The thing I hate the most about "the Promise" having Aang promote antimiscegenation is that when Katara points out that that would mean they would have to be apart, she doesn't even talk about her own feelings on the subject. She acts like this is a sacrifice she is willing to make if Aang declares it wrong for people of other nations to be together.
Like, what happened to the Katara who was enamored with the forbidden love story of Oma and Shu? What happened to the Katara who cared about justice, not just for herself but for others? Why does Katara seem to have no opinions about her relationship with Aang one way or the other? Why does Aang get to make all of the decisions in the relationship, not only about when it starts but when it ends, while Katara is just a passive observer? Why does Katara want to be with someone who she thinks might break up with her because she's from another nation? The fact that she even thinks Aang might consider this (and would let him do it) is not a great sign.

You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon

How would you know she is a ghost? Many of the living are vague and adrift too, it’s not a failing unique to the departed.

"They're the color of the sky, right?"
"Yeah, but not scary at all!"
"I'll be here."
"I'll see you. I promise."
Inspired by the FF7 Rebirth art showcasing Zack and Aerith together and his promise to show her the real sky. 🥹

Do you have any recommendations for other writers? I love your dark writing but I’d like to hear your other favorites too
I love that you're asking me this but I hate this question because I always end up forgetting SOMEONE and then kicking myself in the ass later. - Also sorry for taking so long to answer this lol.
I'm going to write out this list but I need my friends to know that if I didn't add you, it's not because you're not near and dear to my heart, it's because I'm an idiot and my brain doesn't work right sometimes. But yeah, this is basically a list of my friends lol and other writers haha.
Not all of these writers write dark content, but I still recommend them highly.
Tumblr media
These are writers who write for the Oscar Isaac fandom in general, or who USED to write for it.

Thinking about how much it annoys me that "the Promise" treats Zuko talking to Ozai and not telling anyone as "keeping secrets" and "is Zuko turning evil again?" And it suddenly occurred to me that this is the same problem I have when people in the fandom blame Zuko for not telling the gaang about Ozai's genocide plan earlier. Aside from the gaang also not telling Zuko that they were going to fight Ozai after the comet, causing a mutual misunderstanding, Zuko tells the gaang why he didn't tell them earlier. He tells them that he was ashamed. He sat in that meeting and couldn't say anything and was ashamed of his own helplessness because that's what abuse is. And like. The same thing is happening when Zuko goes to talk to Ozai in the comics because he's desperate for someone to talk to and ends up humiliated and gaslit because even negative attention from the abusive parent is better than nothing. Sorry an abuse victim didn't divulge every second of their abuse to you. They were ashamed and didn't know how to tell you that.

Do you think the Smoke and Shadow comic foreshadows Zuko and Mai as future rulers of the Fire Nation?  It showcases their strategy skills along with improving their communication as they strive to find a solution to save the children of the fire nation capital. Even though they are broken up, they work well together and shows their compatibility as rulers.  Thoughts? 
omg my first anon, hello and thank you for asking me this question !!
I talk a little bit about this in my video essay, actually. while I hate the comics and I think it’s stupid that they broke up, it does give them a chance to grow as people and into their positions in the world. the writer confirmed that they got back together 3 years later, meaning they’re young adults when they reunite, and they would have grown from their teenage selves.
in The Promise (2012) we already see their communication improving (well, Mai’s anyway) when she says that Zuko can come to her with any issues he has and he should be able to talk to her about his feelings because she’s his girlfriend. this already shows that he has someone he can rely on who is willing to listen to him, someone he’s known for a long time.
Tumblr media
in Smoke and Shadow (2015), we see this communication improving. one thing that gene luen yang got right is that Zuko would absolutely be pinning over Mai, given how much that loser (affectionate) was obsessed with her.
although she is with Kei Lo at the time, Zuko expresses how much he misses her and that he wants her back, as well as acknowledging how happy she looks. he does this instead of repressing his feelings, and Mai talks about her point of view of the situation, being open and honest (despite it not being what Zuko wants to hear).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it is not only their communication improving that shows the potential they have at running a nation together, but also who they’re going after in Smoke and Shadow (2015). one criticism that people give Mai is that she doesn’t care about people, and in turn, the Fire Nation citizens. however, in this comic we see her and Zuko working together to take down a terrorist organisation. while part of it is to protect Zuko, she calls her own dad (who is leading The New Ozai Society) “insane” for his political beliefs.
Tumblr media
not only that, but she sends him to prison in the end and says that he deserves to go.
Tumblr media
this is after she helped free her little brother, Zuko’s little sister and gaggle of other Fire Nation toddlers (with Zuko) !!
Tumblr media
so, yeah. while I hate the comics, I think they do show some potential of Zuko and Mai working well together as rulers of a nation (even though “Fire Lady” doesn’t seem like an active role in politics, but we can pretend or hope that changes with Mai).
