Watching httyd for the thousandth time

Concept: Fire Lords traditionally dress like the stages of the sun to match their reign.

#okay but people noticing zukos slow transition from reds and gold to oranges and purples#and at first speculate hes dying. but then realize the shift is too gradual and purposeful to be that. izumi is also shifting her wardrobe#shes wearing clothes that are dark and deep#that as zukos shift further into deeper oranges and yellows and purples hers shifts into light yellows and pinks.#and its already been announced that he'll abdicate. but everyone suspected before then. the day he does his clothes are only orange or red#at the hems. special for the abdication. and the rest a light to dark purple gradient. a visual signifier of his time as firelord ending#and i think that its a happy day. zuko has made sure his daughter and nation are ready.that it is time a different generation took the lead#so izumi is one of if not the only fire lord to be crowned by her parent. its important for the nation and its important for *them*#also teen zuko being the first firelord in over a hundred years to follow an anciet tradition whilst making sweeping reforms?#showing that the fire nation need not lose its culture to fix its wrongs and look to the future#yeah i like this a lot actually#atla (from @findafight)
