My favs are mai and suki

Ooo chill

So off the bat I think you are lowkey shy and you most likely are a fan of small gatherings, and maybe get anxious and thrown off by large crowds. You would probably prefer to stay at home and watch a movie rather than going out.

Secondly, I think that you give me super creative vibes, but kinda shy? This gives me the idea that you probably like theater. Mostly bc the theater fans I know are either SUPER outspoken, or SUPER shy, and I just think that you are usually shy until you get to know someone.

I think that you probably are good at history, and you love learning interesting facts about the past, especially the ones that are like “Oh crazy story of the past” and you tell me about how some dude did some crazy ish in the 18th century.

This makes me think that you would like Buzzfeed Unsolved (fun weird story aspect), and I think you would also like Thomas Sanders. I think that both Mai and Suki are nerds, so maybe that is why.

Just thought of this last minute tho, are you...into Hamilton? (the whole history and theater vibes made me think that maybe...idk).

The hiatuses! New fans don’t know about the hiatuses!

So, remember the episode where Aang dies? Katara brings him back a few minutes later, but it’s definitely implied that he was dead? The very last episode of Book Two? The Crossroads of Destiny? They somberly ride out of Ba Sing Se while Kuei remarks, “The Earth Kingdom…has fallen”? Remember that? Good times!

The thing is, if you didn’t watch Avatar when it was released weekly on Nickelodeon, back in the mid-2000s, you might not realize that there was an extremely long hiatus after that episode. Okay, 9 months, but up until this point, every other hiatus was fairly short, usually 2-3 months. 9 months was a good chunk of our childhood lives spent waiting to see if Aang was okay. The only thing we really knew was that he was Probably Not Dead, Zuko had betrayed Iroh, and Azula had captured Ba Sing Se. We had to wait nine months before The Awakening premiered.

Of course, we were still given some content, during that time. Among the other games on nick.com, an interactive comic called Escape From The Spirit World came out. I don’t have the link to the game but someone put together all of the panels:

I highly recommend watching it. It’s the first time that we, as the fandom, were exposed to Kuruk and Yangchen. It also dives into more of Roku and Kyoshi’s backstories, including Kyoshi’s connection with the Dai Li. I also love the final message on why the Avatar must be human…

So, we had that going for us. We also had some other games, some bumpers and commercials, the first video game, some content in the Nick magazine, etc. We weren’t completely blind, but we also didn’t know when Avatar was going to come back on or what was going to happen.

Then, this epic trailer dropped over the summer:

Still one of my favorite Avatar scores. If you want to listen to just the music alone, here’s a link:

Aang was alive but Aang was in the Fire Nation, Aang had hair?! Iroh was in prison, everyone had new outfits, Appa had armor, Aang’s glider was destroyed, and we didn’t know what was going on.

Then, in September, 2007, Nickelodeon started premiering weekly episodes of the first half of Book Three. This continued all the way up until the end of Day of Black Sun. The last thing we saw was Zuko sailing in the Fire Nation balloon. Then, another hiatus. This one went from November - July.

Again, we weren’t left with nothing. The Burning Earth video game was released. We were getting a few updates about the new live-action movie which surely had to be good, right? Right? ……Right? Fans were making Zuko - Linkin Park AMVS left and right. Kornersphere started The Last Puppet Bender series (link). There were still some really cool games on nick.com. AvatarSpirit, DistantHorizon, and Piandao were much visited websites. I know there were a lot of message boards (I personally didn’t visit many). It was well on its way to become the cartoon with the most fanfictions. We didn’t have tumblr, back then (I don’t think), but we did have a fandom.

And…ah…when the second trailer was released….that fandom reacted. Here’s a video someone posted of the New York Comic Con 2008. I remember watching it from the comfort of my own home (one day, I will go to a comic con), both blown away by the trailer and by the intensity of the fandom’s reactions). Warning: Screaming. A lot of screaming.

Also, here’s a link to the clean version of the trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5avd9_8rXH0

And that’s the story of how a bunch of children/teenagers collectively lost their minds, twice, because streaming services had yet to be invented, so we were completely reliant on the weekly schedule (and the hiatuses in between) to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Worth it.

ATLA Theory– Where is Suki?

