one of the theories I’ve seen about Amon’s energy bending/lack thereof just triggered a panic response in me
joy of joys
(someone mentioned the idea of his using the chakra associated with anxiety/insomnia/depression to lock away people’s bending, so the more scared they got, the more solidly their bending would be locked away, and he would essentially be locking away their ability to be calm, putting them in a permanent state of anxiety. LIKE TAKING BENDING AWAY WASN’T SCARY ENOUGH OKAY THANKS HOW MANY OF MY “ABJECT TERROR” BUTTONS CAN ONE THEORY HIT)
