“of course, i have no idea what she saw in you.”

“we have a window of opportunity.”

“i don't like him.”

“did i ask for your opinion?”

“they don't take kindly to outsiders here.”

“what makes you think we're outsiders?”

“so how do you know we're not a threat?”

“be careful. this can be a dangerous place.”

“are you all right? are you hurt?”

“what were you doing out there?”

“you mean that wasn't an accident?”

“it's not safe anywhere these days.”

“do you realize what this means? we finally have a way to take the fight to the enemy.”

“it can get bloody.”

“i wanna help. and i think i can.”

“was your life really in danger?”

“there are always ways to get in the game if you know which pieces to play.”

“we know what it means to be on our own.”

“big talk for someone who's outnumbered.”

“we're the good guys.”

“protecting the ones we love is important.”

“it's not always easy to find your path in life but when you find it, you must embrace it.”

“we have to do everything we can to save the world. because if not us, then who?”

“i know what it's like to lose family too.”

“i try not to think about it, but...recently it's been coming back to me.”

“you have to use everything inside you to help you fight.”

“we don't have to be afraid of our pain. we just need to decide what we're gonna do with it.”

“it's time to stop hiding. it's time to fight.”

“how are you still alive?”

“you betrayed us.”

“i stopped you from killing innocent people.”

“not everyone out there is the enemy.”

“you have to make hard decisions. that's what it means to fight a war.”

“i thought you were on our side. on my side.” 

“you've forgotten what you're fighting for.”

“you're not fighting for anything you love, you're fighting because of hate!”

“wait...was this a test?”

“this is important! don't you care?”

“you dare tell me i should care?”

“have you watched your whole world burn down around you?”

“you can't make me believe you've lost hope. not you.”

“what are you doing here?”

“yeah, i wouldn't go in there.”

“love is brightest in the dark. remember that.”

“there's no such thing as angry spirits.”

“i don't have a choice. it's where i need to go.”

“the direct path is not always the best path.”

“you should be careful where you step.”

“what are you trying to prove?”

“maybe i'm trying to show you there are no easy journeys.”

“the map's unclear, but i got a hunch.”

“my problem is you're not taking me seriously.”

“you were a butcher.”

“i can still smell smoke when i go to sleep at night. it never really goes away.”

“war pushes us to the edge. some of us don't like what we find there.”

“it's true, isn't it? you have no humanity.”

“you know nothing of loss.”

“you're getting good at that.”

“it was nice to hear someone tell me i had something to offer the world.”

“nothing has made sense in a hundred years!”

“this isn't who you are.”

“it's all about games with you, isn't it?”

“let's play one final game.”

“can we do i-told-you-so later?”

“any chance i imagined that?”

“we've all seen enough death.”

“that's what you get for showing them compassion.”

“i think you should rest.”

“we have to leave. now.”

“what's going on? are we dead?”

“some of us have to fight, even when we don't want to. that's what it means to be in a war!”

“you'd have known about that if you'd been around, but you weren't.”

“in this world, you can't rely on anyone. even your friends.” 

“as fun as this has been, it's time for the games to end.”

“this isn't a game!”

“cheater! you cheated!”

“you were wrong. you can rely on your friends.”

“you think like a child.”

“you wanna come with me?”

“everything i need is on this boat.”

Yet they took out BaTo!!! im crying 😢 😭 🤧

#cabbage guy being in the adaption is very important to me

Quick list of things I particularly loved from NATLA Episode 3 - Omashu before my in-depth overview

The whole rebellion inside the Fire Nation - love seeing EVERYONE fighting back

"I think that's what they said - I never listened." ^_^

"What makes you think we're outsiders?"

"We ARE Fire Nation, even out here"

"Irrigation, am I right?" :D

Aang darting through a crowd messing up everyone's day - just straight from the animated!

And the first tease of the cabbage merchant!!!

Our Gaang wasting NO time after the explosion to run in and help

Bloodthirsty Teo ready to recruit Aang to carpet bombing the Fire Nation - yet another example of children's morals and sense of self being warped by this war

How proud Teo is of his father!!

Sokka being able to show his interest in tinkering and engineering!!!

And did I spy some ECLIPSE glasses????

Aang's "no, I'm not going to just leave people in trouble, I'm going to stay and help them any way I can" moment

"He's done the impossible" in the most mocking voice imaginable! XD Adore that Azula isn't afraid to mock her father

And Mai and Tylee cameos!!!!

And the Yuyan archers! So many hints to the future here

Katara practicing her waterbending forms even in the background - really showing that she's taking every opportunity to hone her skills - she's not just perfect immediately

JEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

Honestly first thought cart-boy might have been Haru, but once he caught the Mechanist meeting with the spy, my Jet senses started tingling

Jet's combat - perfect! Katara's skills - growing!!

LOVE how there's such a marked upgrade in Katara's control from her single ball of water and big splash of last episode to her controlled twin water ball attacks

Jet's bird-whistle signal

I started giggling maniacally, knowing what was coming!!

And that DAMN piece of straw XD

Sokka saying 'No, my role is to be a warrior and protect the village' with the most heartbreaking look on his face as he sees the skills he truly loves being devalued (or the perception that their devalued) and then Sai reassuring him and his frown turning into a hopeful look on the verge of a smile. Seriously, my heart, guys

Chills every time Smellerbee throws up her hand and shouts "Freedom Fighters!" and the whole camp cheers - really you see how they're a family, a community, healing together the best way they know how

Honestly, everything with Jet is great - him actually giving GOOD advice to Katara, making him a real person rather than someone who only cares about himself - I believe this Jet actually cares about Katara the person, not just Katara the weapon

Also the fact that there's only the small hand-brush as a romantic gesture, the rest of Katara and Jet's interactions keep strictly platonic - nowhere near as charged as all Sokka's interactions with Suki and Yue

Katara's mom smiling in the sunrise D;

Zuko's annoyance at Iroh loving the city XD

And Lotus tile reference!!

Sokka's paper bird!!!

And oooohhh here comes the fighting!

Such a great choice to pit the Mechanist (Sokka) against Jet (Katara) where they're BOTH bad! This isn't a one sibling is right scenario - both their new allies are doing bad stuff! Very juicy and great plot thread/theme weaving

"To prove you're a jerk!" "Oh yeah, well I don't need proof of that!!"

Cabbage merchant tease #2!!

SSCCAARRRFF ZUUUTTAARRRAAAAAAAAAAA

"This guy - again?" *rolly eyes*

Sokka's first mad plan!! Riding the crates to the palace!!

The Zuko/Aang fight - beautiful, stunning, stylized, classic

Zuko being beaten by a woman furious that he's hitting a child

"YOU READ MY DIARY!!!!!!!!" sorry, "YOU HAVE MY NOTEBOOK!!"

MY CABBAGEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!

Water HAWHIP!!!!

Iroh's first firebending in the show is him using it to draw attention to him so Zuko can escape :( not to harm anyone, but to protect

Aang's little "Uh oh o.o"

This was the first episode where it ended and I thought "I HAVE to watch the next one RIGHT NOW"

Damn you cliffhangers
