Fire Lords
wonder what the fire lords before Sozin were like.
Well, the symbols that are drawn with the profile elude to what major thing they did in their life.
The first dude with the flowers behind him, I’m no expert, but I’d imagine he was rather peaceful, friendly, promoted peace throughout the land. Maybe the type of flower symbolizes something more.
The top center dude has stars, one at his feet and one in his hand. Perhaps he was a great leader and provided guidance for his people (more so than the other firelords) because the stars are used to guide you through the night. Or perhaps he was a guidance in regard to education, promoting learning and knowledge among his people. Or still, it has to do with the invention of using the stars as a map. Or a lot of progress was made in astrology under his ruling.
Sozin we pretty much know already. There’s the comet over his head, but also a scroll in his hand, and an army at his feet. The army probably alludes to him being a militant leader. Perhaps he built up the army’s forces. The scroll, I’m thinking either two things. He wrote a lot of rules, or he wrote a lot in general.
Azulon is standing on a cloud on a turtle-snake. No clue what that would symbolize. Maybe someone who was highly praised and worshiped like a saint. Idk.
Ozai is seen with gears and pipes at his feet eluding to the industrial growth the firenation experienced under his rule. It’s interesting that his palms are facing towards you unlike the others. Maybe that has to do with being more forceful and less merciful, and the fire in his hands is black. Idk what that would mean.
In Confucianism, a great leader is said to be one who is like the north star; in a static position that everything rotates around; such a man is stable and virtuous, and guides men to be such my example, not by force. The top center man probably didn’t rule with a heavy hand, but was revered for his personal virtue, and was a role model for his subjects, hence the Sun itself at his feet and standing on the clouds like a heavenly figure.
Sozin had a long peaceful reign before the war, so the scroll probably denotes him as a law giver, like Justinian or Lycurgus. It could be a similar convention to someone holding stone tablets like Moses.
Azulon is standing on the back of a turtle; an animal that lives on both land and water. It was Azulon who launched the raids on the southern water tribe and conquered most of the territory in the Earth Kingdom. He was also considered to be legendarily skilled at Firebending even among Fire Lords, hence the two fireballs in his hands.

An Avatar Parody - The Avengers
If we can’t protect the Earth Kingdom, you can be damn sure we’ll avenge it.
…Okay, this is awesome.
Don’t **** with Mean Green. I’m just saying.
This is the best thing ever. Seriously.

…but I will never see this..
Because in my head, Lu Ten was always someone to look up to when Zuko was younger..some sort of a role model..And he got incredibly proud everytime Lu Ten praised him.
I wonder how many years these two have in difference. But they both are younger here anyway, a few years before Lu Ten died:C
Also I have a really strong impression I like hurting myself and making myself sad…I wish I could draw this better
suddenly, Fire Nation Feels ;-;

On how they felt about their characters not getting together.
I’ll just leave this here.
In a puddle of shipping tearsHilarious… True Story.
Stopppppp, you’re hurting my feeeeellllssss…..
Sure! And happy early birthday!
-You could make ATLA or Lok themed food, like:
-Or maybe some cupcakes with any of the character’s faces on them.
-You could give people elements/nonbending abilities. The person who is having the birthday could be the avatar, and for the other people, write bending or nonbending abilities on slips of paper and have them draw it out of a bag without looking. The slip of paper determines what they’ll be and you could give them a cute little goodie bag that matches their choice. For example, if they picked “Airbender,” you could give them little Aang stickers and a bubble blowing wand.
-Decorate balloons with arrows to make them look like Aang.
-As far as games go:
-Pin the Honor on the Zuko.
-Avatar/Lok Trivia Game
-A mock form of probending, played safely of course! A frisbee could be used for earth, a water gun for water, and a rhythmic ribbon for fire.
-Freeze tag, but the person who is it is Amon….(I don’t really know how fun that would be, though…) And there could be one person as the Avatar who could unfreeze people. You could also use that printable version of Amon’s mask for the person who is it…
-You could have some game for each element. Here are some cool ideas for that: http://www.birthdaypartyideas.com/html/miscellaneous_parties_27.html
If anyone has any other ideas, please reblog and share! :D
…Pin the Honor on Zuko…
PIN THE HONOR ON ZUKO
This is why I love the ATLA fandom…
THEY’RE IN A FREAKIN’ JC PENNY!!!
WOO HOOOOOOOOOO yes! parallels! <3

I’m going to go do this now… you don’t understand.

THIS FINALE.
DAMN.

JUST came across this idea today. Didn’t even think of it while I was watching; I was too emotionally wound up to think things through.
Looking back on it…girl was DEFINITELY about to kill herself.
The bad guy went down in a murder/suicide boat explosion and the heroine very nearly threw herself off a cliff…
FOR KIDS!
this was the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. In either series. Beautiful. Absolutely stunning.
All these people that helped that goofy kid along the way, that made him a great avatar — he grew up and he earned the right to join their ranks in aiding the next avatar. And here he is. to bring her back something she’s lost. To give her back the right to be the Avatar.
And she’ll be one of them too someday, to help out the next Avatar, and I just… god i need a minute
Amen.

I just need to say that I am absurdly excited and proud to have seen the Korra finale when it aired. I made horrible gurgling screaming noises at the tv at least five times, and once I shouted so loudly and suddenly that I actually scared my mom.
Without spoiling anything, I have NEVER experienced such high stakes in any tv show, nor have I ever been so nervous, scared, excited, horrified, surprised…
It was rough to watch but GOD it was amazing.

And Bryke - I was about to be REAL disappointed with the ending, but you’re evil geniuses and made it awesome. I love you forever.
Amon taking away Korra’s bending somehow results in a trip to the spirit world, where she’s consulted by Kuruk.
Then Aang comes out of no where with the lion turtle to teach her how to air bend, energy bend and gives her back her bending
Once she’s back in the real world, she finds Lin and Tahno and gives them their bending back because they wanna take the equalists dooooowwwwwwn. also tahno has a really stupid looking haircut
BOLIN GETS MORE LINES AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNS HOW TO PLATINUM BEND AND IS A TOTAL BAMF
And Mako needs a flashback of his childhood with Bolin, when they scoured Republic City’s docks looking for dumplings and adventure
Lieutenant actually does his job right
Korra unmasks Amon with Airbending
But we have to wait to see who it is cuz WOOPS, General Iroh has arrived and he gets to show off his rock hard abs in a fight scene
Did I say rock hard? I meant real, actual, literal rocks
It turns out Amon is a cute spirit owl who wanted to take away bending cuz it’s a spiritual act and they’re fighting with it and causing bloodshed and he just wants wurl piece
And then Iroh whips out his Tsungi horn and plays this awesome disco/jazz piece and everyone joins in on a dance scene so stupid and awkward stupid that Dreamworks called and congratulated them
Yes, this is a perfect solution
I promise* I will post less Avatar stuff after the finale, but this had to be on my blog.
*maybe
