‘who would win in a fight between aang and korra’ isn’t even a question bc aang would be like ‘i would NEVER fight with one of my future lives’ and korra would not hesitate before sucker-punching a twelve year old
But what if it were adult aang??
okay then aang would be like ‘i would NEVER fight with one of my future lives’ and korra would not hesitate before sucker-punching a 45 year old
I haven’t been on tumblr for quite as long as a lot of people but over several years I’ve noticed this interesting gradual sorta,, shift in the general culture? that it went from this mostly depressed, nihilistic outlook where people would regularly joke about hating themselves and being hopeless and depressed, to a wave of vehemence of “STOP hating everything actually the world is Good and you deserve love!!!” type posts, to now, where those aggressive ‘PSAs’ have faded away and instead I regularly see people romanticizing simple things like stars and hot tea and rainy mornings, and waxing poetic about their friends, and just trying to put love out there. and I don’t know exactly what that means (someone who knows more than me could probably say something smart about generational expression and trauma or popular perception of mental health and whatnot), but I do know that it makes my heart very full to see people learn to love the world and themselves by extension, and a whole userbase adopting healthier coping mechanisms, and therefore teaching the younger users to do so as well. I might just be following different people, but I really do think we’ve grown. everyone has grown. five years ago it wasn’t unusual for the next post on my dash to be a scathing commentary on why nothing matters or an anon ripping into someone they barely knew or someone complaining about how pathetic their interests are. now I have mutuals who get excited and spam reblog art of cows and friends I see tagging each other in pictures of frogs and strangers writing paragraphs about how much I matter. it makes me happy. idk. just an observation I wanted to make. I think people are good and everyone’s just trying their best at the end of the day
OK so here’s chara’s new design…. yes i know i can Stick To One Design for 5 minutes. i probs should just be a character designer. Chara has a gold soul in my h/c (i posted about it recently, i can link it again if needed) and while I won’t make it a Plot Point here because its Very Much A Fan Theory and I don’t wanna lean too hard on that. but ye, if you wanna see it as chara regaining their colorscheme from before death, that works too!
anyway, this is the last new design for chara until the epilogue so! gotta update the banner/avatar again LOL
tho uh, before that, wanna address why flower-chara didn’t last so long: its because the story is nearing it’s end, there’s a few more storybeats/twists left but then it’s over for a bit, then i’ll come back after a break to do the epilogue + then months later do the fangame to finish darkworld
point being, i didn’t want to linger on it (it wasn’t even supposed to be a “twist” it was a last minute choice to make them full flower. i originally was having it as a time limit near-the-breaking-point kinda thing. but like, chara already went thru their breaking point! so that didn’t make sense.) its really funny how last minute changes can happen for the better! like, toriel was supposed to come in later, and then we’d get the emotional pay off after the climax??? it was stupid. i’m much happier with this version.
i do wish maddie’s plotline could of been done over the christmas break ;v; its a shame since its christmasy and there would of been so much more MTT and dreemurr family shinangins. a whole story beat about chara potentially meeting asriel on live tv (while still in separate countries) but it would show both a Nicer side to Asriel’s public persona that hints to how he actually did want to see chara again. …while also still using the satire of the Idol King figurehead still. but i feel there’s been enough of that already in the story, and esp after the flowey reveal, it’s unneeded. obviously in the original plan, asriel wouldn’t turn to flowey backstage. but hey! now i got time to write more flowey and yun. so that’s nice
anyway the redraw is back in swing btw! feel free to read it as it updates :> it’ll change the story sliiightly to fit my newer views/ways of writing + connect the story better to be more cohesive. it’s a lot of fun, and makes toriel gunnin after chara lmao a call back in that version instead lol
