idc about the repetitive zutara vs kataang ship war garbage but here's another example of aang stans who don't know shit about buddhism using "buddhism" to criticize aang hate, as if aang's very existence as a character isn't seen as offensive to actual practising buddhists.

aang is a monk who is a strict vegetarian but he isn't celibate for some reason even though celibacy is a way bigger deal to monastics than vegetarianism. the dalai lamai has publicly denounced married monks and the thai government bans depictions of monks doing drugs or kissing, etc.

and let's not forget that the buddha said that monks that have sex are damned for hell:

Worthless man, it would be better that your penis be stuck into the mouth of a poisonous snake than into a woman’s vagina. It would be better that your penis be stuck into the mouth of a black viper than into a woman’s vagina. It would be better that your penis be stuck into a pit of burning embers, blazing and glowing, than into a woman’s vagina. Why is that? For that reason you would undergo death or death-like suffering, but you would not on that account, at the breakup of the body, after death, fall into deprivation, the bad destination, the abyss, hell.

the irony of getting angry at people calling aang a white self insert because you think he's a "buddhist" when he's a caricature of buddhism made up by ignorant white men who claimed their biggest inspiration for the air nomads was fucking shaolin soccer.

it's not just aang ofc, all the air nomads are based on shallow western perceptions of buddhism since their society is based on the shangri-la trope, a theme park version of real-life buddhist nations. the worldbuilding for the air nomads makes no damn sense and is easily the weakest of the four nations due to bryke's shallow reference pools. their entire culture is monastic but also nomadic, and they practise sex-segregation...yet they still have sex.

bryke just wanted the aesthetics of buddhism without actually understanding it.

Yeah, when I saw that post, I was like, NAH. Blocked that fool. XP

Imagine being one of the Kataang shippers who bullied Christine Boylan into deleting all her tweets and unliking all the Zutara fan art and posts publicly, thinking you won… only for her to become the new showrunner two weeks later.

I may be mistaken, but actually, I think the mass harassment that recently happened was after the news that Christine Boylan is one of the new showrunners of NATLA.

This person in the screenshot above, with their KA group chat, mass harassed Christiane after the news that she was one of the new showrunners. And as you can see, these people are quite happy that harassing and bullying her into un-retweeting and un-liking the Zutara tweets she interacted with, worked. Wow, what a great accomplishment. And she went private very recently on Twitter, as far as I know, and probably that's the reason why.

Man, if that’s true, I hope karma will bite them in the ass so hard. That’s just low. They have no right in doing that. What a bunch of pathetic dweebs.

Summary: Something is happening in Republic City. Murders, both adult and children alike, are occurring at an alarming rate. And yet, no one is doing anything about it. Only the Gaang are aware of it, but as they get closer to the truth, they see their worst fears right in front of them. What exactly is doing all of this? Is it a Spirit? ...Or something even worse?

Rated: T (for now, could be M rated)

Ships: Taang, Zutara, Sukka, minor one-sided Kataang.

Decided to promote this! :) I updated it a little recently, like around a month ago, the story having 3 chapters as of right now, so give it a chance and tell me what you think! It involves some drama and Pennywise being a sadistic monster of a being. XP But yeah, leave me a comment, kudos, and/or a bookmark! Enjoy what I have for now, as more is coming on the way! :D

Heya! Finally updated this story! It's a long one, so I hope you'll enjoy it! :) Also, even though there isn't anything too bad in this chapter(except for maybe a subtle implied mention of SA), mind the tags in the story, as they are there for a reason. It delves into some dark material since this is Silent Hill. ^^; All of the other mature and dark themes will come later on in future chapters though, so be prepared for that. D: Although, I try not to go too deep into detail with these themes, so you don't have to worry about that! ^^;

Either way, just know that I'm not done with this! I will continue and finish this story! :D

Thank you for reading and leave me a comment if you like it! :)

It's common knowledge that Zuko and Aang, throughout the duration of ATLA, are a mirror of one another; a reflection of each other - not necessarily opposites but parallels.

So whilst I was analyzing the finale of the show, I noticed a really interesting parallel between our two protagonists:

Zuko was close to dying in his final confrontation with Azula and what pulled him back up, what saved him from dying was water. More necessarily Katara's healing abilities - but nonetheless, his opposing element saved his life.

