Add Suki into that mix, Inu, and you've got yourself an unstoppable force. Sozin isn't alive, by the way. I would add Suki, but she's currently a prisoner if not a corpse ;_;. I'm totally serious though, I don't think we've seen the last of Smellerbee, Longshot or Song. The Gaang has room for all of them and a need for at least one of them.

Well as it speaks, maybe all 3 seems likely, the fact is, with Azula's tricks, the leader of the Dai Lee in season 2 killed Jet, and more then enough Azula found that out, so that means the Fire Nation had involvement in Jet's Death as well, thus hurting the Freedom Fighters, but I could be wrong maybe,
But now it all depends on The Duke to find where Smellerbee and longshot are at, because I know for sure it won't be that easy.

No...but Iroh has met them, perhaps there's a chance he'll recover them with the WLS and bring them to the Gaang when the WLS is ready to meet them.

Well it is too bad we will not see any of this take shape until another month when the season continues given Nick purposely delaying avatar as it seems knowing they have rabid fans here.

I just wish some of these artists come to DH and be in these threads, then again I feel that this pairing is one thing that needs to be active, only wishing later on we see the 2 again, and hope we get more praises, besides I have been keeping this thread alive as much as I can.

This thread SHALL live!
All three of the main Smellershot artists are semi-active in a Smellershot livejournal community... but even more so on the devArt. I've talked to Sio and Doodlebuggy though and their pretty nice and may consider joining if someone asked. ^^; Its too bad more people don't fall for the Freedom Fighters scene. These two are actually what sucked me in... it started as an "awe that'd be cute" to a "wow this fanart makes it cuter..." to a full blown "OMFG I LOVE SMELLERSHOT" and finally "OMFGGGG I LOVEE THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS!!11!!ONE!" Kinda scary, but I must say I love them.

I'm back, and ready to revive this wonderful thread thanks to the (small) amount of support the ship is getting.
I just read through DoodleBuggy's "Jet-Lagged" comic. To be honest, I thought it was a little too talky for the pairing. There's just this silence between Smellerbee and Longshot that really appeals to me. But how can you resist the ear-rubbing scene? ^_^
But back to Smellerbee and Longshot's silent bond...
It's unique on the show. To give some examples of the other ships:
Kataang is a ship of understanding, but it is also a physical ship. (No, I don't mean that in a perverted manner.) Kataang is, as I've nicknamed it, "the bending ship." The majority of Kataang moments have to do with bending with one another. (Clouds in 114 is a prime example.) What I believe to be the strongest moment of Kataang is the dance in 302. The majority of Kataang is physical.
So, with Smellershot/Longbee, there has not been all that much of a physical attraction, but more of a spiritual attraction. Perhaps that isn't really the right word to describe the ship, but there's definitely something there. I think that there's almost a brother/sister relationship between the two, as they're so close, but there's also a loyalty toward one another.
They spent their time in Ba Sing Se together, and there are very few moments in the series where they're apart. To be honest, I can't imagine either one with anyone else for a long period of time.
However, there's not a lot to go by in the series, seeing as the two did not appear all that often.
I still think Longbee/Smellershot is the most intriguing ship in the entire Avatar world, and I would not object to seeing more character interaction between the two.

I do agree with Jet-Lagged being a bit talky, but you can't completely disagree with how she writes the script with an ear massage. x3 It was completely uncalled for, and I love it. (that scene is actually up on my wall)
In my own personal theory, I've always believed the Freedom Fighters would reunite and avenge Jet in one way or another by the final battle. Obviously we know The Duke and Pipsqueak will be at the final battle. It is also likely within the Gaang, The Duke will address his life with the Freedom Fighters to which he will learn about Jet's death, etc... But it would seem fitting for those two to appear by the end. I'd also like to see some Sneers... xD He seems like he'd be a pretty cool character. But anyhow, I am guessing we'll see them by the end. Heck, I don't even care if they come to the final battle to die as long as I get some Smellershot proof. But I doubt that either those things will happen, as much as I'd love to see Smellershot. It just seems not enough people are interested in it for them to devote a scene to it... (even if after they did there was a massive outbreak of Longerbee shippers)
Smellershot is just the most adorible, awesome, and (my favorite attribute) nonperfect. They are just such opposites that they clash perfectly.
*sigh* Best. Ship. Ever!

