Question About Runaan and Ethari
Okay, I've had this question about these two for a while and decided to come here to see if anyone else has an answer. I've always wondered why, before Runaan and Ethari took in Rayla, they never adopted another child. One answer might be that they simply didn't want kids, but Ethari really seems like the person who would want to start a family.
Another thought that came to me was that maybe they saw Rayla as their daughter. But then I realized that the two took care of Rayla for years before her parents "abandoned" the dragon prince, meaning that Rayla always saw them as close uncles or second dads, but not fathers. And you have to remember that if Rayla's parents came back, she would start living with them. Runaan and Ethari know this and I don't think they would put themselves through the heartbreak of not having a child solely because that's what Rayla was to them.
The third thought I have is that because of Runaan's line of work. He isn't home as much as he would like to be, and depending on how old the child is, say perhaps a baby, this could prove to be a problem. Ethari has a job too. And maybe they feel like if they adopted an older child that they wouldn't be able to give it the love and attention that they would need. That's just some of my thoughts, what about you guys?

Hey, im a fan of Aaron ehasz and I love TDP. But when he confirmed that the possibility of season4 was brought out by nicklodeon, all the pro-brykes and anti-zutaras started rejoicing, thus stating their claims of how Aaron wrote mai and maiko moments is true, which I find, is absurd. But at the same time, I'm not sure. Did Aaron actually create mai and dealt with maiko?I hope not.
Yeah, I’m not sure why they thought they were right sincethey had previously considered Book 4 a conspiracy theory and a myth. It turns out to have been suggested at the studio level–and even the oldest accounts of Book 4′s existence concur with Ehasz that it was never put into production. As forthe Ehaszs being responsible for Mαiko, they did indeed write the beginning of the relationship–but did they support it? Did they depict it as healthy and loving? Let’s explore the episodes featuring Mαiko that they wrote, and see how the relationship is portrayed.
“Return to Omashu”(Elizabeth Ehasz): @darkeststar310 accurately summarizes Mαiand Zuko’s interaction as:
Mαi was already raring to go themoment Azula showed up; she even agreed before she knew what their objectivewas. Upon discovering that her task is to assist in hunting down and imprisoning her supposed childhood crush,she voices no objections, nor does her face display any concern or othernegative emotions. She actually smiles. What on earth could have beengoing through her mind???
“Man, it’ll be really great to see my boyfriend again before Icapture him and transport him to prison, presumably never to see or hear fromhim again. I bet the look of horror and despair on his face at what must surelybe an act of betrayal on my part will be really cute. I bet it will be a memoryto cherish as he languishes in prison, while I live out the rest of my life incomfort and luxury. :)”
And as to your last comment,  “Friends tend to do things weach other, and since these girls aren’t normal, hunting the avatar seems aboutright” - sure. For a trio of badass, noble Fire Nation girls,hunting down their nation’s biggest enemy would a really great bondingexperience.
Except.
Themission wasn’t to capture the Avatar. The mission was to capturePRINCE ZUKO AND IROH.
“Zuko Alone”(Elizabeth Ehasz), a summary by Peacockarehot: 
Mαiblushes at Zuko, and he doesn’t even look her way. If the intention was toportray them as “childhood crushes” why not have Zuko also look at Mαi andblush? … Further, if Zuko liked Mαi, why did Azula have to beg Ursa to FORCEZuko to play with them? This implies that Zuko did not usually play with hissister or her friends. In fact, the only time Zuko notices Mαi in hisflashback, is when he is forced to because Azula puts her in danger. If theintent was to tell us that Zuko liked Mαi, then I can say this episode did notdo that. 
“Going Home Again” comic(Aaroh Ehasz): My own commentary: 
I’m going to do an entirescene with the genders reversed so we can see this for ourselves. Thisparticular scene is from the “Going Home Again” comic. 
Zuko has been recruited byAzula to capture Mαi and deliver her to the Firelord, where she will awaitimprisonment and/or execution. However, before this can happen, Azula makes adeal with Mαi whereby Mαi sides with Azula against her uncle and helps takedown the Avatar. However, Mαi starts having second thoughts, so Azula concoctsa scheme to bring her and Zuko together.Keep in mind that at this point, Zukoand Mαi are not dating. They have one dinner together which is not the resultof a date night, but of Azula and Ty Lee conveniently not showing up. Theydecide to ditch the dinner and take a tour of the city. While walking, theycome across a guy that Mαi has previously gone out on a date with and kissedunder a fake name. Let’s call him Lee, and Mαi’s fake name will be Jin. Zukorealizes this, and gets a mischievous look on his face.
