One thing I would do is use my water bending powers to open a house painting business (interior/exterior and cabinets). I would promise completely perfect results in 1 day or less with the caveat that the customer cannot be home for 'safety' reasons. Oh! I could partner with an air bender and we could have places completely painted, not a drop spilled, and completely dry in 1 hour or less. Without even over charging people we could do so much volume we'd make bank!
I may or may not be painting right now and hating reality.
That only works for water based paints. What would you do when the customer want oil based paint to be used?
Oil benders are only rare because of the fire nation.
Is it only water specifically?
Couldnt it also apply to oil because it's fluid based?
Exactly what a bender can bend has been talked to death through out the years but I don't think a water bender can bend oil. An earth bender can bend lava, a fluid. A water bender can bend ice, a solid.
I feel like this is a very philosophical question. Like Toph bended metal, but metal is but one component of earth. Water and oil donβt mix unless under certain circumstances and oil isnβt recognized as being a part of water.
Toph can only bend metal due to the impurities in it; highly purified titanium can't be metalbent
Fire nation: Write that down WRITE THAT DOWN
Hm. I think we'd just have to specify our special and unique process only works with water-based paints and primers. Could get away with the hybrid paints though and I think there's good enough hybrid primers to make it work.