So I was re-watching the Legend of Korra the other day and it really got me thinking. In the intro we see Suki included in the picture (directly above) when Tenzin is talking about his father’s freinds who saved the world, a.k.a. the Gaang. With this noted, it is safe to assume that Suki, although a late joiner, was offically apart of the Gaang, otherwise the artists would not go through the trouble of drawing and adding her into this picture.

Now look at this second picture (directly above) that was posted by the offical Legend of Korra account. Notice someone missing? Suki isn’t featured in this picture, creating a contradiction to the picture above. But why? Look closer. This picture is meant to be like a group photo of them at an older age. Based on the fact that Aang has a beard and the ages of the other character’s faces, it’s at least 5 years after the comics. But if I had to guess, I’d say everyone in this picture looks to be closer to their 30′s.

Now that avatar is back from the dead I will say that in my opinion zutara should’ve had AT LEAST one kiss and then they find out they’re better off as friends and then Kataang and meiko could continue as normal.

Day 94. I have bought a rainbow blanket. My mom still has not questioned if I'm queer yet. Dad is suspicious but thinks I don't notice.

One day they will figure out I'm queer through passive aggressive methods, but that day is not today.

I absolutely love seeing this post every year, and watching the art style become more and more beautiful with each addition. This lovely being is finding her style and it’s amazing to get to watch that process happen. Keep going sweetheart. You are you. It’s ok to have down days or need a break from the world. Just don’t stay down there. I know a TON of people would miss you.

I feel like I should make a post about this because it’s not something that’s very well-known, and that Americans in particular may need to know about given the uncertain state of our healthcare system at the moment. I’ve wanted to write this out for a while, It’s kind of a long post, so sorry about that!

If you have an emergency and have to go to the hospital, you’ll owe the hospital a lot of money. (I got into a car wreck and broke my ankle and my arm. My hospital bill was around $20,000)

You’ll also owe the ambulance provider, if you need one. (My ambulance bill was about $800)

You may get separate bills from the anesthesiologist or surgeon. (My anesthesiologist bill was $1,700)

You may need follow-up appointments. (My orthopedic surgeon billed me for the appointments and his surgery together and it was about $1,000)

You’ve also got to pay for medical equipment you need afterward, like crutches or a walking boot. (Mine cost about $75)

Altogether, I ended up with almost $24,000 in medical debt from one car accident. That’s a really scary number for someone like me who makes $10/hr at a 12 hour a week job.

I got my debt down to $1075 by making some phone calls and submitting some paperwork.

The first thing I did was contact the hospital. They don’t make it easy to find, but many hospitals (perhaps most hospitals?) have financial assistance programs for people who can’t afford medical bills. I don’t make a lot of money, and I have bills to pay, so they were able to help me. I called the billing department and asked if they had any assistance programs for low income people who can’t pay their bills. I had to call multiple times, and I got transferred in circles by people who didn’t know what I was talking about. Finally, I got an appointment with someone in “Eligibility Services” (I don’t know what other hospitals call it, if it’s something different). I had to bring my pay stubs and copies of all of my bills. When I got to the hospital for the appointment, nobody knew what I was talking about so I had to wander a little to find where I needed to go. I spoke with the guy in Eligibility Services, and I waited for a decision on how much of the bill they would forgive. A month later, I got a call telling me it was totally forgiven.

I did the same thing for my ambulance bill and my anesthesiologist, but the process was a LOT easier. I just had to mail some paperwork and it was totally forgiven.

I didn’t bother with the medical equipment suppliers, since the bills came from separate companies and I didn’t feel like going through the process twice for $75. I was assured at the hospital that they had similar programs for debt forgiveness, so I could have probably avoided paying that too.

The only thing I couldn’t get taken care of was the surgeon/follow-up appointment cost, but they were able to put me on a no-interest payment plan.

Medical debt is scary because it’s something that can come from stuff that’s already really scary. I didn’t need the burden of $24,000 in debt on top of trying to get around on a crutch with a broken arm (it’s not easy, believe me!).. but I can’t imagine what it would be like with a bigger debt or a more severe medical emergency. I see lots of people in even worse trouble than I was in, both financially and medically. Please know that there are options for you when that GoFundMe doesn’t do enough. Even if your income is higher than mine, it’s worth a shot even for partial debt forgiveness.
