[ID: Line art comic of Taako and Kravitz. Taako is an elven man with long, curly hair, slight build, and freckles. He is wearing a puffy sleeved shirt and long of earrings. Kravitz is a half elven man with long locs partially pulled back into a bun, and facial hair. He is wearing a loose blouse with a cravat. Taako’s hands cup Kravitz’s face as he asks, with annoyance, “Are there no laws against being this handsome?” Kravitz grins and replies, “If there were, I suppose that would make us both criminals.” Taako stares in disbelief for split second, before blushing profusely and yelling, “You’re so fucking cheesy oh my god!!” To which Kravitz just laughs.

actually my favorite thing about Baikal is the lake itself!

viewed from above, it looks like nothing particularly special. sure, it’s a big lake, but it doesn’t have the surface area of the Great Lakes or the Caspian Sea, right?

WRONG!

BOOM.

see, Lake Baikal really isn’t a lake at all, it’s a deep rent in the earth’s crust called a Rift Valley that just happened to get water in it. and the Baikal rift is one of the deepest and narrowest on earth, making this deceptively placid lake slightly over a MILE deep! that’s bonkers nutso.

like, you think the OCEAN is bad, just imagine being in a little fishing boat on this thing without realizing just how far away the bottom is....

He already knew how to fight with Water Tribe weapons/regalia:

Then, in what’s likely the first Earth Kingdom village he’s ever visited, he learned how to fight with the Warriors of Kyoshi:

When he reached the Northern Air Temple, he was able to tap into the philosophy of the airbenders and realize that the best way to win a battle is to avoid face-to-face confrontation by instead using creative means (and the sky) to take down your opponent:

And finally, when he reached the Fire Nation, Piandao taught him how to forge a unique weapon and hone his swordsmanship:

Sokka learned all four non-bending styles!

Really puts Iroh’s quote into a different context:
