Watertribe women are all bamfs.  Inspired by my desire to fix this whitewashed picture and came out with this.  PS CS3 and Paint tool SAI, ~11 hrs.  I’m proud of the result. 

<333 YES THANK YOU

To be fair, the deviantartist (a filipino) who made said whitewashed picture made a version with the corrected colors and less light bloom at his account.

But srsly, no one has to get scared of making the watertribe girls or other characters less brown than they actually are. There are solutions to this, you can catch your habits and deprogram the constant visual need to over-lighten skin tones.

she was just a little Mary Sue

is it because she’s pretty? is because she’s a princess? is it because sokka loved her? what are you basing this on? she is the daughter of a leader who has resisted war for 100 years. she knows her responsibilities to her people. she even tried to stop herself from seeing sokka, even though she desperately wanted to, to keep her engagement and her family’s honor intact. in three episodes, she was shown to be a kind person who was in a position she didn’t like, but had to accept because that’s what she was born to do. this is what the spirit gave her life for. she is a leader. she is a martyr. she may not have thrown daggers or bended fire, but she did what she could for the people she loved. and not just the people she loved. the loss of the moon would have completely damaged both the spirit world and the four nations. she had to clean up the actions of one rash general trying desperately to climb into power. the war would have ended right there, at the battle of the northern water tribe, if she had not sacrificed herself. she realized that her lifeforce was only borrowed, that she had a debt to the spirits and a duty to the world to do what was right. she could have easily run away. no one wanted her to die. no one was forcing her to give herself up. she did not even need to be asked. she knows that there is something bigger than her, even bigger than her tribe, at stake and she walked into her death bravely. how many people would make that ultimate sacrifice? in three episodes, we were shown the single bravest character in all of atla. sorry that she couldn’t stick around to fit whatever standards you have for characters, she was too busy sacrificing herself saving the world to travel around the world with the gaang and have fun adventures.

YUE: WARRIOR PRINCESS

Let me love you ;_;

…Hey,  I just had this weird idea.

You know how everyone hates Asami because she’s so badass and “perfect” and pretty and is dating a popular hot guy?  And she made a big personal sacrifice and split from her only family to fight for what she knew it her heart was right?  And half the fandom (AND THE WRITERS) ignore all this great potential and give her barely any time to shine on her own, because she’s just an accessory for a boring ship they are trying to shove down our collective throats?

tl;dr I want to fight this fanwank with SOME ASAMI/YUE ART. (Korra is also welcome)

blamo you got owned dude. just a mary sue my ass.

if you call yue a mary sue, probably you don’t even know what mary sue means.
