They’re both smiling wildly at each other, Asami’s eyes closed. The background is light purple with light flares to make it look more ethereal. end description]

My friend texted this to me and said she couldn’t tell if this was a drink or drain cleaner

it's giving me such mixed messages like it says "non-toxic" and "industrial strength" but also "no sugar" and "gluten-free"

Cultural Anatomy: Blue Spirit Mask

I’ve noticed many ATLA fans comparing Zuko’s Blue Spirit mask to a Japanese Noh mask, but Bryke have actually confirmed (in the artbook) that it’s based off of a Chinese Nuo mask. Nuo Opera is one of the most popular folk operas in southern China. Its most distinguishing feature is the use of ferocious-looking masks with the costumes. The opera is a religious performance intrinsic to the practice of Nuoism, a type of Chinese folk religion. The purpose of Nuo opera is to drive away disease and negative influences/spirits, as well as to petition for blessings from the gods.

Zuko’s Nuo mask depicts “The Dragon King”, a Chinese water and weather god. That Zuko chooses to wear this mask when he’s being sneaky and underhanded speaks to how clever he can be when he’s not being hotheaded.

First, he knows that dressing up as a dragon associated with water will confuse anyone trying to identify the Blue Spirit. Dragons are a symbol of the Fire Nation, but blue and water are obviously Water Tribe coding. Is this person from the Fire Nation or Water Tribe? A person of mixed heritage, maybe?

Second, a consistent piece of symbolism within the Avatar-verse is that blue dragons are cruel and cutthroat. Sozin’s animal companion was a blue dragon, Azulon’s name means Blue Dragon, and Azula is portrayed as a blue dragon in Zuko’s fever dream. When Zuko chooses to behave in a dishonorable way (from his POV), he choose to don the face of a blue dragon.

Third, the purpose of Nuo opera is to drive away negative influences and petition for blessings. When Zuko first dons the Blue Spirit persona, he’s kidnapping the Avatar away from Zhao. If you were a superstitious FN citizen— which is not an unreasonable thing to be in the Avatar-verse— you might think that the Blue Spirit is some sort of otherworldly guardian to the Avatar. He’s exorcising Zhao’s influence and has been blessed by the Avatar with good fortune. Think about how intimidating a reputation the Blue Spirit must have thanks to the events of that night. Is it any wonder why Zuko chooses to don the mask again in the Earth Kingdom?

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^

This should be considered a form of art.

youhavethewrong

Because it is. This was made by artist Foka Wolf. You can find more examples of his art on his instagram.

ohnofixit

Yep! To be clear this was made out of fake ads and posted in a public space by the artist. That's why everything lines up so conveniently and the fonts match.

I've seen it called brandalizing. :)
