Prompt Event

All you felt was pain, deep inside your chest. Watching your boyfriend take sides against the avatar once again was brutal. What made it even worse was Iroh was to be imprisoned, you would hold the same fate if you were captured.

You stood next to Katara and Aang, Azula and Zuko on the opposite side of the cave. Azula held the same malicious grin on her face, watching the three of you with smugness.

"My, my Y/n. You seem so down, how sad." She mocks you with a slight chuckle. Zuko gives her a glare, his eyes wandering back to you. They are full of guilt, pleading for forgiveness from you. Practically begging you to understand why he did it, to come with him.

"Leave Y/n alone, Azula." Zuko grunts, getting in a fighting stance with his sister. Azula clicks her tongue and rolls her eyes at her brother.

"They're the enemy now, Zuzu. Can't protect them forever." Azula laughs, blue fire erupting from her fists.

The blue flurries of fire woosh past you fastly. Katara quickly blocks the fire with her water. Using her octopus arms she slashes and whips at Azula, both going back and forth. The ground beneath the five of you shakes and cracks.

Aang and Zuko are going at it hand to hand. You watch out of the corner of your eye as Zuko takes a hit by Aangs wind, sending him flying back into one of the crystal pillars. Your heart stops, skipping a beat as Zuko groans.

You curse under your breath and run towards him, Aang is calling your name frantically. You slid against the rock surface and get the few rocks that landed on Zuko off. He lets out a huff of air, the weight of the rock off of his chest allowing him to breath.

He's quick to sit up, using his hands, he does a walk over away from you. Your heart felt like it was stabbed, watching as he gets in a protective stance. He knows you'd never hurt him on purpose, and he'd never hurt you.

"Why are you doing this, Zuko? Why are you so desperate to gain your honor back?" Your voice is meek, tears gathering at your waterline, blurring his figure.

"You know why I have to, Y/n. This is my chance to prove to my father I am worthy."

Zukos heart physically aches, seeing your tears making him question everything. He never wanted to hurt you, never wanted to put strain on your relationship. You're his everything, you've been with him since the beginning along with Iroh. Loving him even when he didn't love himself.

"But Zuko, when you get home and see your father, will he even except you? What if he hurts you again, or what if he tries to kill you?" You plead, knowing this isn't him. He's just confused and fighting himself.

Zuko stays quiet, thinking over your words carefully. You have a point. His father could easily do all of those things, Azula to. Does he really want to go through with this? Having Uncle imprisoned, possibly you too?

He closes his eyes tightly, fists clenched at his side. He lets out a long breath, salty tears slide down his cheeks as he looks back up at you again.

"He won't. I'm sorry Y/n. You can't change my mind. I'm going home." He lifts his fists back into a defensive stance, hands trembling.

"Please...Please forgive me."

You let out a strangled sob at his words, heart clenching and shattering. Zuko grits his teeth, holding back his own cries.

"Get out of here, before Azula realizes I haven't killed you." Without realizing it, Zuko was beside you. Taking you into his arms, he holds you as close as he can. His lips pressing multiple kisses to your head. His nose buried in your hair, taking in your shampoo scent one last time.

"Does this mean you don't love me anymore? Since you're leaving?" You asked, face hidden in his neck, tears hitting his skin like rain. Zuko squeezes you softly, kissing the apples of your cheeks.

"That not what I meant, Y/n. And you know it." He pulls away from you, taking a few steps back to create distance.

Water then wraps around his waist sending him flying. You scream his name as Katara takes you in her arms. You sob holding onto Katara as she sees you down.

"It'll be alright, Y/n. I promise." She hugs you tightly, the sound of wind echos in the cave as Aang enters the avatar state. Suddenly lighting cracks, blue electricity shoots towards Aang. Shooting into his back like a spear.

"AANG!" You and Katara race towards him, watching as he falls, his body is lifeless. Katara catches him, tears falling from her eyes. You use your bending to keep the three of you protected as Katara holds Aang and bends up the waterfall.

Zuko watches as the love of his life disappears. He lets out a sob, his fist pounding the ground.

He's sorry. So, so sorry. He never wanted to hurt you, cause you this much pain. Yet he has, and he might never, ever be able to fix it.

He hopes you're safe, and he'll come and find you when the time is right before it's to late.

What moment in ATLA made you ship Toko, and what do you like the most about the ship?

Hi, thanks for the ask! Sorry for the late reply.

I think the first moment that obviously made me think: yes, these characters will/should mean a lot to each other is the meeting of Iroh and Toph in the second season. Narratively, symbolically and dramaturgically, this is really a very interesting and important moment: Iroh did not communicate so closely and personally with any other member of gaang (more precisely, he did not communicate with Sokka and Katara at all, he talked with Aang in the "The Crossroads of Destiny", but it was a faster, less personal conversation dedicated to feelings Aanga for Katara). Iroh has always been narratively inextricably linked with Zuko, and it is interesting that Toph's first acquaintance with Zuko takes place, in fact, through Iroh. In addition, Iroh talks to Toph about Zuko, and directly compares them, says how much they are similar.

I love a lot about them, but one of my favorite things is that their personalities have something in common, something that brings them closer, but at the same time each of them has something that the other lacks. 

They are both very independent, but their need to fight and always achieve everything on their own is due to the fact that their parents did not love them and it is important for them to prove themselves worthy. The parents denied and did not understand their identity and wanted to see them not as they really were. Zuko's father hated his vulnerable, compassionate side in him, and Toph's parents denied her independence and, in fact, her entire personality. Their parents were ashamed of them in front of others, which instilled in them a deep sense of shame. This is a very specific kind of trauma, and no one else in the canon is able to understand them in this regard better than they understand each other. However, Toph is in contact with his emotions and knows how to trust and open up, while Zuko really does not understand even his own emotions well and is not able to correctly understand the emotions of others. Zuko needs someone who will be uncompromisingly honest with him, and Toph needs someone who will be on equal terms with her.

Long time no posting, huh?

Wróciłam jakiś czas temu do ATLA i próbuję pisać FF. A to oznacza, że muszę spróbować sobie przypomnieć co jest jak przetłumaczone. To był wystarczający ból w One Piece, ale tutaj...

Przepraszam bardzo, ale kto był tak mądry żeby przetłumaczyć "bending" na "magię"? Tak, bending to technicznie magia w świecie Avatara, ale nigdy nie jest nazywane w ten sposób. Nie licząc tego czasu, kiedy Sokka próbuje obrażać Katarę, zwłaszcza w pierwszym odcinku.

Z tego co rozumiem, to przynajmniej w Chińskiej kulturze magia oznacza coś chaotycznego i niewyjaśnionego, a nie zestaw form, których musisz się nauczyć i możesz sklasyfikować.

Nazywanie "bending"'u magią, a Katarę, Aanga, Toph i resztę "magami" jest dla mnie momentami wręcz bolesne.

Jeszcze raz, dlaczego tłumacze nam to robią?
