Timebomb Anniversary

Sobs, anyways, work I finished for a convention a bit ago!!

I've always liked the idea of Kya II being able to see spirits, like Jinora (and Iroh in the og show) did. Maybe not as clearly as Jinora, or she didn't have as special bond with them, but it just feels so very convenient that she somehow deduced that Jinora can see spirits simply by seeing a child chase something invisible. Like talk about a lucky guess.

Tenzin: You have to trust me. I can help you. Kya: There might be another way. Jinora, is there something you want to tell Korra?

Now, I imagine there are two paths this headcanon could follow.

One is rather sad, where Kya manifests the gift, but never tells Aang because he's too focused on training Tenzin. And so Kya doesn't really do much with her spirituality.

But the other, and more cheerful (and the one i find more plausible) is that Kya did tell Aang about her ability and he tried to to train her in the traditional way airbenders were, however it didn't work, as Kya herself has admitted that she struggled with memorising the theoretical and historical aspect of it.

Obligatory "yeah i bet you couldn't keep them straight you beautiful sapphic" joke

Which is why Kya didn't consider herself a viable spirit guide for Korra in B2. Tgough she clearly did internalise some of Aang's teachings, like mediatation and a nomadic lifestyle. Perhaps her journeys led her to more spiritual places, who knows. I also think that, while focused mostly on the physical and chi, healing through waterbending appears to be a decently spiritual discipline, which may be why Kya excelled in it.

Big fan of her signature move, the "scan em like a big xerox machine"

Also, piggybacking off this, I always thought that the reason Kya ans Bumi succumbed to the Fog of Lost souls quicker than Tenzin was bacause they're both more spiritually attuned than him. Sort of an open door policy on spiritual influence, good and bad.

in the aftermath

so i just finished the duology……. GAHD THESE TWOOO PLS idk what to feel can somebody plss clear this out for me

Zaun's royalty

Ekko: WHOEVER CAUSED THIS MESS IS GOING TO-

Jinx: It was me..

Ekko: ...is going to be forgiven because everyone deserves a second chance.

Sweaty refs!!!! for all your anxiety inducing needs. hehe Laurie - Rochelle - Papercraft

the MV was so sad but it soothed my soul. Like, now I UNDERSTAND how Jinx feels about Ekko, I'm not speculating anymore. He's her peace. She is scared to let herself love him how she wants, but he will be patient, he will wait for her and that's what she needs. And he won't let himself or her die because of that love, and he has proved that, and that makes Jinx feel safer.

Their eyes kissed first ✨️

JINX ENTERING HER SINGLE MOTHER ERA, LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO
