it’s 8:45pm on a random wednesday and i just got hit full force by the sheer depth and emotion of yue’s death/sacrifice.

my hand holding my phone went slack. my jaw hit the floor. this girl was SIXTEEN and didn’t even hesitate or think twice to give her life for her people. i already knew this but for some reason it only truly hit me just now how powerful she was for that. it only just hit me how intense that scene is.

yue oh my god.

#atla #yue #DUDE.#duuude #i’m like fully having an epiphany moment #she really did that #holy shit #no other atla death is of that calibre #no other character sacrifices themself in the same way and with the same level of certainty and selflessness #holy. shit.#yue.#wow

Ting Yue

Ting Yue comes from the long lost Ting Sect though not quiet how most might thing. A very young Ting was the daughter of the Sect Founder many, many years ago. She was out hunting one evening when she came upon men attacking a lone woman, and rather than side with those cultivators that were attacking this lone woman and her child, Yue sprung to the defense of the woman and the child. She fought with the ferocity of a fox backed into a corner.

Yue, slayed at least two of the cultivators that were attacking the woman, the woman was already terribly wounded. Her child was her primary concern as it should be. Yue herself was struck a critical blow and would not have survived the fight even though they managed to dispatch the attackers both woman were mortally wounded.

The huli Jing, knew it was her time. She granted her fox spirit to the cultivator and made her swear to care for the child. To love it as it was her own and to allow it to grow and become its own person. She never discovered which sect had attacked the lone woman and baby. Who ever did it never sought the bodies of the dead. They were buried under a tree though she would have left them for carrion food if given the option.

Still, she had a responsibility and she took the baby and the blessing or curse, and went into a hidden world. One a cultivator rarely saw because anything remotely non-human was a monster and should be destroyed. She set herself up a realm within the Dafan Mountains and that is where she raised the child though she learned that maybe the true sacrifice was her own. The son never became a fox spirit, he never learned how to shift his form or change as she did. So since that would not work, she began to teach him cultivation. A woodland version to make up for his natural aptitude as a fox.

He could shape shift under the cultivation's she taught him, he could blend into the woods with it. He could become the shadow of a tree and he could easily stride through them as his adopted mother did. He would never gain more tails but what he had was plenty, and when he became of age, much to her own heartbreak the little boy she had spent more that two centuries with left home to forge his own path. It was only right, and of course he should go his own way. She missed him terrible and she often shadowed him, or watched over him if she heard stories of him.

Her boy, Jinshi became a hero a legendary figure and she stayed in the shadows she did not need applause for doing the right thing. She had cultivated to the point where she was immortal and while she had not originally sought it. This brought about gifts or curses of its own. She was able to raise more children...but there was always the bitter-sweetness of loosing them. She saw generation rise and fall. Finally when the pain became to great she would sleep to revitalize herself

Yue, woke briefly during the Sunshot Campaign and left a blood trail behind her of those that had harmed her kin. She returned to sleep shortly after as she had awakened prematurely. She awoke again at the return of the Yiling Patriarch.

While she has raised many children and taught them woodland cultivation she has never taken a husband or lover. Her initial interaction with men and seeing what they had done to the Huli Jing that dynasty ago gave her a touch of ptsd she has managed it better over the centuries but there is still that small fear to fall into the same pattern.

In modern day Yue works as a Pre School Teacher. She still cultivates and she is still a hero. She devotes herself to protecting children, woman and the world.

* portrayal & continuation of princess yue's canon.

i can write yue at any point in her short canon. from her childhood in the northern water tribe to her mortal death at the age of sixteen.

my continuation for her story is she becomes the personification of the moon. although she has become the moon herself, she eventually is able to walk amongst the human world once more but only at night when she's strongest. depending on the phases of the moon, she appears as an apparition until the full moon when she's at her strongest and can hold a fleshly body for some time.

she has waterbending + waterbending related abilities that are amplified or slightly weakened with the phases of the moon as well.

since her death at 16, she remains locked in at that age appearance wise, never aging.

*deep breath* Okay. Here we go.

I don't think the Netflix Avatar show likes women very much. It's a great show for fans of Aang, Sokka, Zuko, and Iroh specifically. All four of those characters get a ton of great material. In fact, it's super great for Sokka stans, because the show takes him ultra-seriously and can't go five minutes without one character or another (usually a woman) praising him.

But the way it handles its female cast is troublesome.

Katara

So, all three of the main trio got some changes made to their stories. They changed Aang's story so that he wasn't running away from his responsibilities; He was just clearing his head and somehow accidentallied himself into a tsunami. Whoopsy-dooodle. Aang did nothing wrong.

