so honestly, this is pretty in character for both of them lmao

azula being the petty little sister calling her brother fugly for no fucking reason other than riling up her brother and zuko being super butthurt that his sister would say something so mean >:(

sidenote: this would probably be the HEALTHIEST brother-sister expression/relationship they could have. i can see this happening post canon and everyone including azula is like “zuko come ON I was joking!!! don’t ignore me!!!”

jokes on fucking azula because they literally are identical when she doesn’t have makeup on (yes she has makeup on in this picture but you know what i mean)

I gonna have to disagree on the first part :/ well, i can see both sides at least.

I think that it was very important that stayed together. Sure, it would have been nice for them to separate and have time alone but they were also children who had all just gone through a terrifying and traumatic experience. They needed support from one another as they processed everything. And besides, there are a LOT of time gaps between the end of the show and the comics starting up. Who’s to say she didn’t run off and have a spa day with the girls or smth.

Onto her being a Master Healer... why can’t she be both? She was Korra’s waterbending teacher... so she was definitely still a fighter well into her 80s. And in the comics, she begins teaching waterbending to some SWT girls who are waterbenders.

Maybe this is just me but.. like, women CAN have it all. Katara can be uber feminist and go against patriarchal Water Tribe norms and become a fighter, but she is also allowed to practice healing (clearly it came in handy while they were traveling) and become a Master Healer as well.

him (i don't think) i feel like people pretend to forget that these are complex, FLAWED characters. one of aangs flaws was that he was he tended to neglect kya and bumi.

sorry it took me so long to answer this, but i had so much to say!! ❤️

why do you assume that they didn’t have cute family excursions together? The only canon thing mentioned in LOK about the Cloud-babies upbringing was that Bumi told Tenzin that “Dad always spent more time with you” (roughly). We don’t know anything about how they were raised, we don’t know anything about how their training went. We don’t know anything about how their parents treated them other than very small snippets and conversations that are mentioned offhandedly. We only have a glance of a tiny bit of their lives when Aang was alive and to take that and make assumptions is so harmful to Aang’s character. 

But what we do know is THIS: Aang actively passed down the Air Nomad lifestyle to all of his children. 

- Kya meditates a lot. She is very spiritual and lived a nomadic life for a majority of it–something that she likely learned from Aang. 

- Bumi plays the flute, something that he literally had to have learned from Aang as well bc there are parallels of it between the shows. 

The amazing thing about fandom is that we can literally rewrite the story however we want. But even then, I don’t think Aang could be considered a so-so father. Was Hakoda a so-so father? He left his two children in the care of his mother-in-law for years. Iroh was a literally war criminal and he's revered in the a:tla fandom.

Aang was the best father that he could be to those kids. He was a victim of a genocide and the only living member of the Air Nomad culture. Of course, he doted on Tenzin!!! That was his life line to his culture. That was the first Airbender born in 100+ years. But that does not mean he “tended to neglect Kya and Bumi” just because he might have spent “extra time” training with him. He was also the Avatar. I think we can see that it’s a pretty demanding job. 

Because Kya is a waterbender, did that mean that Bumi and Tenzin were neglected by Katara? 

You said it right, Aang is a complex and flawed character, and to just whittle him down to being neglectful of two of his children just because they weren’t airbenders is possibly the worst characterization anyone could have given him. 

sokka’s not sad!! sokka is probably at the most bummed over it, but remember! he said that it didn’t matter if y/n could say it or not, it doesn’t change how he feels.

WAIT WHERE IS THE REST OF THE REACTION??

ahh soft boy zuko 🥺 i actually love that side of him, but i guess i can see how many people portray him too soft in some fics. i actually think that the complete opposite is worse. so many people portray him as only an angry and aggressive character with no softness whatsoever. i think softness is more natural to him, he just so happens to be a VERy angry teen, he can’t help that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ both can be bad if there’s no balance.
