Day 6 - Old Friend | Ghost Hunting

“Do you think friendships can last more than one lifetime?”

This is a direct continuation of that first avatar post since I heard all those comments about people wanting the other avatars, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Yangchen, and I heard all their stories. They make me emotional, and I want so badly for them to be happy, especially Kuruk cause he was robbed and I love his story and want to explore it more.

Here's my entry for @atlazine (Generations zine) with some renowned lavabenders! I was quite excited about the pitch since lavabending is probably my fav form of bending XD

Me for the last 2 weeks

I think the orginal is from Twitter, but I was inspired by a post I saw and reblogged a few weeks ago :)

Sunday, March 8th: Rebirth | What Could Have Been

Event by @rokuweek

[azuremart]

The fact that "Flamey-o, hotman!" was never actual Fire Nation slang, but a century-long prank by Gyatso, is peak Avatar lore.

Can we talk about young Monk Gyatso for a second? Because honestly, he is one of the best characters in the entire franchise. He’s essentially a chaotic mix of Sokka’s goofy energy and Toph’s absolute gremlin energy. He was constantly making up jokes and pranks, driving Roku completely insane.

The Chronicles of the Avatar books confirmed that this iconic phrase never existed in the Fire Nation. Gyatso literally made it up on the spot just to mess with a teenage Roku.

Look at their actual dialogue from the book

The Dedication of a Master Troll

Gyatso’s dedication was indeed unmatched. He didn't just forget about the joke; he casually brainwashed a young Aang into believing this was how actual cool people in the Fire Nation spoke.

And Aang, being the sweet, trusting kid he was, fully believed his master. When he met Kuzon, he probably threw a confident "my good hotman!" at him. Kuzon was undoubtedly baffled, but because he didn't protest, this only solidified Aang's rock-solid faith that this was the ultimate Fire Nation greeting.

The Generational Curse

The absolute beauty of this realization: Gyatso created a ridiculous greeting just to annoy Roku. A 150 years later, that exact same trolling phrase comes back around to deeply irritate Roku’s own great-grandson, Zuko.

So this "hotman" prank literally passed through generations just to end up annoying Roku's descendant. Never underestimate Monk Gyatso’s dedication to a bit.
