jetko is all about that “oh no he’s hot” moment and i find that very humorous actually

Hey, Spitfire! Try not to kill your brother ahead of time!

.

Looking for Ursa right after being banished had some...wildly unexpected results. One: Zuko actually found her. Two: she wasn't alone. Three: leaving her children behind in order to protect them was, apparently, just something she did.

Looking at the bright side, Zuko now had a three-year-old younger brother to look after. Looking at the dark side, Zuko now had a three-year-old kid he needed to parent while also keeping him a secret from his father because—may Agni help him—the Fire Lord would have to go through Zuko first if he dared to even look at Lu Ten II.

(AKA an AU in which Zuko is a good big brother and doesn't want another kid to grow up like he did.)

We need Azula redemption where she technically does objectively good things but with questionable methods.

- She changes the law to ban the draft of anyone under 18. But to have that power she defeats a general in an agni kai and takes his title.

- She forbids dragon hunting and enforces the law personally. Anyome caught trying to hunt a dragon gets hunted by Azula.

- When someone breaks out Ozai and their forces storm the palace, she zaps them all, Ozai included.

- Zuko orders her to work at her uncle's tea shop in BSS. Azula does well at the job. Iroh realizes he is no longer tailed by the Dai Li. Iroh then realizes that there is no Dai Li at all.

When questioning Azula all she says is: you told me to clean up and take out the trash.

- She is then sent to the SWT. She is subsequently banned from fishing with lightning. As efficient as it is it makes the fish taste funny.

- She is sent to the NWT. She stages a feminist uprising out of boredom.

- Azula is sent back to the fire nation. Zuko asks her to help the avatar find airbenders in hiding. Aang politely refuses the offer for help.

- Azula journeys to the swamp out of boredom. She ends up in the spirit world. She meets wang shi tong. She has a fight with wang shi tong.

- Out of the ground the library returns. Wang shi tong apologizes to Aang.

- Aang realizes Azula literally beat up a spirit. He does not want to know how.

My hot take for the day is that Aang 100% wins in a 1v1 with Toph if he's allowed to use airbending. Like obviously if he can only use earth Toph will wipe the floor with him but if Aang even just uses air Toph is done for. He doesn't even have to use any of the other elements, just air.

In my opinion, Azula's love language is quality time. (This is a sequel to the Zuko love language post)

Even since her childhood, Azula seemed to be a rather social child. As opposed to Zuko, who didn't seem to have any friends of his own and didn't feel the need to spend time with others except his mother, Azula was seen initiating playtime multiple times. One particular moment of interest is when she pulled Zuko along with her to spy on Ozai and Azulon. There was no need for her to do this, and it would only make it easier for them to get caught, so it only stands to reason that she wanted to spend some mischevious time with her brother.

We also see that Azula seems to act out if she feels left out, such as when Zuko and Ursa excluded her in a flashback in the comics, so she set a bush on fire.

We see that not much has changed after Azula grows up a bit. When given the slightest excuse, she goes out of her way to essentially go on a roadtrip with her friends. She seems to genuinely enjoy having Zuko around, and encourages him to return home, after which she will occasionally approach him to check in. I think the beach showcased a lot of this quality. Azula, despite wanting her father's approval, she doesn't seem as upset to be sent away as Zuko. In fact, she is often the initiator of the group doing 'normal' kid activities. She was the one to initiate the group playing Kuai Ball and seemed excited to go to the party. After the fiasco at the party, she approaches Zuko and invites him to come down to the beach with her and the others.

We also shouldn't forget is that the final straw that lead to Azula's breakdown was Ozai passing up on daddy daughter bonding time during the day of Sozin's Comet.

As Azula's breakdown ensues, she is esentially abandoned by all thouse she cared about. This being the physical manifestation of Azula feeling unloved and uncared for by those she loved is a very good reason to break down, isn't it.

My headcanon is that Toph calls all sighted people “eyeballs” as a pejorative.

Sokka: How could we have missed this?!

Toph: I don’t know, you tell me eyeballs.

[sammienotboo]

Headcanon: Along with her paranoia, Azula grows terrified of being immobilized. Being unable to move and do anything is what gets her instantaneously renders her startled. When she was chi blocked by Ty Lee and frozen by Katara, they had all the chances to kill her with no problem and she wouldn't be able to do anything about it. It’s probable that on her path to redemption she keeps her distance from people, consciously or not.

That's a sad, but a great headcanon I can easily imagine being canon post-war. It won't be easy for Azula to overcome a struggle like this and maybe she'd never really be able to do it. I think with time, she may learn to trust people more, but her wound would still stay deep inside of her and will always be present in the back of her mind in a way.

mai would be considered far more powerful if atla wasn't kids show. she's analytic, unerring, an adept knife thrower, and extremely adaptable, but since nickelodeon can't show much violence because their audience mainly consists of children, we barely see mai's skills throughout the show, even though they are heavily implied to be really precise. that makes people often think that she is weaker than other characters on the show that may have powers/weapons that aren't necessarily bound to direct harm when used.

although i have conflicted feelings towards the new netflix adaption, i hope that there will be more scenes with mai that portray how excellent her handling of weapons could be.

Is there any fics out there where Zuko got scurvy? Cause he was on that ship for a good long while and he is a growing boy, also I don't trust that the fire nation cared about their soldiers' dietary needs let alone their banished prince's. Thus, new headcannon: Zuko fucking got scurvy at some point.

I feel like part of the reason why alternate universe resident evil stuff doesn't work great is cause so much of the characterization is dependent on the world around them. Ethan Winters is desperate to protect his family from shit he barely understands and when that's taken from him he literally goes to the ends of the earth to get his wife and daughter back. Claire is desperate to keep the people in her life together and she gets angry when she's abandoned because she went through so much horror trying to keep her family together. Leon has to make jokes about everything he sees because otherwise he would actually have gone insane by now, and even though it's annoying to the people around him, it's his little way of keeping control.

But then it becomes so hard to take these characters and put them into a different universe because like, how do you translate that? It's not a bad thing necessarily, since Resident Evil is so vast and you can kinda justify anything, but if you take Leon and make him like, just Some Guy, it gets harder and harder to portray him in character.

However I think it would be fucking hilarious to put the RE characters into like the fast food industry. It's the most accurate real world comparison to evil corporations and bioweapon zombies.
