When Unalaq referred to himself as a “Dark Avatar” this is all I could think of.
i hate how majority of the fandom randomly agreed that “zukka is the solution to zutara vs kataang, and sukka and zukka shippers are besties” no sybau 💔
It's as if fandom one day collectively decided "we need a slash ship we can blindly worship but it must be the most boring and contrived thing imaginable, with zero chemistry or basis in canon".
And then Zukka was born.
Wow you’re so smart for saying Ozai wasn’t evil. That’s definitely a thoughtful observation and not you completely misinterpreting a character and spinning your lack of comprehension as clout.
Ooh, now you’re saying Aang was abusive and the real villain? Boy we’re getting so clout thirsty now. You’re definitely a super smart viewer above these pesky “general audiences” that just don’t get it. Your hyper-fixation on and removal of situational context from a single scene where he does something bad is totally making your point appealing to us mere mortals.
No, no, no, don’t worry that millions of people don’t share your opinion! You’re smarter than them for not being able to properly identify a protagonist and antagonist in a children’s show! They’re just not bright enough! Keep it up queen! You got this! Post that meta about Mai actually being responsible for the Air Nomad Genocide!
still hope maiko remains canon 🔥 but this would be cool
So katara has jiang, toph had yaling, suki had biyu, and june had fan.
I know ppl are hoping that the upcoming comic is a maiko reunion but considering it's mai focused I hope she get a new female friend or rival or something. And I hope it's not just kiyi
Captain: Princess, I'm afraid that the tides will not allow us to pull in before nightfall.
Azula: Do the tides command this ship?
The captain thinking about what happened at the North Pole:
People always say they want complex characters. They ask for nuance, for gray areas, for emotional depth and realistic growth. But when a character starts feeling too real, so much so that they stop acting like someone in a story and start feeling like someone you could actually meet – that's when the discomfort kicks in. That's when admiration often turns into criticism. And very few in The Legend of Korra walks that tightrope quite like Suyin Beifong.
Su doesn’t follow the typical “lesson of the week” formula. She doesn’t get handed a tidy moment of reckoning, followed by an instant transformation. Her arc isn’t flashy or obvious. It’s slow, subtle, and sometimes contradictory. Just like real people. Because the truth is, most of us don’t change overnight. We grow a little here, slip back there. We learn something, but that doesn’t mean we always apply it in every situation. That’s Suyin in a nutshell.
Look at how she changes as a mother. At first, she tries to micromanage Opal’s choices out of fear, mostly, and a need to protect her. But eventually, she lets Opal go and lets her live her life without trying to control her path. That’s a win. That’s real growth. But then Baatar Jr. betrays the family, and Su reacts by putting him under house arrest. It’s easy to point at that and call it hypocrisy, but that misses the bigger picture. Her deepest fears for her kids came true with Baatar, and so, of course, she tries to regain some kind of control in the aftermath. And yet, she doesn’t try to rope Opal back in. She lets her stay free. That shows her earlier growth wasn’t erased, just complicated by pain.
This is the part people tend to ignore. They rush to call her a hypocrite without stopping to think about what hypocrisy really is. People are full of contradictions. We want conflicting things. We act on emotion. We stumble. We grow unevenly. No one is morally consistent all the time. Su isn’t some moral failure she’s just human. And that’s what unsettles people. They want characters who get what’s coming to them or learn the “right” lesson. But Su doesn’t fit into that framework. She just keeps going, flaws and all.
That’s also what makes her so compelling. She’s not a straightforward hero or a satisfying villain. She’s a complicated woman trying to balance power, family, control, and identity in ways that are messy and real. When people critique her, it’s often not because she doesn’t make sense, but because she makes too much sense.
She’s too familiar. Too human.
Everyone says they want nuanced characters... until they’re faced with someone like Suyin. Someone who holds up a mirror. And when that reflection hits a little too close to home, people tend to look away. But it’s in that raw honesty where her character really shines.
I love how wan is physically incapable of minding his own damn business
canon
zuko: If I had a gun with 2 bullets and I was in the room with sozin, long feng and zhao, I would shoot zhao twice
no one can ever make me hate this duo
Uncle Iroh: Remember, a falling knife has no handle.
Azula and Zuko, in unison : So, catch it by the blade!
Uncle Iroh: …I worry about both of you.
