Kanna would know.

When she came of age she traveled the war torn world from one end to the other to escape a life she didn't want.

I really want that story, Kanna Alone.

Where she travels the world, no bending, no tribe, nothing but what she can carry and a necklace to remind her of what she's running away from.

now her grandchildren are to set off on their own journy.

She heard Katara say she was leaving with Aang to go to find a teacher at the north pole and said nothing. She was prepared to let her go find her own destiny.

The way his voice cracks when he says home.

It's all he's ever wanted, to go home.

Zuko already has honor from the very begining

He keeps his promise even after Aang breaks his.

Zhao or his father would have gone back to the southern water tibe and made an example of them for harbering the Avatar.

But Zuko made a promise to leave them alone and it never crosses his mind to break it.

Sokka is alone

He is his tribes last line of defence

Two years ago, his father and the men of his tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation.

Leaving him alone.

Here he prepares to fight and has to use his teeth to tie his wraps because this ritual is meant to be done with your tribes men.

but there is no one left to help him

He promised his father he would protect his tribe and has dedicated himself to it.

To the extent that he can apply their traditional war paint alone without a mirror.

At times this is played for laughs. Hes off playing soilder, as katara call it, trying to train small children to be wariors

But he was not much older than they are when the fire nation attacked and took his mother away.

now he's alone, the only male of age, raised in a society that says he is the only one left who can fight to protect his tribe.

He is preparing to die.

He's seen what happens, he knows what's likely to happen.

They took all of the other benders away before he was born and now they've come for his little sister.

and he is ready to have his last breath be in defence of the ones he loves. Even if it is all futial.

Sokka: What's wrong with you?! We don't have time for fun and games with the War going on!

Aang: What war? What are you talking about?

Sokka: He's kidding, right? ...

Aang: Isn't there someone in your tribe who can teach you?

Katara: No. You're looking at the only waterbender in the whole South Pole.

Aang: This isn't right.

...

Katara: This ship has haunted my tribe since Gran-Gran was a little girl. It was part of the Fire Nation's first attacks.

Aang: Okay, back up. I have friends all over the world, even in the Fire Nation. I've never seen any war.

Katara: Aang, how long were you in that iceberg?

Aang: I don't know. A few days, maybe?

Katara: I think it was more like a hundred years!

Aang: What?! That's impossible! Do I look like a hundred-twelve-year-old man to you?

Katara: Think about it. The War is a century old. You don't know about it because, somehow, you were in there the whole time!

Katara: It's the only explanation.

Aang: A hundred years! I can't believe it.

Can I just talk about how devistating this moment is. This is the the face of a sweet inocent child realizing that everyone he loves and has known, his whole life and world, is gone. He has been go for 100 year.

And not unlike Rip Van Wrinke, he wakes to find the world a very differnt place then he remembers.

Zuko: You will teach me the advanced set!

Iroh: Very well, but first, I must finish my roast duck.

Iroh is no fool, he plays the role very well, but he has never been a fool.

Only a man who knows when to pick his battles and how to de-escalate.

From the very begining Iroh has been trying to guide Zuko away from the hopeless wild goose chase his father has sent him on.

Iroh: Prince Zuko, you need some sleep. Even if you're right, and the Avatar is alive, you won't find him. Your father, grandfather and great-grandfather all tried and failed.

Zuko: Because their honor didn't hinge on the Avatar's capture. Mine does. This coward's hundred years in hiding are over.

But Iroh knows that brute force isn't going to work with Zuko, hes still far to stuck on the narative of honor his father has given him. So he uses misdirection and staling tactics.

He plays the fool to buy time, to force Zuko to take a break and slow down a little.

The ultimate sibbling dynamic.

They were half a second from coming to blows. Look at Katara's face, she knows shes gouding him on, and sokka's about to take the bait.

Hey Guess what I’m doing...

If you guess rewatching A:TLA and live blogging my thoughts then you guessed right

I made this blog just about a year ago and it has taken off so much more then I ever thought it would. I’m about 130 followers away from 1000 so I figured I’d do this to celebrate/ push me over that 1000 mark.

so be prepared for screenshots, edits, gifs, metas, and shit posts over the next couple of weeks.

I’m gonna try to at least post one post per episode and 2 episodes per day. but I’ve got a job so well see how well that goes

I’ll be tagging this experiment as #blueladyrewatch

follow, block, or dig through to your own discretion
