jet/freedom fighters playlist pt. 2 because i remembered a bunch of songs i missed in the first one ~
Pioneer by The Band Perry
Send the dark, but it won't break me
You can try, but you can't change me
Take my life, they will replace me
I won't hush, no, you can't make me
I won't hush, no, we will sing
Wanderer's Lullaby by Adriana Figueroa
Wandering child of the earth
Do you know just how much you're worth?
You have walked this path since your birth
You were destined for more
+
You are right where you need to be
Poised to inspire and to succeed
You'll look back and you'll realize one day
Shake It Out by Florence + The Machine
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I'd like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
+
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight, I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
+
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause lookin' for Heaven, found the devil in me
Lullabies by CHVRCHES
I've lost my appetite
Drinking the pesticide
Thinking that it's not a suicide if we act polite
+
I'm lying on the floor
What are we waiting for?
I'm getting tired of trying so hard to be adored
Disenchanted by My Chemical Romance
It was a lie when they smiled and said, "You won't feel a thing"
And as we ran from the cops, we laughed so hard, it would sting
+
I spent my high school career spit on and shoved to agree
So I could watch all my heroes sell a car on TV
Bring out the old guillotine, we'll show 'em what we all mean
they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.
their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

Unwell by Matchbox-Twenty
All day
Staring at the ceiling makin'
Friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices tellin' me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for somethin'
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
And I don't know why
River By Leon Bridges
Been travelling these wide roads
For so long
My heart's been far from you
Ten thousand miles gone
Oh, I wanna come near and give
Every part of me
But there's blood on my hands
And my lips are unclean
In my darkness I remember
Momma's words reoccur to me
A Change is Gonna' Come by Sam Cooke
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river, I've been running
Ever since
It's been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon' come
Oh yes, it will
It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
'Cause I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
Youth by Daughter
We are the reckless
We are the wild youth
Chasing visions of our futures
One day we'll reveal the truth
That one will die before he gets there
And if you're still breathing you're the lucky one
Cause most of us, our feelings
They are dead, and they are gone
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting pictures from the flood
That wrecked our home
It was a flood, a reckless flood
And you caused it
Away From the Mire by Billy Strings
Let go of the pain and hold onto the rhythm
It's consciously held back in you
You're drowning a sorrow that's long been at rest
The past is a hell, it can creep up inside you
So let me remind you of this
It's the reason your troubles exist
The Way that You Were by Sleep Token
Come on, tear off the bandage
The way that you were
With pain as your language
The way that you were
Will you show me the damage?
The way that you were, no
Well, how much did they hurt you?
(You will never be the same)
The way that you were
Shadow Boxing by Parkway Drive
You don't know me, you cannot hold me
You should have guessed that you can't control me
I raise my soul like a private army and I steel myself for war
Because I leaned real young, when you walk through hell
The devil can't buy what you won't sell
So I took my fear, reshaped and aimed
Because when the night caves in

Sometimes writing Jet is fun because... take him away from his obsessive need to serve what he believes is justice, you get:
Introspective Jet:
Jet unsheathed his hookswords, given to him by his parents. At the time, the swords felt unwieldy and heavy in his hands. These days it felt unnatural not to hold the familiar, leather straps, see the silver glint and hear the sharp blade cut through another soldier's pride. "I was so small," he whispered to himself, "and I thought I was so big."
And
(an outsider's perspective on him)
Leader of the Freedom Fighters, brother in arms, surrogate big brother Jet:
"Breathe, kid," he said to the reluctant newcomer. Softly, his tone devoid of his usual sharpness, "We're moving slow. No one's catching us tonight, and no one's chasing you." As he placed a hand on their shoulder, he offered a small, encouraging smile. "Just get your head down, and we'll handle the rest when you're ready." Getting up from his crouching position, he ordered a 'welcoming meal' for the kid. They're so high up, even the sturdier parts of the wooden catwalk makes the newcomer's legs feel shaky. The forest below seemed to churn nearly as much as their stomach did. The leader boy steadied the newcomer, asking, "How do you feel about roast boar, Twigs?" The newcomer tilted their head, momentarily distracted from gawking at the elaborate zipline system, "Twigs?" To their side, the headband wearing girl muttered something flatly under her breath, the rasp in her voice standing out in the crowd of young boys. "Better than the one he gave me," She plucked a twig from their hair. "Ah, but you're just as fierce as the name, Bee. Except for when you never challenged me when it came to giving it to you," the charismatic leader grinned over his shoulder. He dropped the plant stem from his mouth, only to pick a fresher one from the nearest branch, as if it's a routinely ritual. It all seemed so mundane. Far from the cold, busy streets they'd been navigating. So far, in fact, it seemed warm, like the sun filtering through the leaves as they walked. Maybe they had judged this boy and his crew too harshly, too soon. Or rather... this was a trap. And their hospitality was a ruse. The leader is armed, but who else? How does one even get down from these trees? Jump? No, it's too high up for that... That name again, Twigs, cut through their thoughts, dissolving the tension in their chest like snow melting at the sunrise's arrival. He was standing still, hand on his hip, a few feet ahead. "Come on, I'll show you around."
Yes, I write. Sort of. Yes, I'm gatekeeping it.
𓂃✍︎Random notes: Two headcanons of mine were integrated here. The first is that Jet's signature hookswords were once his parents's. The other is about the Freedom Fighters naming habits, here and here.
I chose wild boar specifically because in Jet's primiere episode, [S1EP10 Jet], a pig-like dish is seen on the table during his dinner speech. And because its a recipe in the official avatar cookbook.
Tried to balance his brotherly side with his usual, sort of laid-back charisma.
Tried my best to emulate the pacing and feel of ATLA's dialogue and dynamics.
The hand on his hip at the end of the second snippet is both a direct showcase of his canonical posture habits (slouching, crossed arms, one hand on hip, leaning on objects, part closed off and part open body language). And a subtle nod to his original sketch, where he is drawn with a hand on his hip. A sort at "first look" at the character. And that's how the newcomer, Twigs, sees him as a first impression.
"Twigs" is indeed an OC of mine, their gender has not been decided yet but I'd rather a fixed gender as using they/them with the intent to write group dynamics (Freedom Fighters) will start to feel clunky and confusing. Twigs started off a no-name vessel, purely to experiment with writing Jet. I've since built more of a character out of them, and want to make them a fully fleshed out character eventually.
If enough people seem to like this, I might share more snippets but nothing in full, due to insecurities.

Orange Trees by Rose Betts
Dead flowers fall, from the orange trees
There’s smoke in the air dust on the leaves
Put on your shoes, in the dead of night
And, follow the moon and I will find you
Wait for me, by the orange trees
Oh wait for me, by the orange trees
Kingdom Come by The Civil Wars
Run, run, run away
Buy yourself another day
A cold wind's whispering secrets in your ear
So low only you can hear
and
Tall trees bend and lean, pointing where to go
Where you will still be all alone
Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back by My Chemical Romance
They say we're never leaving this place alive
But if we sing these words, we'll never die
Get off the ledge and drop the knife
Not a victim of a victim's life
The Only Hope For Me Is You by My Chemical Romance
Where were you when all of the embers fell?
I still remember then
Covered in ash, covered in glass, covered in all my friends
I still think of the bombs they built
and
How it should be many years after the disasters that we've seen?
What have we learned other than people burn in purifying flame?
I say it's okay, I know you can tell
Down The River by The Crane Wives
Sure, you can forget about all the things you've done
But what about the rest of us?
(What about the rest of us?)
High-tail it when it gets to be too much
But what about the rest of us?
(What about the rest of us?)
Lions by Rose Betts
You went too deep, you went too far
Lost everything, lost who you are but
There is a courage in the dark
Just like you it shines to spark a flame
Just like us
We stand up, we face the day
Angels In The Wind by Burn The Ballroom
And they say that they love us but leave us to die on the floor
And I'm not gonna wait 'cause they can't hold us back anymore
But when you're in fear, when you're in doubt
Just say my name, we'll figure it out
We're the angels in the wind we've waited for
Woodland by The Paper Kites
Run, run, don't trail behind keep moving
The beasts won't stop till we're dead
All the scrapes on our knees
Will tell you where we've been, where we have bled
and
Oh, we're building a home
With the mud and the stones and the branches we bind
We're all just searching for something
Bigger than we're all able to find
If It's True from Hadestown
I believe we're stronger than they know
I believe that we are many
I believe that they are few
And it isn't for the few
To tell the many what is true
Invincible by Pat Benatar
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
Not Ready to Make Nice by The Chicks
I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time
To go 'round and 'round and 'round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell, can't bring myself
To do what it is you think I should
Gun. by My Chemical Romance
But if you're watching up above
They're teaching me to kill, who's teaching me to love?
+ Ba Sing Se:
Light with a Sharpened Edge by The Used
It's not me (is there another side)
Buried wreckage my soul (beyond the black and white?)