They changed Sokka's story so that him being a leader of his people and a great guardian warrior is treated with complete seriousness. Multiple times, characters stop to talk about how brave and noble Sokka is for taking on such an intense responsibility, and tell him to his face what a great warrior and a wonderful leader he is. Also his misogyny is erased.

And they changed Katara's story so that she directly got her mom killed because she sucks at waterbending.

Katara tries to waterbend to attack the Fire Nation soldier but couldn't manage it, provoking the soldier to start actively searching for her and forcing her mom to fake a waterbending attack and draw his fire. They changed Katara's story so that her bad decision making fucking got her mom killed.

This is treated with the same level of severity as "Sokka was bullied by mean kids and also his dad doesn't think he's good enough to be a leader."

"I hoped Sokka would do better but not everyone is meant to have people's lives in their hands," Sokka's dad says of him.

Yeah, you're right, that's totally comparable to watching your mom get barbecued because you tried to waterbend in a situation you shouldn't have and then failed.

In fact, they give Sokka's greatest trauma more weight because it gets examined again with Yue next episode, while Katara actively getting her mom killed isn't brought up again at all. We get traumatized glimpses of it throughout the season leading up to the reveal, but after this scene in episode 5, it never comes up again.

But to be fair, Katara was a child. An event this significant would surely have motivated her, driving her to become the great waterbender she is now, right?

No! Katara sucks at waterbending and needs men who aren't even waterbenders to teach her how to waterbend. She requires instruction from Aang in episode 1 to learn how to waterbend, then from Jet in episode 3 to learn how to waterbend better.

And unlike the show, her relationship with Aang isn't a give-and-take; Katara doesn't teach Aang a single goddamn thing. He never learns to waterbend. She is a strictly a pupil throughout the whole season. Though she at least gets officially labeled a master in episode 8, so there's that.

In any case, the whole traumatic memory thing isn't even the only time she's directly compared with Sokka. Episodes 3 and 4 see Katara and Sokka bicker over whose morally dubious side character is better. Sokka likes the Mechanist and Katara likes Jet.

Ultimately, Katara is forced to eat crow when Jet turns out to be the worst, while Sokka is vindicated when the Mechanist sees the error of his ways and reforms. But not before two separate arguments where Sokka calls Katara childish and accuses her of acting like a little girl.

Arguments ultimately resolved when Katara apologizes to Sokka for not adequately respecting his very serious and ultra important role as village protector and leader. Gives him a whole speech about how great and glorious he is. And Sokka... appreciates Katara learning to respect him properly, I guess, because he never offers any similar sentiments back to her.

The show just... They need you to know how important Sokka is, okay? It's very important that you respect Sokka.

Suki

Suki suffers tremendously from that whole "Sokka's misogyny was removed" thing. Y'know, because they need something else to do with that episode. The show is deeply aware that Suki is Sokka's love interest, so they just do that right off the bat. Suki falls madly in love with him from the moment they meet, and spends the entire episode making goo-goo eyes and trying to get him to Notice Me Senpai.

They still do the "Suki Trains Sokka" stuff. But Sokka is a serious, dignified manly man worthy of the deepest respect now, so of course they don't make him wear the Kyoshi uniform. Instead, the main purpose of his training is to allow them to flirt some more. It's less martial arts training and more an excuse to grope each other and near-kiss.

Suki's just a waifu now. She still fights real good, but all of the stuff that made her relationship with Sokka interesting has been erased.

Yue

Yue, similarly, leaps straight to shipping from the word go. They write out her fiance, Hahn, by having Yue briefly meet Sokka earlier in the season. She spends one minute talking to him in the Spirit World about Spirit World lore; In that time, she falls so desperately, madly, unfathomably in love with him that she breaks off her marriage to Hahn and devotes herself to waiting for him to one day come to her.

"Never have I known such joys as that time you let me explain the spirit bear Hei Bei to you. Truly, we are destined to be together for life."

Like with Suki, they go out of their way to have Yue and Sokka already be a ship from the word 'go' so they don't have to spend time developing any kind of meaningful attraction.

They just. They really want you to know that Sokka is the manliest and most desirable man ever to walk this earth. It is very important that you understand how great he is. Women hurl themselves into his arms with zero effort whatsoever, because he's just so goddamn irresistible.

Fortunately, Hahn is super okay with this turn of events. He's the most chill guy ever, he gets along perfectly well with Sokka, and he completely supports Yue's right to dump him! In the famously misogynistic Northern Water Tribe, no less! What a swell guy. Aren't men swell?

June

June gets hit with that "rewritten as hollow waifu" stick too, but her eyes are set on Iroh. They rewrote June to be super attracted and flirty towards the man who was her unwanted sexual harasser in the source material. So that's fun.

