#atla: zuko

[gennianydots]

Zuko: I know what you’re going to say: she’s my sister and I should be trying to get along with her.

Iroh: No. She’s crazy and she needs to go down.

~~~

Uncle Iroh (to Zuko): Lightning is a pure expression of firebending — without aggression. It is not fueled by rage or emotion the way other firebending is. Some call lightning the cold-blooded fire. It is precise and deadly, like Azula. To perform the technique requires peace of mind.

~~~

Uncle Iroh: Fire is the element of power. The people of the fire nation have desire and will and the energy and drive to achieve what they want. Earth is the element of substance. The people of the earth kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring. Air is the element of freedom. The air nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom. Also apparently they had pretty good senses of humor! Water is the element of change. The people of the water tribe are capable of adapting to many things. They have a deep sense of community and love that holds them together through anything.

Zuko: Why are you telling me these things?

Uncle Iroh: It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements and the other nations - will help you become whole.

~~~

Zuko (to the storm): You’ve always thrown everything you could at me. Well, I can take it! And now I can give it back!

~lightning flashes~

Zuko (to the storm): C’mon! STRIKE ME! YOU’VE NEVER HELD BACK BEFORE!

The Storm: ⛈️⛈️⛈️

Zuko: 😭😫

That infamous prison escape.

watching atla for the first time

[biboomerangboi]

Saw this frame on a different reblog by @thatssroughbuddy but why does it look like Iroh is using his phone to take a photo of his nephew at a landmark

Atla nation, come get y'all's juice

A tale of Ba Sing Se.

Happy pride

At least once a month I remember that Ozai ruled for ~3 years. That's shorter than one presidential term. That's nothing. In comparison Zuko - who suffered so much cruelty and was made to feel worthless under Ozai - ruled for ALMOST 70 YEARS. That's more than 22 times the length of Ozai's rule - and he will go down in history as one of the most influential and well loved Fire Lords of all time

Jet from atla is so funny bc like, he's fighting zuko and taunting him being like "bet you wanna use some fire instead of those swords, dont u fireboy" which is a funny thing to say to a guy who is clearly very eager to fight using swords

the last but no the least alta power couple, completing the series ~

love them all 💚💙🧡

Imo, atla has a bittersweet ending

Aang is sitting alone and wearing the air nomads clothes, his culture clothes, a necklace similar to GYATSO's necklace. I can't even imagine the emptiness and sadness he was feeling here

There are no airbenders in the crowd

All nation gathered..... except the air nomads.

No one else in the crowd wearing orange or yellow.

Aang won the war, but his people are still gone.

Yes, he has the Gaang, he has Katara, he has Momo and Appa. But he's still the last airbender.

This is so heartbreaking.

Thinking about Aang and Zuko as canonical platonic best friends forever alters my brain chemistry. 🥰

Inspiration for this came from this magnificent meme @dyingroses

[demaparbat-hp]

He's never happy
