ralph is a waterbender bc swimming and his dad (who is probably chief of the water tribe). also if you go by the book, do you know how ironic it is for a waterbender to be heavily reliant on fire for survival?

i guess this makes jack a firebender but idk how this works in the context of the book HAHA but hey, ~*~jalph symbolisms~*~ and steamy waterbender/firebender fight fuck yeah

(also what if near the end ralph has to bloodbend jack to keep him from killing him like fUUCK thats basically ralphs “gateway” to savagery (bc controlling people isnt civilized) but at the same time if he did that earlier maybe he couldve saved some lives idk just ralph struggling w/ moral ambiguity)

roger’s deffo an earthbender (he keeps throwing rocks at people, he fricking dropped a boulder on piggy c’mon) (bloodbender!roger is hella cool tho, jsyk)

tbh simon’s rly in tune with nature he could make a hella gr8 (if hella short-lived) avatar. otherwise, i’m leaning towards airbender bc they’re wise and spiritual and all. (also simon’s gentle, passive personality - kinda like air - in contrast to earthbender!roger’s blunt, unyielding one)

i’m all for nonbender piggy (he can be like asami and be good with mechanical techie stuff idk commoners nonbenders represent yo!!) (piggy was meant to represent the “common man anyway so.) (or maybe ironically an airbender bc assmar idk)

i’m torn between earthbender/sandbender and airbender for maurice haha. like he’s lively and free-spirited so airbender could work, but he could also be like bolin, you know? maurice would deffo use the airscooter a lot and use the winds to mess up people’s hair

samneric are firebenders maybe (also twin flame sounds like a cool band or smth) (also if we go by the book then jack taking the twins = jack taking away one of ralphs way of making fire ahha idk)

bill is a waterbender who can’t even swim, this is law. (he’s v good at anything to do with ice tho; his glacial constructs - ice swords!!!!! - take really long to melt despite the climate)

robert is an earthbender who has cute mud fights w/ bill uwu

firebender!walter bc he’s sunny and bright and stuff B)

harold is also a firebender (also irony bc waterbender!bill is his best friend and fire & water are opposites HAHA)

some of the littluns like henry, johnny and percival are sandbenders bc sandcastles ok HAHA
