Would Sokka, Suki and Zuko form a band? And would they call it boiling rock (but Zuko still gets on stage with like... a grand piano or a violin or smth to make it more emo) ?

zuko plays the tsungi horn, sokka plays …

this thing . and suki probably plays the pipa.

sokka writes the lyrics (they just flow out of him, he has a gift!), zuko edits the lyrics to be more poetical by employing more allusions and using more symbolic language, and suki sings (she’s the only one who can sing while she plays, but also, i genuinely doubt zuko or sokka would have nice singing voices anyway).

the idea of them calling their band the boiling rock is so funny it’s like the ultimate fuck you.

and most importantly, iroh gets to see his dream of zuko playing the tsungi horn during music night finally realized.

#id in alt text #aclusterfuckofglitterbugs #asks #zuko #sokka #suki #iroh #thinking abt that scene in chapters 78-79 of the stone where baoyu’s elegy just flows out of him #and then daiyu is like ‘ok that was good but you should change this to this and do this and this and this instead’ #that’s sokka and zuko writing lyrics for their stupid little band #also of course suki has her own band back on kyoshi island #this is just a side gig for her #when suki isn’t there to sing for them aang plays the pipa and katara sings #i think she has a lovely voice #but toph doesn’t participate at all bc she’s like ‘that’s gay nerd shit for nerds’ #(she’s still scarred by the music lessons that were forced on her by her parents and she never wants to touch another instrument ever again

#she keeps getting sharper i’m slowly turning her into (ghost trick guy) . help #elegy is made of playdoh and avie is a wooden doll with limbs that dangle that you can shake around #also she’s being spied on by another god named suzy now. who’s there to report back to the god of fury on her progress but is also just in #it for a laugh. because she and avie are kiiiinda friends?? loosely? #eve2 #aveline eulogia #elegy eventide #shout out to rosemary the cat . sorry for drawing you. like that #anyway all i can draw anymore are doodles in my econ class that i hate

hello upper middle class northern usamerican tumblr user. i want to play a game. you will notice that you are in a super america convenience store in rural kentucky - you have three minutes to purchase a snack and drink of your choice and make normal small talk with the cashier. however, if you use the word "cryptid" or generally make reference to appalachia and its inhabitants as "wild", uncivilized, or lacking restraint around alcoholic beverages during your time here, i will personally tie you to the chassis of a four wheeler and tip it into the river. live or die. make your choice

#speak friend and enter #i can appreciate mothman as much as the next guy but can we stop treating appalachia like it's the subject of a richard attenborough doc #i come from a long line of hillbillies and i like to think i've got a good sense of humor about it but sometimes i am tested #like. this is not a lawless land with a moonshine still in every holler and nameless voices in the woods!! this is a normal town!! #idk maybe i'm reading too much into it but i'm just tired of the cultural fetishization of appalachia by people who aren't from here #and who don't know anything about it. like yeah you know mothman and what hooch is and that's all well and good #but do you know what the opioid epidemic really is. do you know about the structural injustices that keep people like mcconnell in power #i'm not saying you have to apply dialectical political analysis to every issue that occurs in the region to be able to have an opinion #but also like. i'm tired of people looking at places like where i grew up and making them into things they aren't #like. on the one hand we have ''ooh spooky hills!! run if you hear the trees whisper your name'' #and on the other we've got ''isn't appalachia so depressing...so hashtag ethel cain core...shame it's got no value beyond aesthetics'' #and on yet another hand we have ''i - a person with no ties to the region - am going to take up the cause of every social issue #occurring across the entire appalachian region so the world will see just how bad these poor hill people have it. i am very smart'' #and like. it's frustrating #i'm not saying you should never speak about appalachia if something we have is interesting to you #nor am i implying that i want to gatekeep discussion of the region's issues to the community bc that won't accomplish anything #i'm just saying that like any place it's complex. it's got its good things and it's got its bad things. #and you shouldn't isolate the good from the bad or vice versa - especially if you don't know the context in which those things happen. #and for the love of god dont let your own ignorance cause you to boil down those issues into a reductive and inaccurate set of stereotypes #learn about us from us. not from tiktok not from movies and for christ's sake not from hillbilly elegy. i hate that fucking book #anyway that got weirdly serious but i mean it. putting appalachia as a talking point up on the shelf until y'all can speak intelligently #ok to rb

ok well u cant say something like that and not give us ur recommendations or ur fave horror novels 👀

🫡 i haven't been able to read much recently so sadly some of these might be old news BUT the book i mentioned in the tags was to be devoured by sara tantlinger!!! very fun very gross book that is still written beautifully despite the content.. I can't find a list of warnings for it so be cautious going in but it's gory + involves some animal harm/death from what i can remember

another book that i need to go back and read more of is our wives under the sea! i haven't gotten super far into it yet but it was also quite unsettling and eerie from what i read. there's some body horror, but it wasn't the most gory thing from what i've read so far.

