#Aang is a ~little shit~

[sokkastyles]

Nobleman on Zuko's Council: Firelord, someone blew up one of our factories!

Zuko, knowing full well it was Katara: Who could have done this?

Second Nobleman: Firelord, several of our war machines were crushed mysteriously by falling rocks overnight.

Zuko, deadpan, knowing it was Toph: Whatever shall we do?

Third Nobleman: And there was an uprising at one of the schools. Apparently one of the students, a young colonial wearing his school uniform belt as a headband, started a "rewrite the history books" campaign.

Zuko: Young people these days.

Fourth Nobleman: Also someone in a spirit mask is robbing the rich at swordpoint while reciting lines from theater.

Zuko: That one was me.

Getting reeeeal annoyed when someone posts a "criticism" and "rewrite" of the events of the show and it's very obvious that they just wanna drive aang away from the friend group, get zuko and katara closer, and weaken every bond that is between aang and katara. And then go to hell and back to make it sound like it's what is best for the story. Like ya ain't fooling no one bubba.

#and you get this urge to call them out but you know you can't or you'll be attacked #cuz they get shit tons of notes #so you just block them and vent on your little blog with thirty followers out of which half are dead #atla #my post #avatar the last airbender #anti zutara #antizutara #pro aang #aang defense squad #pro kataang #kataang #kataangtag

Would Sokka, Suki and Zuko form a band? And would they call it boiling rock (but Zuko still gets on stage with like... a grand piano or a violin or smth to make it more emo) ?

zuko plays the tsungi horn, sokka plays …

this thing . and suki probably plays the pipa.

sokka writes the lyrics (they just flow out of him, he has a gift!), zuko edits the lyrics to be more poetical by employing more allusions and using more symbolic language, and suki sings (she’s the only one who can sing while she plays, but also, i genuinely doubt zuko or sokka would have nice singing voices anyway).

the idea of them calling their band the boiling rock is so funny it’s like the ultimate fuck you.

and most importantly, iroh gets to see his dream of zuko playing the tsungi horn during music night finally realized.

#id in alt text #aclusterfuckofglitterbugs #asks #zuko #sokka #suki #iroh #thinking abt that scene in chapters 78-79 of the stone where baoyu’s elegy just flows out of him #and then daiyu is like ‘ok that was good but you should change this to this and do this and this and this instead’ #that’s sokka and zuko writing lyrics for their stupid little band #also of course suki has her own band back on kyoshi island #this is just a side gig for her #when suki isn’t there to sing for them aang plays the pipa and katara sings #i think she has a lovely voice #but toph doesn’t participate at all bc she’s like ‘that’s gay nerd shit for nerds’ #(she’s still scarred by the music lessons that were forced on her by her parents and she never wants to touch another instrument ever again

[yourhighness6]

Saw a shitpost about how the steambabies would be airbenders because of the elements mixing and all I could think was that it was the ultimate ex's revenge

#atla #avatar the last airbender #zutara #katara x zuko #zuko x katara #steambabies #no but can you imagine #everyone would loose their fucking minds #by which I mean katara would be in shock #zuko would probably be pissed for a few days but want to support his kids and eventually get over it #sokka would laugh his ass of once he heard #so would toph #suki would do the same a little more sympathetically #aang would try to play it cool and internally be like “oh fuck shit did I accidentally mess with the spirit world again” #not that aang swears internally

[ssreeder]

Aang is the sweetest and I love him in your story

Plz more Aang 🥺

do you mean….

THIS GUY?!???! The best character in the show (no don’t fucking argue with me Aang is the best sorry Jet you’re second)

he’s actually being dumb with sokka in the first five minutes of the next chapter so you’ll see him again soon haha.

