You know what is fucking hilarious i realized this morning
Zuko, crown prince of the firenation, sTILL ascending to the throne after the avatar fucking took out his dad is HYSTERICAL when you consider for like half a second what that looks like from the outside perspective
Like imagine you’re some earth kingdom peasant and the town crier comes through like “AVATAR DEFEATED THE FIRELORD. REPEAT AVATAR NERFED OZAI. WAR OVER. WAR OVER”
and you’re like “holy fucking shit 100 years of war over the madlad did it”
and then you’re like “what happens to the Firenation now?? did the avatar take over as ruler while sanctions are being put in place?
crier: “nope” you: “are they under earth kingdom colonial rule now?” crier: “nope” you: “oh okay, so is it like. an earth-kingdom appointed panel of delegates who will oversee the firenation now?” crier: “nooooope” you: “…earth kingdom appointed leader?” crier: “no : )” you: “democratically elected leader?” crier: “no :^ )” you: “communism?????” crier: “lmao still a monarchy!” you: “okay, okay, guess earth kingdom is too, okay, please just tell me they crowned someone from the rebel faction who–” crier: “Fire Lord’s Son : ^). First Son. First born.” you: “??????????? the Crown Prince?” crier: “Heir to the Throne :^^)” you: “His SON?” crier: “First and only :^^)” you: “then what was the fuCKING POINT OF TAKING DOWN THE FIRE LORD?!!” crier: “Avatar won :^^^)” you: “WHAT’S EVEN DIFFERENT NOW"
WHY DID YOU HIDE THIS!!!!
