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

The Painted Lady and The Blue Spirit

The Painted Lady and The Blue Spirit

Witnessing Spirits

Ever since that one exchange between me and @avatarsymbolism, I’ve had the idea to make this particular post. I’m afraid I hadn’t paid enough attention to this topic until then xD so thanks to that blog for making that certain post, because despite my attitude, it actually brought something essential to light that I hadn’t been all that attentive about.

We’re always told, as writers, that good storytelling is achieved through the mechanism of “show, don’t tell”. Curiously, though, there’s a lot of telling in ATLA. It’s easier to focus on what a character says than on his actions, especially for a younger audience, I think. Therefore, it’s also easier to focus on what others say about a character too… which is often the case with Azula.

Too often we forget this clever girl is only fourteen-years-old, that she is but a human being underneath all her flawed perfection. It’s easy to forget it because of what we’re told about her, because of the things she does that reinforce the preconceived ideas that we have about her, ideas that we obtain through Zuko and Iroh, first of all.
