✨SIX YEARS OF KORRASAMI ✨

It’s technically the 19th here so

An attempt at a full piece with background for the sixth anniversary of Korrasami - them holding hands was so significant and paved the way for more representation in cartoons and I hope no one forgets that <3333

The moment people were like “oh shit water benders”

[el-aurian-deactivated20200313]

I really loved this episode though, it was an established theme in the show that firebenders are associated with death and waterbenders are associated with life and healing, and up to this point it all seemed so clear-cut, because fire obviously destroys everything in its path while water can put out fires and heals, as we’ve seen particularly in Katara’s case with her natural healing ability.  

Then we meet Hama, who due to years of torture and hatred has found a way to turn the classic gentler waterbending ways into a weapon of destruction and manipulation, and honestly I can’t think of a better way to introduce people to the fact that things are never as clear cut as they seem.  We’ve thought of waterbenders as the good guys up until this point, so it’s jarring to find out that no, despite stereotypes and traditions, there are always going to be good and bad people in every culture/group, but that’s the point of the entire show.

It’s revisited later too when Aang and Zuko find the Sun Warriors who teach them firebending is not just about death and destruction, but also about bringing warmth to the earth and making plants grow and both Aang and Zuko needed to hear that they weren’t just instruments of destruction and gain confidence from the idea of using firebending to create life and I love it I love this show so much.

I’ve said this roughly 1,000 times on this blog, but I think this show is a masterpiece of narrative. They establish characters and cultures that any other show would codify and then turn their own concept on its ear in believeable ways time and time again. Really exceptional.

in m. night’s movie they replaced actual Chinese characters that were readily available and shown in literally every single episode with gibberish nonsense that is also high key ugly

here’s the link to the the OP

They weren’t just inaccurate to the show, they went out of their WAY to be as inaccurate in general as possible. Dammit, M. Night.

Hey Guys, you know what I just realized?

At the end of Book 2 of LoK, Korra loses her connection to her past lives. She’s totally cut off from them even in the Avatar State, right?

Well Avatar Roku describes the Avatar State as “the combination of all [the Avatar’s] past lives”, meaning that when it is triggered, the Avatar has all the strength, wisdom, and skills of all the past Avatars. That’s why it’s so powerful, isn’t it?

Well, when Rava was destroyed and Korra lost her connection to her past lives, shouldn’t that logically mean that she loses her connection to all of their skills and strength? So all this:

(x)

That was all Korra and Rava.

SO MANY PEOPLE CALL KORRA A WEAK AVATAR

ARE YOU CALLING THIS WEAK, YOU LIMP PRUNES

[sirfrogsworth]

This might require an encyclopedic knowledge of Avatar characters to understand, but it’s pretty hilarious if you fall into that category.
