i knew a surgeon and he once told me “nobodys insides look like how the textbooks say they will. you never know what you’re going to find in there once you open them up” and that was easily the most ominous thing anyone’s ever said to me

when i was taking my first year anatomy lab, we’d occasionally find a cadaver where things would branch off or attach in the wrong order, and when we’d ask our prof about it, he’d just shrug and say “they must not have read the book”

When my friend was in med school one of the cadavers donated for them to autopsy didn't have a belly button, just smooth skin.

dandelion-stuff-and-fluff

In the past 10 years of teaching in an anatomy lab, I have seen:

- A donor with a scrotum the size of my head. When we opened it up, we discovered it was a MASSIVE inguinal hernia and a good 1.5 ft of intestine were trapped down there.

- A donor with situs inversus totalis, whose organs were a mirror image of what we normally see (ie their heart pointed right and their liver was on the left, just for starters)

- A donor whose right common carotid artery branched off the aorta waaay over on the left hand side of the body and crossed alllll the way back across the thorax to get where it needed to be.

- A donor with 4 lobes for their right lung (should only be 3). We named the 4th lobe the Lisa Loeb, but all of the students were too young to appreciate our sparkling wit.

- A shocking variety of penile and breast implants. Y'all would not believe the number of different ways science has come up to counteract gravity.

- A couple of cases of ectopic kidneys, where a kidney didn't rise to its typical position just deep to the lowest ribs and instead stayed in the pelvis.

There is probably some other stuff that I am forgetting. Take home point is: the human body is weird and wonderful and you should learn more about yours!

My contribution: client co pinched nerve in L side of neck. I asked about health hx; she said, “I've got some extra ribs on that side.”

me: “some?” (!!!!!??!?!??!???)

Some was 2, but that’s crazy enough.

Yeah, I don't discover the anatomical weirdness but I've had clients come in with extra ribs, missing ribs, extra vertebra, accessory muscles (that's when you have duplicates - sometimes fine, sometimes not), bones connected where they shouldn't be (spoiler: if your lumbar spine is connected to your hip, it Causes Problems), all sorts of stuff. Bodies are weird!

Instead of "live laugh love" or "home is where the heart is" my (wonderful, progressive, very accepting) dad put up the racism sign in the foyer

kermitwillsellyoueggs

whats the racism sign?

hjartasalt

The racism sign, as I like to call it, is from an art piece I made halfway through my first semester of art school:

It reads "any attempted theft will be reported to the police" in the 15 most commonly spoken languages by immigrants here other than English or other western european languages (in descending order).

This sign was only half of the art piece, the other half was the most stereotypically Icelandic painting I could think of:

When the piece was shown the painting and the sign were hung on opposite sides of the room, making the sign more of an afterthought for those who don't speak any of the languages written on the sign. Standing out just enough for them to notice it and maybe wonder what it said, but ultimately not giving it a second thought for the most part.

I wanted to highlight one of the most common ways racism and xenophobia present themselves here as well as the comfort of ignorance. The sign doesn't cater to you, you ignore it it, and you don't care what it might say. You don't have to think about it because it doesn't affect you.

For those who can read the sign though, or bother to translate it, this is just yet another reminder of people's ignorance and double standards. My inspiration for this piece came from my old workplace, where they had this sign hanging on one of the doors:

The main things that stood out about this to me were that

It was the only sign on the premises written in anything other than Icelandic and/or English

All of the additional languages (Vietnamese, Polish, Lithuanian, Latvian) specifically targeted minority groups that already face discrimination here

The location of the sign. We only had 1 of these, and they chose to put it up somewhere where only staff would see it rather than the customers. In fact, it was right next to the break room so you had to walk past it every time you went on break. And it was a sign reminding people not to steal. Big win for inclusivity here

People love saying that we're not racist/xenophobic here even though we very much are. The problem is just that so many people don't take the time to look when it doesn't directly affect them. I was very happy with my piece because people actually came up to me and asked what the sign said because they wanted to know, it started a conversation and made those previously unaware of this issue more aware. I wonder if these sorts of signs would be anywhere near as commonplace as they are if more people looked at them critically and asked "why is this the thing we bother translating?"

Anyway, all that aside I love my dad and I like the way this art piece turned out but also I am slightly worried about giving people the wrong idea when this is the first thing they see when they enter our home 💀

hjartasalt

Well if you want my permission to show it then you have it :))

upmala

with great regret i must inform you that there is a typo in the Latvian translation, so it actually says “any attempted theft will be reported to poland”

hjartasalt

I found out while working on this that it is extremely difficult to get 15 fully accurate translations into languages you don't speak in the span of a week but this is killing me 💀

Y'know, if a formerly well-behaved straight A student suddenly starts almost not passing their classes and crying all the time and getting into trouble, maybe the default conclusion from every authority figure should not be that they are lazy and simply need to pull themselves together. Maybe instead you should give them stimulants or HRT or let them kill their parents and see if one of those three things resolves the issue.

