> be zuko

> try desperately to ingratiate yourself within the avatar’s friend group (to no avail, of course, because you have terrible social skills, and previously tried to kill them, also)

> try to fight off the human wmd you previously hired to blow them all up

> fail miserably, because he is indestructible

> watch as sokka effortlessly kills him with a very precise boomerang throw to the brain

> suddenly recall every single time you got hit in the head by his boomerang

> feel immense gratitude for what you had previously dismissed as uncle’s obnoxiously stringent and paranoid over-emphasis on the importance of helmet safety

#zuko #sokka #combustion man #iroh #sokka could’ve taken down all of unanimity with his boomerang #he and yangchen would’ve been the fucking dream team fr #altho i guess jujinta also has rly precise aim so he basically fulfills that role #but like. sokka has precise aim AND everything else kavik has (except for waterbending but like. he doesn’t even need it) #anyway. these tags are not relevant to the post at all #also i think zuko would like the helmet bc a) they’re regulation so he feels more militaristic in them and b) they cover his scar #but for the purposes of this joke of he hates the way they compress on his skull and he also whines before iroh makes him put it on #honestly both are equally plausible to me #so let’s just say it’s a combination thereof

i feel like we as a fandom don’t talk about the fact that sokka literally killed combustion man enough.

Yknow, i'm rewatching atla after reading the yangchen novels, and I really appreciate the small meaning behind some things a lot more now. In s3 e11 The Western Air Temple, combustion man shows up and wrecks the place. I always found this sad because the preservation of air nomad culture and architecture was something shown many times to be important to Aang, so the temple being destroyed is really tragic in that way. But also, Yangchen is a western air temple nun. And we can see statues of her there in the episode. So reading the novels and then seeing how her statue is focused on more at the western than any other is a nice touch that shows how much detail the og show had in it. These little nods to what eventually would become lore is amazing.

But as much awe as it inspires, theres symbolism without (imo) even trying to be. In the Yangchen novels, combustion bending is seen for the first time in the atla world, it was written as the biggest plot point and the worldwide threat of the novels. And we see Yangchen and her struggle against it. Things like Nujians death, Yangchens banishment, all of her struggles in the novels are some sort of result from her dealing with combustion benders. And she is from the western air temple. Which is salt in a centuries old wound. Yangchen, an air nomad, a pacifist by culture, who worked so hard to avoid taking lives when she was able, who lost so much because of combustion bending as a technique, who came from the western air temple,

Her home, was destroyed

By the very

Technique

That cost her so much already.

I'm the one ATLA fan who wants Netflix ATLA's writers to be like: "Hey, what was Combustion Man up to before Zuko hired him to kill Aang?"

#atla #avatar the last airbender #natla #netflix atla #netflix avatar the last airbender #combustion man #maybe he was painting the portrait of a bird and Zuko just interrupted him #his name is obviously Jorge #“it's not Jorge” #yes it is i just decided

Combustion man: *Attacking*

Zuko: Why won't he stop?! I called off the mission!

Aang: Maybe because of the first name we called him.

Sokka, yelling: Sorry for calling you Sparky Sparky Boom man and laughing!

Aang: You’re more than the villain of the week!

Sokka: No one here thinks you're a joke!

Zuko, panicking: I'm against comedy!

Barges in. Bends without bending. Refuses to elaborate. Dies.

This guy was so hot, and for what?
