atla | zuko | wait for it

Sadly, this is as HD as the ATLA episodes get, but I hope you give the video a shot anyway and maybe experience some of the emotions I had making it.  Big thanks to @worddevourer for having this idea and my twin sister @splickedylitfor consulting with me during its creation!

Song: Wait For It from Hamilton Show: Avatar - The Last Airbender

[toastyglow]

quick self-reblog because I’m still proud of this one, with the obligatory addendum: this is not an exercise in casting Hamilton with ATLA characters, but rather an exercise in twisting the meaning of the song to fit ATLA.  Zuko may be impatient, but he’s also tenacious in the extreme; think of “waiting for it” in this context as “hanging in there until it pays off”.

AU where Zuko realises very early into his banishment that he’s been sent on a hopeless goose chase and, actually, he doesn’t want to return to the oppressive Fire Nation and his abusive father. And he sticks with this decision even after Aang wakes up from the iceberg

Except then Aang meets Zuko - probably when Zuko jumps in to save someone, because his sense of justice is too strong to just sit back while someone is hurt, even if he is trying to remain apolitical - and his brain goes “!!!!” Because that’s a good firebender. They do exist. And now Aang knows someone who can teach him firebending without trying to kill him

Except Zuko wants nothing to do with the Avatar. He especially doesn’t want to get entangled with his father’s war. So the rest of the season is about Zuko running from the Avatar, and Aang and co trying to capture the reluctant ex-Prince of the Fire Nation so he can be Aang’s firebending teacher

                                                                                                                                #oh how the tables have turned #ok but the thought of aang chasing zuko around like ‘pls teach me fire bender sifu!!! you’re so talented!!! teach me your wayyyyys!’ #while zuko does his best to avoid this overpowered puppy and his friends #is both hilarious and adorable #my posts #avatar #atla #atla headcanons #idk where iroh is in this AU #but he was probably a key component in helping zuko get to that point of acceptance #maybe he and zuko have a travelling tea shop

The obvious solution: Zuko’s naval vessel has been converted into a traveling tea shop.

[captainkirkk]

They convert their naval ship into a floating tea shop oh my god

[silverlightraita]

The Gaang ends up stopping by the tea shop one time not realizing it’s Zuko and Iroh’s ship and spot Zuko but Zuko is like “this is the busiest time of day on our busiest days at one of the busiest ports. I do NOT have time for this.” So he plays dumb. Like really dumb.

The Gaang: It’s Zuko!

Zuko, trying to ignore them: Who’s Zuko?

The Gaang: … You are? You look exactly like him.

Zuko, starts sweating: Nope. I’m Lee. Humble tea server.

The Gaang: Then how you get that scar?

Zuko, sweating more: A wild tea accident. Very bizarre.

[tophagentofchaos]

Toph, who knows he’s lying but is an agent of chaos: Lee? I remember you! You came to visit my town a few times. Do you still carry that lovely Jasmine tea?

Katara: Toph isn’t your town landlocked?

Toph: Yes, your point?

Katara: This tea shop is a giant naval vessel??

Zuko, panicking: THIS VESSEL CAN FLY

Toph: Yes, exactly.

Sokka: …Katara, let it go. Let’s just get our tea and get out of here before Aang finds out that–

Aang, sprinting over to them: ZUKO?

Toph, without missing a beat: No, this is Lee, humble tea server who got his scar in a wild tea accident.

Aang: What? No it’s not, it’s–

Toph: I can tell when people are lying Aang. Are you calling me a liar?

[hollowsentinel]

So I haven’t watched enough to know if it’s in character enough, but would Zuko attempt to not make a liar out of Toph? At least regarding the flying vessel bit? Would Toph lord over Zuko about how she helped him out? Not to the point of extortion, just big smug vibes?

[tophagentofchaos]

Zuko, pulling Toph aside: Miss, I appreciate the help, but I’m in a bit of a bind. This is not, in fact, a flying vessel.

Toph: Yes it is. *metalbends it into the air*

Zuko: *softly but with feeling* what the fuck.

[logo-comics]

Toph creates an entire flame-powered propulsion system for the ship solely for the sake of causing chaos.

Those posts about how you’re allowed to ignore news if its triggering is valid to an extent but seeing one while my country is in the middle of a massive and unprecedented disaster fucking hurts. More than a dozen people are dead, more are missing and half a billion animals have been incinerated.

You cannot stick your head in the sand when an entire country is in crisis

The American dollar is far stronger than the Australian, so here is an article and tumblr post with links to how you can donate, even a small donation on the part of an American will go a long way here

If you haven’t heard there is a literal massacre going on in Sudan.

People are getting kidnapped, arrested, raped and killed. This has been going on for a few days now but naturally there’s hardly any media coverage.

THE WORLD CARES MORE ABOUT AN EMPTY CHURCH IN FRANCE THAN HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT BLACK MUSLIMS DYING IN SUDAN.

There are a few ways to help:

 - Emergency Medical Aid Donation

- Facebook campaign raising funds for food and other necessities

- International Rescue Committee

- Save The Children

Even if you can’t donate please help spread the news!!

#SudanMassacre

[sugarseros-deactivated20221026]

here’s a few more additions i found from twitter bc some people still don’t understand the extent of this massacre

[dreyblr]

This situation in Sudan makes me so so so so so mad and angry because they CUT OFF the Internet so people can’t say what’s happening there and they rely on US to be SAVED because they’re currently living a NIGHTMARE they can’t even go to the streets NORMALLY and they can’t do ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE IS NO INTERNET. THE SUDANESE PEOPLE RELY ON US. DO SOMETHING.

Here’s how you can help:

Donate to the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees: https://donate.unhcr.org/int/south-sudan/~my-donation

Donate to the Sudan Relief Fund: https://sdnrlf.com/campaign-cat/featured/ 

Donate to the International Medical Corps for Sudanese Medical Aid: https://www.gofundme.com/f/sudanese-medical-aid

Share share share share!!!!!

They count on us!! If you know any other way we can help, please tell me!!
