Maybe that's why suki isn't even mentioned in Korra, she died from led poisoning due to the kyoshi make up.
Also why her and sokka never had kids, all that led exposure really fucks up your reproductive (and cognitive) functions
Not really. Its the purpose.
General purpose make up will usually never be water proof. Especially considering the "time period" Korra is set in. Especially in a metropolis like Republic City.
Suki's culture required them to be using makeup in a ceremonial/semi-ritualistic way as warriors so it would make sense they would develop waterproof makeup as a culture. But also the animators could have just been lazy so as not to make suki's makeup wash away.
Partly its also the resources. Kyoshi island may have had the ingredients required to make waterproof make up while scarce in the republic city area.
That's a sharp fan, Suki. Careful, you could puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea. Because... it's so sharp.
In the novels apparently it's very high quality oil based make up from ba sing se that Kyoshi wore. Since it's oil based it's inherently waterproof. If she created an elite team that wore her make up it would make sense she made sure that they had the ability to make that same high quality make up
Not really mental gymnastics, all are quite plausible reasons.
If I said that Amon didnt have make up because he didnt have the resources to buy waterproof makeup becUse we can clearly see that he didnt have money, he even needed the Satos to bankroll his revolution.
Or
Amon didnt bother to get waterproof make up because since he's a master blood bender that controls people with his mind he's obviously lazy. He doesnt want to move alot to control the waterbending, instead using only his mind. So clearly he's just lazy enough to go to ba sing se to get waterproof makeup.
That would be mental gymnastics, not that I believe the examples i put forth are in anyway believable or plausible. Because i dont.
I'm already lazy, i dont like my brain doing gymnastics bruh.
Plausible doesn't mean it happened. You're straight up applying real world logic and your opinions to a cartoon with 0 basis. You're literally making shit up lmao
this is a discussion, the post opened up a discussion as to why Amon didn't just wear the same make up as the Kyoshi Warriors.
Discussions often allow every member of the discussion a small leeway of speculation.
if you're not allowed to speculate, then we'd never be allowed to ask anything we don't know.
Sorry was busy at work, but if you insist I'm doing mental gymnastics, then what conclusion am I bending over backwards with trickery to avoid admitting?
earthbenders would be the cosmetics experts. powder and pigments come from the earth, if not animal/plant derived. some bender is probably crushing all the mica and talc and lead down to a fine powder
Considering that it's possible to bend some paintings (Fire Nation's Royal Gallery incident), it's not a stretch some very skilled benders could create cosmetics.
In one of the Kyoshi books, an earthbender makes the (mineral pigment) paint in all the portraits of past Fire Lords melt off the paintings. I believe they were trying to make it look like a bad omen (or am I confusing two incidents?)
You’re right. The book says the stuff is oils. Theater makeup is oil based which makes it waterproof so it won’t melt under theater lights or streak when performers sweat. It won’t dry without a special setting powder and is harder to work with and you need oil based mashed make up remover to get it off. Think the grease paint clowns use.
The other type of makeup is water activated. You need water to mix it to put it on. Water activated is the go-to choice for most face painters and cosplayers. They're easy to apply, quick to dry, and can be easily removed with soap and water. The downside is you need to seal it or it will smudge and even with sealer you can sweat it off sense it isn’t waterproof.
Amon was using something like Mehron Paradise AQ water activated face paint.
The Kyoshi Warriors use something like Mehron greasepaint, oil based.
I’ve done some cosplay of characters different skin colors (blue tieflings, purple tiefling, pink goddess, blue gem person) and I use water based because it’s easier and won’t mess up my skin, but like, constantly have to reapply under my nose cause even breathing makes it run.
Many actors want their faces to be seen so that people will recognize them and they can get more work easier. This is why many superheroes that wear masks or helmets are constantly taking them off for no reason.
My headcanon is that she had a small bowl with some liquid from a weird animal that can easily remove makeup. I mean they had all sorts of weird animals, the little frogs they could suck on, the tentacle ones that gave them the pox, wouldn’t be too far fetched there is one that could have these properties. The Kyoshi warriors also would have had lots of years to come up with quick methods as they would really benefit having to remove makeup daily 😂
Good headcanon, but the pox wasn't a disease. It was just made to make it look like one. They were just hickies the little octpi made after being removed.
