[ID: two digital illustrations featuring Kyoshi and Kelsang from the Kyoshi novels. Kyoshi is a pale green silhouette while Kelsang is a pale orange silhouette, both set against a pale blue background. Kyoshi is thin and gangly while Kelsang is heavy-set with broad shoulders.
In the first image, a young Kyoshi in a tattered coat grasps a long rope, smiling and slightly flustered. With his glider strapped to his back, Kelsang crouches down encouragingly behind Kyoshi, hands holding part of the rope and the end of it tied around his waist. Kyoshi does not even come up to Kelsang’s shoulders.
In the second image, a smiling older Kyoshi in her servant robes stands by Kelsang’s side, right arm grasping her left awkwardly. Kelsang stands by her side, laughing good-naturedly with his right hand on Kyoshi’s back. Kyoshi now stands at Kelsang’s height. End ID.]
i’ve been thinking about @appassaddle’s post and this animatic for days and like. god. y’all were absolutely right.
obligatory “kite scene absolutely destroyed me” fanart :^) also i know the time skip is only two years but hey kyoshi is finally getting actual food and care so i firmly believe an entire foot-and-a-half growth spurt is possible.
