Nickelodean's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" Discusion

[Princess Mahi]

people are entitled to fan whatever they want, if its not canon, thats too bad, but its ALLOWED

[ReikaiDemon]

Why do you say that? People are entitled to like something different than canon. It's not really an attack on Mike and Bryan to not like the main pairing.

But mainly I'm happy that they finally confirmed that Jet died. At least he's in hot guy heaven and not burning in hot guy hell.
Well, it's not that, it's that the crazy section of the Zutarians that actually HATE Bryke for NOT making Zutara happen. Some even adamantly swore to never ever see Sozin's Comet, because it didn't affirm their ship. That's a little extreme for something that is just entertainment.
I'm okay with people disliking the canon pairing, but if they just completely wangst all over it, then they don't deserve any sympathy, it's a cartoon for God's sake, a font of enjoyment, and if they let it make them seethe with fury, they deserve a smack. There is a lot more worse things in the world that deserves that devotion of mental energy.
Besides that, Avatar isn't their creative expression, fanarts and fanfics are, just keep them separate, there's no need to curse the great, and creative minds of the Avatar staff, they deserve praise for making such a widely enjoyable show. They've made more than just a cartoon, they've set inspiration in many, and enriched cartoon culture.

That's true, but the issue with the Zutara fandom transcended beyond just that.

I'm still upset that everyone is on wit's end over this whole "Zutara" thing, when the real thing we need closure on is exactly what the story of Sumokka is. Srsly gaiz! U can't just make such huge hints and never touch on it again! :sob

That's true, but on the bright side they're in the minority. Overall I think the Zutara problem is more of an Internet exaggeration on both sides. People tend to go bonkers on the Internet. Something I think worth mentioning is that most of the wangst over the ship joking video from comic con was done before anyone actually saw the video, they had just heard from a second-hand account. When most saw it they pretty much calmed down a lot more and admitted that it was funny.

They confirmed his death long before the SDCC. I knew he was dead the day the episode aired...actually I saw it on Turbonick a few days before.

But did they actually say it before? From what I understand that's a debate that's been going on since it happened. That's what made the joke in the Ember Island Players so funny, nobody could figure out what happened and the creator's acknowledged that. I never really tried to figure it out, I just thought if they were going to kill him it was a strange way of doing it since they were pretty obvious with Zhao's death.

I believe Bryan confirmed it at last year's SDCC in response to a question as to whether Nick intervenes a lot to censor the show. Mike and Bryan both confirmed it in the Lake Laogai commentary.
Jet's death wasn't necessarily strange, the gang just didn't stick around to see him die. His injuries were also beyond Katara's healing abilities, anyway all signs led to Jet dying at Lake Laogai.

[Taurus Versant]

Isn't that what makes it hilarious though?

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

A brief essay on why the Avatar finale was the most brutal (canon) ship tease evar.

Full of spoilers for the finale! Will not be whited out. Some spoiler space will be left.

x

To sum up for those who haven't watched -- in the immediately prior episode (and in the 'Previously on Avatar' for the finale), Katara tells Aang that she's 'confused about her feelings'.(*) Then in the finale, her and Aang barely talk to each other in the opening scene, after which Aang disappears off on a sorta spirit journey and between that and the final boss fight, does not reunite with the group until the very end of the finale. So, her and Aang, for that episode, have little to zero interaction /at all/, so far.

Meanwhile, Katara and Zuko have /lots/ of friendly interaction -- she reassures him that Iroh will forgive him, she's his primary emotional support, she gets partnered with him for the run on Azula, and it all builds up to the Last Agni Kai scene.

Wherein Zuko, who is /kicking Azula's ass/, then goes down because he /jumped in front of a lightning bolt that Azula deliberately threw at Katara to bait Zuko out of his stance/. Zuko couldn't redirect because he didn't have a chance to get set. There's even a slow-motion sequence and a long drawn-out 'NOOOOOOOOO!' So, he totally takes the bullet to save Katara's life.

