Maybe if she learned how to put her lipstick on places other then her cheeks?

Smellerbee's sorta like the total opposite of those yaoi "he's a boy, but he looks like me" fangirl baiting character designs. Only she comes across as having about the same amount as testosterone as them.

I have no idea how to retort against that. Though I don't really think of Smellerbee as a girly boy. She's like..a tomboy that doesn't happen to care about attracting anyone ever. And she honestly thinks that staining her skin like that detracts less from her physical beauty than her actual face would without it.

...sometimes there are fight songs.

TobyMac - "Ignition"

Start it up
Turn it on
We can ride this storm
A grip of hope in our hands
For the coming dawn
Up to our necks in complexities
Causing us to pause
As we collect our thoughts

So don't blink if you wanna come cross the border
Take a look around or come test the water
We won't stop 'till we see the morning
So welcome to the quiet before the storm hits

Turn on, turn on the ignition
Everybody
Come on, come on and turn on the ignition
Come on, come on and turn on the ignition
Come on, come on and turn on the ignition

Comatose
Half-hearted
Room temperature's fine
Sleep walking, no dream is even filling our minds
Earth shaking

We be quaking like a wake up bomb
This ain't no trouble overseas
No Vietnam

So don't blink if you wanna come cross the border
Take a look around or come test the water
We won't stop 'till we see the morning
So welcome to the quiet before the storm hits

(Take it up a notch, come on, come on turn it up a notch.)

Turn on, turn on the ignition
Everybody
Come on, come on and turn on the ignition
Come on, come on and turn on the ignition
Come on, come on and turn on the ignition

Your sleep walking
I'm sleep walking
Your sleep walking
I'm still talking
Come spark the parts in me that all but died
Jump start my heart and wake the sleeper inside
Hold up the flag 'cause it's ride or die
Hold up the flag 'cause it's ride or die​

Thanks Chas ^_^ your post actually got me out of my Bee block

and for some reason that song made me think of this one

'Bleed It Out' by Linkin Park

Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind

Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose

Truth is, you can stop and stare
Bled myself out and no one cares
Dug the trench out, laid down there
With the shovel up out of reach somewhere

Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out,
When they bring that chorus in

I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out!

Go, stop this show
Choppy words in that sloppy flow
Shotgun opera, Lock and Load
Cock it back and then watch it go

Mama help me, I've been cursed.
Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him, he knows he works

Fuck, this hurts. I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied

So why, try ignoring him?
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When I bring that chorus in.

I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out!

I've opened up these scars!
I'll make you face this!
I've pulled myself so far!
I'll make you face this, now!

I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

I bleed it out
I bleed it out
I bleed it out...​

One of my FAVOURITE SONGS EVER.

Huzzah!

...and you're welcome! Happy to be of service, as ever! :: deep curtsey! ::

*marks Xia off the list* Now I just need to annoy Ty Lee and Katara, then my innocent little water bender can maintain his SRP virginity.

Ryota: ....bastard.

Not to burst Ryota's bubble, but Katara probably Wouldn't anyway. She is, as it happens, somewhat spoken for.

Xia, on the other hand, not as lost a cause as he might think. I mean, if by some stretch of the imagination she survives this little fracas (she really really isn't on the same level as most of Team Avatar), she may or may not want to do something life-affirming. And noisy.

May, or may not. Who's to say, really? XD

 

[ChasNicollette]

they could be frenemies in time..maybe?

er Frenemies = Enemies that could be friends if they didn't hate each other. OR Friends that can really only just tolerate each other's company so much before snapping.

As I recall, Toph and Katara were like this, at least at first.

(Especially during the episode "The Chase," when everyone was tired and cranky.)

...I kinda dig that vibe for our chicas. Sounds like it'd be fun to write.

I've actually been a little confused about the status of Aang and Katara's relationship in the thread.

Of course, that's partly due to a lack of interaction between those two and everybody else breaking up the canon pairings so their characters can be free to date again. For which I can't blame them, since Suki and Mai were going the NPC route.

And I could see that being a possibility with Xia. Plus, the whole baby boom after large confrontations thing we mentioned earlier. And I'm sorta wondering if the unexplainable charm displayed by Sokka extends to every male member of the water tribes? Otherwise, she may simply end up another addition to that cactus juice junkies unofficial harem. heheh

 

[Ahren1]

I assumed Katara and Aang were still together, since Katara was still an NPC until recently. When Katara was taken, Collette and I discussed it a bit and figured they were sitll together. Or at least that's how I figured it and she agreed. Since Katara is hers now, it's really her call if she wanted to break them up, but I'd sort of need a logical reason for it. I figured the vibe so far implied they were still together anyways. At least, I hadn't seen anything suggesting otherwise. The conversation with Mai proves it at least. So I'm not sure where the confusion was.

