Watching atla as an adult (barely, I'm 19):
Katara (voice-over): We met Aang... and I believe one day he can save the world
Me: That's a twelve year old child!!!
Sokka: I am a man, and it is my job to protect my whole family
Me: You Are A Child!!!!
Zuko: I am commanding this ship and I will find the Avatar and I need to learn how to fight and...
Me: YOU ARE A CHILD!!!
happy pride here's a compilation of sokka's queerest moments
happy pride
An old hc (but tumblr wont let me reblog the post?? that i made?? tumblr plz??):
Zuko, nervous about sitting for his Fire Lord portrait, has been avoiding it for months. Consults have not gone well: the artists his council have brought in are highly praised for their skill and not without merit, but initial sketches minimize the scar, or draw him from an angle to hide it. Another reminder that the world views the evidence of his past struggles he fought to overcome as something shameful to be hidden.
Another reminder of how many in his nation would like to sweep their bloody past under the rug instead of rising to the challenge of fixing it.
At some point he confides his frustrations with Sokka. Sokka is always so clear-headed and no-nonsense about practical things, and he has studied art himself somewhat, though his own skill remains hobbyist at best. But a second opinion couldn't hurt. Maybe Zuko is just making this into a bigger issue than it actually is.
Sokka listens as Zuko vents his frustration, nodding along while flipping through the sketches. When Zuko finally runs out of steam and turns to him for his wisdom, he snorts and tosses the papers into the burn pile on Zuko's desk. "Nah, these are trash. I got something better."
What he brings to the palace a few week later, fresh out of the workshop, is a funky little box that Sokka swears up and down will just make a picture happen! Well, okay, the process is a little more involved than that, but the point is that it takes way less time than sitting for portrait painting sessions for several weeks and the result is like looking in a mirror!
So Zuko agrees to let Sokka work whatever mad science he’s cooked up with this funky little box (“it’s not going to explode, is it?” “Hey! The only inventions of mine that exploded are the ones I designed to do that!”) and while Sokka is setting it up he’s just yapping away about the different versions he’d tried before, and the process of getting from those first little plates of silver-on-glass to this. Zuko doesn't realize he's sitting there, smiling fondly at his friend until Sokka turns around and says, “Perfect, stay just like that!”
A couple weeks after that Zuko gets a package delivery of a framed cabinet card. In the picture his face is open, full of affection and unguarded joy, and it’s the first portrait in all of the history of Fire Lord portraits to wear a truly happy expression.
(This understandably sparks something of a craze.)
She's going to (lovingly) destroy Aang's ass off screen
(full art on twt)
not gonna blorbify it on the actual post but this post about someone's current partner ganging up on them with their dead wife is 100% bato and kya. hakoda starts a sentence like "kya would've - " and then shuts his mouth and bato's like "she would've agreed with me right" and hakoda's like "...yeah..." hakoda gets injured going animal riding with aang and bato just looks up at the sky like "kya your husband is being an idiot again"
this takes place early in zuko’s reign while he’s still trying to figure out what’s the person he needs to be for his people and sokka really goes there and says “they don’t need you do be anything but yourself”
3am bro, put the screwdrivers down alrdy
Rewatching Book 3 of ATLA and cringing at how dumb the Iroh fanservice plot twists are:
"Iroh lied about killing the last dragon before Zuko was born because he wanted to protect them! They actually deemed him pure of heart and worthy to learn the truest form of firebending🥰" .......... even though he continued to be a violent general in an evil genocidal empire long after that...? I'm questioning the dragons' wisdom now.
"Actually Iroh and all the other old guys in the show are senior members of a super secret society working for the good of the world!!" ..... even though one of them flat out refused to teach the Avatar waterbending for misogynistic reasons, another refused to teach the Avatar firebending for personal reasons, and Iroh was an evil war general barely 6 years ago so I suppose he's only a recent member?
