Just Found My New Favourite AO3 Tag.

Just found my new favourite AO3 tag.

arguing over which Avatar had the worst “failures” just shows that you do not understand the story whatsoever. the whole point of the Avatar being reborn over and over is that the work of keeping balance in the world is never done and the world needs different things at different times, and no matter what good you do there are unintended consequences which is WHY the Avatar always comes back. There is no end-all-be-all fix. I’m really so over this nonsense arguing over “who’s the worst Avatar.” every Avatar has to adapt to their time and every Avatar has successes and failures and every single Avatar leaves consequences for their successors! That’s the whole point!!!! Being the Avatar is a never-ending job because the world is always changing. What was right for one time won’t be right forever, THAT’S WHY THE AVATAR ALWAYS COMES BACK

one of the things about Avatar the Last Airbender is it came out when I was a kid and I still enjoy just the same. <33

For some reason I just realized/noted another thing from Legacy of the Fire Nation book: the way Iroh speaks about Ozai in relation to both fire siblings. When he revealed that sometimes he sees Ozai in Zuko, he says so in a regrettable tone, about what could've been better and wished that was. Meanwhile, when he connected Ozai (and himself) to Azula, he only associated her to the traits he believed to be problematic and should be held accountable.

Furthermore, what he claimed to see in Zuko is surely his own view and opinion BUT what he sees in Azula is what he assumes how Ozai views her too. Iroh doesn't think that Ozai might liked Azula better because of her talent and intelligence but because of the "fury" or whatever that was.

He doesn't see or acknowledge the positive things about Azula and only assumed Ozai liked her better because she mirrors the worst part of himself.

P.S. the first full page here.

then I'm gone

his development never fails to make me cry
