Now I haven't read the comics (and I don't think I will), but I wish Azula were able to get a happy ending just as Zuko did

The abuse that she faced may not have been as loud and apparent as Zuko's, but it's still there. She was still a child who needed someone in her life to support her

Again, I've only heard bits and pieces of what happens to her in the comics, and they don't satisfy me at all

Anyway, ATLA movie leaks have gotten me to rewatch the series and remind me about how much I deeply care about the cast and how some of them didn't get happy endings :(

[lunar3se]

Ok, I decided to do a small dive into them uh WTF DO YOU MEAN THEY ESSENTIALLY REPLACE AZULA WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER, THUS GIVING ZUKO A NEW SISTER, HUH?????????

Oooooooooh don't piss me oooooooofffffff, screw these comic writers actually, what the hell??????

"Can't give Azula a proper redemption, so let's just replace her!! YAY!!!".....

This is BS!! >:I

//Sighs Every day I sit here wishing Jet hadn't died in ATLA. Actually, I imagine he'd could've joined the gaang with how Suki did if he survived...

Maybe in another universe...

Some people who watched Book 1: EP 17 have the idea that the air temple should've been kept the way it was, and that the refugees should've left, but I think that's a very poor way of looking at it First, I get Aang and his anger/negative feelings towards seeing his people/his culture being erased in such a way, that I for sure agree with. I agree that the refugees did a poor job of respecting the living space they took up. However, the idea that the refugees are somehow terrible or vile for deciding to live in what they see as a deserted place and build on top of it is a bit ridiculous. I say this cause I believe people are forgetting that Aang's existence is an anomaly in the current time. Most people who would've lived when the Air Nomads existed are either extremely old (Bumi) or are dead! Thus, none of the refugees would've ever thought of preserving a culture of people they've never interacted with; none of them would've ever thought an airbender would suddenly return to the world! It's the last thing on their mind, especially when this is a group of people trying to escape the harm of the Fire Nation! They don't have time to think of the preservation of a culture!

Speaking of, I think we need to understand that preservation of history/historical artefacts is a privilege! In times of war, it would be the last thing on anyone's mind. I believe that keeping history is a very good thing, but again, it really is a privilege, and to this day, a lot of people still don't have If there's anything I would've liked from ATLA about the issue, I think I would've liked it if Aang got time to properly collaborate with the refugees to restore the temple, while also helping them have a space where they can comfortably live TLDR: I think people have extreme opinions about that EP that lean to either side and don't understand the nuances about/don't look for a balance between them (" u u)

Starting to think that a lot of people who are discussing about ATLA, haven't actually watched or paid close attention to the show...

Ok but coming back to the calla lily thing, I've just considered that the placement of the lily (around Loki's neck, it's a collar) could also be interpreted as a burden. On one hand, it is canon that Loki hates hurting people and, in a sense, that makes him much more miserable, his moral code and guilt strangling him in a way Thanos couldn't, on the other hand, it is the innocence his abusers sense in him that draws them in to him (almost all of his abusers, including Odin and Mobius, call him a "child", a "champ"/"kiddo", a boy left out in the snow, all while he's an adult) but at the same time, and I find it even more plausible, it could be interpreted as a different kind of burden: he can never be innocent enough. All of the characters and the narrative itself tells him: you're not innocent enough to be saved. You're not innocent enough to be loved. To be cared about. Never mind controlled and tortured enough to be absolved of punishment, never abused enought to deserve a right to be unhappy about the abuse, never trafficked around enough to be considered a victim, never innocent enough, but what is enough? Can he ever be pure enough to deserve a right to be safe?

And how is it he is always innocent enough for this innocence to be stolen from him?

After all, the petals of the lily got smaller and more damaged each time a new abuser got their hands on him.

Honestly, the lily being the only thing "protecting" his neck and yet it also being a collar, and therefore something that can be suffocating and restricting is such an interesting thing, I could write an essay about that-

[lunar3se]

It's interesting how the area around his neck is constantly affected in different ways

The Calla Lily design is a way of protection, but also suffocating him. The way he ends up dying is via his neck being snapped, another form of suffocation... Oh! And the collar he gets in LS :T But there's another thing as well, in a lot of scenes with him and MCU!Thor, we see Thor having his hand resting on the back of his neck. It's to me that it's Thor's way of affection towards Loki, as we've seen in that one deleted scene for the first movie, but when we get to A1, it's almost threatening. Mind you, Thor hasn't done this to anyone besides Loki, at least from my recollection (Ok sure, he did grab Tony by the neck, but it's not the same lol)

Point is, MCU!Loki's neck area is the site of any and all abuse and control he's faced across the different movies/series in the MCU. It never turns back to affection of any sort :(
