Selkie monster is based in part on the Inuit goddess Sedna. Used fan coral as a texture in the hair and as a prop for her to hold c:

Me: I wrote ASOIAF/Game of Thrones fic as an outlet for my Northerness

Me, some time later: I need an outlet for my Northerness

Me: ned stark

My selection of WIPS and original works: do we mean NOTHING to you

I've been listening to Melvyn Bragg's radio4 programme "Matters of the North" and really loving the stuff which comes out of the North, including but not limited to:

Football (seriously)

Cotton (so much cotton)

Social reform

Coal

Competitive Brass Bands

Art

Poetry

Trains

Railways

Looms and spinning wheels

Pit lamps

Worker's rights

Sean Bean, Judi Dench, the Beatles -

From the rich, slavery

From the poor, anti slavery, abolitionist, and other equality movements

The Brontes

The London 2012 Opening Ceremony

Wallace and Gromit

Huge senses of community, solidarity as families, towns, regions, counties, and identity as "Northerners"

Strikes, workers unions, the sense of a working class of different parts of the old class systems being united against Big Company and the Government etc

Sokka may not be a misogynist, but the Netflix live action ATLA is:

There really is no cartoon/anime for female empowerment like the OG ATLA and LOK cartoons.

The creators of ATLA wrote the manifesto on how to create a masterful series on female empowerment and equality that is not cheesy or hocky.

In this show, women and girls are not a monolith but immensely diverse. There's no correct way to be a powerful, talented and bold woman or girl within the avatar universe.

You can be hyper-feminine like Ty Lee and Asami.

You can embody more traditionally masculine qualities like Korra and Toph.

Or you could just be a typical woman or girl falling more in between like Azula, Mai, or Suki.

You see the exact same thing for the male characters. There's no right way to be a man. There's many ways to be a man, and this idea flies in the face of patriarchy.

I say that the Netflix version is misogynist, because it's not enough to be a powerful woman. One must be allowed to be unapologetically, unabashedly and boldy powerful.

Which is what happens in the OG ATLA. Sokka's misogyny was actually a part of his character arc, because every time he was misogynist his misogyny was met with the answer that women and girls are phenomenal, that women and girls are living their lives and largely unconcerned with the opinions of men.

If you read the Kiyoshi novels, you learn that surprisingly enough, the least patriarchal amd misogynist nation in all of Avatar is the fire nation, and the misogynistic nation in all of Avatar is the northern water tribe.

The reason I say that the women in these shows are unabashedly powerful is because aside from Sokka and the master from the Northern Water tribe, no one ever questions why or how they are powerful. They expect it.

Zuko is Ozai's first born son, yet Azula is his pride. When Ozai imagines the future, he imagines it with Azula as the fire lord. He names her after his father. He trusts her to go find the avatar once he knows the avatar has returned.

Sokka and Katara effectively lost both of their parents, but Katara the youngest steps up as the mother and becomes the glue of the group. She's the one who becomes both an immensely powerful bender and healer.

Suki loves Sokka, but when we are introduced to her. She is unconcerned with him. Her and the other Kiyoshi warriors are the protectors of the village who go out into the world to do good into the world.

We see the revseral of all of these tenants in the Netflix show.

Ozai has hope for Zuko at the expense of Azula who he sees as a nuisance. She is no longer am obvious prodigy.

Katara is seen as a child who will not grow up by her brother who is now behaving as a father figure.

Suki is infatuated with Sokka and she follows him around Kiyoshi island when he arrives.

These woman are powerful but restrained and undermined in this power. Suki becomes concerned with the opinions of a man, and a random man at that.

What the OG ATLA taught to all women, girls, boys and men is that you never have to apologize for being powerful, intelligent, kind empathetic.

This is a very critical point that cuts to the heart of the OG ATLA that Netflix has missed.

Watercolour sketch dump of some of the main characters from The first girl child I did while reading it. Ghost and Bayr are probably my favourites. It was so good I have already started the sequel.

eldritch horror light™ ghost king danny design idea.

saw a post about how ghost king danny should have a crown made of the norther lights. and they are completely right and they should say it. auroras look like flames sorta so it fits with the crown of fire from the show, and auroras fit into both dannys ice powers (cause yah know auroras happen most often at/near the north/south poles) and dannys love of space (you can see some constilations all year round in the arctic) and the newer trope of danny being like an eldritch horror when summoned is pretty cool (i still like the "someone summons the ghost king and gets normal human danny fenton" trope more but eldritch horror is a fun contrast) 

#im not great with horror so i made it light #the hairs supposed to be like an icy mist #not sure if does but i like it so what ever #ghost king danny #eldritch danny #Danny Phantom #dp #dp fanart #tk art #norther lights #aurora borealis
