here's 18-19 year old aang sketches. been hearing aang is ugly discourse—no he ain't. he was just 12.

#i really wanted to take part in zukaang bingo but the urge to art struck me a little later #i still might make something else later #enough art for now #i'd try to participate in maiko week but i'm not sure #it's smack in the middle of end semester exams #ink blot #avatar fanart #avatar the last airbender #atla #artists on tumblr #fanart #avatar aang #why did i never use the pencil brush before?!?! i seriously have a personality flaw where i just don't explore stuff.#can you believe i've been using the same fucking brush for lineart ever since i started digital art?#anyways! i don't know how the pencil brush would feel like if i go for colours but this is impeccable.#I have more control over stuff and i love the result #so #i have promised myself i'd be fucking off this hellsite because i have a huge backlog of work that needs to be done #and i'm presently suffering from “can't help but art”. so #yeah. y'all would probably see me around maiko week. byeee!#if i deprive myself of drawing for too long it bursts out of me like this where i do nothing but draw #not healthy at all

The embodiment of hope is a 12 year old kid

#Atla motivate me to draw again so here more aang <33 #I like to imagine him being free and happy in the air.. Part of it cuz that's his element.. Part of it just feels so right #Sometimes I think about that post which talk about him being a symbol of freedom and joy in a world that hasn't see it for a century #And he's just a kid....... Hope joy and freedom live in a body of a kid.....#firevenus art #atla fanart #fanart #avatar the last airbender #atla #aang #avatar aang

guys i gotta be honest whenever people call the live action avatar “darker “more serious” and “less childish” then the original show i just think of this meme

#natla #netflix avatar the last Airbender #probably gonna be my most critical natla post lmao #before i continue i don’t hate the show i give it like a solid 6/10 #there’s actually a lot of stuff they changed/added that i like like IROH AND ZUKO OH BOY #especially iroh it’s so good #but is it controversial if i say i don’t think this show is all dark and super duper mature?#obviously on a surface level it is with the violence and such #certain parts got to me #but beyond that I don’t think it is?#the show is very tell don’t show and it kinda treats its audience like we need to be spoon fed?#idk…. imo maturity is a lot more then violence it’s how you treat your audience and how you approach certain subject matters #and I feel like in that department the show kinda flopped #plus with how they handle certain characters (katara…)#THATS ALL IDK MAN ITS JUST MY OPINION #natla spoilers

Listen, I haven't read any of the atla books or comics so I'm making no claim as to knowing what happens in those, but these tags from @bloody-wonder got me thinking about azula redemption and her mommy issues and more importantly her daddy issues. Because wouldn't it be much more interesting to see azula finally come to a reckoning with her dad being an abusive piece of shit? Wouldn't that help her make longer strides towards a true redemption? Are we seriously still going with the idea that Ursa is the only reason or even the majority reason that azula is The Way She Is?

Like. Of course Azula needed to deal with her mommy issues, of course they needed to address those in the comics, but I'm of the opinion that those are much easier addressed than the issues her father would have given her. And maybe the comics do address those issues, again, I make no claim to know what's happened in any of those lmao but Azula realizing her dad is an abusive piece of shit and unlearning all the harmful stuff he taught her has to be a more compelling storyline (and much better redemption storyline at that) than her dealing with tepid mommy issues over and over

#like idk I feel like part of azula dealing with her mommy issues would have to involve realizing ozai is a pos #and maybe they've already addressed all this #AGAIN I haven't read any of this shit I just like having opinions lmfao #but am I onto something here?? lol #azula #ozai #ursa #atla #avatar the last airbender

the difference between The Painted Lady and Sokka’s Master—what makes one so much more iconic than the other—is that The Painted Lady may as well be Imprisoned (season one), just done-up in Fire Nation attire. we learn nothing new about katara in that ep that we didn’t know from season one. and The Desert in season two CEMENTED katara as the heart of the group in a way that wasn’t even necessary to try to do again in season three.