#Ok so I got all your asks #& was like wtf is up with pphaps my buddy #Then I saw your comment on the chapter and was like OHHHHHHHHH yeah ok I understand haha #Your asks are cracking me up #I fucking adore you #& Aang my little buddy gets to be fun next chapter #For like five minutes then Katara is stealing the show #WE GET THE GIRLS GOSSIP NEXT CHAPTER I CAN NOT WAIT #I’m so excited haha #I love Katara and suki shit talking haha #Also because things are getting more JUICY haha #Anyway love ya friend #Drink some water <3 #Liab #ITF #leaving it all behind #Selaphina

[thebrightestbling]

I'm sorry but like, the avatar live action is a fucking masterpiece like??? Is this the era of good live action series now? This is way better than the original series, I'm enjoying the realness here and how deep and dark it is. I'm not even finished lol

#avatar live action #atla live action #atla netflix #avatar the last airbender #every single actor is cast perfectly #everyone looks like the characters in the animation #they slay that shit #also i absolutely love aang in the live action #this actor is amazing #i love this little boy

[ididgettomeetyou]

thinking of making a sokkaang blog

#sokkaang #sokka #aang #atla #yo aangs a little shit lol

[mzcain27]

Finished the live action avatar

It’s not a perfect adaptation, I think the biggest thing is they have taken a lot of the fun out of it, Aang doesn’t wanna go do kid stuff, Iroh is way more serious, BUT I don’t necessarily blame like the series itself as much as I blame the current state of tv being in constraints of like 8 episodes and wanting people to binge it in the first few days and everything.

I hope they let Azula be as scary as possible next season, I think they just wanted her introduced a bit earlier since everyone was gonna be waiting for it, I hope they let Iroh chill out a bit more, but in general from my point of view if you see people bashing this series with as much vitriol as the movie then they’re being super dramatic. There are parts that could absolutely be better but like I said those issues go hand in hand with issues with all of tv right now. I think it’s decent at least, I know it’s a beloved series but some people are being HARSH

#bring back filler and characters just hanging out #and stop expecting people to watch shit in the first 30 seconds before you cancel it #for reference I think it’s a better adaptation than the new Percy Jackson tbh #same kinda vibes in the exposition dumps and kinda treating the audience like idiots but avatar just slightly bumps above percy for me #other minor issues are the acting at times but some of those times are literal children #a lot of people seem pissed at the zuko portrayal but season one zuko is dramatic af a lot of the time #and I think Dallas Liu just turned that up a bit and made him angrier which I’m not mad at #I wish katara was a little snarkier I saw someone mention her rage being kind of hamstrung and they were kinda right #it’s not entirely gone but it’s not there as much as I’d like #cgi is kinda whack at times too but that’s everything atm as well not avatar specific #the martial arts pretty good too esp fire bending they still clearly took from Shaolin kinda styles #I do wish they’d speed aang up a bit though #both in general but also stop using slow mo when he’s doing shit #anyway #I’m not super mad at it #if they don’t fuck up toph and do some better characterising of azula and iroh we might actually see it to the end #and some more episodes for like actual development but I feel like that’s wishful thinking with Netflix rn #even like 10-12 would be better and then sokka could’ve had his development with the Kyoshi warriors #and aang can show more of his reluctance and fear because he’s a twelve year old pacifist #avatar #avatar the last airbender #avatar live action #atla

[theburialofstrawberries]

thinking abt how in the final battle aang’s first move upon entering the avatar state was to yank ozai by his beard. slayage 

#that shitty little goatee shit.. aang was right it needed to go #something so thrilling about that final battle and how for the first half its ozai chasing aang and aang running away and aang down #to his last defence...and then boom click avatar state and the battle flips completely and its aang hunting down ozai #and its ozai now panting and running scared #just like the sequencing the inversion...we love to see it and think about it for days on end we do

[comradekatara]

gonna say smth that might be controversial but ykw i need to speak my truth. ideally, for me, kataang is like. bffs to middle school boyfriend girlfriend to amicable exes to friends w benefits to coparents of 2 great kids (bumi doesn’t exist bc he’s annoying) while they’re each in different parts of the world doing their own thing but also they see each other all the time and are always hanging out and traveling and chilling together because at the end of the day they are, fundamentally, best friends who love each other more than anything, and always will be, forever. peace & love & light; mwah <33

