i wonder if iroh going on to use the truth of firebending ran and shaw taught him to further the fire nation's conquest could be seen by said spirits as a betrayal, much like when zhao used the knowledge he learned from wan shi tong's library to try and kill the moon spirit.

DUDE THIS IS AMAZING
AZULA AHSFSFSFSFGSSGSFCSCS
Everyone look at this right now. Atla fans assemble
my sister said to me that she doesnât think Azula wouldâve killed Aang if not to bring Zuko home, and that made me realize something very interesting.
Azula doesnât have a reason to want to capture Aang.
Not anymore than the rest of the Fire Nation. She wasnât ordered to, but she was ordered to bring Zuko (and Iroh) home. Which she does, by killing Aang and giving Zuko the credit.
And you know whatâs interesting? During the main four interactions Azula has with Aang during the second season, she sends Mai and Ty Lee away. She leaves them to fight Katara and Sokka, she leaves them to chase the bison she knows doesnât have the Avatar, she fights him solo on the Drill and she leaves them to guard a bear and an empty throne while she takes on the Avatar in the catacombs.
She separates herself from them to fight Aang four different times.
From anyone else, it could be a pride thing. But Azula has shown on multiple occasions that she does not value pride above all else. She is insanely strategic, and sheâs fine with making it look like someone else is winning if it means she has the upperhand. She admits when she needs help, hence having Mai and Ty Lee in the first place and Zuko in Ba Sing Se. She even apologizes to Ty Lee that one time. Azula does not value pride over results.
She doesnât celebrate prematurely, eitherâ during the Drill episode, sheâs practically the only one who isnât celebrating the victory. Azula doesnât celebrate a victory until itâs final. Whereas Iroh in his flashback, a prideful man, had been boasting about burning Ba Sing Se to the ground.
Pride. Itâs the food of the wise man, but the liquor of the fool.
Itâs as if Azula is trying to capture/eliminate Aang specifically just to give Zuko the credit. The lack of witnesses, the way she seems to pursue the mission as a personal one. She intends to bring Zuko back to the Fire Nation as Ozai requested, but she intends to bring him back her way and get him unbanished.
[ID: A panel from Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Lost Adventures comic featuring Sokka, Katara, Toph and Aang standing on a porch of an Earth Kingdom house in front of a crowd of people. Sokka is pretending to waterbend to impress the crowd while Toph, Aang and Katara, who is doing the actual waterbending, are hiding in the doorframe. Sokka's stance is nothing like a proper bending stance, he has his spaghetti limbs and fingers sprawled out wide in all directions and he's wearing a proud and pleased expression with his tongue sticking out. He's saying "It's all in the wrists..." The crowd is clapping with one woman saying "Amazing!" End ID]
obsessed with this scene of sokka pretending to waterbend because judging by that stance, you would absolutely never guess that this boy has spent his entire life living with a waterbender, has fought with said waterbender side by side in countless battles, and has witnessed said waterbender become a master of her element and teach another person the bending art. none of that made any impact on him. he searches his brain for "waterbending stance" and this is what comes out. i love him
Sokka may not understand bending, but the man definitely understands stage presence.
Zuko finding out about the gaang's shenanigans and vice versa part 2
~
Zuko: Sokka I still can't believe master Piandao trained you. Did you get to make your own sword as well?
Sokka: yes I did! At first I was scared it wouldn't work, but I'm glad he allowed me to use the meteorite for it!
Zuko: ... i'm sorry did you say meteorite?
~
Toph: it was such a coincidence running into your uncle in ba sing se.
Zuko: yea, it was very weird for him being back, y'know, since he kinda laid a 100 day seige on the city a few years prior
Toph, who hadn't connected the two dots until now: ... THE DRAGON OF THE WEST??
~
Aang: Katara... you sound like Jet
Zuko, who definitely knows a guy named Jet:
Katara: this is different. Jet attacked the innocent.
Zuko, now suspecting they were talking about the same Jet:
~
Zuko: how did toph even end up becoming a pro wrestler?
Aang: she did it to escape from her oppressive parents
Zuko: oh, that sucks
Aang: yeah, those beifongs sure were strict with her
Zuko, who probably has knowledge of the aristocracy in the other nations: THE BEIFONGS???
Jeong Jeong told Katara healing was rare (or that "some waterbenders have the ability"). Idr the exact wording. I always took it to mean some waterbenders could just do it like Katara does, and some had to understand chi paths or something. Really visualize and learn the skill. I sort of thought there was an inherent difference to what she was doing, idk. But also, what does Jeong Jeong really know about waterbending? You could argue he has a romanticized view of it.
I mean, katara is incredibly talented and itâs clear that she has a lot of raw potential even before sheâs properly trained. she definitely does have more innate power than most waterbenders, at least according to pakku, a master whoâs trained countless pupils. but I do also think jeong jeong romanticizes women and femininity in general. he probably thinks that men are incapable of healing because they are all brutes who only know violence. I mean, think about it: he was so kind and reverent towards katara, while dismissing aang and calling sokka, who was literally just sitting there quietly the entire time, an oaf. jeong jeong is a misandrist!
