rip the four nations

AWW BATAAR SR SEEMS LIKE SUCH A SWEET DADDO ;o;

props to bt sr, the one nerdbaby who didn’t bail on a beifong

portraits are a good way to keep myself drawing even when I'm tired.

Conversely however, I do feel that a lot of people - i.e. Azula stans - go out of their way to downplay Ozai's influence on her (which I don't consider Azula's fault, btw) in favour of demonizing Ursa for not being a perfect mother. And I'm under the impression that they generally do so because they feel Azula's more "redeemable" if she's the way she is because of an emotionally neglectful mother, as opposed to a toxic and imperialist culture that she was happy to spread and be a part of. And I don't feel it's a coincidence that many of these people scream, shriek and void their bowels over the comics not immediately having her become a better person - similar to Maiko shippers who complain about the comics not having them immediately get back together in an unnatural manner - claiming it's sexist writing and what have you.

Like all of these (mostly ztr tbh, even though I've seen discussions of it from all corners) people making pages long geometrical analyses to prove the character's facial features are "different" from the cartoon and thus somehow no longer "ethnic" (as if they were to begin with) or that the OG cartoon didn't, too, suffer from #sameface.

Like duh. Yes, their faces are obviously designed from a different spreadsheet than the cartoon. The important discussion is WHY, and no, I really am not convinced it is simply done to make them look "white".

and the film is (likely to be) available on a partner platform in other countries where Paramount+ isn't available....
