Farewell to the mangaka that shaped my kid years. One of my Toonami faithfuls and the first anime I ever watched. Thanks for all the years.

this is so devastating. laois should have just shot him with a gun

Domino's luck powers save her everytime, allowing her to come back with as many puns as she wants. Truly the most dangerous mutant.

Post like these are what engaging with the fandom is all about. A new vision that makes you think and makes a rewatch all the more wonderful.

Thinking about how Aang is punished for choosing power over love and his own happiness, punished for sacrificing another part of himself for the world… shot in the back and straight through his heart, his Air chakra, by lightning. His Air chakra, which deals with love and is blocked by his grief. His grief over losing his entire nation, his culture, everyone he has ever known and loved. And how the battle he fights with Katara here, they are surrounded by green crystals, the color of the Air chakra.

Aang makes the wrong choice, he too comes to a crossroads in his destiny just like Zuko—they both choose wrong. He goes against Aunt Wu’s advice, that he should follow his heart and shape his own destiny. He blocks off his own heart because he thinks it’s the only way he can save the world, to literally tear himself apart. And how his entire character arc is about him trying to mend his grief, to allow himself to still feel love, even in the wake of such devastation. And how it is Katara who saves him, because she loves him, because love never leaves, it’s simply reborn.

Many thoughts head full.
