alright look, i just wanna know who is the writer that came up with the dumbass idea of replacing the line “Ever since I lost my son, I think of you as my own” with “Lu Ten would have been proud to have you as his father” in this scene for the Netflix live action series???

you notice in the live action from what we can see of Ursa in this that she has a diffrent hair style and hair jewley. This is how i headcanon Ursa now with all those hair assories, as they were gifted from Ozai.

i hope everyone who sees this remembers that Lu Ten was an imperialist pig who died trying to capture Ba Sing Se and if you think he was someone likeable may i remind you iroh was just like his family and so was his son and before his own death the fire lord throne would have passed to him frm iroh so he was a pig. this is also to say that iroh was also a pig(and still highkey is) but thats a conversation you guys are too weak for!

tldr: if you even think lu ten was a good person block me.

For some reason I just realized/noted another thing from Legacy of the Fire Nation book: the way Iroh speaks about Ozai in relation to both fire siblings. When he revealed that sometimes he sees Ozai in Zuko, he says so in a regrettable tone, about what could've been better and wished that was. Meanwhile, when he connected Ozai (and himself) to Azula, he only associated her to the traits he believed to be problematic and should be held accountable.

Furthermore, what he claimed to see in Zuko is surely his own view and opinion BUT what he sees in Azula is what he assumes how Ozai views her too. Iroh doesn't think that Ozai might liked Azula better because of her talent and intelligence but because of the "fury" or whatever that was.

He doesn't see or acknowledge the positive things about Azula and only assumed Ozai liked her better because she mirrors the worst part of himself.

@oborofollower7 rq response, that's because it's doesn't matter how long you've known a person it's about how much they've benefited in your life and vise versa I'm responding to this because I've had multiple situations and "friendships" where literally not one of them understood or were even compassionate for me and STILL has a scar on me. also reading vigilantes or looking with your own eyes would show their clear friendship between all FOUR of them.

@ people who think that shirakumo means that aizawa and mic werent close as teenagers, I'd like to remind yall that what we saw was aizawas flashback about who made him the hero he was, shirakumo.

He was probably just as close with mic as he was with shirakumo, but he wasnt reminiscing on the fun times he had with his friends, he was remembering how his friend shaped his life before and after he passed. Of course the flashbacks weren't going to have a lot of mic moments, because the flashbacks werent about him.

They were about shirakumo, first and foremost, and how he continued to affect aizawas life.

then I'm gone

they've been through so much..and they're still growing. 🤧

why did no one talk about this?!

Can we just talk about how powerful this scene is? 

There are no words needed. Each panel shows us how their relationship was with each other. Silence often offers us a more powerful understanding than a thousand words ever could. Ursa knew she never showed her daughter how much she loved her. You can see the love and affection on her face for her high strung little girl… as well as regret and worry. Even in the last panel and the way she looks back…she was hesitant. She did not want to leave Azula, knowing how much Ozai influenced her at such a young age…she even chose to see her daughter first before Zuko. Maybe she had planned on saying something to Azula…but the words got lost on her tongue. What could she say? Instead she opted to give her a kiss on her cheek as a sign of love instead, praying she would be safe.

If only Azula knew…

I have a lot of Azula Feels now…excuse me while I go cry in a corner.

sksksksks ok but y'all know I don't ship zutara right
