Noren, traditional Japanese fabric dividers, offer a striking yet often overlooked element of Japanese culture. These are rectangular cloths split down the middle, hanging down from a horizontal rod positioned at the entrance of shops, restaurants, and homes. Serving a practical purpose, noren acts as a curtain to shield interiors from the elements, provide privacy, and denote the business's open or closed status. However, the cultural significance of noren extends beyond these utilitarian functions. Traditionally, noren are adorned with the name, logo, or symbol of the establishment, intricately designed and often hand-dyed. The images or kanji characters used aren't chosen lightly; they embody the spirit of the business or home, giving a glimpse into what lies behind the noren. These textile dividers serve as silent communicators, establishing a non-verbal dialogue with passersby and subtly drawing them into the world behind the curtain.

The Ozai, Ursa, & Ikem romance debacle…

I truly honestly hope that the Netflix adaptation doesn’t adapt The Search when it comes to Ozai and Ursa’s relationship. Which, thank Agni seems not to fully be the case. It seems that LA Ozai does care for Ursa and his family members, even Zuko. He show respect to Lu Ten and Iroh and even cried when burning Zuko. He even mentioned the “soft” mother Ursa when talking to Zuko and referenced her when saying “don’t talk to me about loss” Showing that he had feeling for her.

The Search is very poorly written and turn Ozai into a very piss-poor caricature of an evil abusive bad man for no good or compelling reason yet even fails to deliver on that interpretation of Ozai and Ursa’s complex and compelling relationship.

This song is basically the Urzai relationship in the ATLA comics!

If The Search wanted to turn Ozai into a compelling, vicious, dangerous, and cruel monstrous villain in Ursa’s and our own eyes. Then why didn’t Yang have Ozai kill Ikem when he THREATENED his father, Fire Lord’s Azulon life in defiance due to his love for Ursa? Yet, for some reason, he had Ozai spare Ikem’s life due to Ursa's “love” for Ozai which Ozai knows is a blatant lie and stupidly desperate!

The realistic and emotionally heart-wrenching scenario would be for Ozai to march towards Ikem, Ursa tries to stop Ozai, however Ozai scarred Ursa’s wrist by burning her via firebending and then backhanded her causing her lip to bleed. Then proceed to execute Ikem by immolation in front of Ursa’s very eyes. This very demented, sinister, vile, and cruel brutal punishment for DARING to raise his hand against Fire Lord Azulon, Fire Prince Ozai, and the Fire Sages wishes would had created a compelling narrative regarding Ursa having complete and justified loathing of her betroth Ozai.

It was extremely foolish, idiotic, unreasonable, and unrealistic to have a no-named peasant like Ikem, who is not a firebender, attack the royal carriage and guards no matter how brave and noble his affection and intentions were regarding the integrity of his childhood love. Fire Lord Azulon and Fire Prince Ozai probably should have immediately immolated Ikem and his familial relations due to his affront against the Fire Lord and his son. Trying to stand up against the authoritarian, oppressive, violent, and vicious absolute monarchical regime of Fire Lord Azulon and Fire Prince Ozai should have come with immense consequences just like the fire nation rebels in Episode 3: Omashu in NATLA.

Zuko mentions that Ozai and Ursa’s along with their family used to be happy, and we saw that in Zuko's flashbacks. Yang, just decided to make Ursa a victim because in his mind: URSA WOMAN, OZAI BAD MAN, SHE MUST BE HELD, HOSTAGE!!! While Ozai and Ursa arrange marriage does make sense and was confirmed by the creators. It doesn't mean that Ozai and Ursa relationship was ALWAYS BAD, or SHE WAS KIDNAPPED! Plus, the Urzai relationship is quite normal in the antiquity of Asian societies that the Fire Nation is based on aka Shogunates of Japan and Imperial Chinese Dynasties!!!

Personally, I am afraid that the ATLA comics are going to screw up the Fire Nation Royal Family Characterization and Dynamics along with making them one-dimensional especially Ozai and Azulon. They might legit have Azulon and Ozai be abusive and beat Ilah and Ursa. I'm so doomer blackpilled regarding ATLA comics considering the Serach. This is probably why the comic writers ignore making a comic Pre-Zuko Alone flashbacks.

Ozai's harshness and ruthless regarding Zuko has nothing to do with Ursa or Ikem forbidden love! Ozai wants Zuko and Azula to both prove themselves. Ozai doesn't favor Zuko or Azula. It is about which child will succeed Sozin, Azulon, and his legacy as future Fire Lord. In fact, Ozai doesn't want Zuko or Azula to think that they are the “favorite” child. He wants Azula and Zuko to improve through competition. Because of the “only the greatest of pressures can forge diamonds” & “steel sharpen steel” mentality. Ozai has the mentality of an imperialist warlord. Ozai isn't trying to be the world's most loving and caring father but rather continue and build upon a powerful and dominant legacy that his forefathers had created before him. He wants Zuko & Azula to be cold, ruthless, heartless, vicious, and brutal imperialistic warmongers like him (Ozai), his father (Azulon), and his grandfather (Sozin).

poly relationship with nora & ren

pairing: nora valkyrie x gn!reader x lie ren

tags: wholesome fluff, polyamorous relationship, established renora (+reader joining), physical affection (tons of touching)

nora and ren always suspected they'd end up together one day. what they didn't expect was that there'd be another person that the two of them fall in love with; you!

nora is caught off guard by her feelings for you, even feeling guilty because of them! she loves ren a lot and feels terrible that she can't call him her favorite person

but ren isn't upset about that at all! he doesn't mind sharing nora or you and assures nora that she has nothing to feel guilty about!

nora is the one that makes the first move on you, after being reassured by ren that it's alright! though after meeting ren, the two of you grow close incredibly quickly!

the three of you all start dating at the same time, despite nora and ren being aware of each other's feelings for much longer. but they wanted to wait and ask you out together, before becoming a couple!

nora is the affectionate one in the relationship, but ren craves affection too! whenever he wants to have the two of you near him, he pulls you into a tight hug and keeps you close, until he's feeling better!

whenever ren is being affectionate, it feels incredibly special! he's usually more reserved, so when he compliments you two or initiates intimacy, it just makes nora and you swoon!

ren also has a jealous side, that nora and you don't get to see a lot! he's never jealous of the two of you, but he gets really upset when anyone flirts with you two! he's just glaring at them from afar, until they get the hint and leave!

nora and ren are both very protective, but view you three as equals! everyone gets the chance to play the hero and protect the other two at some point!