After Azula is finally dealt with, Katara then heals Zuko's injuries, and they block the scene and how she's looking down at him almost /exactly/ like the scene where she healed Aang in the season 2 finale. Zuko's eyes open, he looks up and weakly whispers "Thank you, Katara."

Katara, /with tears in her eyes/, says warmly "I think I'm the one who should be thanking you."

She then helps him to his feet, and they both stand there looking mournfully down at the broken and insanely shrieking Azula as she struggles against her bonds, with /Katara's hand still on Zuko's arm/ from where she helped him up.

(edit) Can be watched here -- 1o-IrF2sXuA

And then, /immediately/ after all this, the very next scene is Mai's reunion with Zuko, wherein she:

* Calls Zuko her 'boyfriend' and otherwise proclaims her affection for him.
* Helps him get dressed in his formal robes for his coronation as Fire Lord, their mannerisms in so doing more appropriate for a longtime married couple than a pair of teenagers in a romance.
* Kisses him. Twice.
* And Zuko all throughout shows through his every word and mannerism that he is not only crazy for this girl, but completely whipped. Totally. Entirely.

About four minutes later, you then get the ending shot of the series, which is Katara and Aang on the balcony of the Jasmine Dragon tea shop in Ba Sing Se, looking out at the most romantic sunset evar, she's blushing, soft music, long soulful look in each other's eyes, a hug... and then they start playing the 'Cave of Two Lovers' romantic music from season 2, and *bam*, the biggest damn kiss you've ever seen 'em throw. And this time, /Katara/ starts it.

The End.

The creators of Avatar are not only the worst ship teasers in the universe, but they use the most insanely brutal Ship Sinking overkill /evar/.



(*) My own theory is that she was terrified Aang wouldn't survive his confrontation with Ozai, and didn't know how to deal with that except by keeping Aang at emotional arms' length until after comet day, wherein she'd either be free to open her heart to him, or else would be mourning him. Maybe not entirely fair to the kid, but totally understandable, especially for a girl her age. But, that's me wondering, they never really said why.

Hey guys have you ever watched hat Avatar show?

[Jove]

The fandom is in disarray. Zutarians have gone berserk, and the rest seem incapable of differentiating between "Book 4" and "season 4." A lot of people are now saying that Mike and Bryan have "clearly" retired from the show, when all they said was that the books were named after the elements Aang had to learn, so there won't be a Book 4: Air.

And a lot of these people seem convinced that Nick told Mike and Bryan that they do not want more seasons of Avatar. Honestly, we learned so little at this SDCC... people are going nuts.

Too bad about the mini-episodes, though. But I'd rather have Mike and Bryan work on the movies and continue to develop further ideas for the TV show than spend their time on superfluous stuff.

[Taurus Versant]

Which was more WHAT?!:angrywife

Which was more Melon Lord. :del

As for the minisodes, didn't they say they had to cut the scene of Zuko meeting his mother from the finished product? Seems a damn big scene to cut.

So I have finally seen it. It was brilliant! I cried when Zuko and Iroh were re-united, and had a geekasm during the final fight between Aang and Ozai.

It was really all great but... where the fuck is the milf? :wha

I was very eagerly anticipating her reappearance, but noooooooooo... no Ursa for you, Graham. :arg

Oh well, fucking awesome finale! Zuko shot up to my number 1 favourite Avatar character spot, and lols, Kataang = fucking cannon. :awesome

Azula, however, is probably not one of them. Its likely now (if not certain) that she was a /learned/ sociopath, not a congenital one. Raised by sane parents, she may very well have started out with just a little more childhood cruelty than average (remember that her mom was disturbed by her behavior even at a young age) but still capable of learning and growing out of it.

Unfortunately, she was raised by a flat-out psychopath, and learned early on what daddy did to children who disappointed him. Also that grandpa was entirely willing to order his grandson offed to punish daddy. So both her survival and her need to have at least one of two parents like her meant that she had to learn how to be more like daddy, and so she applied all her prodigious intelligence and willpower into molding herself into being a complete heartless bastard just like Ozai.

