Watching ATLA rn, I feel people are sleeping on Zuko's comedic potential as 01 ANGSTY DEADPAN EMOBOY (TM).

🤣

Tbh Sokka is awesome (love him, he's funny in a different way, he knows he is), but Zuko...He fucking told turtle seals (or so I guess?) To "be quiet" in ep 18, B1. 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm hollering.

Btw, screw Hahn. I think this is an excellent example of villains that keep you interested (Sifu Hotpants Zukes) vs annoying ones you jusr want to disappear off the face of earth (Hahn).

On a moral scale, Hahn while an asshole and an overall PITA to be around (classist, misogynistic, bratty) is not comparable to Zuko who is trying to catch the world's last hope and working for an evil super powered genocidal empire 🙃, BUT Hahn's cardinal sin is how boring and vain he is + his brand of evil feels more relatable for us viewers and he has no sob story to justify his actions, I guess.

I really feel for poor Sokka having had to work with that moron.

Wait, what’s going on with Embers???? That fic has been on my read later list since 2021, what’s happened with it???

Brief overview, then I'm likely never touching this topic again, because this is not a Drama Blog:

Context: Embers is a super old AtLA fic that was written during the early fandom days, read widely at the time, and was the origin of the widely-used fanon name of "Wani" for Zuko's ship (kind of by default that it was one of the first popular fics to give his ship a name, I think?), even though most fic writers don't seem to realize it's from there anymore.

"What's Going On": I used to include a link in all my stories to it, because I believe in crediting other writers for borrowed elements, and I was using "Wani" in all my fics. But BOY did I not want to be sending readers that way anymore, so I've adopted a new name for Zuko's ship, and removed all Embers links.

None of the criticisms about Embers itself are new; I'm assuming they date back to when the fic was being written, because this isn't an "it aged badly" thing, this is an "actually yeah this gets worse the longer you think about it and I shouldn't have ignored my bad feelings just because some of the worldbuilding was interesting" thing.

An Incomplete List of Why I Made the Change:

I don't actually like the story that much anymore, and don't want to rec it

I tried to re-read it recently to see if some things were as bad as I remembered and it turns out they were So Much Worse Oh Yikes. More specifically, the treatment of Katara and Aang and their respective cultures has... rather a lot going on. One example: The Fire Nation and Air Nomads are both given multiple backstory elements in an attempt to make the average Fire Nation soldier's participation in the genocide/war in large part the fault of the Avatar and the Air Nomads themselves, and also fully justified from the Fire Nation perspective. And I do mean fully. One of its core tenants is "People from the Fire Nation (and only people from the Fire Nation) who don't follow orders Literally Die, therefore murdering pacifists and babies and continuing the war (and their regularly scheduled war crimes) is the only thing it is physically possible for them to do". I cannot emphasize enough how literal that is.

Also the name "Wani" means "Alligator" and is... objectively a pretty lame name for Zuko's ship? Where's the personality, where's the deeper meaning, where's the resonance with Zuko's themes? @tuktukpodfics initially thought I was calling the ship "Wanyi", and that's what I've switched to, because it is Objectively So Much Better. In their words: “Wànyī (萬一): Literally ‘one in ten thousand,’ ‘perchance.’ Used grammatically in Chinese to mean ‘what if’ or ‘just in case.’ I think a ship called ‘The Perchance’ is perfect for a boy clinging to false hope.”

TL:DR; I don't rec Embers anymore, because I don't actually like the story anymore, and there are things about it that get worse the more I think on them. I've removed links to it and renamed Zuko's ship to "Wanyi" ("The Perchance") because our boy deserves a ship name that reflects his character arc.

#for the record if you ever find something kind of rancid in my fics #do please let me know #EX: I've rewritten scenes to be better Actual Blind Rep for Toph based on blind reader feedback #and I'm debating how hard it would be to ignore/re-write the canon issues of Water Tribe sexism (for the Southern Tribe at the least) #because that is a common complaint I see from the people who's RL cultures the Water Tribes was based on #probably I can do more interesting things with that going forward #in other words justice for Hama and Hahn #at least the show itself made Hama excellently complex #anyways back to doing actual writing #please no follow up questions #though I will say anyone who wants to update their own fics to use Wanyi (or any other name): go for it! #all you need to do is plop your chapters in a word editor and find/replace the ship name! it took about 40 minutes to do literally #all of my fics and I had some other editing to do besides! it'll be even quicker for you! #let's sink the Wani #avatar the last airbender #atla #Zuko

Sokka talking to Princess Yue: I’m just a simple peasant from the Southern Water Tribe. I literally grew up in a block of ice. I understand why you wouldn’t wanna go out with a guy like me

Hahn: you’re just a peasant from the water tribe, huh?

Sokka: well FUCK you

[momos-servants]

As someone who really loves to write/read Hahn as a bad guy… I really LOVE how the live action portrayed him. They gave Hahn and Sokka a friendship more than A rivalry, which is unexpected but I actually didn’t mind at all??? Hahn actually helped Sokka grow into a more confident warrior??? Idk what it was but I am HERE FOR IT

#like geez I ship Zukka #but Hahn x Sokka not looking too bad rn #which is CRAZY cuz I love writing Hahn as the villain in my stories #live action Hahn> cartoon Hahn sorrryyyy #avatar the last airbender #netflix atla #avatar netflix

[sockfus]

still thinking abt the toxic jetko thing but like the abusive ex jet trope is SO overdone so boring. what if zuko was the toxic one 🤨 what if they were both mutually toxic. justice for jet he deserves better than this. let them both be assholes

#or see: other potentially toxic ships #sokka/hahn. azula/literally everyone #i digress #sophia.txt #atla #jetko #btw this is not jetko hate i love them i am just a bit bored of that trope #jet #zuko

[kyshiwarrior]

has anyone brought up how great it was for them to change hahn??? i didnt have that on my list of things i needed necessarily but it was so refreshing and touching. i loved the lack of miscommunication and love triangle tropes because you actually dont need them for a good story or root for characters. but the fact that they changed him to not be an ignorant jerk to someone i could actually see getting approval as a leader. hes honorable through and through. it made his ending tragic, as it should be in cases of young people joining a war because they had no choice. i went from being like ‘oop thats what you get’ to leading into such devastation that added to the northern water tribe tragedy. i loved that change.

#hahn #northern water tribe #atla liveaction spoilers #atla liveaction #atla #avatar #i saw someone emphasize it elevated sokka as a leader by his knowledge #love the lack of toxic masculinity where he was OPEN MINDED and could ask for help #and sokka still came out on top #friendship over rivalry in high stakes is the way

[asongofstarkandtargaryen]

In the live action, Hahn seemed to be into Sokka. Like, he wouldn't be against dating both Yue and Sokka. See? That's how love triangles are solved.

hahn: mispronounces sokka's name

Joel Oulette (Hahn) on Instagram, 28 or 29th March 2024 (depending the timezone you live in).

He and Maria Zhang ended up being the showstealers among the supporting cast to me. Maria's getting a lot of love, and deservedly so. I've seen less love for Joel (and he doesn't seem very active on social media), so when I saw that he'd posted an ATLA instagram story, I had to get a screenshot.

Dude's talented. Hope he goes far.

Here's a short article about his involvement in the series.
