A collection of seyaryminamoto's ATLA takes

For those who are not aware, @seyaryminamoto is someone who has been in the Azula fandom a very long time and who has written many brilliant metas that have greatly influenced my understanding of Azula, Zuko, and other characters. Thus, I decided to put together a post with links to all of her metas that I could find:

On the flaws in Zuko's redemption arc.

More on flaws in Zuko's arc.

On the four most overrated characters in ATLA

Yet more on flaws in Zuko's arc and why fans overrate and misunderstand his character.

Why Zuko's arc didn't revolve around him learning compassion

On reoccurring sibling conflicts in ATLA and LoK and Su and Lin

On the lack of accountability in modern story-telling and Zuko

On certain patterns of evil younger siblings in LoK and ATLA

On the Smoke and Shadow and Azula

On Gene Yang not understanding Azula

More on Azula

More on flaws in Zuko's redemption

On Azula, Iroh, and Zuko being held to different standards

On why the Fire Nation accepting Zuko as ruler makes no sense

On sexism in the Fire Nation

On whether Zuko or Aang is more moral

On how the ATLA finale could have been changed to give Azula a better fate.

On why Azula's breakdown was rushed, writing wise.

On why Iroh is sexist.

Edits:

On whether Zuko understands the concept of "Duty"

On Lo and Li and Azula

On Zuko, the Fire Teens, and "The Beach"

On Zuko, the Southern Raiders, and Justice

On Zuko and his "life-changing field trips"

On Zuko and what his arc could have been

On the issues with Katara's and her "arc"

i cant get over the king charles portrait. they made that thing to age in his place. that painting hangs in the house of a too-friendly family you find in the post apocalyptic wasteland who inexplicably has a ready supply of fresh meat. if mario jumped into that painting he wouldn't find a charming platformer he would be flayed and hanged like a medieval criminal by an unseeable force in a droning red void. that painting is a color blindness test for people who work in IT but believe in the divine right of kings. that painting is going to weep the sequel to blood. after he dies charles is gonna crawl outta that thing like sadako.

Aang: Did you HAVE to stab him?

Azula: You weren't there. You didn't hear what he said to me.

Aang: Fine. What did he say to you?

Azula: “Oh yeah? What are you gonna do, stab me?”

Aang:

Aang, turning to Zuko on the ground: Really?

Zuko, wincing: I see now where I went wrong.

The discovery represents a potential new way to recruit the immune system to fight treatment-resistant cancers using an iteration of mRNA technology and lipid nanoparticles, similar to COVID-19 vaccines, but with two key differences: use of a patient’s own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine, and a newly engineered complex delivery mechanism within the vaccine.

Within 48 hours, the four human study participants showed remarkable results: their immune systems went into turbo cancer-destroying mode. And without surgery, radiation, or dangerous chemotherapy.

Folks, we may have a cure for cancer within your lifetime.

You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.

Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…

…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.

I love characters who are kind but not necessarily nice and I am fed every episode by Suvi. Demanding the little girl's scarf so that she can't refuse to give it, using that coldness to find a loophole, saying she doesn't want it anymore so it's not a gift to return it to her... It's so, so good. I love magic law loopholes and so in combination, I'm thriving.

Reposting this because I need to materialize it somewhere.

Granny Weatherwax vs Yoda?

Granny Weatherwax would absolutely devastate Yoda and we would all be blessed to see it.

I’ve been binging Wolf 359 this week and it just reaffirms my favorite media genre being “the horrors are neverending but we stay silly” a la the talent show episode and the board game episode
