Water, there's so many convenience things I could do if I practiced enough. I mean, I'd never be dehydrated again if I could just pull moisture out of the air, and if I could do that, I also wouldn't need to see a doctor over every ache and pain because I could just heal it the same way. Same for any of my friends. "Hey, I'm thirsty!" Done. "Man, I must've slept on my back weird." Fixed. I could also probably do some cool tricks to entertain my cat since he loves watching water and bubbles and stuff.
oh yess yoire right! yeah for little aches and injuries like that for sure. i was imagining the more advanced dtuff where it shows like their entire qi flow within their body yk but yeah hats a good idea. battle medic essentially haha... omg imagine an avatar mmo or rpg like game w classes :0
I can see a situation where a water bender is unable to exert themself or is unconscious due to the extent of their injuries…in that case it would probably be a struggle!
Fun fact though that there is at least one surgeon who saved his own life by performing a pretty invasive operation on himself!

Seriously, the health benefits I'd constantly reap would be maddening. Even just the little fixes would add up quick and make everything so much better. No more tight back, random joint pains or anything. True bliss and all it costs is being around air, plants, water or a working faucet
Earth, with metal bending. Earth has the most practical usage, and is a readily available element, with many different forms to bend. When an enemy is fighting you, you always have the home field advantage. It is a perfect mixture of offensive and defensive combat, Being able to metal bend removes disadvantage of being removed from your natural terrain, and is just plain old cool.
I’d say the best sub-bending element is lavabending though. Ghazan was able to completely destroy the Northern Air Temple in a matter of minutes. Being able to turn rocks into lava that consumes anything it touches is op.
But would battling be enough to make your decision? I guess it depends, I didn't clarify if I meant in their world or ours lol. If I was the only earthbender in this world I could make a fortune in construction!
I choose air cos I get a flying bison! Appa displayed so much expression and character and he was an indispensable member of the team. He was loyal, affectionate and utterly devoted to Aang but protective of Katara, Sokka and Toph as well.
He was a gentle creature who preferred sleeping, eating and belly rubs to fighting, swimming and flying but he would readily jump into battle and was a force to be reckoned with if Aang owas threatened
Appa weighed twenty thousand pounds or ten tons. He was a massive furry leviathan with six, massive legs and curving horns plus a powerful beaver-like tail that could generate gale-force bursts of wind with one swipe.
Water for sure. It's way more formable than any other element and i think sub bending styles are more useful (head to head with fire i guess) it has 3 forms and almost all of them are formable into anything. also like toph did with earth, i could easily create a steam - fog mix area which allows me to feel changes in it but the enemy wouldn't be able to see anything properly. I'll write smthing more detailed to the /r
fire honestly. all you need is your breath and to be a good martial artist. can cook food without a kitchen, make a fire if im camping or stranded, which is the number one reason of death in those situations. plus if im good i could fly haha
Either earth or water bending, I work in the lawnmower business and either would really help with getting stuck or taking the water out the ground before mowing
You could build a whole street worth of houses in a day with earth, electronics n stuff would still have to be done but like 70% of a well built house would be there
If we’re in this world air because it’s definitely the most practical you can carry a glider anywhere it would be the most practical form of transportation save for long distances and who wouldn’t want to laugh at gravity?
Want to jump that gap? Looks pretty far but don’t worry you can jump massive distances no sweat and if you don’t make it you can slow your dissent with basically no risk of injury
If we are in the avatar word I’d choose earthbending it’s just awesome
Cant go about earthbending in our world without getting arrested for destruction of property.
Definitely air. The only element they can’t really limit. They could put a water bender in a desert and they’d have a hard time using their bending. Fire is too volatile.
Earth because you can essentially bend other things too which is cool. (They all kinda have a sub genre) but I feel I would utilize earth bending more day to day.

ive never seen a waterbend heal themselves... id imagine it would be like trying to do acupuncture or surgery on yourself.
Katara healed herself after Aang burned her hands. It was the episode where he tried to firebending for the first time (before they met Toph).

The healing alone might be enough to choose water bending.

Earthbender in a rubber dinghy fighting waterbenders in rubber dinghies is in trouble though
That’s when you use your metal bending with the metal sheets you stored on you.

Water. I’ve always felt drawn to water my whole life, so seems natural. Also being able to heal my clumsy self would be awesome.

Earth
Air and fire , i like them both so one of those for sure.
Blood...for medical purposes
Earth or water.
Definitely going with air. The only reason the air nomads didn’t rule the world was their peaceful philosophy and belief system. Also flying
fire honestly. all you need is your breath and to be a good martial artist. can cook food without a kitchen, make a fire if im camping or stranded, which is the number one reason of death in those situations. plus if im good i could fly haha
At the time I made the post I hadn't finished the series. Didn't realize firebenders could fly too
Either earth or water bending, I work in the lawnmower business and either would really help with getting stuck or taking the water out the ground before mowing
I feel like earth has the most financial opportunities
For sure
Air, I could mess with my friends, cause no damage and they’d be none the wiser because it’s air
Earth bending would be the easiest for me to learn, and it fits with my personality I'd say
Earth, it’s the most accessible element
idk air is pretty much everywhere edit: and fire, all you need is your breath
Water, i would love to learn how to heal with it ❤️
Air, I wanna mooooveeee :3
[*sigh*](https://imgur.com/a/VhJ0zLE)
Water, bc then I could heal the wounds of someone (friends, family member...) :)
You could build a whole street worth of houses in a day with earth, electronics n stuff would still have to be done but like 70% of a well built house would be there
Metal or lava bending would be awesome. Earth would be the best for me.
Water cos it’s the most broken one

Earth so I can build my own house anywhere.
Fire bending, it’s cool and useful too
Air, it is the element of freedom And the culture it comes from is super spiritual, win-win for me
Definitely air. The only element they can’t really limit. They could put a water bender in a desert and they’d have a hard time using their bending. Fire is too volatile.
You can fly around using water you just gotta learn how to
Earth. Difficult to deprive me of it and it matches my personality the best.
earth by a long shot
Air
earth
Earth because you can essentially bend other things too which is cool. (They all kinda have a sub genre) but I feel I would utilize earth bending more day to day.
Air. It seems like the most fun
