Go to this wheel. And get yourself an enby/trans name.

Rules and notes:

You may spin three times. Every spin forfeits the previous name spun.

You can shorten the name for convenience.

Search online what the name is/whom or what it belongs to before completely going down for it.

Reblog if you wanna see what fucked up names your mutuals will get.

Avatar Yumi and her Yunit!

Art by the wonderful @ube-kun!

Avatar Yumi is the Avatar OC that I've been spinning around in my head for the last 9 years. My original concept for the Earthbending Avatar after Korra.

I call her story Avatar: The Broken Earth

The story goes like this:

75 years after Kuvira's defeat, the Earth Continent is divided between a number of states, most of which are ruled by authoritarian governments. And the most despotic of them all is Shield Island, an isolationist military dictatorship off the eastern coast of the continent.

15 years old Yumi has been a patriotic citizen of Shield Island ever since she joined the training academy to become a bodyguard to the island's Supreme Commander. But the course of her life changes when she finds out she is the Avatar, the sworn enemy of the state, the person she was indoctrinated since birth to hate.

Now she must flee the only home she's ever known and drift from place to place as a refugee, looking for safety. Along the way she meets new friends who will help her on her journey.

Andon is a carefree guy. A firebender from the lower ring of Ba Sing Se who's practiced in the ways of the road. He offers to become Yumi's guide and the two travel together.

Yonten is the great-great-granddaughter of Aang and proud of it. A rather arrogant airbender who cares deeply about a lot of things, which goes against her people's philosophy of detachment.

Reza is an industrious and polite young boy. Very smart but also very ignorant about a lot of things since he came from a sheltered home. That sheltered home being the mobile imperial palace of the Second Earth Empire, where he was the emperor.

Wy is a waterbender from the Foggy Swamp Tribe. A weirdo even by her own people's standards, she likes to dabble in the dangerous and off-putting. She rejected the path decided for her and chose to be an apprentice to an apothecary that many (including Wy) call a witch.

Likai is Yumi's animal guide. A spider-cat stray who lived around the bodyguard academy's grounds. He would always come back even when told to go away. He is the last connection Yumi has to her home. His name literally means "go away".

[I.D.: A five panel black and white digital comic with a supplicant and a sage. The supplicant on their knees says "Oh, all-knowing sage, grant me your wisdom!" The sage, floating ominously says "Stop taking twelve Advil a day"

"Boo!" replies the supplicant. Then the sage takes out a box of Advil and a ox of Tylenol and hands them to the supplicant. "Instead, alternate between Advil and Tylenol. They work through different mechanisms, so they are safe to take together."

"Oh!" says the supplicant, now smiling. The sage holds up a finger, saying "Never go over the recommended daily maximum for any OTC drugs. Overuse of Advil can cause stomach and liver issues; overuse of Tylenol can damage your kidneys. Always speak to a physician before combining prescription strength drugs." End I.D.]

you have the kidney/liver backwards. advil and other nsaids cause kidney damage and tylenol causes liver damage

[ID: a two panel black and white comic. The sage dramatically says "the all-knowing sage does not make mistakes!" but then points to a hastily scribbled, sobbing artist and says "but the idiot drawing them does." The artist says "sorry!!!" while hunched over their desk. End ID]

The all-knowing sage is restricted by their medium and the artist is very very srry!!!!!!!!

PLEASE REBLOG THIS VERSION AND THANK YOU SAILOR-LAPIS-LAZULI

cryptotheism

Against that, what do you prefer? If not the whole “belief gives them power,” is there a favored alternative

I just wish people put more thought into what it means to have divinities in their worlds. When Pratchett is doing his whole secular humanist bit, it's because he's lampooning the previous 50 years of Tolkien-copying sword and sorcery nonsense, and it's conservative obsession with the divine right of kings. Now people copy his stuff without understanding what he was responding to or iterating on it in an interesting way.

It is rare that fictional theology really wows me. The best theology for a work is whatever fits for that work. Personal favorites recently have been K6BD, because it's a kung fu movie about the idea of divinity, written by someone who enjoys theology. And Disco Elyseum's Innocents, which is imo a truly original take on religion and it's relationship to politics and history.

cryptotheism

Gods being powered by belief is a theoretically interesting idea but 99% of the time it's used for either A Joke or to explain why a character can go super sayin.
