Shila Epilouge (Pianikpok) - A/N [AKA a really long a sappy post :D]

[BTW this is my 80th post! :) pretty epic 80th post, I think! :D]

So, wow. It's over! eeeps!! Before I go all sappy and comment on how much of a journey this has been, and all that good stuff, first let me comment on this epilouge!

**
This epilouge took me AGES, but not as long as I thought it would. it turned out TOTALLY different from how I had originally planned it, but I think I like it. I think! :D

so, Iroh. Yeah, that was sad, but I downplayed it, cause I didn't want to cry ;(. I needed someone to die and Iroh seemed the easiest. It was a bit wimpy, but I didn't want to get rid of anyone else. Well, Aang is a different story.

Hikari means light in japanese!! :) I LOVE that name, too! I was so happy when i searched it and found out it was such a pretty name!

Azula! I love her! She was soooooo fun to write! At first I thought I made her a bit TOO childish, but Sera said she was fine. I mean, her main problem is that her mother [supposedly] doesnt love her, so... yep.
Seriously, I want to write like 500 azula one-shots now. She is really fun to write. Try it! no, really...
hee hee, YES i did put a march hare moment in there! I couldn't help myself! It was just begging to be written!!
Oh and this line - “I guess so. It really is Zuzu’s baby? Not that moustache man? The earthbender? You two seemed to –“ LOL omg that crax me up SO MUCH!!! I was like dying when I wrote it... haha!

so. Sokka and Kya hadn't fought! I was like, WHAT? thats impossible! so, yep. :D

:D

OH and I wrote that thunderstorm paragraph one night when there was a giant storm outside. I was like 'ahh, I have to put a storm in my story!' :)

Kya is a bit weepy. But so am I... so... yeah. There is nothing wrong with being emotional!!! :P :D

Yes, Zuko and Kat named their son after Iroh. Isn't that so sweet?? :)

LOOK -> I explained Mai and Ty Lee's absence! haha. not well enough, I know. But I really didn't want to mess with them... I had more than enough characters already. (next time I write a story, remind me to narrow my focus to two or three characters, not like TEN! omyword. haha)

Yeah, so... I'm not really sure what Kya did either. that horizontal column somehow stopped the lightning. And since Ky didn't WANT to hurt azula, it didnt. Please, don't examine it. It is full of flaws :D

Sooo, um, sorry leila for kinda making your life tragic :D but hey, you ended up with Cha-li! so its k, right??? haha. 

Oh yeah, and, I had written this whole thing minus Aang's viewpoint. Like, Sokka just got the letter and then it went back to Kya's pov. but then I realized that I kinda needed to go into detail a bit. So, I put that little bit in. And then had to make this FB status: 'thought people would worry that I just googled 'how fast do you die if you get stabbed in the chest with a knife' until I found a yahoo answer for it and the person who asked the question was in the same predicament as me: writing a story :D'

and yeah, those avatar relics are two of the ones we saw in 'The Storm' :)

and I don't know what shila did to aang. avatar magicky stuff, I guess. :D :D

well, there ends THAT portion of the authors note :) now on to the sap...

:)



Wow. I cannot believe this is over!

When I started this I hadn't even seen the third season. In fact, i think I started it because I wouldn't be able to get the third season for a while and I was having withdraws :D

So, I know I'm going to go back and hate those first few chapters (i already re-wrote chap 3! haha) but it's ok! This was my first fully digital (like, I wrote it all on the computer) story to complete! I can't believe I actually did it! It's amazing, really.

mainly I need to thank Bryke, for creating such an awesome universe to write about! :D and all the voice actors, for living in my head and helping me out! :D
thanks to SERA! omd! Without her, thsi story would suck, no kidding! she was (almost) always there on chat when I needed to bounce ideas, validate viewpoints, or rant about zutara! :) thanks sis!
thanks to my family, who doesn't even know what the heck this story is about, but knows I am writing a story and gives me my space when i'm in the zone :D and tolerates my 'ZUTARA SHOULD BE CANON' random screams :D
thanks to Leila, for actually reading this story! haha! and for inspiring an awesome, if underused, character! :)
Thanks to Dr. Pepper, Fritos, Funyuns, Fast Breaks, and fudge popsicles (OMD do I have a thing for the letter F? What is that about?) for keeping me from going insane! :D
Thanks to my computer for being amazing! :D
and now for the music portion of this.