The thing is that pedestalling women as gentle virtuous angels isnât exactly treating them as people either. (Exactly how many women has he spent any time with?) Jeong Jeong, with this attitude, would be in as much need as Pakku of a good kick up the backside over Kataraâs ability (and right) to fight to defend her family. (Katara: Iâll show you how destructive water can be!)
I think this actually might be another way in which Jeong Jeong sublimates his own self-hatred â for the boy he once was, trying so hard to please first his teachers and then his superior officers, by burning down who and what they told him to, and suppressing that part of him that was telling him he shouldnât be doing it.
But it is also concerning, the idea that three out of five of what we presume is the leadership of the White Lotus, should be so worryingly sexist.
(@burglar-bird apropos of our conversation, this fits well as another layer for Jeong Jeong.)
#Sokka was just. he was literally just sitting there
yeah, exactly. if it wasn't already implied by my original response (which i had assumed it was, but maybe not) gender essentialism is always a bad thing, whether demeaning or lionizing women. katara's gift for healing has nothing to do with her gender, and the assumption that women are innately more nurturing than men, who only know violence and aggression is an ideology that only begets and justifies further violence, while holding women to a higher/double standard. katara, for example, can be very soft and nurturing, but she is also far more aggressive and violent on a day-to-day basis than sokka, who typically remains level-headed (unless a guy is smugly asking him if his science can explain how it rains, that is), or aang, a literal pacifist monk, who happened to be raised valuing gentleness, unlike fire nation boys.
jeong jeong's (self)hatred extends not only to boys raised under the patriarchal imperialist militaristic values of the fire nation, but also to aang and sokka, who were decidedly not raised to be destructive conquistadors. his mentality of putting women on a pedestal while assuming that all men are ontologically/biologically "worse" (less intelligent, more impulsive, more aggressive, etc.) only serves to harm him as well as others. his assumption that boys/men have no room for emotional/spiritual/intellectual/ideological growth is directly countered by zuko, whose innate gentleness is indeed stamped out by fn values, but who is able to regain it by rejecting imperialism. this mentality is why jeong jeong failed as aang's firebending teacher, while zuko succeeded. as this show demonstrates time and time again, it is great folly to assume that anyone is defined by external factors, rather than their potential for growth.
also, sokka was literally just sitting there.
Furthering my incel!Zuko au
Azula, and Zuko transferred to a public school with the gaang in it when Ozai got caught for tax fraud and money laundering and most of their assets got frozen. Mai went too because her dad was in on it, Ty Lee transferred because all her friends did.
Azula came in with the philosophy that the worst prisoners do of 'walk in and punch the biggest guy in the face to establish dominance' and went for the resident mean girl and it flopped spectacularly. People tried being friends with Zuko but, you know, incel. And mais too emo to have friends. Ty lee has a lot of friends, but at least once a week someone asks "why do you hang out with those weirdos so much?" And like atleast half the time one, or more of them is there.
Aang and Ty lee forced the school into making a 'green week' where all the school meals are vegan and people are encouraged to walk and 'be green' and everyone else hated it.
Sokka is the founding member of the Robotics club and the only other member is azula but she never shows up, she just wants it for the C.V., except Sokka forced her to go on all the trips because the school has a minimum '2 students per trip' for all excursions so she had to learn how to code to not get shown up and thats how azula made her first new friend.
Mai has been suspended 3 times for bringing a knife to school.
Sokka becoming really progressive didn't stem from being beat up by a girl like in the show, he realised he was saying some dangerously similar talking points to zuko and he was like "woah fuck i gotta watch less Ben Shapiro"
Kataras in the model U.N.
sokka invents the radio / telephone out of a need to communicate with people, because his handwriting is truly so fucking sloppy that most people cannot even decipher it. yes he could just train himself to write slower, but thatâs such a waste of time when he could simply revolutionize technology instead
my favorite thing about iroh is that he is epitome of itâs never too late. irohâs story says youâre never to old to realize youâre wrong, youâre never too old to learn a new way of thinking. itâs never too late to make a home and a life for yourself doing something you like to do, and to have your talent noticed and rewarded. itâs never too late to try to redeem your mistakes and to live a life thatâs aligned with your true morals. and, of course, that itâs never too late to make a difference for someone else, that youâre never too old for your wisdom and love and care to change anotherâs life for the better, that growing older does not need you are needed less by others, but rather more.
atla shows us that old age isnât about isolation or loneliness, or living in memories of the past or watching the world move on without you. irohâs arc says that no matter how old you are, you never stop growing and learning and loving and becoming a better person, and thatâs something I really find inspiring.
Japanese legend: you have the face of who you loved most in a past life

Oh, so YOU guys can just see a face and be like âI like that face, Iâm gonna make it my faceâ and everyoneâs just COOL with that. But when I, Koh the Face Stealer,
