#he so so silly! i love him

Okay okay I just realized something.

Zuko is a theatre kid right, we all know that. I mean, aside from every other thing solidifying that he's a theatre nerd there's also the most major evidence aka The Blue Spirit. Boy really chose a theatre mask from his favorite play to wear and sneak out to do stuff.

And it gets better!

The Blue Spirit (as Zuko's shenanigans had given it a reputation and a different title) is based upon the Dark Water Spirit, which he used to play as when he and Azula reenacted the scenes from Love Amongst the Dragons when they were little. He really went ahead and chose the exact same character he would play as a kid and as it is clear from his ninja skills when Blue Spirit makes its debut in the series, this isn't the first time he has gone out as the Blue Spirit.

Scary ninja skills aside, what I wanted to point out was Blue Spirit's theme. It is a great theme and the rising and falling volume of the jingles gives it an air of creepiness and mystery. But here's the thing, aside from all the times it played during the appearance of Blue Spirit, there is one other time that theme played. Zuko wasn't in the Blue Spirit disguise at the time, he was swimming through the turtle seal tunnels to sneak into the North Pole. Why play the Blue Spirit theme when he isn't in that disguise. Logically, because he was sneaking in, he was still using his stealth and it's Zuko. This just affirmed that it isn't just Blue Spirit's theme, it's now Zuko's theme just as much.

But there's another explanation too. Blue Spirit is the Dark Water Spirit, from the play, and the character which Zuko used to play the most as a kid. And Zuko is a theatre nerd. Which means he has imaginary of one too even if he was single-minded about his goal. And he was sneaking into the Northern Water Tribe, wearing white camouflage, through the underwater arctic caverns. Through the water. Aka the domain of Dark Water Spirit.

Taking MuffinLance's hc from Little Zuko VS. The World where the kid cannot help himself from humming the theme song of Blue Spirit wherever he goes while disguised as one, I believe the theme is something he likes to imagine when 'playing' or 'acting' like the Dark Water Spirit.

And using all his stubbornness and survival and stealth skills to swim through arctic waters in the turtle seal tunnels is definitely something that'll make the theatre kid part of him go "I am the Dark Water Spirit"

Ergo, Blue Spirit theme playing even when he isn't wearing the mask. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Zuko, an absolute nerd.

Thank you for reading my essay

And there's another thing!

Considering the hc I've come across a few times where Zuko had the Fire Lord's fit redesigned to suit his style better, I've just now noticed that nearly half his Fire Lord outfit as seen in comics is based more on the one as the Dragon Emperor's costume from the play instead of the original Fire Lord robes that he wore at the coronation or the ones Ozai used to wear.

the revelation that claudia’s rebirth was such a twisted and horrible moment, with louis dragging her like she was a thing, a stranger who neither of them knew but he kept saying over and over “our daughter, our beautiful little daughter” to lestat, really solidified the way she was never the main character of her own story. she was always an accessory to some or the other of louis’ whims: his guilt, his loneliness, his conflict of being a killer, his rocky relationship with lestat. there was love there, love from both her fathers, but it was never enough. lestat saw her too much as a wretched mirror held up to his own self, and louis was always too steeped in his own feelings to care enough about hers. claudia’s story truly was the greatest tragedy in this tale, treated horribly by every man around her, even her fathers, relentlessly exploited and brutally ignored, always second and never first. the only one who loved her the way she deserved to be loved was madeleine, and the moment she truly had her, her happiness was torn from her. and just before she died, she got to see someone actually choose her in her entirety, not for what she can be but for who she is, and it still wasn’t enough. she still burned alive in the sunlight. the love was there, but it wasn’t enough to save her.
