Description Jim crash lands in the Avatar world a couple years after Aang's saga. The multiple inventions that show up in Korra just came up along the way while he and Toph tried to get him home. He'd explain and design what he needed, and Toph would help him make it by metalbending.

Right now they're just sittin' on a cliff. Jim is starting to wonder if he'll ever get back to Montressor, so Toph is cheering him up. By nearly shoving him off the cliff, apparently...

Me and ~Lady-Hayes dreamed this up. We don't...normally...do this.

'Shipping Jim Hawkins with someone is apparently the final stage to knowing when you're an insane fangirl 'shipper. Consider this my initiation.

Toph's outfit is a combination of her canon one and her daughter's. (I drew this before Korra came out, by the way.)

Original pairing by myself and
Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet © Disney
Toph Bei Fong © Nickelodeon

Fire Nation industry mixed with Treasure Planet technology? Sounds about right...

I thought the same. Explains a lot of the sophisticated equipment in Korra.

Well, it's more akin to our real-world Industrial Revolution of the last two centuries...

Hahaha. Me and my friend mostly only 'ship canon couples, so, just as a joke, we were trying to think of a good pairing for him that wouldn't break up anyone else--like how Ariel/Jim breaks her up with Eric. And then this was born

YOU SHADED IT. And it looks MARVELOUS.

I've always hated how Disney shades things, too. It's kind of weird how they do it... a soft version of cell shading. -rambles-

I had a thought about the pairing last night. Meet me on mibbit around 11?

THANK YOU

I know >.< They should try something different. This style drove me crazy in Brother Bear, what with all the gradient on top of it.

Sure! I had a thought about 'em, too...-thinks-

So many gradients

I DID! It's pretty radical. I'll tell you about it on mibbit. SOMEDAY. WHEN YOU ARE HOME.

Yeah. I mean, naturally, we aged Toph up a little, but it's awesome. And no one else--that we know of, I've conducted a pretty thorough search--had done it yet! Psh.

Man, it's gonna be so much fun! I'll have to avoid dA each week, though--it'll TOTALLY spoil every episode.

Flurrin In reply to MadiiCake [2011-10-10 16:16:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, dang spoilerhounds. I think Mike and Bryan'll try to keep a better handle on that stuff this time 'round. They figured it out about halfway through season 3 and started only using really general working title for the episodes. (E.g., 'The Western Air Temple' was named 'Zuko's Coooool'. xD)

MadiiCake In reply to Flurrin [2011-10-10 20:17:58 +0000 UTC]

lol. Yeah, hopefully they'll keep the spoilers under control And, lol! "Zuko's Coooool" That would be cool for a parody or something

Oh my gosh. You need to watch it. As soon as possible. There's nothing bad in it, don't worry, and it just gets better and better and more awesome as it goes on.
It's got a fast-moving plot, great action, and jokes I still laugh at even the 40th time I've heard 'em.
Plus it's getting revived for another season in a Next-gen-fic type thing xD And it's by the original creators and devoid of all that regular executive meddling, so it's gonna rock...
-rambles-

Smokeylove11 In reply to Flurrin [2011-10-09 17:01:51 +0000 UTC]

But I'll probably go back and watch it all at some point. And be like, "Ahh, the nostalgia"~ ^^

Smokeylove11 In reply to Flurrin [2011-10-09 16:19:13 +0000 UTC]

I actually used to watch it and I was obsessed with it!
It's just... ...It was SO fun, but then it got all drama-drama-drama... Like, who's gonna end up with whom, who's not speaking to whom, etc. (Zuko and Katara forever~ Aang has more important things to do! D:< )
I know the ending and everything because my boyfriend watches it, but I stopped when Aang and Katara got stuck in the cave and almost kissed. I was like, "Alright, his mentality level is, like, 12, come on..."

Flurrin In reply to Smokeylove11 [2011-10-09 16:37:17 +0000 UTC]

...Wait...Romance bugs you, but you have a boyfriend?

I think you're talking about the fanbase, not the show. The show never had the Zuko/Katara pairing in question. They made it appear that way for like five seconds in one episode because it was a humorous prod at the fanbase, but there's nothing else. It's mostly just what the fandom would draw from an episode. (For instance, whenever there was a blue flower and a red flower in the background art of a scene, they'd be like "OHHH THAT REPRESENTS ZUKO AND KATARA!" I kid you not.)
Most of the 'pairings' are just friendships that the fanbase took as romance--because THERE IS NO OTHER KIND OF LOVE U GAIZ--but the bonds grow closer with each season, as with real people, and that's another one of the show's strengths.

You really should watch it, though. It's one of the greatest TV shows in existence. And I am not one to say things lightly.

Smokeylove11 In reply to Flurrin [2011-10-09 16:56:06 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well, it's just that it was all so cutsie and then became very much about the romances. ^^

Oh, like, when... Katara was going to heal Zuko's scar in the cave. ^^ I just always thought they seemed nice together.
I see what you're saying though. :3
I also stopped watching when Aang met the guro. It became very spiritual as well.~

Flurrin In reply to Smokeylove11 [2011-10-09 17:41:24 +0000 UTC]

What show were you watching? Avatar became more about the action and fighting, if anything. : P It only became about the romance if you were only watching it for the romance, that's true about everything.

I'm gonna stop arguing 'shipping, it's pretty pointless anyway.
That episode was decidedly spiritual xD It was a bit boring, but it toned down after that immediately, and only started to show shades of it again in The Old Masters.

Haha! That's what's so awesome about the 'ship. And crazy fangirl logic makes it possible.

Thanks! Took me quite a while to design, I appreciate you noticing it. My friend suggested the hair, though.

Thank you for the Fave! 8D
