“will you go penguin sledding with me?” 

*please never take Appa away from this boy* 

*PLEASE never  Appa away from this boy ever again* 

*jamming like there’s no tomorrow* 

“do you think we could have been friends?”

*literal flower child* 

what a talented kid! 

*mastering his fourth element* 

“and now we’re friends”

“can I have some onion and banana juice, please?” 

the gaang after Zuko risked his life to hold of Azula in order to protect them: “To Zuko! Sure are glad he’s switched sides and is no longer trying to kill us! 

Zuko: *makes this adorable face* 

Zuko: ‘what is this??? appreciation??? nice? nice feeling! Is this friendship? Did I do the friendship right???!’ 

Zuko: ‘oh no, she’s going to fucking kill me. This is how I die. I knew I shouldn’t have done the whole field trip thing. She still hates me. I still suck. I’m beyond forgiveness despite what she said-- 

Katara: *hugs* 

Zuko: oh wait, I’m okay, I did it, this is friendship, I’m okay 

Zuko: “I’m garbage. I’m worthless. I’m a human garbage dumpster and this play understands that. They have translated the Essence(tm) of my terribleness through bad theater and I deserve it”

Toph: “your uncle talked nonstop about you when I met him because he loves you

Zuko, being used to his entire existence being actively rejected: “oh sorry” 

Toph, who vibed with this anxious, awkward mess of a human space heater the minute Appa started licking him: “Listen here you little shit, you better pick that self esteem up or so help me” 

Toph: excuse me, this is MY emotional support firebender 

Zuko, still not used to the idea that people genuinely want to be around him for his personality: ‘!?!?!?????’ 

Zuko: *automatically assumes that group hugs are for People Who Aren’t Him and doesn’t even attempt to engage*

The gaang: “Come on Zuko, being part of the group means being part of group hugs” *Suki and Toph open up their arms to him*

I wanted to start a new chain post to get to know more people. So tell me one book from your childhood that you still love now, one book that is on your reading list, and the book that you’ve read most recently. Mine are The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, Weapon by Lynette Noni, and Supernova by Marissa Meyer.

Childhood Book: Harry Potter. I know J.K Rowling is transphobic and I DO NOT support that, but I still have so much nostalgia for those books. I grew up with them. And also I would still die for Hermione Granger.

Reading List: More classics in general like Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice!

Most Recent Read: I’m still reading King of Scars and it’s taking forever because it only gets really good after like 11 chapters in my opinion.

Childhood book: The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. It’s not super well known, but it’s a beautiful book, and I read it with my mom and sister in 4th grade and it’s still one of my favorite childhood memories. Love love love love. Definitely read if you have not. 

Reading List: Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, on my dad’s recommendation, and the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas on my friends’ recommendation. 

Most Recently Read: I just finished The Toll by Neal Shusterman, and I’m currently reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. 

Reading list: I recommend reading the last part of the Assassian’s creed series. I read it in the last two years of school. 

Most recently read: Good Omens and I have the federalist papers book in the wings. 

Reading list: Too many books. Mostly Regency era books, like Jane Eyre and Sense and Sensibility.

Most recently read: I’m rereading the Tiger’s Curse series by Colleen Houck, because there is a new book and its been a few years. Good omens is the last book I finished.

Childhood books: Sooooo many! The Twilight Books, I guess. I know, I know, but I read, like, nothing else for a year, and I loved ‘em so much! They’re not amazing by any means, but they’re a pretty decent read and pretty good books tbh. They’re not the movies, guys. 

Reading List: Many on this too. At the moment, Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire (it’s my first time ever reading the series okay, but I don’t agree with J.K guys, at ALL).

Most recently read: Chain of Gold by @cassandraclare, it was AMAZING! Also, reading Ghosts of the Shadow Market by Cassie too, properly this time. All of it.

My childhood book is definitely the Harry Potter series

I just read the lost sisters by Holly Black

And I’m actually looking for a new book series to read so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great!😂❤️

I think I finally figured out how to tag people! So let’s see how this goes😂



Childhood book: The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, they were my everything

Reading list: Kingdom of Ash, I keep procrastinating reading it even though i know I’ll love it

Recent read: Lady Midnight, I was rereading it

Childhood book: The Mother-Daughter book club, Harry Potter and Canterwood Crest were my everything!!

