everyone always talks about zuko’s (admittedly perfect) character arc but no one ever talks about the slow-burn, three-season-long devolution of Azula from the “perfect child,” “dad’s favorite,” “badass in charge” who is given way too much to handle and is mature past her years to an insecure, neglected, hurting, unhinged child who desperately, in her last few minutes of clarity, just wants her mom
kind of obsessed with the idea of the rest of the gaang leaving Toph and Zuko to watch over some cooking food and when they come back its burned and Katara starts fuming but Toph and Zuko are like “we’ve never stepped inside a kitchen in our lives and only have one eye between us, if anything it’s your fault”
literally nothing will ever be more pure than the way sokka yells “SUKI” every time he sees his gf and runs right into her arms. i love that.
yeah the number of assasination attempts against Zuko after he becomes Fire Lord is fucked up but consider: he spent a year of his life surviving multiple people trying to kill him. and so did his closest friends.
they are all such ridiculously good fighters that stopping the assassins got rather boring. Toph really missed the adrenaline rush so she turns it into a game to see who can incapacitate the assassins the fastest & with the most creativity.
she is winning of course
Avatar but its a summer anime in the 90s and they still have powers and stuff but also live like normal highschoolers
Aang, surrounded by baffled councilmen, interrupted mid meeting: "ZUKO I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’D DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS!”
Zuko, half burnt after fistfighting his latest assasin: “It’s not that bad. Besides, you’re like twelve, you don't have to worry about this”
Aang: “only tw—I was the one who—! No, you know what? I’m calling your grandpa!”
The councilmen, thinking of Azulon: “?!”
Zuko: “WAIT NO AANG I’M SORRY!”
Aang, meditating aggressively: “TOO LATE.”
Roku, taking Aang’s place: “ZUKO I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’D DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS!”
The councilmen, losing their fucking minds: “?!?!?!????!??!???!”
u cant tell me they wouldnt be overly loud in various public restaurants, you simply cant
(click for quality and all that)
so. we are all fans of Zuko and Sokka being the only ones that don’t know they’re in love. but what about Zuko and Sokka who have BEEN dating, who are 100% official, who do not try to keep it a secret at all and think everyone else knows
and somehow. no one in the gaang. notices ???
Katara through text: hey zuko do you need a ride tonight? Zuko, who is literally on a date with Sokka: nah im already gonna be out with sokka but we might be late Katara: SCORE tell him I owe him one, I have a thousand other things to do
Zuko and Sokka move in together Aang: Hey, that’s smart! you’ll save a lot in rent that way Aang: Now that I think about it…. could I move in too?
Sokka: Katara he PROPOSED Katara: Oh my god, gays move so fast theses days? Sokka: Katara we’ve been dating for four years
atla au where aang never entered the iceberg and really is a century-old pacifist master bender when an incandescently furious middle schooler with fire powers and fresh trauma kicks down his door while he’s meditating and demands that he fight him. aang doesn’t want to fight him, has no desire to hurt a child, and can essentially do the bending equivalent of keeping zuko flailing at arm’s length with one hand, so with iroh more than willing to befriend the avatar, the series becomes zuko and his two fun uncles (one of whom keeps gently rebuffing his efforts to capture him) taking a therapy roadtrip across the world, picking up a gang of other troubled kids on the way (iroh wants zuko to make friends his own age) to fight his dad
Zuko trying to convince them to let him join team avatar like:
The best part of avatar is when the fire nation prince and the literal "dragon of the west" fire nation general just dick around and eventually open a tea shop