Who then, in the end, repaid all this dedication and effort and /extreme/ twisting yourself out of shape inside to please him with... complete and total indifference. He didn't even care enough about Azula to hate her the same way he hated on Zuko. He just gave her a useless sinecure to go sit on while he declared himself supreme ruler of everything, and didn't even take her along because... no reason at all, really. Just couldn't be bothered to think of it.

And so, Azula, already starting to crack from having lost everyone and everything in her life /except/ her father's approval... suddenly realizes the truth. Her father is such a narcissistic megalomaniac that he can't even be arsed to give two shits if she's alive or dead.

Cue complete mental & emotional collapse.

Y'know, when you think about it, what Ozai did to Azula is perhaps the single most evil fucking thing he's done in the series.(*) And this is a guy whose resume includes /attempted genocide/.

There's a belief that if you desire to follow in your father's, or any preceding ancestor's footsteps, you inherit their sins as well. So, pretty much, the genocide of the airbender tribes by Sozin is on his resume as well. Not to mention all the raids on the water tribe

This is the most brutal Ship Tease (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShipTease) in the history of the universe.

That's awesome. Oh my Gracious.

[Jove]

On the subject of Azula:

Ozai wasn't indifferent towards her. Years before, he presented her performance to Azulon and called her a prodigy. At the Royal Plaza, it wasn't indifference, it was simply Ozai's self-absorption. He wanted to conquer the Earth Kingdom, alone. It was active; he spurned her. For Azula, it was total rejection.

The problem was that Azula spent 6 months on her own, autonomously bullying everyone she came across and single-handedly manipulating the fall of Ba Sing Se, one of the greatest feats in Fire Nation history. Compared to everyone else, she was a magnificent bender and brilliant tactician... but compared to Ozai, she was inferior. Therefore, she worshiped him. So she had to confront deficiency in addition to the rejection at the Plaza.

And she was then haunted by her lonliness. From that, the paranoia of all martinet autocrats overwhelmed her. She betrayed others, and caused others to betray others... but with Mai and Ty Lee at the Boiling Rock, she realized that she could be betrayed by others. When she became Fire Lord, an ultimate position of power, this fear became proportional.


Azula's problem was that she had a tinge of normalcy within her. Not necessarily benefice, but normalcy. These were Roku's genetics, the genetics that Zuko fully inherited. Zuko's struggle was with the bit of Sozin within him that tainted his Roku-like nature. Azula was the converse. And it's the reason that she cared about things, such as Ursa's treatment of her. Ozai didn't care about anything not related to his supremacy.

What's weird about Azula is that she had a truly ambivalent attitude towards Zuko. She was relentlessly cruel to him as children, but she grabbed his hand and dragged him behind the curtain as Ozai was scolded by Azulon. She felt some sort of connection to him. When Zuko returned to the Fire Nation, she lied to Ozai about Aang's death in order to implicate Zuko if Aang survived, but she also went out of her way to advise Zuko to be careful about seeing Iroh, despite having no reason to do so.

That's why I believe that if she could reconcile with Ursa, she could regain some of her normalcy. It would be a cataclysmic life of wild mood swings and emotional contention, but at least a life outside of an asylum and with flourishes of happiness.

[Bolt Crank]

Do you all think Azula's earlier near defeat by Katara influenced her behavior in the final fight against the two?

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Compared to everyone else, she was a magnificent bender and brilliant tactician... but compared to Ozai, she was inferior.

Inferior firebender, yes. Ozai had more raw power than Azula, that's been plain ever since 'Day of Black Sun'. Although Ozai had decades more of experience to help account for that.

But inferior tactician? Inferior manipulator? When the hell did Ozai ever do anything that impressed us with his /brain/? I cannot remember even one instance. Hell, even Ozai's plan in the finale was actually /Azula's/ plan. And Ozai's usurpation of Iroh & Azulon was because of /Ursa's/ idea, not his.


