I'm incredibly disappointed to see Eric Nam being cast as Aang in the upcoming adult atla movie. To have a fucking zionist perform the role of a genocide survivor is just disgusting, i don't even have the words to describe how foul it is.
Also, why is Dante Basco still there? Everyone's gonna sound like an adult except Zuko with his perpetual hormonal teenager voice.
can i be real with you guys for a second. do i have permission to speak my truth without being flayed alive. just for a moment. the way many of you talk about zuka makes me think you guys don’t actually enjoy their relationship. people will be like “oh i love how it’s grumpy x sunshine because zuko is a little grouchy grouch and sokka is funny and flirty and bubbly” and i’m just like……. in what world?????????? i don’t think you guys ship zuck actually i think you guys just wish you could ship zukang without being perceived as weird for age gap reasons. but in no world is zucchini a ship wherein sokka is emotionally uplifting zuko thru the power of love and friendship. they’re literally both suicidal freaks. and yet people love making them not only as boring as possible, but also giving sokka a personality transplant (aang’s personality, to be specific) because they hate the source material or they just see conventionally attractive teenage boys and black out or who knows what. but it’s okay you guys can just ship zukang if that’s really what you want out of their dynamic. i won’t judge
I love Jianzhu's "I visited consequences upon them" and Kyoshi's "What will you do now? Knowing that your every step will have consequences?". I love Kyoshi showing mercy only to tell herself "No more exceptions for today". I love Kyoshi getting involved for innocent's sake minutes later only to be hated by them. I love Kyoshi hating herself for using Jianzhu's techniques knowing exactly what it felt like to die slowly as your lungs caved in on themselves. I love Kyoshi caring more for an innocent's life than Fire Lord's. I love Kyoshi sacrificing innocents to prevent a war for Fire Lord's sake. I love Kyoshi telling Hei-Ran she'd kill Jianzhu in front of Fire Nation's nobility. I love Kyoshi telling Yun killing Jianzhu didn't bring her peace. I love Kyoshi using the Avatar state to heal Rangi instead of giving in to the power capable of obliterating the world in her grief. I love Kyoshi making a choice to heal instead of destroy.
I love how Kyoshi's original perception of justice was born out of fear of Jianzhu. I love how easily Kyoshi was capable of slipping into his sense of justice. I love Kyoshi despising Tagaka, Xu Ping An, and daofei. I love Kyoshi wearing daofei makeup and being loyal to her sworn brothers and sisters. I love Lao Ge telling Kyoshi she could protect herself from her duty by applying a strict rule of always showing mercy or punishing. I love Lek's story about his brother being killed to uphold the law even when it meant nothing in the end. I love Tieguai's warning that approaching justice in a case-by-case manner will scar and wear on Kyoshi. I love Kyoshi keeping to gain more and more scars. I love Kyoshi finally moving on from the past even when it hurts. I love the consequences of Yun being incapable of doing so. I love Kuruk's tragedy caused by Yangchen's mistakes. I love Yangchen teaching Kyoshi to accept her choices as her own and not seek approval. I love Kyoshi embracing her dreadful reputation to protect those who might despise her to the very end of her days.
I love how everyone's choices and consequences matter in Kyoshi's story.
I love how the very last words about Kyoshi in the books sound "She still had to be careful not to lose her balance and fall. Kyoshi kept her eyes focused on her difficult path, sometimes stumbling but making sure to catch herself, taking one step at a time."
Since we were robbed of an older Sokka in Legend of Korra and the relationships he might have had with those characters, allow me to imagine him taking all the available grandkids on their first SWT hunt. Even the littlest one, a stubborn firebender who absolutely insisted that he not be left behind this time. He can do it. He can.
Better keep up, Iroh.
Thank you as always to the talented @jasminedragonart for the commission!
