doing another atla rewatch and been dying to get back into animating so emo sonboy brooding it is
there is no li//ve act//ion avatar in Ba Sing Se
one aspect of avatar canon i feel like isn't talked about nearly enough is the fact that zuko canonically has prophetic dreams
like during zuko's Morality Coma in season 2 he has an incredibly vivid dream about two red and blue dragons, and then in season 3 he just fucking. meets the exact same dragons for real? there are slight differences in how they look but otherwise he genuinely just dreamed about ran and shaw months before actually seeing them in person? and it's never elaborated on but huh???
zuko: yeah i had some weird fever dreams. there were like these two dragons circling me, and the blue one sounded like azula and wanted me to die or whatever, and the red one sounded like you and was telling me not to do that—
iroh, the only person in this house who should know what those fucking dragons look like: hey What
zuko for sure keeps having dreams like this for YEARS without connecting the dots that it's weird spirit shenanigans. aang eventually has to point it out to him and even then he thinks it's Uncle Bullshit for several more years
so what you’re saying is—
Zuko, freshly scarred: I had a dream that Uncle and I were clinging to a piece of driftwood for weeks before we ended up at a lovely spa and tended to and all my injuries were healed up
Iroh, years later, on week two of driftwood era: maybe I underestimated the sense of humor that the spirits have
a collection of my fav tags on this post--
#I think there are explanations other than prophetic dreams but this is funnier#like for example him looking in the mirror and seeing air nomad tattoos is probably#just a manifestation of his anxiety around helping aang and what that means about him#but considering Zuko's grandfather is a former avatar and he later joins aang#that is a very funny dream for him to have#I vote Zuko has been having prophetic dreams this whole time but they involve a lot of symbolism#and he Does NOT do symbolism#so he's just like hm. yeah that was weird#and then when life poetically mirrors his prophetic dreams he doesn't even notice#This never comes up during his life time but some historian eventually uncovers his dream journal and finds it pretty blatantly#predicts every major event from his lifetime and beyond#and it ignites massive debate about how this foreknowledge was affecting his decisions as a head of state#hint: it wasn't (@an-android-in-a-tutu)
#listen not to read too much into the one line about love among the dragons#but zuko definitely knows about poetic symbolism but he doesn't believe in prophetic dreams due to thinking it's old man stuff for his uncle (@rogha)
#zuko thinks the curtains are blue and nothing else#prince ‘…which could mean nothing’ zuko (@averagemrfox)
#apollo throws the dodgeball and it just bounces off zuko @noccolibroccoli)
#Zuko being the spirit’s favored Normal Human (along w Sokka)#and him doing absolutely nothing with it#bc it never strikes him as relevant#(as opposed to Sokka who knows about the spirits but actively chooses to ignore them)#(out of spite and non-belief) (@seaglassdinosaur)
#sokka who had Multiple close encounters with spirits. still thinks they’re total bs#🫱🏽🫲🏼#zuko who has prophetic vision and thinks they’re total bs (@aneclecticmoonchild)
#zuko 🤝 sokka#yes I've had encounters with the supernatural no I don't believe in it (@emkini)
#he's that guy#the one who has prophetic visions but also impostor syndrome so he's like 'ugh it's just weird dreams'#'prince zuko have you considered maybe you have a gift--'#'there's only one gifted child in this family and she's a massive pain and also better than me at everything actually' (@aethersea)
#zuko gets into a coma everytime he makes a right decision bc the spirits gotta congratulate him somehow#they’re proud#do good and see the future as an exchange (@newbie-i-guess)

on account of today's temperature reaching 33° im bringing back the most iconic moment of 2024 aka the GQ China Heatstroke Photoshoot

So I read both Muffinlance's "Salvage" and the time travel version, where Salvage!Hakoda time-travels to before Kya dies and adopts baby Zuko, and it got me thinking of a reverse version. Imagine a Zuko and Azula from an au where they were adopted by Hakoda, somehow getting sent back in time into the bodies of their child selves from either just before or just after Lu Ten died but before Azulon orders Ozai to kill Zuko and they both decide screw it they aren't waiting around for whatever happens next and they certainly aren't gonna suffer through several more years of ozai's sorry excuse for parenting when they have a perfectly good dad and siblings waiting for them and so they quickly pack their bags and book it to the south pole just in time to save Kya from the southern raiders at which point they proceed to pull a reverse adoption on a very confused hakoda and kya. They also, of course, get a jump start on that whole ending the 100-year war thing by freeing aang from the iceberg and gathering up the gaang several years ahead of schedule
"That," Azula says, and they both pretend she is doing so with the dignity her carriage coveys, not the adorableness that is her seven-year-old voice, "is exactly the sort of short-sighted plan I would expect from a doddering geriatric like you."
Zuko allows this insult to pass with decades of experience. As his body is currently nine, he does this with a certain inherent smugness.
"...Regardless," his little Actual Baby of a sister continues, from her chubby baby face, "you go south and secure our new familial alliance.
"I," she says, lightning sparking from her little fingertips, "will stay here, and discontinue our previous paternal contract."
"...You're just trying to secure the throne for yourself."
"YES I'm trying to secure the throne, you already had a turn, do NOT make me involve mother in this."
As she stamps her tiny foot, Zuko reflects that, perhaps, time traveling into ones' significantly younger bodies may be having some... developmental consequences.
He also reflects that they have a mother. Then he throws back his head, and yells.
"MOM! AZULA IS TRYING TO TAKE MY THRONE! I HAD IT FIRST!"
Ok I've watched the episode about Jet, and I know this will never happen, but please. I beg you imagine an interaction between Jet and Zuko.

#i need them to get into an ugly physical altercation STAT#pleeeaaseee i need them to meet so bad and then i need to munch popcorn while watching what goes down... the potential tHE POTENTIAL#i hate them /aff#man how i wish they weren't one-off quest characters *sigh* i wanna see bhumi and suki and haroo and-
Well. I watched The Serpent's Pass and I am being FED. Now to see how long it takes for these two to get into a swordfight...
Also, Suki's back!! Bhumi also reappeared in an earlier ep!
This may or may not be interpreted as a ship; I simply like how they look together, platonically or not.
I see..............
They say the Southern Air Mountain is haunted….
After being warned not to, Katara and her brother seek a mysterious monk named Aang to help her contact the spirit of her late mother….but when they call upon the spirits….who….or what…… Do they invite in???
people talk a lot about how wild shit would have gotten in the fire nation if zuko had joined the gaang at the end of season 2 but i think we’re ignoring that there’s a solid chance that in “The Runaway” zuko and toph would have ended up committing actual highway robbery
katara: can you believe the rest of them? you’re the only other person responsible enough to know not to pull these ridiculous scams–
zuko: oh, sokka said i’m not allowed to
katara: what?
zuko: i suggested a thing i used to do all the time when uncle and i were on the run. i don’t know why sokka didn’t like it, it’s the simplest scam ever
katara:
katara:
katara:
katara: do i want to know
zuko: it’s the one where i point my swords at somebody and they give me all their money. worked every time.
zuko: [is asleep]
toph, earthbending him to the top of the hill away from the rest of the group and then kicking him awake: rise and shine sokka’s asleep let’s go rob some people
zuko, pulling his dao out of his sleeping bag: sick let’s go
i LOVE this because it resolves the whole “everyone else got a fieldtrip with zuko” thing and then the Zuko Bonding Trips would just keep escalating like:
1. Straight Up Robbery w Toph
2. Breaking into Ancient Sacred Temple w Aang
3. Breaking In and Out of Prison w Sokka
4. Murder Vengence Mission w Katara