#aang&katara #postwargaang #sorry but bumi is in the military. and that doesn’t make sense at all #anyway. they are just best friends who are in love and make out sometimes but they haven’t put a label on it since they were kids #bc they don’t need to! #just a big pronponent of ‘none of these bitches are gonna be trapped in a momogamous heterosexual union if I can help it!’ #katara has deep seated monogamous heterosexual instincts ofc #but I think she’s monogamous in like. a staccato way #she has a constant rotation of men. revolving doors if u will #aang and haru are constants #but sometimes she needs a break from guys who are kind and understanding and good for her #and she needs to date a hot piece of shit instead #and that’s valid and we support her #and sometimes aang needs to hook up w ty lees little sister and that’s also valid!!! #Free Them from the shackles of torturous monogamous unions #they’re too cool and enlightened for that. honestly #u can be in deep gorgeous cosmic love w/out being married since middle school #I promise that’s possible and ok actually #anyway. here is my fwb kataang agenda take it or leave it

[hella1975]

Another taob chapter of you seeing inside my soul and writing it all out. The Gaang seeing what Zuko is doing and being hurt by it but still not letting him self destruct while Also still being like “you have to apologize that wasn’t cool” while holding his hand to show “you’re still valued, we still want you here, you deserve kind things” is making my chest hurt. I have always wanted that and never gotten it. Taob Zuko is the most character of all time for me and every chapter he gets closer to my chest. Also I’m sorry you relate to him bc so do I and it fucking sucks lol. Seeing yourself be mean while internally going “what am I doing! Stop you’re making things worse!” But being unable to stop? Oh my god I had Never seen that described by someone who gets it. You can feel guilty in the moment it’s not always hours after, you can feel bad and want to shut up before you even get the first word out because you already know you’re gonna say it. I think me and you are made from the same mold because what the fuck. Also I send you asks about taob so often I’m gonna start signing them just so you know all the things in a collective that I think about it - 🫐

blueberry anon we are starting a support group for people like us i am holding ur hand so tight this means a lot to me bc even though i wrote the chapter ive still - like you - literally NEVER seen this actually be illustrated in a... forgiving (?) light before. like i understand it's a fine line between saying this behaviour is okay and completely demonising it, but just having it be treated kindly is huge. like it's such a horrible horrible side of mental illness bc not only is it really hard to glamorise and therefore gets sidelined/not talked about, but you also are FULLY aware of how much of a cunt you're being. sometimes - like you said - you are literally aware of it in the moment and there's a voice screaming at you to just please shut the fuck up but you CANT, and other times it takes a bit to calm down before you snap out of that mindset and just look at the mess you've made like 'what the fuck', but regardless of the guilt, the accountability is still yours. i wanted to show in this chapter that a person can take accountability for those things and still be treated kindly. so often the moment you lash out or actually show a mean/ugly side of mental illness, people drop you and it's hard to even blame them, which ironically tends to make that need for self-destruction worse and you get stuck in a really awful cycle. but katara was clear that zuko had done wrong and needed to apologise, and she still held his hand in spite of it.

im glad you could find the same comfort in that as i did x

#like i am guilty of being mean as a self-destuction tactic AND as a defence mechanism and neither of them are pretty #bc they both boil down to 'get these people away from me' #and it sucks bc there's ALWAYS collateral damage and i dont want pity bc i feel like i dont deserve it #but im always a little upset when people blanket statement decide im a bitch from that point on #which seems counterproductive like if you dont want to get called a bitch then dont act like a bitch #but just once i wish someone would look a little closer at WHY im doing these things #like sometimes i'm spitting the rudest shit you ever heard and it's literally bc im SCARED. how pathetic is that #so yeah it was important to me in this chapter to show both zuko and aang in sympathetic lights #bc just as it's important to acknowledge why zuko's doing these things and that he's not doing it to be cruel #it's also important to acknowledge that aang probably wont forget what zuko said. like that is permanent damage #that even forgiveness wont spare him from and zuko needs and deserves to understand that #ask #taob asks

What got you into Azulaang?

