Alya, has every right to be upset with Marinette. She has every right to be disappointed and hurt, and has every right to want to step back from their friendship if she truly decides to do so. When you’re upset with someone deciding to step away and get some much needed space is healthy. It’s a way to help not only yourself work through your feelings but also ensure that you and the person you’re upset with don’t lash out at each other and hurt them even more.

   But besides that there’s also the factor of why she’s upset, besides the fact Mari's keeping such a huge lie up. Let us not only add onto the fact this is a massive lie and one that Alya takes with personal hurt and frustration thanks to us learning how much it hurt her when her parents kept the secret about Nora from her, but the factor that Marinette pushed Alya to become part of the lie in Lady Chaos. She begged her to trick Adrien, the very person she’s keeping the lie up for all together. Alya feels even more betrayed now than before, of course she’s going to be upset.

   And no Alya is not being a bad friend by wanting to get some space from Mari after this. Alya throughout this whole season has been an amazing friend to Marinette. This isn’t like the Lila situation where every character got hit with the dumb-dumb stick. Every action and reaction she had make sense for her character and also the situation she’s in. 

   As for Mari, yes she has every right to feel hurt and heartbroken. However let us not forget that by this point the reason she is keeping up the lie isn’t for Adrien anymore. She doesn't want to risk him breaking up with her, she doesn't want to lose him. What had started off as a lie out of love has become a lie to not lose the boy she loves. It's become selfish. It isn’t fair to Adrien, nor to Marinette to keep them in a relationship for that reason. And it certainly isn’t fair that she pushed her friend to become part of the lie even when she knew how much lies had affected Alya. 

   The secret is something too big to keep now. It was going to come out at some point, and unfortunately Mari chose to wait too long and it will end up giving her the worst reactions. 

From this he knows that iroh is a ex military personal and zuko is his nephew and apprentice. Adding the latter gained information about iroh being a firebender makes it pretty clear where iroh and zuko once fought.

Jet is ridiculed in his persuit to hold these warcriminals accountable so its pretty messy, but the way the show antagonizes everyone who does so puts iroh and zuko's redemption into a funny spot.

To state the obvious: Mikasa was able to break from her previous glowing conception of Eren and think for herself, gaining a more complete picture of Eren as a person. If she was the shallow character people claim her to be, Mikasa would not have opposed the Yeagarists - she would've fallen in line, becoming an unthinking supporter of their fascist, genocidal reign. Instead, Mikasa killed Eren, not allowing her love to keep her bound, ending the titan curse.

Which is a stark contrast to Louise and Floch. They fell for the facade Eren presented them, unquestioning. Eren didn't give a shit about the "Eldian Empire." He used the Yeagarists for his own aim - an unoccupied outside world - ambivalent to their deaths. Eren preyed on their fear of annihilation, allowed their terror to fester and blossom into dehumanization, ultra-nationalism, and imperialist aims, all for him to use them as a tool to start the Rumbling, so he could "see that sight." Louise and Floch idolized Eren, whipped up into a fervor, unconscious to his true goal.

Eren himself recognized the humanity of the people living beyond the walls. He grew to understand differing perspectives, notably Reiner's. He cried to Ramzi, apologizing for what he knew he would do. Yet, he still did it. Empty without the "freedom" he sought, the look in Armin's eyes, an internal freedom he mistook as an external goal. Telling himself and others he was doing it for Eldia (despite trampling Eldians outside the walls), for his friends (despite not knowing if they'd live), anything to distract himself from his own selfish desire.

Stuff ive found and written for my fanfic references but its also very fascinating how you can even analysis the way Jet speaks down to his character.

unlike during their scouts days when mikasa would easily win anything sporty against jean, she’s now clumsy without that ackerman strength and jean smiles knowing he could win but slows down for her sake and of course she notices and calls him out for it and tells him not to go easy on her
