Happy 35th Birthday Sonic!

Someone, every single time: Make him a waiter at the Jasmine Dragon! Make him work for Iroh! Make him apologize to Iroh, make Iroh teach him to be a better person, have Zuko teach him to let go of anger, make Iroh and Zuko—

Yeah, let’s make Jet work for Iroh. He can easily learn to take responsibility for his actions from the man who was supposed to be the Fire Lord and let Ozai rule without any resistance. And Jet could learn to care about others who’ve unjustly harmed them too, just like how Iroh was never concerned with what happened to Jet after the Dai Li took him, or Zuko who found Appa immediately but forgot about Jet.

Jet can also learn so much more about women! I’m sure Smellerbee would love what Iroh has to say about girls.

And then we can have Iroh’s friends come over, like Mongke and the Rough Rhinos. And Jet can serve them! Isn’t that poetic? Isn’t that beautiful? The oppressed serving the oppressor? Maybe for added bonus we can have Jet apologize to them for still hating them for killing his parents and burning down his village.

I tell myself that many people are casual fans, and seeing as Jet is a side character, most overlook him. But a whole lot of this fandom writes numerous fanfics, headcanons, theories, AUs, and dissects so many of the characters that you really cannot be excused for thinking Jet had no right to hate the Fire Nation or that he would heal under someone who actively participated in the war for years.

I really don’t care if you stan Iroh and think he’s a saint. What’s canon is that he did fight for the Fire Nation for years and was happy doing it, and what’s also canon is that Jet has lost so many people to the Fire Nation and he’s a child.

It's actually canon that the Rough Rhinos where under Iroh's command when they burned Jet's village.
