Omg a post about that episode where Aang is not treated as the "bad guy" for shipping reasons and other nonsense, finally

Aang wasn't forcing his beliefs onto Katara, he was just drawing his pov from his beliefs and personal experiences

"Katara needed the whole trip to find her own way. Aang should had been understanding of the needs of Katara."

He did

Zuko and Sokka are both theater kids but we’re not ready to have that conversation

[sulkybender]

Helluuuu horse zukka headcanons?? :D

Sokka likes the fancy treats so Zuko saves his and noses then toward Sokka.

When they’re in the horse trailer, Sokka has to remind Zuko not to stick his head out as they drive through tunnels.

But Zuko still sticks his head out anyway.

Yes. Zuko’s anger used to be how he hid his helplessness, whether he recognized that or not.

really hate the whole idea of “oh but we still see zuko angry at the end of the show, therefore he never actually learned anything” because not ever being angry was never the point.

there are things in this world worth being angry at! having an abusive family and the fact that that abusive family is now attempting to commit genocide spring to mind!

the issue with zuko’s anger before was never that it existed at all, but that he was wearing it as a mask for hurt, fear, and self-loathing, directing it in the wrong places, and hurting both other people and himself in the process. (note: me saying that it was a mask is not me saying he wasn’t genuinely angry. human emotions are more complicated than that, and it feels very clear to me that, for a long time, zuko was overindulging his anger so that he didn’t have to think about how hurt he really was.)

zuko learning from the dragons how not to fuel his firebending (and, indeed, all his decisions) with anger does not mean he will never be angry again, and it shouldn’t mean that, either. it’s about learning to manage anger in a healthier way, learning to direct it in the right places, and not allowing himself to be overtaken by it in a way that contradicts his core values.