On the other hand, Aang throughout his harrowing fight against Ozai utilizes Earthbending time and time again to save himself, techniques that we've come to associate with Toph (rock armor and seismic sense). And to access the Avatar State, that had since been blocked, Earth had been the ultimate catalyst to unlocking his Seventh Chakra.

And if we take into consideration what Guru Pathik told Aang - to unlock the Seventh Chakra he would have to let go of Katara. In a sense, this could have been a visual representation of how Aang lets go of his love for Katara, and how Toph (Earth) could take up that role.

Earth, his opposing Element, saves his life.

It's also interesting that our protagonists' conclusions and destinies are integrally tied to the aforementioned girls. Destiny and Fate are two major themes in ATLA, alonside the moral lesson shared to us by Uncle Iroh about the unity of the four elements and how each element can learn and grow from the other.

Zuko's destiny to bring honor to Fire Nation whilst also challenging his conflicting natures (Sozin vs. Roku; Ozai/Azula vs. Iroh) would have never come into fruition had it not been for Katara. Katara was the first person (other than his Uncle) to show him genuine compassion and humanity, she was the first person to glimpse into his true, kind and gentle nature. Additionally, had she not fought alongside Zuko to defeat Azula and save his life, he would have never been able to step up to the Throne and fulfill his destiny. Thus Katara is linked and bound to Zuko's destiny.

Aang's destiny was to restore peace to the world and end The One Hundred Year War. The Aang we meet during Book One - is timid and soft, a strong bender and with limitless potential, but he lacked the confidence, the back-bone, the grounding to step-up to his duties as the Avatar and defeat Ozai. Katara coddled him and never challenged him to look beyond himself. It's only after meeting Toph does Aang begin to confront his opponents with a different viewpoint, he gains a certain matureness in himself and suddenly we see him step up into his role and responsibilities. Toph's Earthbending not only saves him from death but it also gave him the strength to face his destiny. Thus, Toph is linked and bound to Aang's destiny.

It would have tied a lot of unexplored themes as well as provide a more satisfying conclusion (Aang entering the Avatar State because he followed through with Guru Pathik's lessons instead of pointy rock triggers it) and it would have been cohesive with the narrative thematic of ATLA.

I'm still astonished at how badly Bryke fumbled the bag with their romantic sub-plots. 🗿

@netflix check this out! XD

While a part of mine wants nothing to do with the upcoming atla movies, another part of me wants to see them butcher Zuko, and flop so bad and see if, finally, that manages to destroy the bryke pedestal (*insert that one pic of please god let that happen because it would be so fucking funny*)

Honestly, I don't think Bryke are doing as well as people think. What have they really done that's gotten any attention? I know they're still doing the comics thing, but I barely hear about them anymore. Like I don't even hear people complaining about them anymore. I'm not claiming the gift of clairvoyance or anything, but I think this movie will be their last real attempt before they finally let this franchise die and leave it to the fandom. I am further predicting this will be another excuse to live vicariously through Aang, and the story will suffer for it. Aang will neither learn nor grow from his experiences, and his dumbest decisions will be lauded by the other characters as the height of wisdom. This movie is a transparent attempt to draw attention from the live action show they were dropped from quit. Who knows, maybe this movie flopping will be a good thing for them, and they will finally come up with another idea after 20 years of beating their first, and only idea to a pulp and then griding it into sausage meat.

Man, it's good to hear that they aren't getting any publicity. XD

You know what would be hilarious?

If Netflix just saw how toxic these Kataangers are (bullying Dante and maybe Dallas for liking Zutara) and thought "Oh my gosh, these people need help," and would definitely make Zutara canon in the live-action just to spite them.

Imagine the all diapers that will be soiled. XD

Heya! Hope this chapter was worth it! I made it real longer this time! :D Tell me what you think with a comment! :)

I hate that these YouTube videos complain and moan about how the Netflix live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender was a 'failure'...I mean, if that was the case, then why had it been renewed for not one, but TWO seasons, huh?

And like...I doubt the Avatar Studios stuff is gonna be anything groundbreaking. I don't even think Avatar Studios' content will be any good. Really, it's like, why is this even a thing? Just leave the franchise alone, Bryke, and just let people who can write and make your story a lot more enjoyable (Netflix's Avatar).

