Memento Mori: An Elegy to The Wind

Another fancomic by me, this time about Kelsang and Kyoshi. A love letter to the novel, and also to those who grief for the people they missed.

OK I keep seeing everyone posting this picture and saying Azula is fucked, I'm not here to refute that. In fact, I'm here to clarify how exactly she is fucked.

Warning: Rise/Shadow of Kyoshi Spoilers

1. Kyoshi is literally 7 feet tall. Girl was 6'6 at age 17.

2. Kyoshi didn't learn how to bend until she was 16 despite having known she was a bender. Why? BECAUSE SHE WAS ONLY ABLE TO BEND HUGE PIECES OF EARTH LIKE FUCKING MOUNTAIN SIZE PIECES OF EARTH. She couldn't bend small stuff so she decided it was just safer to not use her bending.

3. She learned water bending from Kirima, AN ACTIVE GANG MEMBER

4. She learned fire bending from her girlfriend Rangi who WAS THE DAUGHTER OF THE WHO WAS NOT ONLY PREVIOUS AVATAR'S FIRE BENDING TEACHER BUT THE FIRE LORDS BENDING TEACHER WHO JOINED AN OUTLAW GANG AT 16 DESPITE HAVING GROWN UP

5. She had three earth bending teachers all of which were OUT LAWS IN A FUCKING GANG. One of the guys taught Kyoshi much more advanced things like LEARNING HOW TO LIVE FOREVER!? This was because he himself was PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF FUCKING YEARS OLD. Not only did he TEACH HIMSELF IMMORTALITY, the hundreds if not thousands of years he spent alive he worked AS AN ASSASSIN WHO TRAVELED THE WORLD KILLING HUGE POLITICAL FIGURES WHO HAD CAUSED SUFFERING.

6. Kyoshi is the descendents of an Hark and earth bender and Jessa an air bender. Hark and Jessa were THE LEADER OF A GANG THAT WAS AT ONE POINT THE MOST DANGEROUS. Because Jessa was an Air bender doing bad things made it harder for her to bend so she just INVENTED A WAY SO IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE BY USING FANS.

7. Kyoshi didn't learn she was the avatar until she was 16 and instead of introducing herself and being like hey im the avatar not this other dude SHE JOINED A FUCKING GANG AND PUT OF AIDING WORLD PEACE JUST TO GET REVENGE.

Imagine your mom just recovered from a near death experience and you finally met your girlfriend again after MONTHS with no way to check up on her.

First you find out that your girlfriend hasn't been taking care of herself at all as well as doing semi legal to illegal things.

And then both your mother and your girlfriend are just completely willing to die for the cause when your job is literally to keep them (or at least one of them) from dying.
