rn, but it seemed to stay true to Azula's character and also I really liked how the art absolutely portrays her as looking like a kid

I'll read the novels eventually, got those today as well, but my total haul was 11 books in total and I have other stuff I wanna read first lmao

I don't see people talk nearly enough about what having your bending taken from you must entail.

Your bending is not just a weapon: it's the tangible manifestation of your energy, it's a big part of how you interact with the world and a vital, organic function of your body.

And I'm sure this was especially true for Ozai, if Iroh's description of his aptitude towards firebending from the cradle in Legacy of the Fire Nation is anything to go by.

I can't help but think about how losing it must've affected the rest of his bodily functions.

Ozai struggling to regulate his body temperature in his cold, humid cell, hugging his own shivering body tight enough to leave fingers imprints on his arms and still not finding any comfort because the cold is coming from within.

Ozai suddenly finding himself breathless after the mildest physical effort because a lot of his breath regulation was based around fire control as well, and his lungs still try to steal more oxygen than he now has need for.

Ozai losing sensitivity in his limbs some days, and being so overly sensitive his rough clothes feel like sandpaper on his skin some others, because his nerves' endings are raw and burned with the trauma of deprivation.

Ozai's body being incapable of holding onto much food because his whole metabolism was partially relying on the fire inside him.

Ozai's mind floating aimlessly every so often, unable to focus with the decreased temperature of his brain, unable to keep track of time and faces and to discern the muddy blur of his emotions, if he's still able to feel any at all.

Ozai slowly flickering and fading away like a flame trapped under a glass, with no oxygen and nothing to hold onto.

Maybe if he was a little less fuckable we wouldn’t be in this mess

No no you're right. Zhao's an awful human being in canon. Would still be ugly if he shaved.

you put this thought in my head, and now all of you get to see it! say thank you anon!!!

on a serious note… I don't think it's the end of the world…

This piece for the @zhaozaipalooza prompt 'Loss' got a little out of hand but in the best way possible, I was originally only going to submit a sketch and then I just. Kept going. I'm super proud of the glow, although it's probably a little off I don't care enough. Look at the way it helps define his hair!

Fun fact, even though the color values definitely don't look like it or would be color picked as such, I used basically one orange hue for this entire piece. The reason the fire looks yellow is because I added a glow around it too.

Hope y'all enjoy this piece!

#your art reminder that hue is what you think of when you think of separate colors #like red and blue are hues #saturation is how much of that hue there is #and then value is what you gt with a grayscale filter

[atla-sinful-shit]

Y'all are in for an angsty treat when I finally finish

[atla-sinful-shit]

I am planning on doing today's @zhaozaipalooza prompt later, but I finally got around to putting together a layered armor look in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak that fits the bonus one really well. My excuse is that I modeled and named this character after Ozai.

Bonus jiggle physics under the cut!

#snails count as fish right #i mean in the game you find the Monksnail in the ocean #that's the name of this hat btw #the monksnail hat #i adore it to pieces

[atla-sinful-shit]

haha…unless…

This was really just an excuse to draw these two with a different look.

After this post, some drawings were inevitable, though they didn't quite turn out as well as intended and as such, will remain coloured sketches.

And yes, he'd 110% be realigning his bow upright and/or stop running 0.02 seconds after these freezeframes.

#don't mind me reblogging some old pieces that i love

[atla-sinful-shit]

[atla-sinful-shit]