It's not me
So who am I now? (who am I now?)
Flowers from Hadestown
Is anybody listening?
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing, nothing gonna wake me now
+ some general vibes:
Teenagers - My Chemical Romance
Welcome To The Family - Avenged Sevenfold
Willow Tree March - The Paper Kites
I Am Going to Kill The President of the United States of America - Leathermouth
aah, sorry lol. I'm so bad at remembering the punctuation and numbers in usernames 😅 I'm glad you found it regardless! I definitely need to update it because I have a proper list lying around somewhere
Somebody should animate Jet to the "I'd rather sleep" animation meme though
(From timestamp 1:20 onward). Like, imagine it real quick.
The vibe/aesthetic:
And maybe it could incorporate these frames, or at least the emotions Jet appears to be feeling by the looks of them:
Now I know what's real what's fake.
Rather sleep than stay awake.
Just to be a kid again.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
And seeing as how many of the animation memes made with that song use this sort of lying down/awake lying/sleeping pattern, it'd be cool to see his body language reflected in that.
The first time: Tense, crying, clutching his hookswords which are about as large as him, considering he's but 8 years old. On the dirt of a forest floor.
The second time: A bit older. He's alert, wide awake, chest heaving a bit. Must've been a nightmare. He brings his swords, now a bit more comfortably sized, closer. On the wood of a Freedom Fighters hideout.
The third: He's lying in his back, perhaps one leg propped up/knee bent. He seems to be in deep thought. One hooksword is sheathed, the other held loosely in his hand. On a creaky, wooden ship's deck.
The last: His swords lie beside him, untouched. His eyes are dull, but he's still breathing. He's lying on a cold stone floor, bathed in green light.
In between the instrumentals, the lyrics:
"Now I know what's real, what's fake."
Earth kingdom gaurds who are of no help to a poor, starving child like him. Versus the soldiers not minding stealing food directly from others, as Jet observes these dynamics unfolding.
"Rather sleep than stay awake."
He enters his hideout, leaning on the wall beside the door tarp. He's exhausted, with a fresh, bloody bandage on his arm. He clutches is halfheartedly, eyes kept low.
"Just to be a kid again."
He's sharing some tall tales and stories with his Freedom Fighters around a campfire laughing.
"La, la, la, la, la, la, la."
It's a shot of the leaves from his forest with the starry night sky peeking through. On the last note it cuts to the dark, unforgiving ceiling a catacomb.

Sorry, I have an overactive imagination, severe artblock, and I think an autistic hyperfixation on Jet. And yes, I was and still am an animation meme kid.

•The shipnames will be shown in order from my preferred/favorite to least favorite.
•The shipnames that aren't a mashup of the character's names were all coined by me, any and all that weren't will receive a disclaimer or credit.
•I attached links to the characters's wiki pages, just in case. And any other relevant links.
•This is a personal list and not an opionated one.
⚠Warning:
This is not a space for shipping discourse, nor will I tolerate fandom hostility under this specific post.
Ships below cut:
OTP:
Name:
Jinko / Firelight / Hot Leaf Juice (originally coined by @jessfandrawer) / Zujin
Characters:
Jin
Zuko
Dynamic:
Romantic, asexual, fluff mixed with deep emotional connection.
Reason:
Cute. Chemistry. I like Jin. Zuko needs someone with a warm personality rather than a cold one (firebender pun unintended). The cute headcanons I keep thinking of for this ship. If Kataang is Aang, air, and Katara, water, we need an earth + fire ship.
QPR, they're a thing but not in the traditional sense. They're eachother's person but the line is drawn at cuddling and hand holding.
Reason:
8 years max of knowing one another, fierce loyalty, shared experiences and hardships, wordless communication, Bow expert + knife expert is a cool duo (admit it). +The Shoulder Touch™️ .
Bromance, platonic close bond, working (?) partners.
Reason:
Airbender + Airwalker. Overlapping soft personality types. Shared excitement over the concept of gliding/the sky. Teo's outlook on the spirit of airbending, Aang's fierce wishes to maintain the spirit of airbending. Some rambles in this reblog.
Parallels, complimenting personalities, they make an excellent team, the shoulder touch™️ , imagine them swordfighting toghether for training and bonding, they call eachother "buddy" even post "that's rough, buddy" and I think it's kind of exclusively their thing.
Cute. Mutual. Water and air as elements IRL and within ATLA have a lot of overlap, therefore parallels. Complimenting personalities. They've been through thick and thin toghether.
