Zuko’s confrontation with his dad is honestly one of the most powerful scenes in tv history. It shows so much character growth, learning and maturation on Zuko’s part, who had grown up angry and bitter, channeling all of his pain into destruction.
It really highlights how healing and protective a loving figure of guidance can be for a victim of child abuse, that the hurt and misplaced guilt can be unlearned and worked through, that being the next abuser isn’t the inevitable.
I’m just so emotional about this show and it’s been 10 years.
one of the best heartwarming scenes between Zuko and Iroh. The fact that Zuko is truly repentant and Iroh is unconditionally forgiving despite everything he’s endured. And of course, they can make you cry one moment and laugh in the next.
a six year old idea that i’m still apparently into: au where it was the water tribe who attacked, katara and sokka still found aang in the iceberg 100 years later, but then, kind of tried to kill him. luckily aang escaped in time to team up with a pair of plucky young fire nation siblings who ought to have inherited the throne, you know, if the water tribe hadn’t laid waste to their country. mostly, i just like drawing katara in military gear, and enjoy thinking about the political intrigue of two ruling branches of the water tribe.
Hence why Toph Beifong is my favorite badass character ever. Followed by Zuko of course. 😝
I love that Toph believes that she is one of the most badass people ever to exist in the Avatar universe, is not shy about saying so, and is absolutely correct.
Shit, just watch the way she curbstomps Korra without even trying.
The reason Toph Beifong has lived so long is that death is rightly afraid of trying to claim her ❤
