your last tlok post has me obsessed, any ttpd and rangshi headcanons??

OMG YES

After I made the LoK post I began to spiral down the rangshi tunnel and here is what I got

Florida!!! Describes the time when Kyoshi and Rangi first started to fall in love. Kyoshi became obsessed with the freedom she got with the flying Opera Company. That taste of her power and what she could be was a drug to her. Throw in those moments with Rangi and my girl reminisces about the early days of her "team avatar" adventures. I think it also fits well because she was also very broken at this time, the trauma that was father gloworm and Jianzhu's betrayal is what drove her to this sort of in-between peace.

Fortnight: Rangi core. This is the song that plays every time she has a little moment with Kyoshi. I see this paired with Down Bad and it shows the sort of fluffier side of things before shit goes down when she is PINING after Kyoshi trying to get her attention. Fortnight could also be the fluffier song when they are down by the lake.

Rangi and "I Can Fix Him, (No Really I Can)" would make for an interesting one shot where maybe she has to get her family on board with their relationship. Kyoshi seems broken and malicious but Rangi testifies to her character and is adamant about making Kyoshi the best avatar she can be.

loml from Kyoshi's POV about Yun : (

I also like the vision of Rangi feeling/singing something adjacent to MBOBHFT, used in a context about how Kyoshi is always injuring herself, and rarely makes a big deal of it. I especially like this idea if you *change* the words a little bit and get "only breaks my favorite toys" instead of "his favorite toys" because that feels so angsty to me. Like Rangi loves Kyoshi so much, and seeing how Kyoshi has little to no disregard for her wellbeing, it breaks Rangi's heart a little bit.

___________________________________________

"Stop worrying," Kyoshi said, recoiling at Rangi's touch.

"I have to worry, Kyoshi. I have to."

"No you don't! I never want you to worry about me." Rangi frowned as she helped her girlfriend lay down, pretending not to notice the wince of pain Kyoshi attempted to subdue.

"You don't get, Kyoshi. If I don't worry, no one will. You may not care but these parts of you that you're willing to let go... I love them. I love all of them. I need you whole. So stop breaking yourself."

Kyoshi looked at her with pensive eyes. She looked like she was going to say something, and Rangi almost wished she wouldn't. Things were getting to cushy already and she didn't like the swirl of uneasiness in her gut. She couldn't push Kyoshi into horse stance to shut things down this time, so she'd have to endure it. Even if it meant she shed a couple tears.

But, as Kyoshi opened her mouth, her thoughtful eyes turned into panicked ones. Rangi simply lifted the bucket next to her and brought it before her girlfriends face as Kyoshi began to return her lunch.

"I'll be better," Kyoshi said, in-between dry-heaves. "Because I don't like this part of being injured."

Rangi smiled a little bit, moving Kyoshi's hair out of the way.

"And I know if it were you... I'd be upset, too. Because I love you. And your... parts are my favorite, too." Kyoshi jumbled.

Rangi appreciated the sentiment by planting a small kiss on Kyoshi's head. She looked down at Kyoshi's bloodied abdomen and the knife that protruded from it.

"I suppose," she began, and Kyoshi looked at her without moving her mouth. "That given the circumstances, I can forgive you. Just this once."

___________________________________________

Now OF course, Who's Afraid of Little old Me? Is so Kyoshi coded. It just FITS so well. I need displays of her power showcased to this song ASAP.

People were so quick to rule her out based on the fact she couldn't bend small things. "Poor fragile Kyoshi has a hard time with bending" then Kyoshi gets her fans and is like watch me bitch. Her showing up to bandit camps, slumlords and all the bad gangs at the time to make a name for herself. The world has been without an avatar, they've forgotten to be afraid of the bigger fish. She here she comes, and when she gets a first taste of that blood she doesn't stop. She makes it VERY clear she is not to be reckoned with. Cue the montage.

Finally, I feel like there is room here for The Prophecy, but I'm not quite sure how or where yet. Another one I have to let sit and marinate before it becomes a full headcannon. Maybe it plays more into the old team avatar (Hei-Rang, Kelsang, Jianzhu) than specifically Rangshi though.

Thank you for the ask and I hope this satisfied your TTPD x Rangshi craving : )

A brawl; Jack Chambers:

*Jack loses his temper, mentions of violence, fighting, aggression and swearing. This is a time rewind to when Jack and Alice were younger and dating. *

Matthew Halley. Six foot three, golden hair in a pompadour, alluring river blue eyes, a quiffed smile that showcased his circle dimples on each cheek and his broad frame that carried muscles in each arm. Despite the larger than life persona, the man was nothing more than a hellion. He picked on people who he thought to be weaker and less powerful than him; snagging men's dates in front of them, taking women as he pleased, getting rough and turbulent with men who challenged him.

Till he met Jack. Jack was a man with a solid compass; standing his ground even in the thick threat of emotion. He knew his right from his left and didn't allow some clambering braggart stand in his path.

It was a murky night, tickled with scintillate twinkles scattered all over the floor of the sky. The young couple walked hand in hand through the assiduous streets of Sacramento. The glossy smell of Alice's perfume tickled Jack's nostrils, dousing himself in the intoxication of euphoria for his leading lady. Her neckline; slim showcasing her slender pronounced jawline. The way her gold necklace with its dainty little chain holding one glint silver diamond fell around her collar like a loose rope around a tree.