A long post on my personal history with ATLA, the fandom and Azulaang in particular. It's a bit less on the ship itself and more on how I got into it. If you wanna hear my thoughts on why I adore it from a narrative viewpoint lemme know.

also. wait. i just realised. your url. 5ds reference?

With Azulaang (and most atla ships for me, with some exceptions), I didn't really get into the ship traditionally. When ATLA was coming out, I watched it and tuned in every week, but I didn't interact with the fandom at all. The most I'd do is visit the old nick site, maybe look up art on deviantart (but these were mainly just funny comic strips and gags, maybe a dress up game), but our family had the one computer and most of the time my older brother used it to play runescape, and I wasn't savvy with the internet at ALL.

Come 2009, a bit over a year after the show ended, I got my first laptop as part of my school's program in year 5/6 (end of primary school). I still didn't have wifi at home, so I couldn't use the internet on the laptop there, and the school's internet was heavily blocked. We weren't allowed google back then iirc, and even when the ban on that was lifted a year later, we still weren't allowed to go on google images. But, there were sites that they hadn't blocked. Sites we could go on for fun. And that same year I discovered fanfiction dot net on the family computer.

So, I'd have a system. FF wasn't blocked at school. I'd open up internet explorer, go on fanfiction dot net, go to the atla tag, and - cause like, I had amazing taste as a kid, and Azula was my fave and the character I decided to latch onto for fanfiction content - open every Azula fic i could find. If it was a one-shot I would open it in the same window. If it was a multichapter, I would open a new window, and then open every chapter individually in its own tab. I'd have easily 300 tabs open just on fanfiction alone. Then when I went home I'd just CONSUME all the fics I could read. And, being young, I didn't have any preference for ships or content. As long as it involved Azula, I was happy to read. Even better, if it involved post-canon Azula stuff - I wanted to read about her recovery and a redemption arc!

While tyzula was definitely the big ship at that time (and zucest) for azula, I remember there being a few fics based on pairings I hadn't considered before; sokkla and azulaang. Granted I didn't think about ships at all, because I was 10, and shipping wasn't a thing in my brain except for me shipping myself with OOT Link. The azulaang ones, in particular, exactly fit my interests of post-canon recovery stories. So it had a good start.

Now that I'm older and I've been in and out of the fandom since, yknow, it started, I've always liked Azulaang. But I think with age I've come to appreciate just how nuanced the pair can be, it's wonderfully complicated and sometimes messy but I think they'd be a good fit.

But. yknow. ill save that for another time.

#osposts #asks #akiizayoi4869 #atla #azulaang #a tale of little me having superb tastes but no kitchen #btw i discovered fanfiction was a thing in 2009 #but dont think i didnt write my own before then #every year my primary school had a story competition where every student would write a story of their own #i wrote a zelda fic for 1st grade #hp for 2nd #third was my own cool story about a ninja gingerbread man #4th was my atla fic #aang and zuko went on an adventure and there was a city of gold #it was epic #hp one was iconic tho. the first half of the story was just various facts and trivia about the series. recap and shit. and then #harry shoots voldemort with a gun #killing him instantly #dumbledore shows up and gives harry a trophy and a million dollars #his parents were there and clappe #d #they were alive obv #harrys reaction was to say 'cool' #and lil 7 year old me drew harry with a gun #it was the best ever

An AU where Ursa accidently wakes Azula up and not Zuko.

She doesn't go back to sleep quite as quickly as Zuko does, and has a sneaking suspision as to what may be happening anyways. Ursa lays with her untill she's sleepy and tells her how much she loves her, how smart and brave she is and how much she wishes there was more time for her to show Azula that- how sorry she is that she hasn't yet.

