Energybending - A Comparison

While the Lionturtle and Aang use the same technique, Amon seems to be using another method.

When Aang takes away Ozai’s bending, and when the Lionturtle teaches Aang energybending, they both thouch TWO points on the body, the yin tang and the ru zhong point aka the Ajna chakra and the Anahata chakra.

When Amon ‘takes away’ LBZ’s bending, he only touches ONE point, the yin tang.

Now what could that mean?

I think Amon is faking it. That he is making people believe that he is taking away their bending, when what he is actually doing is blocking a chakra.

Here is why:

Amon touches the yin tang point aka the Ajna chakra:

Yintang Acupuncture Point 

Location: Midway between the medial ends of the eyebrows  Actions& Effects:

• Calms the spirit - insomnia, anxiety, stress.
• Frontal headache.
• Sinus issues - congestion, sinusitis.

When Uncle is teaching Zuko about lightning, he talks about bending needing a certain amount of inner calm. So, if you were to close that chakra and lock all the anxiety inside someone, making them incapable of being calm, that would effectively take someone’s bending away.

Quite clever actually, since the more terrified they are/become the more permanent this block will be. And Amon is sure laying it on thick.

Ru zhong, Ajna chakra, Anahata chakra.

I’d also like to note that he touches the back of his neck too. It’s really split second but he does.

Now if we look here….

Hmmmmmm…..

“AMON”

OH MY FUCKING GOD

Holy crap. Never underestimate the Avatar fandom to pick up on everything. O_O

It’s Pikachu 3DS-tan!

Love it or shove it. Right, I promised, sorta, that I’d talk about the design of this one. The goggles, however poorly done, are indicative of the two screens, though I did want more subtle hints - the fact that her dress has two openings that are “windows” to see her are also indicators of screens, as well as the fact that the top one has, uh, depth. Just don’t try to touch her there.

The bottom “screen” is probably okay though, since she likes being tickled, long walks on the beach, and sitting in her cradle to recharge. Now I sound like a creeper.

Anyways, I wanted something more mobile and flashy, compared to her home console counterparts, hence the pose and, um, flash.

I think that’s it. I’m gonna go back to bed and pretend like I can sleep.

A bad ass piece of work by my buddy Rage! There is also a pink version on his DA (link above there).

I demanded he draw a 3DS-tan. He obliged. What a bro! c:

And then there are those days where I wake up to insults just for being male.

Apparently, only female artists are allowed to draw breasts. Who knew?! Luis Royo you got some ‘splainin’ to dooo!
