sibling angst in media always hits different because ugh what do you mean you hate each other but you'd kill for the other but you hate being around each other but doing so brings back your most precious memories. what do you mean thats someone you hate who you have too much in common with. what do you mean you'd throw yourself in front of a train to save them but you cant bring yourself to say that you love them. i love i love i love

For the Spirits—Chapter IX: A Rider Alone

I saw the footprints in the white of the snow

I counted thousands and I was just a rider alone

Eighteen degrees and eighty miles from home, oh no

—Nightshade by The Lumineers

.

Zuko stood at the end of the world, surrounded by miles of snow and the resounding echo of his own shallow breaths. He took everything in, closed his eyes to receive Agni’s light, and howled. Something howled back, and he smiled.

an update on that katara wip i shared. she is still the cutest. (description in alt!)

Just started watching avatar :)

[zukosdualdao]

i’ve sometimes seen the idea that azula cheating in the agni kai by aiming at katara is supposed to show how far she’s fallen and how lost she is because she wouldn’t have cheated before, but that just… does not ring true to me.

i think this idea comes from her characterization of trying to live up to perfection, but i think it’s important to remember she’s functioning under ozai’s definition of perfection, a guy who infamously colluded with his wife to kill his father so that he could be firelord. i don’t get the particular sense he cares how, exactly, azula carries out the goals he’s set for her, as long as she accomplishes them.

and a lot of really prominent azula scenes turn on the axis of her being exactly this underhanded. in the avatar state, she tries to manipulate iroh and zuko into coming home under false pretenses, when she really means to arrest them. in bitter work, seeing she’s outnumbered, she makes a false surrender so that her opponents will hesitate/back down and then attacks iroh when they do. in the crossroads of destiny, she strikes aang with lightning from behind while he’s in the avatar state. in the awakening, she lies that zuko killed aang because she wants an insurance policy she won’t be blamed on a hunch he might be alive.

whether or not these break official rules of combat or acceptable legal/social behavior in-universe, i think it’s hard to deny that these actions form a pattern that showcases azula as someone not concerned with integrity or ideological fairness in such situations.

azula is a fascinating character, and her breakdown in sozin’s comet is tragic. but it’s not because she’s acting out of character; if anything, it’s because she’s falling back on old patterns despite her hallucination of her mother (and therefore her own subconscious) trying to warn her that using fear to control people isn’t truly viable. but that means her entire concept of the world is wrong, so she doubles down and shoots for katara, a noncombatant in this fight, having seen zuko agree to an agni kai in the hopes she wouldn’t get hurt and thus understanding he fears that and will make sure the lightning never reaches her. azula doesn’t care how she wins because it’s never mattered how she wins, as long as she does. but with katara defeating her and ozai’s impending downfall, it’s about to matter a lot more.

I’ll be honest I would have liked more for Ty Lee to rejoin the circus rather than join the kyoshi warriors, she clearly liked the place and it gave her the attention she craved and got denied by her parents during her early childhood. Also acrobatics clearly is something she is amazing at. Her joining the Kyoshi Warriors just made her part of a matched set again. I know people will say she just learned to accept that she can be part of a set and still be her own self or whatever but doesn’t really hit for me. Imo she just got put into the Kyoshi Warriors to give them a power up by giving them access to chi blocking. :P

“I’m going to do the right thing,” Zuko says, hands clenched. He does not say anything more.

(A) Jude and Erin are the same option since they’re played by the same actress, Alexz Johnson. I guess that option could also count as Alexz herself, I did have a crush on the actress.

Kuzai... you probably shouldn't be eating that

[skxawngonearth]

I wish all of you a happy launch day.

To those who will play, may Eywa guide your path. To those who will watch, enjoy the journey.

May we explore the western frontier