When Azula wakes up with her mother vanished, and her grandfather dead...she knows, all to clearly, what's happened and it is enough to shine her father in a whole new, evil light.

So she tells Zuko, what happened and while it takes time- a lot of it- for him to beleive her he eventurally does. They mourn their mothers loss and come out closer then ever for it. Unfortunatly, this makes Ozai grow cold and cruel to Azula. She's still his favorite, but it doesn't mean much when he assosiates her with her brother and Azula doesn't care. She chooses her brother even when Ozai tries to manipulate her otherwise, Zuko being the only one whose been there since their mother was taken from them.

Iroh finds them like this, emotionally gripping one another for dear life and take them in as Ozai brushes them to the side for the most part, and vows to be there for them. He still stings from loseing Lu Ten, but he finds it in him to guide the two of them away from the idea's their father and nation are trying to put in their heads. And reforces how much Ursa loved them, that she always had.

When her brother reccives his scar, she can't breath she is so angry. Theres a hundred plans for vengence, for giving him back all the pain he's gave them. But doesn't when she finds out he is being sent to find the avatar. Ozai's life is aweful until he agrees to let her go with him.

Without really discussing it, they never intentonally look for the avatar. Instead they search for Ursa until it takes them into a villange in the Earth Kingdom where the Avatar and who water tribe siblings happen to be going through...

#Talk about a small change becomeing huge down the timeline #yes I know it's kinda hamfisted I get it #But...the point is if Azula had got the chance for even a little connection with Ursa before Ozai banishes her? She'd be his nightmare #Azula #Zuko #AU #Aang: I know you much be so conflicted...he is your father and the Fire Nation is your home but he's- #Zuko: Oh we know he is a peice of shit. #Azula: We literally on a sabatical to get our Mom back

[cloudjumpervalka]

i have now seen the live action atla series and god its so bad. it really is all the critics have been saying, it favors the characters telling you exposition over and over again with mediocre fight sequences.

the acting left a lot to be desired. the costuming left a lot to be desired. the writing DEFINITELY left a lot to be desired.

i feel very qualified to... judge the content of this as i was an undiagnosed autistic child with a hyperfixation on atla for the entirety of my middle school years. it was the only thing i cared about or thought about literally

like. the worst part of all of it. is not just the like. cutting of any character developing moments but alao like. these weird little plot differences ????? again these are arguments ive already seen online but, katara isnt allowed to be angry, sokka isnt allowed to be a good leader, aang isnt allowed to have FEELINGS.

god so much of it felt like. how many adults can we get to berate this child that looks like hes about to legitimately cry. the changes to bumis character? made me so angry.

like i guess i can see what the writers were "going for" if you want to call it that. they put so much focus on showing the violence of the fire nation, literally deciding to open the show. showing the genocide of the airbenders, burnt corpses and all. because of this exasperated showing of violence, the message being shoved down aangs throat by nearly every adult character is "you abandoned the world and people died because of you and will continue to die because of you and you will never atone for this"

like what these writers were going for is. aang is not allowed to be a child. none of these kids have been allowed to be kids in the war so we need to punish aang for that so that he can understand their pain. its because we only things you learn about katara and sokka is their tragic backstories and nothing about what makes them.... them..

so we cant possibly have aang be a fun loving kid bc we dont have time to explore that with anyone else !!! these characters cant bond !!!! suffering only !!!!!!!! we live in a time of suffering !!! suffering through these shitty plot changes !!!!!

#i could go on of course #about any little detail #about shoving omashu the mechanist and jet and secret tunnel all into one plotline #also like im so genuinely suprised at the amount of shit that took from season 2 and just deleted toph from the scene #also WEIRD to see comic and korra lore pop up #it made it feel like there were Real Fans of the show working on it but they didnt get to write anything other than a few bits #the episodes were so disjointed #i could have swore aang did this speech about never going to omashu before #and then the next episode starts with flashbacks to him with child bumi in omashu #IT HAD ONE GOOD SCENE AND IT WAS LU TENS FUNERAL OKAY
