#fire nation! katara

[geekordavatar]

Welcome to my blog!

Currently fixated on Azula, and several of her femslash ships (Azutara, Azuki, Tyzula), also on Azulaang

==================================

List of all the AU's I have in mind, but don't know if I'll fully commit with them. -The Azula Warriors: When the Kyoshi Warriors get captured by Azula, she brings them to Ba Sing Se, initially disiguised as "the princess of the fire nation and her friends", and then brainwashed to become the personal guard of Azula.

-The Bleeding Princess: Katara gets captured by the Fire Nation as a child, and gets raised by the royal family, she becomes friends with Azula. Posible Azutara :D

Sozin is the worst, i hate him with a burning passion

The fact that the Fire Nation used Sacred Air Nomad sites and temples as lures and traps to kill any surviving Air Nomads makes this whole topic even darker.

This is horrifying. All because they wanted to kill a kid.

And the ending?

Ugh.

Aang whole story is so tragic. A lot of people constantly shit on him for no reason but this kid carried this loneliness through into his adult years and bottled so much up.

Aang never really accepted the end of his culture.

This comic broke me.

Sokka may not be a misogynist, but the Netflix live action ATLA is:

There really is no cartoon/anime for female empowerment like the OG ATLA and LOK cartoons.

The creators of ATLA wrote the manifesto on how to create a masterful series on female empowerment and equality that is not cheesy or hocky.

In this show, women and girls are not a monolith but immensely diverse. There's no correct way to be a powerful, talented and bold woman or girl within the avatar universe.

You can be hyper-feminine like Ty Lee and Asami.

You can embody more traditionally masculine qualities like Korra and Toph.

Or you could just be a typical woman or girl falling more in between like Azula, Mai, or Suki.

You see the exact same thing for the male characters. There's no right way to be a man. There's many ways to be a man, and this idea flies in the face of patriarchy.

I say that the Netflix version is misogynist, because it's not enough to be a powerful woman. One must be allowed to be unapologetically, unabashedly and boldy powerful.

Which is what happens in the OG ATLA. Sokka's misogyny was actually a part of his character arc, because every time he was misogynist his misogyny was met with the answer that women and girls are phenomenal, that women and girls are living their lives and largely unconcerned with the opinions of men.

If you read the Kiyoshi novels, you learn that surprisingly enough, the least patriarchal amd misogynist nation in all of Avatar is the fire nation, and the misogynistic nation in all of Avatar is the northern water tribe.

The reason I say that the women in these shows are unabashedly powerful is because aside from Sokka and the master from the Northern Water tribe, no one ever questions why or how they are powerful. They expect it.

Zuko is Ozai's first born son, yet Azula is his pride. When Ozai imagines the future, he imagines it with Azula as the fire lord. He names her after his father. He trusts her to go find the avatar once he knows the avatar has returned.

Sokka and Katara effectively lost both of their parents, but Katara the youngest steps up as the mother and becomes the glue of the group. She's the one who becomes both an immensely powerful bender and healer.

Suki loves Sokka, but when we are introduced to her. She is unconcerned with him. Her and the other Kiyoshi warriors are the protectors of the village who go out into the world to do good into the world.

We see the revseral of all of these tenants in the Netflix show.

Ozai has hope for Zuko at the expense of Azula who he sees as a nuisance. She is no longer am obvious prodigy.

Katara is seen as a child who will not grow up by her brother who is now behaving as a father figure.

Suki is infatuated with Sokka and she follows him around Kiyoshi island when he arrives.

These woman are powerful but restrained and undermined in this power. Suki becomes concerned with the opinions of a man, and a random man at that.

What the OG ATLA taught to all women, girls, boys and men is that you never have to apologize for being powerful, intelligent, kind empathetic.

This is a very critical point that cuts to the heart of the OG ATLA that Netflix has missed.

The Bleeding Princess - Family Reunion pt.1

[Masterlist][Next] She was kneeling in front of the throne, her head down, and fist on the ground.

“Your brother and uncle have been away for 2 years already. Their reports only bring words of vagueness and shadows. Iroh has been a critic of the way things work ever since his humiliation in Ba Sing Se, and I fear that Prince Zuko may be badly influenced under his watch. Your mission will be simple, check on the status of the prince, and report back to me. Make sure that they aren’t a risk to our nation.” Ozai said.

She looks up, a smile decorating her face. “Of course father. I will make sure that Zuko is kept in line.”

“Your highness, we have sighted Prince Zuko’s vessel. Shall we approximate?” Captain Kayo said from the doorframe of her quarters, interrupting her memory.

The princess smiled, and got up from her desk. “You shall, captain. Make sure that my brother doesn’t see us for as long as possible.” She walks past him. “I want to make sure this family reunion gets to be a surprise.” She smirks as she walks out to the deck of her cruiser.

===================

“Again.” Iroh says, as he observes Zuko facing two fire nation soldiers. 

Zuko launches two fire blasts as he jumps over the soldiers, and tries to push them with a fire arc from his foot. When he lands, Iroh gets up and sighs. “No, power in firebending comes from the breath, not from the muscles. The breath becomes energy in the body, the energy extends past your limbs and becomes fire!” He says as he punches the air and fire extends from it. “Get it right this time.” He gets back to his stool.

“Enough.I’ve–” Zuko says before being interrupted by Lieutenant Jee running from the bridge.

“Prince Zuko.” He dips his head as he gets in front of him.

Zuko gets his hand behind his back. “Lieutenant. I hope your interruption is due to something important.”

He raises his head. “It is. We have sighted a–” He doesn’t get to finish his sentence before a ship significantly bigger than the one they were in blocks out the setting sun. 

Zuko glares at the ship. Iroh strokes his beard. “Now, who could that be?”

Zuko just keeps glaring at the ship as it comes to a stop, and a bridge gets lowered. He observes a darkened figure standing at the other deck, hands on their back. “I may have 2 ideas of who it could be.” The prince says.

As the figure walks through the bridge, they are finally able to see her features. “Hello uncle.” She dips her head at him, and then looks at Zuko. “Brother.”

He keeps glaring at her. “Katara.”

Princess Katara's smirk grows. “It’s been some long 2 years.”

Girls after being in the most OP fight of the show

[sokkastyles]

Nobleman on Zuko's Council: Firelord, someone blew up one of our factories!

Zuko, knowing full well it was Katara: Who could have done this?

Second Nobleman: Firelord, several of our war machines were crushed mysteriously by falling rocks overnight.

Zuko, deadpan, knowing it was Toph: Whatever shall we do?

Third Nobleman: And there was an uprising at one of the schools. Apparently one of the students, a young colonial wearing his school uniform belt as a headband, started a "rewrite the history books" campaign.

Zuko: Young people these days.

Fourth Nobleman: Also someone in a spirit mask is robbing the rich at swordpoint while reciting lines from theater.

Zuko: That one was me.
