the thing about azula is that she was just a kid. she was 14 years old & she just desperately wanted to please her father - the same exact thing zuko always wanted, & we get to see his desperation & hurt trying to please a man who cares more about politics & power than his family throughout the series - but we’re really only exposed to azula’s desperation at the end.
Tumblr media
man she was just a KID. the hurt on her face - the way she lashes out when ozai tells her she’s not coming with him - the way she says “really?” in a small voice when he tells her he has an important job for her. the idea that this broken child is irredeemable or beyond help is literally just so fucking sick & twisted. she was a KID 😭

Today this war is finally over. I promised my uncle that I would restore the honor of the Fire Nation and I will. The road ahead of us is challenging. A hundred years of fighting has left the world scarred and divided. But with the Avatar's help we can get it back on the right path, and begin a new era of love and peace.

Hi! I know you're very fond of blood bender Nya. So, that makes me wonder if that will be included in Lightning Pin. I'm curious because I think it will be a good opportunity for Nya to bond with Kaida since Kaida can control souls, and if Nya's a blood bender, she technically can control people (?) Idk, that's how I see it jrndksk.
OOO THANKS FOR THIS ASK! Believe me, I've been thinking about this very concept since they can control people and what it means for each of them to use a technique like that.
I'm also going to take the opportunity to talk a little about bloodbending and how I think Nya would feel with that technique (spoilers for Skybound AU I guess)
In particular, I think that Nya would use bloodbending in a situation where she is really desperate, an extreme scenario where she has no other option and it's her best alternative in combat to quickly finish off an enemy. Nya has a strong sense of responsibility for the difficulty involved in managing an element as versatile as water. Even if she may be frustrated at first with this very thing, she is aware of the scope of such an element and the importance of controlling it. She would clearly understand the consequences of simply depriving someone of control of their body, the moral question of when it is necessary to use such a technique when she may accidentally end up killing a petty criminal.
So, I don't think Nya would be afraid of the technique but she wouldn't feel comfortable using it in combat knowing what it entails and much less she would use it unless she was pushed to her limits. Of course, if she was in a situation where she had no choice she would be really ruthless with bloodbending.
Now Kaida on the other hand...
I've mentioned it before, but this girl sees violence as something normal and pragmatic. Thanks to Jay, she understands that she has to control her powers better so as not to accidentally hurt someone she cares about, but it's not like she thinks or even considers that there are any other ways to handle a situation other than "kill or be killed." For example, in Lightning Pin, she attacks Cole without even thinking once she realizes he is an elemental master. So her sense of awareness of what it means to use her powers completely ignores the moral question of what it means to steal someone's soul. It also doesn't help that Jay's moral flexibility means he was never really able to teach her exactly the opposite in a place like the Administration.
Which I definitely want to touch on in the fic with her and Nya, since while Kaida's first instinct is to fight (like a soldier) Nya's first instinct is to protect (like a samurai). And I want them to bond based on the differences and what they consider necessary about how to fight with their elements.

Oh, and the waterbending fight between Pakku and Katara looked really bad in the live action. They tried to recreate the one from the cartoon pretty closely but it looked a lot less dynamic - probably a limitation of the medium, but then it would have been better to change it up completely.

Oh & another thing I forgot to mention, it’s really sweet actually that Azula notices that Zuko is down & goes to check on him by the turtle duck pond. She does this yet again in The Beach too, at the old family home. This is why I stand by my characterization of Azula as someone who can be pretty empathetic under the right circumstances. She is cold & calculating in battle but when it’s someone she doesn’t view as an enemy she can also be quite sympathetic & kind.

So like... If Blue Spirit has a bounty on his head... But prince Zuko also has a bounty on *his* head...
If you capture Blue Spirit and unmask him and see is prince Zuko... Do you get both bounties or...?

I just remembered this but a while ago I mentioned to my brother that aang & katara have three kids and at first he was horrified (“aang is twelve!!!”) but then he said he thought there should be one girl, one boy, and one nonbinary kid, and that their names should be gert, geert, and gerda
