God I’m so upset thinking about Suki was FIFTEEN in a maximum security prison, the worst and toughest prison in the fire nation….and she was in there for MONTHS waiting for anyone to come help her out and the rest of team avatar didn’t even KNOW she was there…..like she probably was treated horribly there and most likely tortured by Azula for information and I just….she simply didn’t deserve any of that oh my god I’m so sad
Ok I guess Im not done being sad about Suki yet but honestly I feel like she gets left out a lot when we talk about these kids not getting a chance to be children…like she started training at EIGHT. That’s a baby! That’s a second grader! And obviously she loves being a Kyoshi warrior but it’s so sad that the leader of these warriors, the person in charge of protection for her home island, is a teenage girl. Everyone’s safety depends on her. And she’s in charge of all the other warriors who are girls YOUNGER than her…like imagine how she felt when they were separated in prison. Just..I wish we knew more about Suki’s backstory but even what we do know is simply SO sad…I can’t do this
Airbenders had the potential to be the most lethal benders of all, seeing as how they could’ve theoretically insta-killed anyone by making a vacuum around them and yanking the air out of their lungs
I love all the “if Sokka was a bender” takes and all BUT if Sokka was a bender he woulda found the loophole of utilizing his bending so he could use all the other elements as well in weird “well technically” ways and it would just piss Aang off I can feel it
Sokka, after reading one book on chemistry: so I guess I can bend all elements if I focus hard enough on the oxygen part, got it.
Sokka to himself really quietly: fire is just REALLY hot water. Technically
The Blue Spirit putting out firebending with a bucket of water is the absolute funniest thing ever done in avatar combat. It just is.
katara: *kicks zuko’s ass without even blinking* zuko:
I literally just watched this episode, and I’m sorry, but there’s one thing funnier:
Zuko couldn’t speak during this whole fight/escape in case someone recognized his voice. Can you imagine the frustration he must have felt having to go through an entire fight without yelling? Zuko???
Especially while dealing with Aang’s shenanigans?!?!?!
One of my favorite parts of rewatching the episode is imagining everything that must have been going through Zuko’s head during that escape.
Aang: Wait! My friends need to suck on those frogs!
Zuko, trying not yell out of anger and confusion:
It gets funnier when you think that he could absolutely, no problem go through a battle without yelling once, as seen here and yet chooses to be a dramatic gay and holler at the top of his lungs at every opportunity.
That says a lot about how he firebends vs how he fights with the dao blades.
He actually can’t, at this point, fight without yelling if he’s using firebending. In The Firebending Masters, he says he’s been relying on anger and rage to fuel his bending, so yeah, in every firebending fight, he’s drawing on rage and hyping that up by yelling. Someone has pointed out that after he finds the original source of firebending, he stops yelling all the time – I haven’t checked that personally but it does seem accurate.
But he doesn’t need to draw on fury to firebend hen he’s the Blue Spirit. He can fight in total silence when he’s working with a weapon he’s more in touch with, when he doesn’t need to draw on hate or anger to fuel it.
can we talk about how when we first learned about Kyoshi in ATLA all we knew was that she was this badass avatar who feared no one and now with the books we know she was this soft and shy girl who easily gets flustered by her girlfriend just for brushing her hand against hers!!!! I couldn’t be more happy with her portrayal and i’m glad we can add her to the list of strong female leads who turn into blushing messes cause of their girlfriends