Mai dying was the only way I could rationalize a way to free Zuko up without making them just split over something, since they had already been through a lot. Plus it gave some reason to explore Zuko's darker side which might have been otherwise awfully subdued due to his relatively good life now, and finally gave the plot some dramatic points to get things going. I do feel bad for doing it, though. Mai is probably my favorite female character in the series. It's a shame no one wanted to play her.

Sort of waiting on a Lily post before I do anything else. I suppose I could make one with Aang, though.

 

[UnseenMaiden]

ditto on the waiting for lily to post..seems sort of pointless to write a post having Ty Lee only join in with the battle cry

though I have to say the vibe to me makes it seem like perhaps Aang and Katara haven't been together during theses or off again on again but have always held feelings for each other no matter the rockiness of the relationship

 

[Eazy]

I think everyone's pretty much waiting for a Lily post. Plus, the thread just doesn't seem the same without Toph getting bossy/bitchy right alongside the other girls on the airship. Poor guys.

And I've gotten a similar vibe with Aang and Katara as Unseen, which is why I wasn't sure on the nature of their relationship.

 

[Ahren1]

Well I dunno what you were expecting. This isn't the situation for them to be super affectionate.

 

[UnseenMaiden]

smut..duh? lol

and I wasn't saying I was right..your chars your rules..just saying how it seemed was all and that's mostly (to me at least) because of Mai's last words to Katara

 

[Eazy]

Heh, how awkward would that have been if Katara were to jump on Aang when he showed up and the two basically started dry humping on the table during the meeting?

Yes, it would have been out of character, but, dammit, the thought of it amuses me. *snickers*

Heh.

Had I assumed control of Katara from the beginning, and had SeanRenaud's short-lived claim on Aang not put it in my head they'd broken up, things likely would have produced a different vibe.

This is not to say, of course, that 'Tara would have jumped her sweetie the moment he stepped within reach of her water whips, but there would have probably been some beaming smiles, some twinkling eyes, some hand-holding, maybe some delighted whispering.

Now, with this in mind, Aang is technically, as a certain YouTuber might put it, a "Kung Fu Action Jesus," in a very real sense a religious and messianic figure. He's the incarnation of The World. And there's certain folk as would frown on a Messiah getting all kissy-face with his girl in public. So maybe there's a certain decorum they're practising, holding back.

...oh! Kind of like Neo and Trinity in "Matrix Reloaded." ...Aang has to Messiah this, and Messiah that, and oh, while you're at it, could you Messiah some of this stuff over here? Busybusybusy.

(As soon as everyone turns their back, however, maybe even to go to a town meeting or to church? They'll be at it like Rabbaroos.)

Maybe this will clarify?

 

[ChasNicollette]

Also, I've reread Unseen's last Bee post like four, five times now and it takes my breath away every time.

Such a brilliant take on the character, such a poignant look at her history, so very very lovely.

(Makes me cry a little.)

 

[Mephistophelily]

....Sorry.
Will get to posting tonight.
Major fill-in time at work...

Thanks ..that's about the nicest thing anyone has ever said about my writing before(no Eazy I'm not lying this time)

and I'm glad..even though writing it makes me feel guilty as hell.... *huggles Smellerbee* poor Bee


also Kung Fu Action Jesus(he's fightin the bad guys and makin them pay) does have a burden on his shoulders like no one's business with that whole enlightenment brought on by generations of experience...some of which Nickelodeon touched on.. so I can see how he has to act at least somewhat proper in public around his lady love

 

[Eazy]

*cough*bullshit*cough*

And I still wish one of my characters was enough of a bastard to leave Smellerbee tied up on the airship while it crashes.

 

[UnseenMaiden]

and I would say she deserved it if it wasn't for the fact that she is perfectly capable of doing a hell of a lot worse than what she's done.

Smellerbee is to The Gaang as Wolverine is to The X-Men.

Short, gruff, violent, but as integral a part of things-- perhaps moreso --as some of the more tight-laced, more powerful members of the team. Loyal and wise and only ever violent to them what have it coming... though perhaps slightly more violent then some folk might like.

 

[UnseenMaiden]

it amuses me that she doesn't happen to mind being the person that people don't really like. (Not that she wouldn't beat their asses if someone was too blatant about it) She's never been one to fight for attention..like Ty Lee... and even within the Freedom Fighters, she'd rather they hate her and do what they need to do to keep them all alive and safe, than like her and get lazy... Plus she's fairly sure it's only a matter of time until they find a leader they like better and when they do she'll more than likely leave and go find some place else to live

to me Smellerbee is pure awesome and I how she doesn't make an effort to censor herself..makes it so much fun to write

Should we have the airship arrive in the next few posts?
