THE WORM TURNS (1937)
katara: i forgive you
zuko:
zuko: statistically speaking that was not the outcome i prepared for
The tragedy of Zuko is that he spent years rehearsing for a trial and accidentally wandered into a redemption arc.
Goodnight out there, whatever you are.
Defenestration comes from the Latin de(down from) and fenestra(window), which is a highly civilised way of describing the act of throwing someone out of one. The city of Prague became so proficient at this form of political communication that historians eventually had to start numbering the occasions on which it occurred.
In 1618, several Catholic officials were thrown from a castle window and survived. Their supporters called it a miracle. Their opponents pointed out the large pile of manure below. The disagreement eventually helped trigger the Thirty Years' War.
History occasionally turns on profound ideological differences.
It also occasionally turns on whether someone landed in shit.
The Flagellants were bands of religious penitents who travelled from town to town during the Black Death, publicly scourging themselves with whips. They believed the plague was divine punishment and that sufficient repentance might persuade God to lift it. An invisible disease is a difficult enemy to confront. One's own back, by contrast, is considerably easier to reach.
Furta Sacra, or Holy Theft, was the medieval practice of stealing a saint, or rather his leftover bones, from one church to enrich another. Thieves weren't troubled by the commandment against stealing, because they had devised a tidy loophole: if the theft succeeded, the saint had clearly wished to be taken. The dead, conveniently, do not object. It's remarkable how easily a crime becomes a blessing once the victim is in no condition to disagree.
Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
Directed by, Guillermo Del Toro
rewatching ATLA and one of the most compelling things about zuko’s character is that he takes the barbed comments he receives in stride like, he literally does not react…and imo it speaks to his self-assuredness, or perhaps a kind of acceptance…sorry to unceremoniously drop into your askbox, do you have any thoughts about this?
I think I'd attribute it to habituation rather than self-assuredness. By the time we meet him he's already internalised the idea that he's utterly inadequate. He doesn't have any self-image left to defend, and barbed comments only have power when they introduce a possibility you haven't already considered. He's heard the worst from people whose opinions mattered the most to him, so he isn't surprised by overt cruelty. Any insult is absorbed because it confirms a narrative he believes about himself.
It's worth saying that he does still react (he's hot tempered and gets visibly angry) but he's never destabilised by it. He can be furious and completely unmoved at the same time.
It's bleak as hell, but it's also why his arc is peak, because he doesn't get better at deflecting but he does dismantle the beliefs that made him agree with it in the first place.

i love the ambience of this game. i don’t think i’ll ever get over it
Sometimes a family is just a priest forced out of his comfortable life by the plauge, a disgraced knight trying to redeem himself of sins he commited in a band of highwaymen and a mysterious girl who may or may not be a conduit for the word of the divine...
...and that's alright
