ADHD Culture Is Overusing ( ) And — And ; And … In Everything You Write Because You Have So Many

how to build your own bloodbending protégé

a simple three-step guide by hama of the southern water tribe

1. start 'em young

s3 katara is a baddie and already a master in her own right. she knows enough to get by WITHOUT having you as a teacher, which is why she was super cool w just Not Bloodbending and then throwing you in jail

s1 katara, on the other hand, took 2 months to learn to wiggle some water and was willing to risk it all stealing a waterbending study guide from literal pirates. homegirl is desperate to learn and is a lot less likely to pass you up when she's been entirely self-taught up to this point and has no other options

2. decelerate the curriculum

don't go from soup-bending to blood in like two days. yes, the full moon is only once a month. still, it is ENTIRELY possible to hold out on making muppets out of men for another four weeks. establishing a good, trustworthy rapport is more important. your student has gotta believe in you as a teacher 100% for you to go all in

3. for the love of La, DON't start with people

self-explanatory. even yakone, one of the baddest bloodbenders out there, started his crazy talented spawn on the local wildlife. people eat animals and it's a delicacy, people eating people is cannibalism and also illegal. bloodbending animals is similarly more digestible

me writing: wow this is amazing, awesome epic poggers god tier level stuff

me revising: ew jesus who put vomit all over this doc i am positively disgusted

Chapters: 14/49 Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
 In which Kya’s sacrifice—dying in place of the last Southern Bender—drives the North to rejoin the conflict consuming the world, and the Avatar is discovered by the wrong pair of wayward siblings.
An AU where getting out of the Fire Nation Palace a handful of years early works wonders on the mental health of certain individuals. Basically a series rewrite where the Water Tribe’s a lot more active and a little more antagonistic, if that’s your cup of tea. Sokka prefers the Ginseng, himself.
