a final pre-release analysis
khjhdjkgn so I got an ask about who I think lilia/silver/sebek are based off of, and I threw my dork glasses ON n accidentally wrote abt all the boys instead đ¤Ąđ¤Ąđ¤Ą
Thereâs been talk about this ever since the first dorm came out, and Iâve read & posted theories throughout the months as well, but now that weâre in THE FINAL MONTH, here is my last compilation of thoughts regarding the relationship between the twst boys and their âcounterparts.â
I didnât want to clog that Diasomnia ask with all this extra dorm talk, but pls enjoy my twst essay here even though itâs just word vomit--
SO
Since there is so much vagueness regarding who several of the characters are based off of, Iâve come to the conclusion that maybe they just donât have direct counterparts.
Iâll probably be proven wrong, because we saw in the previews during the Abema TV livestream that the loading screens do reveal who each character corresponds to:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cafb7b93540d38e75fea23134de4c172/1a154c12cef58f98-79/s540x810/172ffe56fceb3e93f40afc511e674e5c29302df6.jpg)
But since they havenât confirmed much for the side characters officially yet, except for the fact that theyâre based off the âvillainsâ world,â Iâve taken this as âthe villains + their surroundings (which includes their supporting/foiling characters of course, but also just character dynamics in general).
In the case of Scarabia/Aladdin, we know Jafar as the royal vizier who is secretly plotting to overthrow the sultan. This makes perfect sense for Jamil. True, heâs not the dorm leader, but isnât that the whole point of Jafarâs story? Heâs going to overthrow the dorm leader.
So then, does that mean Kalim was inspired by the sultan? Even though technically he should be considered a villain too? I think, if at all, heâd be better described as âthe sultan to Jamilâs Jafarâ rather than just âthe sultanâ himself.
Kalim has quoted references from both the sultan and the genie so far, neither of which were antagonists in Aladdin. And personally, he emits Prince Ali vibes to me as well. All three of these characters acted as foils to Jafar.
But that doesnât explain why someone hypothetically based off of âgoodâ characters is attending a villainsâ school. Youâd think some villainous attributes wouldâve shone through by now, but literally nothing weâve seen of Kalim has looked âbadâ in any way.
I think Kalim isnât intentionally a villain. But as of now, his faults are most prominent in his relationship with Jamil. Itâs canon that Jamilâs family has been bound to Kalimâs for a very long time, and Jamil basically grew up as Kalimâs servant. While this definitely reflects the sultan/vizier dynamic, it also reflects a genie/master relationship. Unlike Jafar, who was working for the sultan voluntarily (albeit with ulterior motives), Jamil doesnât seem to have a choice in the matter. He just follows Kalim around, forced to do anything he asks.
I think, while Kalim might not have a direct counterpart, he represents several catalysts which influenced Jafarâs fate, and in Twst, his whole existence will undoubtedly influence the fate of Jamil in a similar fashion.
