i love the notion that the reason zuko hates iroh's tea so much is because iroh is giving him medicinal tea that tastes fucking nasty for his chronic pain and then like. borderline gaslighting him about it by being like "what...???? no........ this is just jasmine........ your favorite" and zuko, who is even more susceptible to being manipulated than the average person, is just like "omg wow jasmine tea tastes way worse than it did when i was a kid..... maybe tea is really gross and i am simply misremembering having a fondness for it as a child???" and then they go work in a tea shop and zuko starts drinking normal tea again so that he can recommend different blends to customers and he’s just like "holy shit why does this hot leaf juice actually taste good." and he somehow never figures out what his uncle was doing he simply thinks that he is going crazy. which is also true

[themanedwolf]

As someone who drinks herbal tea for light medicinal use, I would like to add that it takes SKILL to blend and brew a tea that is both effective and tasty and often you have to sacrifice a little bit of one for the other. And sure, Iroh always loved tea and could brew his own but usually the palace servants did it for him so he didn't really get into the art of perfect brewing until he was on a rickety old ship with a severe burn victim who didn't want to take the pain meds from the ship medic but would sit for tea with his uncle and just... Iroh just wants his nephew to feel better.

After becoming Firelord, Zuko pardoned the Blue Spirit for busting Aang out of prison but still held him at large for all the other crimes

Aang in disguise: "Did you hear? Apparently that firenation criminal the blue spirit was spotted in one of the caves in the great divide"

[sockisverylost]

Sokka, also in disguise: yeah, heard he was taming the cave crawlers. Maybe you can find the blue spirit if you get close to them too.

[britcision]

Occasionally after a particularly rough month Zuko takes a brief vacation to get his Blue Spirit gear back on and fuck around leading Ozai on another even wilder goose chase

These are his life changing field trips with Toph

[zackbuildit]

Aang BETTER be wearing a fake mustache every time he fools ozai

[somethingmissingthiswaycomes]

The mustache is of course made from Appa's fur.

[zackbuildit]

It gets bigger every time. The scene always ends with a sneeze

[aboutiroh]

Ozai thinks nothing of the weird facial hair because ‘clearly peasants are just like that’

au where jet doesn’t find out that zuko and iroh are fire nation and when he runs into the gaang he goes ‘oh by the way this is my new friend lee. we met on the ferry ride over here!’ and the gaang and zuko just like awkwardly stare at each other for a really long time

[urbanfantasyinspiration]

I love it

[linanlu]

[thescarlettempress]

*in everyone’s minds*

Zuko: Maybe if I just keep up my persona, they’ll believe I’m someone else… Okay, that’s stupid, but what choice do I have?

Aang: …Maybe if we just pretend we’ve never met before he’ll stay nice and we can all keep the peace.

Katara: If he lifts one hand against us, I will freeze them both.

Sokka: Please be a coincidence. Please be a coincidence. Please be a coincidence. Please be a coinci-

Toph: Why is he so scared? Is he shy? Why is Katara so upset? Why is Aang freaking out? Why is Sokka so irritated? And now Jet’s freaking out.

Jet: Do- do they not like him? Do they not like him because he’s my friend? Do they still hate me? Do they hate him because of me? Lee looks like he’s about to pass out? Is he okay?

[theoneandonlyturtleduck]

This needs to be a fic

ACTUALLY SCREAMING

[insert-awesome-loki-url-here]

Toph to Iroh: oh hey, you’re that really old guy who gave me tea once

Everyone else: ????

[simplystormie]

[fanonical]

not wanting to be outdone by the benders in the gang, sokka invents the flamethrower, the supersoaker, the leaf blower, and the concept of throwing rocks at people

[sugarcoatednightshade]

this is canon. to me.

[bowandbrush]

wait did anyone draw this already

Mom from Futurama is basically how I envision Toph as a parent

[avatrashh]

THIS IS BREATHTAKING

[avatrashh]

I FORGOT THIS EXISTED

[themonkeysnameisjack]

so when Zuko joins the Gaang and this happens:

he’s probably freaked out (rightfully so) but in the back of his mind he’s probably also thinking “worst comes to worst, I could probably fight her” until:

this happens and he’s like:

and immediately starts reevaluating every bender he’s ever met, thinking of every time Katara totally could’ve killed him, and is forever grateful that she has morals lol

bonus post war convo between Zuko and Azula:

[cookie-kat777]

Atla nation, come get y'all's juice

[gaysun-deactivated20230205]

Zuko’s scar is different than the typical villain’s scar bc it’s not an ambiguous sign of past violence but an explicit symbol of his father’s abuse - rather than making him seem tougher for no reason it shows that at his heart he’s just a traumatized child and not a villain at all. In this essay I will

[nasmora]

Give us the essay op

to this day i cannot BELIEVE aang called up and blew off like nine avatars just because they didnt offer any vegan options to ending the war

[pikameme-dayo]

roku: my best friend assaulted me as a senior citizen :(

kyoshi: sometimes some murder is OK

kuruk: just punch people that disagree with you

aang: okay i’m starting to think that none of you took this avatar thing seriously

[teeveew]

You're not wrong

[aboutiroh]

Aang when he is told he’s the Avatar at age 12: *has a melt down because he understands the seriousness of this function and the consequences his new responsibilities will have on his personal life* 

other Avatars at age 16: I’m the avatar? Cool! Hey look it comes with a glowing eyes feature! 

[aviculor]

aang: fuck this noise, i’ll get advice from the last air nomad avatar

yangchen: i gave up that hippie bullshit first chance i got, i love murder

dude this is a 14-yo character. you pornofied this fictional child.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

You ever think about how in The Headband, we're introduced to a side of the Fire Nation that's had its culture whittled away by a hundred years of imperial wartime propaganda. And how perhaps the most damning expression of this is that students are forbidden from dancing. And so Aang, maybe the only person on the planet who still truly remembers the Fire Nation of old, from before the war, brings it back to them.

And then we get to The Firebending Masters. Zuko's entire young adulthood has been spent using his anger towards the Fire Nation's enemies, his drive to capture the Avatar, as a crutch. And now he doesn't have that crutch anymore. So he and Aang set out on a pilgrimage, going to the birthplace of firebending itself, in search of answers. In search of a way to express the power of fire that isn't fueled by rage or smothered by fear. And they find a dance.
