Anyone here still alive in the Gangsta fandom? I fear I am once more fashionably late to the shipwreck

Random thoughts before bed

Tenzin knows how to set up a triage unit because of his mother, and the first time Pema sees him do this after a disaster she's like, "Who is this man?"

Koshe (the acolyte with the glasses) has been around long enough that she had a relationship with Bumi then they were younger, and she used to babysit Tenzin and Lin.

AFRICA’S FIRST ENERGY PLANT THAT CONVERTS TRASH INTO ELECTRICITY OPENS IN ETHIOPIA

The largest waste dump in Ethiopia has been converted into an energy plant that turns trash into power. The Koshe waste dump has been operational for nearly 50 years, but after a terrible accident that killed 140 people in March of 2017, local officials began to consider other possible uses for the site.

Ultimately, the site was turned into the first energy plant in Africa that converts trash into power. The conversion was a part of the “Reppie Waste-to-Energy Project” which seeks to encourage renewable energy throughout the country.

The plant is expected to have the capacity to incinerate 1,400 tons of waste every day, and generate large volumes of power for local businesses and residences.

Zerubabel Getachew, Ethiopia’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations explained that, “The Reppie project is just one component of Ethiopia’s broader strategy to address pollution and embrace renewable energy across all sectors of the economy. We hope that Reppie will serve as a model for other countries in the region, and around the world,”

Trash at the site will be burned in a combustion chamber to create heat that will be used to boil water until it turns to steam, which will then drive a turbine generator to produce electricity. It is also said that the plant will have very low emissions, which will comply with the emissions standards of the European Union. The fact that trash won’t be breaking down in the environment is another advantage.

Ethiopia invested $96 million in the plant, and hired the British firm Cambridge Industries Limited and the China National Electrical Engineering Company to construct the facility. The plant took four years to complete, and opened in January of last year.

These types of power plants are relatively common in Europe, where nearly 25% of municipal waste is incinerated. These plants are especially popular in Germany and France, which each has over 100 of these waste-to-energy plants within their borders.

Any super side character hc?

Koshe!

Koshe became an acolyte a little bit later in life

She was in a compulsory heterosexual marriage and one day just up and left the guy when she decided that she wanted to take a chance on living.

She didn't know exactly what she wanted to accomplish, but her cushy middle-class life with a husband who didn't love her wasn't where she wanted to be forever

She spent years walking around the Earth Kingdom with a group of earthy-crunchy hippies. (think "secret tunnel" guy). She learned a bunch of odd jobs and saw the full range of human experience in others and got a good dose of it herself.

Before leaving home she didn't know that life could be so full of both the good and the bad

It made her humble and kind

She started keeping journals describing her journey

She never went back home

Whenever she would find young street urchins in her travels, she would take them under her wing until she got them to a place they would be safe

Koshe is a patron saint of sorts to the dozens of kids she helped out over the years

A small part of her always wanted the kids to stay, but she knew she wouldn't be able to provide stability for them, so she settled for just helping them out in moments of need

She always cried when they left

Eventually, she got her fill of wandering. She was getting older, her body was slowing down, the winters were long and the summers were hot. Sometimes the kids she "fostered" went with Air Acolytes when it was convenient. She knew enough about the acolytes to trust them, and the next time she crossed paths with some of them, she joined them and ended up at the Northern Air Temple

A few years later she was greeting the new recruits, one of them was Pema. The two of them have been inseparable ever since

Writing promt. Pema’s first birthday with the acolytes.

Read it on ao3

Koshe tapped her pen against her journal, lost in thought. She had already flipped through the pages to see if she had accidentally put the information she was looking for elsewhere but found nothing.

She had been surprised to see that Pema's arrival date was one year ago today according to her notes, she figured her memory must not be as bad as she thought, but couldn't for the life of her understand how Pema had been here for a whole year and she hadn't written down her birthday. She flipped through some of the pages just to confirm that she had been writing down the birth dates of the other acolytes. Everyone else she knew for more than a few months had the information scribbled by their name.

Pema knew her birthday. The girl had even baked her a small sweet cake and refused to eat any of it, insisting that it was all for her.

She closed the journal and went to go find her. It took a few tries, the girl liked to squirrel herself away in places where no one would find her. It was a habit they were trying to break her out of. Koshe checked all of the usual spots and couldn't find her. She scratched her head and moved to the common areas to ask around if anyone had seen her.

Pema sat at one of the low tables eating an apple with a large book open before her. Koshe smiled, seeing the efforts of breaking two bad habits were paying off. It had taken nearly the full year since she arrived to convince her that the open door policy in the kitchen was there for a reason. No one had to go hungry among the acolytes, and the girl honestly needed to eat more. Koshe sat down next to her.

