i tried watching the netflix a:tla live action and got so frustrated that i could only make it through 1 episode before i decided "fuck this" and started rewatching the cartoon from the first episode

anyway that led to me writing this in my notes app while half-asleep in bed last night

#i know everyone says taigen is zuko because “HONOUR!!!!” but personality-wise taigen is way more like sokka #loud. fragile ego. hard worker. insistent on coming up with a rational plan despite getting involved in shenanigans anyway.#in contrast mizu is much more like zuko. pouty. angry and emo. single-minded and OBSESSED (with vengeance rather than capturing the avatar)#plus zuko and sokka are very much alike in the same way mizu and taigen are alike #but obviously theyre not 1-to-1 parallels. mizu is less privileged than taigen. which is the opposite for zuko (prince) and sokka (peasant)#but STILL #and ringo is aang that much is very obvious #akemi as ty lee because manipulative and using her looks and femininity and playing up her naivety to get what she wants #also akemi and ty lee both want freedom and independence despite being born into prim&proper high class society #but unlike ty lee akemi is forced into marriage anyway. so it's kinda like ty lee being forcibly put into azula's position of power #but unlike azula who uses intimidation akemi still sticks to her guns (that being her feminine wiles)#fandom.rtf #shut up haydar
