oh my god two words in that just UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
Zuko is the most powerful fighter in the ATLA universe. He defeats Zhao, Jet, Sokka, Ozai, and countless earth kingdom and fire nation soldiers, without ever using his bending. The kid can literally kick through iron shackles and kick people to hell and back without using his fire. Even then, his bending has unrecognized powerful potential. Which is why Iroh’s training is so important, and why he’s able to compete with some of the top-benders in the atla-verse. By the time he faces Azula in the third book he has mastered all four types of bending and incorporates their styles into his fighting. He’s literally the first recorded bender to recreate DRAGON FIRE. The only reasons he tends to lose battles is due to his inner conflict and personal connection. In this essay I will…
OH!
Oh! Oh! Oh!!!
YOU KNOW WHAT PLOT WE NEED IN THE SHOW?!
(aside from consistancy)
Commanding Kwamis... Gabriel could LITERALLY command Nooroo into forcible silence.
How devastating of a revelation would this be for Marinette and Adrien if they found out about this by accident.
Like.. they "know " they can command their Kwami... but COMMAND their Kwami??? To a point that it scares them that what they say and the hold it has on their partners???
Perhaps Marinette gets so invested in her work, and she's even got Tikki helping her, sets her on one repetitive task, but she soon realizes that Tikki is getting tired, and asks why she hasnt stopped and taken a break, and Tikki is like, 'Well, you told me to help you, and so I must. Dont worry Marinette, it's fun!' Marinette is like, but you didn't stop when you needed to. 'You gave me a command, so I must follow.'
Marinette freaks a little and makes a visit to Master Fu and have a "review" over the whole Miraculous holder schlep, since he obviously withholds information.
For Adrien, he just got put down by his Father again, is super frustrated, he's irate, he has so much to do, and he just wants to be with his friends or relax.
Plagg is trying to cheer him up, or he went the sarcastic route and starts flitting about the room, being "obnoxious". Adrien snaps and tells Plagg to just sit down and behave for once. He walks off to do whatever he was going to.
Later, he realizes Plagg had been awfully, and uncharacteristically quiet. Even for a naptime. He finds him exactly where he saw him last.
Stoically sitting, quietly. Staring at the surface he's sitting on. Adrien inquired at the behavior, and Plagg upright just says, you TOLD me to, and I have to obey my Master. Confused, Plagg, ever so briefly, sums up that He's just an all powerful Kwami. But has to obey his Master's every whim.
Adrien has a bit of a melt down, picking Plagg up and apologizing. Maybe tearing up a bit, vows to never do that to Plagg again.

And for a nice icing on the cake, Ladybug and Chat actually discuss it, communicate on it.
Ladybug is actually the one who brings it up, and Chat's floodgates just open and he tells Ladybug what happened, and vice versa. Have a heart to heart and talk about how they can show their Kwamis their appreciation.

Etc etc.
Can we all agree that despite zuko being 16, he has proven himself more capable and effective in both diplomacy, bending, and hand to hand combat then soldiers that are in their late 20's or more with decades more experience and he just mops the floor with them? Why does no one appreciate this in fics or hell just in context?
Yes, Zuko is intelligent,
an eloquent and inspiring speaker,
a capable leader,
a skilled firebender.
and has the Fire Nation’s best interest at heart
These things are all true.
however...
He’s also an awkward dork who practices his speeches by talking to frogs,
spent a good portion of the show in Existential Crisis Mode,
and has an unfortunate habit of making impulsive, dumbass decisions that often risk his personal safety.
He has the range.
day 19(?): boredom got way worse, trying to make myself a victorian friend
I heard someone swear “you mother fuck!” over the phone the other day, and all I could think of was this
i can’t talk shit about the pirates of the caribbean films as if elizabeth swann becoming pirate king didn’t hand my entire ass to me and make me the gay i am today
Remember this scene in Avatar the Last Airbender, in the episode called “The Ember Island Players”, when the gaang goes to the theater to watch that ridiculous play about their adventure…?
And there’s this part that Aang goes “Uh… I wanted to sit there” because he wants to sit next to Katara?
Well, I was extremely disappointed to find out that, in the original, Zuko replies with “Just sit next to me, what’s the big deal?”…
Because in the Brazilian dub, I don’t know why or how or whose idea it was, but it turned out a million times better, since Zuko’s reply to him is…
And it was so sincere and naive and dumb and somehow nice of him, like as if he were his big brother or something, because the intonation is totally pure and kind, it was not sarcastic or anything! So yeah… I just think that was a huge improvement. It was cute and absolutely hilarious! Thanks, Brazilian translators, that was awesome! XD
