My uncle hates me. I know it. He loved me and supported me in every way he could, and I still turned against him. How can I even face him?

What are your headcanons for the fire family modern au?

Mostly all my modern au headcanons come from the fanfics I’ve read…which most of them consist in either them being owners of big companies lol. But I do have a phew on my own.

TW for Abuse!!

- I like to think that Ilah died in childbirth (like mostly all the fandom does lol) and Iroh being the one who took care of him as much he could, since Azulon was too depressed and neglectful to care about the baby.

- Iroh was meant to be the one who takes control of the company but when Lu Ten died, he just let Ozai to take care of it. Mostly like what happen in the canon.

- Azula tends to be alone in the big mansion, just taking Mai and Ty Lee for company.

- Following the previous one; Azula wants them to be on sleepovers most of the time so she doesn’t feel alone or invited them to vacations every summer.

- Zuko gets send to live with Iroh by Ozai, since he is basically an abusive ass who barely cared about him and since he knew that Iroh was depressed for Lu Ten’s death, he just manipulated him for it. Iroh is smart but he was vulnerable, y’know?

- Azula and Zuko have times where they go to Ursa’s hometown, showing how disconnected from reality they are.

- Ozai has them in a very strict academy, the slightest hint of imperfections gets with heavy punishments.

- Ozai is terrified of Azulon, he doesn’t show it but he can be nervous around him. He dies for his approval everytime.

- Along with the previous; Ozai is the type of jealous to be better than the other. Iroh has one son? He has two. Iroh owns a small business? Ozai owns a big company. You can get the idea I hope.

I have plenty of more and I can do a second part if you guys want but for now, stick to this and this old drawing from last year😭

time for another wave of ‘Iroh shouldn’t have gone back to the Jasmine Dragon because it was a place created on fake names and identities and living a life that was going to be a dead end for Iroh and Zuko because they had nowhere else to go at the time and by shoving Iroh back there it gave him what he WANTED but what he NEEDED was to help Zuko actively begin reparations to the world as Fire Nation Royalty, and to ensure that Zuko was healthy and thriving in his new role AND!!!!! it would have been good to see him begin to extend that patience to Azula, whose mindspace is a battlefield and in trying to show her that she could have someone who won’t leave, who won’t abandon her, who can show her she is more than what her father created, it would have only further cemented Iroh’s place as wanting to help the family heal AND!!! It would have given both Azula and Zuko a mediator, and they could finally start to come together and begin repairing their relationship now that Ozai has no hand in separating them and THEN!!!! when Iroh has seen to it that his niece and nephew are thriving and happy and healthy he can reopen his tea shop and whether it’s in the Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom or wherever I don’t care but the Jasmine Dragon in the Upper Ring of Ba Sing Se needs to remain a memory because narratively it’s a dead end and should have been tweaked for Iroh’s ending.

#I'm sorry I'm so obsessed with subtext that is mostly my own fault but #The Jasmine Dragon SHOULDN'T BE A HAPPY ENDING!!!!!! #AGHGHGGHGH #atla meta #Iroh #I love Iroh so so so so much but like stick that man into a dilemma created out of the ghost of his crimes #and the only way out is to help his niece and nephew and I'm there

okay like yeah dndads s2 has it's problems but the overarching theme of sometimes you make mistakes and you can never come back from them. you can never be forgiven. you made a grave mistake as a teenager and that will live with you forever. you betrayed a friend and it will never ever be the same. you weren't there for your son during his childhood and now you never will be. and you just have to accept that and move forward anyway! you can apologize and mean it but you don't get to start over from forgiveness, you don't get to be forgiven. you get to keep living and make different choices

#btw this is why i love iroh & the way they deal with the Atrocities in atla #anyway i'm caught up on dndads and it took me a minute to process why i liked the latest ep so much #dndads

[comradekatara]

ugh okay i get that toph is a) extremely powerful and b) rejects traditional gender roles but she is NOT a brute. her whole deal is that her earthbending technique isn’t like the mainstream approach of using sheer force to attack. the reason she beats the boulder so easily isn’t because she’s physically stronger than him (she very obviously is not!) but because she waits and she listens. that’s the whole reason aang decides to recruit her as his teacher. because she is uniquely creative, perceptive, thoughtful, patient, and intelligent. she enjoys fighting and she’s really, really good at it, she’s sassy, she’s forthright, and she delights in being kind of disgusting in a way she wasn’t allowed to be growing up, but she’s also empathetic, understanding, and vulnerable. by ignoring that you are doing a huge disservice to what makes her character so incredible in the first place. thank you

