mai and zuko are so adorable together <3
this is what the fandom needs to understand π€¦ββοΈ couldnβt have worded it better
I really think "Aang should not have killed Ozai" and "there is ample reason for Ozai to be dead" are two statements that can absolutely coexist.
Aang would have had to give up the teachings and philosophy of his culture, that he is the sole survivor of, in order to kill Ozai, who already mocked his culture for being "weak" and "not deserving to exist in this world." Aang choosing not to kill Ozai is a testament to his and his people's strength and it takes Ozai's words and makes him eat them.
Anyone else? They don't face the same responsibility. If it had been them to face Ozai, then they would have every reason to kill him.
But the reason it was Aang who faced him is the same reason that Aang didn't kill him. Ozai was forced to look at the last member of a culture who his ancestors wiped off the face of the earth, to look at someone who he viewed as lesser, as primitive, as weak, and to be defeated by that person without them ever giving up their people's philosophy, even when he thought that murder and violence was the only way to show strength and "deserving" of existing. It's more complicated than "Ozai should have died."
why do kids cartoons always have the best most nuanced and layered plots and characters and adult cartoons are always just βfuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuckβ
in another life, maybe it was you and me, maybe there we loved each other right
what is this breed of character called
like zuko was in the southern water tribe in s1e1/2 in his regular armor and didnβt need extra layers. and in e2 when aang airbent snow to cover the fire nation soldiers and zuko was covered in snow it started evaporating π
hypothermia scared of bro
Everyone loves Azula/Zuko freezing in the water tribe because they've never seen snow before and wear 8 layers of thick clothing, but I think what's equal funny is the idea of them sunbathing in swimwear in the snow because they're able to heat their bodies up so much that the snow doesn't bother them.
i hate how majority of the fandom randomly agreed that βzukka is the solution to zutara vs kataang, and sukka and zukka shippers are bestiesβ no sybau π
It's as if fandom one day collectively decided "we need a slash ship we can blindly worship but it must be the most boring and contrived thing imaginable, with zero chemistry or basis in canon".
And then Zukka was born.
I love how wan is physically incapable of minding his own damn business
