Wait, how did he keep the job that long and why did they fire him

Well.

My husband's uncle worked as the janitor at JPL first and was drinking buddies with one of the scientists/engineers. This scientist liked to talk about his work when he was drunk, and [Uncle] asked a lot of questions. For two years this continued, and then the scientist died in a mysterious* car crash.

[Uncle], armed with knowledge acquired over time, applied for the job, lied about his credentials, and was hired. He was actually really smart and did the job well - even ended up with his own office and a private secretary, and he'd brag about his job to all the relatives and give unreleased Mars photos to all the nieces and nephews.

It went downhill after he started an affair with the secretary. One night they were drunk and he confessed the whole story to her. She decided to use this as blackmail and said that she'd tell the boss if he didn't leave his wife and marry her. [Uncle] didn't want to leave his wife, so he said no, and the secretary followed through. Of course they fired him.

My husband still has some of those photos.

*[Uncle] grew up in a mechanic's shop. I'm not saying he was involved, but there is family speculation.

"I don't get that. You're the president, not someone's crazy uncle."

Savannah Guthrie, NBC. At last, someone says it like it is, to his face and on national TV. Four long years, and it took a woman to finally have the balls to do it.

BUMI: the Monkey King

[WARNING!: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SWEARING]

We first see Bumi at the end of season 1 of Legend of Korra, and we are left with three impressions.

He’s Crazy (just like the guy he’s named after)

He’s strong (as the commander of an Army)

And He’s fun

However, in season 2 we find out that he’s kinda a washed-up has-been, which I thought was really sad.

First, I was really excited to meet the character from his first impression. Tenzin was always the calm and collected side of airbending, so I was excited to see the wild and fun side of Air in Bumi. Second, Avatar is an amazing show that never looks down on anybody. Got a disability? No Problem! You can still be a strong person. You don’t have Bending? Not a Problem! There are plenty of skills you can learn that make you just a strong as a bender.

Sokka was a non-bender, but the show never put him down because he couldn’t bend. Sokka was still an important member to the group and did his part. Bumi on the other hand is openly ignored. Sure he doesn’t have bending, but he is often portrayed as a useless character. This really saddened me, because the show had always treated their characters with great respect. . .

Needless to say I was unhappy with Bumi’s characterization. . .

So, Here is how I would have rewritten Bumi

I would describe Bumi in three words: The Monkey King. Yes I would have based Bumi on Sun Wu Kong from the Chinese classic, Journey to the West.

Despite not being a bender, Bumi would be an accomplished martial artist as wild and free as the monkey king. He would represent the fun-loving and more wild side of the element of Air, to contrast Tenzins more subdued personality. And even though he isn’t an airbender, he still knows how to fight like one.

His fighting style would be Monkey Style or Momo Style if you prefer.

He would tends to fight with a staff to shows just how strong a non-passive airbender could be. I imagine him as the fun but crazy uncle who fits right in with flying children. Overall he would be a fun strong character, not a failure. Also, Bumi has kids. Many of whom are Airbenders.

I decided to work on shading arm came out sheist but I’m okay with that due to how the shading came out.

oh yeah this is one design for Oliver: the crazy uncle with a thousand hats.

For the pants I just used the worst marker possible on a wooden table.

Brief time out from TF stuff to show you the snow dragon my uncle built in front of his house. It’s taller than he is which is impressive because my uncle is over six feet tall.
