soc_puppetIn honor of the little ATLA rebirth that's going on with Covid and everything, I've got some old links to share!
Once upon a time, when Nickelodeon was actually giving some passing thought to milking ATLA for what it was worth, they came out with these little side-books to accompany the main series. These books were roughly half first person episode-retelling, and half background worldbuilding. How official it is and how well these hold up, I have no notion! TBH, I only really remembered they even existed when I was uploading the stingray patterns and saw the files still active(!) in MediaFire. Anyway, for those who are interested, here you are!
Tasty Cultural Tidbits!
Some notes:
- When I originally scanned these, I did so two pages at a time; "Joined page" just means I didn't bother to separate the pages in editing, whereas "Split page" has the pages, well, split into individuals. Split pages are also larger in size.
- The "Culture only" versions include only the Tasty Cultural Tidbits of worldbuilding, while the "Story only" versions have only the novelized episodes. Each of these is made from split pages.
- The Water story bits retell episodes 1x01, 1x02, 1x15 and 1x18-1x20; Earth retell 1x06, 1x05 and 1x11 in that order; Fire retell 1x15, 1x06-1x07, and 1x13+1x19-1x20, in that order; and Air retell 1x03, 1x12 and 1x17
- The order, Water - Earth - Fire - Air, is as they were listed on the books themselves, but you should be able to read the cultural stuff especially in any order.
- I don't remember everything that was in these, nor can I say how well they hold up with canon after both ATLA and Korra ended, but there is some interesting stuff in there for those who care to take a look!
Oh, they should also be relatively spoiler-safe, at least up through early Season Two of ATLA. I have no actual plans to check these at the moment to find out.
Anyway, enjoy?
