Avatar God AU (Southern Gods)

I know I've literally got another au in the works already but i don't care man I love mythology and now they're gods >:)))))

Some info!

Katara and Sokka's face markings are based on the Painted Lady and Warrior makeup (respectively)-- on top of giving Sokka some winged eyeliner to resemble a wolf's markings (as the master of wolves), and a semi-circle on Katara's forehead as a symbol of equality (as the goddess of justice).

Gods don't technically "die" in this AU-- it doesn't happen often, but when it does, they usually become one with their domain. When Gyatso died, as the god of the wind, he turned into the wind and could only communicate through wind chimes (small signs/yes/no-- he can't communicate complex thoughts).

When Kya died, she turned into the starry sky. Hakoda, grieving his wife, would often study her form in the sky and learned to use the patterns of her stars to navigate, which made him become god of navigators.

When Kya died, people started praying to Sokka and Katara for matters of family and home-- it's not actually their domain, but they gratefully accept the duties that come with taking over for their mother.

Katara's necklace has sharp points in this to relate to her mother's star domain.

Katara's cloak is a sealskin (as the matron of sealife)

Yes, Sokka's leg is still hurt in this (still trying to figure out the story behind that, but I love when characters get permanent injuries in media and I'm KEEPING IT) he has a cane-- doesn't always need to use it but he has it!

Sokka's cloak is a polar bear dog's hide (as the god of hunting)

wound dressings and bandages are lingerie for the enlightened pervert

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

awesome that you can form a bond through gay sex which neither of you are engaging in, you're just both thinking about it really hard

[hopeless-eccentric]

humiliating to be attracted to a conventionally attractive person. I thought I was a more sensitive and refined pervert than this

i wanted to give them more jewelry and try a different coloring style but 1) my limp wrist gave up on me and 2) i couldn't decide on the shading/tint

and im sick of tweaking opacity so im gonna call this done!

EDIT: i hope it's obvious it's a jewelry swap

katara's earrings + her piercings are based on nuniwarmiut / nunivak island people (labret piercings, long beaded strings with wooden??? stops)

while aang's necklaces are tibetan (turquoise, coral, metal filigree). also i found out that tibetan women also use so many hair beads and you can't tell me aang wouldn't do that for her loopies

he gets EXTREMELY offended when they add Zuko to the group because CLEARLY Aang already HAS a firebending teacher

[bayofalgecirascranes]

prev tags: #bonus points if Zuko just came for the traitor bonus points because uuuuh#he also? thought the Avatar had a firebending master already?#he's got the waterbender who went from zero to epic in one season#the earthbender who keeps calling him out over his heartbeat while kneading metal between her hands#and the firebender who bends literally unlike anything Zuko's seen before. this all checks out.#what why is everyone staring at him. WHAT.#Sokka: *smugs so hard he keeps anyone from telling Zuko until the Boiling Rock*#*when he needs to VERY QUICKLY drag Zuko away from some VERY AWKWARD conversations with his father*#Zuko: doesn't know if Sokka is a firebender on his mother's side or his father's but is trying to be very supportive of Hakoda raising him-#Hakoda: ...What conversation did my son just stop me from having#later at the air temple: handmade rainbow steamers unfurl over Sokka's room as Hakoda stands supportively underneath#HAPPY PRIDE#DAD I'M NOT GAY I'M A FIREBENDER#...what.#avatar the last airbender#ATLA#Toph munching popcorn: why not both?
