I couldn’t quite help myself, so sue me (?)
okay please don’t, I can’t afford a lawsuitThe universe demanded that I made the connection between ATLA and the Olympics, but it brought me to it in a very unexpected way. I’m already used to Google’s knack for sending weird news to my phone, but I discovered it can still impress me when it sent me this particular article.
… Naturally I was utterly confused over why my phone would expect that to interest me, but out of morbid curiosity, I guess, I clicked it and had a good laugh over the whole thing. Soon enough I was thinking “It’s not like they’re my hornball OTP, no way every single athlete would possibly need so many…”
And that’s when I did a double take. My OTP… in the Olympics?!
And of course my brain blew up. The result of that mental explosion will be the 7-parter story that I’ll be publishing for the next challenge of the Sokkla Saturdays, a story I couldn’t be more excited about even if I tried. I guess I should have held back the cover for Saturday too xD but I couldn’t help myself. So you get it a few days early so that you know what to expect and, hopefully, get as hyped as I am!
As you can see, this is my take on the Avatar: the Last Airbender’s version of the Olympics, organized by the White Lotus. Hence, the black circle is for the White Lotus, the others speak for themselves xD each competitor has a headband that distinguishes whether they’re benders (white headband) or non-benders (black headband), and at the center of the headband they have different colors as to identify which nation they hail from. There’s teams for each nation, even for the Air Nomads despite Aang is the only actual representative of their team (but as he’s the Avatar he gets to participate in more events than anyone else, so don’t feel too sorry for him xD). Zuko doesn’t get to join in because he’s a Head of State, same as Hakoda, Arnook and Kuei. And as can be understood, I hope, Kuei is very much hellbent on the success of the Earth Kingdom in this major event xD
Also, Mai doesn’t like the Fire Nation’s uniform, especially the headband, so she refuses to wear it, period xD Everyone’s a bit older here, though I’m to sure if it’s apparent, but they are supposed to be.
Well, I hope you all like the fanart and that you enjoy the story in a couple of days, once I post it! And if you’re interested in them, enjoy the Olympics too xD
