delayed gratification, oh noes!

[such_heights]

Because I lead a life of excitement and glamour, I have travelled back to Uni City today so I can go to a hospital appointment bright and early tomorrow. I have also been to pick up my prescription of All The Drugs (seriously, whenever I pick up more than a month's worth of stuff these days it starts to get ridiculous).

However, I have made a rookie mistake in planning ways for me to amuse myself whilst on trains/waiting for the friend I'm staying with to finish work. I watched the first part of the Avatar four-part finale this morning and converted the other three to watch on my iPhone (woo technology). But! I totally forget that the files I have have two audio tracks, one in Spanish and one in English. Obviously, I now just have the Spanish version, and it is not a language that I speak! Woe, doom, suspense! I would not have watched the first bit if I knew the cliffhanger was going to taunt me until I get home.

Anyway, I am now at a stage where I want to draw sparkly hearts around all the characters more than ever. Ilu Team Avatar! There are group hugs everywhere and it is basically about kickass girls and the slightly faily and adorkable boys who love them, which is a dynamic I am always a sucker for. Like, TOPH, omg, I can't even deal with how amazing she is in all her scheming, brave, slightly damaged, bratty, tomboyish, hilarious ways. See also: Katara, Azula, Mai, Ty Lee, Suki, etc. I am delighted by Aang and Sokka and Iroh, and I will admit that I have finally warmed up to Zuko really a lot.

Eeeeeeee, basically!

And much as I want to watch the last few episodes, I am sad that then there will be no more. Who's got fic and vids recs for me? *winning smile*

In the meantime, at least I have a book to comfort me - after watching the TV movie of Going Postal and enjoying it immensely, I remembered that I bought Making Money and haven't read it yet! This must be rectified.

AVATAR YAYS! :D :D \o/ I have a tag, although I think the recs people gave me are mostly on this LJ version.

[such_heights]

IT MAKES ME GLEEFACE TREMENDOUSLY. And yay, I will check things out!

[were_duck]

I SHARE YOUR UTTER GLEE!!! I am only in season two, however, so I haven't gone looking for fic yet for fear of spoilers. I have, however, seen a really fun Toph vid by thedeadparrot, Paper Planes! Also there is an Appa vid out there somewhere but I don't know where atm.

EEEE TOPH!

[such_heights]

Aww, that was delightful! TOPH TOPH TOPH.

[arch]

I LOOOOOVE THEM. ALL OF THEM. But especially Toph and Iroh!

[such_heights]

*flails giddily* EEEEE THEY'RE SO GREAT.

haha i just did the whole show in 4 days and am now also in the WANT MOAR NAO place

i have only viewed a handful of fics/arts so far but here are some of those i enjoyed:
http://community.livejournal.com/white_knuckle/38907.html = Handjob porn wherein Aang "tricks" Sokka into fapping Zuko off.
http://community.livejournal.com/avatar_kinkmeme/285.html?thread=185117#t185117 = "Katara has Azula bound, and starts using water tentacles to tease her. As it continues, she starts filling Azula with more and more water..." (non-con)
http://archiveofourown.org/works/39459 = "With Zuko as her prisoner, Azula will make do." (non-con)
lol first one i read: http://midnightrevelation.slashcity.net/atla/something.html = Zuko and Aang captured by Azula.
OMG TOTES HOTTEST I HAVE READ SO FAR!: http://community.livejournal.com/avatar_kinkmeme/285.html?thread=185629#t185629 = Set during The Southern Raiders, holyfuckingshit such fucking hot Katara/Zuko bloodbending bondage smut I don't even how can I this so fucking hot I think my brain exploded.
http://plus4chan.org/boards/a/res/56612.html = Gay Avatar plus4chan art thread ftw. Seems to be all m/m from what I can see, alas on that. But still win.
http://noselfcontrol.deviantart.com/art/Water-Tribe-001-69837313 = i am still in process of reading this comic but omg what beautiful art so far. no pairings in it so far

sry that is all i have so far just getting into it heehee

[such_heights]

Oh awesome, thanks so much! That first fic was all kinds of delightful, I look forward to perusing some of the rest.

[chagrined]

extra fyi i read thru chapter 3 of that comic i linked last there and while the art was all great and the story was interesting enough 4 me, the author/artist made a comment in their author notes near the end of ch.3 about slash fic that ticked me off so i stopped reading it then

[eleanorjane]

I am just doing an Avatar rewatch myself - halfway through Season 2 at the moment! The only fic I remember coming across recently is The One Where the Fire Nation Clearly Loses, which is S1 era Sokka/Zuko, and is hot and hilarious besides. :)

[such_heights]

Hurray, thank you!

[thefourthvine]

I am GREATLY DISMAYED by the fact that Appa was not mentioned ANYWHERE in this post, even though he is Clearly the Awesomest. (And I don't mean the awesomest Avatar character; I would seriously put him on a Top Ten Awesomest Characters of All Time list.) As proof, I will point you to a vid.

[such_heights]

That vid is AMAZING, well done you for getting cherry to make it! And yes, I have been terribly remiss above in my Appa appreciation! That is because his awesome goes without saying. *______*

[miss_haitch]

AVATAAAAR!

[such_heights]

EEEEEEEEEE!!!

[used_songs]

I have a friend who managed to reprogram her cable remote so that it kept redirecting her TV to Spanish language versions of the shows she was watching. She was starting to think she'd fallen into an alternate universe until she realized what she'd done.

[such_heights]

Hahaha, that would be all kinds of confusing!

[eruthros]

I share your Avatar love! So many <3s for this show.

I have had trouble finding fic, sadly! To the point where I read some mediocre long fic on ff.n that I still found satisfying because at least it was long and really into the characters and the world. (The best fic on ff.n that I read was unfinished, tho, sigh.) I also looked through basically all of the AO3 and the (surviving) kink meme. I've tagged some of the fic I found that's interesting at my delicious.

Vid-wise, I can offer cherryice's Tamacun (the vid thefourthvine recced above), two vids about Zuko (by dragonchic and by cherryice), and a vid about Toph (by thedeadparrot).

And just for fun, I found these when I was looking for recs: three vids to "One Girl Revolution." Two are the-women-from-ATLA, one is Toph-only. (All those links go to youtube.)

[such_heights]

Possibly my eyes will still be all heart-shaped at VVC next month. So much yay!

Ooh, thanks for all the links, I look forward to checking them out! :D

[azure-orbis.livejournal.com]

Hi, wandered here from one of your Merlin fics and found that you love Avatar too! Yay!

Well, there's an old lj comm that has a collection of recs and though the comm's pretty much dead, it got a lot of good recs w/ reactions and reasons why it was nominated and maybe you'd like to check them out. Click on the tag [tgaf-rt] for the masterlist of recs. http://community.livejournal.com/avatar_recfest/ Enjoy!
