#--; what a random trauma i added ontop of their already traumatic childhoods

[llimerrence]

thinking about how Zuko, Azula, Ty-lee, and Mai had a young playmate that they believed died. like. It probably wasn't the most notable event of their childhoods but like, they were just kids (10 or younger) and casually were told "oh hey, yeah, that girl that sometimes hangs around u? Yeah, she got sick and died." And that same girl just randomly shows back up almost 10 years later perfectly fine, and oh yeah she's an airbender lol like

i know that none of them probably cared that much, but thats kinda fucked up right

#about; || aura; #--; i always just gloss over it but like #--; z was 10 and a zula was 8 #--; and they were already p fucked up but like still #--; like i remember a kid dying in the nearby school and i hadnt ever even met them #--; but that news still shook me as a kid because like what do you mean that person i knew thru friends casually just gone??? #--; and the implication of a's backstory is that she did play with them sometimes #--; so like even if she wasnt their closest friend or anything #--; they probably remembered her existence at least #--; and they 1000% saw her siblings around #--; and like i just. #--; what a random trauma i added ontop of their already traumatic childhoods
