do it for uncle iroh

Avatar the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra theory

All the people who developed air bending after the Harmonic Convergence are actually descended from the airbenders who managed to escape the genocide and integrate

Essentially hiding in plain site

This whole theory stemmed from the one that TyLee was descended from air nomads

The show could have show it by having the first person we see discovering they have airbending be a someone we know is a direct descendant of an airbender someone like ya know Bumi

Here we have Zhao confirming that there were survivors to the fire nations initial attack on the air nation in ATLA: The Lost Adventures- Relics

So what if the Fire Nation thought they hunted down all the Air Nomads except the Avatar but there were actually more survivors

Since tattoos are the mark of an airbending master that means it was mostly the older airbenders that had them

aang being the exception because they pushed him to advance faster because they knew he was the avatar

So without the identifying arrow tattoos the younger Air Nomads could have managed to hide in the earth kingdom and maybe even Fire Nation like Hama after her escape

but ya know less revengey cuz air nomads

Not telling people you’re an air nomad would be like rule #1 on hiding so it makes sense that their descendants wouldn’t even know

Plus people didn’t even know there was a living airbender until 100 years after so at that point the ones who were alive wouldn’t even know who their ancestors were

The Harmonic Convergence was over 170 years after the genocide so the descendants definitely don’t have to have typical Air Nomad physical characteristics because they would be mixed

The reason that all Air Nomads were airbenders was because of their heightened spirituality but they no doubt couldn’t maintain that while hiding

Without that heightened spirituality Air Nomads stopped being born as airbenders

So Harmonic Convergence comes around and triggers like long dormant air bender genes in those descendants to try and restore the balance that Sozin disrupted

I think the reason that we can’t help but love Iroh is that he’s not just a sweet old man. He’s one of the most powerful characters in the show - he’s the Dragon of the West, he’s the man who besieged Ba Sing Se for nearly two years, he’s literally invented his own firebending techniques.

But what makes him so compelling is that he’s a character who has all this power, who’s experienced so much grief and loss, but who chooses kindness, compassion and wisdom. That’s what makes him really incredible.

that one scene in legend of korra when korra casually tells old zuko that she talked to uncle iroh in the spirit world and zuko, all gray hair and beard goes "you spoke with my uncle?" and his eyes go wide and he literally looks like that kid again that lit up whenever his uncle was around and you see in that split second just how much he still loves and misses him, despite the many years that have passed since he died.. God can i rest

I see all these jokes about the whole ‘Ba Sing Se people freaking out that Lee from the teashop turned out to be the Firelord’ like, bold of you to assume they were paying attention to service workers in the first place