Reading list: I want to read Twilight, just because it sound like entertaining trash.

Recent read: The Art of Racing in the Rain (which was an emotional rollercoaster)

@evangeline-lovelace @mitsuhamiyamizi @catherinasrose @alma-berry @a-very-gay-spider 

Childhood book: I’ll go a bit different here and say a set of books belonging to my mum by Dorothy Clark (one of which is called Polly Piglet)

Reading list: The Midnight Lie (which I have had for months and not gotten into yet)

Childhood book: I’m gonna go very differently here. My mother tongue is French so the first few books I’ve ever read come from this French series called Tara Duncan

Reading List: oh god, so many! A few are Ninth House and King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo, The Bear and The Nightingale by Katherine Arden, The Kingdom of Back by Marie Lu and Queen of Air and Darkness which I am still yet to read

Recent read: Lord of Shadows, Bone Crier’s Moon and City of Brass

chilhood book: dont judge me but i actually started to read fiction a bit later around 13 years old so i dont really have a beloved childhood series or book except maybe our worn-out 365 Bedtime Stories book. the first fictional book i read was James Patterson’s The Beach Road though

reading list: i have a lot but i have yet to finish Obsidio, Wolf by Wolf and 1Q84

recently read: Gemina and Chain of Gold plus all three in my reading list because yes i do read 3 books all at once im sorry

childhood book: the secret series by pseudonymous bosch is among the first set of books that i read when i was younger so it has a special place in my heart

reading list: i currently have 38 unread books in my possession but amongst the notable ones are some books written by filipino writers like the dead balagtas, and insurrecto as well as the last four books of the chronicles of narnia

Benjamin Button: Camouflage Cat Extraordinaire

In light of events surrounding the unlawful murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Ahmoud Arbery and Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner and David McActee and countless other unarmed, innocent black people by police in America and around the world, we feel it is important to address the part we have to play in the situation.

Firstly and most importantly, we recognise that by writing about these characters we contribute towards the pro-cop narrative that causes people to say things like “Jake Peralta would never do this!” and “not all cops are bad!” We sincerely and deeply apologise for this.

Secondly, we feel it would be ignorant, disrespectful and wrong to continue to publish fics featuring police officers at this time and agree to suspend works on this subject matter until tensions have eased. And even then, we agree to carefully consider what we are writing and the ramifications our work may have on young, influential people.

Finally, we would like to remind readers that all past and future fics are exactly that: works of fiction. They do not represent our opinions of real life police officers and the systematic racism towards black people within the police system.

Our aim is not to discourage you from reading what we have previously written or will write in the future, nor to discourage you from watching the show that we all love, if they bring you comfort and joy during these difficult times. We are simply using the platforms we have to highlight the issues within our writing in order to grow and learn and be better.

Click the link here to sign (will publish the full thing on here once everyone who wants to has signed the statement). We are also of course completely open to discussion and advice on how to improve this statement, so we can all, as a community, move forward.

Black Lives Matter.

When I first saw Ty Lee’s character design, I was immediately struck by how… not fire nation she looked. Something about her design just seemed different. After a few episodes, it struck me what it was.

She looks more like an airbender.

Most notabe is her airbender eye color, which we only see with Aang and others airbenders in the show. she also has the softer, round face face sbape often seen with Airbenders such as Aang and Jinora. Though this isn’t an 100% pattern (not all airbenders have this face shape and some who aren’t airbenders do), I still think it is a worthwhile point to note. 

What I find so interesting though is that Ty Lee’s skill set is directly tied to air. She’s learned to balance and fly through the hair, laughing at gravity (as Aang jokes). Her belief in auras and listening to the universe also implies a heavy spirituality which we see throughout air nomad culture. 

She also looks suspiciously like Jinora and I am convinced she is their grandmother on their mother’s side but I disgress. 

Appa: DIE BITCH
