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:
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…..

- Adam Savage is a geek to rival all geeks. When he’s booked at a convention, he sews his own costumes and spends the time he’s not doing panels wandering around.
- He’s also known for making models for fun, including the most accurate reproduction of The Maltese Falcon.
- Grant Imahara once went to a convention dressed as the Tenth Doctor. He has worn a Battlestar Galactica uniform as well.

Adam Savage is seriously my hero.
The Mythbusters just in general are my heroes

[[MORE]]Sometimes I like to look at really cute lolita dresses and think about how much I want to wear one someday.
But then I remember my favorite white sundress
which broke
when I tried to zip it up
because of my chest
and then I remember all the really cute dresses that I’ve loved
but when I try them on
I feel the fabric straining and I know, NOPE
all I want to do is wear nice dresses, but it’s pretty much impossible.
Fuck, I hate my body. Just… fuck.

I know that feel, honey. I think there might be a lolita site that’s more attuned to such bodies. I’ll see if I can find it for you. Luscious lolitas unite!
If you could find something like that I would die of happiness ;-;

Today, I snapped at my mom, and she snapped back. I’ve been really dragging my feet on sorting my stuff, and I didn’t realize why, and now that I understand, I’m not sure if I wanted to.
Because, I had a ROOM.
A room full of things that were MINE.
I had shelves with books that I owned, and a wall with prints that I bought, and sculptures and toys I liked and a dresser with all of my makeup and accessories on it, and there was just… places for me.
And now I’ve come home, and I have to give it all up.
This… isn’t really hyperbolic. I can put… my clothing back into my dresser. Some of my books will fit on my shelf. But the makeup, my accessories and dresses and shoes, those… there’s no place in my room where I can put those. I’ll have to put them away. I won’t be putting out any toys or prints or pictures. There’s no place for me to put my art stuff. I’ve just been using my tablet, and I don’t even have a place to keep it. I’ve just been leaving it on the couch.
And it’s painful. It’s really, really painful to have to go, “Yes, I will pack everything I own into a series of boxes and put it into the garage for several months.”
And there really isn’t any solution. I’ve tried for years, but in the end, the answer is basically, “there is not enough room in this house for me to have things”.
I’m going to just… have to come to terms with that, again.
I think I’ll get drunk tonight, instead.
