Did I ever tell this place I'm obsessed with becoming efficient and effective so I can do the things that I love? Well, I am.

At times I feel like I'm just rotting. Ex, I'm just watching youtube to past the time or whatever. I see other people rotting too, and I refuse to stay like them.

Naturally I am writing this while I'm pretty motivated, but lets see if I regret this post tomorrow when I wake up.

Is that a bruh of solidarity with your past self, or a bruh of regret

-Galaxian-

I have been in hand-to-hand combat with what I can only say is likely the common cold for the past few days.

I almost had it defeated last Friday, but then an... unexpected event outside of my control made stay awake past 2 am, and I think that threw everything off and put me back at square 1.

I mean, I think I have a right to be a little frustrated at it. But not to get into too much detail, it was someone else's actions that forced me to stay up and do some stuff that probably ended up pushing my body too much.

fart

yes

Nearing the 3 month mark since I "soft closed" Hidden Sails sign-up. If you are counting since I announced the thing, it's already been 3 months, and with nothing to show baby 😎😎😎

An obligatory post to say that yes I still am working on it, believe it or not. Mark my words, when spring break comes around...

Water has got to be the best bending element overall out of the core 4, is it not? Super versatile and everything.

I have felt pain concerning character designs.

Like, I just saw a cool hairstyle and I think I shall steal it. The only thing is now I got to draw it out in the artworks I've prepped 😭

A reason why I gifted characters because I don't have to worry too much about the design

Yes. YES I fervently agree on this water is very cool
(I'm not sure if you're talking about AtLA or just in general but I agree on any)

Yeah I was thinking of ATLA when it came to that sorta stuff. It's a real jack of all trades element. it's got it's own sort of thing, water, but it can also emulate earth with ice, and idk if mist bending is a thing, but since that's mostly water as well, can't that be close enough to air bending?

On top of this, it can still deal with fire pretty well since you know, water extinguishes fire. But also it can even deal with like, lightning benders and whatnot with ice since ice doesn't conduct electricity. Plus while it may not seem like it, there's water in loads of places, you just have to know where to look.

Oh, and yes, spring break is around the end of this month

Oh shoot I totally forgot about healing abilities. Yeah that's crazy.

I think if you heated water up to scalding, you could definitely get some burns similar to fire bending for sure. Then it turns into you don't really need to hit an opponent with just blunt water force. As long as you touch them or seep into their armor you can deal damage.

Honestly, with all these styles, I'm pretty sure a single water bender could probably specialize in only one or a few of these styles (unless if they were a genius or spent a lot of time on it), but you could still get a pretty strong team of solely water benders.

Yeah I was also wondering that too. People are always like "airbenders can bend the air out of your lungs." But by that logic can't waterbenders bend out the moisturization from your skin and body too?? Nevertheless, as long as there are plants around, you can get some water too, which is pretty good.

Well, I presume most benders can fight since bending is based off of martial arts + the world they live in has like, widespread conflict so it's better to actually know how to fight rather than not.

I suppose, it for sure has the highest defensive capabilities, plus you can build a house wherever you go. But other than that I can't really find that much versatile use out of it. I mean yeah there were really freaking powerful earth benders in the past that could like, push continents, but the example in my mind is the avatar and that's a super outlier

Ok I just reviewed the wiki, and there are actual lots of cool stuff earthbenders can use nvm I retract my statement of non-versatility. They are also versatile. I totally forgot about sonar-sense and other epic techniques. (I realize every bending style has their own strengths and weaknesses and it's pretty hard to chose one)

Edit: Oh, on the topic of most people being water, I think when people ask the question to be a bender, they go with water because it fits the most personalities or smth. You know? Or at least in my experience.

I wish I knew a lot of classical literature and mythology and such so I could reference them in stories, because I think that's cool.

I mean there's nothing stopping me don't get me wrong but that's just me talking. I should get reading soon tbh.

 
It is both a curse and blessing but also very fun!

I was thinking of putting random thoughts I have here but idk
