I only act like I know everything.

Sokka: thank you for agreeing to see me

Zuko: I didn’t, you just waked in here and started talking-

Sokka: I don’t have time for a history lesson

Post canon Toph who doesn’t want to go back to her shitty parents so she just decides to stay in the Fire Nation and bum off Zuko’s hospitality.

Zuko’s like no, yeah, I totally get it, and just makes her one of his advisors. At first it’s just so she has a good excuse to stay but after the first meeting Toph storms out shouting about how EVERYONE was lying why would you even need to lie about what kind of tea you want??

Zuko: I mean they’re politicians.....but also who, and when, and in what way

They make a subtle Morse code system so Toph can warn him when someone is lying to him without tipping anyone off that she can sense lies.

Zuko gets a reputation for somehow being both extremely socially inept and yet somehow disgustingly perceptive?? You can’t get ANYTHING by him???

#my lord what EXACTLY is ms Beifongs role in these meetings #a nervous nobleman asks after the third time she interrupts them with stupid commentary #zuko with perfect deadpan: she’s my scribe

You CAN’T leave that in the tags

So there’s a lot of “citizens of Ba Sing Se freak out when Lee the tea servant turns out to be the Firelord,” but consider the alternative. What if Zuko is just chilling at the Jasmine Dragon one day and sees an old regular and addresses them by their name but said regular does not remember him at all and is just like “wait what the fuck why does the Firelord know my name?” 

A citizen who frequents the tea shop rises in rank and ends up at the palace one day, and Zuko snaps his fingers in memory, points to them, and recites their order, and the citizen has a mild freak out wondering if the Fire Lord is psychic

07.06.2020 Summer study days at my new workspace.

can’t decide if i want to live in a tiny cottage in the french countryside doing nothing but baking with my wife all day, or if i want a life in solitude, locked away in a giant castle with a massive library with all the books my heart desires
