Okay, so I just got shampoo in my eye (luckily my blind eye; it could have been a lot worse) and as I was grabbing said part of my face in complete agony, it hit me…that’s exactly how Zuko got his scar. Not the ‘shampoo’ bit, the ‘grabbing the face’ bit. Ozai put his hand to Zuko’s face is what I’m getting at.

I guess part of me always knew that, because his scar does look a lot like a handprint:

But still, whenever I thought about the agni kai, I’d imagine Ozai standing over his thirteen-year-old son and firing haphazardly like:

But no, I think he brings his hand right up to Zuko’s face. 

Which would explain, you know, this:

At first, I thought that he backhanded Zuko, like Azula does here.

But when I looked up these photos, it hit me (no pun intended) that we’ve probably seen the exact move that Ozai made:

Just at a different angle, because I imagine that he was standing over Zuko, due to the whole symbolism of height differences.

Still, I think he slowly brought his fire-encased hand up to Zuko’s face and held it there, burning him, just like he was about to do with Aang. The difference being that Aang is able to deflect the attack:

Which he was able to do, because he learned from Zuko.

I swear this show has more circles than a cheese grater…

Real Talk kids in future generations NEED to keep watching Avatar the Last Airbender and we should preserve it for them. And I’m not saying that like “hur hur har har cartoons were better when I was young” because that’s objectively not true, I mean it like “the first time you see uncle iroh sing leaves from the vine and cry is an experience that metaphysically changes you”

As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty (Jonas Mekas, 2000)

Here are some of the replies to his tweet:

I used to be pro-“choice"and have had abortions. I was unapologetic. Fast forward to after the birth of my 1st child, my sister asked me why I was pro-choice and I started again with the same “my body my choice” lines, and I broke into tears. I knew the truth deep down.

When I read Roe v. Wade in law school and realized what an abortion of an opinion it actually is and how a so called right was invented out of thin air.

I googled the word “abortion” and watched a video of a baby being destroyed. It changed my life.

Hearing a random abortion person say that they’d rather kids be aborted than their mothers put them up for adoption after birth, & thinking about my adopted younger sister & how much she means to me. I saw red. Then I saw pro-choice for what it clearly is. Evil for convenience.

When I had an abortion 22 yrs ago- in the fog of anesthesia, & felt like my soul was screaming. I’ve cried & begged for forgiveness every day since. I Think what he/she would look like now, could'ves & should'ves. Every single day. Until the day I leave here.

In high school I dated a girl who chose to carry her rapist’s baby to term. Her conviction regarding the sanctity of life really stuck with me.

Saw a video of a real procedure, I hyperventilated from crying so hard.

I worked at a PP clinic during nursing school After graduating, my 1st job was a NICU RN Saving lives of babies born at 28 weeks was life-affirming I experienced an epiphany Babies are born with a soul I was in awe of the beauty of this truth I was never the same If you ask a pro-abortion advocate if they think babies are born with a soul - they become angry and combative The very idea makes them angry & defensive

I honestly don’t know if I agree with the premise. Abortion is one of the very few political/social debates for which I simply cannot comprehend fundamental basis of the other side. Being pro-life is too obvious for me to have had a “moment”

it’s a repeated story, but in 1999 when i read Humanae Vitae trying to find flaws in it only to see the flaw was in me

The argument from Dr Laura Schlesinger in 1995 where she called my “I don’t have the plumbing, I don’t get to have an opinion” stance “garbage”. She went on: “It’s human. It’s not dog or cat. It’s alive. If it were dead it would be a miscarriage. Murder is the willful destruction of human life. Therefore, abortion is murder.” She had me. I had no response but to agree.

I was pro choice until about a year ago. I saw the testimony of an ex abortion doc and his description of abortion shocked me, followed by videos of abortions, pulling body parts out. It finally hit me, this wasn’t just a “procedure”… it was killing little humans. So wrong.

When my college girlfriend miscarried in the second trimester and I knew I never would have felt that much love and loss for a “bundle of cells”.

Pregnant at 16 almost 32 years ago. Everyone, including my mom told me to have an abortion, said it would ruin my life I knew deep inside, it was wrong. I kept my baby. Today she’s an amazing teacher, wife and mother who’s blessed me with 4 beautiful grandchildren. No regret.

My cousin’s story. His mom, my dad’s little sister, was raped when she was a teen. She did not get an abortion. My cousin is now a Doctor and he saves lives! God’s plan!

The pro choice crowd actively celebrating an act that they once thought of as a necessary evil.

Freshman year of college, flipping through the phone book (I date myself) looking for something else, I flipped past  four pages of splashy ads offering “Abortion Services.” That’s when it hit me, it was an industry that made money from killing babies.

I can either side with medical science or Amanda Marcotte in a pink yarn hat screaming in my face. Tough choice.

Had been pro choice, up to about 5 or so years ago when like the old adage, give them an inch, they’ll take a mile, when support of late term, or up to birth, came to into play, I was out.

When I had to take the pro-life side in a college course because no one would (I was fairly agnostic about the issue) and had to study up for the debate. I had been lied to for a long time about it.

I was nine years old and asked my parents what abortion was. They told me, and I was horrified.

^This last one is from Mollie Hemingway but it echoes my experience. Didn’t understand as a child how anyone could support this horror. Still don’t understand today.
