I've recently finished TLOK & there for joined the fandom and... Did we even watch the same show???
(Very long & passionate rant under cut)
Like mf wdym Korra is the worst/weakest Avatar? It's physically not possible for her to be the weakest as the cycle goes on the Avatar spirt gets stronger so technically the weakest Avatar is Wan!! But I still want to point out the many reasons why Korra isn't the weakest or worst Avatar.
Firstly, I want to acknowledge vaid criticisms of Korra. Yes she constantly underestimated her opponents but in her defense she was severely inexperienced. She'd spent most of her life in that training facility in the south Pole and then once she got to republic city was almost immediately thrown into dealing with the equalits so she underestimated Amon due to lack of experience. She was then manipulated by her uncle so can you really blame her for not realizing he was evil till it was too late? THAT WAS HER FAMILY!!
Anyways, Korra has faults like every Avatar but she also has feats that you all seem to forget/over look!
My main example and my favorite to bring up in this argument is; Korra on harmonic convergence after having Raava RIPPED from her (need to emphasize the fact that Korra did not give Raava up willing like some of y'all like to think, she fought to keep Raava with her and was devastated when she lost her and the past lives. She didn't give it up willingly) meaning she didn't have the Avatar state and this fight was just her pure strength against UnaVaatu.
KORRA BEAT HIS ASS WITH NO BENDING, NO AVATAR STATE, NO PAST LIVES, NO NOTHING. KORRA FIST FOUGHT THE SPIRIT OF CHAOS AND DARKNESS AND WON!
But I have more examples of how strong she truly is (there is no order to them lol).
Korra broke out of Blood bending without the Avatar state (something Aang couldn't do).
She had control over 3/4 of the elements at like five, and the only reason it took so long to master Air bending (which still only took like a few months) was because she didn't get a teacher until she was 17!
Korra fought one of the strongest air benders WHILE DYING, like ppl forget she was slowly dying during that fight. She was weakened and still won.
Now let's talk about another one of my favorite feats of hers, REDIRECTING THE AVATAR UNIVERSE VERSION OF A FUCKING NUKE. Like it was so powerful it ripped open a whole in space & time, creating a new spirit portal and she redirected it and wasn't even fazed. Like I'm 90% sure she didn't even break a sweat!
She's the first Avatar to metal bend, ik it's likely because she's the first Avatar to exist when metal bending was more common but she was metal bending in like a week! That's not something anyone can do!!
Another reason I have is technically not about her strength but more about the strength of Korra's version of Raava. When Korra re-fused with Raava, the Raava spirit was bigger than it was when it was ripped from her and alot bigger than the version Wan fused with meaning Korra has a stronger version of Raava than previous Avatars making her inherently stronger than them. When Korra re-fused with Raava, she was big enough for Korra to ride on her but when Wan fused with her Raava fit in a tea pot.
Now time to defend Korra's loses!
・Korra lost against Amon because she was inexperienced, she'd spent most of her life away from the world and wasn't prepared to fight a master water bender.
・Korra lost Raava because it was supposed to happen. Ever Harmonic convergence Raava and Vaatu fight so it's likely that ever 10,000 year's the avatar cycle will restart, also did we not watch Korra be absolutely DEVASTATED that she lost her connect with the last Avatars? Like she spends most of the time during the 4th season wishing she could talk to Aang!
・Honestly I don't even know if Korra won or lost against Zaheer but I do know she was slowly dying during the fight. She was no where near her full strength! Also, the red lotus was actively surprised at how well Korra fought against going into the Avatar state just showing her control over it.
・Korra got her ass beat in that ring in the earth kingdom because she was rusty and GOING THROUGH IT! Like she hadn't fought in 3 year's and she was still working through her turama, it's the samething when she lost to old Toph, she was rusty, still being affected by the poison, and traumatized. There was on way she was going to win in that state
・ Korra lost in her 1v1 with Kuvira because she was rusty, she hadn't fought in 3 year's and you expect her to be as good as she was before her hiatus? Bitch please! Korra quite literally goes on to go toe to toe with Kuvira at the end of the season when she'd worked through her rust.
In conclusion, Korra isn't the wort or weakest Avatar your just over looking her feats and dumbing her down because you can't except your fav isn't as strong as you think. She was ment to restart the Avatar cycle, and she also isn't even in her prime! She's 17 in the first season, 18 in season 2 & 3, and 21 in the last season, Korra is still at the beginning of her career as an Avatar. She's only going to get stronger.
Also no, I'm not a Korra glazer. She's not even my favorite Avatar, it's Kiyoshi.
THE FORESHADOWING?? I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT UNTIL THIS POST 😭

Late Azutara Week post! Couples Counseling
william solaire they can never make me hate you
thinking bout how lonely teen darlin must've felt. they came into a pack that grew up together and already had deep established bonds and they were just.. there.
and if u imagine christian to be an asshole, imagine how much worse he'd have made them feel.
IT WASN'T UNTIL THEY WERE NEARING THEIR 30S OR SOME SHIT UNTIL THEY ACTUALLY FELT LIKE A PART OF THE PACK!!!! THEY FELL IN WITH A BAD CROWD TO FEEL LIKE THEY BELONGED!!!!
My acc is all over the place in terms of what I post rn but I don't really care so...
I personally enjoy Chaos' new look, sure their more human appearing but I don't mind (I'm attracted to both the glob and the pretty humanoid, and I'm not even ashamed)
But I do understand the criticisms of this new design, Chaos is the embodiment of the void and creation so them being just a bunch of ambiguous gunk makes sense.
But I have a theory that because their the embodiment of creation they change their form every once in a while.
I think the new from is the fetus that's in both designs. It's smaller in the new because that from is newer and younger. The fetus grows over time and once the old body dies Chaos' consciousness is transferred to the new body once it's old enough (new Chaos is holding was is likely og Chaos' skull) and then that new body grows a fetus and the cycle repeats.
Also the two designs are very obviously not the same body - ones a bunch of gunk one is not, og Chaos is darker and has a different face shape - but they share enough characteristics for it to be believable that their the same person - bat like wings, the eye motifs, bright colors, ect.
And, they are the only character that has gotten such a major redesign (most just adding armor to their design) so there's likely a lore reason for Chaos' new look that we don't know yet because it's still in EA.
Brachios..

HTTYD 2 inspired au: Zuko finds his Mother living amongst the sun warriors
She already met ran and shaw
I love this!
Zuko actually did run into Ursa when he and Aang went to the Sun Warrior ruins. She was in full Sun Warrior grab and mask and is just as mysterious as Hiccup's mom in the movie.
Ursa leads them through the ruins and traps until they meet the rest of the tribe and dragons. Zuko can't shake the feeling he knew the mysterious person from somewhere. Not until he returned during The Search and Ursa revealed herself to him now that the war was over.
why do I listen too vega?
cuz he’s HAUT!
