Seven Havens leans much more to the fantasy side of science fiction, as the Avatar franchise always has. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, but its main challenge likely involves restoring balance between humanity and nature, and learning the history of the Avatar and the origins of Pavi and Nisha as two avatars. The only major similarity between the two shows so far is that there’s a supposed savior figure (Voltron and the Avatar) that are meant to be a savior figure and steward to humanity but this is such a staple of Western media and the defining component of the Avatar Universe that it would be ridiculous to draw comparisons between the two based solely on that. The animation style is not even remotely similar (the cover art for Seven Havens was actually FAR more similar to Voltron’s art style down to the signature diamond-shaped pupils), and at this point, neither are the outfits, which, while using a similar geometric shape and motif, look very little like Voltron’s staple outfits that are meant for an outer space setting.

It’s also fairly clear that Seven Havens is leaning much more heavily into South Asian influence here (at least that we see in the main characters and in the score), which has been relatively quiet and underrepresented in Avatar’s setting in the past. This is not the same as the show ditching all Asian influence altogether, and that would be a really weird argument to make, even though one could have concerns about them pulling back from it.

Taken to WHA equivalent of Claires because their guardian/master did not know where else to go and has seen the ear piercing advertisement enough. Plus they get a free set with the piercing!

N/A just wanted to show this option was ignored :) All the masters care <3

Their guardian/master did it because they didn't trust anyone else to.

Ininia, Custas

Taken to Hieheart: Hieheart has no piercing himself, but has the spirit to help those who come to him (others or Oly with the kids...). He is very chipper and sweet, making it a very quick process, but he actually really hates doing it. He just can't say no.

Jujy, Tetia

Did it themselves! The good ole needle and ice cube trick because they were either too scared to ask someone else or wanted to prove they could do it themselves!

Euini, Tartah, Qifrey

Says they did it themselves but actually had it done by a trusted guardian/professional piercer.

Custas, Loronga, Olruggio

Wears clip on earrings instead without shame. Why the heck would they want to get stabbed? No thanks.

Richeh

Went to a proper piercer at a younger age.

Agott, Riliphin

Pierced by a friend who claimed to have done their own and despite their other friend heavily discouraging it, they do it. The piercer is panicking a little and the holes come out uneven, but the recipient isn't upset at all.

This is what I drew after this situation 👇

Not too certain who made this song or what it’s called, but from what I can tell it’s : I want hair like yours

Tried editing for the first time!! I’m too busy to work on my fics atm but it turns out these are really fast to make which is cool :)

I have truly so many thoughts about how Le’blanc was just stalking Mel her entire life. I was rewatching S1 and Amara is just There, all the time, whenever Mel is on screen. It’s crazy.

That fucking necklace dude. Mel was ALREADY weird about it, she paints it abstract and bloodstained on the ground; on a canvas big enough that it takes up the majority of her entire wall. Then she hangs it above her bed. Crazy.

No one knows what that means but her; no one else even sees it but her. The rest of the room is empty. It’s just the bed and the source of her nightmares. Mel is a freak.

Then Le’blanc comes along and is just unimaginably cruel. She prys into Mel’s mind and finds this thing that affects her more than anything else and she puts it on Kino. She takes the face of the dead girl and wears that, too. She could have conjured any object to give to Mel and she chose that specific necklace. What’s worse is it feeds into Mel’s already pre-ingrained awful response to grief.

“Wear this thing around your neck, carry it with you always. No one can see it. It will kill your mother; just as it killed your brother and your friend and that girl in your dreams.”

He's SUCH A sweet kid(( look at my lil boy((

"it's just the day I was born, I don't have any good memories" is so( and then OF COURSE Coco and Tartar make a fuss about it and celebrate him anyway 😭🤲 this is such a real piece of children's friendship - I've been on both sides of the very same situation in my life

Like, custas isnt a Brimmed Cap really- he played the role when it was just him and ininia but that was

A). When he had an actual goal to achieve

B). When he wasnt catatonic with grief

C). When he didnt know he was hosting a life-threatening parasite

From custas' perspective he has once again been betrayed by people who claimed they wanted to help him, once again witches have lied to him; he is going to absolutely lose his mind

From the perspective of the Brimmed Caps... restys has brought them a new silverwood experiment. They are not going to treat him as an equal, as a member of the team. he will be lucky if they treat him as a person

And then there is tartah

Tartah who made an impulsive decision (an understandable one! but still!) and barely has a plan for his next steps

let's not forget, tartah still doesn't know magic! nolnoa mentioned still looking for a master to learn from at silver eve!

he knows how to distill water and reconstitute powders but... as far as we know that's it! and i highly doubt the Brimmed Caps are going to let him run around, grabbing arms and asking questions with his truth seal

at best, they'll treat him as a curiosity and agree to teach him some forbidden spells but like?? he is completely defenceless against powerful adults who have no reason to not hurt him

what will be interesting is maybe getting more of an insight into the Brimmed Cap organisation now that the two of them are there

it seems pretty loosey-goosey structurally, is iguin the defacto leader? or is this more a like-minded individuals meeting up for casual coffee and child torture?

either way

Imagine after everything that's happened since his last birthday, Tartah is the only one who knows the day who can reach him anymore and, despite laying low due to their current manga status, goes and buys him a treat and tries to sing to him but Custas rejects it, unable to accept that he's continuing to grow older when the person he loved most can't.
