I Like How Literally Everyone In The Gaang Is So Good At Coming Up With Convincing Alter Egos Except

i like how literally everyone in the gaang is so good at coming up with convincing alter egos except for zuko and sokka.

katara and toph can come up with identities that are completely fitting for the situation, while aang just acts so outrageously that no one even suspects that he’s going undercover. (”there’s no way that this kuzon kid has anything to hide. it’s like he’s begging to be noticed.”)

zuko and sokka on the other hand…are complete ass at it. they discover this when the gaang tell zuko about the dumb shit they got themselves into in the fire nation.

zuko: wang fire? you named yourself wang fire? that’s like if i infiltrated the southern water tribe under the name mr. ice water.

sokka: oh yeah? if you’re so good at going undercover, then what was your alias in the earth kingdom?

zuko: lee

sokka: go on…

zuko: just…lee…

sokka: oh. so you decided to create an earth kingdom identity using literally the most common name in the fire nation. how clever. you should have just named yourself ZUKO WITH A C AND IT WOULD HAVE HAD THE SAME EFFECT

zuko: I WAS PANICKING OKAY?

aang, katara, and toph see sokka and zuko being potential liabilities if they ever need to go undercover again. they make it a game to randomly give sokka and zuko scenarios to which they have to create an alter ego on the spot. sometimes sokka and zuko will just be chilling at the western air temple, cloud watching or some dumb shit like that, and suddenly it’ll be like…

aang: QUICK YOU WERE SPOTTED TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO AN EXCLUSIVE COUNCIL MEETING AT THE NORTHERN WATER TRIBE. WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE THERE?

sokka: uh uH…oh oh! i know! i’m the ghost of the 33rd chief of the northern water tribe, chief tunriq, here to preserve the spiritual sanctity of my—

aang: okay i’m gonna stop you right there. zuko, your turn.

zuko: can’t i just fight them and get it over with?

aang: no!

sokka and zuko get pretty decent at it when they have to infiltrate the fire nation again, and they all continue playing this game long after the war is over. even though they don’t need to go into hiding anymore, it’s still a useful skill to have whenever they wanna disguise themselves as regular people to hang out. in a few month’s time, sokka and zuko are able to whip up pretty elaborate back stories on the spot, and the gaang feels like they’re finally ready to put their skills to use in public. but oh god. does it backfire.

random civilian: hey! you look a lot like the avatar’s friend. sokka from the southern water tribe.

sokka: i get that all the time. my name’s lee. i run a tea shop with my uncle in the earth kingdom.

random civilian: you mean like firelord zuko’s alter ego…? now that i think about it your friend looks a lot like him. who are you?

zuko: i am but a humble servant to firelord zuko, here to escort these earth kingdom civilians around the fire nation as part of the firelord’s campaign to make our country more hospitable to the other nations.

aang, katara, and toph: *whispers* oh my god he did it

zuko: my name is…wang fire

aang, katara, and toph: *commence internal sobbing*

from that point on, aang, katara, and toph decide that they should do the talking for them.

vi got colonised tbh. it gives me that feeling when a rich white old man gets with a young SEA lady, brings her to britain and she only gets to see her family through facetime, and that's also the only time she speaks her native language because her man refuses to learn it

cait basically erased vi's identity as a zaunite. she loved vi in spite of that, instead of as a part of her. like how she told vi that she's not like the other zaunites, and saying 'i thought you were one of us' fully expecting her to step away from her people.

vi's been assimilated into piltover, even going against her own ideals by becoming part of the people (enforcers) who killed her parents, who were responsible for executing the systematic oppression of zaun. yet caitlyn's never assimilated into zaun, never even stepping foot into zaun beyond the first caitvi meeting and later when she was gassing the citizens. the show ended with vi living with caitlyn in the top 1% of piltover; no mutual exchange of culture. caitlyn never had to change her mind about zaun the way vi changed her mind about piltover, and remained oblivious to her own privilege and her family's legacy on zaun.

it's just that the sacrifices vi has made for cait, on her identity and on a moral level, has been completely one-sided. this, the imbalanced power dynamic and caitlyn's subtle prejudice against zaun (*) have never been acknowledged in the show. so for them to get back together and have their happy ending without some sort of introspective reflection feels. very uncomfortable. feels like cognitive dissonance.

(*) i say subtle because other than the warcrimes moment, cait often voices her opposition to extreme measures against zaun. however, she supports 'no extreme measures' and 'they are people too' as normative ideas, not really having the ability to recognise the violation of these ideas when it's in front of her and especially not when she's the one violating them. there's constantly an undercurrent of subconscious prejudice in her attitude towards zaunites, and just, a real lack of understanding

First part of a Twitter thread by @SamAsIAm:
"A friend who is a municipal arborist just called to tell me about a guy who cut down 32 big mature trees on his neighbor's NJ property to get a better view of NYC. He hired a guy who hired another guy. Cut them down and left the debris there. The fine per tree is $1000 so the 1/

2/ guy propably thought he was going to just pay a $32k fine. But the arborist wrote violations to all 3 parties, 96 in all (by hand, took him 12 hours) and there's a provision requiring the replanting of like trees "of the same size." And it's on an inaccessible by road"
Continuation of Twitter thread by @SamAsIAm:
"3/  mountainside. He put the affronted landowner in touch with the only guy who would take on such a job. Thry have to build a road, remove the debris, plant big trees and water them for two years. He quoted $1.5 million. And additional fines total $400k. I hope whoever this ass

4/4 is he can't pay and they lien and sell his property, the value of which he probably figured would be increased so much a $32k fine was worth it, to cover the cost. We are living in the Jaime Dimon ethos. "So fine us, we can afford it.

4/5 The PS to this is I was just given a zoom link to the 1st court hearing tomorrow. I'm not sure if it's just for trail participants or spectators can use it, but if they let me observe I'll add more. It doesn't appear to have been picked up by any news source yet."
Quote Tweet by @ParSpec:
"Apparently NOBODY ELSE IN THE QUOTE TWEETS RESPECTS TRADITION ENOUGH TO POST THE TREE LAW COMIC"
A 1-page comic by u/reachling:
Panel 1: A saddenned person with short hair looking at a tree stump, their hands are holding the sides of their head. They're saying "Oh no! The rare cherry tree grandma brought with her from the old country! It's been chooped down!!" and then in another speech bubble "And only a week after the new neighbor complained about it blocking his view too!"

Panel 2: The young person turns around with a befuddled look on their face. A speech bubble from the bushes says "Tree law?"

Panel 3: A bald bearded lawyer with a suit and briefcase looks from behind a picket fence and says "Tree law?"

Panel 4: Another lawyer with shades pops their head from inside the bushes and says "Tree law?!"

Panel 5: Another lawyer crawls from under the stump with a briefcase and says "Tree law!!"

Panel 6: The four lawyers carry the young person above them. The person is looking confused. Two of the lawyers are holding pitchforks and torches. Around them are raining dollar bills. The lawyers are chanting "Tree! Law! Tree! Law!"
