Amazing moments in Dads: my friend’s dad’s critique of Frankenstein was, “I just don’t think the author had read science fiction before.”

Victor Frankenstein after achieving the impossible and building a fucking person from scraps of the dead: Oh god, ew, ew it's ugly! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew! Ew! Yucky! Yucky! Gross! Ew!

Once when the gaang visits the Fire Nation, they’re all just on the side of too tipsy when Zuko leans in with the most grave expression imaginable.

“Aang,” Zuko says, “This has been… haunting me…. Why did your friends need to suck on those frogs?”

And Aang just gasps, and does not explain the frogs, because he has suddenly remembered that Miyuki is still wanted by the Fire Nation and that just won’t do. So Aang demands that Zuko pardon Miyuki for her crimes, which then gets the rest of the gaang to dogpile on and also demand justice for Miyuki. 

Zuko is willing to hear him out. 

…Zuko is significantly less willing to hear him out when Aang mentions that Miyuki is a cat.

(Zuko finds it difficult to believe that a cat is legitimately wanted by the Fire Nation)

But because they are all the worst, he relents and they all drunkenly stumble down to go find the records of Miyuki’s crimes and write her up a pardon, much to the chagrin of the night-shift archivist.

Zuko, staring blankly at Miyuki’s rap sheet:

The gaang:

Zuko:

Zuko: I don’t …. I don’t think I can pardon this…

Sokka: It can’t be that bad! Let me see-

Sokka:

Zuko: You see what I mean?

Toph: Is anyone going to tell me what it says or am I just going to have to wait in suspense?  

[desolationlesbian]

I’ve seen a post going around suggesting Zuko doesn’t know Aang’s name, which I believe is incorrect, so: blistering hot take, here is my general estimation on whose names Zuko knows by the time he asks to join in S3:

Aang: Zuko definitely know’s Aang’s name. This is because Katara has a habit of yelling it when he’s in danger, and also because once we get to S2 Aang’s been involved in enough antics that his name and appearance seem to be generally well-known within both the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation. He says “the avatar” when he first joins because even though he knows Aang’s name he doesn’t feel like they’re on that basis yet and he’s trying to be polite. No mystery here.

Katara: Zuko sort of vaguely maybe knows Katara’s name. He definitely knows who she is, having fought her enough times. He could recognize her on sight and if you asked him “hey, what’s the deal with that water tribe girl who travels with the avatar?” he could give you a reasonable summation of her bending ability (scary) and her personality (hates him, dead mom, weirdly nice sometimes). But her name? God, give him a minute. He’s definitely heard it before. 90% sure it starts with a C.

Sokka: Zuko knows there’s a water tribe guy who travels with the avatar and doesn’t seem to be a bender. Could not tell you his name if you put a gun to his head.

Toph: Zuko has no fucking idea who Toph is. 

[hollypunkers]

kind of obsessed with the idea of the rest of the gaang leaving Toph and Zuko to watch over some cooking food and when they come back its burned and Katara starts fuming but Toph and Zuko are like “we’ve never stepped inside a kitchen in our lives and only have one eye between us, if anything it’s your fault”

Top: If it bakes for 15 minutes at 350 degrees than it should only take 1 minute at 5,250 degrees

Zuko: I can do that

[paddy-nic]

Zuko: makes the "one eye, your fault" comment

Toph: YOU ONLY HAVE ONE EYE?!

Look, it’s a weird hill to die on, especially when I don’t really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.

Media for children used to be scary and that’s important.
