I don't think I've seen anybody talk about how absolutely insane The Boiling Rock is from Hakoda's perspective.

Imagine getting captured, and your son tells you that you won't be apart for too long. That's sweet, but obviously your son has no resources to spare for organizing a breakout. You hope that the Avatar can defeat the Fire Lord soon - that's the earliest time you could hope to be rescued.

You get put into a temporary holding facility until the guards can sort out who is who. After a while, they put you on a prisoner transport to the Boiling Rock. Your captors try to intimidate you by telling you that it's the highest security prison in the Fire Nation, probably the whole world. It's far away from the capital.

You arrive at the Boiling Rock. It really is in the middle of a boiling lake. There's only one way in or out, and it's a gondola that takes you above the boiling lake. You meet the warden. They take you to your cell. You settle down to wait for the end of the war.

And 15 minutes later Sokka comes in like "hey dad I'm here I got the prince of the Fire Nation and an Earth Kingdom ninja leader gf ok let's go I'm busting you out"

Boiling Rock is really so moving when you step back to think about it.

Because Sokka is brave, but not reckless. This is the one completely reckless move he made, impelled by love and guilt and the desire to protect the people he cares about.

So who comes with him? Zuko, the most reckless person we know.

Zuko, who knows exactly what it’s like to feel like you’ve failed the people you care about. Who doesn’t know where his uncle is, only that he couldn’t save him. This is Zuko wanting to prove himself, wanting Sokka to trust him, but it’s also a vicarious prison break. This is what he couldn’t do for his father figure, but maybe he can do it for Sokka’s.

And it’s the planner being reckless for once, and the reckless guy being forced to actually plan, even if neither of them come in with an exit strategy. They’re just building the bridge as they run across it the whole damn time.

They’re so stupidly brave and loving. They’re the best.

idc what you say aang was the #1 zukka shipper like the second the boys came back from boiling rock he just knew

like spirit cupid just sat on aang’s shoulder and whispered “they wanna make out so bad” in his ear and aang was just like “oh i agree.”

Broke: Saying the only reason Mai acted against Azula in the boiling rock was because of Zuko but that's okay

Woke: Saying that Mai was probably not the biggest fan of Azula in the first place because of her treatment of both herself and Ty Lee, but demonizing her for being selfish and not caring/ understanding Zuko's decision to leave the FN and join the Gaang

Bespoke: Realizing that although Mai's character and her relationship with Zuko was flawed, she genuinely cared about him and Ty Lee and she still has more of her journey to complete without being an accessory to Zuko's story

#it feels like people either respect mai or they respect katara #like guess what they are both allowed to be angry because they both have trauma and shit to deal with #so lets not compare them in order to invalidate their characters or certain ships #mai #zuko #the boiling rock #atla #avatar the last airbender #maiko

i wish that there was more time between the day of black sun and sozin's comet bc zuko's official desertion from the fire nation would have the most insane ripple effects (and it would be nice to see the gaang interacting a bit more than we got but hey i'll take what i can get)

zuko's desertion would have been essentially impossible for the fire nation to bury since it was such a big deal that he returned at all. so i imagine the smear campaign against zuko would have been craaazy. i think it would have been interesting for the gaang to try and deal with that when navigating the FN. zuko would be very recognisable i think at this point, and it would have made staying hidden much harder. would they still have chosen ember island? maybe the kids didn't recognise zuko and azula during The Beach , but with the prince of the fire nation committing treason would there be more wanted posters? would there be more talk around the island? would zuko have to remain hidden while the rest go out and get food?

i wonder if zuko deserting and very meaningly committing his loyalty to the avatar influenced other soldiers in the FN to also desert? or would it have had the opposite effect and made people feel more patriotic since zuko was banished, returned under the guise of having killed the avatar, and then left when aang announced his survival to world during the failed invasion?

SPEAKING OF THAT!! the rumours around this would be INSANE. we know what really happened, but the public don't. did zuko and the avatar plan this so that there would be an inside man during the invasion and then zuko used that chaos to escape? what really happened in ba sing se if zuko didn't kill aang, but azula thought that he did? (again: we, the audience know the truth, but the general public don't). if zuko and the avatar where working together... for how long? was iroh involved somehow since he also disappeared the same time that zuko did? did iroh get captured on purpose to be close to zuko to possibly help him if needed? did zuko break iroh out of jail or did one of the guards or was iroh alone? you could spiral on this as just an average person in the avatar world for years like. if youtube existed in atla imagine the video essays breaking down all the conspiracies

its a kids show so obviously Nothing Bad Happened BUT in the Boiling Rock, zuko getting found out as not only an imposter (already, a very bad situation), a traitor (extremely bad), AND the traitorous (ex) prince of the fire nation (devastatingly terrible) would have been... incredibly dangerous for zuko. in zuko and iroh's original wanted poster, the official translation says “Permission is granted to kill them on sight” and this was before zuko has gone right ahead and committed Treason On Purpose. the warden is not going to be nice. when the warden visits zuko in his cell he literally tells him "If these criminals found out who you are, the traitor prince who let his nation down, why they'd tear you to shreds." the boiling rock would be hell trying to survive. it also puts a lot more weight on zuko refusing to leave sokka in their first escape attempt. also ozai obviously knew that he has his son was in prison bc he... broke in to the prison bc azula was there but then zuko manages to escape with sokka (another imposter) and suki and hakoda (POWs) and chit sang (a prisoner) and two of azula's trusted friends end up in prison for treason as well i just. that is literally insane for the average person to hear about. again, THE CONSPIRACIES!!

when zuko eventually does take the throne there's a lot of conjecture around what zuko did while he was banished and moreso, what he did the second time he left, this time voluntarily. i think zuko's loyalty would be questioned a lot; by other world leaders who are understandably wary about the fire nation and its motivations, but also by its own people - some who believe that zuko is a traitor to his country and is trying to sabotage it since he helped end the war.

idk these are all just me rambling but it would been so interesting to explore the implications of zuko leaving the fire nation and how that would have impacted the gaang and how they interacted with others in their travels. there are so many fic where zuko joins the gaang early, but neither myself with the aus that I have written, nor many that ive read have explored this very much or at all.

“His fool desire to save his father from the bowels of the Boiling Rock prison without a plan, without help–it was only you who knew what Sokka was trying to do. And you stepped up. Sokka was brave enough to do something stupid for someone else, but he needed you, Zuko, to remind him that being brave can mean failing. Your experience with failure and your refusal to give up helped Sokka when he needed it most. And maybe you needed a bit of his foolhardy spirit to remind you that you are human too and that trying to do the honorable thing doesn’t always mean doing the right thing.”

#zukka #felt mushy have some the prince and the fool / boiling rock #their history <3 #they mean everything to me #the boiling rock #idiots in trouble to idiots in love #zuko letting go of being firelord for five minutes and wishing he was more like sokka

One small moment I always loved in ATLA, is when Sokka asks if Mai is the gloomy girl who’s always sighing and Zuko says, “yeah” all softly with a smile; like he genuinely finds that to be a truly endearing and lovely trait of hers.

I don’t know - I just always found that moment to be super cute and sweet.

Mai may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but she certainly is Zuko’s and that’s what love is all about.
