The whole Day of Black Sun thing (Avatar The Last Airbender) is by far one of the saddest parts of the whole series to me.
Everything is just so devastating.
Sokka doubting himself, when he planned the whole thing?
Aang being so desperate to regain his honor he hasn't even stopped to think about how he was gonna defeat Ozai. Which sounds obvious at first, but we know it's going to be a major dilemma for him, and yet, there he was, trying to continue with the invasion at least 5 times in desperation to not be a failure anymore.
Hakoda almost dying right at the beginning? In front of Katara and Sokka, who just got him back for the second time? I sobbed.
Aang coming back with the news and that split second that they consider retreating and I just- now that I know how it ends? it's just so devastating seeing that moment and knowing they could've all lived and left without major trouble, if only they had turned around at the right time. If only Sokka and Aang weren't doubting themselves so much that they needed to keep going to prove themselves. If only they had had the time to stop and think about how and why they knew. If only-
Azula baiting Sokka with Suki's whereabouts? We can only imagine what she went through as a "personal" prisoner from Azula, and Sokka knows that. The guilt was more than enough to keep him there.
Zuko being able to finally admit that what his dad did was cruel, that it was unwarranted, that he learned everything from the World, and not from the pain. That Iroh was his true father figure. That he was proud to be leaving the palace and joining the Avatar to bring an era of peace. That he finally knew what he had to do, and he was going to do it with honor. My boy.
And then Ozai baits him with Ursa. Finally we find out what happened to his mom, finally he finds out, but at what cost? His father not only attacks him once again, but aims two lighting bolts directly at him - when one is more than enough to kill an unprepared person. And he knew it was coming.
Then the moment they all realize it's over, something had to happen and it didn't. It was a trap.
And they fell for it.
The moment they make the kids leave on Appa? Because the kids are the future, because they're their hope, because if someone has to carry the responsibility and the blame, is the adults? I sobbed as a child and I'm sobbing writing this right now.
Haru having to be separated from his dad, who's being taken by the fire nation again?
The fact that Katara and Sokka have to leave their dad, their injured dad, to be taken prisoner by the fire nation? The way Hakoda only closes his eyes when Sokka tells him it won't be long until they meet again, like he's praying his son is right. Praying they'll both survive long enough to meet with him again. Praying he will survive long enough in prison.
The way Aang just... sobs. Because what else is there to do? He failed. Again. These people risked their lives for him and he let them down, and now they're gonna take his place in the prisons so he can stay free - so maybe he can do his duty.

One of the saddest things about Tigris is that we see throughout the book that she is just full of so much genuine compassion and kindness for others. And she thinks Coriolanus is the same as her because that's how he presents himself, even in his home. She may see bits and pieces of his darker side, but she is seeing them through rose colored glasses and brushes them off as moments of weakness during bad situations and not the real him shining through.
And she will not realize until it's far too late, that while she has real empathy and love, Coriolanus does not. He is the opposite of her in every way with nothing but a dark hole of selfishness and hate inside that will consume all of Panem before Katniss brings his end.

tbh i already knew q started distance himself from dteam since he started joining Karmaland and streaming spanish contetns more and barely interact with any English cc friends he used to be so close with *cough* george *cough* and i already expected he kinda like abandon his english side and build more fame in spanish side but i never expect this bad like god he turn 180° himself into a completely different person that i can't barely support him and look at him like i used to.
oh yeah it was 100% clear that he abandoned his english community but also why abandon his friends in the same breath? is he not able to have friendships that don't align with his content?

I was rewatching the special episodes introducing/focusing on Takagi's best friend and mentor, Wataru Date and it's so sad about what happened to him and his girlfriend, Natalie.
Although they had very little screentime, it's clear how much they loved each other, only to be torn apart. Date died in a traffic accident and upon hearing the news of his death, Natalie committed suicide.
It's such a sad and tragic story, but I hope that at least they are at peace together in the afterlife.
