in which Sokka never changes.
This has to be the greatest Katara/Sokka sibling art I’ve ever seen.
modern gaang
well, even though Mai is not exactly a part of gaang and there is no Suki. I just started drawing it with Zuko, and apparently Zuko turned out holding Mai and I continued drawing them together. Tokka is not supposed to be a couple here..or maybe it is.. I am evil, who knows:D
I figured there won’t be anything bad, if I will actually keep Aang’s arm tattoos:3 And Sokka with his hair down, because Sokka is hot with his hair down
though I didn’t quite manage to make him hot here.but I love his t-shirt:DZuko.. I guess Zuko would pretty much wear hoody almost all the time, and in a way trying to hide his face, because, let’s face it, people in real world are cruel. But, yeah, Zuko is Zuko so who knows how much he would actually care about it. Also, I guess Zuko would be that type of don’t-even-dare-to-look-at-MY-girlfriend:D
PS Mai is not angry at Zuko, she’s just unimpressed over someone she sees. and..well, Toph is Toph:P
Toph’s blindness was one of the most excellently handled aspects of AtLA because it wasn’t treated like a disability. So often in shows (and especially children’s animation) disabled characters are limited to apperances in “very special episodes” where the main characters have to learn a lesson that these people are capable “in spite of” their handicaps, like that episode of Kim Possible wherein Kim constantly stumbles over herself around Felix. This approach is often just as insulting as making them the butt of jokes, because it’s patronizing and it limits the amount of roles disabled characters are allowed to have.
Avatar challenged that stereotype with Teo, and then sent a giant middle finger its way by introducing Toph. She’s turned what would otherwise be a disability into an advantage, and she’s not afraid to crack jokes about it. She functions well enough that the other characters often forget that she is blind, but at the same time it’s an integral part of her bending and allows her to be the greatest earthbender ever. It sends a powerful message that having a physical disability does not make you less of a person, and often affords you a unique perspective that the so-called “normal” people never get to experience.
One of the many reasons I love this show.