So, a long time ago, (not really that long) I realized that there were certain songs that fit with this story. So I created a playlist that I called the 'soundtrack'. I will now share this with you:

Stand in the Rain - Superchick
Save You - Kelly Clarkson
Shadowland - Various Artists(The Lion King [Original Broadway Cast])
Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
Stumptown - Nickel Creek
Maybe - Kelly Clarkson
Somebody Like You - Keith Urban

That is the Shila Soundtrack :) It is amazing and it really fits, and I love it. :D

other music that I owe my writing capabilites to (for I could not write without music...)

Veer-Zaara soundtrack

and THE TRACK TEAM omyword, without them... avatar would have been half of what it is! :)

ok, so... I'll stop being sappy!

I'll tell you now: There will be NO sequel. Haha! I love this AU, and Kya, but... yeah. haha. Maybe a one-shot, but that's unlikely :)

:D

EEK I don't want to end it. I need to bite the bullet

Shila CHP3 (Suinnak) REVISED EDITION - A/N

So, I rewrote this chapter, because I hated the previous version. I'm moving the previous version to 'Thought wasps and Luna moths' so it'll still be up. Like a deleted scene :)

Not too much to say here! Except I like this version much better, it kinda sets up Macahty a lot more.

for the previous author's note, which pretty much says what I would normally say :)

thanks!

~LS

Shila CHP20 (Uitayok) - A/N

As you can imagine, I have a whole story's worth of things to say about this chapter. But, really, since I can't sit there next to you and give you a running commentary, I don't have that much! :D

I love love love the letters idea. I kinda, sorta, not really but almost got the idea from a fic i read which I can't remember the name of right now. But I'll remember eventually! :D

in fact, I got so caught up with the letters that it was really hard for me to go back to writing dialouge haha. :D

SO this chapter is pretty epic. it is of epic proportions anyway. hee hee.

*sigh*

hahah, Sera wanted Zuzu to play the Tsungi Horn.So, I got them all drunk. hee hee. :D

OH and the name Yuuchi (pronouced somewhat like 'yoo-ee-chee' but with the 'ee' barely noticible.) I asked her 'what would you name your first child' and she's like, 'boy = yuuchi!' :D

OH and Liluye's thing may be a bit unbelievable, but really think about it. Sokka and katara really would have made an impression on Chief arnook, not to mention Aang. And, since Yue is gone, he would need an heir (although, admittedly, he probably would have already picked one but whatever) SOOO Kat and SOk could put in a few words and suggest Lil. PLUS that would also pretty much clinch the loyalty of Nuuk, since before they werent *clearly* NWT.

so, yup :D

hehe, my favorite line in this: 'he stroked the beard he'd been growing out'.. OH YEAH BABY! bearded sokky! hahah :D 'I can't, it is permanently glued to my face!'
:D

OH YES and I used the songs Have you Ever Really Loved a Woman [bryan adams] and They live in you/he lives in you [the lion king] for helaku's encouters :D

OMG only the epilouge left! wow! I can't believe it! Don't worry, I'll save all the sappiness for the last A/N :D

OH and I am about a third of the way through the epilouge. I think I'm gonna go back and fix everything first though... rewrite the zutara chapter. :)

Shila CHP18 (Omayok) - A/N

SO wow. this chapter took me a very very very long time. yup. Sorry 'bout that, invisible readers! :)

I love it!

soooo, because I am utterly and completely OCD I have to have 20 chapters. 21 with the prolouge. I absolutely adore the numbers 20 and 21, so yup. 19 and 20 not so much... haha :D so there will be one more chap and then an epilouge!


I got a new computer that basically serves as a notebook, so hopefully I'll get a bit more done... haha :D in fact, the next chap is almost done! :D

Shila CHP17 (Kamitpok) - A/N

So. Wow.

I think I am going to go do a dance of joy, or maybe cry.

Aye.

OK so DISCLAIMER: I used lines and scenes from Sozins Comet part 1 and 2 for this! Whenever she flashes to suki, and the agni kai and pre-agni kai stuff is straight from. Otherwise it would be wrong. and i wouldn't like that. I didn't mean any plagiarizing, see, here I'm giving credit!! :)

So yeah, pretty much she just kept flashing to Suki. This was mainly for the ending scene. everything pretty much happened the same except for a few key points:

-Sokka didn't kiss Suki when they were leaving the airship. He just smiled at her, in a friendly way.

-Kya and Hitomi took the lightning out of Zuko, which enabled Kya and Katara to heal the wound right up, without any other after effects. (it seemed a bit easy to me in the show... i mean it took spirit water to revive aang!)