#toph #hot takes #ugh sorry one bad take in my notes too many I just needed to get this off my chest #toph is tricky bc a lot of ppl claim to love her but then reduce her character so it’s like okay how much do u love her really #same goes for a lot of katara ‘fans’ #who don’t actually understand what makes her great in the first place #and ppl who claim to love sokka but only like that he’s funny #or ppl who claim to love iroh but think he did nothing wrong ever in his life #like. it’s just such shallow and reductive ‘appreciation’ for these characters #and I know that I’m obviously more In This than most ppl #so I don’t blame them #but I did need to like. say it #lol

#alright re: last reblog #first of all zuko is a massive bitch and i love him so much #second u know he was just like there is One person in the world that katara wants to murder more than me so let’s do that #so she can let it out And spare my ass <3 #tHIRD ppl it’s not really surprising that zuzu is pro murder like #boy was supposed to inherit an imperialist empire and keep up an imperialist war #idk if ozai was the only one able to get the throne without going to battle once but iroh and lu ten were generals. led armies. #zuko was Fully prepared to take on that role too (see: the fateful war meeting) #he’s been raised with the yeah murder is a thing that you’ll have to do mindset #like he’s not a killer but he Would do it if the circumstances called for it #(sokka parallel btw) #does it make sense? #also like #he fully says that if he wasn’t such a firm believer in destiny he Could and Would have killed ozai on the day of the black sun #he says it to his face #this would be a fun au actually lmao like. the gaang bursting into the room and there’s just zuko there #next to ozai’s lightning fried corpse #like hello 🧍🏻‍♂️👋🏼 zuko here 😬🔥 #and has to convince everyone he’s good and friendly now this is not an evil plan 🫶🏼 #last thing but this reminds me #WHERE is that post that was like #sokka finds out zuko could have ended the war the day of the black sun but didn’t and just throttles him #<333 #if you read all this ty i’m sorry i’m kissing u #send post

I came across an article online about the decision to change the Tale of Two Lovers that was titled something to the effect of "a minor change that doesn't make a difference". But here's the thing: it makes all the difference.

I was 12 when Avatar first aired, exactly in the target demographic. I'm watching it now through the lens of an adult who grew up with the show, and I noticed the difference immediately. My fiance, a cishet man, was more excited about the secret tunnel song than anything, but I got stuck on Oma and Shu, and instantly just thought of what it would've been like to hear that so casually mentioned at 12 years old, uncertain of my wlw identity, to have the story of the foundation of the Earth kingdom be of a love between two women. It's so important and I'm so happy they did that.

#avatar #avatar spoilers #spoilers #oma and shu #omashu #look okay i know a lot of people don't like the show but I'm honestly having a GREAT time #particularly with Zuko i honestly really love his characterization and the actor is spot on so far #the rest not so much #katara is starting to come into herself #Aang I'm not sold on tbh he lacks conviction and he's a little cheesy #sokka is too white #but Zuko and Iroh are wonderful #AND THE MUSIC #I WAS CRYING AT LEAVES FROM THE VINE

I'll just share it here 'cause I don't wanna type the same thing lol. But yes, it was soooo BEAUTIFUL!! I want to talk so much more about it.

THE 41ST THAT ZUKO SAVED AND GOT BANISHED FOR IS HIS CREW. AHHHHHH.

#avatar the last airbender #avatar last airbender live action #atla live action #the 41st #zuko #iroh #i cant remember is this was canon in the animated show but i dont think its was #ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #its hurts #guys this live action could change everything and i wouldn't care YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS HC! #the crew that spent the beginning of the show saying hes a brat who doesn't understand hes is the reason they're still alive #and on top of that zuko never told them. he could have heald that over them but he didnt. #from their perspective they're a newly drafted crew probably on their first duty and they were assigned to a banished prince #but they were saved by him. hes the reson they arent dead. i have so many feelings about this guys #im unwell #batcavescolony watches atla live action #batcavescolony watches