Pomefiore/Snow White is more or less obvious. Vil represents the Evil Queen, Rook represents her huntsman. But tbh, the original Disney huntsman wasnât really that much of a villain himself. However his betrayal to the Queen was the reason she had to go out of her way to come kill Snow White herself, the reason she poisoned an apple, and ultimately, the reason she ended up getting killed by the dwarves. So the huntsman was definitely a driving force in the story, however minimal his betrayal felt at the time.
The other things commonly associated with the Queen are the magic mirror and the poisoned apple. We already know the mirror still exists and is now called the Mirror of Darkness, which leaves the poisoned apple.
I think itâd be really weird if Epel was deadass the apple itself. We can go into the etymology of his name - if âepelâ hadnât already sounded like a mispronunciation of âappleâ enough, the Japanese spelling of his name ă¨ă㍠(eperu) has the same pronunciation as ă¨ăă㍠(epperu), which is used for localizing some European translations of the word into Japanese (such as Ăppel in Swedish)
His last name Felmier is spelt ăă§ăŤă㨠(ferumie), which is the same way youâd localize the French word âfermier,â meaning âfarmer.â
So tl;dr - Epelâs name means âApple Farmer.â
I mean... somebody had to plant the tree that poisoned apple came from I guess lmaooo
In Epelâs quote, âApples are awkward and hard to handle... Almost like...â this could imply that heâs had to handle apples for... non-typical reasons? Iâm also interested in what the rest of that sentence is. Almost like... âtheyâre poisoned.â
Ignihyde is also difficult to pinpoint. If they hadnât made it clear that this was the Hercules-based dorm, and if Idia didnât have that vibrant blue fire hair, I never wouldâve assume heâd be representing Hades. They seem like exact opposites; Hades hates the Underworld, Idea enjoys the darkness and gloom. Hades is explosive, Idea is very private and reserved.
The one thing they do have in common is that neither of them want to rule the UnderworldâIdia doesnât seem interested in interacting with his dorm/MC/helping people when needed. But that doesnât mean he doesnât take care of his responsibilities; as he said in his admissions video, his schedule is very busy and he doesnât have time to be idle. Hades is the same way; even though he hates it, he has an extremely strong work ethic.
I donât think Ortho is based off of any particular existing character, but if Idia shares Hadesâ trait in feeling like heâs surrounded by stupidity and no one does anything useful, maybe Ortho was built to relieve that and actually get things done. I also think he was built to take classes for Idia so that Idia doesnât have to leave his room. And Iâve seen other theories suggest he might be Idiaâs real brother, who passed away and was restored in the form of an android.
In Savanaclaw, Jack is the only one that messes everybody up. Leona clearly represents Scar, and Ruggieâs quote, ears, gluttonous personality, and last name all paint him as a hyena.
(His last name is Bucchi / ăăă. The hyenas in The Lion King are all spotted hyenas, which is âbuchi haienaâ in JP.)
And then Jackâs over there being a wolf?? There are no wolves in the movie, but a wolf is a very common predator, and Savanaclaw students are said to share a common trait of being indomitable... in other words, like predators? In that case, a wolf living in this dorm makes sense. He may not have a direct Disney counterpart, but heâs not... out of place.
I talked about Diasomnia in this ask, and my conclusion was:
MalleusâMaleficent
SebekâCrocodile goon
Liliaâ???
Silverâ?????

The Worst of 2019
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b37b167d49c7fc0bc1940a50e71aec7c/a51cb3050045a4ae-77/s540x810/9fe05645dfb57459da61087324acf157c37aff9d.jpg)
I had to follow-up my âBest of 2019âł list with its opposite universe counterpart but before I give the movies that made me suffer another lashing, letâs make a couple of things clear. Iâm not a paid professional and even if I was, all I would be is a film critic. Making movies is hard. Nobody in the industry aims to do a bad job - there are much easier ways to make a living. Even though I mightâve hated these films with a passion that still smolders now, Iâve got mad respect for anyone who decides to put themselves out there and put together a movie. At the end of the day, your work is going to live on. You made something millions will see. Me? Iâll ultimately fade away. Take this into consideration as we single out the movies that tried and failed, sometimes spectacularly.
10. Cats
Cats is the kind of movie that doesnât come around often. Itâs actually kind of fascinating to watch, or it would be if it werenât so boring. Rebel Wilson (who was destined to have a movie on this list when she starred in The Hustle) plays a cat who unzips her skin to reveal an outfit⌠above her skin again? She leads a choreographed troupe of singing mice and cockroaches that fill you with terror and confusion. Itâs as if theyâve been scaled so the actors could scoop them up and swallow them whole - as cats would do - but because human proportions are so different from catâs the objects and other animals they interact with change size from scene to scene. Meanwhile, Idris Elba is prowling around with his coat all open, his non-existent junk exposed to all who want to see. Our main character is so bland and unmemorable she makes no impact on you whatsoever. Thereâs magic in a plot thatâs composed almost entirely of introductions - which might make it accurate to the broadway show but not entertaining as a movie -, dodgy special effects in every frame, lame jokes coming from the left and the right⌠and yet, I donât hate this film like I do the others on this list. In fact, a part of me even admires Cats.
The thing is, had this movie worked, it wouldâve been hailed as genius. It didnât so itâs being ridiculed but I have to give it points for its ambition and willingness to take chances. That means a lot in a year in which every single one of the top ten grossing films were sequels, remakes or expansions of already-existing properties.The gamble didnât pay off, but Cats had the guts to walk up to the plate.
9. Dumbo
I was tempted to lump The Lion King and Aladdin along with this tale of a baby elephant that learns to fly while a family of circus performers learn that the big circus tycoon played by Michael Keaton is a meanie. Few of the Disney âlive-actionâ remakes do anything to validate their existence. Theyâre just feeding you what you can already watch at home for free because you probably already own the originals on home video or you have Disney+. Iâm going to single out Dumbo as the worst because it actually tried something different and failed spectacularly. This means we can expect all future Disney remakes to take as few chances as possible.
8. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
There are other movies I couldâve put in this spot (see the Runner-Ups section below for examples) but I had to consider the experience as well as the movie itself. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot is an unfunny comedy that walks into the room as if itâs going to marry your mother and be your new father. It makes fun of the very thing itâs doing. This might make it appealing to members of the âView Askewniverseâ cult but not to me. Whether youâve been brainwashed by Kevin Smith or not, itâs impossible to sit through the painful bonus material which follows the film, particularly the interviews conducted by Jason Mewes. The actor displays no charisma whatsoever while asking questions you donât care about to people who obviously donât want to be on camera. I get what Smith was doing; he was trying to give his fans more than just the movie but anyone in their right mind shouldâve seen the bonus footage and burned it.
4. Dark Phoenix
What a disappointing way to end the X-Men franchise. Dull until the very end and then interesting for just enough time to make you realize you didnât just dream it all, the movie was a bad idea from the start. We havenât known the young version of the X-Men long enough for this story to mean anything and the choices made to make this story more faithful to the comics makes you wonder if you stepped into the wrong movie. Even before seeing Dark Phoenix, I thought people were being too harsh on The Last Stand. They did a lot of things wrong in 2006 but they had the good sense to leave out the aliens. Itâs not great but itâs been somewhat redeemed since because its plot advanced the series and meant something in the end. Even if Disney had considered keeping this franchise alive while it was acquiring Fox, this is such a mess they now have no choice but to reboot the whole thing.
4. Jexi
Jexi feels like it just escaped from a time capsule. Even when it wouldâve been new, it wouldnât have been funny. This had no business appearing in theatres and watching the trailer again reminded me of why I hated it as much as I did. If you suspect you have mutant powers that just need to be unlocked by a traumatic or life-altering event, barricade your doors and start playing this movie. Youâll want to escape so desperately, you might suddenly develop the ability to bend space and time.
6. Rambo: Last Blood
This 5th entry in the Rambo series didnât even have the guts to commit to being a proper conclusion. The titular character appears to succumb to his wounds as the picture closes⌠only to get up and go find medical attention during the end credits. Senselessly gory and violent, its depiction of Mexico leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