Sokka’s Master, on the other hand, gives us a whole new look at sokka. Imprisoned and The Warriors of Kyoshi (in season one) are katara and sokka eps respectively, meant to give us a look into their characters and acquaint ourselves with them. season two is incredible because it assumes we already know the characters, and it lets us sit in them and enjoy the ride for amazing arcs through Story, above all else. but early season three brings back the Character episodes. the Headband, Painted Lady, Sokka’s Master, the Runaway (and as a bonus, unlike season one, we also get The Beach for the FN team). each main character gets their own re-establishing ep. great, cool, whatever—what about Sokka’s Master tho?

shhh patience lol i’m getting there. Painted Lady shows that katara is the same, she still cares about the lil guy(s), despite all else, just like she did in Imprisoned. she can’t leave desperate people behind.

but in The Warriors of Kyoshi, sokka thought he was the Shit, and had to have it proved to him that that wasn’t the case (god bless u suki). in Sokka’s Master, however, it’s the exact opposite. his arc at that point brought him to having nearly no faith in himself. Warriors of Kyoshi was about bringing sokka down to earth (being A MAN💪🏽 isn’t the end all be all), and Sokka’s Master is about bringing him back up (what does it mean to be a man? 🌈). it’s obviously a huge shame that the invasion ended up sitting him right back down again in his insecurities. but i imagine if Sokka’s Master had never happened, he wouldn’t have been able to bounce back post-Boiling-Rock, regardless of whether or not he’d successfully broken his dad (and suki) out. he needed the foundation of self-confidence to beat away the doubts later.

anyways, point is.. at least personally the Painted Lady ep has never stuck out to me as special, whereas Sokka’s Master is one of my fave eps of the show. and that’s not because i have it out for katara or anything and held sokka in especially high regard (Sokka’s Master is largely WHY i now hold sokka in high regard—but The Desert ep put katara in just as high a regard in my book, along w probs a dozen other eps that showcase her unique character). Sokka’s Master stands out because it shows us a new part of sokka, but the Painted Lady doesn’t show us anything new about katara. in a show that’s ultimately rather short, episodes that seem like clones the way Painted Lady & Imprisoned do end up feeling lackluster. idk. this isn’t to say i dislike the Painted Lady, i just wanted to get my thoughts out

#atla #katara #sokka #i really wanna stress that this isn’t katara hate #cuz i know a lot of ppl hate katara i guess #i absolutely adore her she’s amazing #but the painted lady feels like a Slog on rewatched #*rewatches #it’s just my—#thoughts #avatar the last airbender #atla meta #avatar meta #have i mentioned how much i LOVE the desert ep? i definitely have but holy shit #what a way to bring back heart and soul katara #literally everyone’s strengths are lost INCLUDING KATARAS WATERBENDING #but her waterbending has never been the most important part of her character #it’s her drive and her passion and her inherent ability to love and empathize #and that’s why she’s the one to pull everyone together and get them Out #ugh #such a good fuxking ep jesus christ #ugh i’m drunk #who woulda guessed #not like that’s all the time or anything pffff #any other zukka alcoholics out there ? ahhhahaha slap me and shut me up i swear

I lost all hope or trust for the 2024 live action ATLA when I heard talk of things happening in like episode 2 that originally took place in like ep 5 of the og show.

Any and all plot and character changes aside. The og atla, although having the old 20 ep season standard, is a decently fast-paced show. They literally go from the south poll to the North poll + detours in those 20 episodes.

I can't find it in me to believe that anyone could do any sort of justice to a story previously comprised of 20 distinct episodes in only 8 episodes.

I don't care that those episodes are, for some reason, the length of an overachieving short film (52mins)

I lose faith in something as soon as you start compressing storylines just for the sake of compressing things.

#i havent watched the life actions atla except for reviews and breakdowns #both positive and negative #no part of me ever been excited for a live actions ATLA #and despite the fact that the bar was in hell #i still manageable to be tepidly disappointed #i really i wish people would stop trying to live action things that were never meant to be live actioned #just like...#give animation the respect it deserves #and make new stories that have elements that would only shine in live action #instead of bastardizing classics in the name of live action #im sure the actors did a fine job of acting #but everything clip i see of the live action GangTM feels like the showrunner sold the soul of the show for some hyperrealistic cgi bending #Dallas Liu is doing a bang up job as zuko though #hats off to him #rant over i guess #atla #avatar the last airbender #avatar #atla netflix #netflix atla

I spent like a half hour arguing with a coworker that Azula deserved a redemption like Zuko and that she's just as much a victim of abuse as her brother AND that Ursa wasn't that great of a mom to either but ESPECIALLY to Azula AND that Azula wasn't given the same opportunities or teaching Zuko was while they were growing up!!!! She literally couldn't have turned out any other way!!!

The convo half went:

"she's evil and crazy"

"she's 14"

-

"she made her own mother scared of her and want nothing to do with her, what's that say about her"

"she's a shitty mom"

-

"she's crazy!!! she's just as bad as their father!"

"the literal only positive attention she was ever given was from ozai, while ursa ignored her or yelled at her for doing bad but never explaining why or teaching compassion like she did with zuko."

