"I mean look, I can find concern for my son facing those pressures but you have to understand Zuko has one thing Azula and Kiyi don't. He's a boy, and therefore human enough for me to be concerned about him."

HC that spirits love Azula because she's full of chi and can control it like crazy and Azula is obviously pissed of because she's in her brooding runaway fugitive arc

nikki breaks my heart so bad because in the brief moments we see her before the wish kicks in, she's so cool and funny, clearly kindhearted, very driven about her future (telling bear about how she was going to quit her job to focus on her writing), and also very sure of herself as a person. ive seen people describe this movie as "mean-spirited" and I think thats so apt because it was a 2 hour long tragedy of the torture of this innocent girl, taking away everything she's ever had, including her own sense of self, putting her through unimaginable horrors, and leaving her with nothing except the three dead bodies of her friends, with the one who she trusted most being the one who did this to her. nothing for her to look for hope in, because she has nothing before her except a lifetime in prison or in an institution. it would be one thing if the movie ended on a note like weapons, where everything was over and there would hopefully be recovery somewhere down the line, but here, not only was the evil not committed by a random stranger but her closest friend, but she doesn't get any chance at recovery either. so goddamn tragic. on that note, if anyone can come up with some sort of fix-it for nikki please link it to me because I will be crying about this girl forever.

on my second viewing of obsession, i had the realization that nikki’s story at the party wasn’t the movie using incest as an easy shorthand for making the audience uncomfortable or creating a general “things are off” vibe but was another way the real nikki was crying out—a metaphor for the fact that nikki, like gretel, is being made to fuck her “little brother” (bear) under duress, at the behest of an external magic (the witch’s spell in her story; obviously, bear’s wish)

imagine ty lee making a flower crown for azula!! they’re sat leaning on a tree in a field surrounded by flowers, maybe it’s a picnic date. azula acts like she’s begrudgingly taking the flower crown and doesn’t care for it but the bright blush on her cheeks when ty lee puts in on azula’s head gives her true feelings away🥰
