Political Animals is a project from the superb fanon author, Omashu Rocks, who successfully manages to blend complex politics with the well-known Avatar Universe.

Only a naive fool would honestly believe that Ba Sing Se simply reinstalled Kuei as their leader and moved on peacefully. No, that wouldn't be possible in the most politically corrupt and morally bankrupt city in the world. Immediately after Ozai's defeat, cries for a change in government shot throughout the entire Earth Kingdom. While a few did favor Kuei to remain as ruler, most became addicted to the concept of holding a free Democratic election to determine who would become the President of the Earth Nation. Avatar Aang, believing it was not his role to use his influence to elect his preferred President, declared that candidates with similar ideas would form parties and a clear platform that the people could use to make their decision. Out of the genuine belief that he was best for the position and nothing else, General How immediately joins the Liberal Party along with Lao Beifong and others. To How's dismay, General Fong and General Sung form the Military Party and vie for the nomination, vowing for a strong militaristic rule over the nation. To make matters much worse, Long Feng establishes the Communist Party, and began to run on a platform of "standing up for the people".

Cake is the first chapter of the poetic masterpiece, Scarf, the newest project from esteemed writer, Theavatardemotivator.

Beginning on the birthday of the now six-year-old Bolin, the chapter sets the pace for the dramatic background story of the bending brothers, starting with the loss of their parents. Through imaginative and flowing language, Theavatardemotivator manages to submerge the reader in the whirlpool of emotions that young children feel when confronted with loss. "Cake" is overflowing with heavy emotions, though TAD's brilliant writing style combines it masterfully with lighter scenes. With several metaphors, "Cake" paints a unique picture, showing rather than telling the readers from Mako's point of view of how two young benders manage to survive in a cold world as the only stability in their lives is taken, forcing them to fight in order to remain together.
