June was the only woman older than Katara and Suki to show up and help the Gaang in the finale and I think that’s ridiculous. We could have seen Yagoda and the Herbalist in the White Lotus (and Miyuki!! She has a cute miniature lotus collar). Perhaps even Haru’s mom showing up somewhere?? IDK the lack of older ladies as respected guides and teachers is irksome and until further notice I’m headcanoning out of spite that they were there we just didn’t see their scenes but they were there dammit
#atla meta#look I love the old men#they are such blorbos#but Yagoda and Hama as teachers?#they really got the short end of the stick#Yagoda gets forgotten even when Katara becomes a successful healer bc Katara didn't want to go to her class therefore the class sucked#which is ass#and then Hama was a victim of the Fire Nation who began harming citizens and forced Katara to learn a perverse sub-bending ability#don't get me wrong I love the ideas for bloodbending especially the thought of it as a medical aid but the way it was introduced#and forcing Katara to learn it the way she did was traumatic to her#We get barely any lady teachers older than the girls in the Gaang and that's really sad#and this sort of ties into Ursa's lack of complete character and the lack of guiding maternal figures#and how there's hardly any mention of the wives and mothers in the FN royal family and their characters#whoops I'm starting to ramble