I love AtLA as much as anyone, but yeah it is, uh. Pretty abundantly clear that the White Lotus didn't exist in the writers' room until at least season two, and they didn't have a full idea of its role in the narrative probably until season three. The timeline on Iroh "Did A War Against All The Rest Of You" Azulonson joining and being trusted so high in the membership is also. Very questionable.
Which is all to say I think it would be perfect if we got to the season three end game and realized Iroh was actually still an errand boy initiate in the White Lotus. And Piandao pulls aside the main tent flap to reveal our Supreme Grand Lotus:
Gran-Gran
Canonically traveled the world without Committing A War, thus reasonably having met and networked with most of these other people in a positive way? Check
Saw the Avatar and told her only grandkids to go help that kid ASAP, don't worry Gran-Gran's just going to stay riiiiiight here while you're gone and definitely not relive the excitements of her youth? Check
Would recontextualize Pakku's constant sour grapes face (and his reaction to seeing Katara's necklace) to "my ex left me and now she's my superior, if I don't train her grandkid she will mobilize a global movement to Kick My Ass"? CHECK
Gran-Gran for White Lotus Grandmaster 2026
You are Iroh, you finally land a job in your new field. This is the first time in your life you’ve ever had to work your way up. This time, this time you will succeed or fail entirely on your own. No weight of expectation bears down from your father, no brother waiting in the wings, salivating for you to slip up. No legions of men looking to you with trust and hope and faith shining in their eyes. You feel… free, hopeful, ready.
Then your kid assaults your new boss.
Or not really your boss, more like your boss’s boss’s boss.
And it turns out everything is really really hard when everyone around you isn’t trying to curry your favor or affirm your ideas. Outside of the fire nation people don’t just nod and go along with you. They ask follow-up questions and instead of adopting your plans and automatically beginning to work on adapting and generating solutions they instead point out flaws that you hadn’t considered. Nobody is troubleshooting for you, nobody stands ready to spin anything that goes wrong in a favorable light. You are repeatedly written off at best and criticized at worst.
Turns out you kinda suck at this new thing you’re trying, and while it’s a novel experience you do kind of want to ask Agni why you had to be so GOOD at destroying the world and so BAD at uniting it. Why will nation and sons alike follow you so readily towards certain death, but not turn back with you towards peace and life? Were you ever the leader you imagined yourself to be or have you always been a fool riding a mighty riptide and believing yourself the fastest swimmer.
Iroh having to go have a little lie-down after his nephew assaults his boss's boss? CANONICALLY CHECKED
Time to clean the blorbo! Pick an action

let them stay filthy
other
plz reblog for sampo size
A bit of flare:]
i think it would be so so funny that if in that one episode of atla when iroh was like "the white dragon bush makes amazing tea... but! this could also be the white jade bush which is super posionous" and then he fucking makes the tea and gets a rash, i think it would be SO fucking funny if it actually WAS the white dragon bush he just happened to have a severe allergy to it
The moment of sheer despair Fire Lord Zuko feels when he walks in on Iroh, face puffed up in a distinctly familiar way, crouched over his tea cup like a raccoon caught on a trash can
And the palace physician confirms, in the most tired voice possible, that yes, they learned the treatment for this particular aliment from their own teacher
Because Prince Iroh has been doing this to himself for yeeeeears
#Iroh is your lactose intolerant friend ordering an extra large milkshake without their pills #head canon fully accepted #atla #avatar the last airbender
I know several of this exact person.
This is so annoying to me because like. The position of the "camera" in the animation is INTENTIONAL. Characters don't usualy look straigjht at thr camera - it looks uncanny, which is exactly why she is doing that in this frame! Its supposed to highlight how creepy this is, how forced and artificial the happiness is, its supposed to bring to mind propaganda posters. By making the camera look from the side they are undoing all of that
sketches with sokka!
bro thought he's getting kissed
i’m a couple episodes from finishing atla but here is. my hottest take and i accept zero criticism
