Iroh: so Toph, what are your goals in life?

Toph: I’ve been banned from every major city’s transportation system except Omashu

Toph: I don’t know what their limit is but I will fucking find it 

[probsjosh]

King Boomie, having exactly zero limits:

Unstoppable object meets immovable force

[gaangarang]

[Toph eventually slips up and is captured by the city guard force. Instead of being imprisoned or exiled, Toph finds herself being given audience with the King of Omashu.]

Bumi: Well, well, well. It seems I have finally met the troublemaker who has been causing such chaos with my rail systems.

Toph:…

Bumi: I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with your earthbending abilities. You remind me of myself when I was a lad.

Toph: Get to the point.

Bumi: I see great potential in you, Toph Beifong. I want you inherit my title once I am no longer fit to rule.

Toph: Wait what the fuck

[out-there-on-the-maroon]

Why wasn’t this Toph’s future instead of becoming a freaking cop. This would have made so much more sense. 

[gallusrostromegalus]

My favorite part of this is “when I am no longer fit to rule” because

1. Implying Bumi was fit to rule at any point

1.1 except maybe in the sense that he was completely shredded

2. That he has no plans to die, (nor would death necessarily make him unfit to rule), but that he apparently intends to like. Tuck his arms and legs into himself and just roll off into the sunset.

3. Given that the Earth Kingdom has an actual ruling family that causes some drama in LoK, Toph continuing to cause monarchy confusion is both 100% in character and fucking hilarious.

[definitelynotaminion]

Toph takes over as King Bumi the second and everyone is like “no that’s not how inheriting works” and Bumi is like “No no she’s right, I did say “inherit my title!”

[aromantic-angel]

When toph is no longer fit to rule, she instills bumi (Aang’s son) as her heir and he is known as bumi 3.

[catflowerqueen]

Her first act as ruler is to ban herself from Omashu’s transportation system, thus fulfilling one of her life goals.

hold on a fucking second. delaware is a state?? i thought it was a river? or is the river more important than the state? why don't i know this? (i should mention i don't like in america, i'm just confused)

there is delaware (state) and delaware (river) 

both are equally strange

the state is a tiny little cryptid thing

the rive is a monster that spans new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware. also washington crossed it once and that was like kinda a big deal i guess. like crossing the rubicon in rome.

the state tries to me more important with its “im the first state!!!” bs (seriously its even on the fucking license plates) but we all know. its the river.

[dear-ao3]

Okay, I know how bullshit this story sounds but bear with me:

My mother used to do fortune telling at renfairs, mostly palmistry and tarot readings but she would bring a crystal ball for set dressing (apparently crystal scrying “takes too fucking long”). It being outdoors meant the sun was shining and managed to refract through the crystal ball in such a way that one of the cards began to smoulder slightly. I’m not talking spontaneous combustion “oh god the fortunate teller’s tent is burning down”, but more a noticeable plume of smoke rising from one of the cards. The customer was very surprised and asked, “Whoa! The card’s burning! What does that mean?!” and my mother said, “It means I shouldn’t have put that crystal ball there.”

i understand from an artistic perspective why the four nations are color coded but imagine if that was just like...a thing in real life. like if you went to canada and everyone was wearing purple and you just had to live with that.

[ophiliaanne]

it was a thing in real life too!! cultures that were very isolated would only have access to dyestuffs native to their area

my favorite example is the aran islands in ireland. they were self sufficient at the start of the 20th century and everyone pretty much wore the same things in the same colors—women wore madder red wool petticoats and jackets, blue stockings, and tartan shawls. men wore several layers of undyed or blue flannel waistcoats and pants. so yeah, some cultures actually do the color-coding!

and also! the colors in atla make sense! most vibrant red dyes are native to tropical regions, and the fire nation is shown to be very hot and humid

woad (blue) is particularly cold hardy so it’s perfect for the polar water tribes

the best greens are usually made of a combination of a blue and a yellow dye so it works for earth kingdom aka the largest nation. more land=more native plant species!

and as for air nomads, since they aren’t agricultural and are all about balance, they would either trade with earth kingdom for their yellows, or use turmeric which doubles as a spice. theyre also vegetarian so they could use their leftover scraps like carrots and onion skins for orange tones

so yeah i know the point of the post was to say this would be really weird irl but it’s totally realistic and i think that’s neat!

[skypalacearchitect]

#im sorry i just really love clothing trivia

#also certain mollusks can make blues too but i just love woad

#this also explains why the swamp benders in the earth kingdom wear green