Her hand complimented his rangy one, bulked with muscle cocooned in a protective grasp around hers. Alice couldn't hold back a feeling of acclaim for her boyfriend. She felt safe and protected with Jack shadowing her like a sun hat on a sunny day. The whiff of his cologne that was dabbed around his neck that donned a black collar and sinewy shoulders. The belt of his watch would slide occasionally against her arm, sending this shiver of warmth through her body.

The glow around them; surrounding them with light became dampened upon seeing this husky figure peering towards them. "Well aren't we all dolled up?" The debonair of his voice choked Jack. His eyes narrowed ferociously seeing this tall blonde headed blockhead cloak over the couple unbidden. "Excuse us-"

"Seems like a waste to be with such a puny boy." Jack yanked back, "Boy!?" Matthew stuck his nose up, satisfied to arouse Jack with annoyance. "Jack, let's go-" Alice struggled to nudge Jack away from something that was turning ugly. "You're a pretty thing," Matthew petted the long strands of hair that dangled across Alice's shoulders. "Want to see a real man?" Jack's teeth gritted. Nose flared, eyes burning with red. Jack's fist gutted themselves; clenching white with piercing hate.

"No thank you. You will need to leave us alone," Alice spoke sternly, "Come on Jack."

"You're gonna let a lady boss you around? Tell you what battles to pick?" Alice shot her head towards Jack. His rapid breathes, his squinted eyes with pupils dilating into slits of a jagged animal. Jack thought about leaving, listening to his girlfriend's advice in taking the high road. But it's when Matthew grabbed Alice, spinning her around and kissing her neck furiously that's what made Jack reacted. Hearing the screams of Alice wanting Matthew to leave her alone, sent a swipe of blood through Jack. His subtle jawline was now sharp and stiff.

Grabbing Alice back towards him and giving Matthew a hard shove. "Oh, little boy wants to fight." He grabbed Jack by his collar, "Alright you son of a bitch- this ones free." He punched Jack in gut, making him cry out in pain. Alice winced, screaming at the ruthless attack. But Jack just wiped his face and pressed his two fists together and gave a hard guthro punch in the jaw to Matthew. Jack finished him off with a bloody nose, before running off with Alice.

"Fucking jackass," Alice slapped Jack's shoulder, "Jack! Language! Not to mention fighting...really?" Jack's face reddened upon realizing what he had done. There was nothing macho about fighting in the street at night. "Are you okay though?" Alice had her arms around Jack, fretting over Matthew's blow to Jack's stomach. Jack nodded, not even feeling the sting of his former ache. Although, his hand was killing him. "I'm sorry Alice. Just seeing him kiss you like that made me just..." Jack's face bubbled red again; the thought making his build fury in jaw.

"What if the police had come? You could've been arrested." Alice still held dismay in her voice, not able to pull away from the entire scene that played out in front of her very eyes. "We're fine now baby." Alice looked down; shaken by Matthews appearance. "What if he comes back?" Her voice shook, twinging with unsureness. The uneasiness made her own stomach flip itself around.

Jack stopped Alice, cradling her chin his soft hands. Eyes soft and puppy dog like. "He won't I promise." Kissing her forehead, Alice fell into Jack's arms. "I'm sorry our night was ruined." Jack frowed, pulling Alice to look at him. "It wasn't ruined- I mean it wasn't perfect- but it's not ruined." He kissed Alice's neck. "Why don't we catch a movie and put this whole night behind us?" A smile grew across Alice's face.

"I'd like that."

Sorry, this is my first blurb using swear words. Ik I'm such a baby! lol

I get my bottom wisdom teeth out tomorrow, so I probably won't be posting that much or anything then. I'm gonna call it a week!

Adios until next time!!

No Better Place - Chapter One

Word count: 750+

Summary: Javi has a bad day. Just a quick chapter to set the scene.

The hot Laredo sun beat down on Javier Pena’s head as he wrestled with a fence post. He’d turned down his father’s offer of a hat that morning, not wanting to look like a goddamned cowboy wannabe, but now he regretted it. His dark hair was absorbing the sun’s radiation like a black hole sucking up starlight and he was sweating like an informant under interrogation.

“How you doing, mijo?” Chucho Pena said from the back of his red roan horse. Javier looked up at his father, glad his aviator sunglasses hid the contempt in his eyes.

“How do you think?” Javi spat, kicking at the stubborn post. The old one had rotted through and needed to be replaced, but this new post was slightly too small for the old post hole and kept tilting, pulling awkwardly at the barbed wire. He could have dug a new post hole, but the ground was baked so hard from the summer heat that it would have been easier to chisel a hole in granite. So Javi was trying to get the damned thing to stand up by packing the hole with dirt and rocks and whatever else he could scrape up from the surrounding ground.

Chucho shook his head. “Kicking it won’t help,” he said mildly. “Might even break your toe if you aren’t careful. How the hell did you survive in Colombia?”

“Just lucky, I guess,” Javi retorted. He asked himself that question every day, or at least a variant of it: why had he survived Colombia? Because it didn’t make sense that he was still alive after that hellhole.

Chucho reined his gelding around. “Well, don’t stay out here too long,” he said. “If you get heatstroke, don’t come running to me.” He tapped the horse’s sides with his heels and trotted away.

