Winry Is A Really Good Artist. She Was Always Praised For It When She Was Young, And Ended Up Using That

Winry is a really good artist. She was always praised for it when she was young, and ended up using that precision for her current passion- automail

it could be ;;;;;;;

Well if you have a whole ted talk "pulls up chair and popcorn" I wanna hear all about Artist Sokka!

HHRGSGDH so you’ve chosen violence thank you so much LETS GO

DEEP BREATH

So first thing first I believe he’d be an amazing artist simply because like have u seen him? he has the range. I don’t remember who said that sokka was the davinci of the avatar universe but it’s TRUE.


Second his bad doodles were played for laughs and i get it but LIKE. He was 15!! And he grew up in a war zone where I doubt he had much time to practice drawing!! But he’s stubborn and dedicated and creative as hell, and he canonically enjoys drawing a lot (the Appa pictures, the submarine, and the portrait of the gaang in the last episode are just a few I remember), give it a few years and with that kind of practice he’s going to develop some serious skill. 


And lastly my favorite argument in favor of the Sokka artist rights thesis is the entirety of the episode with Piandao. The parallels between art, calligraphy and swordsmanship are made very clear; among common samurai practices (influenced by Zen) there was calligraphy and ink painting, because a stroke of the brush was just as decisive and irreversible as the stroke of a sword. (Oh and also haikus… so yeah while we’re at it poet sokka rights too) SO BASICALLY what I’m trying to say is that since Sokka is a warrior and Piandao initiated him to that philosophy, not only his art would become excellent, but also his calligraphy would be immaculate too. (I still love the idea of Sokka’s writing getting messy when he’s brainstorming or excited because his brain just functions too fast for his hand to keep up lmao.)

Aaaand that’s about it thank you for coming to my ted talk I hope it made sense artist 👏 sokka 👏fucking👏 rights 👏5ever👏

It makes me sad when people think that Jinx’s creativity is just part of her mental illness like it’s all just part of her being “crazy” when Jinx/Powder has always been shown to be a colourful and creative person from the beginning.

Vi’s flashbacks in episode 6 show us how even before her parents died, back when she was basically a baby, Little Powder coloured on the walls and drew pictures of monsters.

Her love of bright colours is something she carries with her throughout her childhood.

Her room at Vander’s is similarly full of colours and drawings, she has a whole box of crayons that she seems to use on everything, not just her bombs but basically every surface around her.

We even see hints that Jinx/Powder has a love of mechanics that goes beyond just bomb making.  She’s excited to find the Valdiani at Jayce’s lab and she’s already talented enough to build in entire arcade game in a basement, her shooter game also show how much she loves drawing and colour outside of just decorating her weaponry. 

Powder/Jinx was always an artist, an inventor and a creator, she has always loved colouring the world around her. It’s an innate part of her personality, it not just “lol crazy Jinx is crazy”. It’s actually part of her character’s tragedy. She’s so talented and creative, Vi remembers little Powder lighting up their dark home and adding colour to their grey world but the circumstances of growing up in Zaun meant that she never got to be an artist or inventor or anything like that, instead she’s just left to be a part of the endless cycle of violence in Zaun and Piltover.  

Art request if it inspires you: Sokka gleefully painting, perhaps ink on his face :D Hair as long as you want lol

as long as i want, you say?

thanks for the ask! this was fun~

Inside Silco’s coat pocket is a memory Jinx thought he put in the trash can.
