Bloodbros, A Timeline (Fan Art Collab)

Day 3 - Runaway

Artist: superbbouquettree

A gorgeous and desolate look into Noatak’s lost days after the blizzard. Love the attention to detail in this piece - the puffin’s realistic features, Noatak’s icy eyes, the frigid landscape and the unforgiving sun. What sort of journey awaits him? A story left untold...

Bloodbros, A Timeline (Fan Art Collab)

Day 2 - Training (Part One)

Artist: ahhfear

ahhfear leans into a melancholy color palette in their grim portrait of Noatak, Tarrlok and Yakone as the brothers practice bloodbending on the wolves in the tundra. Such great compositional choices here - Yakone’s large, intense form covers a significant portion of the frame (including Noatak). Noatak stares out in numbness, dwarfed by his father's corrupting presence. The smallest and most innocent of the bunch, Tarrlok, is the only one sensing the true horror manifesting in front of them. Great work!

Can you draw Amon and Tarrlok?

Actually I can!

[okthatsgreat]

“ooohhhh this teenage girl character is so annoyinggg because she didn’t react to extreme stress in a way that was reasonable or what i consider to be normal oooooooohh” well i’m launching the missile

[doomface]

TLOK AU Where it’s revealed that Senna (Korra’s mom) is the younger sister of Noatak/Amon and Tarrlok. Korra having to reconcile with the fact that both sides of her family are unhinged like no wonder her parents didn’t give her any siblings. Also finding out she’s the granddaughter of Yakone??

I think there would be some opportunities for juicy family drama in this AU. Plus it would give more for Senna to do too. I’d love to hear what other people think though.

As an aside in this AU it would be kinda funny that both Tonraq and Senna would be from the North only to settle in the South because of family issues.

I believe you mentioned that Tarrlok has a physical labor job, how do his coworkers react to this tiny kid working construction or whatever his job is?

GREAT QUESTION!!! and you’re absolutely right i did say that! i feel like it would feel nice for him to work his own body and not think so much about other people’s

i do think he gets some weird looks at first, but that’s not what he does intentionally, intentionally he stays home and hunts for food (so they can save money) then sells their extras.

so they already know him a little bit, he’s not very talkative. so they see this haunted looking kid who makes WAAAAY too much eye contact who they’ve only ever seen selling meat at the market (really tarrlok sells them, he just stands there scarily, they’re working on it) and so they are like almost kinda curious what’s up with him and hearing him talk to them even if it’s just a little bit.

what i have in my head almost reminds me of the nice man from zuko alone. he’s like “damn this kid is clearly dealing with something, give him a hammer so he can thwack it out” and i feel like some of the guys probably feel that way! then some are probably more weirded out by him.

i like to think they start treating him as “one of the boys” and i find that really silly like some guy ribbing his buddies then there’s noatak with the thousand yard stare.

Is Noa getting a love interest or what

hello!! sorry it’s taken so long for me to answer this! i don’t imagine either of them getting romantic interests in my au but that mostly because im focused on their relationship with eachother!

i don’t really have much interest in romantic relationships but i do think it would be nice for him to have a friend or a relationship outside of tarrlok. in the flashbacks he clearly struggled with a lot of apathy and connection after the experience of their bloodbending training so i think building a relationship that isn’t preexisting like his with tarrlok would be good for him!

[nextpageyaoi]

Seeing Amon’s eyes from under his mask just adds to how terrifying he is and I don’t entirely know why. I think it’s just scary to see that he’s looking directly at you and is about to fuck your shit up.

