so i disappeared the last couple of days because i was watching the second and third season of atla to catch up to speed so that i can start watching legend of korra and MAN did i have a BLAST!!! obviously i knew it was going to be great and guess what, it was great!!!

the downside to this is that im so caught up in the euphoria of having just finished watching something really good that i don’t think i can start LoK anytime soon. i gotta savour atla for a while before i can do that lmao

#i already knew all the important plot beats from reading meta analyses and looking at gif sets on tumblr obviously #i never actually got around watching the 2nd and 3rd season cause i didn't get around watching it with the friend i watched 1st season with #that being said seeing everything coming together is still exciting and knowing abt the stuff beforehand didn't ruined anything for me #mae overshares #i even saw the full clip of aang vs ozai fight on youtube and remembered a lot from it. but watching it in the context of the episode?#IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME. it was like watching it for the first time #but because i read metas beforehand i kept thinking abt those analyses when i was watching scenes with azula #some of those scenes referenced in that meta post abt toxic friendship azula has with ty lee and mai are shorter than i expected #i liked azula even before watching any of episodes she was in & i still liked her. i expected her to be a great antagonist & she delivered!#i sort of worried that i wouldnt like azula if i watched the episodes she was in cause i worried i missed something abt her #but no she's exactly how i imagined her to be. i didn't learn anything new abt her #sometimes you just gotta appreciate a girl that's genuinely fucked-up in the head you know #i think it was A LOT easier to like her because she was a girl too. i wouldn't appreciate her kind of character if she wasn't a woman #that being said I love katara and aang and TOPH (oh toph!!!) more than i thought i would!!!!#and those posts that said azula wasn't that great of a bender? yeah no her bending was ok. she was proficient but that was it #she didn't invent anything. and katara DID beat her twice!!! her genius lays in her ability to emotionally manipulate people #also abt katara....oh i love her so much more than i thought i would. i love her so much. abt that episode where she sought vengeance?#im in fact so very glad she didn't forgive. actually her anger was so justified that i almost didnt think she should let that go either #katara was the kind of character whose anger is so righteous and justified that it almost felt wrong to tell her to let the anger go #but her anger was hurting her. so im glad she found peace but you dont need to find peace from forgiveness. great message #also i thought i'd see katara and zuko being together but i don't. i like all the canon romances (even tho they are all hetero! rare for me)#if zuko didnt fucked up at the end of season 2....maybe. but he did and they were barely friends. so. no. im glad nothing happened #and despite knowing literally everything abt the episode with hama. the episode abt katara's quest for vengeance and the beach episode #i still watched all these episodes all the way through without skipping a single scene because they are so important and good #altho i do have second thought abt hama. cause i was remembering the meta i read abt her being the reason katara's mom is killed #and unfortunately yeah. as much as i sympathized with her trauma and her need for vengeance. she in fact did get katara's mom killed #i reblogged the metas that only sympathized with hama but not the one that pointed out her selfishness...it was a shame. that post was right #so anyways atla blogging gonna start soon sdfjasdf