Javi shook his head. “Maybe I should just stay out here, roast my brains in the sun and feed the coyotes,” he muttered. His horse, a rangy chestnut, snorted at him. Javi wasn’t sure if it the mare was agreeing with him or chiding him for being stupid, but either way, it reminded him that he wasn’t alone out here in the desert, and that was enough to make him return to his work. It might not matter much to the world if he died out here, but his dad couldn’t afford to lose a good horse.

He finally got the fence post to stand mostly upright and decided it was good enough. The mare, who had stood quietly while he worked, one hind leg cocked as she dozed in the heat, suddenly decided she hated standing still. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Javi asked her, as he jerked at the reins. “Stand still for fuck’s sake. Goddamned horse.” She snorted and tossed her head but stood long enough for him to get his foot in the stirrup and swing himself into the saddle. Years behind a desk had left him stiff and awkward when he mounted. As a teenager, he’d been able to vault gracefully onto a horse’s back; now it was more of a lurch, accompanied by an undignified grunt.

He kicked the mare into a trot as they headed toward the ranch house. It was hot and he needed a cold drink and a rest on the porch before the afternoon round of chores began. At the barn, he slid out of the saddle and handed the reins to Paco, the old man who mucked the stalls and groomed the horses in exchange for a tiny apartment in the loft.

Without a word, Javi headed for the house. Walking through the back door, he went into the kitchen, grabbed a cold beer out of the fridge, and walked through the house to plop down on the bench on the front porch. Coco, the cattle dog bitch who’d appointed herself Javi’s new best friend the moment he’d set foot on the ranch three months ago, appeared from under the porch and rested her chin on his knee.

“Yeah, yeah, hi,” Javi said, reluctantly patting the dog’s head. It was embarrassing how happy she was to see him, even if he’d only been out of her sight for ten minutes. “Don’t know why you’re so obsessed with me,” he muttered. “I’m not worth it, you know.” He took a swig of beer and wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. Tomorrow, he’d swallow his pride and wear the damned hat.

Nymeria, the Pack Leader

"There's this great pack, hundreds of them, mankillers. The one that leads them is a she-wolf, a bitch from the seventh hell."

The head of the infamous Chekov's wolf pack of the riverlands! I like the theory that Winds of Winter's prologue will have the Brotherhood vs Lannisters, then the wolf pack coming in to finish them all off as an analogy to the Others descending on squabbling Westeros. Might also foreshadow Arya delivering the gift of mercy to the Brotherhoods new leader!

The mini is a double of Ghost, it's probably my favourite of the Direwolf sculpts just for capturing that spirit of being enormous, but also sort of lean and rangy and gaunt - they can be big and intimidating, but their true strength is endurance through adversity. I went for slightly more blended browns and auburns amongst the grey as real wolves often have, although they're pretty hard to make out in the final product!

My Top Posts in 2022:

Yangs hair

Bumbleby is a fun fandom because, unlike most shippers, they'll be calm as hell if the two get a kiss

At least it'll seem calm compared to if Blake touches Yang's hair, which would set the whole damn fandom on fire for fucking months

Thats why Bumbleby fandom in unique, because they explode over small shit like the hug, or the slight hold in the Atlas vault.

So just wait for the big shit, if they don't get a kiss next season hope for a hair touch.

Kyoshi: Let me get this straight, you liked Hei-Ran?

Kuruk: I fucking loved that women when I was like, i don't know, nineteen?

Kyoshi: And now let me realize that I'm dating her daughter? Your letting me? No protest?

Kuruk: Of course. If I can't pull the mother then your supposed to continue my legacy!

Kyoshi: Hold the fuck up---

Yangchen: He's right.

Kyoshi: What????

Yangchen: I at one point in my life banged Rangi's grandmother. It's a cycle Kyoshi. It's a fucking cycle and you will complete it.

Kyoshi: WHAT

Kuruk: You did? That's awesome!

Yangchen: I even foresee that our future selves will not only marry a fire nation noble, but another will also be a fire prince's best friend, and another will be with a rich fire nation girl.

#Leteveryonesayfuck

The fact that Tyrian got away with screaming "BITCH" at the top of his lungs, but Glynda wasn't aloud to tell James that he treated everything like a dick length contest, Torchwick wasn't aloud to yell fuck, grandma wasn't aloud to say bitch, and Robyn "vigilante politician" Hill wasn't aloud to say bullshit.

The fact that Robyn was really a T away from it tho.

She's the only character to have almost gotten away with saying shit. No seriously.

Every other character in the show says crap.

And credit to Qrow for being the first one to say damn and even cuss in general.

Credit to literally everyone in the After The Fall book because they say damn like every other four words.

Kudos to Ironwood for saying ass first and Emerald for saying AssES first.

Tyrian said bitch so applaud the man.

And courtesy of @mercuryj15 I have been reminded that Yang said bastard.

And final statement, I named this post after a comment made by @idkwhatimdoingsometimes

Random RWBY Headcanon's Part Maybe Six

Headcanon and idea time.

Yang and Ruby can have a fully functioning conversation with upwards of seven people at a time all while capturing each other in headlocks, elbowing each other, and full-on boxing matches.

Every time Weiss, Yang, or Ruby even speaks about the trials and tribulations of having siblings Blake becomes a thousand times happier she's an only child.

Blake can drink almost anyone under the table. It's actually just a natural thing due to her being a Faunus but no one else needs to know that.

