Deadxzero - DeadXZero

What the hell have I come across?!

AU where Zuko realises very early into his banishment that he’s been sent on a hopeless goose chase and, actually, he doesn’t want to return to the oppressive Fire Nation and his abusive father. And he sticks with this decision even after Aang wakes up from the iceberg

Except then Aang meets Zuko - probably when Zuko jumps in to save someone, because his sense of justice is too strong to just sit back while someone is hurt, even if he is trying to remain apolitical - and his brain goes “!!!!” Because that’s a good firebender. They do exist. And now Aang knows someone who can teach him firebending without trying to kill him

Except Zuko wants nothing to do with the Avatar. He especially doesn’t want to get entangled with his father’s war. So the rest of the season is about Zuko running from the Avatar, and Aang and co trying to capture the reluctant ex-Prince of the Fire Nation so he can be Aang’s firebending teacher

So does anyone know of any one shots where someone says that Zuko is an accomplished firebender, but Zuko renounces that and at first the Gaang think he’s just being modest, but then they come to the realization that; “Oh shit, he actually believes that.”

Here’s the excerpt from Two Lies, One Truth, it’s quite short about a paragraph, but hey whatever.

I actually thought about this while watching this scene unfold. Harumi explaining why Garmadon couldn’t kill Lloyd.

——————————————————————

“A child isn’t born from a side. A child encompasses all.” The explanation was weak, even parents who love and care for their children can still kill them. Something else was at work and it didn’t sit well. He was able to beat his son down with no problem a week ago. Would he have been able to have delt the finale blow then? It would have been better for her plans, but she wouldn’t have her revenge. She just hoped he wouldn’t realize how weak her reasoning was.

——————————————————————

As I said earlier, I thought about this while watching the episode. Her explanation was weak, and not based much in facts. Because like I pointed out, even parents who love their child can still kill them, according to FBI statistics, there are over 450 filicide’s each year in the United States alone and most filicide’s are Altruistic (out of love) or Psychotic.

The types of filicide are; Alturistic, Psychotic, Unwanted child, Child maltreatment and Spousal revenge.

The one that is the most striking is Zuko, yes his scar is the biggest difference, but what I’m getting at here is well the difference in lightning and the expression, the first image is bright and warm shining above, he’s smiling and happy, the second image, it’s dark and dreary as fire light illuminates his features from below, highlighting his scowl and wroth.

U know when avatar does that thing where it flashes back to a childhood memory of a character and then focuses on their face and fades back in on them at the same angle but older and changed....... gets me every time

One of them will have to get finished eventually, right???

Well an achievement for making 5 posts, let me guess the text will be 10?

This is the most posts I’ve made on any platform.

Imperialism kills.

They stole the land and killed the children.
