So The ATLA-Spop AUs Have Been Going Around A Lot And I'm Loving It! But I Can't Really Contribute Much

So the ATLA-Spop AUs have been going around a lot and I'm loving it! But I can't really contribute much - cause I can't draw for shit haha. BUT I did take a few martial arts classes in uni so I'm doing the next best thing: giving everyone else who can draw reference posts for the bending styles.

OK ok, so the only styles I remembered were for firebending and waterbending, (tai chi and Northern Shaolin) so I had to skim over the ATLA wiki page to find our what styles were used for earth and air.

First of Waterbending (Tai Chi, aka the martial arts style that I was the most horrible at)

Tai chi requires A LOT of concentration and strength cause your movement is calm and precise, slow and steady. My coach took one look at me and booted my impatient ass off to a different style.

Earthbending (Hung Gar, with the exception of Toph who uses a different style)

I just realized that this photo is not as clear as I thought it would be. Anyway, Toph's style is the Southern Praying Mantis bc of course our girl stood out from everyone else.

Firebending (Northern Shaolin, I used Chang Quan as a reference for this)

Fun fact, I was a good fit for this style of martial arts, but because it required long arm and leg movements and I was too short, I got booted to Nan Quan. Here's another Northern Shaolin style image

Last but not least, Airbending (Ba Gua Zhang style)

I couldn't do this one either cause apparently it required grace, which I had none of.

Anyways, I hope you artist's out there find this useful! I want all of you to know that I love your works and pls keep them coming my soul needs them to thrive

Easy Kitchen Garden, Step by Step

Grow a kitchen garden to enjoy safe, flavorful and nutritious homegrown food.

By Roger Doiron

In its simplest form, a kitchen garden produces fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs for delicious, healthy meals. A kitchen garden doesn’t have to be right outside the kitchen door, but the closer it is, the better. Think about it this way: The easier it is for you to get into the garden, the more likely it is that you will get tasty things out of it. Did you forget to add the chopped dill on your boiled red-skinned potatoes? No problem — it’s just steps away. [Keep reading…]
