(ex) special interest. im back in the fucking building

[bpdsokka]

atla, specifically aang, was my single special interest from ages ~11-20. I completely lost interest in it for several years, but now sometimes I find myself back in the fucking building. so. this side blog. wont say my main blog

I'm going to be honest I have a lot of uncomfortable associations with atla, as it was literally the only thing that got me through my childhood. which is probs why its suddenly back in my life tbh!! currently relieving some pretty bad, deep rooted trauma. thanks dad.

activity will be all over the place. I dont think I'll use this blog much. I'm not caught up on any of the new stuff and atm don't plan on catching up. the og show and lok is what I know, idgaf about the comics or whatever else

[bpdsokka]

to me katara is a trans girl and for a long time identified as a straight girl. and then a bit after the war ends aang offhandedly mentions how he's not A Boy, at least not mostly and not most of the time. and katara goes oooh okay and mentally updates her status from "heterosexual" to "bisexual"

BACK AT IT!!!! i missed drawing the gaang, uni has me busyyy

this is really just a little sketch, i might take it up again and render it more another da, but for now i'm satisfied with how it looks UvU

i'll def try to get more time to post stuff, but if not, i may just start posting my uni projects since i spend my life doing them lmao

My kuzzang thoughts…

I had the great honour and pleasure of working on the cover of the latest @atlazine. And, as it happens, on the inner cover as well. Thank you for this opportunity 💖

I am very fond of this project and I am consistently impressed by the moderators' organisation and the talent of the artists involved in each edition!

Leftover sales are still open and can be found [here].

kicks my feet. i think it would've been really interesting to see aang's relationships with people who were close to roku, similar to how korra has a close relationship with katara and aang's kids etc etc

I know this wasn't a thing because of the actual story, but I still think it'd be interesting. pretend sozin's comet was still years away when he first found out he was the avatar, pretend he didn't run away and get himself frozen. what if he got to meet ta min, roku's wife? I like to think they'd be close

what if he met sozin? sozin, who has yet to show his true intentions to the world, who pretends that roku's death was a tragic accident. would aang be uneasy, instincts screaming at him, without knowing why? how would sozin react to him? would ta min watch them together, knowing? idk man. it'd be cool to explore

I wish there were was a scene or two where it is Sokka who has to pull Aang out of the avatar state frenzy.

Maybe Katara isn’t around for some reason (dealing with an active threat or she was just too far away) and it's Sokka that has to step up. because I do like the gradual growth of his reaction of aang in the avatar state going from complete fear to not leaving the area to stay with aang and I think it would have been a nice ed to have him be the one to pull aang out of it one time.

Not because I want to undermine Kataang because they are great. I do not want to ship sokka and Aang. But I just think it would have really added another layer to Sokka and Aang’s friendship besides them being silly and having fun together. I don’t think they really have any introspective moments with just each other like taht and I think one or 2 scenes like this would have deepened their friendship immensely (not that’s it’s not already great!)

Just Sokka deciding that Katara’s not here and Aang needs help now and so he’s got to do it. Every instinct he has is telling him to back away but he’s got to push through because Aang is his best friend, his brother and he’s not going to leave him.

I just think that would have been a nice little bow on their friendship arc with sokka being the more distrusting and harder to win over of the siblings. Like Kind of the inverse of Zuko and Katara’s friendship.

Like can you just imagine Sokka going; “ I got you buddy, I got you I’m right here” as he grips Aang tightly because he’s not the best at comforting words and and so all he can do is hold Aang close and remind him that he’s there that he’ll always be there for him.

I think that would’ve have been amazing.

as old traumas get dredged up with new events, old special interests that saw you through it all get dredged up too.

aang has been on my mind a lot. very complicated and muddy feelings. hello friend, I wish I could leave you completely behind. thank you for everything you did for me.

i funnelled absolutely everything I was going through, through this boy to the point where he already kinda lives in the back of my brain permanently

Headcanon that sokka is always very affectionate but doubles it down when they're in his village

so heres some sketches of clingy sokka with the Gaang all in the Southern Water Tribe hehe