GOD i wish they kept katara's burn scars from aang's mistake

I agree.

demaparbat-hp

This AU is already wonderful but... What if Zuko thought he was the one who burned Katara's hands?

He notices her scars for the first time during his search for the Avatar, a few weeks after she got them. But he doesn't pay any attention to Katara during the fight, not really. It isn't until the Siege of the North that he truly sees the scars on her hands, and realises that they weren't there before (her hands had been soft and unblemished during the pirates incident, not like this, rough and darker and achingly familiar).

When did this happen? Was it during one of their battles? Was one of his men responsible? Or did somebody else do it? There is no doubt in his mind that these are bending scars, after all.

Zuko wonders, after the North, if he gave them to her.

He has always been careful with his bending, regardless of the rage and desperation that fuel his battles with the Avatar. He knows what being burned and forced to carry a constant reminder of the flames is like—he's incapable of causing such pain to anyone, not even an enemy.

But what if he already has?

It's a sickening thought, and it chases him during his travels through the Earth Kingdom, adding weight to his guilt. He tries to hold on to the thought that maybe, just maybe, somebody else burned the waterbender, and he isn't to blame. But time passes and he witnesses and does many terrible, beautiful things...

So he decides to carry the responsibility for the burns on the waterbender's hands. It doesn't matter anymore if it wasn't him who burned her—he might as well have.

When they meet again under the Crystal Catacombs of Ba Sing Se, he listens. She blames him for everything that is wrong in her life, and he accepts her rage, because he knows he can't defend himself against her. He doesn't want to.

He can be the face of the enemy. He's already a monster, after all.

(Father would be proud.)

But then she offers to heal him.

Him.

Doesn't she know he could be the one who burned her? Doesn't she care for all the stupid, horrible things he has done to her and her kin? Doesn't she see the ruthlessness and hate coursing through his blood?

Doesn't she care?

But then she's touching his scar with her burned hands and she's reaching for the blessed water and he can't do this.

"Don't."

She stops.

"Why? Don't you want to be free of your scar?"

"Use the water to heal yourself. I deserve to carry the weight of my sins, but you don't have to."

There's silence, and Zuko tries to tear himself apart from her touch, to get away from her and from the Catacombs and from the world. But her scarred, beautiful self reaches out for him again. Katara holds his face with her burned hands and gently forces him to look at her.

Flesh on flesh, scar on scar, they meet.

And somehow he knows what she's going to say next.

"Zuko, you didn't do this."

Then the Avatar arrives.

flowersadida

First of all, great art. The tenderness of the touch of two traumatized people is conveyed in such a way that I myself feel Katara’s fingertips on my cheek and palm on my chin. Are you a wizard?

Secondly, a great description that made me believe for a second that it was canon.

I also read the hashtags and want to comment on the AU itself. Let's start with the fact that the idea of scars on Katara's arms is genius in itself. A visual reminder of a mistake always works better than having a character remember it out of plot necessity. For example, this scene would have looked much worse if Katara had scars from Aang's previous burn, I would have looked at the emotions that followed it.

Plus, it would work to parallel them with Zuko: while Zuko has a reminder of his mistake literally carved into his face, Aang has it carved into the arms of a loved one. This is a very nice detail that strengthens their bond as hero and villain.

Regarding your addition to this AU, I really like that the scars affect not only Aang, but also Zuko as a direct bearer. I like how having it in Katara's arms continues the theme of the harm of fire in people's lives and is the final stage in this arc.

Overall, I see the scene in the catacombs as the culmination of Zuko's journey. He observed a lot: somewhere it was pain and suffering of people, somewhere it was deprivation, somewhere it was love and care, somewhere it was hope - and all this educated him during the season. And in the catacombs he meets a person who unites all this in himself - Katara.

Therefore, it's logical that in addition to all this, Zuko will also encounter trauma from fire as an element in her. The phasing is obvious:

1. He gets burned by his father and becomes bitter;

2. He sees the burns of the enslaved side and learns empathy again;

3. He meets Katara at the end of the journey and displays his previously acquired final form of empathy as a result of the journey.

Therefore, the reaction you describe to this trauma is invaluable because it creates the missing piece of the puzzle in this chain. And perhaps this would have greatly influenced Zuko's decision in the season two finale.

However, personally, it seems to me that he would still choose his father. He's too attached to the love he desires to notice the love he was going towards. An attachment that keeps him on this earth and doesn't allow him to connect with cosmic energy, something like that.

But scars on Katara's arms would have given the connection to her even more meaning in the moment, so Zuko's suffering at the beginning of season 3 could have been significantly worse.

