i originally theorized gun was from the water tribe but in LOK there's a character from the earth kingdom who's name is gun so its more of a possibility of them descending from there

based off the name alone i don’t get fire nation or air nomad vibes and i’m leaning more towards gun being a male

He was certainly an interesting character in the Roku novels. So, I had to draw him in the show’s artstyle. I referenced the fire lord portraits from the art book.

Yasu was in the spirit world and would return in Roku's second novel. I haven't finished the novel but I already googled if Yasu was alive (just to see if I was right) but no he's still missing/dead. I really thought it was going to be a plot point in the novel.

Why are people so enthralled with the idea of the next book being about Kuruk? A lot of time was devoted to Kuruk’s story in both the Kyoshi books and the most recent Roku book. We know about as much about his story as Kyoshi’s, Yangchen’s, and Roku’s. I’d much rather see a Salai or Gun book. We don’t know much about them at all and it would be a fresh take.

Furthermore, a totally new avatar would give Ribay more room to write. I think the Roku books were bland partly because we’re all so familiar with Roku and the story didn’t have much room for creativity. Yee’s books were so much better but maybe if given a chance with a fresh cast of characters in this developed world Ribay can finally make something on Yee’s level.

Lightning generation was shocking (pun intended) to Jianzhu and fire nation officials. It is mentioned elderly people from the fire nation saw it which suggests it happened in Yangchen's time. However, Yangchen may have been unaware of this. It would make sense since Szeto helped the fire nation from collapsing, and lightning generation requires peace of mind. I believe lightning direction and redirection was during Szeto's time. Szeto visited Wan Shi Tong's library and might've gave the knowledge on lightning direction and generation. Szeto could have lightning redirection as it was mentioned he has one of the advanced fire bending technique. Szeto could have invented the technique himself because the library stated it was done by studying water benders, and Szeto is the Avatar so it would make sense for him to study water benders. Sozin when visiting the library, could have kept the lightning redirection part secret but learnt how to generate lightning himself and passed it onto his descendants. This would make sense as he wouldn't want anyone to counter Lightning. Iroh rediscovered lightning redirection by studying water benders. It's likely Szeto kept lightning generation secret so others won't learn it but gave the knowledge to the library.

Also is there any validity to this?

I haven’t watched ATLA in a minute but wasn’t this man showing up EVERYWHERE. And specifically always where Aang was. You’re saying this old man was getting around the whole Earth Kingdom just him and his cart of cabbages??? I don’t buy it.

And he somehow lived to/had kids that started Cabbage Corp in Korras era??? Nah, this man gotta be immortal.

Just finished the Kyoshi novels. The townsfolk who denied Yun any water once he got back from the Spirit World were gigantic pricks and really were probably one of the worst people he could have run into afterwards.

But what do you think would have happened to Yun if the people had given him the water he asked for? What decisions would he make?

I think he'd still kill Jianzhu, but I'm not so certain on Lu Beifong or Hei-Ran.

I know kyoshis novels have basically wrapped up but there’s so much more to tell imo, like even the novels we have I think they were very short and side characters should have been fleshed out more (rangi for example).

But seriously imagine a book about an older kyoshi that delves into her immortality/ Lao ge and later experiences and companions, if we ever get more kyoshi content I hope they age her up a lot.

Kyoshi bana göre yun'u severdi

In your opinion, which one would Kyoshi have loved more, or did she love them equally? I'm just asking out of curiosity. Tabikide merakımdan soruyorum

In this scenario, you are not Avatar Kyoshi so that you won't carry any personal baggage that might influence your decisions. Instead, you're the fire avatar who's next to Kyoshi in an alternate timeline where Kyoshi and the FOC lost to Yun. You trained extremely hard all your life to beat this powerful earthbender and discovered energybending and spirit healing along the way. You know everything about Yun's history through conversing with Kyoshi about it.

Episode 3: Spirit of All Nations (Written by: Emily Kim)

This title of the episode is the same one from Roku's first novel. This probably represents Roku's backstory in the Netflix show but do we think we could see Lambak island? Most viewers would probably be confused from it but that's the point of the story where Roku becomes a spirit of all nations.

In season 2, episode 2 of the Netflix live action series, after Zuko stops some Earth Kingdom troops from harassing a kid, the kid says:

Thanks. They've been getting worse lately. You come from the war? You're a real soldier. They're rejects. My brother's a real soldier too. He's stationed at Bin-Er. You been there?

Not the biggest reference but I thought it was neat! Pretty sure Bin-Er has only been mentioned in the Yangchen books up until this point.
