So I'm pretty sure the forms you must master to become a Swordmaster using traditional Chinese or, to be non-specific, Asian martial arts are thrust, lift, point, cut, chop, and sweep.  "Parry"?  I'm pretty sure that's a French term and it's a blocking maneuver used primarily (or maybe even exclusively) in Fencing.  Actually, there are like seven ( Read more... )

I'm collecting fic and art recs (as well as other fanworks recs) involving OWL members to post over on pai_sho.  So give me what you got in comments, please, so I may add them to that page. :)  And yes, you can pimp your own stuff.

Stuff I think about:

An intriguing AU idea (that will never get written).

Azulon learns of Ozai's treachery in Zuko Alone and decides to strip him of his birth right and dissolve his marriage and take his children from him so they don't turn out to be a couple of psycho traitors like him. Iroh returns home and retires, making Lu Ten the Firelord ( Read more... )

...A pretty senseless 1st Season Zutara Capture dream where Iroh let Katara Waterbend and she nearly capsized the boat.  Zuko's like "WTF, UNCLE?!"  Jee and the others wanted to make Zuko's life rough.  So Jee told Zuko to recite Haikus to Katara because "Girls like poetry" or they'd mutiny.  And Katar's like, "I like poetry." <3  Then Zuko got ( Read more... )

Sometimes I like to imagine that Sokka and Ty Lee go on shopping sprees together.  Also, wouldn't it be neat if there was Jeong Jeong's School of Firebending where he didn't actually teach Firebending?  He just yelled at small children all day long? <3  Yeah, I guess that would be mean, but it's funny to me.

While waiting at the Pick Up counter at ( Read more... )

I had a dream, Fandom, in which Master Piandao tells Sokka that "Pai Sho is all fun and games until someone loses an eye." Then he flicks a lotus tile off the Pai Sho board. It sails across the room and hits some random guy in the eye and knocks him unconscious. He falls backward out of his chair and his feet go flying up into the air while ( Read more... )

I had a crazy dream where Haru was just sitting there, minding his own business, eating a bowl of food, when his mustache grew a pair of tiny legs and walked right off of his face.  It was crazy.  And he just sat there eating as though he wasn't even aware that his mustache was running down his front and heading into the woods.  Talking!Momo ( Read more... )

And speaking of random, I had a dream that Jeong Jeong was yelling at me for crackshipping Piandao with Azula. But I can't help it. I had another dream a few weeks ago where Piandao and Azula were fighting in a cave for reasons which did not reveal themselves to me. Then Jeong Jeong got really mad at me when I crackshipped him with Lieutenant Jee ( Read more... )

"Chasing The Avatar" is a fic idea I've been daydreaming about - an idea in which I write the stories of Zuko and his quest to hunt down and capture Aang but the stories are told only from the point-of-views of the members of Zuko's crew - Jee, the Engineer, the Helmsman, even the cook. Jee is actually my favorite minor character and I've always ( Read more... )
