#i believe this young woman will regret her decision to go into the cellar alone

gaang film night headcanons:

- aang is the one who asks questions constantly until toph says something like, "the idea of a film is that you wait and information is revealed." he also mixes up all the characters like if there's more than 2 brunette men w big jaws (and there always is) he can't tell them apart. he likes really over the top silly action films like fast and furious, and he loves studio ghibli. he'll pretty much watch anything although he has to hide his face in a pillow during the really gory bits of horror films.

- toph sometimes has one earbud in to listen to audio descriptions but her favourite part is mocking the dialogue. she finds film dialogue so stilted and unrealistic (mood) and she also gets annoyed at characters making bad decisions. the one always yelling at the screen like "just TALK TO EACH OTHER!" hogs the popcorn. will sit through most films if she's allowed to make fun of them but doesn't like psychological thrillers because they rely so much on visuals. loves a musical though.

- katara also loves a musical but especially loves the classics; anything long and intense w a moral dilemma at the heart of it that she can dissect afterwards. soft spot for 90s teen films, particularly the ones which adapt shakespeare. the type to always go back to her favourite films for a rewatch instead of something new. cries at a knights tale every time. she's the one who coordinates the takeaway order (because of course that's always a mess).

- sokka has *artistic taste* (he likes to think) he watches stuff that wins oscars and critiques the cinematography. the one to get annoyed at aang and toph talking the whole time, and then end up talking himself because he's arguing with katara about the central theme and everyone's like shut up its literally the bratz movie. he also really loves stuff like the bratz movie although won't admit it. always spills something.

- suki also likes action films, and anything historical or political (not like pride and prejudice, like death of stalin). she's definitely seen all the classic 90s teen films and can quote them with katara word for word. the most easygoing about what film they watch although she loves putting on something scary and watching everyone wet themselves.

- zuko loves horror films but no one wants to watch them with him because he always says they don't scare him (he's usually telling the truth. not always). also gets annoyed at people talking through the film, and anyone getting up for the toilet, eating too loudly, or breathing anywhere near him. everyone humours him until it gets too annoying and they try to smother him with a blanket. sometimes they give him the seat by the snacks so he can hand them out and feel like he has something to do.

bonus: uncle iroh occasionally comes in to bring snacks and sometimes he'll get distracted and watch the film with them. he's even worse than aang for talking and asking questions and it makes zuko cringe so hard but everyone else thinks it's hilarious.

#atla #if this is a world where they can have a film night then its a world in which zuko has been removed from his fathers custody #because damn that's a safeguarding concern if i ever saw one #luv posting headcanons simple as #uncle iroh like: ah #i believe this young woman will regret her decision to go into the cellar alone #i only hope her wit is as bright as her smile #zuko: I'm gonna kms
