I think mostly what young fandom types (and I guess younger people in general) who are very very invested in the idea that “20 is still basically a minor” need to understand is that the feeling of “I’m just a child pretending to be an adult, and everyone else around me is a REAL adult” is DEEPLY universal (and won’t stop, ever, by the way, sorry!) and also is not, like, praxis.

Believe me, I get it, but the self-infantilization needs to stop, especially when you’re trying to engage in conversations about actual children and the harms they can face. Yes, it is scary to wake up and realize you’re 22 and you still feel like you’re 15, but it happens to all of us. You’re an adult. You have to deal with it.

Actually, 'Zelda' is the name of the princess. The guy who runs around smashing everyone's pots is just called 'Zelda's monster'.

Modern day AU/ "Real World" AU centered around a community theatre, very much volunteer and typically on the amateur side of semi-professional, that wishes they were the Ember Island Players type thing EXCEPT

They are doing the classic play, Love Amongst the Dragons, and the director (Zuko) is taking it Way Too Seriously, which is grating against his Dragon Emperor, Sokka, who only tried out because Suki was interested in being the Dragon Empress (which, mission accomplished). It could be understandable if he was just picky about the Evil Water Spirit's interpretation (Jet is the third actor for maximum everyone snarking at each other and rising sexual tension in the room each rehearsal) because Zuko apparently played that role in high school--though they called the character Blue Spirit in that production--but Zuko is micromanaging everyone and interrupting his own rehearsals incessantly to keeping going over each line multiple times and demonstrating how he wants them said, never satisfied even when the actors think they are copying "his vision" perfectly.

Zuko would say he isn't obsessive, and he isn't normally a perfectionist (lie). This is just his favorite play, and not worth doing if it's not right. No matter that his opinion is that few professionals even do the play justice and he will be holding his cast to a higher standard.

Mai is Zuko's stage manager.

Azula is the costumer, or that's what she says. She doesn't sew. She is very clear about this. Ty Lee is the one taking everyone's measurements in an early rehearsal, so maybe she is sewing the costumes? Nobody is clear. Nobody is sure why Azula is at so many rehearsals either. She sits in a folding chair and JUDGES. This is her true service to the production. Mainly, she seems to be judging and heckling Zuko, but occasionally she chimes in to backseat direct and chime in with notes for the actors, sometimes agreeing with what Zuko has said, sometimes contradicting him. Zuko doesn't tell her to shut up as often as one would think, not even when she's heckling him-a surprise since he's pretty temperamental . It's about a fifty/fifty split on whether he tells everyone to ignore her or agrees with her and changes his own directions when she gives differing notes to the actors. That Azula can quote the play from memory, just like Zuko, goes without saying.

Not much more on plot in the brain right now, except the general "something something zukki or zukka Annoyances to Lovers, but not before Jet has made out with everyone (including Katara that one time she came to the theatre to drop off something to Sokka) in the prop storage room on different rehearsal nights." It's just a fun idea to project out on the world for anyone to comment on or be inspired by.

[snowflake-of-destruction]

really i think the key difference between david tennant and peter capaldi as fans of the show they were in is that david tennant's childhood obsession shows through when he comes face to face with elisabeth sladen in school reunion with all the joy of someone who was in love with the show as a kid in the 70s. you know, like a normal person. (by doctor who standards.) whereas peter capaldi's childhood obsession shows through when he comes face to face with creepy mummy-like cybermen based off a partly-lost william hartnell serial which is deeply deeply disturbing on a psychological level with all the glee of someone who was disturbed on a psychological level by the show as a kid in the 60s
