I Wonder If Tony, America’s Alien Best Friend, Likes Russia Too ‘cause He’s A Firm Believer In

Am I the only one who thinks it’s kinda sad and kinda weird that SuFin and FrUk are raising the others’ kids?

Like, it’s kinda implied that the NA Bros are Finland’s sons and you can speculate that they are also Sweden’s. They both have Finland’s face, Finland told America to think of him as a father, Sweden and Finland were trying to raise America but couldn’t. America has Sweden’s eyes and Finland’s cheerfulness while Canada has Finland’s eyes and Sweden’s quiet nature. But then they were raised by England and France.

Meanwhile, Sealand was built by both British and French forces. He has England’s face, France’s eyes, and a combination of their brows. But was adopted by Sweden.

It’s just kinda sad guys

Hello! It's always great to meet another Taang shipper!

What do you love most about Taang?

I hope you have a great day!!!

Hey!!

Oh, it's so nice to see that Taang is still loved by so many people (and it's always really nice to see active blogs about them ^^)

What do I love most about Taang?

I love their dynamics. They bounce off each other almost harmoniously, because they are opposites in so many aspects of their lives: beliefs and morals, elements, backgrounds and childhoods. They clash and struggle and are far from perfect, yet, no matter how big the storm, how complex the disagreement - they always reconcile, they always listen to one another, they always learn and grow and strive to become better people. They respect one another so much to work around their oppositions and thus balance and understand one another in ways that no other member of the ATLA cast can replicate (with Aang and Toph).

And though they are natural opposites, they still have so much in common if you delve deeper. Aang and Toph are the youngest in the Gaang - and share the same love for teasing and joking; they share a very deep connection with the the original benders of their respective elements (Toph with the Badgermoles and Aang with Appa); they both runaway from their homes at a young age because of paramount expectations; both are masters of their bending - even inventing a new form/bending style at 12 years-old (air scooter and metalbending).

Aang represented all Toph needed in her life - freedom, loyalty, companionship and a friend. He saw her beyond her perceived weakness and never underestimated her capabilities as an earthbender and his potential master. He taught her to trust and confide, understood her when no other person did and soften the hard edges that she'd constructed to protect herself from her suffocating reality. In a sense, Aang was a breath of fresh air in her life.

Toph, on the other hand, represented all Aang needed - stability, confidence, strength. Aang, being the Avatar, had been coddled and protected by almost everyone - Katara, Sokka, admirers, etc. He wasn't Aang, he was a symbol - a symbol of hope and peace. But Toph didn't care about his divine-like power, didn't care that everyone around him praised the very ground he stepped on - in Toph's perspective, Aang was Aang. A kid just like her and she treated him as equals; never afraid of pushing him to further his growth; she taught him to stand his ground, face his enemies head on, become a stronger, confident bender. She was the ground that anchored him to the mortal world and made him feel normal.

It's also poetic, in the finale - Toph is in the air whilst Aang is mostly on Earth. And, may I add, that at the end, whilst Zuko and Katara ultimately did teach him plenty so he could face the Firelord, Aang's preferred bending style, that was not his own, was Earthbending. The element that had once stumped him, frustrated him; the hardest element to master, his opposite... and now, he used it to protect himself, to shield and fight. He used every technique Toph taught him - rock armor, crushing earth, even seismic sense... Toph ultimately saved Aang during the Finale.

I can go on and on about them, but I'm in the midst of writing a dissertation on Toph and Aang's development and potential in ATLA - so I'll save most of my thoughts for that whenever I get to completing it.

And... let's be honest. Aang and Toph together just look so beautiful. They would be the IT COUPLE in ATLA - their canonical height difference should be reason enough to stan Taang. Avatar and The World's Greatest Earthbender... come on now! And it would just fit right - Aang as an adult would have to travel the world and Toph would gladly travel alongside him since she doesn't have a "home" (Aang is her home); and, as adults they could built Republic City from the ground up whilst also balancing raising a family... UGH! IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD!!!

The four went out for a day. There was a photo booth and Stark and Alex went in. These are the resulting pictures. eue

How I view the panel: As the parents fight, their son and his boyfriend watch from the background and are very disturbed.

remember i do these sometimes?

so basically i have this gay-ass seaside town au and one day i might write it but for now i will just explain it:

switzerland owns an antiques shop and lives in the house above it with his partner austria, a violinist in an orchestra. switzerland's little sister, liechtenstein comes to stay with them.

canada is an online food influencer. he had made a career out of doing food blogging, and has published books with the help of his bf, the netherlands.

england lives in a lighthouse on a cliff with france. england always tells people that there is nothing between them, and has been doing so for the past 20 years, despite the fact that they've raised two kids together.

sweden and finland chaotic household with two kids, sealand and ladonia, and a dog. your typical super-parents and their feral children. the dog is the most responsible family member.

baby-sitter america with a love for space travel starts taking the kids he takes care of too an astronomy club that russia helps run.

yeah that's all the ideas i got so far lmao here's a map, it ain't done yet tho. any similarities to hythe in kent are 😳 pure coincidence 😳

these in particular are my favorite panels. shows their relationship so good; healthy too. First pic is literally what i imagine their dynamic as a canon couple. he always asks for her opinion in this comic and i love it. so refreshing from the Rift where they were both assholes to each other. Even when he disagreed with taking away Liling's bending, he didnt outright refuse her or say no. He said he'd think about it. Also refreshing from the show, where Aang was so set in his beliefs that he didnt consider solutions that differed from his values.

Mitsuri may be the love hashira, but Himejima Gyomei is the ultimate shipper and matchmaker and you can’t convince me otherwise. Like looking at his impressions of the other hashira, you have:

Giyuu and Shinobu “they enjoy talking to each other”

Kanroji and Iguro “they like each other”

And

And Sanemi “he likes Kanae”

:(((

Like this man is blind but he’s soo perceptive and intelligent he knows what’s going on with all of them.
