Sozin is the worst, i hate him with a burning passion

The fact that the Fire Nation used Sacred Air Nomad sites and temples as lures and traps to kill any surviving Air Nomads makes this whole topic even darker.

This is horrifying. All because they wanted to kill a kid.

And the ending?

Ugh.

Aang whole story is so tragic. A lot of people constantly shit on him for no reason but this kid carried this loneliness through into his adult years and bottled so much up.

Aang never really accepted the end of his culture.

This comic broke me.

Friendships aren't the only thing strong enough to transcend lifetimes.

the royal family of the fire nation from avatar: the last airbender: legacy of the firenation. They did azula so dirty with that pic

Also how did ursa come out so light?

Oh I am READY!!! ( artist here! )

Alright now this does not make sense here

Sozin is supposed to be 16-17 in this book, bc this is only a few months after Roku left the Fire Nation to train at the Southern Airtemple. The comet is said to pass every hundred years. Sozin comitted the airnomad genocide twelve years after Roku died (hence Aang being twelve). If we do the math according to this book tho, the great comet passes when Sozin is 60-61. Meaning Roku is also 60-61 bc they share their birthday and -year. And it's known that Roku died when he was in his late seventies early eighties. So HOW is this possible?

Either they're retconning how often the comet passes by earth OR they're retconning how old Roku was when he died (meaning he would have died at age 50, which would mess the story up so badly I don't think this is what they did). I'm so lost rn and maybe it gets explained further in the book (calculations being wrong? Idk) but man it's not fun to see them either change stuff about things that are already canon or just get canon wrong.

Idk why they're doing this. It would be much more satisfying if this novel actually followed the show's canon, that we witness Sozin learning at which exact date the comet will pass, not that he finds an estimate and discovers the calculations in Wan Shi Tong's library were wrong (which I highly doubt considering that celestial calendar he has).

The cycle begins

The cycle continues

The cycle is broken

Thank you Gyatso for putting that dumb ass misogynist colonizers in their place ❤ Reckoning of Roku is 10/10 only for this reason

Fire Nation you are nothing :)

There are many theories that atla fans think are canon, but I don't understand why do people believe that the Fire Nation began to abduct the waterbenders from the Southern Water Tribe because they were searching for the next Avatar

The series disagree

Sozin was well aware that Aang survived the genocide:

But somehow, the new Avatar eluded me. I wasted the remainder of my life searching in vain. I know he's hiding out there somewhere. The Fire Nation's greatest threat ... the last airbender.

That’s a big part of the reason why Ozai banishing Zuko was so cruel. He was told that he could only come home if he had captured the Avatar, who had been missing for a hundred years at that point. Ozai was just trying to get rid of Zuko by sending him on a goose chase he had no hope of succeeding in, that could only be possible if Aang’s disappearance and having never been reincarnated into either of the Water Tribes was common knowledge, which it was. When Zuko showed up at the Southern Water Tribe looking for Aang, he assumed he’d be an old man. Katara had even asked Aang if he ever knew the Avatar not realizing it was him.

Even Zhao, the sages, Iroh etc were certain that the Avatar was an airbender

Btw the Fire Nation attacked the Southern Water Tribe because they were an imperialist nation who wanted to conquer the whole world and the South was an easy target, unlike the North and the earth kingdom. Also the waterbenders are a great THREAT to the firebenders and they wanted them gone for obvious reasons

Happy Pride remember to kiss your imperialist power-hungry boyfriend best friend

Doing an A:tLA rewatch and I’m on “The Avatar and The Firelord”

And I just realized. We talk about Roku saying “some friendships are so strong they can transcend lifetimes” about Toph and Gyatso BUT

I literally JUST realized that Roku was trying to tell Aang about Zuko!!!

Am I the last person on Earth to realize this 😭