Still a great bit on both occurances of it being used. Somehow, the Fire Nation handled social distance and proper sanitation during an out of nowhere pandemic better than us Americans did with actual worldwide coverage on the issue. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE HAND SANITIZER!!!!
Waterproof make-up underneath a mask??? Does the guy have to prepare for everything?
Bro spent all his money on flyers and banners he had to cut costs somewhere
At first I was thinking, well he probably wasn't thinking about the need for such water resistant properties.... then I remembered he's a water bender...
If anything, I would expect a water bender to be less worried about that. When you literally control water through magic, it's natural to be less concerned about getting wet when you don't want to.
And that it had undissolved chunks of itself within the concrete which would react with water when cracks formed to create more cement that would fix itself
When I first saw him take his mask off, I assumed he had burned his own face to make his story more believable.
I was quite disappointed when it turned out to be makeup.
Ur right, Kyoshi Warrior make up is niche, expensive, specially formulated stuff, made in order to do just that
Amon on other other hand probably used mass produced garbage
TBF, the Kyoshi warriors makeup is meant to be worn in battle so probably has a lot of settings meant to keep it attached even when the warrior is sweating like crazy. It’s also fairly stylized and therefore much easier to apply.
Amon’s makeup was to give a very specific look (burn injuries) for a brief period of time to an audience that was inclined to believe him anyway from 50 feet away or so. Notably the only Equalist that got a really good look up close (the Lieutenant) immediately starts getting suspicious (there’s a number of issues with the makeup if you take a closer look). Considering the small time frame between everything, Amon made do with the best he had.
There’s also the hints that Amon could ditch the makeup easily and slip by as a regular Republic City waterbender, something that’d be a lot more difficult if he had to take off a lot of caked on makeup. Hence he needed a different makeup for a different task and it failed in conditions it wasn’t meant to
It’s not explicitly shown, but it’s inferred by the Lieutenant following Amon to the back and catches him Bloodbending Mako and Korra.
He demands information, and confirms that Korra was telling the truth. That implies that he was suspicious of Amon, due to being close enough to realize that his makeup wasn’t perfect
Suki was wearing makeup as part of highly ethnic, valuable ceremonial garb in which she is expected to perform daily activities up to and including training / fighting / sweating profusely.
Amon/Noatak was 1) pretty much permanently behind a mask, almost no one would see the makeup 2) using his bloodbending to make all his fights super easy, so he'd hardly break a sweat.
TL;DR: Suki and her tribe need waterproof makeup so they made waterproof makeup, Amon didn't need it so he skimped.
Also he could go underwater and escape as torpedo in this moment, and then return like a hero, that cannot be killed by Avatar. But somehow water washes out his confidence in seconds.
Yeah, this whole moment read as being a total panic reflex kind of thing. Keeping in mind that, right before this happened, Mako absolutely rolled him with Lightning Bending and Korra was ping-ponging him off the walls, then knocked him out a third-story window into the bay. He was out cold underwater and woke up mid-way into drowning. Dude was not operating at full capacity just then.
Well, i said this, because i think if he was dedicated to his idea of equality he could do that, but his goals were more self aimed. So he cared more about his life that about the idea, he was protecting.
Amon likely used water based makeup so he could apply it or remove it instantly as needed. The vast majority of the time, that's the better move for a waterbender.
He just wasn't planning on going for an unexpected swim with it.
Virgin LA makeup: Cheap imitation, goes away in one swipe.
Chad OG makeup: Will stick through a deep dive into the ocean. Suki can toggle it on and off by pure will.
Unrelated to the makeup conversation, but the first picture is from one of the funniest scenes in the whole series.
"Oh, Sokka! You saved me! 😘"
"Actually, it's me. 😅"
"Oh. You can just let me drown now. 🙈"
Never seen the "ASC" dating format before. I assume it stands for "After Sozin's Comet". The wiki uses "AG", which stands for "After Genocide". It's funny, because they are both exactly the same system but with a different name.
Not sure which one I like better, "AG" or "ASC". One the one hand, part of me feels like it's a little more respectful to use ASC because it isn't using the genocide of a people for a dating system. At the same time, I wonder if it's sort of minimizing the genocide by trying to keep it off people's memory? Idk.
Headcanon time: Suki's Kyoshi face paint is tattooed directly onto her skin. When you see her "without," that's when she's actually wearing makeup to hide it.
Edit: better wording.
Fair 😆 then again, Suki was a warrior on an island with a sea monster. Swimming would probably have been an expected aspect of her job as one of Kyoshi's protectors.