Weed is legal in Patch but not so much in central Vale, so Yang, Ruby, and a bunch of other Patch kids got very crafty about it.

Every student and teacher alike is aware that every Patch kid has a stash but there so impossible to find it's like a scavenger hunt. If you can actually find a stash then by all means it's all yours because you must have spent weeks trying to find it.

Weiss once offhandedly mentions how much one of her dresses costs and it has orphans Ren and Nora stumbling, not to mention Blake who's spent a few years as a criminal who sets up camp in the woods like Weiss had them cracking inside.

Everyone places bets on a Ruby vs Pyrrha fight that never ends up happening. They just wanna see the young prodigy and the pride of Mistral fight each other that's it.

The dance was far from Jaune's first time in a dress.

My #1 post of 2022

if Anya grows up

Yeah sure, maybe Spy X Family is just a wholesome ass show about a spy father, assassin mother, and telepath kid.

Eventually that kid grows up tho, and honest to god, what the fuck are you gonna do if a telepath --who weirdly has renowned spy Twlight's intellect and the top assassin Thorn Princess' physical ability-- comes running at you?

What do you even do about that

Like ah shit, Imma try an outsmart her. Nice try bro but she's Twilight's kid, she may have failed all her classes but she's the best tactician in the world and she can read your mind.

What are you gonna do now? Fistfight? Better try amigo but she throws hands rivaling the gods and she knows everything your gonna do the moment you think about it.

Seriously if we get anything with an older Anya, like bro, no one can do anything about her. She is a fucking menace to society and there is nothing anyone can do about that, if you a threat to world peace than say goodbye because your free trial on life has ended

in addition she could probably have Yuri's skills at intimidation too, and then you really have no options

What's a movie/tv show/book/etc. you watched that had unexpected good whump?

TV show: Wednesday. Book: Kyoshi novels.

Spoilers under the cut because I'll talk about these moments.

Wednesday

I was not expecting to watch a tiny girl ending up drenched in her own blood. There's the whole ghost-played-by-the-same-actor-for-no-reason healing.

Still.

I was just watching some mildly amusing teenage drama and I was hit like she was hit by a shovel in the finale.

Kidnapped by your teacher?

Chained up in a creep ass place?

Getting your hand cut open?

Being brutally stabbed? (Pretty sure that knife could go through someone that small)

Almost bleeding to death?

Then being chased by this ugly ass monster?

The fight with the dirty old colonizer and being thrown around like a rag doll?

(bonus for the earlier emotional thing with Thing, they did make me feel for a hand)

Just delicious.

The Kyoshi novels

There isn't much, but I love what's there. I think it's good and I love these characters.

Being drugged? Watching your best friend being dragged away? Being choked by your own element? Watching your father figure being brutally murdered?

There's the fist-fight scene and then kissing? Sweet, sweet hurt/comfort.

Kyoshi being hit by lightning multiple times? The first on her metal fans? It burns them. She got fucking cool scars and that's beautiful.

Then there's the angst thing when Rangi is fucking kidnapped. And Hai-Ran is poisoned. POISONED.

Now, skipping to book two.

There's Kyoshi bending glass out of a wound on her neck. It scars. This bitch is covered in scars.

Hei-Ran was poisoned two years ago, now she's stabbed in the neck.

And the most delicious moment?

When Yun stabs Rangi on the back.

There's a five seconds moment in which I'm sure my lesbian firebender will die and it hurts every time.

Just unexpected whumperflies.

I’m organizing a bunch of my rangshi notes folders on my phone and I came across my semi-abandoned project to make a bunch of different mini playlists, such as (and these are the actual titles I gave them at the time):

Flying Opera Company Roadtrip Jams

Kirima’s Bad Bitch Playlist

Kelsang’s LoFi Vibes

Rangi’s Feels Mixtape for Kyoshi In Hopes That She Gets The Hint

Yun’s Hipster Bullshit

Are mini 10-song Playlists something y’all would be interested in? If so, I just need to piece them together on my D7 Spotify account.

Reading Rise of Kyoshi

Sooooo I’m starting Rise of Kyoshi now and imma be honest I’ve only seen Avatar and Korra once and that was like ten years ago so I might be a bit slow with the worldbuilding and references but ill try to keep up lmao

I think this takes place before both of those shows, though? I think. I hope. Also I'm pretty sure Kyoshi Warriors are a thing ? That's like. Suki's thing, right That's their name? So that's cool, I'm excited to see how that gets started/inspired. (Warning: this is very very long I apologize but I had Thoughts)

“The same way you convinced Lu Beifong to let us administer the Air Nomad test in the Earth Cycle,” Kelsang said calmly.

- okay I recognize Beifong. That's Toph's family, yeah? Though obviously she's not alive yet.

This is making me wonder if any Avatars have ever been assassinated as children. Clearly there are some people who don't like that they exist, so I wonder if it's almost safer to have the Avatar stay in hiding until they're old enough to protect themselves.

Some couldn’t take a hint. Especially the village captain. As soon as they’d passed over her daughter—Aoma, or something—she’d given them a look of utter contempt and demanded to see a higher-ranking master.

- SHE'S A KAREN

The girl took a long, guarded moment, sizing them up. “Kyoshi,” she whispered.

