“I'm afraid he no longer has a choice.”

[2 image IDs. ID 1: a digital screenshot redraw of jet from avatar the last airbender, taken from the episode “lake laogai”. he is standing in the center, facing the viewer and staring ahead with lidded, dilated eyes, holding his two hooked swords up in a fighting stance. his mouth is agape and he is sweating slightly, brows furrowed with effort. behind jet stands long feng, who bears a smirk, hands clasped in front of him, hidden under his robe. both are bathed in an odd green light emitting offscreen, and are standing in a derelict, underground room. its dark green bricks form the background, darkened with stains. a large water pipe sits in the far left. End ID 1

ID 2: the original screenshot of jet with long feng under lake laogai from avatar: the last airbender used for reference. the scene is the same as previously described. End ID 2]

In the wise words of @hello-yue-here​: Boss man Haru w a bob

[ID: Two drawings of Haru from Avatar: The Last Airbender. The first image is digitally coloured; Haru is shown facing the viewer from the upper chest up, with his head looking slightly to the left with a conflicted expression and one hand held up to his brown hair, which is cut in a bob. His right brow is furrowed and his mouth his open, and there’s a slight reddish blush on his face as well as one sweatdrop on his cheek. He has light brown skin and wears his canon robes as well as his usual headband. The background is a gradient peach square, with the artist signature above Haru’s shoulder. The second image is of Haru with the same expression in the same position, but is a scanned traditional drawing down in fine pen. There’s a speech bubble to the left showing Haru asking “Does it look weird?” End ID]

I was a fighter and I was so brave

But I lowered my sword when you held me and swore

You’d stay, stay, stay

[Image ID: two drawings of jet and haru from avatar: the last airbender. in the first piece, haru is in the middle of cupping jet’s face, closing his yes as he pulls him in for a kiss. jet appears surprised, holding a sword in one hand loosely. in the second piece, jet is embracing haru, having dropped his sword in order to pull him closer. haru is fully cupping jet’s face with one hand as the two kiss. there is a soft yellow glow on the white background. both are dressed in their book 1 clothing.

For the emotion/color palette challenge… Jet in 3C, please? (and whichever palette you’d like!)

Jet my beloved... [ID: A digital drawing of Jet from Avatar: The Last Airbender done in a brown and cream colour palette. He's wearing his canon outfit and is facing the viewer with a smirk and hooded eyes. The artist signature is written above his left shoulder. The background is a teal-blue, and in the upper right corner has two small screenshots; the first the colour palate used titled 'pspsps', and second a yellow smiley with same expression as Jet.

idk where to put this so im putting this here, the reason male storytellers repeatedly create queer coded mlm relationships in their media with absolutely no intention is rooted a lot in misogyny. this is a quote thats been shared around a lot online recently from marilyn frye’s “the politics of reality”:

“All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex. Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”

i have a lot to say about how its a bit irresponsible to dust off homophobic straight men as being closeted gay men, but this quote is 100% true. straight male culture views romance as something that is almost exclusively physical because they do not truly view women as people with thoughts and feelings, people they can build genuine connections to. but they view men that way. queer people like me understand romance as something intimate and special both physically and emotionally, and we treat our partners accordingly. so when straight male writers write relationships between two male friends, they don’t understand how it could be read as something romantic because they are expressing their own passions for the men in their life, but they dont see them romantically. for the rest of us, its very obviously gay because of how much emotional connection that transcends friendship there is between these characters. they dont think its gay until they kiss, which leads to a lot of unintentional (though sometimes later intentional bc they realize they can profit) queerbaiting.

Dear Avatar fandom

Please can we stop refering to Zuko's eyes as 'good' and 'bad' in fics. What he actually has is a 'seeing eye' and a 'blind eye'. There is nothing inherently bad about a blind eye.

Negative language towards disability is ridiculously common in our ableist society. I know this community is often very good at writing disabled characters, and people mean no ill intent with this language, but please consider the words you use and their connotations.

This is not a call out, nor an attack, and it is not targeted at anyone specifically. I am just someone in the disabled community asking you to please think about why you might consider a blind eye to be bad, especially in a fandom with a canon blind character.

Thank you for listening

[Image ID: A message from @ijustreallylovelions that says: “Wait a sec. Can trans people still reclaim/hc her as trans? Cis people shouldn’t though that’s for sure”. End ID]

HEY SO SORRY I SAW THIS LATE ive been busy with graduation and all, but i wanted to make this a whole post bc i definitely dont wanna give the wrong idea on my post abt the trans smellerbee hc coming from brykes transphobic jokes. i LOVE trans hcs and i think smellerbee being trans is great, imo all the freedom fighters are queer in some way bc ofc they are. i cant speak for the entire trans community but my personal beef w the popularity of this hc and popular trans hcs in general is they focus solely on “evidence” present in the media rather than how being trans impacts their character, like what i was saying in my katara post. theres nothing wrong with pointing out dialogue from smellerbee that could point to her being trans, or even more popular hcs like dipper from gravity falls, but the obsession with pointing out a characters anatomy or behavior as if you can clock a trans person just from looking at them is pretty ignorant in general.

i wont even say whether or not cis people can hc her as trans or not, but trans hcs coming from cis people in general is weird to me for the reasons above. they arent bringing anything interesting to the table and are often working on their own internal ideas of what a trans person “looks like” and that can lead to a lot of ignorant shit. when transfem hcs are a scarce as they are because people treat transmascs with more dignity and respect than transfems, to have one of the most popular hcs out there be based solely on transphobia in the show, kinda hurts to see! kinda feels bad! and thats usually perpetuated by cis ppl creating trans hcs to look woke

basically, my opinion is leave the trans content to trans people themselves and allow trans people to hc characters however they want. if you see a trans person very attached to the trans smellerbee hc, dont try and yell at them bc brykes the ones writing transphobic shit. at the end of the day hcs are not canon so it doesnt matter, but we should call out creators for trying to get away with having a “trans coded” character when their first intention was just to be transphobic for comedy

[quinnnblr]

[quinnnblr]

[ID: A digital drawing of Sokka, Zuko, Jet and Haru from Avatar the Last Airdender. It is modern day, and they are sat outside on some stairs. Sokka leans against the railing holding a boba tea, wearing a blue kuspuk and has silver beaded dangling earrings. He is happy, talking to Jet. Jet wears a leather jacket with a studed collar and several pins. He has several ear cartilage piercings, and his hands have several rings and hold a lit cigarette. Haru sits below Jet and looks startled that Sokka is resting one foot on his leg. He holds a smart phone. Zuko sits below the group with his back to them, knees drawn up and looking at a flip phone. A bag sits open next to him. End ID] @atladescribed