You're right, it's full of angst, but I like it. Down with the weird filler atmosphere of the season trying to pretend that everything is fine. I want soul-searching, and your AU opens the way to it

This addition is amazing.

That drawing is hauntingly beautiful, and I'm so intrigued by this AU! If I may share some thoughts, please: The first thought that came to mind for me was - What kept Katara from healing herself in the first place when she was burnt, and how does that impact her moving forward? In the show, Katara heals herself after running away from Sokka and Aang, so what if in this AU, Aang and/or Sokka go after her, and she doesn't get the chance to put her hands in the water because they work to treat her burns in a non-bender manner? That I think would set-up some really interesting development for her moving forward.

In the series, it seems like we largely see waterbenders having to use their hands in order to bend, so having injured, and then healing/scarring over, hands could negatively impact Katara's growing abilities as a bender for the remainder of Season 1. It's likely that Katara would continue trying to learn because she's driven, but she would have to work twice as hard for the progress we see her making in her abilities. Having to work so much harder would be a solid narrative tie-in with Zuko's disclosure that he was not a bending prodigy as a child but instead has had to work extra hard to become a powerful and skilled bender.

Additionally, once she gets to the North Pole, not knowing that she has healing abilities (abilities that she might have been able to use to heal her hands) could make for some more interesting dynamics with regard to the very gendered roles of the North Pole. A Katara who wants to learn to be a master waterbender (to be able to fight like her father and to also have been able to protect her mother) still works in this AU, but based on her healing journey we might have seen her struggling even more in her battle with Pakku, and we also might have seen a Katara who, because of her own experiences, was also interested in healing - not just because she's a girl, and it is therefore expected of her, but because this Katara would personally know that healing, like fighting, is a form of rebellion against the dangers of the Fire Nation (and fire itself).

I also think that learning about healing after it is too late for her to heal herself, would be a fascinating exercise in working through the heartbreak of not having known that at the time Aang burned her, wonder at the ability itself, and working towards acceptance and maintaining a positive view of self. That growing to accept her scars could be something we got to see her do after the Norther Pole, particularly after the transition into the Earth Kingdom's Upper Ring, where we see Katara having some of her first experiences of being pretty and painted-up for society (and herself). I also love the idea of Toph being totally cool with Katara's scars (not only because Toph doesn't care about that sort of thing, but also because they make Katara even more easily identifiable, by touch, to Toph).

Now, that work on acceptance isn't to say that Katara wouldn't take the blessed water and occasionally consider using it on herself, but Katara is someone that we repeatedly see believing in herself and being cared for by those around her (though we could have seen it more often throughout the series). Sokka would be extra protective for a time, but he'd also come to tell her about scars being considered impressive amongst Water Tribe warriors, telling her that they are a sign that she'd survived something significant. Aang would take time to forgive himself, but he'd be more mindful in the future, more aware that his actions have consequences. For Katara, that could be a silver lining, and an olive branch for addressing the physical and emotional hurt she felt as a result of his carelessness. As stated above, Toph wouldn't really care and would still probably call her "sugar queen" for kicks and giggles.

By the time we reach the Crystal Catacombs, therefore, Katara's hands might still hurt, and her bending might not be as strong as it would be if she hadn't been harmed, but she is largely at a place of peace with herself, her body, and her appearance. Zuko, however, who thinks he has caused her such significant pain, who has himself known so much pain, who unlike Katara has never known the love and approval of a father and sibling, and has shut himself off from the one source of love and care he's had in his life in the last three years is a different story. Katara recognizes that pain in him, and offers to use the spirit oasis water on him not out of a sense of self-sacrifice but from a place of healing herself. Offering to heal him (in more ways than just physically) is the ultimate act of accepting herself as she is and will now continue to be.

@demaparbat-hp, This is just such a great AU! I spent over an hour writing this, so thank you so much to you and @flowersadida for sharing your thoughts on it and to the anonymous person who prompted your drawing for it. You have all inspired me!

demaparbat-hp

First of all—I may or may not have shed a tear at this. It's beautiful, and bittersweet, and a very thoughtful addition to Katara's journey.

Initially, Katara did try to heal her hands, and succeeded to a degree (repairing the damaged nerves and speeding the healing process, for example)—but instinct could only take her so far, so both the scars and limitation of movement remained.

Waterhealing must have limitations. It must be learned, like a language, like real medicine, and no matter how much raw talent you have—that means nothing unless you know what you're doing.

However, your idea that Katara didn't get to discover she could heal in time, for something as simple as not being alone at the moment, is heartbreaking and bittersweet and, Agni, I love it.

You've explained the ramifications such an incident would have, and it fits really well with the themes of this Book, this series and Katara's character in general. How healing Zuko's scar is her way to finally heal herself broke me.

Thank you for such a wonderful addition, and for the time and effort that went into this. I really hope more people will see this and feel compelled to add to this AU.
