March Video: So I've Been Getting Into Avatar

In which we discuss why I should be the Avatar, who the objectively best character in the cartoon is, and why my cats are menaces.

Comments

Sokka is hilarious since he is the silliest boy and canonical inventor of the submarine

Also if I were the Avatar, my main element would 100% be earth followed by water (I know, I know. I’m sorry. What can I say? I’m a boring bitch that likes building and fixing shit plus I’m a cleric at heart. Am only stable/well-adjusted on the outside though.)

Currently going back and rewatching old Patreon videos/catching up on the ones I missed and I need to make one thing so clear: Haley, I adore you. I love you and your silly little brain so much and I want you to be the Avatar. I think you deserve it. I’m voting a solid ‘Aye’. (Seriously truly though: you’re such an awesome dude. 🩷)

Dani Bee

I maintain that iroh is the best character simply because if I could be any character in the avatar universe it would be him. The man is just zen incarnate

i'll go ahead and toss another fic rec in the ring - Traitor's Face by Loopy is a really fascinating series that basically changes a few things before the series starts, but the most obvious thing is that Aang wakes up a year later, so the Fire Nation has already taken over huge parts of the world. does a lot of cool worldbuilding stuff, especially with spirits, and pulls together so many cool elements of the series overall.

If I'm thinking about the elements in like a fighting scenario I feel like I'd lean towards the body horror possibilities, like stealing the air outta someone's lungs and making tree roots and flowers grow to entomb people. But like in a non-combat forward thing, community gardens for water and earth bending. There's so many possibilities for cool art stuff too. I'd honestly be using air bending kinda like an invisible wheelchair just cause floating and/or taking literal gravity off of my shitty bones sounds amazing. I'd still use fire bending to commit arson though. I'm angy and I will cause problems on purpose but only with fire. Also light shows.

I WOULD BE ABLE TO THROW ROCKS WITH MY MIND

i new in my soul i would be an earth bender i love earth bending i love toph i love BUMI i love those eathbenders from the boat i would do so much cool and also very mundane things if i had earthbending powers (cant find a bench? i make myslef a seet out of concrete in the middle of the street) best element to ME!

HELL YES YOU'RE A SOKKA GUY! I have heard way too much disrespect for Sokka just because for like the first two episodes he has a standard 15 year old boy raised in a patriarchal culture's opinion of girls that he IMMEDIATELY rectifies the second he's exposed to another culture, it drives me insane. My boy is not a misogynist! Anyway your character list is completely accurate.

As far as fics go I do highly recommend Embers. It's very long but it's really good. Goes deep into dragon lore and obscure types of bending. A+ on a character study level.

I was the kid trying to do this but for reasons why I should be a mermaid. I will also just take water bending.

Caroline Oden

Ho ho ho

IS HE NOT DEAD

Haley Whipjack

When asked as a kid what I wanted for superpowers I always wanted to be the combination of Storm, the avatar, and Layla (the plant bender from sky high) because that sounded like the life, but I font want to be the avatar, you can have that all to yourself lol. If I had to choose one I'd want to be a waterbender. I prefer the cold to the heat anyway, I'm already a night person so the moon and I can for sure be homies, I am working (slowly,crawling my way there but it's happening) on getting my RN so the healing aspect of waterbending would be helpful, and it's also the most similar to most of what I wanted with all of the powers I wanted growing up. Plus as a Percy Jackson girly I know that I belong in the Apollo cabin but I wanted to be Poseidons kid so bad. I also choose ice almost any chance I get in power sets.

(another wall of text incoming, you will Regret giving me carte blanche for these but also no take-backsies) first of all: falling into a fanfic spiral before you've even finished a series is SUCH a mood (and not to make this about about ouat bc this video Isn't About Her, but if you're ever in need of ouat fic recs--mostly sq tbh lmao--absolutely hmu i have been curating my rec list since 2014) second of all: becoming the avatar to fulfill the dreams of your friends who would like to be friends of a superhero is BIG dungeon master energy i have to say third of all: waterbending as a stim had never occurred to me but ur soooo right; though i posit that earthbending could also be for stimming. though maybe that's bc i was such a "i have to obsessively kick this rock down the street as long as i can until it escapes me" kid whenever i had the opportunity fourth of all: YESSSSS SOKKA HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE SINCE I WAS A KID FOR ALL THE REASONS U LISTED AND MORE, THAT'S MY BOYYYYYYYY, YOUR TASTE REMAINS IMPECCABLE AS ALWAYS. azula's a close second, and i was (and am still particularly with this show lmao) such a multishipper + rarepair guy personally, truly i have read sooooo much sokka-centric and azula-centric fic (more recs i'd be happy to give if ur ever interested)

No one tell Haley what happens to Zhao

Kyle Richardson

HALEY! You can't tell us about a long fic series and then not drop the title at least! Ma'am!

Rowan C

I feel like not using earth bending is understandable in our society because we would be destroying a lot of public infrastructure like roads when using it in any significant way. Earth bending works so well in the show because they are often in the middle of nowhere.

Jacob Chisholm

This is how I know I'm a grown adult. Child me, so much firebending to fight crime. Me at almost 30, I might use waterbending to water my plants better. I would not make a good avatar. "Oh there's a problem with a spirit terrorizing a lumber town? That sounds stressful, I'll get to that when after I finish having too many thoughts and feelings about it"

Mitchemditchem

oh i see its you with avatar powers not you as An Avatar

The Sheriff

I cant think of a single Avatar with good mental health so miss me with that shit fr. Too much responsibility

The Sheriff