Do you all think Azula's earlier near defeat by Katara influenced her behavior in the final fight against the two?

Doubtful. It was the day of Sozin's Comet -- Azula's a hundred times as powerful as Katara right then, and knows it. What would she be afraid of?

Nah, she took that lightning shot at Katara because she knew that in a straight fight vs. Zuko, she was going to lose. She was taking hits she couldn't block... Zuko wasn't. She was getting tired... Zuko wasn't. So, she did what she did best, and cheated.

[Noah]

Which defeat? At Ba Sing Se? I highly doubt Azula would consider that a defeat at all, considering that Zuko interrupted the fight and they switch partners. Even though Katara completely owned her in that fight, she didn't officially lose, so the thought wouldn't even occur to her.

[Jove]

ugdSxT-dRrQ

I'll be honest, Blacks; I hated all of the songs. However, that last minute was amazing. I like the kitchen sink approach to editing AMV's.


As far as Ozai's tactical/manipulative skills, watch the scene in DoBS when he uses Ursa's fate as bait to keep Zuko around. Juxtaposed with Azula's similar situation with Aang/Toph/Sokka, it's meant to show where Azula learned such things.

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Interesting note from TVTropes' "Cute Bruiser" entry:

It was mentioned on the DVD Commentary that Toph wasn't originally female (the Earthbender in the opening and by extension The Boulder was the original design), but they changed it partially because they liked the concept of a twelve year old girl kicking the asses of a bunch of people much larger than her.

So, originally, we'd have had a big guy on the group travelling with them, being the strongman and then getting them all in trouble with his boisterous behavior, drinking, and coarse manners?

Well, that could have been amusing.

But I join everyone here in being /so glad/ they went with the Blind Bandit instead.





From Avatarspirit.net:

SDCC's Avatar panel wrapped up at about 9 PM PST last night. The panel lasted about an hour and 45 minutes and was composed of Avatar creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and Avatar Director Joaquim Dos Santos. The panel program was as follows:

[...]

* Zuko finding Ursa was actually storyboarded for the finale by Avatar Director Joaquim Dos Santos, but was nixed by Mike DiMartino - not really sure why.
* Avatar will be airing in order on Nicktoons "soon" - no date was announced though.
* The lion turtle taught Aang how to spirit bend (Bryan called it "unbending", but still not clear exactly what to call it).
* Aang can spirit bend or take other people's bending away at will, it wasn't just a one time thing.
* A new Avatar MMORPG will be coming out soon, presumably like World of Warcraft or Everquest
* This won't be the last Avatar panel at SDCC.
* Mike made it clear that at least the first live action movie is a very faithful retelling of Book One: Water.





Oh, re: the Southern Water Tribe thing -- while surfing other boards, I saw a post that mentioned that Hakoda spent some time sailing around the South Pole, 'going from village to village', looking for another Waterbender to train young Katara. (And finding none, as the Fire Nation raids had put them all in the concentration camp with Hama the crazy bloodbender.)

So, there we have it -- there /is/ more than just Sokka & Katara's home village in the Southern Water Tribe. They did decentralize.

Well, what can I say? "Sozin's Comet" was absolutely a great ending to an amazing series! Too bad it's over, although I'm looking forward to watch the third season again on DVD.


Avatar really went out with a bang. Although it's a pity that there won't be a fourth season, I think it's a good decision. The main goal has been achieved, and I'll happily think back at several of those very memorable battles, scenes and plottwists. Like Zuko's betrayal in "Crossroads of Destiny." (I was so disappointed when he did that, and even a bit angry. Looking back, I realize how great a job the creators did to make a viewer feel angry/disappointed at a cartoon character!)

A fourth season is a very real possibilty. There just won't be a Book 4, with these characters.

That's a great motivational poster, Rei. There's a ton of amazing ones in the Avatar fandom. This has always been my favorite:

I didn't know that. You mean that they could make another series focused on another Avatar? That would be nice, although I'm slightly worried it would not be different enough. Thanks for the info.

