it's not even cringe; it's just personal and unpolished and you've been taught to flinch away from vulnerability which doesn't mock itself

some ppl on here honestly need a refresher on the us govt's current and historical imperialist bomb apologia. these positions have included, in various combinations and permutations:
-it was a tragedy, but a necessary and gravely chosen one
-it was a few scientists gone rogue, disobeying the noble orders of the us govt
-it was the us govt gone rogue, deviating from the noble aims of the good scientists
-it ended the war
-japan brought it upon their own civilians by being a belligerent and warlike nation
-the scientists felt really bad about it
-the scientists later got unfairly scapegoated for having been leftists (yes this is a real thing people still say about physicists who explicitly deliberately worked for the us govt)
-it was still a scientific achievement, though the knowledge gained was used immorally
-it was a horrible mistake and everyone learned an important lesson
-they underestimated how many japanese would be murdered, disabled, or injured, and wouldn't have dropped bombs if they'd known
-it saved lives 'in the long run'
if you are repeating any of these things in regards to a christopher nolan film based on a revisionist history explicitly aimed to 'redeem' j robert oppenheimer's legacy, then congrats! you are not immune to propaganda!

It's common knowledge that Zuko and Aang, throughout the duration of ATLA, are a mirror of one another; a reflection of each other - not necessarily opposites but parallels.
So whilst I was analyzing the finale of the show, I noticed a really interesting parallel between our two protagonists:
Zuko was close to dying in his final confrontation with Azula and what pulled him back up, what saved him from dying was water. More necessarily Katara's healing abilities - but nonetheless, his opposing element saved his life.
Tumblr media
On the other hand, Aang throughout his harrowing fight against Ozai utilizes Earthbending time and time again to save himself, techniques that we've come to associate with Toph (rock armor and seismic sense). And to access the Avatar State, that had since been blocked, Earth had been the ultimate catalyst to unlocking his Seventh Chakra.
And if we take into consideration what Guru Pathik told Aang - to unlock the Seventh Chakra he would have to let go of Katara. In a sense, this could have been a visual representation of how Aang lets go of his love for Katara, and how Toph (Earth) could take up that role.
Earth, his opposing Element, saves his life.

It's also interesting that our protagonists' conclusions and destinies are integrally tied to the aforementioned girls. Destiny and Fate are two major themes in ATLA, alonside the moral lesson shared to us by Uncle Iroh about the unity of the four elements and how each element can learn and grow from the other.
Zuko's destiny to bring honor to Fire Nation whilst also challenging his conflicting natures (Sozin vs. Roku; Ozai/Azula vs. Iroh) would have never come into fruition had it not been for Katara. Katara was the first person (other than his Uncle) to show him genuine compassion and humanity, she was the first person to glimpse into his true, kind and gentle nature. Additionally, had she not fought alongside Zuko to defeat Azula and save his life, he would have never been able to step up to the Throne and fulfill his destiny. Thus Katara is linked and bound to Zuko's destiny.
Aang's destiny was to restore peace to the world and end The One Hundred Year War. The Aang we meet during Book One - is timid and soft, a strong bender and with limitless potential, but he lacked the confidence, the back-bone, the grounding to step-up to his duties as the Avatar and defeat Ozai. Katara coddled him and never challenged him to look beyond himself. It's only after meeting Toph does Aang begin to confront his opponents with a different viewpoint, he gains a certain matureness in himself and suddenly we see him step up into his role and responsibilities. Toph's Earthbending not only saves him from death but it also gave him the strength to face his destiny. Thus, Toph is linked and bound to Aang's destiny.
It would have tied a lot of unexplored themes as well as provide a more satisfying conclusion (Aang entering the Avatar State because he followed through with Guru Pathik's lessons instead of pointy rock triggers it) and it would have been cohesive with the narrative thematic of ATLA.
I'm still astonished at how badly Bryke fumbled the bag with their romantic sub-plots. 🗿

Hello more gay poetry
Through my entire life
I have been a bulletproof vest
I have been a duvet
I have been an elastic band
Protecting, comforting keeping together
And for once
I want another to that for me
I want to be held as I cry
I need someone to save me
Who I didn’t save first

Katara: “I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.” I would.
Zuko: “I’m not gonna sink to their level.” I will, coward.
Toph: “I’m the bigger person.” I’m not even five feet tall. Give me the knife, bitch.

Why is it
that every time
You say you love me
It feels like an apology?
Should I lie in the street
Staring up at the stars
Before you say
You love me
Or should I wait
Until a truck hits me
And I’m rushed to A&E
You get out of your truck
And run through the doors
Just to hold me

anytime Sirius or Regulus starts a story by saying "when I was a child.." James has to brace himself for whatever he's about to hear
