...Follow-up Question. Do You Mind If People Ship YOU With Anyone?

...Follow-up question. Do you mind if people ship YOU with anyone?

I don’t mind, no. Why? Did you have any in mind? Do tell! *winks, smirking* 

Are you looking forward to the new live action ATLA show?

Honestly… not really? Like, as much as I want to be excited that we’re getting new Avatar stuff, I’m not feeling very good about the quality of the new show.

On the one hand, it is good that Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino are back to work on the new show. On the other hand, they also worked on The Legend of Korra and the Avatar comics, neither of which I was a fan of. And the fact that this new show is going to be without the help of series director and head writer Aaron Ehasz, who came up with some of the show’s best ideas, also concerns me.

On the one hand, it’s great that they announced that they would be giving the new live-action adaptation a racially accurate cast of POC actors, as one thing that was criticized in M. Night Shyamalan’s much maligned adaptation was the whitewashing of many of the characters. On the other hand, let’s not forget that Shyamalan’s movie was inherently flawed. I mean, we aren’t seriously going to pretend that the earthbender prison scene would have been any better with a racially accurate cast, are we? No, there are more aspects of making a good show, like the quality of the writing.

And… okay, let’s be honest: How many times has there been a live-action adaptation of a popular animated property that was actually good? The only ones I can think of are Scooby-Doo (2002) and its sequel, Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed (2004). And even those have very mixed reception.

Moreover, rebooting it just feels unnecessary. What I’d prefer Bryke do at this point is abandon Avatar and work on some new projects. Stop beating a dead horse. Come up with new ideas, new characters, a new world. That’s what Aaron Ehasz has done with The Dragon Prince.

So I’m trying not to be too pessimistic about the new show, but I’m still not looking forward to it, no.

Will do!

Well, since you asked… I may or may not be in the midst of writing a fanfic with you and a certain blonde-haired knight. ;)

A knight in shining armor, eh? They sound pretty and charming and all, but a bit of a stickler for the rules if they’re a knight, no? I’m not sure how we’d get along, but I might be willing to give it a go, once we got to know each other. 

(OOC: Fam…I need this fic in my life. I have a mighty need for this top quality content in my life. Please let me know when your fic is posted? Please?)

I don't know how to feel about sleeveless Callum in The Dragon Prince if those leaks are real; however, the worst part is that it rendered my old drawing inaccurate to his clothing.

So I made this edit in ten minutes in MS Paint.

Original drawing can be found here.

Happy (late) Halloween to all my followers! I wanted to draw something for the occasion, so here’s a picture of my characters dressed up in costume: Al is a skeleton, Sabrina is a mummy, and Reilly is Toph Beifong. (Is it too on-the-nose to draw the blind girl dressed as Toph? Eh, IDK.)

Apologies for not having this finished on time, BTW; my art tablet started crapping out on me as I was working on this. I hope it’s not dying. (This is also why I went with this more minimalist coloring style instead of my usual shading/coloring.)

I hope you enjoy it regardless!
