Hola! The bad news is, this will be the last chapter. The good news is, I will be writing a You Know You're A (Insert Name of Male Canon Character Here) Fangirl fic shortly after this. So, if you have any suggestions, place them in your review. I will be writing one chapter per canon male character that I get suggestions for, so keep your eyes open for that.
Disclaimer: I'm too tired to type it out. The obvious answer, I suppose.
You have a whole outfit I wear to bed at all times just in case I get dropped into the Avatar world while you're asleep. It never hurts to be prepared, right?
You have a carefully composed four-page list of questions you would ask the cast if they dropped into your living room.
You spend far more time adding to and composing this list than other activities, like school.
You also randomly yell ZUTARA! at random people at any time or place.
This includes churches/synagogues/mosques/temples.
You are convinced you can speak lemur. (yes, that's me)
When you see a new episode, you sit in stony silence and drink in every word and frame. During the commercial you nearly explode with adrenaline/hyperactivity/twitching, doing a little happy dance around your living room, throughly creeping out your siblings.
You constantly quote the characters. Even Appa.
You know with out a doubt which nation(s) you would be/are from if you were living in the Avatar-verse.
You, in fact, know what nation all your friends/family/neighbors/political leaders would be members of.
You smile out of nowhere, due to the fact that you replayed a specific part of an episode, and your parents say, "Lemme guess. Avatar." They don't need an answer.
When you read a story, you picture the characters as the Avatar characters.
When you can't think of what to call someone you hate at the moment you say, "You're such a Zhaozulozai!"
They don't ask what that is.
Everyone at your school has a "Don't ask" policy with your weird little addictions.
Screw Lost, who needs it when you have the best TV show ever at your fingertips?
You lay in bed, yet don't go to sleep for hours thinking of Avatar.
You randomly sush someone who is talking and pretend to listen closely. When they ask you what, you say, "...Firebenders..."
You notice little things like, Zuko's sideburns were longer when he gave Jin the coupon than when she told him to close his eyes, yet you don't notice things like, you and your teacher are wearing the exact same shirt.
Except your shirt is inside out and backwards.
You watch episodes until you can recite them, expressions and all.
If someone threatens you, you get into a bending stance.
You wonder how to say Avatar words in different languages (Airbender, waterbender, earthbender, firebender, etc.)
You wonder who would win in a fight, Toph or Azula.
When you ask your friend, the argument goes something like this,
"Azula would so win. She's a firebending prodigy!"
"So is Toph!"
"Toph isn't a firebender."
"You know what I mean, idiot!"
"Nah, Azula all the way."
"Are you insane? Toph would so win!"
"And how so?"
"She could just make an earth tent sheilding herself so Aluza won't get to her and take her out!"
"But then she'd have an advantage, with earth everywhere!"
"So?"
"What if the fight was on metal?"
"That's not fair! Besides, Azula can jump."
"Okay... what if it was on ice?"
"Oh, now that's a whole different playing field..."
These arguments are so in depth and intense that you would think you were trying to debate peace in the Middle East, not argue about cartoon characters.
Your parents have forbidden you from ever mentioning Avatar again they're so bored of you ranting about it all the time.
You draw pictures of Avatar which you obsess over and redraw and redraw and redraw until they're PERFECT!
And then you draw it again.
You're the person who failed art because the teacher deemed you hopeless.
You put every Avatar episode on your iPod.
You made yourself a Katara necklace out of blue ribbon and a plastic sequin with the Water Tribe logo on it that you carved on with the sharp part of a compass.
You buy a pair of boots because they look "Sokka-ish."
When you insult or compliment people, you use Avatar names. (i.e. You're such a Zhao! He's hot like Zuko!)
You went on youtube(dot)com to watch every single episode that you ever missed.
Assuming you actually ever missed one.
You'd only miss an episode if you were close to death.
If you were on the deathrow, your last wish would be to watch the new episode before you had to die.
You think death is preferable to missing a new episode.
You write insane Avatar stories on fanficion(dot)net.
You waste valuable class time thinking about random Avatar things. (i.e. Where did Ursa go? I WANT ZUKO!)
You scorn every other show on every other channel.
When Nickelodeon decides to cancel a show, you say, "I don't care, just as long as it's not Avatar."
If they do decide to cancel Avatar, you say, "I'll sacrifice every show on Nickelodeon, just KEEP AVATAR!"
You would have a funeral and wear black for the rest of your life if they ever cancelled Avatar.
When you hear the words "Nickelodoen - cancelled - Avatar" in one sentence, you scream and throw a temper tantrum.
Anyone who threatens to take away Avatar doesn't come home from the hospital for a few weeks.
Anyone who insults Avatar suffers the same fate.
When you're bored, you rename all of your stuffed animals after Avatar things. The pig is named Jin.
You plan to hunt down and kill Jin.
You made up a name for Jin. And not a good one. (i.e. "that little bitch of a Mary-Sue!")
Appa has the reins tied around his horns FOUR times!
When you're on sugar high/drug high/drunk, you think you are a character from Avatar and try to set things on fire (i.e. Jin...)
You want to kill Jin.
And Song.
You would kill them in a way that would make them wish that ants were eating out their eyebals while sharks sloooooowwwly nibbled away at their feet, your way of killing them would be so bad.
During class, you will turn to your friends and say "Look at that dust cloud! It's so...poofy! Poof!"
Sadly enough, they actually get it.
You randomly shriek "Frindly mushroom! Mushy giant friend!"
You randomly shriek "DRINK CACTUS JUICE! IT'LL QUENCH YA! NOTHING'S QUENCHIER! IT'S THE QUENCHIEST!".
Especially when it is dead silent, like during a funeral or a coronation, or whatnot.
After putting Avatar episodes on your iPod, you watch it everywhere. (i.e. while eating breakfast, while doing your homework, while pretending to go to bed, while brushing your teeth, while doing your hair, when you're in class...)
Basically everywhere.
After watching "Cast Away", you go out and buy a white volleyball. You paint Momo's head on it with red paint... or blood... and name him Momo Wilson. You spend hours having animated discussions with Momo Wilson, and your parents don't ask who you are talking to. They know well enough. When you and Momo Wilson disagree on a particular shipping, you get pissed and throw him across the nearest highway. You then realize what you have done and frantically try to cross with cars speeding by and successfully retrieve your precious ball. Then, you take Momo Wilson fishing. Without your knowledge, he falls into the water and drifts out swimming distance. When you realize what happened, you risk your life trying to get the ball back, and when you fail, you cry and let your paddles drift away. Your father, who by now thinks you are a pathetic bum, cranks up the motor to the boat and goes to shore. You make a mini funeral for your lost friend.
You refer to the moon as a "she" and treat her with great respect.
You listen to songs and relate them to Avatar. If it's nearly impossible, you make up little one-shots and drabbles about it.
You put off homework and important projects to read fanfiction.
You have no idea what to name your characters in a modern fairy tale, so you name the evil step sisters Azula and Mai.
You name your pet after an Avatar animal.
The word "Jin" results in seizure-like twitching and swearing from you.
God save Avatar, you say.
Review, and I will give you all a mention in the sequel. Thanks for sticking with me, this is my first multi-chapter fic that I have completely finished! Woot! Go check out my other stuff if you want to leave a review, please!
I remain, reviewers, your obedient authoress,
O.G.
