I finally got off my lazy bum and reread the comics

although what I realized as I finished was that we only need a year's worth of update, which....basically happens in the first two pages of the first comic so now I regret everything I just read

but anyway

the only thing we'd have to incorporate from the comics is that zuko + earth king kuei + gaang started working together to form the harmony restoration movement AKA everyone in the fire nation earth kingdom

no worries! enjoy dinner! <3

--actually, rewording that last comment

all the fire nation peeps that were in the fire nation earth kingdom colonies got moved back to the fire nation

zuko's kind of doing planning from the fire nation, gaang's helping out with the actual moving, and toph's off running a metal bending school

and I belieeeeeeve kyoshi warriors are still on kyoshi island at the one year mark, though they do get called in later

for the sake of convenience, we could just pull everyone from the first three pages and ignore the almost-war and questionable characterization that happens over the course of the search

and I guess for comparison, if we wanted to pull from the end of The Search (which would be about a month's worth of time, I think?) it would entail:

Aang somehow promising to kill Zuko if he goes cray-cray (wtf), Zuko regressing and losing all his previous characterization, lots of oogies and 'sweeties' (ew), Toph teaching metalbending, the Earth Kingdom

and Fire Nation almost breaking out into a war (again), but then everyone working things out because this is Avatar

personally I'm still opting for option number 1, but I can roll either way.

and what this means for everyone (if we pull from the beginning) is that Aang + Sokka + Katara are helping out with the movement, Suki + Ty Lee are training on Kyoshi Island, and Toph's at her school teaching

I think that first one works well! And it means that I get to explore Kyoshi!Ty Lee a bit more ;;

Kyoshi!Ty Lee is adorable ;;

and if for some reason you want icons of her, I'd be happy to make you some

now that I've re-downloaded all the comics

....although. now that I think about it, if we pull from right at the beginning, it'd be better to do it before any major signs of tension arise, otherwise Aang's going to be super conflicted between

going back to Som vs staying world to mediate, and that's just a pain

BUT YEAH, comment/discuss/do whatever you want.

and I'm totally fine with writing up world info and posting it to the sticky post if no one else wants to 8|b

I am also okay with passing on my comic downloads if any of you want them for more details

....except it's gonna have to be tomorrow because haha what is staying awake past 10 pm. orz

If I see a single "sweetie," I will have all the OOC oogies. But no I like your idea, Val. Where's our Toph, tho?

I should PM her.

or add her on AIM

why am I so behind on all of this, I don't know

AND I AM GOING TO AVOID ALL THE SWEETIES if you see one accidentally slip out, please punch me

asdfasdf if you made me icons I would love you forever okay Val

Hey Elyse d'you think another war would get Sokka and Suki impulse-married? awkwardpotato
