Happy birthday to the Earth’s best defender, to the man who sacrificed everything for a world that didn’t deserve him, to the man who always tried his best. 

Happy birthday, Anthony Edward Stark. (May 29, 1970)

I spent a good half day being boggled over the fact that Uncle Iroh from A:TLA’s title was (and probably continued to officially be, among several others) Prince Iroh. Like, no, his official title is “Uncle”. Uncle of the Fire Nation. 

[padlocked-quintus]

Zuko ghostwrote this.

[tygermama]

well, ‘Uncle’ was the title Iroh was most proud of

Positioning

Through the series Azula shows her back only to things seen as a non threat. If not then, there’s either something directly behind her like an object, or empty space.

For instance, Zuko. Zuko is almost always in front of her or directly beside her. She can see him at all times directly or through her peripheral vision. The same goes for others like Katara and Aang etc. when they meet up.

However, guards are often behind her but that’s because she is in charge. They fear her power and if not her then Ozai. They won’t make a power move. Even Mai and Ty Lee are positioned directly behind or to the side.

The one time this changes and is bad occurs in the Boiling Rock episode. Mai confronts her face to face. Ty Lee doesn’t. Azula makes no move to position herself so she can see both of them. She believes her friend isn’t a threat against her in that moment. That’s why, when Ty Lee attacks from behind it’s so dramatic. It was completely unexpected not only by the audience but Azula herself. She would never expose her back and be vulnerable to someone she believed would do such a thing. Which makes that moment so potent. She genuinely believed that Ty Lee wouldn’t make a move and she was wrong.

That’s why when Azula says “You miscalculated,” To Mai I wonder if it’s also addressing herself. Almost like a verbal attack on someone else while simultaneously projecting her own thoughts. She miscalculated. She left herself open. She completely misread Ty Lee’s stance or role in that situation.

Which is also why her paranoia becomes so blatant. She no longer trusts anything. She can be attacked directly or from behind or to the side. It no longer matters what her positioning is. It failed once and it could again. Which explains her absolute anger at the DaI Li for being late. It also makes her little monologue about an attacker more potent as well. She can no longer count on herself to read a situation and remain in a position that gives her the upper hand.

prince zuko got you all out here thinking every dark haired antagonist boy is gonna do right in the end when zuzu was the exception not the rule

[tsengru-deactivated20210227]

I really wish it weren’t though? I think it’s really telling that a lot of people like redemption arcs because we want to see people be good despite their pasts. The fact that there are so little redemption arcs in media is very upsetting because it just sends the message that people can’t change which we know is not true. I absolutely don’t mean this for characters like Kylo Ren though lol

[siderealsandman]

Redemption arcs are hard and Zuko’s was successful for a couple of reasons: 

1) Zuko wasn’t the worst character in the Fire Nation. From really early on it was shown that, compared to Zhao, Azula, and other Fire Nation leaders, Zuko was consistently more noble. He tried to be a good person and do the right thing, even when doing so led to him suffering for his actions. 

2) Zuko suffered for his mistakes. He suffered when he turned away from Iroh, he suffered when he betrayed Iroh, and he suffered even after his face turn. There were consequences for his mistakes; he didn’t get off scot free because his childhood was hard. He was still held accountable by the narrative and made to take responsibility for the wrongs he did. 

3) Zuko made tangible amends to the people he hurt. He rescued Hakoda, helped Katara get closure, and became Aang’s firebending master. He put in work to make up for the things he did and rebuild bridges with his new allies. 

Most redemption narratives fail because the guilty party is guilty of much greater crimes than failing to capture the hero, never works to make amends, and never suffers for their mistakes. You wanted to see Zuko redeem himself because he had the capacity, wanted to do the work, and paid dearly for his mistakes.

you’re right and you should say it

I took my meds too close to bedtime again and I need you all to know the dream I had last night involved Robin Williams becoming the new Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. Not, a character portrayed by Robin Williams, just Robin Williams as himself running around Hogwarts doing wandless magic and being as loud and big as possible because and I quote before I forget:

“Listen, children, I’m not saying all this bad shit that is happening isn’t scary and you shouldn’t be concerned–because you should!–but I’m telling you this now for free. Life is a boggart, it’s the biggest boggart of them all. You never know what it’s going to look like one moment to the next. And sometimes you just gotta laugh. It’s okay to laugh. It’s part of the grieving process. You need to grieve before you can heal. But it’s okay to laugh while you’re doing it.”

I didn’t wake up right after that, some more stuff happened in a hazy sort of way as the dream began to dissolve into conciousness, but I remember him yelling Expecto Patronum as he punched a Death Eater in the face. Because sometimes, evidently, you have to make your own happy memories.

I think Robin Williams literally visited you in your sleep from the beyond in order to pass this message on to the world.