Rivals, reluctant teammates, flirtatious, frequently argue, share one braincell.
Reason:
Parallels, angst, clashing personalities, missed potential for an allience. If they'd been given the chance, Jet would have to come to terms with the fact his extremist outlook on the Fire Nation could directly hurt someone he's come to care about.
Flirtatious, fling, potential for longterm but it'd need a lot of work.
Reason:
Jet, the leader of rebels (Freedom Fighters) and Jiang, a rebellious pirate captain. Similar personalities. Sword wielders. Extremist + Daofei member. High-stakes angst and ideological conflict. Fierce protectiveness and loyalty to their crews. They'd probably end up choosing their respective crews over eachother. But are eachother's ride-or-die when need be.
Disclaimer: Jet's confirmed age is 16. I do not know Jiang's. She seems plausibly 16 too but could be an adult. Unless her age is confirmed otherwise, I ship them as is. If she turns out an adult, I'd only ship Jet once he is an adult too.
Brash + Soothing. Becomes more confident + softens up. Trauma bonding. Working through their differences for eachother. They'd both be very protective in different ways, Song is emotionally while Jet's more obvious and usually applies it to outward threats. It'd end up being adorable, admit it. Just imagine it.
Long distance, subtle intimacy (not PDA or overt romantic affection, rather stuff like hand holding, gift-giving, cheek smooches), eventual working partners.
Reason:
Engineer + son of a mechanic. Easy going personalities. They'd nerd out toghether. Teo feels conflicted about Satoru's interest in industrial machinery as he's seen the harm it does to the enviroment around it (like what he saw his dad do to the Northern Air Temple) while Satoru is very eager to please Teo and doesn't quite grasp the moral implications yet. Eventually Satoru opts to find more environment friendly ways to keep his job.
Disclaimer: While Teo's confirmed age is 13, I do not know what Satoru's is. I suspect 16, since the international standard and most common minimum employment age worldwide IRL is 15 years old. And even though Satoru is an Executive Partner, it could be by birthright rather than full time professional position.
Very close in age, fun-loving, stubborn yet easy going girl + easy going guy, disabled earth kingdom kids refusing to let other's perception of them define them, cute fluff. But I'm also very in favor of aroace spec Toph, so this isn't an active ship of mine.
I know, I know. I just mean in canon he probably learned it as the only other person with direct dragon contact. I also like pretty colors.
I think most iroh critical arguments I’ve seen hold up (ATLA has a lot of politics that deserve interrogation). I still like him as a character, but yeah especially in season 3 and the comics there is a lot of stuff with him that goes unaddressed and ignored that shouldn’t have been.
I wonder if Lu Ten would've had rainbow fire, since I assume Iroh needed someone else to do the dragon dance with and Lu Ten makes sense...
Though when the rainbow fire is avaible (considering Zuko did it briefly once in the comics but I forgot which one it was) is a bigger mystery to me. It must be very exclusive. Dragon gifted, obviously.
But when and where can it be displayed? What fuels it? Can it be mastered? What factors are there to it?

A lot of this comes down to how you interpret Azula's choices at the end of Boiling Rock. Would she have spared anyone for treason, which would be an incredible character beat if true, or did she spare her friends because they were her friends? Did she take steps to protect them from Ozai's wrath afterwards? Because if she did she is definitely way more loyal to them than they were to her.
And then there is the Ty Lee question. Ty Lee definitely abandoned her family, and she probably abandoned both her friends before canon. I know Ty Lee's home life sucked, but she was friends with the Princess and it was pretty clear that in a couple years Azula was going to have the power to make Ty Lee's life much better if Ty Lee would just stick it out. Then when her best friend the fucking Princess comes calling and says "I need your help," Ty Lee tells her no. Later, at the end of canon, Ty Lee proceeds to...abandon her friends.
Ty Lee saving Mai is like the only time in her life she hasn't abandoned people when they're in need.
True true...so what is the problem she's avoiding by joining the Kyoshis? Is it a means of finding an escape from even more internal problems? To get away from Mai? Is she Zuko's guard? If so then.....she just traded one royal who seemed to value her to the one that purposefully taunted her and tried to get her to fight with her friends?
7. A group of girls. Nonbender girls. Hot girls. Who fight. Sounds like fun.
Jokes aside, I always felt like Azula must've told the Boiling Rock gaurds something along the lines of, "Get them out of my sight." And when questioned about what exactly their sentence would be, she was like, "Solitary confinement for now. I'm still deciding." (She didn't even have a punishment in mind, she was dismissing the very idea of it.)
