Aang - Blog Posts
Imo, atla has a bittersweet ending
Aang is sitting alone and wearing the air nomads clothes, his culture clothes, a necklace similar to GYATSO's necklace. I can't even imagine the emptiness and sadness he was feeling here
There are no airbenders in the crowd
All nation gathered..... except the air nomads.
No one else in the crowd wearing orange or yellow.
Aang won the war, but his people are still gone.
Yes, he has the Gaang, he has Katara, he has Momo and Appa. But he's still the last airbender.
This is so heartbreaking.
More phone doodles!!
Atla Christmas sketches!!
is it just me or are we not informed of anyone's last name besides toph's in avatar
8-year old me watching Aang debating over how to deal with firelord Ozai:

Drew some avatar on the side of my schedule to give me strength

The SPG fandom on my dashboard seems so full of drama since yesterday... Guys please, Spread the love!
Hearing Aang over explain how bending works each episode is genuinely so annoying. Now listen, I know the original show also has info dumped about bending. But at appropriate times!
It feels like whenever Katara is bending with Aang around he just takes the time to say how air bending works. And then Katara can magically do the move. It doesn’t draw this obvious distinction between the bending forms, if he had said that for air benders it's about blah blah or if he had mentioned how a friend used to do an exercise where they follow the push and pull of the ocean that would be decent. It would show the difference, show how Aang as a bending master can be helpful, but also how he isn’t a stand-in for an actual water bending master and also explain why HE can’t just start water bending like a genius.
I think a lot of the issue stems from making Katara an idiot when it comes to water bending. She couldn’t even draw a water droplet up in the live action, yet in the animated show she was teaching aang during the first few episodes what she DID know. This allowed for the two benders to play off each other, to explore Kataras own self-worth issues when it comes to being the last bender of her tribe, and also explore how Aang's inability to self regulate because he is 12 can unknowingly hurt his friends. But in the live action, Katara isn’t skilled, she can’t do anything, they literally remove the entire fighting scene of Zuko's ship which is SUCH an important moment for Katara and her bending! It's frustrating. Honestly if she can’t even teach herself to lift a water droplet on her own I don’t have that expectation of her growing into a master bender status once she DOES learn the actual forms. It's her determination, her natural ability, her attempts to use her bending to help that make her a really interesting and powerful character in the early episodes of season 1. She doesn’t have that in the La and any sense of natural talent or personal experimentation is replaced with Aang going “well the monks said-”.
No Aang, the monks didn’t say anything because Air bending and water bending are different bending forms!
Wanna know why I love avatar so much? Cuss the avatar really was the friends we made along the way. This isn’t some big deep dive into the morals of the show so be warned, it’s as surface deep as you can get but…
Being able to bend all 4 elements isn’t what the avatar is. The bending is just a physical representation of bringing those 4 clashing cultures together. Without Aang there is no reason for zuko, toph, katara or sokka to be friends. But because of him they are. They as representatives of their nations work with the last air bender (AND THE AVATAR!) to bring peace.
Because one man, one culture, cannot be the defining force in a universe. It’s just not true to reality. Sure some people helped more than others (the earth army was larger than the water tribes) but it was still a group effort. Everyone has to put effort in to keep their world at peace because every nation/ element plays a role in sustaining their life.
Honestly would love to write a fic about the avatar spirit dying/ disconnecting with humanity after aang gets stuck in the ice to further explore this idea but …. Im lazy.
kataras female rage freeing aang out of the iceberg and therefore essentially being the reason for world peace after a century long war is just very...poetic when u think about it
I think I peaked with this art specifically
So, I saw your atla as Heather's post when I was looking for something else (I got distracted, now I'm drawing) anyways, who do you think would be Martha for atla Heather's au?
I think aang is very much Martha material 😭 I do keep switching between zuko veronica and katara veronica but aang works for both options in my opinion!