#atla #avatar the last airbender #azula #azula deserved better #listen im not DEFENDING her actions but she didn't have any opportunity to be different #BOTH ZUKO AND AZULA HAVE BOTH SOZIN AND ROKU!!! WHY DOES THAT ONLY APPLY TO ZUKO???#zuko only learned compassion bc his mom taught him and helped him be better when he was bad #azula was just like yelled at and given no actual mothering from her mother #so ofc she'd do and adapt what her father says to have positive attention when the only attention her mother gives is when she acts out #also they were both abused #the golden child and scapegoat dynamic that ozai did to make them into competition to each other #and!!!! azula legitimately did try to help zuko when he came back in her own way #i have a lot of azula feelings i wish the show could have done a book 4 and had her growth there #(ive never read the comics and i dont really plan to tbh just to be clear i dont include those as part of the show)

A scene I've already written but hadn't drawn til now! I love how this turned out, and getting to draw Rokei with her hair down and wearing something more casual than armor was really fun

(Additionally here's the scene in the fic)

(Please do not repost without permission. Reblogs are appreciated)

#atla #avatar the last airbender #my art #rokei #atla oc #born of the sun #shes just so cute!#i also used my own hand as reference #which tbh i like getting to use my own reference photos i feel silly but they always help me the most #anyway lighting hard but i think it worked out pretty well #favorite part about this is that with every piece i learn something new or gain a better understanding

im gonna say it. the atla netflix series is fairly decent and i'm enjoying it so far. went in with little expectation and came out with a fun time!!

#i'd say the lowest part is the acting #but a lot of these actors are new or just inexperienced and thats okay #i feel like i could write a whole essay on why change is good for adaptation #especially from something with bad pacing like the original atla s1 #avatar the last airbender

Ursa: What?

Azula: Why can't you say I look nice?

Ursa: I thought you didn't even care what I think.

Azula: I still want you to think I look good.

Ursa: I'm sorry, I was telling you the truth. Do you want me to lie?

Azula: No, I just wish ..... I wish that you liked me.

Ursa: Of course I love you.

Azula: But do you like me?

Ursa: .....I want you to be the very best version of yourself you can be

Azula: What if this is the best version?

I feel like when it comes to discussing the relationship between Ursa and Azula, the talk is always about whether or not Ursa loved Azula or not. But in my opinion, that goes without question.

Ursa DID love Azula. But did she like her?

#atla #avatar the last airbender #azula #ursa #beifong thoughts #i feel like this part of the script from ladybird perfectly shows my thoughts on their relationship #but the context would be different #incorrect quotes #ladybird

Do you want Azula to have a similar arc like chozen? She’s all healed and redeemed, she teaches troubled kids about fire bending, and she has a blacksmith wife. Do you want her to stay make fun of zuko and be a good auntie?

I think the best healing arc for Azula honestly is settling somewhere away from the royals and the palace etc. My ideal arc for her would be her setting up shop somewhere remote, learning a skill slowly but surely (one she isn’t initially skilled at but learns over time…during which she also learns that she doesn’t have to be a prodigy to be worth something). Possibly teamaking, but blacksmith could work too!

#avatar the last airbender #atla #azula #i’m not a fan of the headcanons that have her as part of the royal family sorry #personal preference and all that #i just feel like her staying in a place where she was traumatized and also hurt the people around her…that wouldn’t help her recovery #not as much as her going her own way and making her own happy and peaceful life on her own

Coming out as an Embers disliker

#atla #avatar the last airbender #embers atla #a good month wasted on my part #at the middle I felt it go kinda downhill #Zuko goes through this whole transformation and SOKKA KILLS OZAI????#The pacing was off for me and the fights against someone who was supposed to be the big bad felt oddly short #like good for iroh and #whatever her name was but kids? really? any normal person would’ve died at your age but good for y’all #I’M NOT OVER SOKKA DEALING THE FINAL BLOW!!!! BOOMERANG OF ALL THIGNS #sick.#I still enjoyed Embers and everything the fic introduced into the fandom but it gave me such an empty feeling when finishing it #Like. we never get to see what happens next. just a note about iron’s kids and possible extra content.#it just felt so rushed #all in all dragon wings for a name is kinda goofy

aang saying "i cant be the avatar with you around" to katara after natla has failed to establish a truly strong connection between the gaang is so... sigh

#i keep using the word hollow... this show just feels so hollow #there are parts that really feel like it was made with love #but for the most part it just feels like it was made for money #netflix avatar the last airbender #liveposting