5. Shaft
No one was asking for this movie, not even fans of the original Richard Roundtree films or the 2000 Sam Jackson reboot. It tired story attempts to introduce a new version of the classic blaxploitation character to a new audience. In the process, it makes you hate the two âheroesâ we follow through a generic plot filled with offensive humor. The only good thing about Shaft is that it prompted me to check out the originals.
3. My People, My Country
The Farewell made me think a lot about how we should view other cultures, particularly China. In it, Awkwafinaâs Billi is caught in a moral dilemma when she learns her beloved grandmother is dying and that her family is keeping the secret from sweet Nai Nai. You go in thinking the American-raised woman is going to do the right thing by tearing the charade apart but itâs not long before you realize this scenario isn't that simple. When it comes to My People, My Country, I am going to judge. Whatâs the moral of this movie again? Give up your life, your dreams, your family for the sake of a country that sees you as nothing more than an expandable pion? If that werenât bad enough, the movieâs so dull itâll be an epic struggle to stay awake. Whose idea was it to have an entire segment of this anthology dedicated to the engineers who ensured the mechanism that would raise Chinaâs flag in 1949? Itâs as exciting as it sounds.
2. ¥Ay, mi madre!
The worst part of this list is that I know how few people reading will be able to relate. ÂĄAy, mi madre! wasn't released theatrically in North America, but movies release âStraight to Netflixâ have become such a big deal Iâll make an exception to my usual rule of disqualifying direct-to movies from this list. In terms of filmmaking, this is the worst movie Iâve seen in a long, long time. Itâs more technically inept than anything else on this list by far. The comedy is so unfunny itâll make you question your life, the actors are not convincing even before they open their mouths to speak and the ending might as well be a big middle finger towards the people watching. It ha no ending, almost as if they cobbled together the few salvageable strands of footage someone scooped out of the trash into something vaguely related to âcoherentâ. Remember the name so you know never to click âplayâ if you happen upon it like I did.
The Runner-Ups
Simmba
I was deeply offended by this Bollywood film but technically, itâs a 2018 movie so I decided to only include it here. Itâs loathsome but admittedly, my hatred for it has somewhat subsided since I saw it. Donât ask me why. This movie sucks.
Playmobil The Movie
This is what we thought we were going to get when they announced âThe Lego Movieâ. Terrible songs, a lazy plot that makes terrible use of the property itâs advertising, unfunny jokes, and a lack of imagination guarantee this film is destined to make everyone involved regret the day it was released.
Hellboy
Yet another failed superhero movie that enthusiastically sets itself up for a sequel when itâs so obvious to everyone watching that there isnât going to be one. The one thing itâs got going for it is a pretty cool scene towards the end where demons escape into our world and begin tearing civilians to pieces. To get to that, you must sit through endless scenes that bash you over the head with a mallet marked âRated Râ. Gallons of blood and intestines spilling onto the floor, doesnât mean the movie is meant for adults. This was written by a teenager disguised as a grown-up.
Gemini man
They waited all these years for the de-aging technology to get where it is now⌠for this story? Someone shouldâve pointed out to director Ang Lee when he was getting ready to film that training doesnât alter your DNA. Why waste millions cloning Will Smith when you could just raise a normal kid and train them to be an assassin? Ultimately, the movie isnât really all that bad. Itâs watchable but itâs such a big disappointment it needs to be taught a lesson.
Replicas
Iâm giving this one a break because no one saw it. I also think itâll play better at home, where youâll be free to make fun of it or verbally abuse the loopy plot aloud while your friends listen. If thereâs a movie this year that was âSo bad itâs goodâ, itâs this one.
After
At least âTwilight�� had its original take on vampires and some danger mixed into its romantic triangle to keep things theoretically interesting. This film started off as - I kid you not - a âOne Directionâ fan-fic. The drama it serves up will have you howling like a werewolf flying through laughing gas. On the upside, a sequel is coming. In fact, the teaser is scheduled for today!
1. Unplanned
This was the most uncomfortable movie experience of 2019. Most of the Christian propaganda films donât seem to put much effort into their production - theyâre preaching to the choir so why should they? - but 2019 had Breakthrough, which was quite good. It showed these movies donât have to appeal solely to the churches who will buy tickets en-masse. This movie is ridiculous, gory like a horror film, misleading, and phony. It did have what is undoubtedly the most outrageous and unintentionally funny dialogue of the year, however. âFast food outlets look to break even on the hamburgers they sell. Thatâs all they do is break even ... Do you know where they make all their money? The french fries and soda. Low cost, high margin items. Abortion is our fries-and-soda.â Are we sure this was based on a true story? If so, I donât know why the director decided to edit out the scenes in which Cheryl (Robia Scott) takes the buckets of aborted fetuses home to cook them. I think it wouldâve really driven home how evil her character is. I felt dirty sitting in the theater next to people who ate this up.