[mugentakeda]

them flip flopping the original roles of this scene is making me feel demented. the added lu ten funeral scene adds the perfect parallel and depth to it: lu ten gave his medal to zuko to serve as comfort and determination to zuko when ozai was mad at him, yet zuko gave it up to comfort iroh after lu ten died. and then sat with him through the funeral when nobody else was. and now zuko's the one heading into what's basically a suicide mission and yet he takes the initiative to console iroh by telling him lu ten would be proud to have him as a father. this is sick work and i'm gonna be haunted by it for the next 30 days and 30 nights

#AND THEN IROH CRIES OVER HIM AGAIN #netflix iroh is a crybaby dad guys. Everything is beautiful. peace and love is everywhere #this is how they say i love you to each other. by saying everything else thats insane in this world except for i love you #and i love how paul acts out this like... completely desolate look on his face when irohs mourning his son/s. like he looks so Not there #idk theres just so much going on here i love every bit of it #natlaspoilers

[nopeferatu]

idc what people are whining abt, i actually really enjoyed the netflix avatar series. the costume and set design was really beautiful, the effects were great, the performances were great. i think people are weirded out about the pacing and i understand that, but at the same time, they're working on netflix's budget and i think they did a great job utilizing the important material in book 1 to tell as well rounded of a story as they possibly could. and like sure, i get that it was jarring to see them start at the VERY beginning instead of starting w katara and sokka finding aang like the original show does for ex, but like. idk! i think they shouldn't feel obligated to hit every plot point beat for beat and i don't think we lost anything by establishing aang's background early on. actually, every single scene with master gyatso made me fucking bawl lol. aang's loss is soooo much more palpable in this show than the original one imo bc it lingers on that pain a lot more. there were a few story choices that kinda made me scratch my head a bit, like the fact that teo wasn't introduced as part of the new Northern Air Temple population and what effects that had on aang, but i'm really not mad about it. anyways i give it two big thumbs up and i hope it gets renewed for another season

#i hate it when uber fans get uppity bc the thing isn't exactly the same as the thing they love and they go into it w a shit attitude #i chose to be optimistic abt it and i really enjoyed myself watching this season today #also tho like seeing how much fun the cast had working on it and hearing them talk abt how rare this experience is #(the experience of working on a primarily asian and indigenous american casted show) #was like. a once in a lifetime.life changing event for them. and most anything that provides jobs for people of color in the art is a #net good imo #anyways give it a shot if you're curious abt it #i actually bawled so much throughout the whole season lol it made me sooo emotional #zukko and iroh will never fail to get me but the aang and master gyatso stuff also supremely fucked me up #also azula is way more sympathetic very early on this time around and i appreciate them being realistic #abt the fact that having an abusive father like ozai would fuck any child up #avatar the last airbender spoilers #atla spoilers #atla #avatar the last airbender

[kilucore]

its amazing how i can watch atla for the 20th time and still be moved to tears over zuko and iroh

#and im not even actually watching it im watching a reaction video #like it must be bc of where im at in life rn because #i dont think irohs words have ever hit harder for me #and then theres zuko my baby #i love him so much #i have so many emotions about him #atla #zuko #iroh

[peony-pearl]

"Iroh ignored Azula” Well what if I didn’t believe that and the greatest irony of Avatar is that Iroh was one of the folks who encouraged her strategic thinking that she would use to later hunt him down

#atla #Azula #Iroh #my art #did he fail her? Yeah probably #homeboy had his own set of issues like continuing his father's conquest #he really didn't have time for either her or Zuko #and if Zuko really was born kind of meek to a very competitive family #who's to say Iroh paid much attention to him? #And put favor towards Azula? #and then he's gone for the siege and then an unknown amount of time for his spirit journey #and comes home and Azula is firmly not interested in Iroh #but Zuko who has been ignored and belittled by his father may seek Iroh out #to which Iroh would be open to but he's still messed up over his own issues #and being on the boat during Zuko's exile creates that bond #So Iroh would escape the favoritism aspect of the Fire Nation and show love towards the 'imperfect' son #while Azula has Ozai's favor #Which itself isn't healthy #but idk I can't hate Iroh for a series of events set before his time in which there's going to be a definite loser #and he's already lost #so he's going to try and help someone even if he doesn't really know how nor does he have the motivation at first #but then his care for Zuko grows and he realizes he wants that again and will do what he can #I'll gladly take the imperfect character who at least tries to have his heart in the right place
