Hey guys, I just finished episode 6 and wanted to share some thoughts I had! I'm less discussing the episode itself (even though I'm super interested and excited to see where this goes, holy shit), and more appreciating details about Pavi and her disability.

I am a below the knee amputee just like Pavi is, and I can't tell you how much this portrayal of lower limb amputees means to me and is appreciated.🦿

(Pic of my leg for proof lol.)

When a leg/socket doesn't fit right and it's agonizing to put weight on it. When the phantom pains strike and it's so debilitating. Being told not to hop on your sound leg. When you refuse help from friends and family who genuinely care and just want to help you, but you don't want to feel dependent, incapable, or "disabled." When you finally get a well-fitting leg that has bounce to it, you just want to jump around and use it, cause it feels so freeing.

Every little bit they portrayed with Pavi here in this episode is so spot on and so relatable for me personally. Even to her living alone and doing everything herself, it hits deep cause I also live alone and do everything myself. I feel her so much. It might be silly, but I felt so seen watching this. It honestly made me kind of emotional.🥺

I know Avatar is no stranger to disability portrayal with Toph, Ming Hua, and Zuko if you count him. But Pavi's portrayal is much more grounded and realistic, I love it so much. We don't even know much about her, but Pavi might be my favorite Avatar so far, which is crazy to say cause I love Aang soo much. But Pavi is just so cute, and she's the most relatable Avatar for me. I can't wait to see how she'll grow throughout this series!🌱

Confirmed, Pavi is a fan of KorraSami.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on vis-a-vis the reincarnation cycle. But this has to be intentional, right?

i do like how it went into PAVIS amputated leg and her wooden prosthetic she uses which was nice for a kids show. but they got the terminology and cause WRONG! PAVI feel lots of pain when she jumps up and lands on her leg stump while training, and nisha says pavi has been crying every night cause of it. SO pavi goes to see a doctor and the doctor says she is experiencing phantom limb pain? but if its pain from jumping and stuff on the peg leg thats not phantom limb pain, thats socket abrasion and RESIDUAL LIMB PAIN from no shock absorption in the prosthetic and bruising and pressure constantly. thats why her taking the prosthetic off and using a crutch stops the pain. because it's from a shitty socket and constant training and landing on it, grinding her stump onto the socket point.

she's also in a post apocalypse world and grew up on her own with no medical tools or aid, so this really should have been an issue way earlier realistically though.

Watching Seven Havens is kind of magical as someone who grew up with ATLA. LoK is great and works well as a sequel but there’s some quintessential “quality” of the original series that Korra doesn’t exactly have. It doesn’t feel like watching more ATLA, which isn’t a slight on the show, but is noticeable while watching.

Seven Havens immediately feels like ATLA. The characters, setting, and plot feel like they are a natural extension of the first show where Korra felt radical and different. Seven Havens has such good intrigue and characters and I always come out of episodes so excited to see where the show ends up. It feels like watching season 1 of ATLA again, which is such a hard feeling to evoke in a show.

If she becomes fully realised avatar of course.

Every Team Avatar we’ve seen has a pair of siblings first to accompany the Avatar.

But this time, the siblings in Team Avatar are the Avatar.

So far we've got a really sweet, character focused story with a few mysteries and action scenes thrown in. Lore and world building are taking a back seat. Episode 6 is about Pavi and independence AND NOT about the big fear monster.

You could have taken that out and have the whole episode about them doing chores and the point would have been just as strong.

I really hope this goes on. I'd prefer it to be a proper episodic show like the original, but that's not how streaming is done anymore.

More please.

Once by myself, and other times with friends.

The rewatchability of this series is really good and you catch stuff you missed on your first watchthrough. Highly suggest to rewatch the episodes if you haven't.

I wanted to share with you my Katara! I love these pics so much, it was an incredible team effort and the effects are all practical 🌊💙

I made this Amon mask for my brother!! All the ones that you can buy are very expensive, so I decided to make one for him instead! Near the beginning of October our mother got us some hoodies (from Walmart I think) that look like Amon's outfit, so my brother decided to go as him for Halloween!!

And even though it would be very cool, and it would make sense for me to do so, I'm NOT going as Tarrlok lol. I already have an entire costume I made that I really like, and I don't think I could make or buy Tarrlok's outfit in such short time even if I wanted to 😅 maybe next Halloween though... if he wants to go as Amon again.

I'll probably post us in the costumes together right after Halloween. I do have a bit of a habit of waiting 1 BILLION days to actually post the photos I take though, so don't expect them super soon!!!!!!

(He looks so bald without the hood on 🙏 [in the last picture])

For those who have been doubting the new show, I do feel you. There are some rough patches of show, tell, and tell again. But man, it hits its groove HARD. Power through, and you'll be rewarded.