sadly despite it being my fav genre (for both books and movies) horror books often... disappoint me a lot of the time? they get hyped up but fall short for me. i read them so much because i'm trying to find The Book that really gets me. i have most certainly read more books that i do Not like as opposed to what i've rated highly HAHA. i've read quite a few extreme horror novels that are just like... whatever? thinking of one very specific one when i say that but it's a tiktok beloved sweetheart so i shan't say it. sorry i don't have more books to recommend but it's just like.. man.

some books i'm looking forward to on my tbr (not all are gory afaik but who knows maybe we'll both be surprised. idk if you're even looking for gory books but since that was the context of that last ask i'm just assuming) are: my heart is a chainsaw by stephen graham jones, our love will devour us by r.l. meza, and transmuted by eve harms!

as always if there's specific themes common in horror that bother you, you should look up triggers before reading these!

#elegy book club when? #ty for asking btw i love rambling. if you want more books from my tbr feel free to send in another ask (or message me!) #asks #anonymous

wild how in my dreams my idea of being loved isn't being kissed or being held or being given things but being understood.

Jericho Brown - Another Elegy ["This is what our dying looks like"]

This is what our dying looks like. You believe in the sun. I believe I can't love you. Always be closing, Said our favorite professor before He let the gun go off in his mouth. I turned 29 the way any man turns In his sleep, unaware of the earth Moving beneath him, its plates in Their places, a dated disagreement. Let's fight it out, baby. You have Only so long left—a man turning In his sleep—so I take a picture. I won't look at it, of course. It's His bad side, his Mr. Hyde, the hole In a husband's head, the O Of his wife's mouth. Every night, I take a pill. Miss one, and I'm gone. Miss two, and we're through. Hotels Bore me, unless I get a mountain view, A room in which my cell won't work, And there's nothing to do but see The sun go down into the ground That cradles us as any coffin can.

I just found a note that I stuck to my mirror at like 13 with my cello goals. It's a list of my 4 favorite cello pieces and in how many years I wanted to play them. I- I'm playing them rn. or I already have 🥺🥺 I'm going to cry I feel so proud and my motivation to play is back

#they were faure's elegie; popper's tarantelle and the concertos by saint-saens and elgar #it's been a long way holy shit #i should make another one with the pieces i want to play now to manifest #starting with debussy's cello sonata i've been obsessed with it for years #val's nonsense

I'm not saying I'm easy to summon, I'm just saying I see a tease and I'm like hi yes tell me everything pls.

Was it a nice nest while they had it at least? Did they have it for a bit before it burned?

(also circus tease ooo)

-🎀

i do want you to be easy to summon. please be easy to summon <3

yes, it was the nicest nest! it was high up, surrounded by a meadow and a stream filtering into a lake, a forest stretching around it all, eventually merging into a jungle biome in a not too far distance. of course it was all still makeshift, but it was theirs.

they were there for a while, everything quiet and serene, lulling them into false sense of security. for a while, it genuinely seemed like it could all be over, like they could finally breathe. like they could really stay and settle and be okay. like it's alright to just be.

and maybe for the first time in a long while, they felt like they could stretch their wings.

maybe they ran around and giggled. maybe they made fires and cooked warm meals. maybe they toiled soil and planted seeds, readying for a future.

maybe they ventured into the nearby jungle, and found a birb friend, an incredible rarity and a proof of life, of something winged surviving and maybe even thriving here.

maybe one day, scar woke up to grian gliding freely through the sky, wings catching the marvellous glow of a sunrise.

maybe there was sheepish, much-needed preening, and cuddles, and kiss-pressed laughter. reasurrances and teases and everything else that goes along with it.

maybe scar stood at the edge of a little cliff, safe over water, spreading his tattered wings as grian stood by his side, eager to experiment, to see if he can still glide.

maybe they had some breakdowns and tears, inevitably curling against each other, breaths heaving and sobs hitching, but ultimately they were safe through all that hurt, tucked into each other's hold.

and maybe there was confusion and confessions (ahem mimic arc), and much needed late-night talks, and sun-naps, and little joys taken whenever they presented themselves.

maybe there were actually so many steps towards healing.

—and everything got taken away in an instant.

#ange answers #ribbon anon #hhau #i was gonna use this space to give maybe another elegy snippet #but this kind of went on #and now i feel like it'd be encroaching kjxnbc #feel free to ask for it if you want it though #anyway yeah yes this whole nest bit is so precious #and ultimately horribly tragic #at this point they've been in this world for almost a year #it's late summer #this precedes the rescue arc #but the inbetween is so dreadful and horrible #absolutely awful #<3

[relto]

it bugs me when people go "[bow user] can carry elegy" yeah but can they trigger the passive? somewhat reliably? come on

#tütensuppe #i actually have 3 elegy bows bc i keep losing the weapon lottery but rn im only using one of them on fischl #she triggers the passive literally every time the cooldown is over so id expect something similar from another elegy user
