#trope inversion

I’m so used to love triangles where it’s two Strong Brooding Dudes fighting over some sweet fragile girl… but Wolf King said: what if it’s two powerful badass ladies and one traumatized kicked-puppy boy???

yes. equality. 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

SBW25.2 Day 2 - It's not what it looks like | Fake/pretend relationship | Trope reversal | Culture shock

Krypton invades Earth. Earth wins. How do you legitimize surrender in Kryptonian culture? Why, with a wife, of course!

And now we go one generation further, Ozai is now an admittedly terrible father to two children. Zuko and Azula, and who does he favor?!

THE YOUNGER ONE

AZULA

Of course he does, Ozai heavily projects on both of his kids. He goes the extreme other way and puts the same abusive pattern on his own children, just reversed.

- Iroh himself btw never has the opportunity to develop that pattern, first of all because he only had one child, and second of all because he was the one who got the at least somewhat "healthier" dynamic with his father and probably his mother, if we go with the theory that Ilah died in childbirth.-

Because he sees the exceptional prodigy of Azula as himself, the second child, who in his narcissism is the better option. Who he can form to be the perfect successor of his legacy.

And in that way of thinking he treats Zuko, his older child with the same neglect and dismissal as he was treated as a child. He himself does not realise it, but he creates in that way in Zuko a kind of distorted mirror image of himself.

With one difference. Zuko has his mother and his uncle to teach him compassion. Not only that but Zuko himself is someone who as a person has a strict honor code he follows. (See 41st division).

Zuko is with that in mind, not just a reflection of Ozai but also a WEAK reflection from his perspective.

Which puts us back to the reason of, why he burned the face.

It's the 'you must not fail this training/test or else you will die' trope.

I like to write 'you will complete this training/ pass this test'

There's no other choice you poor sucker. You think you can die to get out of this hell? Nah kiddo, we'll make sure you get the very best medical care and then throw you right back into it.

You can’t do it? Well here's what, we're gonna keep going until you do. Over and over and over. We're gonna make sure you break through every barrier possible until you can do everything I need you to do.

You could not find two people cut of a more different cloth than Findaráto Ingoldo Arafinwion and Morifinwë Carnistir Fëanárion. It is, perhaps then, Fate’s cruel whims or the One’s idea of a particularly entertaining joke that they be bound together in a sacred union.

They survive.

Manga Break Time

Way of the Househusband v.1 | Kousuke Oono | ★★★★

Synopsis: A gag-series about a former Mafia boss Tatsu, on his quest to succeed in his new life as a househusband. This manga pits some really strong criminal element imagery against some super... domestic scenarios for comedic effect.

Opinions: This series is all about using strong visuals and situations to tell a dynamic story about Tatsu's new life as a househusband. It's not supposed to be deep or thought provoking, but. it is very nicely illustrated and it's. such a contrast between the scenario and the visual representation that's going along with it that it's absolutely hysterical.
