or anything else? Sorry about the messy WIP and bad quality; first time posting off of a drawing tablet. I plan to fix the ear and spiky mohawk later. Also does she look wolf like? - I'm looking to add sharpness to her design; where else can I?

Hi, I'm a writer, and I got a Gmail saying my Dropbox transfer will expire. I own these files, and I'd like to keep online copies of them to transfer to other devices in case something happens to my PC. Will I still be able to download it or put it on other devices in any way if the transfer link expires? The answers on the website aren't very clear on this. Thank you.
Hello, I use LibreOffice to write and save it on Ellipsus for an online backup incase my computer is damaged. However, it's very annoying to adjust my formatting between these two things if I ever want to edit one version and demotivates me to writer. Basically, all of my paragraphs, font, line space, etc. are removed.
Is there another online option that is free (not Google Docs because it once locked me out) to save my work? Something where my work won't be stolen by AI?
Everything everyone mentions doesn't make any sense to me. I'd just like a way to have an online backup of my story, basically, but I don't want to adjust the format so much. Something that works with LibreOffice formatting please.
If you have any other advice on how to easily save my work, please let me know.

I don't care about the differences between jeans and pants, and I don't care whether sweatpants or leggings are considered pants or not; I hate all em of except for snow pants, but even then, they can be too bulky, slow, and itch in the wrong areas. But without further ado:
Pants are the worst things we need to put on our legs.
As a kid, I dreaded every single fall where I was forced to wear these things. They would itch everywhere on my legs and rear constantly, and sitting only made them both cold and made the itch worse. I had to stand to be able to bear wearing them, and teachers would yell at me even if I was standing in the very back of the room. One threatened to call my parents only to get told by my mom that I'm doing nothing wrong, despite the fact I explained my situation, and then she got all sorry.
I would hate recess during the winter, and sit there stiff, itchy, and even cold (because they genuinely provided no warmth anyways; I'll get back to this point later). I would take them off after and change right back into my dresses and skirts. Every single day some idiot would annoy me with the same questions of why I wore snow pants and skirts and dresses like I didn't explain 20 times I don't want to go through the 80 different types of pants when I already tried sweatpants, leggings, etc.
"Why doesn't the 5 year old know the science behind why pants itch her?" The doctors just sat around going "hurr durr we don't know how to help", and teachers kept sending me to the nurse who made me put on lotion that somehow made them even more stiff and uncomfortable when I put the pants back on. My dad threatened I would be sent to some sort of mental hospital and strapped down with duck taped pants on me if I didn't learn how to wear them all the time. And I was forced to wear them for entire seasons, but I never "broke into them". They kept itching.
The moment I was old enough to decide what I wore, I decided I'd rather wear skirts and dresses. I didn't care if I was cold. They felt better. I slipped on a pair of shorts underneath, and I was fine. Variety of styles and colors, comfortable... and I did this all the way through highschool, only wearing snow pants during the coldest weather.
Then I became an adult and had to get a job. I tried a few pairs of pants, and gladly, while they weren't as bad as when I was a child, they still felt strange. I got a job lifting heavy objects, kneeling on floors, being around things that can splinter and cut... so I had to wear them. I got cotton pairs that were the only kind I could bear wearing.
Here's where my numerous other issues come in.
They still itch around the rear once in awhile. Not too bad, but annoying. They're annoying to get on and off. If you need to go to the bathroom, you need to mess around with them and then find the perfect position in your belt to put them on again. If you want to sit, no matter how loose they are, the belt digs in. I get digestive issues since I started wearing them, and I think it's because the only way to avoid showing my underwear is to keep them on tight enough where they clench my waist when I sit.
If they get a tear, you need an uncomfortable patch that feels like plaster and makes the area stiffer. And of course it's on the knees, so you need that unless you want your bare knee on the ground.
Oh, you thought I'm warmer now? No, it's actually worse. The cold penetrates the pants and in turn makes them cold, so it's like my legs are in ice water instead of my skirt acting as a blanket against the cold. If I wore a really long dress. I'd be warmer. I tried thicker pants; they felt like sandpaper, and I could barely move in them. I need to be bending down and reaching high; I can't wear these. And sometimes companies who make comfortable pants just stop selling them, so you need to go through the 20 different pieces of flattened cardboard on the website and waste money to try them.
During the summer, they cook me alive. They get so sweaty that they become like cling wrap, and it makes going to the bathroom even more annoying because I can't get them back on. They start chafing my thighs and leave red, burning marks. Thighs rub together even in skirts, but with pants, the fabric causes more irritation. I never recalled my legs burning after wearing a skirt or dress.
Almost every single job has some stupid uniform where pants are required, especially black pants during the summer. And I get why. But some jobs I wonder if they actually do require it? I wondered this when I wanted to become a dog groomer (which I don't want anymore due to losing interest in the idea and pursuing writing). "A dog could nose up your skirt" I heard before. Then why can't I just... wear shorts underneath? Our female ancestors wore skirts while doing everything with animals, even grooming dogs I believe? Correct me if I'm wrong. I'd rather my legs get wet than have to wear soggy, dirty wet pants. Though ig their pants are waterproof anyways.
Either way, it doesn't matter. Pants suck. The worst culprits are these sandpaper blue ones with the stiff waist. Get out of my life.
Pavi being the newest avatar with two other avatar series, multiple comics, and other side stories makes standing out incredibly important for her; we need her distinct enough for a new story to be told.
So, what should Pavi be like?
In my opinion, I think Pavi should be shy, precise, and covert, but still stubborn and a bit of a rascal like Toph. Her design, expression, and pose already seem to suggest she may be shy (something about her eyes especially), so kudos to whoever designed her and drew her if that was the intention. Shy protagonists are a hit or miss imo, but they can do it without making her passive.
Make her struggle more than Aang and Korra to gain allies; both of them didn't have too many issues socially. Aang was playful and friendly, and Korra never backed down from speaking her mind. In a world where the Avatar is disliked, Pavi dealing with this loneliness and being more cautious with people makes sense and would possibly make it more difficult to connect with her sister. She also already has lost a leg.
And talking about people disliking the Avatar, again, her being covert makes sense. This can play into her fighting style; she can focus on sneak attacks. For fight scenes where she's in the open, she can use things like sand and glass to hide herself from view and strike enemies from behind. This also would make her a unique earthbender compared to what we've already seen. She can still be really good, but not exactly like Toph.
Her being stubborn of course is still necessary, and being mischievous would be fun.
I think she should also know quite a bit about technology around her, maybe even know how to make a few basic things. Yes it's an apocalyptic scenario, but I still imagine that some mechanics and remnants of the city would exist. Maybe even underground or something.
Another thing, I wonder if she'll be a bit more misguided? In the conflict between humans and spirits, will she take the wrong side and end up causing more harm at first before understanding? Not necessarily evil, but with no past avatars to go off off besides Korra, many people against her, she has more of a chance to make very big mistakes. I think this would be realistic in her setting and again, make her stand out.
Side note, sorry if I got some things wrong; I didn't finish LOK.
PAKKU! Yes he treated Katara badly at first, but he improved in that area and trained her. His real evil is REFUSING TO HUG SOKKA! How could you see his face and his pure excitement to have a new grandpa and push him away? Completely heartless.
And just look at that nasty frown directed at him. What did Sokka do to deserve such spite? :c
