Bending/Culture

I started this sketch back for kuspuk week, the design here was inspired by kuspuk worn in dance and singing performances, the stance from tai chi. I'm quite patrial to the idea that southern waterbending was partly traditional dance in nature.

outside, it starts to pour

She’s noticing, for the first time, just how beautiful Suki is. Her eyes are a deep, warm, brown, adorned with golden eyeliner. This close, Katara can see each and every freckle dotted across Suki’s skin, many of them too faint to make out from a distance. Her lip gloss shimmers under the kitchen fluorescents, and Katara wonders what flavor it is - wonders if she could tell from a k—

She swallows too hard, fighting against her throat closing in on itself because oh.

That’s— new.

or, suki is katara's bi awakening: the fic

I like to think that Katara and Yue were each other's first female friend.

Katara Week 2023, Day One - Moon

@katara-week

Stirred by the repetitive, involuntary motions of her body, Katara peeled her eyes open. There beholds the dead of night. Fewer white lights twinkled freely with Yue in the centre, still watching over the stars, watching over the sea, and watching over her. Her arms and legs spread, bilaterally extended to each quadrant on the ice sheet she rested on. Body exposed, bare and vulnerable as the eternal moon goddess remained for all with the naked eye.

“You’re too far.” Katara declared.

She pulls the water to her, pushing off from the island, the vortex devouring her. She erupts and flies, reaching out to the moon as she plunges into the ocean below. It was there she watches the goddess disappear into the sky.

Here came the sun anew. Each morning rays hotter than before until they engulfed her whole.
