we'll meet again my dear on doomsday
pigs will be flying through the sky
upon the twelfth of never
at a quarter past forever
stricken with the rapture
we will watch the world's demise

Currently thinking about boat boys and how poetic their death was. Joel and Etho, burned by the very fire that gave them life.
“the ship burns, everything burns” and they burned too
Joel and Etho got on like a house on fire and that’s both in the metaphorical and literal sense. Etho was the gasoline and Joel was the match. Their moves weren’t normally calculated, Joel’s rage burns hot and it always has. He’s always loved to burn things and almost always ended up burning with them.
Etho didn’t necessarily know what he was getting into but he didn’t make moves to stop it. He fueled Joel’s fire and let it feed his own. Too much of it and he burned up, they both did, literally. Their actions are what led to their death. Too much rage and it’ll find a way to burn you somehow.
Anyway, i just think they’re tragic and poetic and everything.

atla crack au where zuko and azula burn the palace down as kids (like 12 and 10, respectively, pre-banishment but post-grandpacide), run away to avoid consequences, and somehow end up "discreetly" living in the abandoned fire nation ship in the south pole ("discreetly" is a word which here means "all the adults know they're there bc they have massive arguments every other day, and when hakoda's nearby he "drops" things that might be useful")
ozai ends up blaming the palace fire on iroh and banishes him. he must capture the children to regain his honor (translator's note: this is adult speak for "get their asses back here so i can ground them for the rest of their lives")