I love your sig and icon. <3 Karma'd. Smellershot is just the most adorible, awesome, and (my favorite attribute) nonperfect. They are just such opposites that they clash perfectly. I was thinking the other day about this, and Longshot is Smellerbee's voice of reason. Smellerbee is Longshot's voice. I think it's a win-win situation for the two of them. I wouldn't mind seeing more character development. To be honest, I find them to be just as interesting as the major characters, if not more so. They seem extremely well-developed, and that actually leads me to think that they were probably meant to play a larger role in the storyline.

Thanks! :3 And do I spy you have a new Smellershot sig as well? xD *karmas* The Smellershot awareness shall be spread! Heh, I find the Freedom Fighters to be way more interesting than the majors. And honestly, I agree, they are a very developed group. Each has specific and realistic traits and flaws, the group even has its own style! Your right, they are too valuable and awesome to throw away. I highly doubt they added The Duke to the Gaang for no reason, hopefully he'll be the one to bring Smellerbee and Longshot to the finale. I'm afraid Sneers may have died... x.X or ran off somewhere. He also had great potential, too bad he didn't get one stinking line! Another thing to add to your reason is... why would they make Longshot finally speak with a new voice actor just to throw that guy away? Usually for minor characters the main voice actors will just manipulate their voice to work for a new person, but they went all out and for each Freedom Fighter found a permanent voice actor. I don't think they'd give Longshot's actor a single line and then throw him away.

Yes, you do spot a new Smellershot sig. ^_^ Thank you for the karma. I wouldn't mind an entire spinoff of the Freedom Fighters, to be honest. Interestingly enough, I'd want it to be post-Jet. I never really cared for Jet's character, to be honest. I thought that the other Freedom Fighters were far more interesting, and was actually quite sad to see that Jet got the most onscreen time. I actually have a few Smellerbee/Longshot questions I'd love answered before the end of the show. 1. Are Smellerbee's marks on her face tattoos or facepaint? 2. Where did Longshot learn to be an archer? 3. Exactly how old are Smellerbee and Longshot? (I want to say they're both around 13/14.) Now, I don't even remember a "Sneers"... Is this him? caps.airbender.net/img/w10/0224.jpg

Lol no. xD Thats hat-less The Duke. Sneers was extremely minor, he only was on screen 2 times and was in the background the rest of it. I didn't remember he existed until lately. This is him: dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/110/252.jpg (obviously the one next to Longshot) and dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/110/191.jpgSomething I'd really like to see is Smellerbee in combat, we've seen Longshot several times but never her. Heck, she could be a terrible fighter for all we know. Even better though, I'd like to see them fighting side by side. I'd always thought Longshot may have come from the Fire Nation, his clothes and skin color are definately different than the rest of the Freedom Fighters. So if he had his father could have been a Yu Yan Archer... we know his village was burnt down by the Fire Nation, but what if his family were refugees or the Fire Nation even burnt down their own town? I dunno, just a thought. ^^; And its okay, I share your passion for not liking Jet. XD It was pretty obvious his life would end quickly due to his character so I always found it a waste that they should give all the time to a dead-man-walking.

Ohhh. Haha, that makes sense. ^_^;; I really need to get to know the Freedom Fighters.
You're right, we never have seen Smellerbee in combat. If I could draw combat scenes, or any of the Avatar characters, I would definitely draw some fanart.
I never noticed that Longshot had that lighter skin colour. The only thing that leads me to think he's not a firebender is his nose. All firebenders tend to have more or less the same face, and Longshot's is extraordinarily different. Maybe he's part Fire Nation?
Dang, I want so much more character development with these two.
I didn't think Jet would die the first time I saw him, I figured he'd die after the second time. Of course, anyone that goes insane and decides to go genocidal usually dies within the course of the show...
