"Do you know what makes an Air Nomad? It's the ability to sit down quietly, wherever you are, be it dark room or empty field, and just . . . sit. To sit with yourself, without causing problems or hurting anyone else. That's it. That's all it is. The airbending pales in comparison."

-- Avatar Yangchen, The Dawn of Yangchen

Nobody:

White bearded dudes creating a logo:

Women in Bradley County Jail are being kept in horrible, unsanitary, and unsafe conditions. Literally signs for help in the window.

The best way to help is to bail them out!!

Please if you have a couple of dollars to spare we are doing our best to get as many women out. Women who can’t, will get money in their commissary for sanitary products.

Cultural Practices: Pai Sho - The Game

I'm honestly a little embarrassed it took me this long to get to this topic! As always, credit goes to @atla-lore-archive for saving all the neat ATLA tidbits and concept art from the old Nick website.

Pai Sho (牌數), meaning "several game pieces" in Chinese, takes inspiration from a few different table games:

Its most obvious influence is the German game Sternhalma, known in the English-speaking world as Chinese Checkers. Like Chinese Checkers, the game is played on a circular board.

The lines on the board and the circular tiles are reminiscent of Xiàng​qí (象棋), known in the English-speaking world as Chinese Chess. The pieces often being positioned on the intersection of lines is also very similar to Chinese Chess.

The game's four player limit and visually creative tiles are reminiscent of Mahjong (麻将), China's most famous tile game. In particular, the iconic white lotus tile appears to draw heavily from the classic Mahjong one-dot tile.

Finally, the name Pai Sho was likely inspired by Pai Gow (牌九), meaning "nine game pieces" in Cantonese--- which is both a domino game and a style of poker.

Just like ATLA's animals, it seems that Pai Sho is a fusion of different real life sources. In the next posts, I'll be covering the symbolism and cultural significance behind each Pai Sho tile shown in ATLA.

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^

Master Tenzin what holidays do the air nomads celebrate ?

"Typical Air Nomad fashion is to celebrate everything. We have over 200 recorded annual holidays, festivals, and ceremonies. But here are the main ones:

New Year's

Bonding Day (the day young monks and nuns are paired with their bison)

Guru Laghima's Day of Enlightenment (literally one of many guru's and their enlightenment, but his is the most popular)

Cleansing Day (We spend a week deep-cleaning the temples and it culminates in three days of spiritual cleansing ceremonies.)

Yangchen Festival (celebrating Yangchen's victory over the spirit General Old Iron)

Guru Adima's First Teaching (celebrating the first teaching of the first known Air Nomad guru, Guru Adima)

Autumn's Equinox

Master's Anointment Ceremony (once a year, all the new master Airbenders are anointed during this very auspicious occasion)

Descension Day (celebrating our ancestors' decent from their Lion Turtles)

The Avatar's Birthday

As you can imagine, with over 200 celebrations, not all Air Nomads celebrated all holidays every year. Rather, it depended on location and circumstance. You could be well into your 50s before experiencing all of them, but these ten were... are the most popular."

//The list was modeled after Important Tibetan Buddhist Holidays in 2023 and includes a mix of headcanon and canonical Air Nomad celebrations.
