rionaleonhart | Aang's Pokémon, Of Course, Is Appa.

I watched Crustacés et Coquillages (Cockles and Muscles) yesterday, and ashdgjafkjhjgghh how much do I love Martin/Charley? It is not an excellent film, but I had to watch it the whole way through because I 'shipped it so freaking much. There is no fanfiction, and that makes me sad.

More Avatar! I am now up to 'City of Walls and Secrets'.

Regarding 'The Drill': I love Zuko and Iroh so much. I love that Iroh would risk exposing them as Firebenders just to heat his tea. And his happiness at having hot tea was adorable! I was most distressed when Zuko knocked the cup onto the ground. SOME THINGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN NOT REVEALING THAT YOU ARE PRACTITIONERS OF A DESPISED ART, ZUKO. LET YOUR UNCLE HAVE HIS TEA.

'City of Walls and Secrets': so freaking creepy. This is a level of creepy I most certainly would not expect from a cartoon aimed at children. Which is just another reason why Avatar is brilliant.

And, just to return to 'The Swamp' for a moment: when Zuko and Iroh are begging? And Iroh says, 'The coin is appreciated, but not as much as your smile'? Zuko begins to facepalm before Iroh has even finished speaking. He knows exactly what is coming. This delights me.

At the moment, my Pokémon-for-the-Avatar-characters theories (you knew I had them) are as follows: Zuko has a Flareon. Katara has a Vaporeon. Azula, just to follow the pattern, has a Jolteon.

Iroh has a Vulpix. He grooms her with loving care.

Toph has a Geodude. Can Geodude hover? They're sometimes portrayed as hovering. Well, this particular Geodude tries not to hover too much, because he knows that not being able to see him makes Toph uncomfortable.

Sokka may, perhaps, have a Cubone. I'm hesitant about this, because perhaps a Ground type is an illogical choice for a member of the Water Tribe, especially as water hurts Ground types, but Sokka isn't actually a bender, and, hey, Cubone knows Bonemerang. I think Sokka would approve.

SPEAKING OF APPA, THAT PART OF THE SERIES. SOB. ilu appa ;_;

YES. I miss him! Come back, Appa!

but Sokka isn't actually a bender

You keep saying things like this and I keep taking it completely the wrong way.

This is probably why the name was changed from Avatar: The Last Airbender in the UK.

Also I know nothing about these characters and don't care to learn, but from what you've said, wouldn't it make more sense for ummmm Toph to have something like a Diglett or Sandslash? Something that's prone to spending a lot of time in or under the earth.

That would make sense, but somehow Geodude feels most appropriate for her. I can definitely see her with a Diglett, though, now that you mention it.

Well you can have up to six with you at a time... (Sandslash always make me think of Gordon Ramsay. Can't imagine why.)

OH! I just realized! If you were to ship two of the sandbenders from the Desert episodes, you could call it Sandslash! *bricked*

don't care to learn

I disapprove of such statements about Avatar :P

RIONAAAA HOW ARE YOU ARE YOU STILL ILL SAZZ AND I ARE GOING INTO RP WITHDRAWAL I WILL EMAIL YOU THINGS.

WHERE ARE THESE THINGS YOU WERE PLANNING TO E-MAIL ME? I HAVE BEEN E-MAILED NO THINGS.

And I have officially been ill for a month now. HOORAY.

You're still ill?

*attempts telepathic healing waves across the internet*

*also attempts telepathic 'send Iroh with a cup of tea' waves*

I HAD A HEADACHE. I SHALL EMAIL THEM TO YOU NOW.

PS. STOP BEING ILL.

OH MAN BA SING SE. BA SING SE IS THE TOWN OF CREEPY.

And Zuko and his 'but tea is just a bunch of leaves!' and then Iroh DEFENDS THE TEA'S HONOUR. Iroh/tea forever. Iroh needs to meet James May so that they can be tea snobs together.

"Aang's Pokémon, Of Course, Is Appa."

But what about Momo?

The idea of shipping James/Iroh on the basis that they're both tea snobs makes me happy. (Yes, I know you said meet but I'm sure 'ship' is what you really meant.)

And then they can set up a teashop together.

I suspect that James would be disappointed by the lack of cars in Avatar's verse, though.

I expect he'll be making one himself pretty quickly. In a shed, of course.

A German shed.

Not a German shed! Never a German shed! It'll be a proper manly English shed.

Ah, but by James' own admissions, all of the best cars come out of German sheds. *expert nod*

But can you see James work in a German shed? No. He's going to prove that you can make a good car in a proper British shed.

You have a point. I concede to your logic. *concedes*

Iroh needs to meet James May so that they can be tea snobs together.

Oh, definitely. Iroh would be thrilled to meet someone who truly appreciated a good cup of tea.

Momo is Appa's Pokémon, just to be confusing.

JOO DEE. JOOOOOO DEEEEEEEEEE.

I love you for adding Pokemon to EVERYTHING. I want Iroh and Vulpis art now someone pleaaaaaaaase.

Sokka absolutely has a Cubone because it not only knows Bonemerang but also has a club to hit things over the head with. Somewhat more effectually than Sokka himself usually does. ~~At least until he gets Epic Upgrade!~~

I'm having trouble with Aang, though, I keep coming up with Dragonair for the inevitable flying dragon thing. ...wait can that one even fly? Damn you Pokemon for limiting flying to things with wings. Why would you do that?! There ought to be a flying bison pokemon. I would buy the new games for that.

I LOVE ZUKO AND HIS PRE-EMPTIVE FACEPALMING

also lol, of course azula would have a jolteon. crazy lightning lady she is and all.

AVATAR SUCKS AND YOUR TASTE IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD

Now convince me to change my mind!

I don't try to convert people who have already decided they don't like one of my fandoms. It doesn't work. I just look a bit sad and move on.

...but it's so charming!

(I'm sorry, Riona, but I've got James Blunt singing about triangles in the background and it's ruining my concentration. *snigger*)

Anyway! Cubone is the perfect Pokemon for Sokka. As is Vulpix for Iroh. I think Zuko needs something with anger issues, though, as does Azula. Perhaps their respective Pokemone also have anger issues? Geodude are indeed portayed as hovering, but I never saw Brock's hover, so I'm going by that, and saying that they can't. (Otherwise, ground-type moves like Earthquake wouldn't effect it, instead of effecting it just a little bit.)

:]

Sokka would definitely approve of Cubone.

Just keep him away from Jigglypuff, haha. ;D

And yes, Geodude does hover. I think she would be better off with Sandshrew, personally. Or maybe Sandslash - LOL, POKEMON NERD HERE.

Man, being stalked by a crazy Jigglypuff is just the sort of thing that would happen to Team Avatar. They really need to meet Team Ash.

Perhaps she has both Geodude and Sandshrew! Or perhaps she has a Graveler. Graveler has legs.
