' "The sea did not want me. If you do not want me, maybe Peri will." '

From The Changeling Sea by Patricia A. McKillip.

Summer is finally here! And with it, is this thought: Do you know how Ty Lee has the Kyoshi Warriors? What if... What if Mai has the Freedom Fighters? *twiddles my thumbs*

This started from an idea of non-benders opening up an academy... and then I'm not sure what happened...

Good morning, "I-Rise-With-The-Sun." (Some Zuko sketches under the cut...)

Of course, I've been seeing a lot of ATLA on my timeline (because the craziest thing happened?!?!?) and since I've only seen the news about the film and I'm currently brooding about animal companions, I wanted to draw Appa for some comfort. (A big Appa and a small "appa!" that the Gaang presumably find). I'd like to think flying bison are like mola mola (sunfish), in which they start out really small and then grow relatively very large.

Sleep has been a bit difficult these days... and receiving work-related emails at 1am certainly doesn't help! And so, here I am using my life as a story prompt!

"Humans change so much, so fast... I don't know if I can keep up anymore."

The Witch of the Household Essentials Aisle looked at the plastic brooms, the flashing prices displayed on the small digital screens, at the one good coin in her palm, and then clenched a fist of paper money.

A part of me may always enjoy magic school stories, but another part now wonders if the instructors are also overworked and underpaid there...

Anyway! Kvothe must have his lute.

How else can I differentiate him?

The Origins of Romantasy: Dernhelm (Éowyn) and the Witch-King of Angmar ⋆˙⟡ I'd write the essay, but...

Following through with the idea of Faramir and Éowyn taking Gollum in, which would naturally result in an insert-some-kind-of-trope uncle situation. And then, Boromir and Theodred would join Sméagol and Éomer after whatever vacation they've been having. So many uncles! Everyone's an uncle!

Wednesday was a series of frustrating events at work, including someone coughing right into my face. It spawned this hypothetical scene that may or may not have me wonder if Faramir and Éowyn would take in Gollum at some point in this crack AU concoction of mine...
