So this is going to be an unpopular take, but Suki is a character who actually gets less complex and interesting as the series goes on. Most characters get more developed the more appearances they make, but Suki is the precise opposite. She's most interesting and complex in her first appearance, "The Warriors of Kyoshi." She's a little flattened by her second appearance, "The Serpent's Pass," but there's still some fire to her. By her third appearance, "Appa's Lost Days," she's just a kind and dutiful warrior. And by Book 3, she's been reduced to "Sokka's girlfriend who is good at fighting too."
this harms me to say but. I need to make quinn meaner to nat
Last photos of my unfinished Resident Evil blanket (which I started making in my teens and eventually abandoned overwhelmed) before I take it apart for yarn and space.
I haven’t read all of Luke and Leo, but what I have read is VERY good.
So, my question is for Leo. Why does he wish Luke hadn’t bought his contract? Luke is so good to him, so what is it that he wishes were different?
A few things! This perspective DOES shift, and Leo does (canonically) come to start trusting that Luke doesn’t want to hurt him, but early on, he’s really really feeling like he is missing a huge piece to the puzzle and it big fucks with his headspace.
1 - Leo doesn’t trust Luke’s intentions at the point that I’d say he wishes Luke hadn’t taken him. In a way, he’s grateful for the physical break, but he is really struggling through that first month or so. He feels consistently like he’s not meeting expectations, like the other shoe will drop, like he doesn’t understand what he’s supposed to be doing or how he’s supposed to be behaving, and that’s creating a whole different kind of anxiety than he’s used to handling (and than he’s been prepared to handle). He feels like Luke wants something from him that he can’t give him. And this is a little bit true :)
2 - Leo is consistently worried about getting comfortable with Luke and then going back into the system and having to readjust to things. He’s in Pain.
He doesn’t wish anything Luke does is different, his mentality is just so so painfully cracked at the point he goes home with Luke that sometimes he thinks it would be easier to be in a more ‘typical’ contract (and have had the break for retraining). It’s not rational thinking.
This section is my favorite of the whole documentary.
