The Avatar fandom is always saying that if we get a continuation after Korra they hope we get to see more complex and flawed characters because atla and lok lacked them

Well I don't want that because y'all can't even handle the ones you were already given

i feel as if the atla fandom argues about a lot of meaningless shit but one of the biggest (and MOST inane) points of contention to me is that....katara didn't get a statue in lok. like. i could go on about how katara's presence in lok was way more meaningful than anyone else in the gaang appearing and how she was a steady solid presence for korra who had far more of an impact than just a quick punchy fight scene and was actually compassionate and skilled and her political presence sets SO much of legend of korra's worldbuilding up and how the fandom is really notorious for reducing katara to a poor helpless victim as much as possible because she had a complex and significant and emotional character arc that didn't always have the most "classic" #girlboss plot points but the truth is like. its a statue? its a fucking statue??? a fucking hunk of rock im sorry??? i could not care less about a piece of rock over a character's actual presence?

I saw this and thought of the Royal Fire Siblings. I can't stop laughing at the accuracy 🤣

CRYING IM SOS ACRED BECAUSE FYM MAI MIGHT NOT BE IZUMI’S MOM

60 days until ashes of the academy!

zuko making up for his past mistakes in his relationship with mai. everything is basically set for them to begin their relationship again after a while and y’all say they won’t be endgame 🤦‍♀️

well, Ashes of The Academy was such a nice read. this part in particular stayed with me because it reminded me of their argument during the Beach episode and looked at them now learning to trust and resolve their disagreements in a healthy way 😚

Of course, this is the generation that will lead the Fire Nation down a better path.

Now I wish we had more of this. a whole series of Mai continuing to find her purpose. Starting first with teaching and then perhaps other aspects of Fire Nation society too.

Mai's Crimes :

Being goth

Sighing

EATING

Having a not good childhood

Talking to a male that is not her boyfriend

Being angry at being wrongfully accused of cheating

Not jumping up and down in glee because her boyfriend gifted her something he picked up from the ground

Poking boyfriend in shoulder

Joking with boyfriend

Being angry at being dumped over text

Allegedly having sex with boyfriend

Not unlearning years of propaganda in five minutes

Joking with boyfriend AGAIN

Not liking when boyfriend yells

Throwing a sheet of paper at boyfriend

Sitting in a pallenquin

Asking for stuff from servants

loser....

still hope maiko remains canon 🔥 but this would be cool

So katara has jiang, toph had yaling, suki had biyu, and june had fan.

I know ppl are hoping that the upcoming comic is a maiko reunion but considering it's mai focused I hope she get a new female friend or rival or something. And I hope it's not just kiyi

Personal take: Even in 2025, I adore Maiko being emo teens 😄. I hope they keep their emo vibes in the future content.

Ps: imagine Izumi being a sweet girl, all smiles and giggles, while being raised by two edgy parents 😆
