i have a hot take about rotbtd elements/atla AU, i believe that:

jack is water, for obvious reasons

rapunzel is FIRE, because her powers come from the sun, the magic flower blooms from a sundrop

now, i feel like it could go either way for hiccup and merida, but let's say

hiccup is air, because it's only fair to give this element to the only other character besides jack that can actually fly

merida is earth, tho there is a fair defense for her being air, i feel like there are enough stone elements in her story to make up for it

thank you for coming to my ted talk

reading this got me thinking of rotbtd as grishas

rapunzel would be a sun summoner, since her powers do come from the sun

hiccup would be a durast, since he's great at building and engineering stuff

jack would be a tidemaker, ice from water obviously

as for merida, i think she can be a squaller (wind helping her archery) or a durast too tbh (i think she could be like jesper wherein they use their durast abilities to aim their weapons better)

I thought I found the antidote with you But my head is full of poison And my heart is full of doubt I got toxins in my bloodstream You tried hard to suck 'em out And it feels like medication And it's good for me, I'm sure But it don't matter how your love feels, anymore It'll never be the cure

period cramps gender dysphoria on the iron throne was so on the nose but it was good so i dont even care. what if your body physically recoiled at the seat you've placed it upon. what if the literal site where your body touches the throne is soaked in blood. what if you wanted to bring the symbolic phallic sword. what if you didnt because its not who you are. what if you started bleeding the moment you put it aside. how romantic it must be to be locked away in a castle and made to squeeze out heirs. how romantic it must be to be locked away in a castle and finally sit on the iron throne! what if it was uncomfortable. what if you werent made for this because no one is made for this. what if your womb was a grave. what if it was reminding you right now. what if the thing that you have resented as your defining feature your entire life decided to torture you during the moment you've waited your entire life for. your father bled on this throne too when he pricked his fingers on its sharp edges. is that blood any different? your two eldest sons are dead would you like a bodily reminder that you can have more targaryen heirs? isn't that what its all about? more targaryen heirs? more and more and more targaryen heirs? dont you want to give birth again dont you want to live in this castle and squeeze out more targaryen heirs? dont you wish you were your father your uncle your half-brother dont you wish you were literally anyone else. do you think you would have started bleeding if you just brought the sword. do you think you would have started bleeding if you were just someone else. dont forget your father bled too

I doubt this was what the actor was going for but the way Katara reacts here reads to me as very much how she might react if she’d been harbouring a lil crush on the blue spirit…

Like others have pointed out, the show makes it clear that Katara kept sneaking out repeatedly to be the painted lady, as did zuko at the same time to be the blue spirit, and this continued after they first encountered each other and zuko realised who she was. So they might well have had more interactions that we didn’t see, especially since zuko seemed to develop a minor fixation on Katara (watching her back at the villa, following her through the market). But possibly most telling… when the two of them are captured, the locals refer to him as her sidekick. Kind of a weird thing to say unless they’ve been repeatedly seen in action together. So, plenty of evidence that they’ve been working together in their vigilante disguises, and possibly even spoken a small amount.

When they get thrown into prison together without their disguises, zuko is tense and reluctant to turn around because he knows she won’t react well… but Katara seems excited to finally see who the mysterious blue spirit is, as though she’s been wondering about him and wanting to know more. And when it’s revealed that he’s none other than zuko, she is obviously angry and upset, but she also seems… embarrassed?? The ‘I’m such an idiot’ line and the turning away as though wanting to hide definitely caught my attention. It comes off like she’s not just shocked and disappointed that she was working with her enemy, but specifically horrified and frustrated with herself. For what? Perhaps for being so fascinated by the dashing blue spirit she felt such kinship with? Perhaps even for having daydreams of his identity reveal going very differently…?

Plus zuko’s reply and how he seems sad about her reaction, but very unsurprised. It would make sense if he KNEW they’d been vibing and maybe even flirting a little in their painted spirit disguises… but he always knew that would all change as soon as she knew who he was.

Yes obviously I’m viewing this with a heavy Zutara bias but that’s the funnest way to watch the show, sue me
