thought about the Katara v Pakku fight too hard and made myself cry

the firebending masters is a good episode but as a jeong jeong fan i resent it a little bc if anyone talks about jeong jeong at all it's usually to say that he was wrong and needs to see the dragons and like, i don't think it would hurt but imo jeong jeong's problem is less what he believes about firebending and more how he feels about firebending. he's taken his feelings of guilt over what he and others have done with firebending and decided that's the truth. he feels cursed, ergo he is cursed. just straight-up refuting his beliefs, letting him know that firebending in its original form was not meant to be destructive, certainly wouldn't be a bad thing, but it wouldn't get at the underlying issue and i don't like the way it's presented as a he's wrong they're right instant fix

ENOUGH ABOUT BOOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE FUCKING COMET IS COMING

Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.

Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.

He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.

And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.

Loserlord indeed

bryke once said that the importance of zuko asking ozai “where is my mother” at the end of the series was not that this was a mystery which they ever intended on solving, but rather that it was an indication of the reversal of power dynamics between the two of them. it was to show that zuko was no longer afraid of ozai and could no longer be manipulated by him. the answer does not matter! and in fact if you continue that logic back to the last time this question came up in the day of black sun, we see ozai dangling the thought of ursa in front of zuko SPECIFICALLY in order to manipulate him and keep him there. the idea that ursa was alive was something he said to make sure zuko didn’t move until the eclipse ended and ozai could kill him

if that moment was solely about manipulation, as the reversal is used to indicate that zuko can No Longer be manipulated, then the textual evidence really strong suggests that no, ursa is not alive. ozai was lying to him. he was manipulating him. the search is a retcon

sometimes i forget not everybody has queer headcanons like "suyin couldn't be sokka's daughter bc sokka wouldn't be a deadbeat dad" yeah but also toph is a dyke. this is just a plainly obvious fact to me. she canonically has a lil crush on sokka but if you're a twelve year old lesbian who doesn't know that yet you might assign yourself a crush on the cute kinda-queer slightly older guy in your friend group. like that's a thing that could reasonably happen. back in the subaru type crush. you know

500th artist on Earth to draw dragon Zuko but can I also offer you some Tizheruk/water dragon Katara in these trying times .. ?

i love this stupid little lampshading that no longer makes any sense because no one these days is watching atla with ad breaks

somebody tagged one of my piandao posts with "the dad who stepped up" and yes he did but to me that honored title will forever be bato's for taking them ice dodging. literally their stepdad who stepped up. sokka and katara get him that shirt in a modern au and hakoda is only a little offended

The world needs more Yue and Zuko friendship, I squeal just thinking abt the parallels. They deserve a life changing field trip together and if u have abt ideas I’m all ears 👀

Hiii anon this ask fermented in my inbox and in my brain for so long,, so take this??? Post canon yue lives/no war au arts?? Anyway aside from the Parallels and their political position & their duty before hoes grindset I think they could learn a lot from each other. With zuko learning the gift of patience & diplomacy from yue & Yue learning that allowing yourself to feel anger and speaking up can actually be Good.

anyway hypothetical life changing trip outcome: zuko takes an intro gender studies class and yue says fuck

(oh and also must not forget the crush on sokka)

I keep trying to upload Iroh holding blunt trans rights but Tumblr won't let me
