Thinking about how Aang chose to save Zuko in the book 1 finale, and it's potential connection to Zuko's attempt to save Zhao.

Like, the last time Aang saved Zuko when he didn't have to and arguably should not have on account of, you know, being hunted by him, it led to the first sign of Zuko questioning his path (when hes obvs deep in thought and then turns away from the fire nation symbol). Aang's kindness started Zuko's entire arc. Aang actively inspires Zuko even if neither of them realize it.

Zuko had to know it was Aang who chose to save him at the NWT. With Aang already having done it once before and Zuko knowing Aang to be the most forgiving while the others never show any sign of seeing Zuko as more than the enemy, there's no way Zuko didn't put two and two together.

And later, in that same finale, Zuko chooses to reach out to the man who tried to have him killed. The man who put him in the position Zuko's constantly putting Aang in.

I can't help but wonder if it's not Aang's action that spurred Zuko on in that moment, at least somewhat.

I love when there’s a really bending heavy episode because you just KNOW Sokka is about to get the dumbest C plot

Don’t play with me now, this better be for real-

#they FINALLY made the right choice #logic wins #although I really hope this isn't him here #and its just a random guy from the Earth Kingdom #because I'm not feeling this design #he looks like a background character in that Metal clan #Zaofu?#or one of Kuvira's goons #but I'm willing to overlook it as long as they don't make him a basic stereotypical Earth-bending Muscle-head #if you watched the show you would know what I'm talking about #Avatar #LOK #ATLA

there are so many amazing and powerful benders in atla but what i love about zuko is that whether or not he can use his bending in that moment has zero (0) bearing on how much he’s going to absolutely kick your ass. no bending? that’s fine - he’s got swords. no swords or bending? that’s fine - he’s literally just going to beat you up. if you’re REALLY unlucky then you get all three. as a treat.

#like he’s surrounded by these amazing benders.#azula who’s a prodigy #the literal avatar #katara who mastered water bending in like -3 days #(literally iconic of her tbh)#and zuko IS a great firebender (his abilities as a firebender improve as his story progresses)#but it just absolutely cracks me up when i remember zuko will just. not use his bending sometimes #anyway zuko alone fight was special bc he really said i will use all three bc ur special 🤭#zuko #avatar the last airbender #avatar: the last airbender #atla #jack talks #where’s that post that’s like zuko is a prodigy but his special skill is breaking and entering and he can’t tell anyone about that

2 kinds of grad students (both massive nerds)

#id in alt text #avatar the last airbender #atla #sokka #zuko #zukka #<- seems like i may as well tag it. considering #sokkaxzuko #(secretly this is sokkaxsuki tho. just look at sokka’s hoodie)#modern au #art #mart #if you’re wondering why there’s only one pile of graded papers it’s because sokka saved that paper for last #bc the handwriting was so illegible #(and zuko is responding even tho sokka isn’t talking abt his work bc he’s touchy. bc he knows he isn’t ocean vuong)#also before anyone’s like ‘shouldn’t sokka be the one writing poetry?’ YES sokka also writes poetry but it’s like.#silly little rhyming poems #he would never do an mfa art is a hobby to him and he thinks getting a degree in it is a waste of time #but he doesn’t tell this to zuko bc zuko wasted so much time suffering in undergrad trying to pursue a ‘respectable’ degree #so sokka’s just like ‘okay. well he deserves this’

I’m so sorry other character stans but Toph Beifong is THE character of all time

Disabled, doesn’t “overcome” it but adapts and forces others to adapt instead.

Spoiled rotten rich kid with refined rich kid manners but chooses not to use them unless weaponizong them, can should and will kick your ass, but honest and good at her heart

A PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER EARTHBENDING MASTER AND HUSTLER AT AGE 12

Literally the definition of swag from womb to tomb

Do I even need to bring up metalbending?

INVENTED METALBENDING

Violence to show affection

Aang and Sokka quite possibly the only thing holding her back from straight up murder several times.

Definition of “do you want me to kill that guy for you? Cause it seems like he sucks. And I’ll totally kill that guy for you”

^ this is the real reason we never got a Toph and Zuko teamup, it would probably take her 3 minutes to convince Zuko to just kill his dumb lame dad already

I’m soooo sorry but she is UNMATCHED. Toph Beifong for President

#and also. don’t talk to me about cop toph that’s literally so fake #like they don’t know her like I do I’m sorry #GOD I wanted to be her so bad when I was 9 #atla

I must say I am thrilled people have gotten more creative with their relationships to fictional characters. he's not just my boyfriend he's also the dude I microwave on a daily basis. she's my wife but also the aluminum foil I wrap my baked potatoes with. they're my soup ingredients. my purse dog. we're inventing new kinds of guys every time we look at a character and I gotta say it's really diversifying the ecosystem

#makes categorizing however the fuck i feel about shin a whole lot easier let me tell you that #atlas talks

Thinking about Zuko's betrayal in Ba Sing Se in regards to Aang

Like don't get me wrong, I'll totally give that moment to the zutara shippers, Zuko's betrayal was mostly @ Katara

But there's also the fact that, prior to this, Aang saved Zuko's life multiple times. He disregarded the bounderies of enemies and showed Zuko the kind of kindness that someone might never be able to return. Zuko is still alive in that moment because of Aang. He is still alive because, despite everything, Aang wanted the best for Zuko. He is still alive because Aang believed Zuko's life was valuable and worth preserving.

And it is Zuko's actions that lead to Aang's almost literal death. What a fucking betrayal.

And why yes this thought was brought on by this ficlet by @my-cabbages-gorl

listen We Stan Uncle Iroh In This House etc etc but I gotta say, the decision to continuously interact with the Angriest Boy Alive via riddles he does not understand and often froths at the mouth upon hearing is definitely,,,,,, a choice

#iroh #zuko #a:tla #atla #sir. sir he has no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

‘why would zuko do that’ he is sixteen years old. ‘i don’t understand zuko’ are you or have you been sixteen years old. ‘zuko just makes bad decisions’ he is sixteen years old. ‘zuko burned down kyoshi island’ he’s literally sixteen years old. ‘zuko kidnapped a twelve year old and dragged him through the snow for hours’ yeah sure but he was sixteen years old. ‘zuko hired an assassin to capture aang, and said assassin went rogue and attempted to kill everyone’ yeah well he’s not good at critical thinking. he’s sixteen years old

#this post is a joke. i love zuko i would hit him with my car and then cradle his head like a dying baby deer #atla #zuko’s literally just a wet cat sorry. he’s not good at making decisions #this is a criticism of the ‘zuko can do no wrong’ ppl but ALSO a criticism of the ‘zuko is inherently bad and can never change’ ppl #two criticisms for the price of one post hehe #avatar the last airbender #prince zuko #zuko #talk tag

more jetko tomfoolery

#jet: have you ever seen a bitch so bad you wanted to kill yourself?#smellerbee: can we talk about something else. like when are you gonna get a job for example #also as for why i think jet and iroh would still have beef even if jet never saw him heat his tea....#i think jet would still find his vibes very off. and hed be right about that technically #and iroh wouldnt like jet because hes slimy and proud of it. and because he came over to their apt once and sat on zukos bed w his shoes on #he wants his kid to make friends. really he does. but why does this little punk have to be it.#jetko #jet #zuko #iroh #smellerbee #longshot #avatar the last airbender #atla #alicias art