Letâs Read The Promise: Part 1
Everyone hears that the Avatar: The Last Airbender comics are bad. And they super fucking are. I tried to give it a chance, and I found that The Promise is probably the worst of them that Iâve skimmed. The Search is eh. But OHHH MANNN The Promise. Itâs perhaps one of the most ridiculous things Iâve ever read, and is in general a complete trainwreck. Iâm not posting each page as an image because thatâs tedious and you can go look them up on your own, but there will be some snippets here and there. Without further ado, a play by play of ATLA: The Promise.
In brief, this comic is about Aang and Zuko working together to remove the Fire Nationâs colonies and their culture from the Earth Kingdom shore. Surprisingly, it handles this sort of situation in a really dumb way. /s You would think Aang and Zuko together would be able to come to some reasonable conclusions, but you know. Iâll get to that later. It opens with the same intro from the shows narrated by Katara, except this time itâs different. Because itâs after the war and all.
But I believed Aang could save the world. And you know what? I was right. With the help of his friends, Aang defeated Fire Lord Ozai and ended the hundred year war. Zuko, Ozaiâs son and our ally, became the new Fire Lord. Together, with Earth King Kuei, Aang and Zuko promised to restore the four nations to harmony.
Except didnât he run away to travel the world with his bear? If he did go back to Ba Sing Se after the war, weâd have to assume he didnât die out in the wilderness or get captured at any point in time. Weâd also have to assume that the people saw him and just LET him back into power, despite being the puppet for the Dai Li. And do the Dai Li still exist? They do in Korra, but I canât see them here. Inconsistencies, oh well, who cares?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/02ed723def332bd163290eecaace262a/tumblr_inline_ooffv2L5v81ujdhbu_400.jpg)
There are about eight fire nation colonies on the shore. Zuko decides to help Kuei âremove those colonies by doing whatever it takesâ. This is very vague and already sounds like a bad idea. Cough cough. Sokka names the movement to remove them the Harmony Restoration Movement while Toph suddenly learns Invisibility Bending.

