Friendly reminder to check you’re not holding tension in your body. Let your shoulders drop, unclench your hands and jaw. Take a deep breath. Much better.

I mostly agree with the caveat an the author should understand when something a character does is problematic and deliberately writes it that way. There’s nothing wrong with writing about a raging dumpster fire of a character, there’s nothing wrong even with allowing that character to win and continue on his or her burning way, but you have to be fully self-aware what exactly you are writing about. When an author lacks self-awareness and sees problematic behaviour as cute or romantic we get abominations like 50 Shades of Grey.

I needed to put these in bold because, as a writer with more than a couple of raging dumpster fires in her collection, just saying YES THIS didn’t feel like enough.

the inarguably best three avatar moments in no particular order

  • that’s rough buddy
  • no firelord ozai YOU’RE not wearing any pants
  • that part where they’re all completely baffled by there being just a regular bear

Consider:

  • Maybe it’s friendly
  • Can your Science explain why it rains
  • The Boulder feels conflicted
  • HOW can you SAY that
  • We have defeated you for all time! You will never rise from the ashes of your shame and humiliation!
  • Hello, Zuko here

ALSO:

  • It’s Sparky Sparky Boom Man!
  • I’m Wang Fire. And this is my wife, Sapphire… Fire
  • And this is Katara, my flying sister
  • ZUKO, I WANT YOU TO DANCE WITH ME
  • when Aang grabbed Ozai by his stupid goat beard right before kicking his ass
  • Sokka: I can’t see ANYTHING! Toph: Oh no, what a nightmare! Sokka: Sorry.

How have you all forgotten “I am not Toph! I am M E L O N L O R D”

Please also consider:

- SECRET TUNNEL

- “You know my favorite thing about Appa? His sense of humor.”

- The one where Sokka is stuck in a hole the entire episode

- “I’m taking my vacation AT THE LIBRARY!!”

BUT ALSO:

-“THE MOON SPIRIT IS A GENTLE, LOVING LADY. SHE RULES THE SKY WITH COMPASSION AND…LUNAR GOODNESS”

-that one epic fight of Katara vs centuries of years of traditional misogyny

-“wHAT ARE YOU DOING??” “saving the jerk who dumped me.”

-THE ENTIRE PARODY PLAY OF THE CREATORS LITERALLY ROASTING THEMSELVES AND THEIR STORYLINE

-that one fight between Sokka and Master Piando where he liTERALLY WHIPS OUT ALL THESE GYMNASTIC PARKOUR MOVES THAT NO ONE KNEW HE HAD?? AND LOOKS BADASS EVEN THOUGH HES LOSING?

-“aPA ATE MOMO”

-“i’M COMIN FOR U BUDDY”

Basically AtLA is gold

and ALSO DON’T FORGET

- “Well that is a big relief”

- “My friends need to suck on those frogs!”

- “take a bite out of the silver sandwich”/”no, what you were saying made no sense at all”

- “it’s upside down, isn’t it”

“ You’re the only other person who can defeat the fatherlord.” “ You mean the firelord?” “ That’s what I said.”

” Hey it’s the captain speaking. Everyone please go to the loading dock for hot cakes and sweet bread. We have a very special birthday to celebrate.”  “I can’t believe the captain remembered my birthday. He really does care.“ 

-also the moment when Zuko was imitating Iroh before he tries to join the clan.

like NOT to be dramatic but Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008) just may be the best show of all time