Also, she barely does anything. Zuko hires her to find Aang, she succeeds, and then she fucks right off out of the show - But she manages to find time to express how unbelievably sexy Iroh is twice during that time.

She seriously just dropped into the show to flirt with Iroh and leave. She is unbelievably inconsequential.

Kyoshi

And then there's Kyoshi. They really want you to hate Kyoshi. She's constantly shot from below, as if looking down on Aang and the audience. Her voice takes on a demonic echoing reverb at one point as she's screaming at Aang that "THE AVATAR MUST BE A MERCILESS WARRIOR!!!"

She despises Aang, calling him a coward for running away from his responsibilities - Which, I remind you, is no longer a plot point because they unwrote that flaw from his character. So she's just a complete and utter asshole, shot from the asshole angle, yelling violently at him with asshole sound effects. They want you to despise this woman.

Azula

Awkwardly, they do not seem to want you to despise Azula.

There's a lot to be said for how Ozai treats Azula in the original show. The way the favoritism he shows her is every bit as cruel and manipulative as the unfavoritism that he shows Zuko. Ozai does not love Azula. He loves the reflection of himself he sees in her eyes, and his encouragement urges her to polish herself to ensure his reflection always shines through.

This is not that. The show instead erases the favoritism entirely. Ozai doesn't really care one way or another about either of his kids. He plays them against each other, bragging openly to Azula about how great Zuko is and unpleasably writing Azula off as weak and useless.

They've rewritten the dynamic between abusive father and his two abused kids in order to take Azula's pride away. Reimagining her from a gifted prodigy who excels at imitating the toxic behaviors of a father who doesn't truly care for her, to a put-upon overachiever tearing herself in knots to live up to the standards of her unpleasable father.

This results in a truly wild portrayal of Azula as insecure and jealous of Ozai's seemingly love for Zuko. Here, she is simply a browbeaten child constantly complaining to her friends about how mean her father is and conspiring to get one up over Daddy's Golden Child Zuko.

Which she fails at, because she backs Zhao. Zuko deftly defeats her without even realizing they're in competition.

Conclusion

The season ends well for some of these women. It ends promising that maybe we'll see Katara teaching Aang some day. It ends with Zhao bragging that Ozai just used Zuko to train Azula so maybe we'll see the more confident and misguidedly proud Azula some day. Yue becomes the moon like she's supposed to. June's still out there so maybe she'll get to do something again some day.

Katara gets to fight Pakku and lose, but she looks pretty cool. She gets to fight Zuko and lose, but she looks pretty cool. Azula learns to lightningbend because she's just so mad about Ozai's contempt for her and favoritism for Zuko, which isn't how you lightningbend.

But promises of future content fall flat when the content that exists is so underwhelming. This season made its feelings on these characters pretty evident, and it's unwise to expect better material from creators who've disappointed you with the material they already made.

The women of Netflix Avatar simply do not get to shine, outside of superficial moments like the "Women of Northern Water Tribe demand the right to fight and then fuck off and don't do anything for the entire rest of the episode" bit.

"In the midst of battle, we demand that you stop being sexist and give us permission to fight! This is a way better idea than convincing you to teach us to fight before the battle begins."

The characters of this show feel as if they've been reimagined to glorify the boys at the expense of the girls. The boys are treated with a great amount of care. They're dignified and made important movers of the plot, with their rough edges sanded off. While the girls are molded around them.

overlooking all the other reasons why the show went downhill: katara’s feminine rage missing, aang getting guilt punched every episode, bumi being ooc, almost zero gaang bonding episodes, three episodes compiled into one (done twice), azula being introduced too early + given too much screen time, the cave of two lovers being in s1 when it was a s2 episode— all of that is valid but the show can really be pointed out in two ways where they went downhill:

aang never waterbended once during a season where it is literally called book one: water.

yue’s wig.

#thats it #everything else can be fixed by the next season (hopefully)#there’s still hope #maybe #but these two things can never be undone and i wont forgive them for it #avatar the last airbender #aang #katara #sokka #zuko #prince zuko #azula #princess azula #uncle iroh #princess yue #toph beifong #atla #atla netflix #that’s rough buddy

The world needs more Yue and Zuko friendship, I squeal just thinking abt the parallels. They deserve a life changing field trip together and if u have abt ideas I’m all ears 👀

Hiii anon this ask fermented in my inbox and in my brain for so long,, so take this??? Post canon yue lives/no war au arts?? Anyway aside from the Parallels and their political position & their duty before hoes grindset I think they could learn a lot from each other. With zuko learning the gift of patience & diplomacy from yue & Yue learning that allowing yourself to feel anger and speaking up can actually be Good.
