Hi! My name's Carabella. I'm an air bender. No, I'm not one of the monks. Just a wandering entertainer. Would you like to come see the show? ((This is an independent OC RP blog for Avatar: the Last Airbender and Avatar: Legend of Korra. I am up-to-date on both series, though not on the additional comics. Both mun and muse are of age, so there may be some nsfw stuff. Only if my rp partners are willing, though.)) Please read my rules and the page titled "The Air Nomad" before interacting.

TEAM AVATAR II

[lion-turtles]

katara and sokka being direct mirrors of their parents; a water tribe siblings analysis

these two hold a special place in my heart, this is my love letter to them🫶

1. katara

katara, at her core, shares many traits that are similar to her father’s, the most evident being her desire to be a fighter. all her life, she practiced relentlessly to become one even when she barely had any resources, no teacher and almost no hope of improving because giving up was never an option to her. that determination feels so much like hakoda. she is headstrong and motivational, never letting anyone dictate her fate. she’s also driven by her strong moral compass and the love she has for the people she cares about. she won’t hesitate to defend them nor let anything bad happen to them. this mirrors hakoda love for his family as they both evidently have gone to great lengths for the ones they love.

they take great pride in their heritage and culture, even after everything their community lost, neither of them ever stopped loving where they came from or fighting for it. also, they have the same balance of compassion and strength. hakoda is loving, emotionally intelligent and protective but also a warrior capable of making hard choices. katara grows into exactly that kind of person. she becomes the emotional center of team avatar while also becoming one of the most formidable fighters in the show.

katara’s protectiveness comes through strength and confrontation. she refuses to go against her beliefs and morals for anyone. she will always keep moving forward, not allowing anyone to tell her how she should be, driven by her strong need to be there for those in need of help. her courage is built around compassion.

2. sokka

sokka, other than the fact that he is a spitting image of kya, resembles his mother the most due to his self-sacrificial nature and need to protect those he loves by any means necessary. his entire identity revolves around loving his people so deeply that he’ll put himself in harm’s way without hesitation if it keeps them safe. even when he was a child, he felt responsible for everyone around him, being told that his place in the world was to always be present and capable so they can rely on him and that promise shaped him into who he is. he cares deeply and fiercely and takes loss as a personal failure. his humor is rooted in a need to comfort others. he chooses to carry the weight of responsibility and grief quietly and puts himself second over and over again because his loved ones come first, they always do. the thing he knows how to do best even if it means getting the short end of the deal, is the heaviest burden he has to carry.

similar to how kya is the reason katara survived, he is the reason team avatar survived countless times, thanks to his plans and in a lot of ways, sokka becoming someone who brings warmth and safety into every room he enters feels like the southern water tribe’s memory of kya living on through him.

sokka protects through reliability and devotion. through showing up. through making plans, and making sure nobody else has to carry fear alone. that’s why he feels so much like kya to me. his strength is built around care.

3. it’s a blessing to mourn together

katara is strong like the ocean, a guiding force that is constantly moving and adapting, while sokka is reliable like the moon, a safe place that is always there when you need it.

and i just find it so sweet how the traits they admire most about their parents are the same traits they find in each other. sokka relies on katara’s strong moral compass and strength to keep pushing forward, while katara finds comfort in sokka’s constant presence and the safety that gives her, grounding her and helping her push forward.

there are also traits they envy in each other because those traits reflect the parents they are shown to miss most. sokka aspires to be a warrior who keeps moving forward just like his dad, yet he always chooses to go back to protecting his people because they are his priority. that’s why his leadership stems from the unwavering devotion and care for the people dear to him. katara aspires to be an anchor for the people who need her, just like her mom was to her, carrying the emotional weight and responsibility of the people she loves, yet she actively tries to escape and seek more from her life in order to make a change in the world and for herself. that’s why her power stems from her relentless hope for justice.

katara deeply admires her mother’s caring and protective nature, grieving her loss while sokka embodies those same qualities through the way he constantly looks after the people around him and makes them feel safe. in the same way, sokka admires hakoda’s natural inclination toward being a fighter and fighting for his people, qualities katara mirrors through her determination, resilience and refusal to give up no matter how impossible things seem.

Iroh at first thought something was horribly wrong when he saw the knives spit out of his control in the invisible sphere forming before his face, but relaxed when he saw Carabella controlling it. The rosy hue lingering in his cheeks proved stubborn about fading. He knew when he was being given the crook.

He took he knives back with an appreciative nod of the head. "I think I'd prefer to watch; you're all like a well oiled machine up there," he answered, figuring that to be the politest way to decline without engaging in false humility or risking his burgeoning reputation on performing an unfamiliar skill in front of an audience. "What all goes into a proper show of yours? I think i've only seen you performing streetside."

[ayoungairnomad]

Carabella giggled. "Well, I would hope we are, after nearly nearly two decades of working together on these performances--at least, in my case," she acknowledged with some amusement. "I think the Players have been traveling the world for at least a good ten years prior to my joining."

