Toph: So let me guess. You brought me out here to tell me your sister’s not as annoying as I make her out to be.
Sokka: Nah, she’s pretty much a pain.

Alduin’s Wall. Constructed in the Bethesda offices to commemorate Adam Adamowicz, who was the lead artist for Skyrim and the Fallout games, and sadly died earlier this year. What an incredible way to honour someone. Well played Bethesda.

darnaguen asked: Cameroon, Greece, Iceland and Kenya :)
Cameroon: Describe your culture.
Jesus H. Christ, how to describe the South without writing a dissertation.
I was born and raised in the Southeastern United States, specifically South Carolina/Georgia. I’m very much a product of that region. I was raised on Southern hospitality, manners, how a lady ‘should’ behave, and the fear of God. The South is called the “Bible Belt” for a reason.
My father’s side of the family was particularly old-fashioned. As a girl-child, I learned to cook, clean, sew, rear children, and tend the land at an early age. ‘Ladies’ wore modest skirts or dresses, and weren’t nearly as demur as the men-folk were led to believe. My paternal grandmother was the head of the family, and my father used to say that he had such a good relationship with my mama because she ‘wore the pants’ in the family.
My mother’s side of the family was definitely stereotypical patriarchal. It’s a very common senerio in the South, especially with the older generations. I’ve noticed that a lot of me generation walks a fine line between the old ways of the South (fire-and-brimstone sermons, narrower ways of thinking, strict gender roles, code-of-conduct) and the rapid changes of the world today (multiculturalism, globalization, redefining of old norms).
But the South, like any other place, has its bright spots. There is a lot of history in the American South. The region is known for its unique food, music, dialects, literature, and hospitality.

Greece: Do you let other help you when in need?
I’m the absolute worst at this. I’m independent by nature and take pride in it. I’m also a private person, so it is difficult to ask for help. But, I’m learning that it’s okay to need help, and to take it when it’s offered.
Iceland: Do you hide your real personality? Why?
It mostly depends on the company, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to not care about what people think about me. Most people are caught off guard by my educated sarcasm, social-mindedness, knowledge of a wide-range of topics, and foul mouth because I tend to be quiet.
Kenya: What is your favourite wild animal?
Whales. I’ve always been fascinated with them, even as a child. I love their singing.
