I'm not going to be okay

Gyatso might break my heart and I'm going to cry I'm already crying I can't believe Aang lost ALL THIS like the scale of it, seeing real human people MOVE and speak and interact and knowing they're all gone for Aang is going to make me just....I can't

If Aang had accepted his role as the Avatar, he might not have had to leave Gyatso.

But he didn't. He ran away. And when he woke up, he saw the exact consequences of that. He won't do it again. It was hard, really, really hard, but when it came down to it, he had accepted his duty to kill the Fire Lord.

And then he didn't have to. Funny how things worked out, isn't it? He just has to keep moving forward.

Roku: I will find us a covered wagon and ostrich horses, if you two can manage not to kill each other while I'm gone.

Sozin: Oh, please. We're not children.

Gyatso:

Sozin:

Gyatso: Eat shit and die.

Sozin: Yes, fuck you.

When the Roku novel comes out will you read it? Like I have zero interest in Roku but I’m really curious how will Kyoshi guide him and the four nations before 100 years war. Also I’m curious how will they depict Sozin (let’s pray they won’t make him Gellert Grindelwald, you know what I mean)

lmao i only vaguely know what u mean but yes i am not a roku/sozin toxic yaoi truther soz guys. anyway i think conceptually it does actually have a lot of potential to me as long as it actually goes in depth on like. the logic of imperialism and its mechanisms, modes of extraction & exploitation, naval strategy etc etc. and i would also love if it was set at the southern air temple during roku’s time with the air nomads and teenage gyatso was a primary character. like if it focalized a young gyatso and his community, and/or thematically focalized the socioeconomic factors that facilitated this major geopolitical shift (which the kyoshi novels allude to but don’t get to rly sink their teeth into bc of the era in which it’s set), it could actually really work for me. that said, roku as a character is simply not charming or sympathetic enough to me to be able to helm a novel on reputation alone, unlike kyoshi or even yangchen. i’m all for fleshing them out (roku, sozin, and especially gyatso), but i’m apprehensive bc i have no idea whether this new author will even do a remotely good job. like he is probably a liberal tbh. but yeah i’ll likely read it at some point lol

#hermioneholic #asks #roku #sozin #gyatso #roku novels #idk i also thought the kyoshi/yangchen novels would be bad and i really liked them (esp the yangchen novels) so who knows.#maybe i will be pleasantly surprised #maybe it will be the marxist gyatso novel of my dreams

so back in 2021 i wanted to do a rewrite of avatar: the last airbender but with avatar zuko- i actually wrote a lot of world building and was planning to like rewrite episode by episode but gave up on it before then, so- I'm just going to post it here-

Prior To Story.

Canon Story

Kyoshi died in the year 82 BG at the age of 230.

Roku was born in the year 82 BG and died in the year 12 BG.

Azulon was born in the year 0 AG and died 95 BG.

Monk Gyatso was born at 78 BG and died at 0 AG.

Aang was born at 12 BG and woke up 100 AG.

Canon Divergence

Kyoshi died in the year 52 BG at the age of 260.

Roku was born in the year 82 BG and died 0 AG.

Zuko was born in the year 52 BG.

Monk Gyatso was born 22 BG (in the South Pole).

Aang was born at 88 AG (in the South Pole).

Sozin had wished to wait until Kyoshi had passed for his plans for war, knowing her lack of hesitancy for ridding the world of Chin the Conqueror. News of Kiyoshi’s demise was delayed to the Fire Nation, thus it was assumed she died eighteen weeks before Prince Zuko, First Born to Sozin was born. When news reached Sozin, he began his re-education for the people of the nation. Installing propaganda into the Culture of the Fire Nation, making them believe that:

The Danger is Grave and Growing.

War will be easy and cheap, (but only if they act now.)

War will solve all (or at least most) of their problems.

The enemy is evil. Or crazy. Maybe both.

Peace is unpatriotic.

Sozin and Roku grew as close as brothers could. Each had attended each other's weddings as best men, and when there when their children were born. When Zuko had been born, with no spark to speak of, Roku convinces Sozin that it could very much be delayed, which is true, but very much of an understatement. Throughout Zuko’s life, Sozin is not present. Roku takes on the role of a father to the young boy, educating him in the way of the old Fire Nation, him disproving of Sozin's leadership, yet being none the wiser to what his dearest friend really wants.

On the day of Zuko’s birth, a dragon from the “abandoned” Sun Warriors Temple had flown down in the Courtyard. It was rare to see the said dragon and Zuko separated. Druk had been waiting for his companion for twenty years, to the point where he was a young adult at ten feet tall. Roku takes Zuko around the world to see the lies that Sozin is spreading are far from the truth, it is also where the Roku at the Southern Air Temple, when Zuko is ten, he learns of Zuko’s status of the Avatar as the Monk of the Temple shows him of the toys that prove of his Spirit.