He’s already intimidating and scary enough with how fast and strong he is, and with his bloodbending, he might as well have the ability to read your mind, so you lose the fight before it begins. But seeing his eyes just makes him more sinister

Aaaaaaaaannnnnd it’s concerning how hot I find this 💀

He’s so attractive mask on AND off, but for completely different reasons. Mask off= a beautiful fucking gorgeous bastard. Mask on= “Well mark me down as scared AND horny”

Fucking look at this freak

I hate that he’s definitely fully aware just how scary he is

(Especially when he’s up against Korra for the first time at Aang’s statue. That scenes freaks me out A LOT for multiple reasons, but one of the biggest ones is just how intense his eyes are. Doesn’t help that the animators took the time to draw his irises)

Anyways, he does have his moments where he’s kinda cute because he just reminds me of a cat due to how dark his eyes are. It reminds me of when a cat’s pupils widen, especially whenever they’re interested in something

He’s just a little guy sometimes and I hate that for him

They can try, and spend absurd amounts of money, and they might even make absurd amounts of money back, but we all know the real metric of cultural relevance.

[In reference to Tarrlok's and Noatak's mentality during their murder-suicide] "We did wrong. To live a meaningful life the way we want, we need to exit" -Dee Bradley Baker

Interesting! Many ways to interpret this quote...😉

Edit: JANET VARNEY DID A CALLOUT DEMANDING MORE TARRLOK COSPLAYS! LETSGOOOOO TIME TO GET FIT FOR THE ROLE BAYBEEEE

Edit2: JANET ASKED FOR MORE TARRLOK MERCHANDISE TO BE MADE LIKE SHIRTS AND PATCHES OH MY GOD TARRLOK BROTHERS AND SISTERS SHE IS PUTTING WORK FOR US THIS IS AMAZING AAAHHHGHH ❤️ JANET

Edit3: Janet said Tarrlok is "in a better place now", but heaven isn't canon to the avatarverse. So where is he? Is he vibing in the spirit world or reincarnated with Noatak and chilling with some new family right now?? So curious what that means, LOL

New Blood Brothers Blog!!!

Hey guys, @BloodBendingBrosEnjoyer here. This is the blog I will be using for uploading the Noatak & Tarrlok art collab that is due at the end of August. I will also periodically upload the artwork of several industry professionals I commissioned to draw the Blood Brothers. Please follow if you're interested!

And to those involved in the art collab, you can continue to DM me on this account or contact [email protected] for continued coordination on the collab!

Thank you everyone for your patience! Got some fun stuff to post soon! P.S. I'm still shadowbanned on my main account due to accidentally triggering the spam bot. Apparently there's an 8 month turnaround time for getting unbanned due to tumblr staff layoffs, so I might not upload art there for a while. We'll see.

PLEASE REBLOG TO SPREAD THE WORD

TARRLOK STANS

A few Tarrlok fans and I are on a campaign to get Tarrlok added to the Avatar Legends: Realms Collide Mobile Game. It would be the first time Tarrlok gets official content since his debut in 2012!!

According to the Moderator in charge of gathering game suggestions, THE NUMBER OF UPVOTES DRAMATICALLY INCREASES PRIORITY CONSIDERATION BY THE DEVELOPERS

So we are asking you take a moment to GIVE A TARRLOK REQUEST POST A THUMBS UP!

To do so:

1. JOIN THE AVATAR REALMS COLLIDE OFFICIAL DISCORD

2. SCROLL DOWN TO THE "game-suggestions" channel (it's at the very bottom)

3. SCROLL UP TO FIND THE LATEST POSTS THAT REQUEST TARRLOK AND GIVE THEM A THUMBS UP! (there may be multiple, so you can either thumbs up all of them or prioritize the highest number)

That's it! The numbers aren't tallied until Monday, so we have a whole week to gather votes. Please take a second to do so. If you went ahead and did it, feel free to let me know. I'll happily draw free Tarrlok sketches for anyone who voted! Thanks for reading! Let's show Nickelodeon we want more official Tarrlok content! 💪

[bloodbendingbrosenjoyer]

UPDATE:

We got word that Tarrlok does not currently have the greenlight for development and the moderators emphasized that Tarrlok NEEDS a lot of reactions to get greenlit for development. Based on prev reactions, we likely need at least 20 thumbs up emoji to be taken into serious consideration!

Please take two minutes to follow the steps above. Give thumbs up to the discord comment shown in the image! Let's get Tarrlok his first official content! Thank you for your time!