Mαi: Oh … Hi, Lee … Um … Er … This isjust my friend, my friend from … the circus. Yeah … He’s the knife thrower.Lee: Really?Zuko:[Pushing Mαi.] Here. I’ll show you. Gostand over there, Jin.Lee: [Folds his hands.] Hah! I hope he’sbetter at throwing knife than you are at juggling!Zuko: Hmm … Still not quite right … [Putsa frozen fish on Mαi’s head.] Better. [Zuko picks one ice from the fish case,throwing it toward her.] You see, it’s all in the wrist, really.Lee: [The ice pierces through the fish.]Wow! That was amazing!Zuko: You wanna try, Lee?Lee: [Excited.] Oh! No, I couldn’tpossibly … Well, maybe just one. [Mαi doubts, as Lee throws the icicle.] Mαidodges, slips, and splashes into the water fountain.Zuko [leaning over Mαi]: Now we’re even.[Seconds later …]Zuko: [Running.] Ha ha!Mαi: Are you crazy!? You could havegotten me killed!Zuko: Whatever, Jin.
That scene makes youuncomfortable, doesn’t it? It feels wrong for Zuko to be so domineering. Butbecause Mαi is a girl, she is let off the hook when the comics scenehappens, and is even praised for keeping Zuko in line, handling him, putting upwith him, etc. And if this were illustrated, it would be even worse.
“The Awakening”(Aaron Ehasz): From a metaby @theadamantdaughter:
Mαi:  Aren’t you cold? Zuko: I’ve got a lot on my mind. It’s been so long… overthree years since I was home. I wonder what’s changed. I wonder how I’ve changed. Mαi:  [yawns] I just asked if you were cold. Ididn’t ask for your whole life story. 
So,after three years of distance due to Zuko’s banishment and a very tumultousdecision to help Azula, Zuko wants to express his concerns about returninghome. A home where he was abused, burned, and banished. A home where he has noreal allies. A home where his abuser is acts freely and cruelly. Obviously, heassumes his girlfriend would be interested in comforting him, but Mαi immediately shuts him down.
Inany functioning, healthy relationship, you would expect this flood of feelingsand thoughts to met with sympathy or input or at the very least… a hand on theshoulder and a comforting hug. Instead, Zuko is basically told to shut up, toput up, to push the feelings away because they aren’t important enough to bebothered with. She disregards him and ignores him. … 
I seea lot of Mαiko shippers claiming that this is cute, that it’s just Mαi ,or at the very least, Mαi was joking. Any way you choose to delude yourself -it goes to show how little they understand each other.Mαi, who later in theseries and the comics, hounds Zuko about not being emotionally available,doesn’t understand, in that moment, that Zuko was trying to be open with her.
Plus, it’s a bit ridiculous that Zuko can’t delveinto his feelings whenever and wherever he feels like it with his supposedgirlfriend.Mαi should’ve immediately prompted him to keep talking, to keepsharing, to tell her what he needed to feel better. …
Idon’t care if they knew each other since they were kids. Zuko is not thatlittle boy anymore. His entire world was destroyed by his father, and then byhimself, and Mαi seems incredibly uninterested in the man that Zuko is now.She’s not even interested in hearing about the man Zuko is now.
Ok, now onto the next …
Wait, what? That’s it? 
Tumblr media
A smile at the thought of hauling Zuko back to the Fire Nation as a traitor, a glance and a blush from a ten-year-old girl that is ignored by her eleven-year-old crush, a rescue from a burning apple that Zuko would have done for Ty Lee as well, a date that was a setup by Azula and which culminates in Mαi literally committing assault on Zuko while encouraging Jin to do the same, and a boat ride during which Mαi yawns at Zuko when he tries to lean on her for emotional support. Did I miss something? (Seriously, if I missed something, I’ll be glad to add it in.)
I’ll finish off this summary with Peacockarehot:
I can’t help but get the feeling that Mαiwas intended to be a very different type of “love interest” for Zuko. I believe that she was originally going to be one of the many relationships Zuko had in the Fire Nation that were intended to be “toxic” like Ozai and Azula.Just judging by the way she was introduced to the story and her first in-show interaction with Zuko, I am going to argue that the decision to make her the endgame lover of Zuko was something that was decided very late. First impressions in stories are very important and Mai’s first impression is not flattering to a pairing the audience would feel supportive of.
  Nice work, team!

Can we talk about Soren? I want to talk about Soren.