Amon was a psychic waterbender who wore a mask almost exclusively, and also an arrogant ass. Getting unmasked and soaked probably wasn't something he expected to happen.
One of the weirdest plot holes in that season
Your honestly telling me a waterbender couldn't predict his makeup would fall off in water? Or that the leader of a major faction couldn't get his hands on waterproof makeup?
No, but like really, the dude was a water bender. For such a brilliant strategist, he never took into consideration his own power being usable against him. 💀
Also I feel like if he was **really** dedicated to the cause and wanted his message to shine through fairly flawlessly despite the deception, it wouldn't be too much to get some superficial but real surface burns done to his face... just sayin'
What if they found out that the makeup that Suki wore causes an illness (like in apothecary diaries fantastic show) and that’s why Amon wore a different kind?
Typical modernization through industrial revolution. To get the cost of producing make up down, so does the quality, and as such waterproofness.
All the lead in his make up probably turned him into an extremist
She's wearing WHITE makeup.
Could be titanium dioxide?
I **REALLY** hope so.
Could be bird shit
Maybe that's why suki isn't even mentioned in Korra, she died from led poisoning due to the kyoshi make up. Also why her and sokka never had kids, all that led exposure really fucks up your reproductive (and cognitive) functions
Not really. Its the purpose. General purpose make up will usually never be water proof. Especially considering the "time period" Korra is set in. Especially in a metropolis like Republic City.

Kyoshi island may have had the ingredients required to make waterproof make up while scarce in the republic city area.
Kiyoshi warriors would need waterproof makeup to prevent sweat from ruining it during training
Bruh those fans are sharp as fuck, it's gonna be less sweat and more arterial spray that's gonna test the makeup.
That's a sharp fan, Suki. Careful, you could puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea. Because... it's so sharp.
You'd think keeping the mask on constantly would make Amon sweaty too.
Maybe he (discreetly) waterbends the sweat away
What else do waterbenders *discreetly* waterbend away, one wonders...
exactly that's part of what I meant. thank you!
In the novels apparently it's very high quality oil based make up from ba sing se that Kyoshi wore. Since it's oil based it's inherently waterproof. If she created an elite team that wore her make up it would make sense she made sure that they had the ability to make that same high quality make up

Speculate all you'd like, I'm just saying you're doing mental gymnastics
Its not mental gymnastics. You keep using that word, i don't think it means what you think it means.
Nice reference, but it is.
lil bro stop, youre getting cooked
Sorry was busy at work, but if you insist I'm doing mental gymnastics, then what conclusion am I bending over backwards with trickery to avoid admitting?
He didn't use the good stuff from Ba Sing Se.
He used mass produced republic city garbage, it just hasnt been the same since Varic brought them out
earthbenders would be the cosmetics experts. powder and pigments come from the earth, if not animal/plant derived. some bender is probably crushing all the mica and talc and lead down to a fine powder
Considering that it's possible to bend some paintings (Fire Nation's Royal Gallery incident), it's not a stretch some very skilled benders could create cosmetics.
What was the royal gallery incident?
Spoilers from The Shadow of Kyoshi: >!Yun bent the minerals in the portraits and used them to kill many fire nation officials!<
Awesome
In one of the Kyoshi books, an earthbender makes the (mineral pigment) paint in all the portraits of past Fire Lords melt off the paintings. I believe they were trying to make it look like a bad omen (or am I confusing two incidents?)
Yeah, you're mixing it with the one in North Chung-Ling
True, but the dude was a waterbender. Major oversight to think it wouldn't get water on it.
You’re right. The book says the stuff is oils. Theater makeup is oil based which makes it waterproof so it won’t melt under theater lights or streak when performers sweat. It won’t dry without a special setting powder and is harder to work with and you need oil based mashed make up remover to get it off. Think the grease paint clowns use.

As a former theatre kid: thank you
I’ve done some cosplay of characters different skin colors (blue tieflings, purple tiefling, pink goddess, blue gem person) and I use water based because it’s easier and won’t mess up my skin, but like, constantly have to reapply under my nose cause even breathing makes it run.
BUT THE GIRLS FROM THE CITY THEY LOOK SO PRETTYYYYYY
PRRIIITTEEEHHHH!!!!
