Sometimes I think about those high res Jupiter pics and then think about Van Gogh and get emotional because it’s like this one, lonely man that didn’t experience an ounce of fame or recognition in his life time had the image of the universe in his head and he didn’t know it.
imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow
Concept: Being a art teacher that tells their students to never forget their creativity. Then one day, when you are in a hurry for some reason, you run out of class only to come back seconds later shouting “I FORGOT MY CREATIVITY”. You then open your drawer and take out a rock with a paper attached that says “Creativity”. And then you say “Oh there I was lucky. I almost forgot my creativity. Make that a lesson students. Never forget your creativity.” Then you walk out of there with your creativity rock.
Some nights ago I jolted awake around 2 am. Then I wrote down “165” on my wall and then I went to sleep. I still don’t know why 165 was so important that I woke up in the middle of the night.
Ok so that other post really got me thinking and like…no wonder Aang is so freakin quick to offer advice. That isn’t just him trying to be a good friend that’s him carrying on Air Nomad culture. That’s him acting according to how his people have always acted. Only now it’s not appreciated. Only now his advice is akin to “pre-school teachings” and not worth listening to. No wonder he wanted to cry when Katara shouted at him about his “infinite wisdom getting old”. Like ok, obviously being yelled at fucking sucks. But I bet it was mostly because he was raised with the understanding that the monks teachings meant a great deal to the entire world. And now it doesn’t.
He woke up in a time when all those teachings meant nothing to anyone but him.

hate to repost but the bde that is sheerly radiating out of this picture is just too much
Friendly reminder that “rock paper scissors” exist in the Avatar universe
It’s made after the avatar cycle
Not which element actually beats each other in reality, cause that would depend on the bender. In the game it’s decided who wins after the order of the avatar cycle.
Water beats earth
Earth beats fire
Fire beats air
Air beats water
Who wins between water and fire? No one, they are opposite elements. They can’t beat each other.
Who wins between air and earth? No one, they are opposite elements. They can’t beat each other.
The hand gestures are either a move in the bending style or a representation of the element itself;
Water - A hand doing waves (suggestion) - no one really knows the hand gesture for water
Earth - Hand is clenched as a rock - as shown by Aang (pictured above) in the episode City of walls and secrets
Fire - Fingers are flames - as shown by Sokka (pictured above) in the episode City of walls and secrets
Air - A hand facing forward - as shown by two Airbender boys in a flashback (pictured above) in the episode The storm
That’s all the information we have about it at the moment.
(Decided to give the updated version it’s own post)
normalise singing, painting, dancing, playing the guitar, playing a sport or any other activity solely because you like doing it and it makes you happy, not minding about how good you are at it
i think it’s so neat that people are still discovering avatar for the first time and enjoying the series just as much as old-time fans like us who’ve been loving it since 2005. it really goes to show just how much of an impact this show has made on the world and even across different generations!
