I feel like these little Zuko-family moments cause way too many emotions in me. Because no people but his family would probably see him like that. When Firelord Zuko himself turns back into an adorable awkward turtleduck he used to be…when he’s out of his Firelord duties and can be free and careless for a moment:3

also Zuko and ‘Honora’ probably the only people Mai smile sincerely to<3

and yes, Zuko is the best daddy.:3

The ABC's of Avatar: The Last Airbender 

This avatar side blog has been going strong for about 2 years now and somehow I reached 4,000+ followers a couple weeks ago! For me, this is a pretty big accomplishment so I wanted to do something different to celebrate. Instead of making icons, a follow forever, psd packs, etc, I decided to make this. A gif set that captures the essence of Avatar: The Last Airbender, a show we all fell in love with almost 10 years ago and still love to this day. Avatar was such a big part of my childhood and it feels like all I’ve done is blink and now I’m an adult starting college this fall! But ya know what? I’m ready to start my own grand adventure and who knows, maybe I’ll end up changing the world like my buddy Aang. (;

To all my lovely followers, this one’s for you! 

And special thanks to michaeldantedimartinobryankonietzko , and the rest of the avatar team for creating a masterpiece! You guys made my childhood and I’ll be forever thankful! ♥

Firebending moves are based mainly on the Northern Shaolin style of kung fu. Aspects of the firebending combat style can be seen through the similar emphasis on highly technical kicking strikes, fundamentally strong movements, and the usage of swift, direct maneuvers. Northern Shaolin is an external style that uses long, aggressive techniques that explode and drive through the opponent. This style emphasizes “kicking over hand fighting”, or prioritizing one’s legwork as opposed to the arms. A few techniques from Northern Seven Star Praying Mantis are also prominent. These feature quick, successive attacks that utilize momentary bursts of extreme power, much like an explosion, called ging lik. It optimizes a strong continuous offense, sacrificing defense for greater power, the principle behind a pre-emptive strike, and as such, firebending is categorized as the most aggressive of the four bending arts.
