Katara could easily defeat Azula with bloodbending if she wasn't such a liberal -_-

someone, amazingly, made a podfic of my first MaiLee fic for a charity auction to support migrants & asylum seekers in the UK, which is just wild (fantastic) on so many levels, but more amazingly I literally only found out today when I got a request to have it linked to my fic

I might finally have had enough distance to begin finishing some of my WIPs - particularly Noriko, which I feel genuinely bad for not finishing off, that one’s pretty dear in some respects. I had a look through what I have and there’s LOADS of words that are just meandering and pretty plotless - it’s really sad, there’s so much writing without a home! anyway. I won’t promise anything, because the last year has been brutal and relentless (changed jobs, countries, burnt out, started a new MA-level qualification) but I thought out it for the first time in a long while without feeling like I was doing it simply out of guilt. I’ve been reading The Vegetarian which feels like a very Ursa-esque novel in some respects (it’s hauntingly beautiful, but cw: abuse & sexual assault if you want to read it) and it made me realise how much I cared.

How can you not love Katara?? My girl went into a tea shop with Momo and asked for a table for two. How can you not love her

Summary:

“Bitch. You can say bitch.”

“I’m not going to say that.”

“It’s accurate. And no great betrayal of your deeply held feminist principles if I give you my explicit permission to do it. Really. You can call me a bitch.” She points to herself. “Bitch. It’s easy. You try.”

“No! – I’m not going to call you a bitch, Azula.” She sighs. “It’s almost like you want me to hate you.”

========= 

Frustrated with life at the snobby, elite Ba Sing Se Academy she’d won a scholarship to attend, Katara, a fourteen year old would-be revolutionary, begins sneaking out of the upper ring at night to cause trouble. It only gets really dicey when the great-granddaughter of the deposed Fire Lord Sozin, a girl with razor-sharp eyeliner, gets involved.

Or: getting caught shoplifting with the girl you hate most in the world can be a very moving experience, actually.

A very (very!) late submission for @atla-wlw-week day 2: rivals

The final card of the major arcana, The World. The World represents completion, whether it be of a journey, a project, a story. It is, in a way, an ending. Unlike Death, which is about the end of one and the beginning of the next, the World is everything in its whole, and the time to savor what all the hard work has been for.

The hug between Aang and Zuko, just before Zuko's coronation, has always been the true ending point of the series for me. The show was both of their journeys; Aang's path to becoming the Avatar that the world needed while keeping true to his values, and Zuko's path to learning the truth about himself and his nation, and becoming a better person. They started as enemies, and ended as friends. The hug they share, at the end of the war, was the perfect scene to place in this card.

I met a girl (just a friend, don’t get ahead of yourselves, it’s not like that) the other night and we discovered we had a shared interest in ATLA and within the hour she had pegged me (correctly) as an azula fan lmao