-Ozai died. See, he was really fine. just kinda weak from having his bending taken away, but still as strong as any normal, slightly tired, man. Then he stabbed Suki with his belt buckle thing, so Sokka chopped his head off. this makes me so very much happier. I hate Ozai alive.

-Suki died. Ok, so honestly I like Suki. She is a cool character. But she and sokka are too hard to write, like how they aren't together. :/ so, I had to kill her. please note, she didn't die just from Ozai's flame ornament. That probably wouldn't be enough to kill her. She lost a lot of blood, passed out, and fell off the column thing. :)

-oh and I solved the worst problem I had with this story. How quickly Taang and Zutara happened. Don't get me wrong, I love both of them, but they happened WAY too easily. more will be explained next chapter! :)

so... yep. I was kinda annoyed with how un-involved Li was (sorry leiler-buddy!) but I wasn't going to go back and re-write. it had already taken me ?two? weeks to write this! :)

overdue...

SOOOO I've had these pictures scanned for quite a while!! :) thought you'd probably want to see them!!

This is Kya in her Water Tribe getup :)

Here is her in her Fire nation disguise. :)

Ok, so basically the challenge I gave myself was that they were all given a uniform: A tank, a pair of kulat-type pants, and a tunic. The challenge was to make them all look different :)

Kya here has the tunic wrapped tightly, and she has cut the sleeves to a nice, almost T-shirt length

Hitomi and LI! :D

Hitomi! I adore her outfit! I just about died when I drew it! I sat back and went "What! haaa!!"

her pants were actually just a last minute thing... I wanted to make them different than Kya's and Li's, but still obvious that they had once been the same pants. So, she put bands around them and made sweatpants/arabian pants.

Hitomi, much like Sera (no, duh), is the one that is able to take the uniform she is given and create an outfit that it was definitely not intended for, an outfit that takes a boring uniform and makes it spectacular.

I really want this outfit, just BTW

and Li :) What she has done is worn the tank and pants like Kya, but loosened the tunic, and cut off the sleeves.

:) I had the most horrible time with her eyes. I had them all nice and perfect and then I redid her hair and accidentally erased them, and couldn't get them back to their previous level of perfection! I'm pretty ok with how they turned out though!!

Shadowland

"I stared at the scene before me disbelievingly. It just couldn’t be possible. Our tiny, peaceful, little Island had been turned into a horrific example of the power of the Fire Nation. My heart was screaming no but my head knew I had to accept it. Accept what? That almost everyone I knew and loved was dead, and my home was a wreck? I don’t think so."
My version of the aforementioned pic...

I know, it's nowhere even close. (Like seriously... I'm not even going to think about that hand) But it's still cool! and I'm pretty proud of it! :)

done with colored pencils and photoshop.

the lyrics are from 'Shadowland' from the Lion King Broadway soundtrack. (a song which just happens to be on the Shila soundtrack. What's that? You didn't know shila had a soundtrack? more on that later... much later! :D)


:) ty

This picture...

is amazing. It literally almost moves me to tears.

mainly because it reminds me of Kya and Helaku.
I am currently working on my own version of it (I suppose if you give correct credit then it ISNT copying, right? Hope so...)

EESH just had to share!

Shila CHP16 (Kazoku) - A/N

OH Selina is based on my little sis. She was sitting next to me when I was typing, reading it, and I said 'do you want to be in my story?' and she said 'Yeah! Can my name be Selina?' haha :)

Shila CHP14 (Narpok) - A/N

SOOOO

this was interesting

YES so I was listening to the song Breakeven, by the script, and I was like ,"OMD this like sooo describes Sokka/Kya in my recent chappala!" (yeah, I think like that. What of it?)

the best is the line "You've got his heart and my heart, and none of the pain" :)

sooooo, I stuck in a bit from his perspective!

ANYWAY

erm yes, skepticality IS a word!

just don't look it up, OK?!

thanks.

MORE ANYWAYNESS

sooo, did you know she was *GASP* royalty???????????????? OZAI'S SISTER!!!! haha. I thought i might have given it away when i said her father was going to marry her to someone to try to patch things up with Roku, in an earlier chap. BUT idk!

~Translations~
Narpok - stumbles. (meh. not my best work, by far)

Canon, please

So today I am re-watching the last disc of AtLA in order to get inspiration for Shila...

they are completely and utterly awful. pure torture.

"OMG like, why don't you like it, they like totally defeat the Fire Lord!"

what are you, kataang? the last episodes are so wonderfully Zutara, and then they end up kataang... it makes me so depressed.

