There Are Scortch Marks Where The Kids Used To Be

A little while ago I challenged myself to build a village using only one type of wood for each house.

Its been really fun experimenting with different styles and pallets and I've been getting to use blocks I wouldn't normally

This is the oak house.

Hello! Welcome to Water Sibling Week!

A week dedicated to the best siblings this side of the south pole.

We noticed that, while we get a lot of content about Sokka or Katara individually, we as a fandom don’t see them together in fanworks nearly enough. So we wanted to dedicate a week just to our favorite family dynamic.

From the 21st to the 27th of September, we’re going to be boosting stories and fanart featuring Sokka and Karara and their relationship with their family.

If you would like to submit an idea for a prompt, our ask box is currently open and anonymous asks are accepted. We’ll be accepting suggestions until the 2nd of August, at which point we’re going to release a Google form for you to vote on your favourites! We’re looking for six prompts, one for each day. The seventh will be a prompt free day, where you can do whatever you want. In case you’d prefer to work from a prompt, we’ll also be posting any other suggested prompts for you to choose from.

If you want more information, you can visit our FAQ (mobile link), or our Calendar (mobile link). If you’re thinking about participating, awesome! But please read the Rules (mobile link) first.

Thank you so much for joining us! We can’t wait to see your works!

If I had a nickel everytime the anarchist Technoblade helped a dictator blow up a country because they weren't in control anymore I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice

Here's some Chat Noir! I honestly think he turned out the best, him and Alya are the only ones who's hands I'm confident with.

I toyed with the idea of making Adrien The Avatar, but I decided against it, making him the prince of the Northern Water Tribe instead.

Chat Noir to Adrien is a way to escape the pressures of his daily life and to practice some form of bending other than the (I don't know the word but they're essentially party tricks) forms that his father only lets him learn.

Adrien is in Ba Sing Se with Gabriel, Nathalie and The Gorilla for some diplomatic reason or other - it's not important. What is important is how he had accidentally joined Alya's small band of thieves as Chat Noir, on his first outing in the city.

From one of Alya's thieves he learns Actual Waterbending. I don't know who yet.

Me when I when Life when I me when- yes.

Every time I see someone try to lean into the softness of the crimeboys ending it just makes it feel more cruel.

I see something like This

And it makes me think about how c!Wilbur leaving wasn't some quiet inevitablity or a sudden tragedy that nobody could have stopped, it was a choice.

Wilbur wasn't taken, not by tragedy and not by a person, he left. He left Knowing that the people he cared about weren't safe and weren't okay. And then he tried to present That as softness. Not just to us the audience, to the narrative, but to tommy.

And that's what needles me about people trying to present it this way, about it being presented as necessary and soft and healing.

Because wilbur's allowed to prioritize himself. he's allowed to say that he doesn't want to stay, that he doesn't want to be there to protect tommy or tubbo or fundy or anyone else, but he can't have his cake and eat it too. He doesn't get to make the choice to leave them at the mercy of an abuser and serial killer and expect them to be there when He's ready to have a relationship with them. He doesn't get to avoid being honest, to avoid talking about it at all, until he's skipping town to a new country and expect the trust to be there when He wants it.

Wilbur is under no obligation to stay, but tommy is under no obligation to forgive him. Wilbur is under no obligation to protect tommy from a monster, but choosing to abandon tommy with his serial killer abuser on the loose utilizing the power of a god Should erode whatever foundation that relationship had left.

It's not Fair to expect tommy to forgive him, that it's taken for granted that his trust doesn't have to be earned or nurtured. It's not fair that he's been abandoned and left behind and hurt time and time and time again and yet he always forgives, perpetually waiting for the chance to Earn being loved and being left behind anyways.

Letting his anger and sadness at wilbur go because there's nothing he can ever do to have his feelings respected wouldn't be Healthy. It's not the soft ending where everything's allowed to be okay. It'd be a link in a long pattern of unhealthy behavior.

Phil didn't have to apologize, in fact he told tommy to his face that he earned the trauma he gave him by being selfish and tommy not only Let him, but he tried to follow Phil's advice to Fix himself. Because he Needs somebody, Anybody to be there.

He refused to let tubbo apologize after exile because he saw Himself as a bad person, because he Believed that he wasn't worth saving. He held himself responsible for betraying techno before doomsday even started, despite techno being the one who lied to Him. Even if he'd been angry, even if he'd recognized that techno hurt him at first, he quietly let that anger go because techno was Never going to acknowledge that.

He's full of abandonment issues a mile deep and desperately Desperately wants to hold on to the people he cares about, but time and time again he's nobody's priority. Nobody will choose him no matter how desperately he needs it.

This will not teach him to not have abandonment or attachment issues, this will not make the genuine threat of being kidnapped and tortured for eternity go away.

The only thing worse than Wilbur knowingly choosing to leave him when he's in This vulnerable of a position, without even talking it through with him, is the idea that Tommy's not even allowed to be angry about it. That even if he Is angry now he just doesn't have the Perspective to know that it's a good thing yet and he'll Learn eventually.

Just like he Learned that he was selfish all along for wanting to protect his home and friends. Just like he Learned that he was an annoying child that just needed to be fixed.

Nobody has to put in the Work to earn Tommy's love and trust, he just has to realize that he never had the right to be upset in the first place.

The reason Techno wears a crown is because as a kid Wilbur would always tell him to lift his chin up because his crown was falling when he was upset at school but Techno didn't quite understand metaphors yet (piglins don't have them) so Wilbur got him a real crown for his birthday