- oh no I already want to protect her

HA she just ran off with it

NINE YEARS LATER-

First of all, these children are awful. Secondly -

Kyoshi grimaced and opened her eyes. Peace was no longer an option. Because now Rangi was here.

- isn't that her??? Her??? She??! I think so ??

“The Avatar’s bodyguard,” Aoma said with a faint smile. “I thought you weren’t supposed to leave his side. Aren’t you slacking off?"

- she's her BODYGUARD ??

“Get off of me, you oaf,” Rangi muttered. She hammered her fists against Kyoshi’s protective embrace, a bird beating its wings against a cage. Kyoshi got to her knees and saw that her face and ears were nearly as red as her armor.

- I love them.

Who is Yun. I'm confused

I'm in love with Rangi already tho

I'm getting attached to Yun and I don't WANT to get attached to Yun because I'm pretty sure he's going to die???? Because Kyoshi? Is the Avatar, yeah?? But I don't think that's how the power transfer even works so like. I'm just confused lmfao

“Kyoshi,” Kelsang said, his voice constricted and airless. “Kyoshi, where did you learn THAT SONG?”

- ahaha what the fuck is going on

“Tell me this—with the two of you as close as you are, has Yun ever once told you the details?”

- is Yun faking it???? Or is Jianzhu lying to him??? I'm so confused???

NONE OF THEM KNOW, THAT'S EVEN WORSE

Kuruk was in love with Hei-Ran and if they'd gotten together then Rangi wouldn't have existed and that is goddamn hilarious

OKAY so basically the situation is down to pure chance. Cool. That’s fine. But guys. I’m not the best at math, but I’m pretty sure a clever boy who uses the same strategy in a game than the last Avatar did is quite a bit more likely than someone randomly coming up with a word-for-word exact poem that the Avatar had constructed in secret. Like I know denial’s a bitch but guys.

“Hey,” Yun said. “I was looking for you.”

- oh god oh fuck

A decorative pillow hit him in the face. Kyoshi’s eyes went wide in disbelief. Rangi looked utterly horrified at what she’d done. She’d attacked the Avatar. She stared at her hands like they were covered in blood. A traitor’s eternal punishment awaited her in the afterlife.

- I would lay down my life for Rangi!!!!!!!

....Jianzhu gives me bad vibes.

Man, miss Tagaka is not here to play!! Spilling tea left and right

“What about you, honey tree? Got any ink on your body that you want to show meeeaggh!” Kyoshi picked him up by the neck with one hand and slammed him into the cliffside.

- so true queen get his ass

“Shouldn’t you be sleeping with Yun?” Kyoshi said. Rangi’s head turned so fast she almost snapped her own neck. “You know what I mean,” Kyoshi said.

- I love these kids sm

Eventually Rangi fell into a deep sleep, radiating warmth like a little glowing coal in the hearth. Kyoshi realized that comforting her throughout the night was both an honor and a torture she wouldn’t have traded for anything in the world.

- me and who????

“Another thing you should know,” Tagaka said as she traded grins with Yun, their muscles trembling with exertion. “I’m really not the Waterbender my father was.”

- ok I know she's being rly Awful right now but pretending earlier to be an awful bender only to reveal she's a phenomenal one is really fucking cool

Kyoshi braced her stomach, filled her lungs, and slammed her feet into the Crowding Bridge stance. Echoes of power rippled from her movement, hundredfold iterations of herself stamping on the ice. She was somehow both leading and being led by an army of benders.

- THERE SHE IS

Yun stood up, navigating the thrashing floor with ease. He came closer, his lips parting slightly. She thought he was going to whisper something reassuring in her ear. And then he sidestepped her. Slid right by, with a layer of empty space between them as impenetrable as steel.

- Well. Shit.

That day, entranced by Yun’s upside-down features dappled with the flower petals she’d teasingly sprinkled over his face, she’d almost leaned down and kissed him. And he knew it. Because he’d almost reached up and kissed her.

- these two are interesting... I'm thinking maybe right person wrong time? I'm curious to see how this all ends up when Rangi is brought into the mix, too.

“It’s this one,” the spirit said. “The girl. She’s the Avatar.”

- THERE IT ISSSS

....and Yun's gone. This is why I didn’t want to get attached to him, that kid was throwing death flags all over the place. I would like Jianzhu to die now please

“So much wasted time,” Jianzhu said. “I could have taught you sooner, if only I hadn’t been distracted by that little swindler.”

- I WAS SO VERY RIGHT TO BE WARY OF THIS ASSHOLE

Jianzhu’s composure broke fully for the first time today. “Really, Kel?” he shouted. “You think so little of me these days that you panicked when I took the Avatar on a trip by myself and broke into my room? I can’t trust the people closest to me anymore!?”

- THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT POINT IF YOU JUST HADN'T HAD A BOY KILLED, SIR

Kelsang collapsed to the ground, his head bouncing lifelessly off the hard-packed earth. Those were the last things Kyoshi saw before the white glow behind her eyes took over her entire being.

- this isn't a joke anymore, kick his ass.

There was a shock waiting for her. Rangi was busy securing bedrolls, tents, and other bales of supplies to Pengpeng’s saddle. She looked up at Kyoshi from under the hood of her raincloak.

- thank god for Rangi.

“You’re not coming with me,” Kyoshi said. “I have to do this alone.” The Firebender gave her a look of such utter contempt for that notion that it could have been grounds for an Agni Kai.