Then they go to Irohâs shop cause why not. And we suddenly travel ~back in time~ to the Season 3 finale and see Katara and Aang smooching. Which apparently Sokka steps in on. It feels sort of like a sitcom. And Sokkaâs like blehhh kissing! Katara and Sokka fight about it and you can really feel the tension in their dialogue. Gotta give mad credit to the writers here. /s/s/s/s

Then theyâre on their way to a festival right after the war ended, and itâs going to be great itâs got fireworks and everything and

Oh my god. This is the angstiest thing I have ever seen. First off, why would Zuko be asking Aang this? Why not ask Katara? She clearly hated you (lol). Aangâs whole thing was how much he didnât want to kill Ozai. Even IF Zuko started âbecomingâ his father, how would he expect Aang to be the one to murder him?
I also understand this is a natural emotion for people. Like, if you had an abusive father you probably wouldnât want to turn out like him. But I imagine itâs somewhat different if your father and all his fathers before him committed mass genocide. If youâre raised to think thatâs pretty wrong, hell, he even thought it intrinsically as a lil boy, then you probably wonât kill a lot of people. I donât know just food for thought .And as an added fact, all the Fire Lords had their dads alive when they were conditioned to kill everyone. So I really donât think Zuko would make any decisions as bad as his fatherâs. Maybe bad decisions, heâs hotheaded, but heâs not a murder. He wouldnât even touch Zhao because it reminded him TOO MUCH of what Zukoâs dad did to him. It just seems out of character. But not as out of character as Aang KILLING Zuko.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ebf1330f9f7627587dc5c97e927b1c3e/tumblr_inline_oogw2aHlDQ1ujdhbu_540.jpg)
Katara seems to be cool with it, though.
It timeskips to a year later and we see that Zuko is worried about rebel Fire Nation peoples to try to assassinate him. This I can agree with. There would have to be some people who oppose Ozaiâs imprisonment. And itâs very sudden for a 16-17-ish year old boy to become your new ruler. He wakes up one night thinking someone will assassinate him, and guess what he was right. And would you guess who it is???
A teenage girl! Got to keep all the cast the same age. Wouldnât want a hired hitman or anything. This teenage girl is so rebellious. She came all the way from the west coast of the Earth Kingdom to kill Zuko. Sheâs from the oldest Fire Nation colony and sheâs here to take revenge, because apparently....the Restoration Movement is going to destroy all the colonies?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cb08805f114f0ad15e1930370f85852c/tumblr_inline_oogwn2D0Hh1ujdhbu_540.jpg)
There was never any indication as to what this âmovementâ would consist of until now besides âremove themâ. I didnât imagine removing them would mean removing the culture or the people? You see, the rational thing to do would be to remove the government so the Earth Kingdom could control the land. There could be an intermingling of cultures and it may be interesting, but definitely not bothersome. Thatâs why some of France looks like Germany. They moved in and then the land went back to France and now they just all hang out there. Thereâs no concrete explanation to the reader of what this movement does. So really I still canât say it would really destroy all the buildings and evac. all the people but Hell. It might.
Isnât vague writing cool?
So Zuko sends this girl back to her home colony in cuffs. Her dad finds her and it turns out her dad is the mayor. Now I can understand their trouble. He may worry he might not have any position of power in the colony anymore, but hey, that might not happen. Itâd be ridiculous to install an Earth Kingdom specific mayor, maybe even a little racist? It could happen though, so you understand your distress--

except NO! Itâs not about that at all. Apparently the Restoration Movement is now Confirmed to Remove All Fire Nation People. Great. This went downhill fast.
Then this guy says hey your father wouldnât be proud of your actions and Zuko attacks him.

Sheesh.
Then it cuts to Aang forcibly removing everyone from their homes and putting them into a new and confusing country. Cool. But suddenly when they get there a soldier tells them that they all need to leave! Because Zuko has stopped supporting the Restoration Movement! So that means that all Fire Nation Colonials are barred from entering the country??????

??????????????????????????????????????????
I donât think i have to even explain why this is one of the worst ideas ever. Why forcibly remove or never allow in? Why not the middleground? The gray area? That whole part of the damn original show that was toted around so gloriously. How extremes are bad and not everything should be taken far this way or the other. But whatever. Fuck the show. Letâs do this instead.
It cuts to Tophâs metalbending academy and we learn that Zuko has holed himself up in Yu Dao. No one is allowed in or out. Toph says heâs becoming like Ozai. Aang is meditating and talking to Roku, who thinks Aang will be a good guy if he kills Zuko. This could just be a dumb rehash of the show where none of the other Avatars give Aang the answers he wants. Maybe the Lion Turtle will come back too and give Aang some Complacency Bending to fix Zuko.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/83504fdd308235dd5b83e4f1e898f725/tumblr_inline_oogy6mR5di1ujdhbu_540.jpg)
I like this though. Aang is set on his own motivations and protecting Zuko as his friend. Heâs not even looking Roku in the eye. Their worldviews are so different. Neat.
They arrive at Yu Dao to confront Zuko. The walls are barred and Aang and Katara decide to go in themselves, scaling up the wall to get past the gaurds. This comic site has custom annotations like old Youtube videos by the way, and I just thought Iâd show you this.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/59c21f2d6d5b1a7688181153d86303b4/tumblr_inline_oogyhtlXtf1ujdhbu_540.jpg)
Typically the rule with pet names is if your partner says one you donât immediately say it back. But OK. I guess âbabeâ was too adult for the demographic. I just canât see these two really using pet names at all. Like Aang would respect his girlfriend so much heâd probably be happy enough just getting to say her real name so often.

