Avatar Wan - Tumblr Posts
I know this might be a stretch but hear me out
I was watching ATLA: The Storm, again, and really looked at the four Avatar relics this time. I know they're meant to represent the four nations- though not entirely sure how, besides thered 4 of them- but what if they ended up representing something else entirely
What if they symbolize the first four major events of Avatar Wan's journey- representing the BEGINNINGS of the first avatar (literally), and future avatars (chosen as children)
So, we have the clay turtle, a pull-string propeller, a wooden hog-monkey, and a wooden hand drum as the relics
Clay turtle: represents the great lion turtle, which allowed Wan to keep his fire, and where he received the other elements
Wood hog-monkey: represents the aye-aye spirit (a primate) who allows Wan to stay at his oasis. Even further, it shows the first sign of the avatar being the bridge between spirits and humans (literally fighting off the 'fire tossers' on a bridge between the spirits and them)
Wooden hand drum: represents the great spirits Raava and Vaatu. The constant struggle and balance between the two symbolized by not only the constant motion of the beads, but also by the spiral painted on the drum
Pull-string propeller: represents the original air nomads, starting the avatar cycle, and the first people he meets after living with the spirits. Also, where he realizes that the world is now unbalanced, and he must help to set it back
Am I going crazy or does that make somewhat sense...
Is it just me, or do half the people in Epic: The Musical fandom drawing Odysseus as Avatar Wan's twin brother? they look so alike in half of the song's animatics!
@theloyalravenclaw asked for an AU in which all of the Avatars introduced onscreen are siblings.
1. In the heart of a working class Republic City neighborhood is a family of seven children. Their father was an earthbender,and their mother was a half Northern Water Tribe half Fire Nation nonbender. Both died a year ago, and ever since, Yangchen, the oldest nonbending daughter has taken over as the parent. She is twenty and very frustrated with her waterbending next oldest brother, Kuruk, who doesn’t understand why she feels the need to be such a tightass.
4. Wan, the oldest of the family and a firebender, moved to Ba Sing Se before their parents died, and he is in the process of raising the money to move home to help his sister out and possibly put Kuruk in a headlock.
3. Kyoshi is a sixteen year old earthbender looking to join the police. She may be a little in love with Chief Lin Beifong. Okay, a lot in love. Roku is fourteen and a dumbass. Everyone ignores him except when he accidentally sets fire to something important.
4. Eight year old Korra is fascinated by the existence of eight year old Avatar Asami in the same city as her, and it is only because he’s such a sweetheart that her twelve year old brother Aang only teases her about this a little. Also when he teases her, she freezes him to things.
5. When Harmonic Convergence comes down in a few years, Aang and Yanghen are going to gt airbending, making every single person in this family a bender, and meaning they’ve got at least one bender of each element.
ALL IN FAVOR OF AN ADVENTURES OF AVATAR WAN SPIN OFF RAISE YOU’RE HAND
I noticed something just now in ATLA. The avatar cycle Goes the same way that Wan met the lion turtles. First he had met the Fire lion turtle, second was Air one, next was Water and then Earth. Its also the same way that Wan mastered the elements. Avatar cycle also Goes Fire, Air, Water, Earth. It now makes Total sense why it Goes this way and not other. Im suprised i haven't picked up on it earlier, just on my third rewatch of LOK.
Imagine if Zuko's role and life and bloodline was taken even more extreme by the developers and writers and decided to make Zuko a descendent of Avatar Wan by making Sozin a descendent.
Hands of Avatars with little headcanons to keep my sanity today
Y/n : Hey Aang ?
Aang : yeah Y/n
Y/n: I just realized something we might be related
Aang: really? How
Y/n: the first Avatar Wan is my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather. There might be more greats in there some where
