Zuko going into an angst coma because he made the right decision.

That moment when you make so many bad decisions in life that your body thinks it’s a virus when you finally do the right thing.

More like: When your father has told you that everything you’ve done is wrong and that one time you thought you were in the right he burned off half your face and banished you, so you start going into panic mode when you’re right for once because you’re mentally bracing yourself to experience violence again.

Oh

#GODS YES THANK YOU #like ok yes all the ‘lol zuko fell into an angst coma cause he did the Right Thing’ jokes are funny #but so many people obviously don’t look beyond that #to the underlying trauma #which is WHY he goes into an angst coma #his body just fucking shuts DOWN #the last time he followed his conscience his father brutally mutilated him #the last time he allowed himself to make a compassionate decision he was LITERALLY MAIMED #of COURSE he’d struggle with being reminded that he’d just done something that #if his father witnessed it #would’ve gotten him horrifically hurt #again #by someone he loved and trusted