We also learn here when he gets inside the walls that âFlameo, Hotmanâ is actually spelled âFlamio Hotmenâ. I cannot accept this.
Aang enters and bows to the General and they start attacking him and Katara.

If theyâre both trespassers why are they only attacking Aang and not Katara? How is Aang that close to the fire and heâs not got a Zuko burn yet? These important questions and more brought to you by me.

lol
Katara gets fed up with these people burning Aang and does a Dr. Crocker-esque panel by panel of her saying
âStop. Trying. To. Set. My.

Reminds me of something else....something....even more awkward to say while attacking people....hm...
âStay away from my dadâs ex-girlfriend!â
Oh well. I must have forgotten what it was. (coughKorraDoesntExistcough)
Then Zuko comes in and grabs Katara in a weird and compromising position. She says stop youâre hurting me oh no. And Zuko says not until you stop hurting my guards. Which she didnât really hurt any of them. She demobilized them like Aang would, but theyâre all still ok. She did throw ice shards, like pointy ones, Not sure what happened to that poor guy.
Aang gets mad at Zuko and they start fighting. Aang tries to talk to him while they are fighting and itâs kind of like a Naruto battle. And then....

God dammit.
But itâs ok because Katara does what she always does and just walks inside Aangâs killer air puncture ball no problem and touches his face to bring him out of the Avatar State. Which is sweet and I always like it when she did that. But how did she get inside the Aang ball?

Then Zuko says ok fine we can all calm down and talk. By the way, Zuko is growing incredibly weird cheekbones here. I think itâs a part of Brykeâs direction, because if you look at Korra almost every single male (except Bolin) has killer cheekbones. Like really really skinny face cheekbones. And now Zuko has them here.

Maybe theyâre trying to represent Zuko becoming his father. Because Ozai had cheekbones too. But how does one get cheekbones like this in a year? Earlier in the comics, he didnât have a face like this. He looks like a little skeleton man. Maybe itâs supposed to portray his aging due to stress like Lincoln or something. But man. It just doesnât look like Zuko anymore. It looks like cheekbonko. Thatâs his new name.
Zuko had a change of heart after talking to the family in Yu Dao he met.

(gee maybe you should let the government be in control of the towns but let the people stay there because it is an old colony. Or let the colony stay so long as they donât harass the Earth people. Or set up a joint government sort of thing with a council to rule these specific colony towns. Or anything but this dumb plot. ALSO LOOK AT ZUKOâS WEIRDASS HEXAGON FACE CHEEKBONES FUKC)
Also Katara doesnât say anything she just stands there looking sad and confused. But just to make sure she does say something she says maybe Yu Dao should be the exception and only they can stay. Why is no one smart in this universe. But anyway, she decides to have another meeting with the Earth king.
It cuts to Zuko. The Kyoshi Warriors are his new bodygaurds. He gets up in the night to get water, but really he goes to see his father and DUN DUN DUN.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/de24fbee3391e10ffd5688cc4008eb27/tumblr_inline_ooh0d4eCIi1ujdhbu_540.jpg)
Well that was anticlimactic. Just seventy pages of UGH....THIS IS SO INFURIATING. But you know thatâs fine.
This has been Part 1 of The Promise.
My predictions are Aang will not kill Zuko. (hes in the other comics) And they will remove everyone from their homes. Everyone will be happy despite that fact and Aang will get a kiss from his âsweetieâ the end.
But who knows?