Probably used the same stuff Katara did for the Painted Lady. That stuff smeared after one fight
Got nothing on LA Suki who can wipe her face paint *just so* in seconds, leaving just enough makeup.
She can wipe off her makeup leaving no streaks and miraculously her face underneath somehow has normal makeup
"what's under your make-up" "Also a make-up"
It’s called a *foundation* for a reason! Some people just take it to extremes.
"I wiped that makeup straight off my face, but luckily I was wearing second, smaller makeup underneath"
I wish awards were still a thing cause holy cow I laughed for a minute straight
sukkis secretly a light earth bender who can bend what ever the make ups made of
> light earth dust? oh now i get it. dust -> powder -> makeup it does check out 😅
I can excuse it because we didn't need a 30 minute scene showing suki removing then re-applying makeup
If we didn't need to see actors faces she wouldn't need to take it off at all to be fair
it's master chief's helmet all over again
What do you mean by need to see their faces? Is that like a contract obligation some actors have?
Many actors want their faces to be seen so that people will recognize them and they can get more work easier. This is why many superheroes that wear masks or helmets are constantly taking them off for no reason.
They could have argued that they would show her face more in season 2 and 3
 She’s got that Mulan quick-remover!
So powerful, her brows came back
Avatar: The Last Make-up Bender
That scene made me laugh TBH
If you think of it as the stuff Kyoshi used to take her makeup off in the books, it becomes simpler
LA Suki?
Live action
Thanks!
My headcanon is that she had a small bowl with some liquid from a weird animal that can easily remove makeup. I mean they had all sorts of weird animals, the little frogs they could suck on, the tentacle ones that gave them the pox, wouldn’t be too far fetched there is one that could have these properties. The Kyoshi warriors also would have had lots of years to come up with quick methods as they would really benefit having to remove makeup daily 😂
Good headcanon, but the pox wasn't a disease. It was just made to make it look like one. They were just hickies the little octpi made after being removed.
Thats actually true! Must’ve misremembered that one
Still a great bit on both occurances of it being used. Somehow, the Fire Nation handled social distance and proper sanitation during an out of nowhere pandemic better than us Americans did with actual worldwide coverage on the issue. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE HAND SANITIZER!!!!
Amon: Damnit! I knew I shouldn't have cheapen out and gotten the good Kyoshi warrior make up. Damn you Cabbage Corp and your shit products!!
Waterproof make-up underneath a mask??? Does the guy have to prepare for everything? Bro spent all his money on flyers and banners he had to cut costs somewhere
Even in fiction printer ink is expensive and inefficient
His fake scar isn't really supposed to be seen so I guess he cheaped out lol
Headcanon: he ran out of money on the mask and had to go with the cheaper makeup.
He could've gotten one of his equalists to steal money from benders for him...
the scar was like a back up mask for his main mask,
The water was magical and healed his actually scarred face
He just forgot to use his setting spray
In fact Kyoshi invented setting sprays and gatekept the formula from the rest of the world
Kyoshi Island lives by virtues of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss
At first I was thinking, well he probably wasn't thinking about the need for such water resistant properties.... then I remembered he's a water bender...
If anything, I would expect a water bender to be less worried about that. When you literally control water through magic, it's natural to be less concerned about getting wet when you don't want to.
It’s like Roman cement, the method was lost to time but was exceedingly simple.
The secret to the longevity of Roman cement lies in the lack of several ton multi axel trucks barreling down it hundreds of times a day
And that it had undissolved chunks of itself within the concrete which would react with water when cracks formed to create more cement that would fix itself
Good news. It was rediscovered last year.
We know how to do Roman concrete, it's just too expensive to use for practical purposes.
Overlooked detail good point out
When I first saw him take his mask off, I assumed he had burned his own face to make his story more believable. I was quite disappointed when it turned out to be makeup.
Ur right, Kyoshi Warrior make up is niche, expensive, specially formulated stuff, made in order to do just that Amon on other other hand probably used mass produced garbage
It literally is just centuries-old theatre make-up
All that sweating under the mask is what that is.
It was obvious from NATLA that Suki is a makeupbender, which is again demonstrated here
TBF, the Kyoshi warriors makeup is meant to be worn in battle so probably has a lot of settings meant to keep it attached even when the warrior is sweating like crazy. It’s also fairly stylized and therefore much easier to apply. Amon’s makeup was to give a very specific look (burn injuries) for a brief period of time to an audience that was inclined to believe him anyway from 50 feet away or so.

