I think one of my favorite realizations from my AtLA rewatch is how often Iroh was just vibing with the Gaang, even when Zuko was still trying to capture them. Pirate episode? Iroh’s just standing right next to Katara going “yeah this kind of is your fault”. North Pole? Iroh’s got a whole scene with Katara and Yue. He even gestures to her to stay away from Aang at one point and she actually listens. Tea with Toph. Man truly spends the whole show vibing with everyone
I really wish we got to see him and sokka interact. Their wit would have bounced off each other amazingly
Ahh ok so I know this is an artblog and I never reblog anything, but I had to chime in!
So the whole white glove thing comes from early black & white animation, most notably the Mickey Mouse shorts, but also the Looney Tunes and the Max Fleischer toons. The gloves serve two purposes:
One; the gloves are big and makes those over-the-top hand gestures more prominent. It allows the characters to be more expressive, which is necessary for some of the mute cartoons.
Secondly, these characters tend to be completely black, like Felix the Cat (who was one of the inspirations for Mickey). The black color is easier to animate, but you end up with a problem: if their hands were over their bodies or a dark background, you wouldn’t see them! In Mickey’s first appearance in Steamboat Willie, Mickey and Pete don’t have their gloves, and everything kind of bleeds together.
Adding the gloves in the later shorts, you can see the distinction between his body and hands. Problem solved!
Even after technicolor cartoons arrived, the gloves stuck.
Apparently, Bugs Bunny didn’t wear gloves for a bit after the color cartoons came, but audiences asked why he stopped wearing them so the animators changed it back.
I FEEL AS THOUGH A HUGE PART OF MY CHILDHOOD HAS BEEN UNTANGLED!!!
Imagine a karen in ba sing se demanding to see the manager of a local tea shop and she turns around and the fucking firelord says “i’m the manager on duty”
Sometimes, an emo bird needs a little help with admitting his feelings.
Dark Shadow is a part of Tokoyami’s body, so he’s always there. Plus, he has a mind of his own. So I always figured he was privy to things Tokoyami wouldn’t admit to.
Note: “Fumi” is just Fumikage (Tokoyami’s first name) shortened. I kinda HC it as Dark Shadow’s affectionate nickname for him.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
