Nyo Ame Commission!

And the results are in!!

Alfred wins by a landslide like I knew he would MY KING🙏🙏🙏

something ive been curious abt

I finally made Yao's design

ngl i cooked with him, and i added him with a sword cuz he's a warrior

the exaggerated height differences is my trademark style fr, yao is so small compared to ivan omg😭 he's the size of ivan's leg, but he's strict toughness and raw power all in a tiny body

taang in the comics part 4

ladies and gentlemen, the ONLY good comic: Imbalance.

everyone is so in character i LOVE IT except Aang. But in the good way. I genuinely got whiplash when reading this cuz?? is that rlly Aang?? omg hes so good. THIS is what aang stans think show-Aang is but hes rlly not. I love Aang's personality here. Confident, calm Avatar, still with a silly side, doesn't get angry irrationally, still heard Toph out when she suggested taking away his bending even tho I just KNOW show/gly Aang would've gotten angry/preachy with her.

Also this is a good example of what I mean where Kataang would be so good if they were just handled well! I LOVE them in this comic. Theyre so good and sweet together, espcially when they visited that island. She was supportive, but not in a way that made it feel like Aang was throwing a tantrum and she was shouldering it—cuz thats honestly what it felt like in the show. No. Here, it genuinely feels like one person talking about their problems and the other being supportive of them. A natural, equal relationship. Also they didn't call each other sweetie. Not even once. I love that for them. They managed to be rlly sweet together as a couple without resorting to cringe cliche moments like in GLY's.

However, while I did think Kataang was cute here, im still a Taang truther LMAO every panel with them together i went 'thats him and his wife fr'. Look how good they are together omg, I love their canonical height difference. And Toph is so pretty here, especially in her pajamas. Imbalance is what I think Aang and Toph would be canonically had they been in a relationship in the show. He doesn't get angry here, he's stable and grounded and not preachy. He hears out her opinion even when he clearly doesn't agree (as he was stunned when she suggested taking away his bending) and didn't even refuse it. He didn't say no. He just said he'd think about it. Even to Katara, he didn't outright say that he disagreed with Toph, he js asked for her counsel. But ik damn well the Aang from the show would've gotten mad and preached his monk values to her like he did with Katara in TSR. I also like the way he always cares for her throughout the comic, asking for her opinion, asking where she is—even when he didn't take on her suggestion of taking away Liling's bending, he still asked her if she was okay with it (with him doing a different plan) which I thought was rlly sweet. Just not in-character for show-Aang. No, this Aang is way better fr. I personally think this is how he would be had he been with Toph instead. His emotions are more stable, he's more confident and realized, set on his beliefs but not to the point where it'd blind him to other people's opinions—such traits align with my hc of how Toph would've affected him. Grounding and stabilizing him through her tough but understanding nature.

Unfortunate, bc Imbalance is how good Kataang could've been. But no, imo they're more like GLY. Which is why I think their marriage wasn't all that good in the future. Imbalance Kataang would never neglect Bumi and Kya. You know who would, tho? GLY Kataang.

In North and South, she literally told Malina that Malina had a change of heart bc she fell in love with Katara's Dad and that she'd revert back once she fell out of love like?? Girl?? What kind of thinking is that? Is it not possible that Malina came to her own realizations about the southerners on her OWN?? cuz yk shes a human being with her own thoughts and feelings? She's implying that Malina's—and essentially women in general, bc the way Katara phrased it didnt seem like singling out Malina specifically—beliefs are that weak and easily swayed based on whether she's in love or not. Which is crazy to me? Its obvious Malina had her own genuine realizations about the southerners that impacted her deeply—yes, maybe Hakoda inspired her, but her beliefs aren't going to magically revert if she stops being with Hakoda. It lowkey says smth about her and Aang's relationship cuz wdym? are your beliefs rlly that reliant on ur man??

Oh kataang the potential you couldve had :((

[coughs up blood] I'm okay: Kiku, Yao, Arthur, Alfred, Matthew, Ludwig, Ivan

[sneezes] omg I'm dying: Lovino, Feliciano, Gilbert, Francis,Roderich

x

I imagine Francis and Arthur met in a forest filled with bluebells and that’s where “into the bluebell woods” came from😭

The Black Triangle Trio

also known as: Loud man child, big bear man, and stingy old mom friend who's back hurts from carrying the team

guys...i think i have a thing for fiery blonde x cold pale-hair...tdbk and rusame my greatest fixations...

adding onto this, can matthew cook too?? like if the brothers were to live together would matthew be the one to cook or would alfred? or they both can cook but one of them is clearly better than the other?

in my eyes alfred's still the better cook, cuz when i searched up canadian cuisine it did not look as appetizing as american food😭😭 and in general i see matthew as more,, disorganized? laid back, if u will. i mean alfred worked his way to the top of the world while matthew is chill where he is. plus alfred's been shown to not drink alcohol while matthew canonically smokes weed, the only thing that maple slurper cooks is crack

and i like the idea that alfred is usually such a carefree character but has to double down to take care of his twin. like, since arthur couldnt cook, alfred had to learn how to while growing up so they didnt starve while francis did all of the cooking for matthew so mattie didnt need to learn and now he needs someone else to do it for him

im curious if people in this fandom portray alfred as being able to cook or not?? cuz like i understand that he has strange tastebuds canonically, but that doesn't mean he's bad at cooking right?

on one hand it makes sense, but on the other hand i like it when alfred knows how to cook because of those farm movies where the characters talk about "good ol' southern cooking", and the disney princess literally known for her cooking is american (love u tiana)

I'm not saying he's great at it like france, cuz he's definitely a fan of deep frying the weirdest things, but he's definitely up there. i mean, i don't like usuk but one of them has to be able to cook right?? otherwise how do they live???

or maybe this isnt a matter of him being able to cook or not, its just that he doesn't want to?? cuz in every fic i read he never cooks, its always someone else who does (like matthew or ivan)

I’ve been very very VERY tempted to ship this. Don’t get me wrong, I love Nedcan and Prumano, but in my eyes Gilbert is a lot like Alfred and Matthew loves Alfred (as a brother) so I think they would go together well. But then multiple things push up like but then who would Lovino and Ned be with? Wouldn’t it be awkward if Francis’ best friend was dating his “son”? There’s not much evidence for them too, and I’d also have to go around rotating my ships so that Lovino and Ned have someone too because there is no way anyone is going to single in my AU, and the main reason why Matthew gets into fights with Alfred is because he’s too selfish, loud and arrogant, which is how Gilbert comes off to be so they would probably fight about that too, and Gilbert used to be Alfred's super strict teacher and Ivan's bully so how awkward would that even be? But then, the parallelism between RusAme and PruCan would be cute; A tall, introverted, winter guy who knits and a short, loud, arrogant and stupid guy. It’s both of them. I would ship, but it’d be too much of a hassle. I agree, it’s more of a “what if they were together?” ship.

If you don't mind me asking, why do people ship PruCan?

It’s the opposites attract dynamic that makes them really cute! Loud obnoxious asshole(I say this endearingly) and quiet easily overlooked shy dude. This is more of a “what if” ship than an “I totally see it!” ship.
