OKAY, OKAY, i know that wwx was never a villain, but just... just imagine... revived!wwx in his own body with this song.
[SCREAMS INTO A PILLOW]
okay, back to imagining-
imagine an au where wwx noticed he had feelings for lwj in the wen indoctrination confessed to him at the xuanwu cave because, you know, he thought they were going to die and he refused to die without confessing. the thing is, because he already knew he was in love with wwx, lwj confesses back. they kiss, have some sweet momments and shit. after being found and saved by jwy they decide to begin a relationship, but keep it a secret. the only people that knew were lxc and jyl, and they only knew because they discovered it themselves.
but then, the fall of lotus pier happens, then there's the sunshot campaign and all of the other shits. except that wangxian actually communicate and there's no romantic angst because i said so-
then wwx saves the wens, and lwj wants to follow him, but wwx convices him to stay in gusu with his family and that him and the wens would be fine, so lwj does not go live in the burial mounds [unfortunately], but he visits every time he can make an excuse to go close to yiling [i.e.: at least obce a week], so wangxian get to be little a'yuan's parents.
then there's jzx dies and everything goes to shit like in canon. there's the nightless city battle, jyl's death, lwj saves and hides wwx, lwj refuses to give wwx to his sect, fights the elders and is whipped 33 times. except that he does not survive. as soon as the last lash hits lwj's back, he falls to the ground, and his heart stops.
wwx wakes up and blindly goes to the burial mounds. things proceed as canon, except that, after the first siege in the burial mounds, no one vomes to save little a'yuan, who dies scared and alone, calling to his parents.
wwx dies and ends up in the limbo, a place for lost souls which is basically an infinite train that never stops running unless the soul is able to move on and go to a lighter plane or just straight up reincarnate. times moves differently in the limbo, so while 13 years passed in the living world, 130 years passed in the limbo.
wwx stayed in 130 years in the limbo, with resentment and the grief messing with his [already fractured] mind frequently. little by little, hsi mind breaks even more and he descends deeper into madness each time.
thirteen years later, a different ritual is used and wwx comes back in his own body [unfortunately, mxy still dies because i don't know what to do with him], the only difference being his permanently blood red eyes and the white streak in the front of his hair.
as soon as he breathed for the first time in 130 years, wwx was ready to tear the cultivation world slow and painfully, piece by piece for everything it had done to him and those he loved. however, as soon as he hears that lwj had died, and he recovers his memories from the cave, all reationality is thown out of the window, and he goes absolutely berserk.
in less than thirteen days [yes, i difd chose this number on purpose], all of the major sects are gone, their members being completely wiped out of the map by a vengeful yiling laozu and hsi army of corpses that grew bigger and bigger every second.
because he became so poweful and basically ended cultivation, no one had the courage to throw wwx down thsi time, and so he lived and ruled china as a whole, because no one dared question him when he took the emperors throne for himself. they were afraid to do so.
am i going to continue this? probably not.
do i want to read something like this? yes.
am i going to write it? absolutely no.
any writers who wish to take this idea, feel free to do so. just give me the credicts, please, because i'm pretty sure this is original [at least, i haven't seen it anywhere, and believe me, i've serached].

i feel like the reason aang isn’t as adored and beloved as he should be is because he’s the protagonist but he’s also not an archetypal western classical hero. i don’t agree with the entirety of that “avatar aang: feminist icon” essay because i think the role of patriarchy and gender in atla is more complex than what that essay posits, but he definitely complicates the masculine ideal of heroism and generally does not conform to patriarchal notions of masculinity. which is very deliberate, especially as contrasted with sokka and zuko’s explicit struggles with the imperialist/colonial standards of an aggressive, militaristic, and chauvinistic masculinity. aang is subversive because he represents an absence of war in a world ravaged by it. through his link to a (somewhat more) peaceful and harmonious past, he represents a better possible future. as katara would say, he brings people hope.
but people don’t like that he’s not visibly edgy or tormented like zuko is (even though he’s a far more tragic character than zuko is, just fyi), that he isn’t “cool” (even though he’s literally the coolest kid ever, just fyi), that he “gets the girl” (even though if anything, she gets him) despite being twelve and bald and nice (the horror!). katara is the more classical hero of the narrative, as its narrator and its catalyst, the adventurous revolutionary who gradually learns to control and use her powers and eventually becoming a force to be reckoned with. zuko is the classical anti-hero of the narrative, his “redemption arc” constantly hailed as one of the greatest character arcs in television. so people expect katara and zuko, as very obvious narrative foils who parallel each other every step of the way, to be the obvious couple, because based on every romance narrative we’ve been inundated with throughout our lives, within our patriarchal society, they “just make sense together.”
but as much as katara is a protagonist in her own right, aang is the show. the title quite literally represents the central thematic tension of the entire narrative, the colon illustrating the implicit divide between his duties to this brave new world in desperate need of justice and balance, or his duties to his extirpated culture as the last true voice among them. aang is the central figure because this tension represents the crucial ideological battle happening across the entire show. aang is the avatar because he is the only person in the entire world whose values have not been shaped by war.
people constantly laud zuko, in particular, for being the most interesting, complex character in avatar. but i personally don’t even think that’s true. which isn’t to say that zuko isn’t fascinating in his own right, of course, but rather that he’s certainly not the only complex character this show has to offer. he just happens to monologue about his anguish constantly. but aang wasn’t raised as an imperial prince, and so he approaches the world, and his own pain, in a very different manner. the reason he immediately goes to ride giant koi on kyoshi island, mailchutes in omashu, and otherwise goofs around after learning of the shocking ramifications of his people’s genocide is because that’s how he copes with his pain. unlike zuko, who never stops talking about his aches and yearnings, aang represses his trauma and hides his tears behind a mask of upbeat cheerful goofy twelve year old antics.
until he can’t anymore. until he snaps. both katara and zuko wear their hearts on their sleeves, and that includes their rage. but aang’s rage is dangerous specifically because it represents that he has been pushed past his limits, that the conditions of this world in which he is a perpetual stranger, temporally displaced and dispossessed, are intolerable. that peaceful reconciliation is impossible. and the fact that he persists beyond that breaking point, over and over again, to firmly and resoundingly establish his ideals even as they conflict with everything he has learned about this world, a world that is not his own even as he can never return to the world he once knew, is what makes him so unique, so powerful, so beautiful.
i know that aang isn’t the typical hero, neither narratively nor aesthetically, but really, that’s the entire point. the world, our world, needs something other than what we have now. we need someone who will not succumb to the ideals of domination and victory through violence to assert themselves. we need someone who stands firm in refusing to kill the firelord, even as everyone he knows tells him otherwise. we need someone who knows that darkness cannot be vanquished through more darkness, but can only truly yield to purifying light.
and sure, aang is a child, and often acts childishly. sure, he’s not conventionally handsome and alluring. but one thing i will never understand is how that somehow negates his appeal to the masses. because even if you don’t appreciate how crucial he is to the themes of this narrative you all seem to love so much, how can you not love his adorable little face? his precious little laugh, his zest for life, the infinite well of love and kindness he holds in his heart? people who hate aang are crazy to me. because you are, quite literally, hating the world’s most precious baby boy.
