Please excuse me as I re-enter my ATLA phase

[jordieeeee]

I'm rewatching ATLA because I never finished it.. I made it all the way to book three and got bored (don't come for me) so now I'm rewatching it.

And BOTH TIMES I could tell that old mf was Bumi like c'monn

Avatar the Last Airbender - Toph x Zuko

[muzsmocsing]

What I love about Toph the most (besides being arguably the funniest cutest bamf on the show) is she's the best at what she does because she's blind, NOT despite it.

There's this narrative in real life of "overcoming your disability!" and "not letting it stop you!" that irks me, because people's disabilities DO stop them sometimes. Being on sand, swimming, and flying are disorienting and awful for her.

But being blind helps her be connected to the earth in ways people with average vision can't be, like the badgermoles who originated the art and taught her directly. Her blindness is part of why she's the greatest earthbender of her generation, if not the greatest ever.

And that just makes me happy.

Next Dark Night in Ba Sing Se part! Is! Fully outlined!

...And so is the majority of series in lesser detail because oops my hand slipped.

[atla-suki]

first look at young adult gaang (for the upcoming 2025 animated atla movie) ‼️‼️‼️‼️

they are SO PRETTYYYYY 🤧 closeups:

oh wow *passes away*

[weaponizedducks]

zutara is my very favourite dynamic because they're just judgy bitch besties together. stupid shenanigans duo. impulsive yelling duo. sokka is like 90 percent of their impulse control so when he's gone they go haywire. this is even canon sokka leaves them alone for one minute and suddenly they're off to kill a guy. good for them. let them be crazy besties together, striking fear into the hearts of sexist cunts

Wish they'd leant more into the Beifongs being nobles in tlok. Like in atla Toph was a runaway twelve-year-old, but the lok Beifongs are rather open with who they are.

Like think of the possiblities.

Lin, as the beifong backelorette getting marriage requests and just. Tossing them straight into the fire

Her getting invited to so many balls and shit and being mad about it.

Suyin being frowned upon because she married a man of lower status and her children being told that their blood is sullied and all that nice stuff

Dumb idea, nobility tried to get Opal and Wu engaged, but Su SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN. Also one of the reasons Su dislikes the Earth Queen

Su's kids having etiquette lessons and HATING THEM. They hated to be during the lessons and got upset and restless. Baatar Jr would just be thinking about where else he could be. Huan would be doodling and Opal would be reading under the desk. The twins would be wiggling in their seats.

And Kuvira would be confused and upset ugh. I can imagine the other noble kids in the Beifongs' circles would exclude her. The Beifong kid would be so mad about this but Kuvira would take it to heart.

And she sorta starts disliking the nobility. But like i feel like in her child head the Beifongs are sorta seperate from the nobilit and it's not until she's in her teens that she realises that the Beifongs are also part of the problem.

I can see Huan being super resentful of the title. He wants his art to be judged by its merit not by his own status. So he might like spread his art under an alias or smth maybe.

Opal becomes very against it when she starts air nomading. But I'm absolutely sure she used to be a bratty lil princess when she was younger

I imagine she sometimes uses her bratty noble attitude for missions and stuff. Think Toph during serpent's pass. She totally freaks out her fellow airbenders when she puts on the princess act the first time.

Baatar Jr is lukewarm about the title

The twins take it the most seriously though i imagine. Like upholding the family legacy and stuff. Wing is nice about it and stuff though. But Wei's snooty and uptight lol.

But I see it's because they're dealing with a lot of stress over it. And they're coping differently. Wing is trying to make as many friends as he can, because other than his family a lot of people around him are pretty fake. And Wei's just bitchy as a coping mechanism.

Ugh the earthbenders of the family knowing that the nobility around them are lying because seismic sense.... and Su being even more betrayed by Aiwei because he'd been the only 'genuine' person in ger surroundings.... UGHHSHWVWJKA

ugh Bolin, the child of a resident of Ba Sing Se's lower ring dating a member of a the upper crust.... (this is about bopal AND weilin)

Like Bolin is already super insecure and shit imagine all the stress. Could be one of the reasons he joined Kuvira. To prove himself ughhsbsjai

Toph running off into the swamp because she doesn't want to be a 'noble matron' and manage the family ugh.

For the AU-Ask: Azula joins the Gaang-AU :)

Hello, @subterraneanwatcher! Thanks for the ask!

Azula joins the Gaang during BSS when her coup fails (because it always irked me how the Dai Li just went along with Azula) and she needs a way to escape as does the Gaang. Now that the city is controlled by Long Feng, neither the Gaang, Azula's team nor Iroh and Zuko can remain there, so they're all forced to flee on the most awkward bison ride in history.

The second they hand, Azula is ready to murder Aang. Both because she knows she can't return to her father empty handed and also because she's having a mini version of her breakdown (she's never failed before so failing this great on such a large scale is a blow for her). A fight ensues until the two groups finally agree to a truce for the time being while both of them figure out what to do next.

The Gaang still have to head to the Fire Nation because of the invasion and comet which is when Azula gets an idea. She knows Aang has a good heart and, because of that, he'll take pity on a "down on her luck" princess which means he might accept her if she asks to join their group. Then, when the invasion happens, she, Mai and Ty Lee can just betray the Gaang and they're already be back in the palace. It's a perfect plan. The Gaang doesn't trust them one bit but Aang is more inclined to see the good in them so they let them tag alone until they reach Fire Nation borders.

From BSS to the Fire Nation, it's a looooooooong flight, so you know what that means. Bonding moments! Mai and Toph start talking more and more because they realize that they come from pretty similar backgrounds after Toph makes a remark about her mom (still reeling from the whole fake letter and attempted kidnapping thing) and Mai agrees with her. Ty Lee and Aang bond because both of them would be the people who constantly need to move and stretch their legs so they get to talking on their little walks or when they decide to do a little climbing (Ty Lee teaches Aang a couple moves from her time at the circus). And Azula remains with, who she considers, the three most dangerous people here, minus Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Iroh. Of course, sibling stories begin with Azula and Zuko going back and forth between embarrassing childhood stories which is both hilarious for the other three but also makes it clear that these two siblings did once have a good relationship. And, of course, Azula and Katara training together moments.

By the time they reach the Fire Nation's borders, they're not friends but they certainly are closer than they were before. Everyone is ready to go their separate ways until Ty Lee finds a poster during one of her walks that says she, Mai and Azula are all traitors to the Fire Nation and working with the Avatar. Azula, of course, has a mini panic attack but calms herself down by reminding herself of the plan. Her father will surely forgive her when she brings the Avatar, her traitor brother and uncle right to him, right?

(Just some mini headcanons) - The first member of the Gaang Azula fully trusts is Appa. The first human Azula fully trusts is Sokka because they get into such heated debates but he's also oddly the most comforting person to Azula. Recently joined the Gaang!Azula is exactly like her beach self, a bit self conscious and really awkward but trying her best. Azula does not understand the team being so powerful but hardly using their bending, it's just such a big contrast against Azula's reasoning. Katara is the one who teaches Azula how to do her hair (an old Azutara headcanon of mine but I think it works here). Azula still refuses to share her sweets with the Gaang and this had led to more than one argument between her Aang and Momo.