I read this in the Avatar Wikia page (the one for the Ember Island Players epi)

"The "cave scene" between Zuko and Katara's actors makes them seem like a couple. This is an obvious reference to the "Zutara" shippers."

REFERENCE?!?!? REFERENCE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?



WE DON'T WANT A REFERENCE!!!! WE WANT CANON, GOSH DARN IT!!!!


GRRRRRRRR


yes, I am seriously obsessed.

FELLOW ZUTARA SHIPPERS, BAND TOGETHER!!! THERE IS STILL HOPE

I mean, come on, we still have three movies! Lets all hope, pray, and email M. Night Shamalayn for a Zutara movie ending!

I would cry with joy.

I might cry just thinking about it.

ok, back to my depressed kataang life no

Shila CHP13 (Tonrar) - A/N

I actually really like this chapter. I mean, really.

Again, she was acting all crabby. Poor Kya, I don't think its a good week for her. I really don't understand why she's so snappish, but I guess we have an explanation now!

Thanks to Sera, as usual, for pretty much keeping this story believable!

ALSO thanks to my other cousin - Jell! She helped me with Macahty! I basically wanted Loki, but in avatarian form! :D So I asked her and she suggested Matata. I could not find him anywhere, and was stupid enough not to copy the link she gave me before we closed chat! So, I pretty much took what she gave me and transformed him into my own little party. Super-duper brownie points if you know a certain evil feline character who he was partly based on!! :D

Shila CHP12 (Padlakpok Ungayok) - A/N

I love this chapter. I really do.

BIG GIANT SHOUT-OUT TO SERA!

she (as usual) was an integral part of the completion of this chappie! Kya was being rather snappish, and I couldn't figure out why. I was in a great mood, but everything I wrote was mean and angry! I told Sera about it (we were im-ing at the time, like we do pretty much 24/7) and she suggested that Kya was sick! GENIUS! :D

So, this whole fanfic was inspired by the Beatles song - If I Fell. Well, Evan Rachel Wood's version of it (from Across the Universe)

I pretty much used its lyrics for Kya's part of her and Sokka's argument. :) I love that song!
It also reminds me, just a bit (the argument) of Sugarland's Stay... though it's not really meant that way.

ANYWAY

Oh sokka. Did you really think that was ok? Not good, Sokka.

THE BEGINNING - was from boiling rock pt. 1. I didn't mean any copyright infringement or anything - it belongs to nickelodeon not me!

OK not too much to say!

OH, basically what happened when she firebent was she like caught on fire, but she didn't get burnt. She felt hot, and she looked like she was on fire, but as soon as she put water on it she was fine.

Yeah, that needed a little bit of clearing up ;)

Hello readerettes!
I am here to talk about me and one of my best friends/cousin, Seraphima Stoff. I have mentioned her many many times before, she is the one who introduced me to AtLA (Oh, nice addiction enabling there, missy!), she has appeared in Shila, and she is my own personal blog stalker.

She completely cracks me up. We talk on IM a lot... even though we live just a couple streets from each other

Here is one of our conversations (it's a bit lengthy, I found it hard to cut down :D)

"~I'm messy, and a hopeless hypocrite. While my stuff is piled around the house, and I never pick it up unless someone yells at me, I will still tell others to clean up. Maybe I'm not so much a hypocrite as a person who doesn't want other people to make my mistakes, yeah that's it!!"

That pretty much is the epitome of me as well.

Yet,

"~I am a walking contradiction: I have a dark look out on life, but am a fairly happy person, sure sometimes I can be very depressed and I am perpetually in a bad mood, but enjoy life. I cling to logic but I can't stand it, I have to do everything for myself, but depend on other people. I hate asking for help, but like getting advice."

I am pretty much what you see is what you get. Not to say I'm not deep or complex (well, lol, that sounds rather vain... and odd... anyway)
:)

We realized of late that we are very much like a few certain, rather well known, television and movie buddies. We like to call them Dynamic Duos :D

Mainly: Kirk and Spock.

ITS SCARY PEOPLE!!!

This quote right here -

James T. Kirk: [Spock volunteers for what could be a suicide mission] I'm coming with you.
Spock: I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
James T. Kirk: See? We are getting to know each other.
James T. Kirk: [slaps his shoulder]

Yeah, that pretty much defines us

Try this:

Luthien: [Sera volunteers for what could be a suicide mission] I'm coming with you.
Sera: I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
Luthien See? We are getting to know each other.
Luthien: [slaps her shoulder]

In fact, we quote that quite often.

Another one we are very much like is Holmes/Watson.