Pema glanced up and smiled but kept reading. Koshe kept quiet, knowing if she tried to interrupt her now, the apple would go to the wayside, and she would be upset that she couldn't finish her chapter. She shifted behind her and began to braid her long hair. She could tell Pema was trying not to laugh but held her resolve and kept reading and snacking. Eventually, the apple was nothing but a core, and she closed the book. Koshe finished up the intricate braid and Pema reached back to feel what she'd done as she settled next to her again.

"Did you know you've been here for a year?" she asked.

Pema smiled widely. "No. Has it really been a whole year?"

Koshe nodded. "I have a problem, though."

"What it is?" Pema reached for her hand.

"I don't know when your birthday is."

She seemed to be lost in thought for a moment. Koshe gave her all the time she needed, content to sit with her while she worked through whatever it was she was thinking about.

"It's in the winter... or... maybe the spring?"

Koshe did her best not to frown. This poor child. It was summer now. "I missed it then. Give me a date so I can write it down for next year."

Pema scoffed. "But I don't know when it is."

"Pick a day. It'll be all yours. Whenever you want."

She shook her head after another moment of thought. "You pick a day."

Now it was Koshe's turn to laugh. "Dear, I'm not going to pick your birthday for you."

Pema ducked her head in embarrassment. "I don't know, Koshe. I think I remember getting a stuffed badgermole once. It was kind of cold outside, but there was no snow."

Koshe reached out to rub comforting circles on her back. "How about today? The day you got here?"

"The day I became an acolyte. The day I met you." Pema smiled.

Koshe's heart soared. She loved seeing Pema smile. "Today it is. Happy birthday, my sweet Pema."

Pema's lip quivered as she tried to keep the smile going. She reached up to wipe a tear from her eye. "Thank you."

Her arms wrapped around Koshe's shoulders quickly. She hugged her back in a firm hold.

"How old are you?"

"Uhm. Sixteen?"

Koshe kept holding her. "Do you know what year you were born?"

She nodded and was quiet for another moment. "Okay. Actually, I'm seventeen."

"Happy seventeenth birthday, Pema."

Pema started to shake, and Koshe continued to hold her. A few deep breaths later, she calmed down and pulled back.

"What do people do on their birthdays?" she asked as she wiped the fresh tears off her face.

"Whatever they want."

Pema thought for another long moment. "Want to go see if we can get away with raiding the chocolate stores?" she asked mischievously.

Koshe nodded. "I'll distract Liten. You sneak by and get something for us."

Pema grabbed her hand and stood, pulling her along in the direction of the pantry.

May I know about Koshe and Saikhan?

So, the Koshe and Saikhan thing is an interlude to a very long and convoluted AU. Basically, the main characters, the "A" plot, so to speak, is all at the south pole.

Koshe (the acolyte lady with glasses) and Saikhan (we know him) are how we get the "B" plot of everything going on in the city while the "main characters" aren't there. Koshe and Saikhan end up as unusual allies in Republic City because Pema and Lin end up as unusual allies at the south pole.

The gist of it is: one day Saikhan delivers a letter to Air Temple Island for Koshe, and boom they're now in an extremely strange situation with each other because they both desperately want to be in contact with the people at the south pole but due to in-universe reasons, they HAVE to contact Pema and Lin via letters, they HAVE send their mail together, at the same time. Koshe is always rushing her ass Saikhan's office at the last minute trying to get the mail from the acolytes into the proverbial mail man's truck. lol.

Their dynamic is like. Hippie liberal tree hugger who was raised in nobility and will cut you down with precise words, and conservative bastard cop guy who has a 24/7 migraine but actually isn't that bad outside of the whole "is a cop" thing once you get to know him.[ACAB]

Fun fact! I opened this word doc and it was completely blank. I checked my external hard drive to see if it was there and it wasn't. I'm like 90% sure this WIP has only been living in my head??

[acolyte-acolyfe]

Is Koshe protective of Pema?

//Yes! Look at Koshe sitting on the bed after Rohan is born! She's making sure Pema and the baby are alright.

//She was the first one to show up when Pema went in to labor! Literally teleported out of nowhere the second she screamed!

//I hc that Koshe is the caring mother that Pema never had, and Pema is the daughter that Koshe never had. They came to ATI at the same time and have been inseparable ever since!

J’aime cette timidité expressive de la commise mannequin. Être payé pour défiler immobile devant de young suckers amorphes. Ou feignant se l’être par l’atroce jeu social dont ils sont les objets. Machine to machine pour ainsi dire…

Deux expressions linguistiques qui ne diront plus grand-chose aux délicieux young duckers.. new gen. Part of the game…