- Lmao, yeah, Kyoshi hon I don't think you're winning this one

Better to tear off this bandage quickly. He told her the version of events she needed to hear. Kyoshi being the true Avatar. The disappearance of both Yun and Kelsang, caused by a treacherous spirit. The Avatar holding a grudge against him for it.

- GOD I wanna punch his face so bad

“We can minimize the damage if we get her back quickly,” she said. “She can’t have gone far on her own—she’s a maid, for crying out loud. I’ll send Rangi to hunt her down. The two of them are friends; she’ll know where Kyoshi would run to.”

- HAHA yeah. About that,,,,

“That’s right,” she said. It felt like her mouth had become her stomach, unwieldy and sour. “My parents founded this group. They’re your bosses."

- .....Oh, fuck.

A blast of flame shot into the darkening sky. And then another, the source slightly to the right. Rangi was signaling to her where to go. Kyoshi felt her heart skip a beat for her friend. It was either that or a conniption from running at full speed for so long.

- Jesus. Yeah, clearly it's the second. (/s)

Kyoshi sent an apology into the cosmos for the damage she was about to cause and barreled straight into the cluster of buildings. If she couldn’t be a creature of grace, then she’d be a battering ram.

- lmfao I love her she just ran straight through three different concrete walls

Kyoshi had always admired Rangi. But right now, it felt as if she were gazing at her friend through a pane of glass freshly cleaned. Some mighty and loving spirit had reached down from the heavens and outlined the Firebender in new strokes of color and vibrance. There was a struggle in Kyoshi’s chest that had nothing to do with how hard she was running, notes of longing and fear played in one chord. She tamped the feeling down, not wanting to confront what it meant right now. In any case, it was a poor time to be distracted.

- awwwww. Rangi is apparently at her most attractive when she's running from policemen <3

And worst of all, she’d forgotten Yun. It didn’t matter how long the lapse was. To release her grip on him, even for a second, was unforgivable.

- honey... it's okay to heal. I promise.

Rangi waved her hand around at the room, at Hujiang, at the Taihua Mountains themselves. “To see you here? It kills me. The fact that you’re stuck here, where no one knows who you truly are, makes me die a little inside with each passing moment. You’re meant to have the best of everything and instead you have this."

- yeah,.... I'm with Rangi... everything lowkey sucks right now akdjdsskdkdk

Kyoshi followed his gaze. It took all of her newfound willpower not to shriek in horror. Rangi was standing on the fighting platform.

- RANGI WHAT ARE YOU D O I N G

Rangi had spun out from under the man’s foot, rotating on her shoulders like a top, and wrapped her body around his standing leg. She’d made a subtle twist, and his limb shattered along every plane it could. The champion lay out on the canvas, writhing in pain, his leg reduced to an understuffed stocking attached to his body. Rangi stood over him, bleeding from the mouth. Other than the single punch she’d taken, she was fine. She hadn’t broken a sweat.

- yes well done but Kyoshi is going to murder you and you desERVE IT

“I know,” she said, her heart aching. “Yun would have been a much better—”

- GOD Kyoshi, sweetheart, that's not it at all! When Rangi says she's disappointed about where you are right now, it's because she thinks you deserve better, not that you're not deserving of the title! Get that through your head!

“You think you don’t deserve peace and happiness and good things, but you do!” Rangi yelled. “You, Kyoshi! Not the Avatar, but you!”

- THANK YOU FOR JUST SAYING IT BECAUSE IT NEVER WOULD HAVE CLICKED IF YOU DIDNT

Kyoshi gently nudged Rangi’s chin upward. She could no more prevent herself from doing this than she could keep from breathing, living, fearing. “I do feel loved,” she declared. Rangi’s beautiful face shone in reflection. Kyoshi leaned in and kissed her.

- oh thank goodness they figured it out <333

But the sound of laughter pulled her back. Rangi was coughing, drowning herself with her own tears and mirth. She caught her breath and retook Kyoshi by the hips, turning to the side, offering up the smooth, unblemished skin of her throat. "That side of my face is busted up, stupid,” she whispered in the darkness. “Kiss me where I’m not hurt.”

- jesus fucking that fake-out scared the life out of me but everything's ok

“Must have been nice,” Kirima said, barely able to contain her laughter. “Sleeping under the stars. Just two friends. Having a close, private moment of friendship."

- right? Just gals being pals! No but seriously this made me cackle omFG

The darkness of her abandonment must have boiled to her surface as the three of them trudged uphill back toward town, because Rangi ran the back of her nails down Kyoshi’s hand, a playful and teasing distraction that held more meaning now than a hundred volumes of history. Kyoshi nearly tripped and fell on her face.

- oh lord she's a disaster

Also I'm just really happy that they've gotten together like, barely after halfway through and not at the very end! Very cool

Two large dark holes, nostrils, sucked air in all directions until they pointed straight at Kyoshi.

- This is why we can't have nice things, goddammit.

She took a deep breath to steady herself. “I’m the Avatar.”

- yeah, I agree with this decision. At this point, lies will only hurt them all as a group.

The fan she’d been holding had come out of her belt as she clenched up in surprise. She was gripping it the wrong way, like a dagger. The tip of the weapon pointed to the little blob of water hovering in midair.

