WHO TOLD YOU THAT THIS WAS OKAY

Isn’t this rather out of character?

No. No it’s not. Because of this:

Do you see that?^

Because the rivalry wasn’t always there. 

Because she was little once. 

Because there was a time when she wasn’t a strategic genius and a firebending prodigy. 

Because he didn’t always have to live under her shadow just ‘cause their scumbag of a father said so. 

Because once they were just kids.

So no, dear, it’s not out of character. Not at all.

This is why I always, always appreciate how their final agni kai was framed. It wasn’t a big hero moment for Zuko, it wasn’t an action spectacular.

It was a tragedy.

The sins of the parents–and Ursa is not blameless in this–played out in their children. So much damage done.

In another time, with a different upbringing, they could’ve been like Sokka and Katara.

Instead?

Instead…
