I’ve read “The North and the South” and it’s cool, but not great enough for the last Avatar comics (or, maybe it’s not last, and I just don’t know about the next?). It’s mostly about Sokka, Katara, their tribe and their father. One more time environment problem (like in “The Rift”, and connection with that story was probably the reason to bring Toph back?), and the new thing was water siblings and their father dealing with the loss of the mother. (SPOILERS!) Hakoda has a girlfriend now. Sorry. And they also get Zuko back, because of southern water tribe coming into the world of politics.

I’ve read “Smoke and shadow” and it’s really cool! It’s mostly about Zuko and his family and (Mai and her family). Firstly: I just can’t stand Zuko being sweet. And he is very sweet here. Mostly with his little sister and it’s double sweet! Honey-sweet! And we have Zuko-Mai relationship development. (SPOILERS!) Mai has a new boyfriend, well, at first, she just pretends to be attracted to him and uses him, but then… She really falls in love, but… In the end, they split up and there is an allusion to her coming back to Zuko. And I am very glad about that. And the plot is also very good: there is a pinch of politics, a pinch of drama and as always good fights. And Azula with her strange ideas about how to be the Fire Lord the right way. So, there is only one Avatar comics book left.

I’ve read “The Rift” and it was worse than “The Search” – it has two ideas about ecology and “bad capitalist”. We have some more spirit stuff and a person, who finds Toph more exciting person than Avatar and cool interaction with Toph’s metal bender students. Oh, and reunion of Toph and her father.  

I’ve read “The Search” and liked it very much. It’s a story about Zuko looking for his mother (SPOILERS!) - You remember that cliffhanger at the end of the series? So, here we see the development of this. Here are two parallel stories: about the search and about Ursa’s youth and her early life as a wife of the Fire Lord. Both of them are interesting and of course, they are connected. In the search story, Azula is back, because Zuko wants her to help him in the quest, of course, she tries to run away or fight Zuko. And he tries to be a good brother, to be nice to her. Once, when he covers her during the cold night and finds a letter from his mother to her ex-boyfriend. It says that Zuko is their son. (actually (real SPOILERS!) it’s not true). Then Avatar team, Zuko and Azula find Ursa’s home village and a family of actors. And Zuko is very sweet in that scenes.   Then we have a bunch of spirit stuff connected with faces (Remember that spirit from the end of the “Water” book? Like him, but here we have the Main Spirit of Faces.) and find out that actress from the village is actually Ursa. But she remembers nothing, and then Zuko comes back and Azula chases him. This woman, who doesn’t remember Azula, Zuko or anything felt sorry for Azula, who tries to kill her right now! But then she got her face and memories back and everybody is happy (well, except Azula).

This post wasn’t supposed to be so long, but it just happened… Sorry.

au where jet doesn’t find out that zuko and iroh are fire nation and when he runs into the gaang he goes ‘oh by the way this is my new friend lee. we met on the ferry ride over here!’ and the gaang and zuko just like awkwardly stare at each other for a really long time

I love it

*in everyone’s minds*

Zuko: Maybe if I just keep up my persona, they’ll believe I’m someone else… Okay, that’s stupid, but what choice do I have?

Aang: …Maybe if we just pretend we’ve never met before he’ll stay nice and we can all keep the peace.

Katara: If he lifts one hand against us, I will freeze them both.

Sokka: Please be a coincidence. Please be a coincidence. Please be a coincidence. Please be a coinci-

Toph: Why is he so scared? Is he shy? Why is Katara so upset? Why is Aang freaking out? Why is Sokka so irritated? And now Jet’s freaking out.

Jet: Do- do they not like him? Do they not like him because he’s my friend? Do they still hate me? Do they hate him because of me? Lee looks like he’s about to pass out? Is he okay?

This needs to be a fic

ACTUALLY SCREAMING

Toph to Iroh: oh hey, you’re that really old guy who gave me tea once

Everyone else: ????

im gonna spend the rest of my life chasing that high I got when I was nine and watched Zuko and Azula’s Final Agni Kai for the first time aren’t I

the music. the cinematography. the raw, unbridled power of their bending. The horrible, beautiful contrast of red and blue flame consuming the frame. zuko’s growth as both a character and a bender compared to Azula’s tragic deterioration. the animation. the music. zuko’s foot slowly sliding towards Azula’s flame but then stabilizes as he grounds himself. his bending clearly drawing from other elemental techniques outside of fire, lending him an upper hand. “no lightning today? what’s the matter? afraid I’ll redirect it?” “oh I’ll show you lightning!” the lightning. THE LIGHTNING. the slow slide of Zuko’s eyes, his face of horror, as he realizes what’s happening. his choice to sacrifice himself to save Katara. the reflection in Katara’s eyes as he’s being struck. the music oh my god the music. Katara running for her life as Azula attacks her, laughing, laughing, victorious, broken. zuko reaching out to katara as he lays dying. “there you are peasant”. the swell of the music, the uncertainty, azula readying her final strike as katara reaches- then a prison of water and ice. the frame of the two girls, frozen in time, azula’s hand mere inches from Katara’s face. katara finally, finally, breathing out, moving, locking azula to the grate, winning a battle against one of the greatest fire benders in the world on the day of sozin’s comet  through sheer ingenuity. healing zuko, a star burst scar centered on his chest. the tears of relief. “thank you katara” “I think I’m the one who should be thanking you.” the narrative significance where every season prior Zuko and Katara spent the finale as opponents, battling one another, to the development of them fighting on the same side and saving one another. azula breaking under the weight, no carefully calculated shield, no dignity, but wailing like a child, lost, alone, who just wants her mother. a victory that doesn’t feel like a victory but a tragedy.