"Sherlock Holmes: [Holmes is staring at a jar of flies intently, picking at his violin] Consider this, Watson. I play chromatics...
[plays a chromatic scale, the flies ignore him]
Sherlock Holmes: and nothing. However, if I play a sixth chord...
[he changes chords, the flies start flying in circles]
Sherlock Holmes: they flies in counterclockwise concentric circles. I have created order out of chaos with music.
Dr. John Watson: [amazed] How did you know to do that?
Sherlock Holmes: Trial and error, Watson. I've been at it for six hours!
Dr. John Watson: And what happens when I do this?
[he opens the jar and waves the flies away] "

She would so do that. As would I...but... :D

And one I have just recently discovered: Shawn and Gus

I literally screamed out loud when I realized this. I mean... honestly I find them to be who we are most like (though Kirk/Spock is definitely contending. Really contending.)

Check out this post I found on IMDB about Shawn and Gus (The author was responding to a comment about how Gus was thought to be annoying)

"I may be biased when I say this, since Dule Hill is awesome, but Gus is the yang to Shawn's yin, both literally and figuratively. Shawn is loud, Gus is more reserved. Shawn is lazy, Gus is not. Shawn knows random pop culture facts, Gus knows random scientific facts. Shawn isn't scared easily, Gus does. Shawn breaks rules, Gus follows rules.

For someone as outlandish as Shawn, he needs a friend that will reel him in. And I think Gus has proven more times than not that he's always there for Shawn. I love it when Gus says "Shawn!" in that voice of his. He's that reluctant friend that gets dragged into crazy adventures and messes by his best friend. His reactions are hilarious, especially when he gets squeamish over dead bodies [or blood, cough Sera cough] or when Shawn says something that doesn't make sense at all. Even though he tries to be mature and responsible, deep down, he's a man child just like Shawn. He just fights it more often, which makes his character that much more lovable.

And as the seasons have gone on, what I like about Gus is that, he isn't always being dragged to a case by Shawn anymore. He's pretty much fully on board with the agency and the gig. I think in season 3's season finale, An Evening with Mr. Yang, pretty much proves my point. Shawn needed to levitate the tension and pressure - usually he's the one to provide the outlandish comic relief - and Gus provided it. How can you not love "I want pancakes. Who wants some pancakes? Whipped butta, maple syrup, what!" or "guess who I am? hee hee!" or "I'm King Kong Raaaah!"

In "Death is in the Air", I love that Gus actually replies to Shawn (because I'm not sure he would have in season 1):
"Spencer One to Ground Control."
"We read you loud and clear Spencer One!"

The episode with "Shawn gets the Yips," I love that he agrees to compete with Shawn on who can get more screen time on TV and Lassie has to yell "Knock it off!" to them. [for real... we've done that before.]

And in that episode where Warren Clayton gets murdered and Shawn and Gus have to infiltrate the Country Club, I love how Gus answers a question by one of the golfers: “I had no idea psychics did so well.”
Shawn: “Most don’t.”
Gus: “Some do.”
Shawn: “Many try.”
Gus: “Few can.”
Shawn: “I have.”
[^that too, though perhaps not talking about psychics ;)]

Without Gus, Shawn can't come up with ridiculous nicknames for him like Ovaltine Jenkins or say lines like "Gus, don't be a ...." or get fooled into helping Shawn as in the case below when Shawn makes a note to himself.

Shawn: “Gus, note to self. Remember 1600 Joshua Lane.”
Gus: “You can’t give me your note to self, it’s a note to yourself.”
Shawn: “Fair enough. At that moment, Shawn found himself alone. Unable to face the journey ahead.”
Gus: “You can’t do your own omniscient narration, either.”
Shawn: “Let’s see what’s at 1313 Mockingbird Lane.”
Gus: “That’s the Munsters’ house, it was 1600 Joshua Lane.”
Shawn: “Thanks, note to self.”
[^yeah, I can see us doing that too... though we haven't yet.]"

Um yes. Who else can understand me when I say, "OMG would the offspring of Zutara have blue eyes? because you know... their kids might be my age, and don't you think their progeny would have both Zuko's AND Sokka's qualities? Ya know, since Sokka and Katara are siblings..."
or
"Ok, I'll be that girl Cam reconnected with at his HS reunion that he really liked, I think her name was Amy, and um, Vesper. Even though she died. Cause JB really loved her... she totally made him emo. And you can be Katara and Sha're, cause If I have to die, you have to."
or
"Lets bake! But lets not use sesame oil, ever. Even if it calls for it, we'll stay far far away from the sesame oil."

No-one else, that's who!!

:)