Zuko began training at age four, even when his katas were cold. When Zuko is eight, he takes on the art of the sword, as he is ambidextrous, he learns to master the Dual Duo.

Zuko grows up under the teachings of Roku, learning that what Sozin is doing is wrong, but as he grows up and accompanies Sozin to his War Meetings. He holds his tongue until he learns of Sozin's plan for the Great Comet and the Genocide of the Air Nomads, it frightens him to his very core the fact that late into the night he calls for several messenger hawks to warn the four temples of the Air Nomads to run and hide. Many heed his warning and take refuge (along with Air Bison and Winged Lemures) in towns of the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes as well as the Swamp. However, not all do and stay to protect the temples. When reports come that many of the Residents of the Air Temples have escaped, Sozin learns of Zuko’s betrayal and soon goes to kill his own son. Sozin burns the left side of Zuko’s body, his burn travelling from his eye to his ear, down his neck, ending on the back of his hand.

Roku interferes, distracting Sozin enough to bring Zuko to Druk, with supplies that include his Dual Dao, and ends up sacrificing himself to save them, sending Druk to fly to the South Pole.

On the way there, Zuko wakes up, still very much injured during a storm, causing Avatar State to freeze both Druk and him in an iceberg.

Before Avatar Zuko

Canon Divergence

With Zuko’s warning, while many Air Nomads, the monks at the Northern and Southern as well as the nuns at the Eastern and Western, stayed. There were many that had escaped and years into the hundred year war, Airbenders could be found all across the world, Swamp, South Pole, Si Wong Desert, Ba Sing Se, etc.

Due to the help of the Airbenders, abandoning their pacifist morales, simply for the fact that the Fire Nation would not offer the same mercy, while preferring to offer non-violence at first, then resorting to defending themselves at the expense of the lives of the Fire Nation. The South Pole is not as decimated as it had been in the canon story.

There are several villages and far more waterbenders in canon. Some tribes consist exclusively of airbenders, some of those of watertribe members and others of both airbenders and watertribe. While the South Pole is nowhere near the structure of the North Pole.

Waterbenders have learned to hide their waterbending, meaning that the Fire Nation raids have become few and far between. With raids becoming scarce, Kya lives. Aang, Sokka and Katara grow up together, being thick as thieves. Aang most definitely is still a master airbender, and while Katara is so much better than she was in the beginning, there are most definitely gaps in her knowledge. Bato and Hakoda still very much leave for war, and Gyatso stays behind with Gran-Gran and Kya.

Sokka, Katara and Aang are on a fishing trip when they find something in an iceberg…

ATLA Live Action Episode 5: Overall Thoughts.

I think this is an unpopular opinion but I didn’t mind that everyone got trapped in the Spirit World this time. This show tends to do better at crafting new material than adapting the original’s material, largely due to the fact that anything they do to that material will most likely pale in comparison. This isn’t to say I think they should rewrite the whole plot, but it’s cool when they get to explore a totally new thing. I like the spirit world as a setting, and I like the “creepy place that none of the characters know how to deal with” trope so that in itself did work for me. I saw people annoyed that Wan Shi Tong was there but I didn’t really care one way or another (with the exception of wondering what they’ll do if they get a Book 2 bc I love The Library). I also saw people annoyed that Aang knew who Hei Bai was right away, but to me that was required for this new plot so again, that didn’t bother me.

On Aang: this episode is where the show’s tone shift really got to me. I like that this show was more willing to delve into Aang’s trauma and how tragic his backstory was: while the original dealt with it well, it had limitations due to its being a kids show. This version had an opportunity to explore it more and I’m glad it did. But this episode was where I started to miss the levity of original Aang. It felt like every line was about his destiny, his guilt, his need to be a hero, etc. etc. And this is great in small doses but it can’t be Aang’s (or anyone’s) whole character. Aang needs to feel like a person beyond the backstory, and in this episode he didn’t (and I know it’s writing not acting because Gordon acted the hell out of those lines as usual). Aang being the only one who could resist the fog felt plot armor-y to me but it’s whatever. I liked the further development of Aang and Gyatso’s relationship, they’re very sweet, BUT this is the billionth instance of the show taking something important Katara did (in this case telling Aang he couldn’t have stopped the Air Nomad genocide) and giving it to a male character. They need to stop doing that.

Katara has gone back to doing nothing and having things happen to her but that was true for everyone this episode so I’ll let it slide THIS TIME! Her flashback was well-done (both Kiawentiio and whoever plays young Katara DELIVERED on the acting). The change of having her mother die explicitly because of her bending, while dark, has potential for really interesting exploration in the future, and also sets up some parallels with Aang if they want to explore that. There are also some rather problematic aspects of it relative to her arc as a whole (explained in this awesome post), but in isolation I think it works as a writing choice.

