The Blue Spirit putting out firebending with a bucket of water is the absolute funniest thing ever done in avatar combat. It just is.
katara: *kicks zuko’s ass without even blinking* zuko:
I literally just watched this episode, and I’m sorry, but there’s one thing funnier:
Zuko couldn’t speak during this whole fight/escape in case someone recognized his voice. Can you imagine the frustration he must have felt having to go through an entire fight without yelling? Zuko???
Especially while dealing with Aang’s shenanigans?!?!?!
One of my favorite parts of rewatching the episode is imagining everything that must have been going through Zuko’s head during that escape.
Aang: Wait! My friends need to suck on those frogs!
Zuko, trying not yell out of anger and confusion:
It gets funnier when you think that he could absolutely, no problem go through a battle without yelling once, as seen here and yet chooses to be a dramatic gay and holler at the top of his lungs at every opportunity.
That says a lot about how he firebends vs how he fights with the dao blades.
He actually can’t, at this point, fight without yelling if he’s using firebending. In The Firebending Masters, he says he’s been relying on anger and rage to fuel his bending, so yeah, in every firebending fight, he’s drawing on rage and hyping that up by yelling. Someone has pointed out that after he finds the original source of firebending, he stops yelling all the time - I haven’t checked that personally but it does seem accurate.
But he doesn’t need to draw on fury to firebend when he’s the Blue Spirit. He can fight in total silence when he’s working with a weapon he’s more in touch with, when he doesn’t need to draw on hate or anger to fuel it.
I am SO curious where he learned to fight with the swords. I can’t imagine he got much training in martial weapons as a kid – he’s ROYALTY, he’s a firebender, and the focus we see on them practicing forms from a young age (and Zuko being expected to do an Agni Kai at 13!) make me think it’s likely there would have been a lot of disdain for something as pedestrian as swords. Also– @atlaculture didn’t you do something on how the split swords are a peasant weapon?
Seems like something he must have picked up after his exile, but he’s so prideful and so obsessed with “proving himself” to Ozai, I can’t imagine he’d dare to experiment with that on his own. Maybe Iroh introduced it to him? Practicing sword forms or sparring would have been a good way for him to build back muscle after what had to be a long convalescence from the burn, but without the trauma of firebending again so soon.
(You can’t convince me Zuko didn’t have some pyrophobia after the Agni Kai, and probably a heaping dose of shame along with it, because he’s the prince of the Fire Nation, he’s a fire bender, how pathetic is it for him to be afraid of fire? And yet he has to suppress a flinch every time fire gets too close, especially near his face)
Yup! Zuko’s dual swords are for civilian use and called niuweidao, meaning “oxtail sabers”. Historically, these sword were relatively cheap to acquire, due to their thin blades typically being made of low-quality metal that was easy to mass produce:

The consequence of them basically being the McDonalds of swords is that they were popular with all different kinds of poor people. The most interesting ones being… theatre troupes! Because these swords were relatively affordable, they were often used for stage and street performances. (And because the tropes of theatre carry into modern cinema and TV, you also see the niuweidao overrepresented in most kung fu-inspired media as well.)
Anyways, I bring this up because Zuko is very much a theatre kid, so maybe his sword skills actually come from observing actors using the sword and imitating them? Better yet, maybe his mother secretly taught him to use the niuweidao to boost his self-esteem? After all, she is a former theatre actress, according to the comics. It would certainly explain why it’s a skill he possesses but not Azula/Ozai/Iroh.
It would also explain why Zuko thought he could get away with hanging them on his wall as decorations. It would be like decorating your room with a Phantom of the Opera mask.

Please offer your support to Sami @samy-family11 and his family in Gaza. They urgently need the funds to evacuate to Egypt. And to buy diapers, milk and blankets for their baby. They were retained by the IDF but they were subsequently released. They currently have no tent to live in and have to endure the cold harsh winter in Gaza. Imagine having to sleep in the streets during extremely cold weather, with no tent to live in, and you see your own baby numbingly cold with no winter clothes or milk to drink.
While you have the privilege of being warm and comfortable in your home, preparing for the holidays. These people have to go through some of the most inhumane, soul shattering and painful things that should not be allowed to even happen in the first place. But very thankfully, you can help them out.
Please, pitch in. I beg you to share, donate, reblog. Even if you donate just a small amount, it would help them out immensely. If you can’t aid financially please do whatever alternative you possibly can. Together, we can all help this amazing family achieve their goal at gaining the beautiful life that they wholeheartedly deserve.

ELOISE BRIDGERTON & PENELOPE FEATHERINGTON SEASON 1 / SEASON 3
I am in TEARS this is hands down the funniest Bridgerton tweet
i am vibrating in my seat waiting for francesca's season bc we'll get francesca x michaela but i'm also stopping myself from crying bc it means we'll lose francesca x john
Bridgerton could do the funniest thing ever and let us have three queer seasons in a row.
Benedict's season with Sophie as a trans woman
Francesca's and Michaela's season
Eloise's season when she realize shes a lesbian and we switch Philip with Marina or something
BRIDGERTON | Season 3, Episode 8, “Into the Light”
anthony in season 3 pt 2 was the funniest bitch ever i love you please never change
If you're the music, I'll be the dancer
out of curiosity for how much straight white tears we'll see those people crying out, i'd love if bton would make sophie beckett genderqueer or genderfluid
on one side, i see people crying straight tears about francesca in a sapphic relationship for her season and on the other side, i see people invalidating francesca's bisexuality and saying that her relationship with john is comphet.
i can never win.
once again begging shonda for sapphic eloise bridgerton but please not with cressida. sorry guys i just don't like cressida and eloise yuri
#what's wrong with him ?//:??!!??!!//
Greetings,
Please save what's left of my family
I write to you with a heavy heart and hope that you are well and safe. My family has been through difficult days, and the situation is worsening day by day. I hope you can help save my family so they can live in safety and that my campaign to get them out of the brutal conflict zone outside Gaza succeeds.
In the blink of an eye, some members of my family disappeared from me forever! Just like that, without farewell or notice...
* I lost my father, my support and security, a kind man who gave tirelessly and expected nothing in return. He was my pride and joy, compassionate and generous. You left without a farewell, my heart's delight, my pain.
* I lost my niece, the beloved of my heart and soul, who came and went lightly, with a pure spirit.
* I lost my niece, wise beyond her years, with a tender heart and beautiful smile, pure and clear as snow.
But I do not want to lose anyone else in my family. O people of pure hearts, please help me bring the rest of my family to safety.

Please donate if you can and share our story widely as you're able to🙏🙏
how is it that the bridgerton fandom feels more divided than the genshin fandom and almost all of the other fandoms im in the fuck 😭
i think the reason why eloise is in the lower ranks of my bridgerton fave characters is because she reminds me of white feminists sometimes
