it makes me real fucking emo to think of how Iroh always refers to Zuko as “Prince Zuko”. Not out of some false stuck-up sense of formality or to distance himself emotionally or something, but because Zuko has been kicked out of his home by his own father and stripped of his identity, has lost his birthright and nation and entire sense of self in one terrible blow, and all he really has left is his name and title, as defamed and mocked as it is. Iroh is probably the only person in the world to address Zuko as “Prince” and actually mean it. His nephew needs to believe he can return home, needs to maintain some scrap of hope to keep him going. The only time Iroh slips up is and just calls him “Zuko” is when he thinks Zuko’s been killed in the ship explosion.
similarly, it makes me real fucking emo to think of how Zuko only ever calls Iroh “Uncle”. Not Prince, not General, not the Dragon of the West, not even just Iroh – he calls him uncle. Because Iroh is the only member of his family who Zuko trusts enough to let his guard down completely. He knows he won’t be punished for being informal or vulnerable around him, knows that calling him “uncle” will never be misconstrued as a sign of disrespect. Even at his angriest, Zuko addresses Iroh as “Uncle”. In the end, his uncle is the only person with whom he feels truly safe.
The fish tank is filled with a gas called sulfur hexaflouride, which is more dense than air. This gas is so dense you can actually fill a fish tank with it and then put an aluminum foil boat on top of it to give the impression that the boat is floating. He then scoops some of the heavier gas out of the fish tank and pours it into the boat. The boat fills up with the heavier air, and sinks to the bottom
The hell
Science is just witchcraft that can be explained… No one can tell me any different.
Gases act like liquids but the molecules are spread out further than liquids so we generally can’t see them or feel them. But they move like liquids.
