That Nikolas and Spencer scene was tragic because Nikolas was telling Spencer everything he always wanted to hear from his father since he came back but it's all empty promises. Spencer will probably never have the relationship he desperately wants with his father because his father is too selfish to do anything but let him down. He might as well still consider himself an orphan

Sometimes I feel like Alucard. No point of my existance. Guess that's why my tracking days should come to an end. Its no use.
Anyway, I'd like to thank all those who supported me for all these years.
Nancy Trinh, for being maybe the only person to believe in me. Thanx a lot!
Sharaz Batta, for encouraging me to go on and on at times when I was down.
Suleman Ali Akbar, for showing that life is worth living.
My bro and Uzair, who is like a second bro to me.
Thanx a lot all you guys!
My next song will be the last one. Can't go down without a BANG! I'll try my best to make it the best one. It will be dedicated to a very special person. Who could it be?
If you like this song, please keep in mind that this is NOT my style. This song was made out of sheer frustration.
finishing date & time: 19th July 1999, 11:33 PM

I rewatched The Avatar and the Fire Lord a few days ago, and god, what a good episode. Revealing that Zuko is a descendant of both Sozin and Roku was a genius move (and that's not even getting into the Zuko/Aang parallels of it all). But there's something the show doesn't seem to think of, and that I haven't seen anyone in the fandom discuss either — the fact that Zuko isn't the only one descendant from both these men. Azula is, too.
The conclusion of this story that Iroh presents to Zuko at the end of the episode is that he alone — because of his lineage from both men the war was started from — is uniquely capable of cleansing the sins of his family and the fire nation and bringing peace to the world. But, the thing is, there's two sides of this conflict, and therefor two sides to its legacy. The external and the personal. The legacy of the external is the war, but the legacy of the personal is the sibling rivalries that kept repeating through generations of the royal family.
Though Roku and Sozin were not actually related, they were childhood friends as close as siblings and fucking shared a birthday, so the symbolism works. We know very little about Azulon's childhood or if he even had any direct sibling rivalries like this at all, but from what I can find on his wiki page, we know that Sozin favoured him over "other family" (I'm assuming his siblings). What we know very well, however, is what happened in the next generation between Iroh and Ozai. We know Azulon favoured Iroh over Ozai, and that this likely is the initial source of their hatred for each other, which resulted in perhaps the worst sibling rivalry of them all (what with the indirect patricide and throne stealing).
Then we go on to Zuko and Azula, whose upbringing kept going in the same patterns, but the key difference is them being the first ones to both be descendant from the men who started it all. If Zuko having this lineage makes him uniquely capable of ending the cycle of war in his country and restoring balance to the world, shouldn't that mean that both he and Azula having this lineage makes them uniquely capable of ending the cycle of brutal sibling rivalries and restoring balance to their family?
This conclusion I've presented seems to fit perfectly with the lesson Aang draws from the same story as well:
"Roku was just as much Fire Nation as Sozin was, right? If anything, their story proves that anyone's capable of great good and great evil. Everyone, even the Fire Lord and the Fire Nation, have to be treated like they're worth giving a chance."
I know this is supposed to be foreshadowing to Aang refusing to kill Ozai later, but I can't help but think it's even more applicable to fourteen year old Azula. It's really so ironic that the show runners thought Azula deserved what she got when their own show seems to be telling them that Zuko mending his relationship with her is what he ultimately should've done.
But, then again... that does sort of make her the perfect tragedy.

Very sexy of the Durgetash fandom to have collectively lost our minds over the potential romantic reading of about four lines of dialogue and a handful of environmental storytelling elements in a game that has some of the most varied and interesting actual romance options of all time.

watching horatio, the sensible—NOT PASSION’S SLAVE—lose all sensibility as he picks up the cup of poison, knowing suicide will eternally condemn him to hell.
horatio would rather be banished to hell forever than live on earth after hamlet's death.

oh my god. if the “your hearing is the last sense to go out before death” thing is true then that means that there’s a chance the last thing hamlet heard was “goodnight, sweet prince,” from horatio and then his hearing went out probably

things cardan said to jude that have absolutely wreckt me
in no particular order
By you, I am forever undone.
It's you I love. I spent much of my life guarding my heart. I guarded it so well that I could behave as though I didn’t have one at all. Even now, it is a shabby, worm-eaten, and scabrous thing. But it is yours.
Have I told you how hideous you look tonight? ... I can't.
Yes my sweet villain, my darling god ... sweet Jude, you're my dearest punishment.
By you, I am forever undone.
And yet, my heart is buried with you in the strange soil of the mortal world, as it was drowned with you in the cold waters of the Undersea. It was yours before I could admit it, and yours it shall ever remain.
My sweet nemesis, how glad I am that you returned.
I knew little else, but I always knew you.
Come home and shout at me. Come home and fight with me. Come home and break my heart, if you must. Just come home.
By you, I am forever undone.