- HELL YEAH

Amid the shouting, Rangi buried her face in her hands. She seemed to have a headache that rivaled Lek’s. Kyoshi agreed with her. The official training of the Avatar was off to a great start.

- sjdhfksjsjs this is gonna go wonderfully.

Rangi’s face wilted further. “I don’t know,” she said after a while. Her shoulders were heavy with dejection. “I couldn’t be certain. I guess if we can’t trust my own mother, then we can’t trust anyone."

- ugh, poor baby. I... like to think that if Hei-Ran learned the full truth she'd be on Kyoshi's side over Jianzhu, but I'm not sure, which sucks.

“Buzz off!” Rangi yelled.

- #LetRangiSayFuck2022

“Why?” Kyoshi felt Rangi leap onto her back, clinging to her like a rucksack. “Agh! Why!”

- LMFAO this is putting a new meaning to climbing someone like a tree

Ah, I spoke too soon, Rangi is also demonstrating the original meaning of climbing someone like a tree

How about we just get Hei-Ran, Rangi, and Kyoshi all to kill Jianzhu together in friendship and love and then they tell the world that he was evil. Ya know, the truth. Everything could be so simple. For legal reasons this is a joke but like /hj yknow

Jianzhu checked another body. It had no decoration on its person, but he backtracked along the path the man had charged and found what he was looking for on the ground. A dried moon peach blossom.

- GOD I'd love it if these two groups just took each other out that'd be SO helpful actually

“She would have been accompanied by a Firebender. Another girl, black hair, military bearing—”

- WELL SHIT YEAH THE DAOFEI ARE GONNA REMEMBER RANGI EVEN IF THEY DONT REMEMBER KYOSHI GODDAMMIT RANGI

The girl had been here at some point, that was certain. She must have planned to hide in the remote mountains and fallen into an ambush, like he nearly did. She’d been captured and taken to this headquarters.

- the faith Jianzhu has in the literal Avatar astounds me

I understand the point of Lao Ge, and I even understand some of his points and the way he views the world. But having said that.... I just really don't want him anywhere near Kyoshi. Not in the slightest

“Sifu,” she drawled. “Oh, please, impart upon me the mysteries of immortality, for I wish to watch eras pass before my eyes like the grains of an hourglass."

- WAIT I've just had a thought (memory???) isn't it A Thing that Kyoshi's like, the longest-lived Avatar ever? (Unless u count Aang maybe?) or am I pulling that out of my ass. I think that's a thing(?)

The knife clattered to the ground. The eyes of the Flying Opera Company were as big and wide as the moon overhead. Everyone was shocked into silence, including Wai, who seemed numbed by sheer disbelief from the pain coursing up his arm. "Forgive me, Uncles,” Kyoshi said, finding it supremely easy to speak now. “I saw a poisonous insect and thought to save your lives."

- HA GET FUCKED

“Those are our colors,” Wong said as he dipped his thumb and began to gently apply the paint to her cheeks. “White symbolizes treachery, a sinister nature, suspicion of others, and the willingness to visit evil deeds upon them.” Kyoshi could hear Rangi snort so loudly Te might have heard it in his palace. "But,” Wong said, scooping into the other side of the case with his forefinger. “Red symbolizes honor. Loyalty. Heroism. This is the face that we show our sworn brothers and sisters. The red is the trust we have for each other, buried in the field of white but always showing through in our gaze."

- ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

It had become clear during their surveillance that Te’s palace had a critical security weakness. It lacked a moat. Kyoshi was providing one for him, free of charge.

- HA I LIKE THIS PLAN

The boy stared at her with a round, soft face full of defiance. “I’m Te Sihung,” he said. “I’m the Governor."

- well, fuck.

Kyoshi thrust an arm behind her and blasted Lao Ge down the tunnel with a ball of wind.

- OH HELL YEAH IDK WHAT YOU'RE DOING BUT I'M WITH YOU GET HIS ASS

Kyoshi let the breeze play against her skin before giving it a gentle push with her hand. The wind spun faster at her request. She could feel Kelsang smiling warmly at her, a final gift of love. "They’ll always be with us,” she said to Rangi. “Always."

- brb I'm sobbing

Kyoshi ran at the far wall. And then she ran higher. And higher. The earth flicked at the soles of her feet, propelling her upward. She continued to dust-step until she landed on top of the roof.

- SHE'S DOING THE THINGGG

“Thank you,” Te said, wobbling from the lack of a saddle. “I’ll give you anything you want. Money, offices—” Kyoshi backhanded him hard across the mouth.

- the AUDACITY of this child

“But I think we’ve suffered enough losses, don’t you?” Xu said. “Five thousand. Five thousand of our compatriots snuffed out like vermin.”

- shit fuck oh shit oh no I recognize that number sHIT

Trying to split the difference with neutral jing had been the wrong choice. “I made a mistake,” Kyoshi said. “We have to get down there. Now.”

- YEAH LET'S GO BE HEROES

Kyoshi pointed at Xu. “Xu Ping An! I challenge you to face me on the lei tai, immediately!”

- YOU GOT THIS SWEETHEART

“I’m sorry, Sifu,” she said. “But I’m not doing this as a killer. I’m doing this as the Avatar. Even if the world won’t know it.”

- yeah. She can't be exactly like Lao Ge, even if she once wanted to be. And I think that's a good thing.

And she was playing the wrong game entirely. Xu thrust his arms forward, two fingers extended from each hand, and struck her fans with a bolt of lightning.

