So my brother and I were just talking on the phone and we realized: Aang might have mastered all four elements but Sokka mastered the non-bending styles from all four nations!
He already knew how to fight with Water Tribe weapons/regalia:
Then, in what’s likely the first Earth Kingdom village he’s ever visited, he learned how to fight with the Warriors of Kyoshi:
When he reached the Northern Air Temple, he was able to tap into the philosophy of the airbenders and realize that the best way to win a battle is to avoid face-to-face confrontation by instead using creative means (and the sky) to take down your opponent:
And finally, when he reached the Fire Nation, Piandao taught him how to forge a unique weapon and hone his swordsmanship:
Sokka learned all four non-bending styles!
Really puts Iroh’s quote into a different context:
“Understanding the other nations will help you become whole.”
Hmm... That's an odd sound for a vase to make. Could you empty the contents for us please? Something about this thing still smells fishy...
this is world cosplay summit team mexico for this year (and i believe this is their qualifying entry? correct me if i’m wrong.)
i gasped. this is so unbelievable. kudos to them. the video didn’t have any links to cosplay pages, so if someone knows the participants’ facebook/tumblr cosplay pages, linking me would be great :)
It looked like their background/scenery bit wasn’t working out so well, but that didn’t stop the fact that this is amazingly well done. Bravo to the team!
for the uninformed i would like to point out the many layers of this tweet:
the op, whose name is currently “captain a.c.a.b.”, is jeffrey cranor, writer of popular podcast “welcome to night vale”
the quote retweet is cecil baldwin, voice of said podcast, “welcome to night vale”
the tweet is liked by noelle stevenson, showrunner/creator of popular netflix show “she ra and the princesses of power”
the joke itself is comparing the tulsa trump rally to tumblr dashcon, which is a circa-2014 tumblr joke
which implies that all three of these internet pseudo celebs found the dashcon joke funny enough to like/retweet/quote-retweet im reeling
WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE WAS SCHEDULED TO PERFORM AT DASHCON YALL THEY PULLED OUT BUT THEY WERE THERE
They weren’t just there, they are indirectly the reason “an extra hour in the ball pit” became a meme.
See, there was supposed to be a WTNV live show at Dashcon, and admittance to it cost an additional $15 on top of the Dashcon ticket price. When the Night Vale crew got there, they were informed that the organizers did not have the money to pay them, so Cecil refused to perform.
Naturally then, the people who had paid for the show started demanding refunds of their $15. But the organizers claimed they didn’t have the money to offer refunds either, and instead offered to let those ticket holders spend an extra hour in the ball pit as a form of reimbursement. There were several posts going around about this, and the famous photo above was taken to illustrate how pathetic of an offer this was. And that’s how the Dashcon ball pit went down in infamy.
there’s another layer to this: noelle stevenson was an invited special guest at dashcon too. she had to moderate her own panel, and even worse - the con organizers didn’t pay for a hotel room for her, so she had to crash on the pull out couch in… the night vale team’s room.
so all of these people were in one room, at dashcon, getting screwed over by dashcon. this is a digital recreation of that hotel room 6 years later.
