dumb atla fanfic idea: ozai is thrown back in time—to the time when firelord azulon still sat on the throne. when ursa had not disappeared into the arms of her lover, ikem. when he still had his bending. when the avatar had not reappeared.
when all was right with the world.
ozai’s ready to conquer the world—nine years earlier than planned, nine years before sozin’s comet was set to arrive.
…
what he did not expect was that the one thing standing in his way of success was his eldest son—in the body of a five-year old.
((where ozai and zuko travel back in time and try to thwart each other in every way possible while everyone’s confused by second prince ozai’s great amount of disdain for his only son and said son’s pettiness towards his father))
LotR genuinely had no right being as good as it was, how did filmmaking peak so perfectly in the early 2000s with a crazy mishmash cast and a self-made director who only bought a studio because he took out a loan against his house to buy an abandoned paint factory, how come late 90s cgi-video-game-elves look better than high tech movies now, how come nothing else has consistently incredible acting, soundtrack, set design and effects, writing, emotion, platonic affection and pure romance
something i noticed while rewatching atla, whenever zuko is shown sleeping on his side (rather than his back), he always sleeps on his scar, so he can still hear while he's asleep. as far as i can recall, that's the only in-show proof that he's deaf in his left ear. and i love it.
oh i did not know that! thank you for sharing!
guys look! fact!
My friend was messing with Never Gonna Give You Up on her record player and she sped it up. It beCAME A FREAKING MAGICAL GIRL THEME.
i mean this had to have happened after Feast, right?
So do you think that the southern warriors kept hearing rumors about the Avatar and these two Water Tribe kids he’s traveling with? And do you think they keep cracking jokes about the northerners keeping the avatar safe by sending teenagers (because they must be from the north, right? There’s only women and kids down south, and even though Hakoda knows his kids are now two years older they can’t have grown that much, right?), and how much better southern tribe could do? And when Bato catches back up with the rest and says he met the Avatar, Hakoda goes, “Hey, did you meet the idiots he travels with?”
And Bato just goes, “Hakoda. They’re your idiots.”
I heard someone swear “you mother fuck!” over the phone the other day, and all I could think of was this
yo.... when jet breaks in the tea shop and accuses zuko and iroh of beinh firebenders....
do you think any of the patrons looked at zukos scarred face - obviously done by a firebender - and immediately think jet was an asshole? like
jet: hes a firebender!!!!
patrons, thinking about the backstory they concocted for zuko and iroh where their home was invaded by firebenders and they barely survived with their lifes so they could come and have a peaceful life selling tea in a city the war doesnt touch:
