The legendary world of Avatar the Last Air-bender is a topic of excitement for fans who love the animated series. The Legend of Korra was a continuation of this series that many fans adored as well. Creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino created the series back in 2001 and it was the start of one of the biggest phenomena of all time. The animated series drew in fans of all ages as it combined action, romance, kung fu, social injustices, teen drama, and moral lessons into a funny, action-packed, endearing show. The world-building and development of the characters, plot, and background of the show make it extremely interesting and likable and intriguing for viewers. In Avatar, the Last Airbender, Aang is a 12-year-old air bender, the last of his kind; he has bee trapped in ice for 100 years and has missed the war started by the fire nation. He is also the avatar, an individual who can bend all four elements (earth, water, fire, air), meant to bring peace to the world. The series revolves around Aang and his allies as they race to stop the tyrannical Firelord Ozai of the fire nation from conquering the world. The story of the avatar continues in the Legend of Korra, with Korra, a water-bender, being the next avatar, struggling to keep peace in the post-war world.

Besides the animated series, there is an Avatar the Last Airbender movie which came out a decade ago, but this movie did not receive much praise and acclaim as it did not portray the avatar world in a believable way. Netflix announced a live-action series in 2018 with both creators Bryan Konietzo and Michael DiMartino on board with the production for the new show. However, just a couple of days ago, both creators announced their departures from the live-action show. In their messages to fans, Konietzko and DiMartino both said in their statements that they were not given as much say in the project, and they left because they did not see the show being made in the way that they had imagined it. They said that Netflix did not give them as much say as it said it would and their vision for the show would not match up with what was happening in its production. This announcement made many fans sad and disappointed; it will truly be interesting to see how Netflix goes about making this new live-action show now that the original creators have left the team.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
