A fun reminder that Aang was a terrifyingly powerful Avatar.

Most Avatars are informed of their newfound destinies at the age of 16 to begin their training. Because of the approaching war Aang was told of his status at the age of 12. He had already mastered airbending, and in the span of a year he mastered the other three elements, the avatar state, and energybending. He also learned lightning redirection and seismic sense (a technique no previous Avatar had even encountered). In the span of a year.

This child was a terrifying force of nature.

Beckons through the leaves,

Recently, my son said to me after seeing a ballet on television: ‘It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it.’ And I thought, Are many grown-ups capable of such a distinction? It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it. Usually, our grown-up thinking is more along the lines of: I don’t like it, so it’s not beautiful. What would it mean to separate those two impressions for art making and for art criticism?

He came before Helen’s house. He stood on the ivory steps. He looked upon Helen and brought desire to the eyes that looked back - The Greeks have snatched up their spears. They have pointed the helms of their ships Toward the bulwarks of Troy.

Before people (mostly men who wouldn’t care about Barbie, anyway) lose their shit about this: representation matters, and the existence of this (and other) Barbies doesn’t lessen the importance of whatever Barbie you care about. This is really cool,