- HUH???? ??? LIGHT NING???

“Stop!” she heard Rangi cry from far away. “Please stop!” It was the hopelessness in her voice that set Kyoshi over the edge, the complete surrender of a girl who would have been invincible if not for her love. Kyoshi had put that weakness in Rangi, and Xu had torn it open. He was torturing the person Kyoshi cared about most in the world. And by every spirit of every star in the night sky, he would pay for that.

- GET HIS ASS

Kyoshi looked down the length of her arm at Xu. He shielded his eyes from hers, her inner light too harsh to take in. His mouth gaped open and shut like a fish. The air was moving too fast for him to breathe. "You forget, Xu,” she said, and a legion of voices synchronized in the eye of the storm. “There is always someone who stands above you in judgment."

- YOU TELL HIM HE'S SO SCREWED

And Xu had exhausted his. Kyoshi was the only thing holding him up. She opened her hand and watched him fall.

- gottim.

“You’re . . . really good at throwing rocks,” she blurted out.

- omfg Kyoshi honey we need to take some socialization lessons

Hei-Ran curled up on the couch, hugging her knees. She looked so young when she did that. "I don’t want to respond,” she said. “I want to tell Hui and the sages the truth so they can help us extend the search. Jianzhu, I don’t care about the Avatar anymore. I want my daughter back.”

- YES ok let's go Fire Mom we can all beat Jianzhu up together I'm manifesting it

GOD I hate Jianzhu.

Alone, he picked up Te’s letter again. He’d been right not to give Hei-Ran the full story. He’d always been by himself in this game.

- SHIT

Their numbers were surprising. He hadn’t realized these many sages fell outside his sphere of influence. Perhaps about a fifth of the most important people in the Earth Kingdom had arrived on his doorstep with hostile intent.

- I know this is probably bad for literally everyone but imma be honest I'm just enjoying Screw Jianzhu Day

Jianzhu collapsed forward, his upper body slamming against the table. He couldn’t see Hei-Ran. But like the needle of a compass, his hand reached toward her as he blacked out.

- oh ??? OH??? PLEASE tell me this was Hei-Ran somehow omfg

There was no way these gloves would be acceptable in polite company. Their very appearance was aggressive, a declaration of war. "They’re perfect,” Kyoshi said. “What do we owe you?”

- lmfao I love her

Quick question wtf is happening everyone's dying suddenly

Feet ran over to them. Pairs of hands quickly grabbed Rangi and dragged her away. Just Rangi.

- HEY QUICK QUESTION WTF IS HAPPENING IS THIS HEI-RAN??? that's fine if so BUT SHE BETTER NOT KILL LEK

She(?) killed Lek. What the fuck

Pinned to the paper it was written on was a silky black topknot of hair, crudely severed from its owner’s head.

- oh my GOD OKAY IT'S NOT HEI-RAN WTF IS HAPPENINGGG

Murdering Hui and the other sages in his own home was nothing. Drinking the poison himself to blunt suspicion, trusting in the training that the departed Master Amak had put him through as well as Yun, was nothing. A good number of servants were dead as well, the ones who’d used the leftover boiled water he’d dosed for their own cups.

- OH MY FUCKING GOD I WANT THS MAN TO DIE

Oh boo-hoo this asshole still really thinks he's the goddamn tragic hero of the story

Jianzhu frowned at her. “The fact that you think so means you need proper training and education more than anything. It’s time to stop this nonsense, Kyoshi. Come home."

- THIS 'NONSENSE' ?? SIR.

This man better keep Rangi's name out his mouth i swear to fuck

God the way they're describing this stand-off between Kyoshi and Jianzhu both trying to bend at the same time is sooo good I!!, am stressed!

The person who stood over them with all the familiarity in the world threw his hood back. It was Yun.

- HUH ????

Yun gently put his other hand, still stained with black ink, to Jianzhu’s back. After another second passed, he showed them what had traveled between his palms. The stone, now covered in blood.

- oh my god.

Rangi buried her face in Kyoshi’s chest. She shuddered and wept, but she was otherwise unharmed.

- oh nooooo poor baby :((((

Was it over? Kyoshi found she had no answer to that question at all.

- mm, I have a sneaking suspicion it's only beginning.

“The will refers to you by name, Avatar Kyoshi. Master Jianzhu sent the copies by messenger hawks only a few weeks ago. In the documents he confesses to his great mistake in wrongly identifying the Avatar and beseeches his colleagues to give you their full support, as he posthumously does. His lands, his riches, his house—they’re yours now."

- HA GOTTIM

She stared at the spirit of the man whom she knew was dead. The man who’d been Jianzhu and Hei-Ran and Kelsang’s friend. The man who’d been her predecessor in the Avatar cycle. "Kuruk?”

- aayyy it's you from the past! But also not!

- - - -

And that's the end of Rise of Kyoshi, thank god I have Shadow of Kyoshi on hand, because I am planning to start it tonight. I assume we're going to be dealing with good 'ol Kuruk here, as well as YUN BEING ALIVE and also we better address Jinpa's weird-ass "we" statement. What's that all about ?!!

Anyways, I really enjoyed reading this!!!

The characters are all fantastic, even awful ones (*cough* Jianzhu *cough*) and I had a blast.

#rise of kyoshi #avatar #smokey speaks
