^I was just about to post that myself, I'm surprised that the artist herself didn't post it herself.

[taiyo *on limited hiatus*]

^She's not really into posting her own stuff. ^_^ I remember cuz I asked her once if I could post her work here or if she would rather do it and she told me then she didn't mind if I did it cuz she doesn't post her own work.

I can honestly stare at/daydream about the pic all day. <3...No wait...I am...

That's a really cute pic. I haven't seen it before. D:

Moments like that should be drawn more often.

Hey guys! I don't mean to interrupt this conversation about xcgirl08's new art piece. Which I totally love by the way. It is so fluffy. ;P But anyway, I came baring two screenshots from The Earth King which is incredibly crazy, but amazingly true! (Found at ASN. )




*laughs* Now, tell me my fellow Taangers. Why does Toph have ARROWS on both her hands?!

[Maylene]

^ Whoa... O__O Did not notice that before.

[firefly101]

its..real! I don't freaking believe it, but it's real! 0_0

Interesting animation error.

Someone must have colored in the arrows by mistake, only the heads are colored in, before realising they got them on the wrong character.

And instead of scrapping the cell, they figured it's a small error and the scene's moving pretty fast, no one would catch it. But apparently someone did.

Karma for finding it.

::jawdrop:: I'm with Marvel, karma for you Endless! I'm too shocked to say anything else. XD

[luthien]

That is all kinds of awesome! What a find!

[kaibasgirl]

karma for you endless! =D

hahahaha! we've got a Taanger amongst the artists! woohoo!!!

I have no idea why I thought of this...

I wanted a nice simple scene of Toph, Aang and a baby Rabbi-roo and I got this...
-----------------------------------------------------

The Avatar comes.

Ha, what fools these mortals be.

Let me tell you a story. Just to kill time before the end.

Worry not, it's not a long one. Then again I am eternal, I might not be the best judge of time.

It's a tale about destiny...and the lengths one man would go to to defy it.

A tale of a choice made, a love lost and a war ignited.

In hindsight it was not the best course of action.

The punishment of the Avatar.

The taking of a earthbender's soul.

Pale jade eyes...that's what I remember. That's what haunts me.

Torments me.

Sad, pleading, disappointed.

The eyes never leave my mind.

Eyes that sparked a war...a secret war...one of such magnitude, it made the Fire Nation's Hundred Year Siege on the world insignificant in scope.

It was destiny, they told him.

It was preordained, they revealed.

His duty was not to her but to the world, they said.

Like any child, he refused to accept that. Who were they to dictate the manner in which the world turned?

The war with those who commanded the flames was soon abandoned. The aggressors celebrated while the defeated mourned.

Until the first spirit was destroyed.

The boy had turned his war upon the Spirits. He who was to bring about Order was now the emmisary of Chaos.

A soul corrupted and twisted by pain, loss and hate.

Death had come to the Spirit World.

And the mortals knew not what was a foot till the clouds began to burn and daggers of ice rained down upon a dead wind swept earth.

Order is never permanent. It will always be disrupted.

Chaos is a constant.

Death a finality.

Without the Spirits to hold the world in order, it was a very possible indeed.

The Avatar approaches.

With...friends, in fact.

I have...had friends.

The Blue Spirit.

The Painted Lady.

All gone.

I am intrigued, how is it that the Avatar is able to master all four elements when the Spirits that govern them are destroyed?

As the Avatar demands my surrender with such courage and determination. Never once showing an ounce of fear or any other emotion in my presence.

I am reminded of a young mortal girl, whose hair was as dark as the night sky, whose blind eyes saw more than any other, whose heart continues to beat on, whose soul continues to endure.

In me.

The Avatar repeats the ultimatum.

Foolish Water Tribe girl.

I was the Avatar once.

My name was Aang.

I am now the Soul Collector.

And I'm going to start the killing.

Pale jade eyes...that's what I remember. That's what haunts me.

Torments me.

Sad, pleading, disappointed.

The eyes never leave my mind.

Ever.

----------------------------------------------------------------

If you're confused, Aang went nuclear when Koh took Toph's face.

The Blue Spirit and Painted lady he's talking about are Zuko and Katara, not the real spirits...he already killed those.

Technically, that's not stealing.

You paid me in Karma units.

But aren't you busy with the Sokkla thing?

I guess this counts as a Taang topic....

Who do you think would shatter Aang's dreams of being with Katara or to put it better, who would tell Aang to get his head out of the clouds? Make him realise that there are bigger things at work.

My money's on Zuko. Not because of Zutara, but from a militaristic point of view, that Aang is the Avatar and now is not the time for daydreams and fantasies.

How is this Taang?

Well, Baldy's not daydreaming about Katara. That's a start.

[taiyo *on limited hiatus*]

Zuko does seem the type to do that, huh? That's a good reason for Toph and Zuko to be good buddies

Gotta give ya karma Marvel. ::karma:: I thought you were talking about Koh at first. Gotta love angsty stories. <33

Now I gotta go to bed. XD Night. <3
