The Most Underrated Line In All Of ATLA/TLOK And Its Many Worldbuilding Implications - A Ramble
In S2E7 of TLOK we get this dialogue from Wan and The Aye-Aye Spirit: “There are other Lion Turtles?” “Of course there are - dozens of them!” [timestamp 3:38 in this video]
It’s such a quick line it’s easy to miss, but there’s one thing about it that made a LOT of things click into place for me about the Avatar universe’s worldbuilding; the fact that there are (or were) dozens of Lion Turtles. NOT four, with one for each element, like you would assume. Dozens.
What does this mean in terms of the Four Nations? What connections might this have with other previously established lore? Well uhm follow me on this journey. I guess.

“The thing about science fiction is, it isn’t really about the future. It’s about the present. But the future gives us great freedom of imagination. It’s like a mirror. You can see the back of your own head.”

A few months ago my mom got our dog a really nice like $60 dog bed that Ellie just absolutely refuses to sleep in because she’d rather be in bed with my mom or on the couch. So my mom gave Josh and I the bed to see if Vincent would like it and it’s an immediate hit, he jumped in as soon as I put it down and won’t move
I’ve never seen this cat knead before and now he can’t stop!

Our baby boy, Jasper, was like this with all things fluffy. I remember thr first time we got him a bed like this, but a quarter of the size. He was kneading it with all four paws and purring loud enough I could hear him over the TV. We had to replace the fluffy bed at least once a year because he would knead all the fluffy out of it. If I wanted him to sit on me and cuddle? I wore my bathrobe because it was fluffy and he would go into a sort of trance.
Our other cat, Cacoa, prefers a piece of tissue paper on hardwood flooring.
I just did this, and Etsy doesn’t actually tell you anywhere on the site how to find your username (it’s randomly generated), which you need to opt out, so here’s how to do that:
