More reasons why Zuko being the Firelord is objectively the funniest thing on earth:
HES SEVENTEEN
He hasn’t been civilised in 4 years, his entire teenage experience consists of living on a boat and sleeping rough. The most stable bed he has was probably in Ba Sing Se he probably will just nap anywhere.
He has customer service experience which means he probably uses his customer service voice on his minsters.
Additionally he probably just wanders into to kitchen to get his own snacks and tea because he forgets what servants do.
He probably has no idea why he can’t just chase after an assassin he used to hunt the avatar for Agnis sake why is the captain of the guard demanding he stay in his room he’ll find the guy first (he’s probably right)
Katara probably has a free pass on Eco terrorism because what’s he going to do challenge her, she’ll beat his ass.
If he saw a minster doing something shady he will either invite lady Beifong to detect their BS or commit B&E and look for evidence himself.
He somehow found a baby dragon and raises it.
He will be far to willing to give Kyoshi island anything they want cause he feels bad and Suki scares him.
He randomly insisted on giving some earth kingdom village 100 ostrich horses.
The Avatar will just show up call him Hotman and demand the go on adventures and the Firelord will just dip because he’s been confined to long and has the Zoomies.
He takes far to much advice from Sokka and will genuinely believe if someone doesn’t get Sokkas plans they must be an idiot because Sokka is 16.
Sokka and Zuko also get into a lot of teenage rebellion phases by accident.
Toph just walks in breaks a wall of his palace and demands a field trip that always involves the Firelord having to explain himself to the cops.
He somehow knows every dangerous teen in the world and they all come for tea uninvited.
He has broken into both the NWT and Ba Sing Se.
He has a really well documented facial scar and official portraits but still disappears to be Lee the tea guy like no one knows.
HES SEVENTEEN.

Misunderstandings AU.
Hello every one!! It's been a hot minute. I've been lurking but not posting xD. I am currently too sick to move around d and do stuff but not sick enough to be able to nap the day away and still sleep at night so I have decided to try and write out the next bits of stories and prompts I got. I apologize for ramblings and errors I still have a fever right now. THIS ONE IS LONG ALL. IT GOT AWAY FROM ME!
I was trying to string some of my stray prompts together and got this:
the events of DP happened minus PP. Danny age 20 has settled everything with his ghostly rogues and now no longer goes out heroing as phantom. He is the ghost prince as he is not fully dead (and is planning on living his full human life first).
In order to get a new start, he moved to Gotham (it has the second highest ecto-system in the world after Amity and Lady Gotham was thrilled to host her future king) and spends his days doing volunteer work to help settle his primary obsession, and does work part time at the Gotham observatory to feed his secondary space obsession.
He has finally balanced his life between both worlds, his parents know and accepted him (though he did change his name to nightingale to get away from the Fenton notary), he is dating the two loves of his life (is it really long distance if he can teleport?) The GIW was officially disbanded a year after he graduated. Our boy is thriving!
The rest of team Phantom (and Fentons)on the hand went the other direction. Either full-blown heroes or antiheros/villains. And unfortunately to the outside world look like they are having a four-way fight over a civilian Danny who ran away from his villain parents/ex-lovers.
Back when they were younger, tucker with the unintentional help of Technus, managed to create a server that used the ghost zone as its base point. It is untraceable, relatively undetectable, and has service so good that it can literally reach different dimensions. So, when things ramped up during their third year, all communications, chat rooms, photos as well as accounts viewing other online sites went into this server.
This worked wonderfully for team phantom as "dead zones"(ha) and worries of hacking suddenly became almost nonexistent and the Fentons who had recently cut off all work with the government after Danny's reveal were looking for new ways to hide their (to be revised) life's work from the prying eyes of the government.
Danny, who had recently gained a huge spike in power due to him taking the crown of fire in preparation for his upcoming coronation as crowned prince, chose to drop out of high-school mid year due to the GIW being able to track him much easier anytime he left the house. While not ideal this actually worked out well for Danny(He switched to online school and finished with high honors)
Sam, Tucker, Valerie, and the Fentons seniors on the other hand were very VERY unhappy that their son/ex/boyfriend/friend was basically being put on house arrest for existing and began their individual plans to fuck with the government. (Jazz is also not happy but is currently at Yale studying to be a psychologist for children with abusive/dramatic upbringings and is stuck avoiding talking about anything out of the ordinary as she needs to use a normal phone to talk with Danny without a way to charge her Fenton phone. Jazz has also changed her name to nightingale, while her parents were a bit hurt, they did understand wanting to make a name for yourself without being compared to your already doctor parents)
Tucker has started to hack the government through GIW servers. Spilling out government coverups and trying to cause as much of a media government conspiracy shit storm for them as possible. He chose to go under the code name Pharoah, making a name for himself in the underground as a hacker as formidable as oracle themselves. He, after everything, moves to Star City to begin his own very successful tech business.
FRAIR Inc. Took market's by storm showing to be one of the most promising up and coming tech companies spanning everything from cyber security to edge cutting medical tech. To the outside world, his employees were practically ghosts (litterally in some cases), slowly creeping up on giants like Wanye enterprise and Queen Industries. Hands down one of the best places to work for, even if the CEO was occasionally found near some shady things,Mr.Foley was proven innocent every time, and his very loyal employees were getting sick of other companies trying to compare him to creeps like Luther. (Tucker still kept an ear on anything related to Danny on the normal human servers in case the GIW reared thier ugly head)
Sam, much to everyone’s surprise reached back into her rich roots and makes the name Manson something to fear. She finally sits down with her parents, and they talk it out. All of it, her hurt, their hurt, the fights. It takes more than one conversation, a lot of tears, but they do work it out. Because her parents at the end of the day do care about her. They want their baby to be safe and happy and successful in what she does, and after talking about the GIW and how they have been targeting her and her friends, she is clearly not safe! Her parents agree to teach her all they know about throwing their weight around in high class social circles and how to tear apart "untouchable groups" financially and socially so thoroughly that there was no hope of recovery. Sam for her part agreed to her some of her parents requests as well, she would start representing the Manson name and act like a lady in public settings, attending more high class social gatherings and parties (with the stipulation that she would get to dress and be herself, she could be both goth and high class! her mother agreed admitting that she did secretly love her Gothic prom dress she had made two years ago) she later takes over leading their largest company in metropolis spreading her reach into outreach programs and environmental protection. She is slowly becoming metropolis' most beloved socialite generally making life miserable for both Lex and Superman.
Lex because the anti-ecto laws were passed under the radar during his stint as president and superman because while it may have been proven that the JL was not in fact ignoring their calls for help, she is still hella salty about all the shit team phantom went through and is petty. Also, their fights keep causing pollution and property damage! Danny got that shit under control a year in and without training! Step the fuck up boy scout!
The Mansons are thrilled to be able to brag about at galas with how much their company has grown since Sam took over and how proud they are of their "little girl" and "how much she cares about the environment and the less fortunate" all pink and fluff with sparkly blinders on, all the while Sam is standing slightly behind them, quite, dressed to the nines in a Morticia Addams-esc dress, smirking like she would eat you alive in a board room if you so much as breath wrong.
The Fentons senor really didn't change to much. They did cut ties with the government and instead have moved to selling self-protection devices that protect against humans and ghosts! They are still researching ghosts but have taken down as much of their published works as possible for revisions. They have instead turned from wanting to catch ghosts to wanting to meet any ghost willing to talk with them about ghost culture and biology.
They also start to "accidentally" target any GIW that comes within 100 feet of them, claiming how "oh I though we fixed that bug" or "sorry our gun seems to be malfunctioning". This leads a lot of Amity to realize how often the self-defence gadgets could "malfunction" weird how they only seemed to do that around GIW agents.
Valerie was the only one to go the official “hero” route. Having put the pieces together in second year after meeting Dani. Finally working up the courage Valerie had confronted team Phantom about Danny being Phantom. All the lies were aried out from both side, both sides working out thier problems and apologizing. Team phantom for not telling her the truth after Dani, and Valerie for her now admittedly unfair blaming of danny for her lifes problems. Having spent the past year coming to terms with herself about what she was truly angry about. The betrayal from her so called "friends" the A-listers, the life changes she was not prepared for, watching her dad slowly wear down as bills built up. She had needed an outlet, a scapegoat, and at the time, it had been easier to jump on the Ghosts are evil then to accept that this was her life.
During third year, Valerie buckled down on protecting what was really important to her. Taking a job under Manson incorporated Valerie took over as Sam's "body guard", slowly taking over the "physical threat" of things for team Phantom. Angry about being ignored by the JL Valerie (with the help of some vindictive ghosts and Dani) was able to track down and interrogate one John Constantine.
Apparently due to several misunderstandings Amity had been marked no entry to any JL member but JL dark, (which fair, Valerie also did not wish to deal with a possessed superman) but due to Phantom having been seen throughout history (damn vlad for stealing the infamap) Phantom had been mistaken for an accident protecter spirit.
Which for anyone versed in magic, you don't mess with that uninvited. It would be like walking into the home of a God and telling them to thier face, "I don't think your good/strong enough to protect your home, move and let me do it", which is a really fast way to get killed. You don't enter there unless you are invited by the spirit or a follower of the spirit on their request. Most humans don't understand that, so while the calles were listed and JLD was put on alert, unless danny called himself, they would not enter.
After hashing out that that Phantom was not in fact an ancient, and that yes kids who had called them were followers asking on his request , a very panicked JLD meeting was called with guest Red Huntress acting as a mediator for what needed to be done.
Working with the JDL the Anti-ecto laws were destroyed in just under a year and a half and the Red Huntress being given an offical spot on JLD as a ghost expert/excorsit learning under both Zatanna and Constantine. (Much to the amusement of most of team Phantom and the begrudging acceptance of Sam)
For her civilian life, Valerie still works with Sam as her head of security. They are pretty much best friends but they fight like cats and dogs about everything (to them it is friendly bickering with a limial edge, to others these two look like they are about to throw down). No one understands how Sam has not fired her or why she has not quit, but they are almost infamous for both their "fights" and for being an absolutely terrifying team to fight against. Lex learned the hard way not to interrupt one of their fights.
You may be wondering how this becomes a known problem. In true Danny luck he has run into a bunch of different bats as civilians.
damian volunteers at the same animal shelter and is put with him every time due to danny finding his "fighting spirit" cute instead of intimidating. Damian has an odd respect for "Nightingale", and will sometimes ask for his opinion on matters. "I don't need advise, I just wish to see it from a different perspective"
Tim (under the name Alvin) ran into him at the park when he was having a bad day and somehow wound up talking with Danny because "sometimes it helps to talk to someone who doesn't know you, gives you a non-biased opinion."
Danny lives in crime ally. It's cheap and he feels at home with all the gun shots. Red hood is worried AF about the really nice and helpful guy who gives snack to his street kids and takes the working girls out on "dates" genuinely treating them like queens. The resonce "oh my parents weapons used to "mis-fire" all the time when I was a kid" was not what he was expecting to hear after noticing how calm he was after a gun fight broke out on his block.
Eventually, the bats realize that the person each of them have mentioned is the same guy, panic thinking that he is actually someone sent by an enemy, only to find out from. Oracle that no technically THEY are the ones stalking him because he was there long before they started showing up and they kept going back.
The bats settle only to panic again when oracle revealed that when double checking he background that he seems to be a run away from his crazy villan parents who are still calling him despite him not answering for three years and changing his name to get away from them. (danny keeps reminding his dad to use the "phantom network"to make calls. He keeps forgetting.)
There are multiple signs that her rival Pharoah seems to be stalking the guy all across his very limited social media, and after digging more she is pretty sure her guess on him being the CEO of FRAIR Inc. Tucker Foley Is true. More horrifying based off the very old social media that she found, Danny used to be very close friends with both Tucker and the ruthless Sam Manson who has been slowly causing both Lex Luther and Superman a media shit storm like never seen before.
After talking with some of their old classmates, it was confirmed that both of them were VERY possessive of Danny before he ran away.
Even more concerning, it seems the rumors of him having a very passionate fling with the red Huntress were true. Nightwing (because for some unexplained reason Red Huntress has serious onesided beef with the origanal members of the JL) had almost lost his head when he tried to casually bring it into conversation with her.
Saying about how if they so much as sniffed around Danny as thier hero "fursonas" she would personally see to it that the Wayne's suffered a long list of unfortunate incidents. She had left Danny to keep him safe and had enough trouble watching the "other four" that she didn't need and bats sticking thier noses where they didn't belong and dragging him back into the crazy.