(I may eventually talk about Claudia in another post but I’m not certain)
(also SPOILERS FROM TDP SEASON4)
-
-
-
-
So, I’m watching tdp from season 1 and knowing how things unfold, my stomach churns by seeing how Viren treats BOTH Soren and Claudia, but I want to focus on Soren bc he’s closer to my experience as the child of a narcissist parent.
Being the child of a NP (someone who’s emotionally immature and relies on their children to meet their needs), on your teen years, felt like walking on thin ice 24/7. I never knew what would trigger a critic, a snark comment about my body, my intelligence, my ability to compromise and to finish tasks, etc.
I was, more than once, called silly, dumb, aloof, to watch my weight, to watch how I dress, etc, etc. all of that coated with the premise of love, of “I’m teaching you how to do things”, of “I’m your tutor, your mentor, your only friend, your only safe harbor”, someone, the only one I could “rely on”.
This comes at the cost of the development of our sense of self-worth. As child of NP parents notice this, we’re taken by an anger, a strong desire to put up distance from NP and at the same time the utter panic of not being able to do it, being triggered when we get a message or a visit by NP. It's also very interesting to see how Soren and Claudia developed these issues in very distinct ways, but both triggered by being raised as someone who most likely is a NP.
Tumblr media
(look at him defying the idea that magic- the very craft of Viren, the sole identity of Claudia - is something all-positive to be ever-cherished)
Growing up, we learn that our mood revolves around our NP, and no matter what we do, we know we’ll never get the approval or even the sympathy of the NP. They carry the room with them, their needs, ideas and wants must always be a priority, even if it means dragging the house down.
I’ll quote this:
Tumblr media
“Until they have a need that’s being met.”
And here my Soren dam cracked in s4, and my heart races and my breath catches for a fictional little boy.
You should stop if you don’t want Spoilers of S4.
-
I had a really REALLY REALLY hard time when Soren finds Claudia and I anticipated that he would eventually find out Viren was alive, but I honestly wasn’t ready for his talk with Claudia, and I also have a few cents to spare.
Claudia tells Soren that “Humans understand suffering because it goes back over generations.”
Tumblr media
And Soren is trying to his deep, beautiful, bright core to break this cycle of resentment, violence and remorse. (mygod he’s so precious god help me)
Then, Claudia comes in with the (involuntary/naturalized) family blackmail.
“Without magic you would be dead. Without dad’s magic.”
Tumblr media
The guilty trip, being indebted, being trapped in the cycle, but we want out, and to hell with what we owe. We owe them nothing, because they took our sense of self and we build it from the entangled emotional mess that it is our heart.
I can see his face looking up at the image of his until-then deceased parent, I think I will carry this for a long while because I had no idea how it would affect me, but the fact is that more than once, a child of a NP parent will think of how things will be by the time the NP is “gone for good”.
Tumblr media
I give zero fucks if people think this is ungrateful, spiteful, selfish, mean, cruel, but the fact is that being stripped of your self-steem and of the ability to grow to the things you love, to grow to life, is the spiteful, selfish and mean thing.
When he tells Claudia that they don’t have to do what Viren wants, he’s expressing a well-known mixture of pain, guilt and relief by thinking the NP is dead.
They aren’t around anymore, the weight of their impossible standards are over, we are free from their grasp, we can pursue our passions, we can thrive in our relationships with people from out of our blood relatives circle. If it seems exaggerated, it’s because these are all things that the NP meet with cynicism. There is “no life, no real friends, nothing can replace your family”. And I say that’s bullshit.
Whereas I have relatives that I truly love, I have friends who have provided growth, patience, love and support, we have learned from each other, we have fought and forgive, we give each other space when needed, we are not seen as an extension of their self, we can be a proper person.
Can you understand how much this means to Soren? How much he thrives by being around Callum, whom is endlessly curious about magic but at the same time wary of it, by finding purpose in protecting Ezran and by fighting alongside Rayla. Soren knows and feels how he changed, he’s more confident to trust in his sense with animals (this is so beautiful too, I can’t even), and he is smart, he has such wisdom, and this is shown since s1.
I never understood people who treat him as a dumb annoying comic relief. He is the very soul of the changes that need to happen in the conflict between Xadia and Katolis, and I only hope that Viren eats an entire humble pie so he proves he’s not actually a NP and that he acts the way he does out of pure desperation and hubris.
I truly hope Viren sees his lovely, smart and incredible boy for what he really is, and not as an extension of his hurt self.
