Perfect time for posting.

Some person: isn’t that women’s work?

Takiko, used to this nonsense, starts to move towards the pot but to the collective shock of everyone in the room she is waved away by the Fire Lord.

“No, no, you’re in the middle of your presentation, I’ve got this,” says Zuko.

Male advisor: *sputtering* “My Lord! Surely Takiko can do that. Is it not below your station to pour tea?”

Zuko: “It’s fine. Uncle Iroh always pours his own tea and he’s ranked above all of you.”

*Room collectively recalls that Uncle Iroh is Dragon of the West*

Male advisor, changing tack: “She has uh… much more experience with such things.”

Zuko: *displaying an impressive level of control in using a fire technique to heat the pot that he learned during his time working in the Earth Kingdom tea shop* “I doubt it.”

It's about the horrors of colonialism and war and genocide. It's a high school drama. It's a sexy mecha show. there’s titties everywhere the 2006 fan service is absolutely tasteless and egregious. But don't get distracted, this is a show about rebels fighting to overthrow an evil genocidal empire except for when it's about the world’s largest pizza, yes, the world's largest pizza. Sponsored by Pizza Hut. This Show Is Sponsored By Pizza Hut. Major characters will die in devastating ways that you will remember forever. Buy Pizza Hut. The fandom is mostly yaoi of the two male leads but they’re not canonically queer. There are some canonically queer side characters! but watch out! you’ll wish there weren’t! It takes place in the futuristic year of 2017, which is actually in the 1960s if you convert the shows alternate universe calendar into our own.

There are levels of toxic yaoi and mecha design that mortals were not meant to experience on this side of eternity. Sometimes the cast has to wear Playboy Bunny outfits for incredibly important plot reasons. There is an extended meditation on whether the inherent corruption of wielding the systems built by your oppressors means the most moral choice for the successful revolutionary is suicide or if the curse to live with the sins of the past must be borne by someone to prevent their reoccurrence. It is a canon event that one of the experimental mecha is critical to creating the world's largest pizza.