[Bolt Crank]

Azula is completely, profoundly, batshit crazy.

And not crazy like Ozai "delusion of grandeur try and burn down an entire continent" crazy, I'm talking "howling and spitting like a wild animal crazy".

In her current state Azula couldn't lead a ballroom dance much less an entire nation.

With the volume 4 dvd coming out tomorrow, I'm think of doing a Rewatch sequel for the last ten episodes, you up for it?

[Mider T]

I would be game but I'm still on and off hiatus, maybe when the box set comes out.

[Jove]

I would be game but I'm still on and off hiatus, maybe when the box set comes out.

That would be September 16. I think that's actually a wise decision. That gives these final episodes a bit of time to marinate.

I also figured that each episode is 24 minutes. With 61 episodes, that works out to 24 hours, 24 minutes. One day, I'm going to do this, but I might need to do this with friends. Friends, of course, that would never agree to such a thing.

[The Cheat]

So anyone look forward to that marathon where they air every single episode avatar in order on nicktoons?

This just in, avatar finale scored 5.6 million viewers making it the most watched avatar episode and among the 5 most watched cable movies that week.

A lot of Zutarians are convinced that Aang "let go" of Katara, because he went into the Avatar State. The final scene was trifle, I suppose. They also believe that Aang never showed any interest in Katara, and that she would not even make it into the top 5 of characters Aang had affection for in the show.

This is not going to die; it'll last until the movies, when it will have a fiery rebirth. And if Mike and Bryan make another show in the Avatar universe, with new characters, it will continue into that show. They won't even transfer their feelings into a similar pairing; they'll just demand Zutara.

Well..who's going to be Aang's main squeeze if Katara isn't the one (that has been hinted from the beginning)? Only Onji, and she was a one eppy character. Aang is the main character that lost his entire race. The creators wouldn't leave him without that someone he cares about at his side at the end.

Actually when you think about it, Katara was flirting around with just about everyone...lol. And until we knew about Zuko/Mai, a lot of people didn't think Zuko even thought about girls, much less had a GF somewhere...lol.

The creators played the pairing fans to the max and had fun doing it. Zutara will live on in fanfic, it just won't be part of canon.

Someone asked Bryke about the mini-episodes at the SDCC signing last saturday, and they seemed genuinely confused. They said they had not been told about them. So they are almost certainly not happening.

Ah yes, Shyu! That's an excellent charcter to bring up, because when the coronation scene began, I thought for sure that he would be the one to place the topknot-piece on Zuko. I definitely looked for him, but he wasn't there. I was surprised he wasn't shown, since Aang directly asks about what will happen to him at the end of 106.

That'll be cool, image waterbending globs of oil while using firebending to set them off.

[Taurus Versant]

Will bending flourish or die off? That's the big question, looking into their future.

[masterriku]

today is the eclispe right then i can use mah fire bending.

[ReikaiDemon]

Will bending flourish or die off? That's the big question, looking into their future.
More or less, it'll sorta become less known by people, but they'll use it a hell of a lot in martial arts movies.

[Taurus Versant]

I'd go see them. :X3

[ReikaiDemon]

Omg, dead thread

[Koi]

So, anyone do any Firebending today?

[ReikaiDemon]

This guy has, for reals :iria

[Taurus Versant]

Not yet.

After exams, I'ma firebend all the useless books and notes into an Appa shape. It'll be my new desktop.

[Noah]

Wasn't it a solar eclipse? How the hell am I supposed to firebend with that?

[ReikaiDemon]

You can't, just kung fu around the house or something :sag

Well, the umbra only went through parts of Canada, Greenland, Russia, and Mongolia/China. All places that should be invaded at their most vulnerable, but now we've missed our chance.

[Mider T]

It's a shame, I flew over Greenland last week.

[Jove]

We can still honor Avatar before the eclipse day is over. If anyone has been planning something for the last few months, you can choose today to fail at it.

Durn, I guess we missed those DOBS reenactments battles there.

