why didn’t Zuko do something actually productive during his banishment. like write the alta version of the divine comedy.
#he could’ve poetically trauma dumped on SO MANY PPL. the LORE he would’ve created out of his teenage angst would’ve changed the world#the world doesn’t need the avatar. it needs the author of Love Amongst Dragons leading Zuko thro hell.#he would’ve (accidentally) put so much Ozai=devil=tortured children and tormented sons=evil in there#and literally ended the fire nation. there. i said it. everyone would be quoting his work and it would literally be argued ab by scholars#til the end of time and all bc Iroh was going thro Zuko’s shit and found a whole ass angsty self insert fan fiction#(that was never meant to see the light of day)#and sent it around to all his friends (the white lotus) bc look at what his nephew wrote! he’s a little writer!!! so much#talent!!!!!#and they would read it and be like ‘god? is that you??’#atla#zuko