It just reeks of desperation and Bryke trying to be relevant. Avatar is not the next Star Wars, I'm sorry. It's a Nick cartoon that should've been an epic four-season (maybe five seasons, who knows?) show, but it shrunk to three, to make a failed shitty trilogy movie that the first movie bombed at the box office, thanks to the creators 'SUPER WISE' decision of canceling the fourth season because they want that trilogy movie series, and honestly? That itself was a bad idea. Bryke tries too hard to make their product the next Star Wars(which I think they're fans of, which says a lot), and it painfully shows. They try too hard. REALLY hard.

Like with Legend of Korra, they try to be super edgy with their 'story' and 'characters', but they just miss the mark on what made ATLA great. I mean, they don't even care about how the bending looks anymore in Korra. Really, there's a reason why they put the final season online, and it was just a bad show. Don't deny it, everyone. I'm certain it would've been good...but it was executed poorly and made not only a mockery of the characters in that show but the OG characters of ATLA(especially Katara). Well, maybe Zuko is the only one who's doing alright...but that just reeks of sexism doesn't it? Toph is all alone in the Swamp, and Katara is...not who she is...always sad about Aang's death...like get it together girl, you're mother-effin KATARA. Get with it!

And another thing, what more is there to tell? What is the next series even going to be? The Avatars are cut off after Korra, right? So...what now? And if you put the setting in some lame-ass futuristic steampunk or cyberpunk world and have bending in it, then...well, that's not really Avatar, is it? It's just its own thing at this point. And really, I don't want any new characters...I never wanted Korra's characters either if the writing they have for them was that bad.

I just think this whole Avatar Studios is just...again, desperation. Like why not reboot it or just...tell the same story, but with a different setting?

Sorry, lost track.

What I'm trying to say is, is that people act like the Netflix live-action of Avatar: The Last Airbender supposedly 'failed', which isn't the case. Y'all are just butthurt about how your 'perfect show' got 'tainted' by big corporations, and honestly, that's far from it. The people behind this live-action were very committed, and the actors were very respectful of their roles. The BTS looked like everyone was having a good time. And here you have idiots going on about how the live-action sucks because...what, Aang talks too much? No sexism from Sokka? Katara didn't act all rage-filled or whatever? I can get the criticisms, but still, I enjoyed it. I liked it. I want to see more.

It's just that this stupid fandom likes to put down the live-action because the cartoon is supposed to be this or that and it doesn't have this...when honestly, it's its own thing, but it's still Avatar! Let it be its own thing! You got the cartoon, now look at this NEW Avatar: The Last Airbender by Netflix! Look at the way they portray the characters, look at the direction they're going, look how they world-build, just look at it! It's almost like fanfiction, and really, isn't that what Avatar is? Fanfiction? It may be a cartoon show, but it's still fiction. They're not real people. We can do whatever we want with them. We're just borrowing their characters, story, and world.

This whole thing is an adaptation. So it's not your cartoon...but it's still Avatar.

I know I'm just rambling at this point, but I'm just kind of tired of seeing thumbnails on YouTube of people bringing down the live-action Avatar. I genuinely enjoyed it, and yes, while it may have some things to work on, the people behind the show will listen to their criticisms and work on that. But again, I still liked it.

Just know one thing...Bryke would've made the live-action of Avatar a whole lot worse if they were in control. I really do believe that. And as for Avatar Studios...I give it a year before it goes bankrupt. I know that's a little harsh, but I just know that the animated Avatar movie is going to be disappointing. ^^;

My overall thoughts on the Netflix Avatar Show.

...I liked it. :)

I totally get the changes, and honestly, I don't see why everyone is so butthurt about it. I really hope it has a second season, cause I want to see Toph.

I'm just really baffled at some of these people being so unprofessional about this adaptation, like DiscussingFilm on Twitter...it's like, what do you know, dumbass? It does have the spirit of Avatar. It's its own thing, yet it has the spirit of Avatar.

Like...what did you expect?

No one was complaining about the One Piece live-action and only saying how good it was. So...what's the deal here? Is it some of these brain-dead so-called 'fans' saying that it doesn't have Byrke's approval? Like, get over yourself.

Sometimes I can't stand the Avatar fandom...

But really, I hope this gets a second season. I want to see how they handle Toph.

Netflix, PLEASE, greenlit this bad boy! I want to see more! :O

But yeah, I enjoyed it. It had great moments and the changes made sense, and the characters were amazing as usual.

It's not perfect, but I sincerely think it was a pretty good adaptation of a beloved cartoon...definitely better than that live-action Avatar movie that shall not be named. XP

I give it an 8.5/10. :)

Go watch it folks! It's good!! :O
