This Little Moment Of Appa Giving Aang A Gentle Nude With His Nose Is Actually Pretty Meaningful To Me?

This little moment of Appa giving Aang a gentle nude with his nose is actually pretty meaningful to me? Because it’s not just an animal trying to comfort his owner/friend….it’s kind of a moment of the two of them giving each other mutual comfort. 

Because Appa is the only one present who actually was there to witness what Aang went through, and the only other person in the world who is really able to somewhat understand it. 

Hurt/comfort writers see a character and be like “I want to see them fall so far but I also want them to land on something soft”

can we see a crying gon and killua comforting him?? or the other way around either is fine - love your art btw !!

they need it after chimeras hell

What appeals to me about whump: an incomplete list

It's so sad how Adora is spiraling in this scene, actually believing that Catra turning more "evil" and the attack on Bright Moon are her fault. Shadow Weaver really messed her up. Poor bebe 🥺

But then Glimmer tries to comfort her by hugging her

It's such a sweet and caring way to stop the negative self-talk. Additionally, rational arguments probably wouldn't work, so she just expresses her affection.

It's so, so intimate: Glimmer's head rests against Adora's chest, she's probably hearing her upset heartbeat right now. In this moment, Adora visibly calms down. In the show, Glimmer tells Adora "You got this and we got your back", which is very sweet.

But the embrace alone conveys so much love, trust and unterstanding that even without the dialogue, the message would still be clear:

I see you

I love you

I'm here