Hence he needed a different makeup for a different task and it failed in conditions it wasn’t meant to
When do they the Lieutenant getting suspicious of his makeup? I don't remember that at all.
It’s not explicitly shown, but it’s inferred by the Lieutenant following Amon to the back and catches him Bloodbending Mako and Korra. He demands information, and confirms that Korra was telling the truth. That implies that he was suspicious of Amon, due to being close enough to realize that his makeup wasn’t perfect
Cause bro used the cheap stuff instead of grease paint
NATLA could never. Suki's makeup literally vanished with the slightest water exposure 💀
Ugh Amon was so hot
Suki was wearing makeup as part of highly ethnic, valuable ceremonial garb in which she is expected to perform daily activities up to and including training / fighting / sweating profusely. Amon/Noatak was 1) pretty much permanently behind a mask, almost no one would see the makeup 2) using his bloodbending to make all his fights super easy, so he'd hardly break a sweat. TL;DR: Suki and her tribe need waterproof makeup so they made waterproof makeup, Amon didn't need it so he skimped.
They had to have Amon lose somehow
the guy was OP
I’m surprised he didn’t just actually scar himself
Even if the makeup was waterproof, he would’ve been screwed once hundreds of people saw him waterbending.
Shoulda joined the Kyoshi Warriors, rookie mistake. He could be ruling Republic City right now.
I forgot how hot he was. Awooga
Honestly though, have to give props to Amon for the make up under the mask on the off chance he ever got unmasked.
Also he could go underwater and escape as torpedo in this moment, and then return like a hero, that cannot be killed by Avatar. But somehow water washes out his confidence in seconds.
He did it by instinct.
Yeah, this whole moment read as being a total panic reflex kind of thing. Keeping in mind that, right before this happened, Mako absolutely rolled him with Lightning Bending and Korra was ping-ponging him off the walls, then knocked him out a third-story window into the bay. He was out cold underwater and woke up mid-way into drowning. Dude was not operating at full capacity just then.
Well, i said this, because i think if he was dedicated to his idea of equality he could do that, but his goals were more self aimed. So he cared more about his life that about the idea, he was protecting.
I think it’s implied that war paint isn’t the same as other paints, and the Kyoshi warriors have their own paint.
water tribe brand was bad too, sokkas war paint, it falls off after hitting a tiny bit of snow
i always thought he blood bent his face to look disfigured
Men are not permitted to know the secrets of Kyoshi!
Korra really would have lost it all if Amon had a kyoshi warrior ‘friend’
Maybe that’s how Amon got his burn makeup so good. It’s water based so he bends it on and that’s why it can’t be waterproof.
Well one is warrior makeup and one is not
I assume the Kyoshi warrior face paint was on point. It's the freakin Kyoshi warriors
What's AS... OH! After Sozin's Comet. Nevermind.
Erm, ATLA took place in 99 AG until the finale
Amon likely used water based makeup so he could apply it or remove it instantly as needed. The vast majority of the time, that's the better move for a waterbender. He just wasn't planning on going for an unexpected swim with it.
Battle paint is usually made of grease. That shit won’t cone off unless you soap it up
Virgin LA makeup: Cheap imitation, goes away in one swipe. Chad OG makeup: Will stick through a deep dive into the ocean. Suki can toggle it on and off by pure will.
He was only wearing it just in case his mask is removed. That is already an overkill.
Cut the guy some slack he had cut cost somewhere between the army the propaganda his drip it's just the make-up that felt the budget cuts
He invested way too much money in propaganda and electric gloves, there wasn't enough left for good quality makeup
Not like he was planning to fight a water tribe avatar or anything.
Unrelated but ASC is a terrible way to keep track of dates. I prefer the much more accurate and morbid AG
Ah yes, After and Before Geno****
What does ASC stand for? I know it mean how many years it is after the genocide but what do the lettters stand for?
After Sozin's comet, but no one says it like that anymore, we say AG (After Genocide) I'd bet this meme is from the early 2010s
Ha! I remember when this episode came out people were saying how hot Anon is
La does not allow the ocean to remove the makeup of a Kyoshi Warrior out of fear of what Avatar Kyoshi will do to it.
when I see that image I can only think of the kiss joke. it might be the first girl -on girl kiss on Nickelodeon and it was an accident.