[Noah]

Well shit. There went our chance to get the Olympics to a proper location. :notrust

[ReikaiDemon]

Hey, we're not still at war with the Fire Nation :zaru
That was like 800 years ago, you racists :zaru
lol

[Mider T]

I miss Fire Lord Zuko:(

[ReikaiDemon]

I miss Fire Lord Zuko:(
At least we'll always have the mountain we carved in his likeness :iria
....
Oh wait, terrorists attacked that in 2004.....

[Noah]

....I want my Earth Kingdom reparations, dammit!

[Jove]

Hey guys, you ever think that, like, we CAN bend the elements in this world?! Everyday, man, we're, like, bending, but we just can't see it, man. We're not ready to see the truth, man. Seriously, guys.

[ReikaiDemon]

....I want my Earth Kingdom reparations, dammit!
lol, those were given 400 years ago.
Still, though, you still can't find anything about Airbenders in Firenation textbooks, unless if you count Aang

[Mider T]

Oh Aang got busy on restoring his clan ifyaknowutimean:LOS

Sure we can. I waterbend every morning right after I get up. :zaru

[ReikaiDemon]

What about the vid of the guy at the top of the page? :awesome
He's a firebender :gar

[Taurus Versant]

I bend things with my mind, but no one else admits they can see it.

They can't handle the truth. :sun

We know, there is no spoon ._.
First thing they taught us in Metalbending 101 .___.

There is no spoon, only a potentially awesome weapon of destruction. :edu

I still passed somehow though.

Top of my class at Airbending Slice :del

Not so much at Lightning :sweatdrop

I got an A+ with my lightning bolts :edu
Even though I cheated using a square of shag carpet..... ._.
I feel dirty....
But those finals were too damn hard =@ @=

[Taurus Versant]

Don't even get me started on the rainbow fire exam :C

[Jove]

Don't even get me started on the rainbow fire exam :C

Oh, I think you'd do quite fine at that one, Mr. Coolhorn Package Apologist.

[ReikaiDemon]

Don't even get me started on the rainbow fire exam :C
That was an AP class =@ @=
I only took kung fu with a bunch of styles, and sword classes with dao, jian, hookswords, and staff classes with guandaos, as my electives.

[Taurus Versant]

Jove, don't even try.

Coolhorn > all (minus quite a lot)

Seriously, how was that not awesome?

[ReikaiDemon]

So, liek, I'm taking Japanese and Chinese nunchaku classes next year <.< I hear you can combo nunchakus really well in bending.

[Taurus Versant]

Nunchakus?

Kinda a big step. You'd have to be careful to not wake you in the face.

You'd like you'd be in the presence of the hippies if it kept up.

[Noah]

Next semester is Soundbending Theory and Prof. Sokka's Etiquette lectures for me. Possibly advanced Tree Bending, but I might wait until spring for that. :awesome

I wouldn't worry about that :iria
I invented an ingenious shield technique from reading Gaara's powers :iria
I'll just bend a rock that orbits around my head to block it :nod

[Taurus Versant]

I wouldn't mind a try at Sandbending, but those Vulture Bees worry me, in case of a field trip.

[ReikaiDemon]

Next semester is Soundbending Theory and Prof. Sokka's Etiquette lectures for me. Possibly advanced Tree Bending, but I might wait until spring for that. :awesome
Did you hear that our professors said that wood bending may be possible in a few years? :iria They've already had a lot of success using mizong kung fu to bend the trees and decades old lumber. Even though all the wood did was twitch a few feet.
I wouldn't mind a try at Sandbending, but those Vulture Bees worry me, in case of a field trip. Must be nice to be rich like you :sweatdrop
I hear those field trips to the deserts cost like 12 taels of gold! :argh

[Taurus Versant]

I have a wealthy uncle. Quite the cabbage man he is. :zaru

[ReikaiDemon]

I have a wealthy uncle. Quite the cabbage man he is. :zaru
Surely not THE cabbage man?
You're related to the Cabbage Cart Empire?
Wow o_o
No wonder all your weapons were gilded with gold and stuff ~_~

[Taurus Versant]

A wealthy family is all well and good, but the one thing they couldn't buy me, was love. [/emoToph]

The fun part is dodging the rich kid stereotypes. Not easy, my friend.