Her smile widened into a properly excited grin at his question. "Why don't you come to tonight's performance, and see for yourself? We don't sell tickets; anyone's welcome to watch if we have room in the audience."

Arrow : season 3 ... sentence starters

"I could have killed you."

"You've taken your last life."

"You asked me to teach you."

"I know you grieve, but so do I."

"No Glocks on the dinner table."

"I don't want to be a woman you love."

"And you love her. You even told her so."

"Don't ask me to say that I don't love you."

"You're going to get me so incredibly fired."

"I never said I didn't know how to use a gun."

"I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't think I can win."

"The only person I'm afraid of right now is you."

"I was angry and hurt. The pain was unbearable."

"You have no idea how powerful the truth can be."

"Lovers. Sounds creepy no matter how you say it."

"Oh, God, that's sick. And not even remotely true!"

"I do not want to kill you. I want you take my place."

"My father may be the demon. But yours is the devil."

"How can you stand there being so cold and rational?"

"You should take pride. You survived longer than most."

"Please don't… don't do what I think you're going to do."

"You should worry more about getting out of here alive."

"You've become… someone else. Become something else."

"I know you're trying to protect me, but I'm not helpless."

"I don't regret a single moment. And you shouldn't either."

"There are people in the world who deal only in extremes…"

"You okay? You look like someone peed in your cornflakes."

"Yes, except now the only person you're fooling is yourself."

"That guy? He said I was just another weapon in your arsenal."

"I can't be with you. I can't be with anyone. I have to be alone."

"This isn't about respect. And it's not about you risking your life."

"Well, that's the thing. With my help, you might not wind up dead."

"Am I being crazy? I mean, what do we have to be nervous about?"

"I don't want to talk. Which, for me, I know is a little unprecedented."

"What were you thinking? Anyone at that party could have seen you!"

"Say it's never going to work out between us. Say you never loved me."

"I was afraid you wouldn't react well to the idea of me taking his money."

"I trusted you. I let you into my life. How could you have done this to me?"

"And I've already seen you shirtless. Multiple times. Shirtless all the time."

"How many more people are going to have to die before you put him down?"

"Do you like Italian? For tonight. You like Italian right? Everyone likes Italian."

"Sometimes bravery isn't enough. Sometimes the world requires us to be bold."

"But there is one thing I need to ask you to do. And you're not going to want to."

"When I'm out in the field, my bow, my arrows, those are just tools. I'm the weapon."

"Sounds to me like he's playing with your head. Question is, why are you letting him?"

"You will be scorned and hunted, and then killed. Dying as you began your crusade. Alone."

"In case you haven't noticed, I am not most girls and I don't need this. Or you. Or any of this."

"Every warrior must learn the simple truth: that pain is inevitable and suffering is optional."

"If you're gonna stand there and tell me I'm not strong enough or tough enough, please don't."

"And if there is anyone who is using adrenaline to hide the pain of real feelings and real life, it's you."

"You tasted death, and you wanted more, but the truth is everyone and everything must come to an end."

"I don't doubt that. I don't doubt that you can beat him. I am terrified that you won't kill him. Because that's not who you are anymore."

"I don't want to feel this pain again. I don't want to hurt or get hurt ever again, and you seem like someone who could teach me how not to."

"Everyone is looking to me to handle things, to make the right decisions. Everyone is looking to me to lead. If I grieve, nobody else gets to."

"You wouldn't have survived, much less come out the other end a hero, somebody who wants to do good, if you didn't have a light inside of you."

"Well, we've already exhausted every topic that one would normally talk about on a first date, and a second date, and a third date, and every date actually."

"Look, you've convinced yourself that everything you've been through took away your humanity. But I think it's because of your humanity that you made it through."

A Beautiful Weapon

@irohthesecond

Continued from this ask

Carabella nodded. “Yup. This one’s more ceremonial than meant for battle, from what I’ve been told, though. It's blunted at the edges, and I think the carvings affect the fan's structural integrity, so using it as a real weapon might break it?” She rubbed at the back of her neck sheepishly. "I found it at a stall in the Earth Kingdom, near Kyoshi Island, but not on the island itself. The vendor didn't really tell me much about how it was made, except that it was made by a Kyoshi warrior and artisan. I just thought it might be something you'd appreciate."

[irohthesecond]

Iroh made a quarter turn to drop into a fighting stance with the fan unfolded; he had heard that Kyoshi style fighting is about using an opponent's force against them, which sounded a lot like Northern Style Waterbending. He walked through a few plays while the acrobat explained its origin. "You're sure I can keep it?"

[ayoungairnomad]

Carabella watched the youngish general's movements as she spoke. They reminded her of some of Lenetta's stances when she was waterbending for a performance or her own practice rather than healing.

She giggled at his query. "Of course you can keep it! I just said I got it because I thought you'd appreciate it, didn't I?"

Besides which, she was not one for fighting except in play and performance. If she was using a fan, it wouldn't be a metal fan, even if said fan was ceremonial rather than a true weapon. All her fans were fabric, paper, or wooden slats.
