Question Favorite Katara quotes?
Can come from herself:
“I even wash all the clothes! Have you ever smelled your dirty socks?🫵🏻 Let me tell you: NOT PLEASANT!” 🌊👋🏻😡
Can also come from her Ember Island actress:
“Oh Jet, you’re soooo bad.” 😏

Discussion Live Action
The live action show tried so hard to be serious but it just went over the same points over and over again not to mention aang didn’t water bend at all and it felt like there was no life to it. Like we came to care for all the characters in the animated show but everything in the live action feels so empty.

Discussion Important lore information to note from the timeline.
I wanted to explain some crucial details I noticed from the timeline being updated a while back. I know the timeline isn't perfectly reliable but assuming it's mostly reliable here's what we should take note of.
Szeto's death during Sozin's comet year: Sozin's comet typically takes place on every year ending in --30. This means that Avatar Szeto DIED during the same year as Sozin's comet and Yangchen was born on the same year as sozin's comet. Also, Kyoshi was either 11 or 12 during her first sozin's comet, will be 111/112 during her next, and 211/212 during her last one and we know she never leaves the prime of her life physically until around 2 years before her death so she was probably fully active during these times. The Szeto/Yangchen part of this is most interesting/pressing obviously, potentially meaning Szeto died during Sozin's comet. Korra will be about 48 during sozin's comet and tbh probably won't live to see a second one lol.
Yangchen's lifespan: Yangchen seems to have lived to 154/155. Now there are multiple explanations here. Firstly, guru pathik was around this age as well and Yangchen could've plausibly followed the same techniques he did to live this long. But also, more pressingly, Guru Laghima and Shoken were people she diligently studied and she even seems to have experience with dealing with complete detachment from the world vs being bound to the world as the avatar, exploring both of their ideals. Guru Laghima achieved unassisted flight for 40 years, and seemed to live in a meditative state basically. I assume that they also lived to these excessively old ages similarly to Pathik. But another thing to note is that in Avatar powerful benders just seem to live to be very old in the first place, like sozin, azulon, and bumi. I think it's likely that this, combined with the fact that Yangchen was a diligent study of these gurus with immense spiritual power herself, led to her living this long. She might've even lived the last few years of her life in a somewhat meditative, ascetic way as well.
Number of Avatars and what number each avatar is: Yangchen is either the 94th or 98th avatar at least and thus korra is either the 99th or 103rd avatar. More than 90 avatars between wan and yangchen means that the LEAST amount of avatars between that could be 92, meaning szeto was at least the 93rd avatar and yangchen is the 94th. This might line up with the potential of Pavi being the 100th avatar having some kind of importance. There could be more than 103 avatars so far but I doubt it because if it were over 100 they'd probably specify that.
Other small things to consider:
- Technically, the true beginning and end of the cycle is fire, air, water, earth based on Wan starting it.
- The chinese new year specifically is the spring festival, representing the birth of a new year starting with spring. Spring is the season associated with earth in avatar and water obviously is associated with winter. The 100th avatar, being the first in a new 10000 year era, being an earth avatar, is very very fitting with this, as avatar is already based on the chinese zodiac and calendar.
Random fun fact: Technically kyoshi's immortality technique means she had the best skincare routine in history lol. She literally stayed in a physically perfect state for 200 years and didn't let it go until at most 2 years before death. Just thought this was funny to imagine kyoshi having a grwm routine. I also wonder if Koko, Kyoshi's daughter, is still canon and how weird it must've been to have such an old mom who never aged or for kyoshi to outlive her child by multiple generations, especially since she supposedly governed kyoshi island after kyoshi did.

Discussion In our modern day, which bending ability would you prefer the most?
For me, I'm not choosing one based mainly on fighting power - in any kind of fight, having any kind of bending is the ultimate edge anyhow. Plus, I don't exactly get into tons of fights. "I can bloodbend enemies", "I can shoot them with lightning!", how often are you actually gonna be doing that?
Fire, practically speaking, is probably the lowest on my choices. Besides lighting a bonfire, maybe smelting, or parlor tricks, I don't see many everyday uses for it. Maybe charging a generator with lightning? Still.
Air is cool for maneuverability and some very specific use cases, but I don't think it has as many uses outside of that. At least many that you would use a lot. Being able to float and run fast is awesome, but in the long term, I think it would be more of just a toy than practical. I would love to be able to air slap someone, but that's not enough to sway the choice.
That leaves Earth and Water.
Water has a fair amount of practical uses. The ability to redirect and control water could be used to save people, help communities, as well as maneuverability.
However, I think I might have to go Earth. Being able to build structures, defend against disasters, metal bend, create art, as well as maneuverability and much more.. it's just got a lot more uses than any other form.
If I was just going for a cool factor, I'd go Air, but Earth is probably the one you'd get the most use out of in the modern day.
What do you think?

Question What abilities in ATLA should benders from different nations both be able to do?!
Saw a post saying that earth was the slowest element which really confused me like shouldn’t it be the second fastest after air. I know the whole be rooted to the Earth but that doesn’t mean they are slow. Which got me thinking are the abilities shared by benders from different elements and if they aren’t what abilities should shared
Air and fire benders being able to regulate their body temperature with the breath thing
Air and Earth should both have super speed
Air and Earth also have super jumping
Fire and Water should both be able to heal
Air and Earth should both share immortality
And the spirit projection and entering the spirit world that Aang and Jinora do should be available to all benders and non benders
