I like to think that at least once, the Avatar cycle seemed to skip the Water Tribe—like people knew it was the water tribe’s turn, everyone was looking for them, the tests are done on all the kids, but like 60-80 years go by and no avatar until some Earth Kingdom kid shows up. People wonder if the cycle skipped a generation or what, but nothing serious was going on at that time so they shrug and move on.

It’s only many many years later that someone is researching Swampbender oral history and someone tells the story of “Ol Stinky Jess, she was a funny one, could light the swamp on fire an’ all sorts o’ shenanigans! Best catfishgator catcher in the tribe, she was” and thats literally it, she just lived a totally chill life in the swamp and nobody knew what an avatar was at the time so they just rolled with that funny gal’s odd bending ways.

#there are no words to describe how much I love this #this is so pure #like the traditions of finding the avatar are great and all but this is utterly organic and creative #and just realistic in the best way #bless you for this #swampbender #hc accepted

Aang: is this the part where you tell me that if I hurt her, you’ll kill me?

Hakoda: no. If you hurt Katara, she is perfectly capable of killing you herself.

#it would have been an act of mercy to offer to kill him if he hurt Katara #death would have more mercy than Katara scorned #i love it #katara #hakoda #hc accepted

i am delighted to inform you that wild bears seeking out and swinging on hammocks is in fact a fairly common occurrence!

#i am henceforth a bear #my fellow bears understand the love for hammock #it is the natural instinct of bears to look at a hammock and think 'that looks like something i want to park my tush in!!!' #and so is me #not atla

You can’t convince me Katara wasn’t one of those kids who threatened to run away from home at least five times a day.

Kofi link is on my page

aang raising an eyebrow because it's the cutest thing in the world

#when I was a wee lass I saw the characters in atla move their eyebrows and taught myself to do it #just thought ‘I wanna do that too’ #then bam #I did it #can wiggle my ears too #muscles are weird man #moral of the story basically believe in yourself kids and you too can do the funky eyebrow moves

This is an appreciation post for the air nomads ✨️✨️ I like to think bison are a lot more diverse, and are very beloved and decorated by their owners. Sometimes it's boring in the sky too, so pinwheels and kites are added for bending fun :)

The babies can't do much but there are sometimes bison rides for the elderly and children (or open to anyone, really.) I imagine sky bison are a lot like yaks, who naturally shed an undercoat in spring that can be used for fabric. Spring is absolutely HORRIBLE for allergies though

And also the gaang! sharing aangs culture ect by making use of appa's fur and trying to deal with the pesky lemurs lol
