things i am learning now that i’m finally actually watching avatar the last air bender part one:
1) not everyone is a bender 2) it does appear to be inherent to some extent, because katara seems to be partially self-taught 3) however, there is a learning element, because you can improve on your skills and the avatar has to learn how to master all four elements where i thought aang just had inherent skill 4) the element of the bender seems to always match the element of the tribe they’re in, which makes sense if they are taught by their tribe but raises some questions if it’s inherent. is bending ability passed genetically? what happens if two benders of different elements have a kid? i can’t google this because i don’t want anymore spoilers than i already have 5) uncle iroh is prince zuko’s uncle?????????? i thought he was like an earth bender who owned a tea shop this entire fucking time how did i go into this series knowing almost everything but THAT
i honestly thought it was an honorary title like he’s a nice old man who helps out all the kids so he just has them call him uncle
HELLO I am here to point out that the guy who helped sokka, zuko & co escape from the boiling rock mistook their relationship with Suki as a polyamorous one
He addressed BOTH of them and called her their girlfriend and no one corrected him.
I’d like to make an important addition:
WAIT IT GOT BETTER:
Just a couple of platonic friends figuring out their boyfriend is a horrible liar who could blow their cover any second
IN CONCLUSION TO MY THESIS TODAY:
Zuko at the beginning of “The Boiling Rock”
Zuko at the end of “The Boiling Rock”
fuckin superb u funky bisexual
That’s his “I came here single, and I left with a both a boyfriend and a girlfriend face” face.
