so, Astarion and Finch. which one of them watches the other fight and thinks "that's so hot"?
finch finds astarion's skill and deftness with a blade VERY sexy admirable but i think the person who has that immediate "HOT" moment is astarion himself.
there is probably something immediately attractive to astarion "technically not a murderhobo but only because he dresses nice" ancunin about seeing a man who (for the most part) tries to favor persuasion decide that a situation is bad enough to call for killing someone
and swiftly, effectively, and mercilessly
following through with that decision.

parts of live action ATLA that I can think of right now and thought were particularly well done include:
- opening scene with the earthbender (he fought hard and died brutally, it sets the tone well for this world at war)
- the air nomad genocide (it feels so different when we have to see it for ourselves, jeez louise)
- Kyoshi fighting through Aang (metal as hell)
- the cave of two lovers (gay Oma and Shu!! red and blue Oma and Shu!! hell yeah!! I also just like how they had Sokka and Katara in there instead, and their familial love got them out)
- that earth kingdom soldier talking to Iroh (more nuanced than just "corrupt soldier punch old man", also "he was only 19" got to me, great acting bro)
- Zuko talking to Iroh at Lu Ten's funeral (Zuko saying what he's supposed to but then instead of leaving he shares a memory of his cousin and just sits with his devastated, unresponsive uncle so he isn't alone, oh my god I cried)
- Seeing Zuko's father tell him he's banished (he looks so young and scared and he echos what his mother must've taught him about the weak being capable of growing stronger)
- Zuko's crew being the 41st division (I love that it ties the crew directly to the action that upset Ozai and led to Zuko's banishment, plus it gives the crew a pretty damn good reason to respect him despite him being a bratty asshole sometimes)

Show Snotlout is just so vastly superior to movie Snotlout, and I KNOW i KNOW they had more time in the shows, but they didn't have to reduce him pretty much solely to comic relief in the movies (I adore movielout btw even though thw Snotlout was a total nightmare)
Bc like it would've been so easy to give him a moment w Hiccup where he's like we believe in you in the second movie to show his growth from the first, or to show him joking around WITH the gang as opposed to being the butt of the joke constantly and stuff idk

the shot of nate being stopped in his tracks seeing ted and trent talk is making me mental because we as an audience know that nate leaked ted's mental health to trent. nate wanted to be an anonymous source so he probably didn't piece together that ted knows what he did because ted hasn't really confronted nate about it and not many people know the full story of what went down so it hasn't spread around (the team just now know about the sign being torn in half). nate couldn't make amends for his accidental slight in not shaking ted's hand because he couldn't face the deeper hurt he has caused to the man he looked up to, who was one of the first to see his potential

More knocking it out of the park: in 2.07 the flashback when Rosamund Pike plays Moiraine as completely different than we’ve ever gotten to see her so far and yet it feels wholly in character and immediately your heart breaks like “Oh, this is who she really is, I’ve spent the last two seasons with just a fragment of her, this serious, semi-miserable duty-bound shroud she’s been forced to wear over the rest of who she is”.
and then the double gut punch of the end of that scene, Sophie Okonedo and Pike just staring at each other completely devastated but both so honor bound they’re immediately accepting the loss of all their joint dreams for this new reality/ this new calling, and the worst part is that willingness to accept the loss in the face of duty is part of what they love about each other. They’re both just like “Oh. So this is what it will be. Oh” and your heart breaks even further oh that scene killed me

Holy cow there’re a lot and I really do mean A LOT of Welcome Home AUs, and more coming too. Not saying it’s a bad thing, but it makes sense considering WH doesn’t have a lot to work with so it leaves tons of room for fans to play around with. I just hope it doesn’t get outta hand like what happened to Undertale with its AUs.
People are free to have creative liberty on what aus they wanna make- like you said there is very little canon content to munch on so people will pull a “fine I’ll do it myself” JCHFHDHU-
I personally don’t mind it as well, but I do enjoy the aus where they purposely change Wally’s height just to make him more simp-able LMAOO
