in my opinion, the biggest difference between jet and zuko – and the reason zuko could be redeemed and jet couldn’t – is that jet was all BIG PICTURE (fire nation bad, must be defeated) and would do anything to prove and achieve this goal of his, including killing people. on the other hand, zuko was very SMALL PICTURE (capture the avatar, regain honor) and would almost always not hurt innocent people to complete his mission.
we all know jet tried to kill innocent people. he also tried to expose zuko and iroh as fire benders, when they are clearly refugees that gain nothing from the fire nation. this is him being BIG PICTURE. he is incapable of thinking about zuko and iroh as individuals. they are only an extension of the fire nation, even though they are victims of it. they are victims of it, JUST LIKE JET IS. the only difference between them, is jet isnt a fire bender. he is all BIG PICTURE.
however, zuko is different. when he tries to capture aang, he only goes for aang. he leaves villages alone. he uses intimidation tactics, and usually no one is hurt. he follows aang, but only aang. because zuko is so focussed on the gaang, three or four people, he is able to broaden his perspective to include and care about others. he learns what real honor is (not skill or ranking, but true justice) and he learns to reflect inwardly and change outwardly.
jet and zuko are both victims of the fire nation, jet also the dai li. in the show, these are both shown as evil. while jet stoops to their level and NEVER stops, even when HE IS IN CONTROL AND HAS THE POWER, zuko is someone who fights like hell, but when the time comes, he can be compassionate, and that is why he is redeemed.
Me, shooting awake: what if Ty Lee was a descendant of an escaped Air Bender. That would explain why she has grey eyes when the rest of the Fire Nation appear to have either yellow, gold, or brown eyes. When Hama escaped from the prison as a Southern Water Tribe Waterbender, she stayed in the Fire Nation, so who's to say that some Air Benders survived and also blended in with the different nations to survive.
Ty Lee was extremely agile and it almost seemed as though she's aided by air with how light and floaty she is in some moves she does throughout the series. It could be very possible and very canon that she is an Airbender descended from one of these Air Nation survivors and didn't say anything because she herself didn't know it, only her great great grandfather or grandmother did. Maybe she's the only surviving Airbender in her entire family and that's why she never noticed too, because nobody else would have been suspicious and looked out for any signs of Airbending in the rest of the family.
Maybe that's why she joined the circus, why she wanted to seem different, and why she was so bright all the time too - because Airbenders have great senses of humour and fun. They also deflect a lot, which Ty Lee also seems to do when Azula, or even some boys are involved... she was a peace keeper between Mai and Azula right up until one's life was threatened by the other and she had to act. Maybe she was a fucking Airbender without realising it herself...
This right here is a HUGE red fucking flag. If you’re in a relationship with someone who wants complete control over finances, especially to the point where you don’t even have access to money, this is an attempt to control and isolate. They will use ALL sorts of excuses. “I’m better with money” “You spend too much” “You’re too impulsive” etc. It has nothing to do with looking out for you or money. It’s straight up abuse and will likely lead to worse.
One of my exes insisted that she maintain control over all household finances, including my paycheck. During that time, I had the best paying job I’ve ever had, but I was unable to feasibly leave her. After we broke up, I found she’d done things like not pay for medical bills she’d said she had, leaving me on the hook for the inflated late-fees bloated versions. During the time we were together she was also incredibly abusive in a number of other ways, but again…had no money that I could reasonably access. She’d put it all in her name.
Financial abuse is a fucking thing. And it’s also a method of enabling other types of abuse.
being in your 20s is like playing the sims except your sim won’t do any god damn thing you tell them and all your bars are moderately orange to an ugly shade of red
