The scene of the play where her and Jet's actors are flirting and being embarrassing:

She brings her hand bashfully to shield her left side and turns to the right, in Toph's direction even though Toph is the one laughing at her, like she's more embarrassed in front of the person on her left side despite Toph being the one laughing, and is turning away/shielding herself from looking at him or being looked at by him. And then,

in the last frame she glances back in his direction but her eyes are still downcast, like she's trying to see his reaction without being obvious that she cares.

Every frame matters in animation.

Slow mornings

Yeah, she's being short with him, but she doesn't go 'you think I'm not strong enough?' Or 'why should you care?' Or anything like that. It's not confrontational or evasive.

It has this 'stop fussing' vibe that doesn't quite line up with the hatred and mistrust she's meant to be feeling toward him.

I finally finished it...

I think I redid it like 4 times, and I still not satisfied with the end result, but to this point I'm tired,

maybe I'll redo it somewhere in the future, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"The water chakra deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt"

The boys trying to make it up to the girls

Being down bad for them as they should

Saving the girls from the falling rocks

Katara and Sokka opening up to Zuko and Suki about their trauma and grief

The girls teasing the boys

Training side by side

Sleeping side by side

Getting ready for the final fight

"I don't know about this" look from the girls

"Everything is going to be fine. Trust me" look from the boys

Reaching out for each other

But...

The moon was there and saved him...

The moon was there when he had a lot of mind...

The moon was there when he mad at himself...

The moon was there when he tried to make up for his mistakes...

The moon was there when he needed someone by his side...

And he said, "You rise with the moon, I rise with the sun."

But...

The sun was there to see her sorrow...

The sun was there to see her getting closure...

The sun was there to see how great she was...

And somewhere in the other universe,

And the only two characters who Zuko deprived himself of sleep for, out of humility were Uncle Iroh and Katara.