Sokka’s backstory was also well done and I liked that they laid the foundations for where his insecurities come from. I saw some people saying Hakoda would never say that, but I don’t think he was characterized thoroughly enough in the original to make that call. I also think that he’s a minor enough character that they can make those changes without much of a consequence. I do, however, think they needed to switch Sokka and Katara’s flashbacks in terms of order, because Katara’s is objectively way worse but having Sokka’s after it makes it feel like it’s not and it’s just weird.

Zuko didn’t do a lot this episode but Dallas Liu continues to be great.

Highlight of the episode was definitely the Azula scenes for me (and yes this is definitely influenced by my bias since she’s my favorite character). I wasn’t sure how I felt about her nearly burning the trainer because she’s not a RAAAH ANGER character and I didn’t want them to make her one, but I thought about it and realized it made sense if it was more of an “I’m practicing and I can’t stop” thing. I decided to interpret it that way and give it the benefit of the doubt. Of course I loved the “You’re perfect” “It’s not good enough” exchange. It’s an echo of Azula’s book 2 intro but with a younger Azula who’s with her friends and doesn’t have to wear the same masks and hasn’t beaten all the insecurities out of herself yet. I like that this show is allowing her to show so many emotions right off the bat. I loved Azula as a villain in Book 2 but it felt like the original didn’t decide they wanted her to be more than that until mid book 3. This show wants her to be more layered right off the bat, and as someone who always advocates for acknowledging Azula’s depth I really appreciate that. I also loved the shots of her training and just being so frustrated with herself during Gyatso’s final monologue. The narration suited her well and it was something I always pictured her doing when I imagined her life in between Zuko’s banishment and Book 2. It felt very in character.

My overall impression was that not a lot happened in this episode. Like, almost nothing happened. They introduced a cool new setting which I think worked. They used the lack of plot to do some good character work, with varying degrees of success. The flashbacks were good, but the show needs to do more thinking on how those events shaped the characters beyond just having them be their trauma. The main trio’s dynamic did improve a little bit in the spirit world. Sokka and Katara both got to be snarky which was great, but I do still feel like that dynamic is lacking and I can’t put my finger on why. I think it’s serious tone because every time the three of them are together they’re talking about some massive thing. They’re never just…together. I appreciated that this episode had some together time, even if only a little. Azula was by far the highlight (for me) I hope I like her future scenes just as much. And here’s a reminder that anyone who hates on Lizzy Yu for not looking exactly like a cartoon character is not welcome on this blog.

I’ll give this episode an 8.4/10 (elevated because of the Azula scenes).

Atla LA live commenting:

Ep 1:

Disclaimer: this is merely my personal view on the first watch of this show. Perhaps you had a better or worse experience.

.

It's not the worst I've seen but it feels incredibly rushed. They're spewing out all the info at you without giving time to allow the watcher to take it in.

Though I loved the extra time given to see the first attack of the Fire Nation against the Southern Air Temple.

Some of the actors are better than others and it's unfortunately obvious. Though everything seems incredibly cheesy. Which I can mostly ignore since it's a live action from a cartoon.

.

I adore the name of the Southern Water Tribe Village. Wolf Cove :)

.

I'm incredibly sad that Sokka didn't put on his war paint and helmet before approaching Zuko :(

They're fight seen is way more dramatic than the cartoon lmao

.

I notice that Aang already has some hair growing in as he's being taken to Zuko's ship. Nice touch. I like that detail.

Kinda stinks they didn't take the time to check out the old war ship

Sokka: "let's go save the weird kid"

.

GASP, Uncle Iroh and Aang talk in the jail cells!!!! :D.

Aang: "Is that what you believe?"

Iroh: *ah shi- I'm blabbering too much* oh hey, fam, gotta go- I'll send you some tea

.

The Force is strong with Aang. That jail key scene is air fire.

.

AANG IN ZUKOS ROOM. HEY STOP READING HIS DIARY PUNK

He took the staff in Zuko's room, instead of already having one. I'm okay with this difference actually. I like that, it's funny.

Zuko's hinted at obsession with Airbender artifacts is gonna help the Airbender. Gotta love it.

.

Aang escape

Zuko angy o.O

BUT YEAH GO KATARRA!

But are we gonna see some Avatar State?? ...Nope, guess not.

.

The way that they show that nature has been taking over the S Air Temple over the course of 100 years is making me very happy. That's a great addition.

.

OH NO, ARE WE GONNA SEE THE REMAINS OF GYATSO AND THE KIDS OH NO

Oh geez, there he is oh geez. Ouch ouch ouch

THE FLASHBACK IT HURTS

Oh here we go :/. Avatar State time

"you will always be my friend." Dang. New phrase to torture myself over.

The hug 😭

.

Is he gonna keep Gyatso's necklace?

.

Ending with some deep truths and Zuko slightly going nuts. Good 1st EP end, ngl.

.
