#you’re in your physical prime and your emotional nadir

[comradekatara]

what’s great about zuko is that he makes parkouring across rooftops while holding two giant swords look effortless, but being reasonably polite to an acquaintance look like the most difficult thing in the entire world. he can survive being burned, frozen, blown up, starved, thrown off a roof, and struck by lightning, but making normal small talk for two minutes or treating anyone who is kind to him with anything other than outright hostility is simply too painful.

#zuko #I think that’s just what being 16 is like #you’re in your physical prime and your emotional nadir #at least that’s what I hear #that was not my reality at 16 but yknow #im making a generalization here #then again even at 16 most boys I knew were less of an asshole than zuko sjdndkdndjff #I get it tho. he has a lot of rage
