“Oisin was just manipulating Adaine!” “No Oisin’s not actually evil!”
Idk I think it’s funnier if he is evil and just also has a crush on her. Like yeah we’re trying to kill you but if you don’t die do you maybe wanna go out to dinner sometime
I recently read the Suki Alone comic, and it gave me a thought about the two groups founded by Kyoshi:
The Kyoshi Warriors honored Kyoshi's spirit by betraying her mandate. They were meant to keep Kyoshi Island safe and separate from the rest of the world, but ultimately they could not sit idly by while people were hurt and injustice was perpetrated, exactly like Kyoshi herself.
In contrast, the Dai Li stuck to the letter of the law while becoming everything Kyoshi hated and fought against. They "protect" Ba Sing Se as they were told, but they do so by capturing and victimizing its vulnerable citizens, by keeping a veil of lies over the population, and by amassing corrupt power for themselves, and Kyoshi's mandate enables them to do so. In a way, Jianzhu was the prototypical Dai Li, and their bending style (I'm remembering how in their first conflict, Jianzhu used earth cuffs and a muzzle against Kyoshi) reflects that.