It was pretty easy for that Bei Fong kid, I swear, it's like he DOESN'T know he's rich. He's a little dim too <.< He thinks the sharpening fairy flies into his window each night to hone his swords. That Jir Dao, the royal Bei Fong sword sharpener, is a hoot though, I didn't know being the royal sword sharpener had all those perks. He even has that new ChakraStation powered by three forms of bending, and he's got a bunch a games for it.

[Jove]

Study relentlessly, kids, and maybe you'll end up at Ba Sing Se University. I teach a class there on the Octopus Stance, The Spirit World, Ancient Civilizations, and Geopolitics.

if you're adept enough, you may be one of the few adroit young students selected for my controversial current project: the dehybridization of animals. And one lucky prodigy will assist me in the study of Conceptual bending, and my tireless work to engineer Fluffbending.

[Taurus Versant]

Ah fun times.

Welp, sword lesson calls. Gonna see if I can't work off this gild, it's too glaring to be practical.

[Mider T]

Professor Sokka was giving a lecture today.....you know I could've sworn those dozens of angry women storming around on campus were there for him:LOS

Hey, you must know my Grammy! :iria
She's a field expert of fluffbending.
I've always wondered what cats look like, I got a bunnycat, and always wondered what a pure bunny, and kitty look like.
I found some ancient pics of cats back then

Apparently, cats can speak some form of American English or cat latin.

I hear he's pitching for an experimental class in Awesomebending. :awesome

My cousin wants to go into studying bears. She's off staying in the Earth Kingdom University at the moment, where the Earth King and Bosco often go.

But Taur, I made this week's chapter digestable:

Bear? :iria Real bears!?
Do they really breath fire like people say?!
Can they really turn into human at will?!

[Taurus Versant]

I hear many fascinating stories about the thing called "bear".

What's controversial is the Sparrowkeets.

Aparrently that's a very high chance they can be separated into two birds. TWO!

I can see why the great pirate Captain Jack Sparrowkeet takes his name from them :iria

I hear sparrowkeets can bend your hair :argh

Hairbending little buggers.

I went on a vacation to see my cousin once. They line up on her windowsill at the morning, waiting for breakfast.

Imagine that! :quite

I'm pretty sure they're airing The Beach today. Is why I'm here and not in class.

Yeah, you failed your Chinese final too :zaru

[Nizuma Eiji]

Is it just me or was Prof. Wang Fire's final FUCKIN HARD?
How the fuck am i supposed to know how to bend the element of suprise?

It was pretty easy for me, but question 67 really burnt my brain out.

[Taurus Versant]

Don't even get me started on studying the hallucinatory properties of Cactus fruit.

Worst.Bender.Ever.

[Nizuma Eiji]

Question 67? That was easy man. But then again I had version B of the test, so your question might've been different. For mine i had to summarize Avatar Aang's final battle against Phoenix Lord Ozai. Thank god that Sozin's Comet: The Final Battle documentary came on two weeks ago, because i dont think the book could've explained it any better.

Ugh, don't get me started.

That went about as well as my Haiku.

I aced the poety final :iria
Though, I think the easiest ever final were in the weapon electives, because you can get like 100 extra points if you finish the main test, and properly fix a broken weapon. Good thing I knew sandbending, really got sharp edges on the junky swords.
Though, I heard that was just a ploy to get us to fix the weapons for next year's class....
And some of them were resold for three times the price....
Man, our school is cheap :sweatdrop

[masterriku]

It was chinese I thought it was sanskrit.......................................... ....






























oh crap.

Anyone get bugged by the Waterbending teacher? Those Bloodbending theory lectures, I dunno, he seems to enjoy giving them a little too much, know what I mean?

I dunno about you, but he looks a little too drooly when the freshmen walk past him....
