Sokka: *Laying face down on the floor* Katara: So Zuko said he liked you? Sokka, muffled: Yeah Aang: ...and you asked him to marry you? Sokka: Yeah Toph: Oh shit. How did he react? Sokka: Dunno, I ran before I could scare him even more *Meanwhile* Zuko, walking into his private rooms: Uncle holy shit I'm gonna get married!

my sister said to me that she doesn’t think Azula would’ve killed Aang if not to bring Zuko home, and that made me realize something very interesting.
Azula doesn’t have a reason to want to capture Aang.
Not anymore than the rest of the Fire Nation. She wasn’t ordered to, but she was ordered to bring Zuko (and Iroh) home. Which she does, by killing Aang and giving Zuko the credit.
And you know what’s interesting? During the main four interactions Azula has with Aang during the second season, she sends Mai and Ty Lee away. She leaves them to fight Katara and Sokka, she leaves them to chase the bison she knows doesn’t have the Avatar, she fights him solo on the Drill and she leaves them to guard a bear and an empty throne while she takes on the Avatar in the catacombs.
She separates herself from them to fight Aang four different times.
From anyone else, it could be a pride thing. But Azula has shown on multiple occasions that she does not value pride above all else. She is insanely strategic, and she’s fine with making it look like someone else is winning if it means she has the upperhand. She admits when she needs help, hence having Mai and Ty Lee in the first place and Zuko in Ba Sing Se. She even apologizes to Ty Lee that one time. Azula does not value pride over results.
She doesn’t celebrate prematurely, either— during the Drill episode, she’s practically the only one who isn’t celebrating the victory. Azula doesn’t celebrate a victory until it’s final. Whereas Iroh in his flashback, a prideful man, had been boasting about burning Ba Sing Se to the ground.
Pride. It’s the food of the wise man, but the liquor of the fool.
It’s as if Azula is trying to capture/eliminate Aang specifically just to give Zuko the credit. The lack of witnesses, the way she seems to pursue the mission as a personal one. She intends to bring Zuko back to the Fire Nation as Ozai requested, but she intends to bring him back her way and get him unbanished.

the live action atla better be funny
like i know that it’s gonna be more serious than the cartoon, i’m okay with them expanding the world in ways they couldn’t as a children’s show and examining the damage and trauma that comes with this story
but it better be funny
we better ride giant koi, and evacuate cities with cephalopods, and enrage a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage
the whole thing about avatar is that the world is harsh and scary and and full of danger but it is also full of laughter and friendships that last lifetimes and sharing good tea with a stranger

Dragons are very protective of what is theirs, and fire benders are very protective of their chosen people.
The moment Zuko sees Azula after the war, no longer under the control and possession of their father, somthing in his heart clicks back into place. He won't let his little sister be hurt again. "Touch her and I'll burn you alive."

something interesting I like to think about, also, is that scene in Zuko Alone where Zuko tries to feed the Turtleducks like Azula does, because we’re meant to assume it’s needless animal cruelty from Azula, but we really only see Zuko’s failed attempt at copying her.
Zuko seems surprised by the results, by the Turtleduck attacking him. If Azula was throwing fire around the Turtleducks to scare them, Zuko probably wouldn’t have thought it was a good idea.
So does it make sense for Azula to feed the turtleducks by chucking a huge piece of bread at them? I don’t think so. I think what makes more sense is if she threw a big piece of bread to watch the baby turtleducks compete for who can eat the most off of it, kicking each other out of the way and such. That’s something Baby Azula might find entertaining, and something Zuko might think is funny enough to show his mom.

did a bit of flash fiction just to get something out of my brain. might turn this into sth long enough to be worth putting on ao3 idk
jet and zuko, set roughly post zuko alone
The swordsman leapt in front of Jet with a showy kick and a flick of his wrists which somehow… dispelled the fire?
(He has to teach me that he has to show me how he did that he turned himself into a shield and it worked it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.)
Jet became more excited and more determined to have him in his group.
He had heard of chi abilities from Longshot, who used them to make his arrows hold in place when he wished, or hit impossibly harder. If firebending worked off of chi, too, then it was blockable with chi?
Certainly, the swordman had figured out some sort of method of keeping the fire from touching them, and was certain enough in it to throw himself in front of a fireball, over and over again, to keep the far-more-flammable Jet safe.
Between the two of them they managed to throw off the group of firebenders in front of them, leaving them a few moments to clear their heads before they would move on. Perhaps it would be best to rush on immediately, give the ashmakers less time to cause more destruction, but they wouldn’t do anyone any good if they died because they hadn’t caught their breath.
The swordsman was looking at him. He didn’t smile - it didn’t seem like something he did, particularly – but his scowl was gone.
(As much as it could be, at least. Jet would need to ensure that a certain ashmaker was dead.)
Jet gave him a grin in return. “You fight well,” he complimented, and was glad to notice he was telling the truth. This boy was a good fighter, and he wanted him, and he wasn’t lying to him. A compliment didn’t count as manipulation, right?
(It saddened him that he wasn’t sure of the answer to that question.)
He pressed on. “That trick of yours is especially useful. Blocking the fire – I’ve never seen that before. Do you mind taking point?”
“Of course,” he nodded, serene, then, “Uh, or – no, I don’t mind.” His scowl was back, and it was kinda cute. “Just stay behind me. I’ll keep you safe.”
“Yeah,” Jet didn’t bother trying to stop smiling at him, “I know you will.”
Breath back, bond strengthened, trust built, Jet gestured out of the alley they had been in, onwards to take out more firebenders. The swordsman nodded, keeping in front of him as they made their way closer to the fighting.
Woodsmoke filled the air, along with an awful burnt meat smell that didn’t come from the butcher’s. Under the sounds of screams came the crackle of fire, hungry for anything it could ensnare, and indifferent as the sun that beat down upon them.
“It doesn’t bother you?” the boy glanced over his shoulder at him, watching him with his good eye. Out of the shadowed alleyway, with the firelight in front of him catching it, his eye appeared gold. “The firebending?”
Jet shook off the jolt of alarm at seeing an ashmaker’s eye, and snorted. 
“What cowards have you been fighting with?” Jet would never turn down an opportunity to kill a firebender. “Between the two of us, we’ll have a ball out there.”
The swordman relaxed under his faith, and said nothing more.
