Why do people ship Hila and David?

Hilda*** sorry for the typo

I don't hate the ship or have anything against it, just wondering; is it specific moments, their dynamic, they just look good next to each other?

ATLA continuation

As we all know, the 2010 movie was the reason atla never got a 4th season, but looking back I wonder what could they have done with a 4th season? Since the whole premise of the show was surrounding the war and trying to end it, would the comics make a good enough storyline for a another season that takes place post war?

Favorite Arthur song?

Even though the library card song is a classic, I'd have to say that Brain's "Jekyll Hyde" song is the catchiest

"In my Africa" honorable mention ☝🤓

Bumi's culture identity

To the person who made the post earlier about Bumi's culture identity:

We have no way of knowing how Bumi sees or defines his culture identity, one of the reasons being that he doesn't get that much screen time throughout the show and the second is that he doesn't need to identify with any ONE culture. I'm sure that having grown up in a household with two cultures, one of which being nearly extinct, within a city of mixed cultures as a non bender shaped his perception on the matter to where he doesn't feel like he's bound to one specific heritage or identity.

Maybe he embraces all, maybe he embraces none and just wears whatever, until he gets Airbending. Also the picture that was used (the one of Aang and Katara with their young kids) was canonically in black and white, so we have no real way of knowing which cultural attire Bumi was rocking, or any of the kids for that matter. The blanket that baby Tenzin was wrapped in could've been blue or green or black and Kya's dress could've been an Earth Kingdom dress. Bumi's clothes could've been yellow and orange for all we know.

I didn't quite understand what the point of the post was but I personally admire the fact that the creators didn't make Bumi "choose" one culture to identify with. Whether intentional or not, they conveyed the outcome of growing up in a melting put of backgrounds very well and realistically through him.

I do agree though that the whole "i am an X bender so I will dress as a member of X tribe/nation" rule is pretty cliché and could've been subverted from and experimented with better, especially with Kya and Temzin, and would've been cool to see a fusion between the two cultures. They did a good job at this in the comic that shows establishment of the United Republic (i think it was "The Promise"), so I wish they carried it into TLOK.
