#why does my autism make me waste time on “”high effort“” jokes

[maydaybytheway]

something that has been going on my mind for a while is: where was aang running away to during the storm? well ladies and gentlemen and non binary folk, i think ive found an answer

the two places i could track down him going to are either the fire nation, or omashu in the earth kingdom, i pinned the relevant places here, and also the water tribe for later usage now, ill just state that he has no reason to head directly to the southern water tribe even though aang says he has friends all over the world, hes lying! there isnt a single mention of any friends from either water tribes, so.. yeah, hes either going to fire nation because of his boyfriend (kuzon) or to omashu (bumi)

you could make an argument hes going to either of the other air temples for some reason, but ill debunk that at the end SO. where would he be going? firstly i would like to track the location of the iceberg aang gets trapped in

in theory, the iceberg should be found somewhere along here in these trenches, where later, the wolf cove is founded now, we need to track how the heck it got to there, since we know aang wasnt flying near the south pole during the storm, nor that he was going to the water tribe BUT. before that

i would like to mention the fact that, with pixel measurements, the fire nations nearest city/village (fun fact! thats where yon rha lived, the killer of kataras mom) is closer than the shores that are near omashu objectively speaking, if aang was running away and wanted to get somewhere safe fast, the closest and best course of action would be to go directly to the fire nation anyways, presuming that aang takes the fastest and most direct approach with going to the fire nation, we can presume he could fall off around midway through, maybe a little bit before

these are the ways i see that this could somehow go, anyplace between those spots could eventually leave to the iceberg's location in the southern tribe keep in mind, this was 100 years of travelling with the oceans current, this didnt take like a day or something honestly, those trenches might look tricky, but they probably are all in a current that leads towards the ocean near the south pole, aka, the iceberg location now, for omashu:

this is what they COULD look like, but...

this is what they PROBABLY look like

there are just too many rocks and open spaces in the way, making it so that the iceberg would probably end up either in another place in the south pole, or stop near the air temples, or heck, maybe even the earth kingdoms shores "b-but. what if he was headed to the air temples!" well its your lucky day random anonymous guy i just made up, because i thought of that too

even without taking into account the distance and the fact that it would be pretty much impossible for aang to float to the iceberg location, aang would have no reason to go to the other air temples, especially the eastern one, since the whole point was to escape from the air nomads but anyways, now that weve got it all figured out, that aang, was indeed, going to the fire nation, you might be wondering, what was the point of this? why would you waste so much time on something that doesnt matter only to reach an irrelevant conclusion? well, dear hypothetical person the real reason is that KUZAANG IS CANON!! AANG WAS GOIGN TO RUN AWAY WITH HIS BOYFRIEND IN THE FIRE NATION AND THEN AND THEN THEY WERE GONNA KISS AND THEYD LIVE TOGETHER AND AND AND ALSO THE WAR WOULDNT HAPPEN. BECAUSE SOZIN WOULD SEE THEM AND WOULD THINK "damn... maybe air nomads arent so bad" AND AND AND THEN HAPPY ENDING.
