The Wind Dancer

Tikaani’s not even a master or anything. She’s just really fucking adaptable. Do you know what firebending’s weakness is? It’s lack of defense. So, what did she do? Learn from an airbending master. Which, airbending is known for it’s defensive style. She learned how to use her firebending offensively and defensively. That’s why she’s so strong. She’s adaptable and that makes her very difficult to beat on top of the fact that she’s very decisive in the moment. Short sighted, maybe, but she doesn’t hesitate.  There are so few people you can compare to Tikaani when you’ve got some of the best bending masters in the world in your close personal circle.

And i completely get the whole argument about Nima being good at one thing. It’s a personal criticism to myself that Nima doesn’t seem to have many other hobbies, but l also would like the chance to address these things and rectify them. I have folks and friends who do relay to me constructive criticisms.

I also don’t feel like I should tell you about my characters strengths and weaknesses, but no, Nima’s not the most intellectually book smart, but she’s clever. And she’s fast. Out of all my characters in any world, you find few of them who are faster and better at hauling ass than Nima. Unless she’s really herded into a corner, if she doesn’t want to be caught then good fucking luck, buddy.

I don’t know how old you are, but I’m 24. And let me tell you that your early 20′s are a time when everybody thinks you should be super accomplished, but the truth is that you don’t even know who you are yet hardly. I have like... no character that gets their airbending tattoos super early. Early 20′s is pretty good I’d say. I mean, it can be a plot point for someone to think they should already have it, but one where it should end with the character stop believing that.

... okay, I wasn’t all that perplexed until that last bit.

I don’t think you understand. Call it a cliche or whatever you want, but Nima was the sole survivor of a literal massacre. Like, she was four, dude. And 84 dead bodies just laid around her for HOURS. “Tragic thing should make people stronger” is such a relative, flightly thing when everyone deals with trauma differently. She was a small child and she suffers from Survivor’s Guilt in literally ever iteration just about. Nima has guilt issues. Her airbendering suffers because of this due to control. If you’ve seen Atla at all then you might be able to put two and two together.

Like, hey, I’m super glad that you guys takes interest in Nima because that’s all I’ve ever wanted. People to love my baby and I pray that you guys continue to do so, but Nima’s not your typical YA heroine that you read about a lot of the times where she’s only strong if she can kick somone’s ass. Her type is closer to Aang’s except Nima was actually there to witness the trauma of her people literally being cut down and slaughtered in front of her eyes. One of whom actually died to protect her. She’s got a lot of mental stuff to work through. Yeah, she’s exceptionally beautiful and one of the best dancers around, but she’s got issues because of what she’s gone through and it cripples her on some level. That’s what those things can do to you. That’s the conflict. That’s the sacrifice. Everybody loves you, but no one even fucking knows what you go through and how is she supposed to tell them when she basically pathologically blocks it out because the trauma fucks her up too much. Nevermind that it’s of course still in her psyche and she just never learned how to directly deal with it.

“Air Nomads in general believe in freedom, but that freedom also means freedom from worldly tethers and things that keep us from reaching enlightenment. We don’t judge, but we also prefer to be more reserved. At least, most of us do. Our elders do.”

Like you’re such an amazing and talented writer especially at writing romances. I’ve read your Kainora works at least a dozen times and you’re so good at writing smuts, fluffs and still making it interesting and shipable. I’m not the biggest Makorra but when you write it makes me wanna ship them cause you’re so good at writing romance so I guess it just kinda shocked me for you to not write a single not even a snippet of romance for Nima as your main blog that I’ve been following for a long time        

Thank you and also, it’s okay, but remember that I’m a person behind this screen. Like I said though, this actually isn’t my main blog. My main blog is kuno-chan. If you’re looking for canon stuff then that’s a bit tougher because I just haven’t done as much there, but I do have Nima stuff with romance for sure lmao. Like, I’m way deep into that already.

Oh, man, I have a feeling you don’t follow my main blog lmao. This isn’t my main blog. @kuno-chan is my main blog. I have way more stuff there with Nima’s romance life than I do on this blog tbh. Mainly because, well, the rping community kinda died? Sea of Chains is my fic where Nima really gets her first romance. More or less, I kind of live in the Anchorverse created by @thethiefandtheairbender

I really doubt Nima would have an affair. Shit would have to get HELLA messed up on every angle for that to even happen.
