Link to Epigraph from Interlude 3 of Shadow of the Dragon King

This is the link and text I've used in my update Shadow of the Dragon King, Interlude 3: Dreams of Fire. Rather than try to disguise a long link on fanfiction.net, I'm simply posting it here.

The passage I've used is Sign Fifty-One: Shock, excerpted from the Hexagram part of the reading. In full it reads:

The hexagram Chên represents the eldest son, who seizes rule with energy and power. A yang line develops below two yin lines and presses upward forcibly. This movement is so violent that it arouses terror. It is symbolized by thunder, which bursts forth from the earth and by its shock causes fear and trembling.

I don't know much about the I Ching (or Yi Jing), just that it's a means of divination with a number of different combinations and meanings. It's supposed to be all philosophical and so on. I thought the omen sounded appropriate for the tone and content of the chapter.

Awesome Outfits for the Gaang

The ever-wonderful amyraine gave me this link, and I'm posting it here so I can look it up for future reference.

Aside from all the other awesome, what makes me particularly happy is that this is the first adult depiction of Toph that felt right to me. This is especially important for the purpose of fic-reading because my visual imagination sucks. It meant every time I saw a story with Toph in a sexual/romantic situation when she was supposed to be grownup, instead of extrapolating from the kid to the adult I kept seeing her 12-year-old self in my mind. D:  It added completely unnecessary and unintended trauma to the reading experience. And I couldn't think of those skinny boobilicious hypersexualized depictions out there as Toph, I just couldn't. But now? Yessss, now THAT is Toph. No more brain damage from reading sexy Toph stories! Oh such pervy joy.