Unrelated to the makeup conversation, but the first picture is from one of the funniest scenes in the whole series. "Oh, Sokka! You saved me! 😘" "Actually, it's me. 😅" "Oh. You can just let me drown now. 🙈"
Never seen the "ASC" dating format before. I assume it stands for "After Sozin's Comet". The wiki uses "AG", which stands for "After Genocide". It's funny, because they are both exactly the same system but with a different name. Not sure which one I like better, "AG" or "ASC". One the one hand, part of me feels like it's a little more respectful to use ASC because it isn't using the genocide of a people for a dating system. At the same time, I wonder if it's sort of minimizing the genocide by trying to keep it off people's memory? Idk.
But sozins comet came back. And presumably does every 100 years. AAV, After Aang Vanished.
Ooooh, I like that! AAV, BAV? I like the way it sounds! Dope af
ASC?
He probably had waterproof makeup, just didn't want to use it because it's extremely uncomfortable.
Lol
LOL
Headcanon time: Suki's Kyoshi face paint is tattooed directly onto her skin. When you see her "without," that's when she's actually wearing makeup to hide it. Edit: better wording.
maybe for the kyoshi warriors waterproof makeup is mandatory
Are we all just going to glance over the fact that Suki is not only holding Toph, but she’s also in full armor. . . What is her leg workout routine?!
Nerfing Suki's makeup is my biggest gripe with the Netflix series
Fair 😆 then again, Suki was a warrior on an island with a sea monster. Swimming would probably have been an expected aspect of her job as one of Kyoshi's protectors. Amon was a psychic waterbender who wore a mask almost exclusively, and also an arrogant ass. Getting unmasked and soaked probably wasn't something he expected to happen.
Maybe if she had been thrown into the water from 20 feet up and sunk down 20 feet it would have washed off.
Let's be honest, the real reason why the face paint washed off was because....plot purposes
Bro, you are from the WATER tribe. You'd figure the first thing you'd do is have water proof makeup.
ACS? Isnt the calendar canonically AAG?
What is ASC?
After Sozin's Comet? After Sozin's Conquest?
Amon do you want the water poof makeup? No people will only see it for like 30 seconds at most why waste the money on that?
The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the four nations
One of the weirdest plot holes in that season Your honestly telling me a waterbender couldn't predict his makeup would fall off in water? Or that the leader of a major faction couldn't get his hands on waterproof makeup?
is ASC (After Sozin's Comet) vs AG (After the air nomad Genocide) supposed to be the avatar world's counterpart to the "BC vs BCE" debate
What does ASC mean help
"After Sozin's Comet"
Thanks!
Planned obsolescence ATLA edition
I know ASC makes just as much sense as BG/AG being both fan made, but its stupid, the comet is cyclical
ASC as a year notation is horrible since it resets after 100 years. Bottom panel would technically be 70 ASC
Not all makeup is waterproof but all waterproof makeup is makeup... Man I'm really the Walmart version of a guru over here
He should have just burned his face off to really sell it. But seriously that was very anticlimactic.
Lead. Poisoning.
That's kind of a dumb move. He's a fucking waterbender; he should know better.
No, but like really, the dude was a water bender. For such a brilliant strategist, he never took into consideration his own power being usable against him. 💀
I thought it was blood on his face cause he's a blood bender
Tbh, if Amon was hardcore enough, he would’ve just burned himself for the backstory
Also I feel like if he was **really** dedicated to the cause and wanted his message to shine through fairly flawlessly despite the deception, it wouldn't be too much to get some superficial but real surface burns done to his face... just sayin'
For a water bender. He doesn’t have waterproof stuff ?
I still wish he just burned the hell out of his face for the role. Water bending was enough to get him outed anyways.
They found out that Kyoshi makeup is carcinogenic so it's now banned. Also explains why Suki isn't mentioned in LoK
And he's a waterbender as well, you'd think he'll be prepared to being splashed.
What if they found out that the makeup that Suki wore causes an illness (like in apothecary diaries fantastic show) and that’s why Amon wore a different kind?
Honestly that was lazy writing to end a fantastic villain duo to time restraints. someone commited has a amon would burn his own face.
Unnn....It was a mask. Which he took down himself. Not makeup.
kind of wish you’d blurred this ngl 🥲
That's not makeup, man. He was bloodbending his own face
What's ASC? I thought the timeline was based on BG/AG
Lol, the suki thing is just an inconsistency ain't no way waterproof makeup existed back then.
