zuko + iroh hc that ever since the agni kai with his dad zuko was a really light sleeper but while they were in ba sing se he would fall asleep on chairs or leaning on countertops and be out like a light (not a single thing would wake him up) so iroh would pick him up and move him to a pallet in the tea shop kitchen and cover him with a blanket (a side effect of the fever is that he's always so cold) and whenever anyone asked where he was iroh would say "my son is asleep in the back. how can I help you?" and eventually everyone who came in just assumed they were related

Have you been to China in the past 3 years? I really want to go cause my grandma in Chengdu is getting older and I haven't been in a long time.
No, and the airfare these past few years has been insane anyway. My grandparents have all been dead for a while now. I'd like to go back again with my parents at least once more but it's harder to find a reason/time to go back as an adult, I guess, although I'd really like to!
I haven't been back since 2014 🫠 although I was lucky enough to go back pretty regularly during the summers as a kid (even if I didn't appreciate it much back then 💀).

Our people nowadays are so bred up to bustle and ostentation, that good nature, moderation, equability, constancy, and such like quiet and obscure qualities, are no more thought on or regarded.
