boy decide
Lots of new icons! This time all from Avatar! ...Man, I'm going to miss the Utena icons, but it was time for a change.
On the one hand, I know a lot of you are in the process of watching the show right now and/or planning on watching it sometime in the near future. On the other hand, there are a lot of images from later episodes I really wanted to make into icons. So I erred on the side of caution, and the only things you'll really be spoiled for are: a) people change clothes, and b) Zuko gets a haircut. ...Also, there's a lot of images in here that don't actually happen, because I think dream sequences are hilarious.

Katara loves Steel Magnolias.

...And then, ten years later, Aang takes her up on it.

Let me tell you about these great new dance steps I learned!
dancing isn't something you think about
Sweet dreams, little Avatar.

Worst parent-teacher conference ever! ...Or best, take your pick.
that's what any mother would say ma'am
This is what I look like after I spend too many hours watching Ghost Hunters.
jumpy from the ghost stories
It's a good thing for us all that I speak lemur.
just a few plums short of a fruit pie
Aang is very interested in what you have to say right now. Really.

True bliss is when a 10-ton flying bison gets its toes cleaned.

Don't cry, tiny Zuko! Your tiny boyfriend will make it all better!

Trying to kick your grandmother's ex's ass is hard work.

Maybe the best way to block uncontrolled fire blasts is not to hold out the soft, exposed palms of your bare hands.
DO NOT WANT
This is delicious.

Let the nice doctor spirit lady heal you up good and proper!

You'll never understand my pain, Crispy!

...I have no excuse for myself. Except for the part where you can just imagine me laughing every time I use this icon.
you're doing it wrong
You should've seen me back in the day.
who are these two beautiful women?
Next week, Mai opens for the Cure.

you're just a big blah
They're actually kind of adorable.
i know one thing i care about
Girls like it when you tell them stuff like that! Don't they?
you're beautiful when you say dumb shit
I think it's funny how many Mai/Zuko icons I ended up having, considering how amusing my reaction to the pairing is -- though I suppose it's because it's the only couple I really like who's actually spent any appreciable canon time being a couple together.
they danced by the light of the moon
The Fire Lord makes a fearsome art project.
and here's one that I made out of noodles!
Oh, somebody's getting taken out back to the woodshed.

If you object to this pairing, you are officially a bad person.

That penguin does not know what the fuck.
PENGUIN!!!!
It pleases me to know that this entire episode is pretty much just one big love letter to Sifu Kisu.
you got served
This isn't gay at all.
grindledore is basically canon
Say what?
how did you--?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.
we can't stop here this is wolfbat country
Be sure to hold your sleeve back so it doesn't trail in the ink.

Admitting when you've been a jerk is the first step toward stopping being a jerk.

For joy!

Master Piandao, you're so strong...

Also, I hear Avatar can save you from bandom!

I know they do things differently in the South Pole, but this is ridiculous.

Momo, you need to be a little more sensitive to my boundaries.
what are you doing in my mouth???
WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE
i love surprises
No, you can't have a pony.
not yours
You know, there really isn't a lot of (read: any) lesbian subtext in this show. This, of course, hasn't stopped me from having two hilariously femslashy icons. Perhaps it is I who has the problem.
oh Sokka you saved me
Or she will punch you in the face!
respect the Toph!
WHAT?!

He's picked a very nice place to have a flashback.
azula always lies azula always lies
And you know nine of those minutes were spent convincing Zuko to let him do it.
took my uncle 10 minutes to do my hair
Why do I have so many icons of Zuko? I think the better question is, why don't you have more icons of Zuko?
who needs a tighter noose
Zuko's not laughing at you, he's ... laughing at you.
it's no proverb!

heart that's full up like a landfill
That's the problem with going out with girls. You might actually have a good time.
it was nice.
I think the candle meditation thing is awesome, and I wish they'd show more of it. In fact, anything with Zuko being subtly attuned to fire is aces in my book.
hold the candle till it burns up my arm
I regret that there is no way to reproduce that western showdown whistle in text.

And here's all the icons I didn't use! All ... 360-odd of them. If you want to use any of these, feel free! Use 'em as bases or like they are, or whatever. And you can credit me for them, or something, I dunno.
Be forewarned that these get a little more freely spoilery from here on out, so if you're paranoid about such things, well, you can do what you want.