Dick had come home shaken and with a new perspective and respect of the level of commitment Red Huntress had in defending her old flame. Like getting a job just to keep an eye on his other crazy exs and parents. Commitment. And maybe a bit obsessed holy shit, he thought the bats were bad.
The only safe one seems to be his sister, who left a year before he did, making daily phone calls and messages trying to convince he beloved little brother to get away from that crazy town and come to stay with her. She seemed to be the only one who Danny still talked to. (Ecto can make emotions more volatile, and as a therapist, jazz wanted to keep as many outside factors far away from her patients, meaning she still can't charge her phantom phone, its normal phone calls or nothing).
Danny is obviously to all of this 😀.
I may add small snips to this as it was a way to tie small scenes together. But yah. Again sorry for mistakes I wrote these on my phone! And fever is still a thing...
As always feel free to borrow/add on to this! Love to see where stories go, just tag me if you start a new post so I can read it please!!!
Take care! -Nutcase42

And like I haven’t seen anyone say “it’s just for kids! It’s supposed to be brain dead!” In reference to the live action. Especially since they literally show the genocide of The Air Benders, and literally show several people being burned alive!!! That is not a show that is for kids!!! That is not “dumbing it down and it having the emotional depth of Paw Patrol” 🙄 like I highly doubt Paw Patrol full on showed an entire people being murdered and burnt to death! Be so for real here honestly!!!
The problem is a lot of people went into watching the live action with closed minds/their minds already made up that this show was gonna be horrible. So they gave it no chance at all and every little mistake they used as a reason for why they were right to think that!
It is by no means a perfect show! They changed a lot of things. Shortened and condensed the first season so that the important bits would fit into 8 episodes. Added a few new details here and there (the Lu Ten funeral scene, the comet festival that had all the Airbenders coming to one temple thus making it easier for the fire nation to kill them all in one attack, and the stuff they added to Yue’s character). And the acting is a bit iffy in parts! There are def things that they changed that I didn’t like.
But overall I enjoyed watching it! It was fun and interesting to see how the world of The Last Airbender was brought to life! It was fun to watch the bending, you know minus the parts where people were being burnt alive. And the sets, the air temple, the southern and Northern water tribe village, and even Omashu, looked pretty damn good! The clothing was pretty cool too, very bright and colorful just like the animated show! I do agree with what some people say about the clothes looking like they’d never been worn before! Katara and Sokka’s clothes def shouldn’t have looked brand new never worn before. The clothes should have looked like they’d been worn and used a lot. But other than that the clothes almost perfectly matched up with the animated series!!
In all honesty if you haven’t actually watched the live action show then you shouldn’t be speaking on it! There are some things about it that aren’t the best, but there’s also some good things about it as well! Maybe watch it first before you pass judgement on it 🤷🏼♀️
I don't believe the people who say the atla live action show is good.
the most they seem to say is "just turn your brain off and you'll enjoy it-" and "it's for kids! it's supposed to be braindead."
the reason atla has endured as long as it has, is because people are still finding intelligent discourse to have about its mature themes and its thoughtful story and expansive world building. it's a timeless classic because it found a balance between being light hearted and humorous, when appropriate, and completely serious when exploring its darker material. There are no fucking jokes about katara's mom dying or the genocide of the air nomads. but they are a cast of kids/pre teens and they definitely feel like kids. they grow and mature, and they joke around and have a good time, but the fucking show never felt the need to dumb itself down because it thought kids were too fucking stupid to appreciate character growth or a nuanced story.
it's actually embarrassing to be here and say well atla is supposed to be for kids, so having the emotional depth of paw patrol is fine-
I'm so sorry that kids these days can't handle a story about redemption and genocide and imperialism.
I'm so sorry that kids are being fed slop under the guise that they're too stupid to have anything else, because God knows those of us who grew up with avatar sure didn't appreciate how smart it was.
that's why WE STILL TALK ABOUT IT YEARS LATER ACKNOWLEDGING HOW MANY LITTLE THINGS WE BOTH OBSERVED AND MISSED IN THE SERIES WHEN WE ORIGINALLY WATCHED IT.
go ahead, write paw patrol the last airbender.
kids definitely don't need to know what genocide and imperialism are. they're definitely not very fucking relevant topics of the modern day!! god knows American kids in particular shouldn't know how genocides and propaganda and the total annihilation of oppressed cultures work!!