How To Make a Leo Man Miss You
New Post has been published on https://www.astrology-india.com/how-to-make-a-leo-man-miss-you/
How To Make a Leo Man Miss You
There is nothing worse than the depressing emotions that you get with a separation from a loved one and the feelings of isolation and of being alone.
I know, I have also experienced these feelings so I hope you appreciate why I can help to show you how to make a Leo man miss you.
A man born under the star sign of Leo is usually a very strong and confident person. It is true that he can do anything on his own and that he just doesnât need a partner to complete him, but the truth is told, every Leo man just loves to be in a relationship. Actually, he is the most romantic of all Zodiac signs.
There are ways to make this guy miss you and want you back in his life, and I am about to tell you everything that you need to know in order to succeed in that. Just keep reading.
But before I begin, I must tell you about a new product from James Bauer who is a leading relationship expert, which uncovers a Leo manâs secret obsession. Finding out more about this would certainly help you to get your Leo man back and make him miss you.
Now, letâs work through some important steps that you need to take to get your crush to re-connect with you.
5 Tips to make a Leo man miss you.
Re-establish your self-worth
If you have lost your confidence during your relationship, there is a possibility that it may have had an influence on his opinion about you.
If you want to make him miss you, you need to remind him of the good times you shared and when you had no doubts about the relationship.
Of course, never forget that having self-confidence is something you should work on for your own sake, not for the sake of others. Love yourself, and you will literally shine.
The attraction that he had for you originally must be re-discovered. Focusing on the things he loved about you when you first met will make the attraction even better than before. If you think that your Leo man wonât notice it, you are wrong. He will want to get you back in his life for sure.
Become attractive to other men, too.
Try posting more pictures on Instagram, for example. You need to be wanted by other men, and make your Leo a bit jealous. He needs to be reminded of what he had when he was with you. And if you show him that many men notice you and want to be with you, he will start missing you instantly.
Also, you should definitely seek help from James Bauerâs program about finding out what his secret obsession is. With this information, you will know what exactly you should do in order to make him want to come back to you again.
Be fun and try to enjoy life
This is probably the most important piece of advice that I can give you. A Leo is the most playful of all the Zodiac signs. He wants to have fun not just in a relationship, but in life as well. Maybe your relationship became a bit too routine or maybe you two just didnât do interesting and new things.
But the causes of your breakup are not so important now. When you get back together there will be plenty of time to discuss what happened and how you can stop the same occurring again. For now, letâs focus only on how to make him miss you.
I think that you should definitely watch this youtube video about things that you could do in order to save your relationship with a Leo man. This astrologer is very open-minded, positive, easy to follow and she provides detailed information.

Let him see you at your best
If you two still hang out together in the same place, try to be goofier, funnier and more positive. Always smile and be in your element. Always be pretty, as well. If you are sleepy or feeling under the weather, stay home and donât go out somewhere he can see you. You donât want to seem boring and remind him of the bad things that happened between you two.
Tell jokes, but not about him or yourself. Unlike, for example, a Scorpio, this guy doesnât think that self-deprecating jokes are funny. And of course, he will probably find jokes about himself insulting or humiliating, especially if you tell them in front of other people. Always protect this guyâs ego, no matter what.
Remind him of all the fun that you two had when you were together, and he will become nostalgic. I assure you that he will want you back.
Be honest with him, and step back a little
A Leo is a fixed zodiac sign. That means that he is a very loyal person and that he hates dishonesty. Never be shady with him and tell him everything that is on your mind.
However, make sure not to tell him how you feel about him, you will get his attention and keep him guessing.
He needs to chase you a bit. Like any other fire sign, this guy loves to play cat and mouse. If you are too easy to get, you will not be interesting prey.
A Leo man will want to hunt you, even if you are his former partner. Donât take that pleasure away from him, because you risk making things boring again. A man born under the star sign of Leo is also associated with the sign of the lion with similar characteristics of being the king of the jungle.
Understanding a Leo manâs traits and characteristics will help you to know how he reacts in different situations within a relationship. You may find it helpful to look at this article that delves deeper into his zodiac character.
Conclusion
I must tell you that making a Leo man miss you is easier than getting his attention. So, if you have managed to attract him once, you are certainly capable of making him miss you!
Donât forget to always try to look your best and be perfect in front of him. Also, donât forget to check out James Bauerâs program. You will not be disappointed, believe me.
If you manage to make other men fight for you, you will certainly make your Leo man want to be with you again. Just follow my advice and you will make him miss you for sure. I believe in you. You will certainly manage to get him back.
