I took
ages to get into Avatar until
lacewood sic'd it on me during a stayover at
bravecows place,
here. Then I took one look at Zuko and was hooked for LIFE.
Avatar 3x01 - Play-by-play review and spoilers (from
avatar_episodes)
oh ow ow ow oh poor beaten-up Aang, my heart breaks for you.
*HOWLS!* with laughter at everybody being so buddy-buddy in FIRE NATION ARMOUR. Especially Sokka. "COME HERE I HUG YOU AANG. IN THIS FIRE NATION SUIT." Am very amused at all the FAMILY BONDING going on in Fire Nation suits. Because all we've gotten from the Fire Nation so far (excluding Zuko's childhood with his Mom) are the Portraits of Dysfunctional Power-Hungry FLAMING CRAZY Families.
... because I knew about the MaiKo in advance, COLD SHIVERS ran up my spine when she first approached him on deck. YEARGH ARGH. I love Zuko best (despite mocking him the most) and therefore I am EXTRAORDINARILY PICKY about anyone I ship him with.
HA HA HA MAI THAT'S RIGHT:
Mai: "Aren't you cold?"
Zuko: "I've got a lot on my mind. It's been so long. Nearly three years since I was home. I wonder what's changed. I wonder how I've changed."
Mai: *yawns* "I just asked if you were cold, I didn't ask for your whole life story."
OH ZUKO. New hairstyle, SAME OLD LOSER.
AHAHAHAHA, KATARA: "Maybe we should go upstairs. You need a healing session."
MOST UNSUBTLE SEDUCTION LINE EVER KATARA. AND THE WHOLE ENSUING SCENE.
Aang: "I was gone! But you brought me back!"
... I just don't ship.
Aaaand Azula and Zuko return to the Fire Nation. AZULA IS A LYING LIAR WHO LIES. PLEASE STOP WITH THE AZULA WORSHIP ALREADY IT MAKES ME SICK.
"Your Prince has returned!
ZUKO!!!"
*IS HOWLING WITH LAUGHTER*
...Sokka. That outfit makes you look SO MUCH LIKE ZUKO that everything you do in it MAKES ME HAPPY:
Looked so much like Zuko/Aang for ONE MOMENT to me that my heart skipped a beat. Sokka to Aang: "The whole world thinks you're dead. ISN'T THAT GREAT?!" :D :D :D
I love you Toph, you're the greatest. ♥
Zuko feeding the turtleducks makes me all WARM AND HAPPY INSIDE. But Azula! AZULA SCARED THEM ALL AWAY. D: THEY CAN SENSE EVIL.
THE STORY OF SOKKA'S LIFE:
Sokka: "Things couldn't get much worse."
*SEA MONSTER MAKES DRAMATIC APPEARANCE IN A PITCHED SEA-BATTLE*
Sokka: "The universe just LOVES proving me wrong, doesn't it."
Toph: "You make it too easy!"
Sokka: MY STUPIDITY ASTOUNDS ME. We finally see Fire Lord Ozai's face! ... he looks like an OLDER ZUKO.

Azula. Looking terribly oh brother come hither.


Yes I think you need this many screencaps to appreciate the wrongness of it all. ... when I'm looking at Azula, Jimmy's quote from
Blades of Glory when Fairchild's trapped him in a toilet comes to mind, "Evil! You're evil! And your whole family's evil!" ...except for Zuko, who, poor boy, is the DIET COKE of Evil.
*CHOKES WITH the WTF of Yue,
YUE reappearing to CONSOLE Aang*
NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE - oh, man, I hope it's gonna be the gold the preview promises. "The Avatar tries to fit in with the Fire Nation, INDEED!"
Aang, to random Fire Nation dude: "Greetings, my good hotman!"
And the special Avatar short is GREAT. The Chibi Avatar cast are BACK! ♥ ...With Sokkatorture.
Katara: ♥__♥ TINY ZUKO LOOKS SO CUTE!!! ♥
... *has a WORLD FULL OF BAD THOUGHTS* XDDDDDD
Zuko: I AM NEITHER CUTE NOR TINY!!!
Iroh: "You are very cute, my tiny nephew."
♥ ♥ ♥ I would say Toph rocks, but that would be a bad, bad pun.
lacewood's take on this episode
here.
Someone, somewhere out there, I know, has made an Avatar FST with songs by Earth, Wind and Fire. ♥
A bit too good-looking for his age, actually, now that you mention it! I was expecting a dude who LOOKED at least ten years older than what we got.
And also rocking out the Fire Nation clothes, when she does put them on in other episodes. Eeeee.
I love Aang smacking his head on his staff when he couldn't go and fight the Fire Nation ships. AND THEN HE BURNED IT AT THE END OF THE EPISODE. ANNOYANCE! AND DRAMA. D=
Sokka and Zuko are eerily similar in that the universe is totally out to get them. In different ways, but generally out to get them.
Zuko: I AM NEITHER CUTE NOR TINY!!!
Iroh: "You are very cute, my tiny nephew."
You know, I put Iroh's line for my MSN nick, and have been asked 5 times already if I have a tiny nephew. KIND OF HARD WHEN I DO NOT HAVE ANY SIBLINGS.
I eeeee with you happily! ♥
AND THEN HE BURNED IT AT THE END OF THE EPISODE. ANNOYANCE! AND DRAMA. D=
I LAUGHED AT THE BURIAL, for I am MEEN and Evil and Azulaesque that way. Then I wondered if his next AIRBORNE PROP was gonna be a HUUUGE PAIR OF EXTENDABLE WINGS. Or some such. :D
Sokka and Zuko are eerily similar in that the universe is totally out to get them. In different ways, but generally out to get them.
! I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH. ♥
*HOWLS!* At the TINY NEPHEW LINE! You could put a picture of a random baby in your MSN nick to UP THE XD QUOTIENT. BUT FIVE TIMES, THAT IS BRILLIANT. ♥ Clearly you must inflict MORE Avatar on your MSN list.
(I have heard that if you check the OFFICIAL Nick site, you will hear find a description of Ozai along the lines of "Ozai is more attractive than fans have been expecting and bears a surprising resemblance to Zuko! MAYBE HE SCARRED HIS SON BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF THE COMPETITION" Having not seen this myself, I canna verify, but you know. PRICELESS THOUGHT ANYWAY.)
And uh yeah, you already heard the rest of my opinions. XD omg, I can't wait for Aang to have retarded Fire Nation hijinks, and to see everyone be SMOKING HOT LIKE BURNING in their new outfits.
We know who the old ladies are voting for in the big Fire Nation election, and it ain't Zuko
XD!!! I agree! But to be fair, if I were the Fire Nation voters, I wouldn't be casting for Zuko either.
... HOWLS AT THE RUMOURS, WHETHER TRUE OR NOT. *ROLLS ON GROUND* DADDY ENVY.
SMOKIN' HOT LIKE BURNING INDEED. :D I CAN'T WAIT EITHER. LOOKIT MY PORTRAIT OF OZAI WITH NOODLES. XDDDD PLEASE LET US HAVE MORE OF THIS CRACK.
Welcome to Avatar fantardness!
And I love emo Zuko in your icon, it makes ME happy ♥
*beams!* Thank you! *feels welcome and HAPPY* ♥
...something tells me I should make some.
BUT OMGGG CHIBI EPISODE.
BUT YES CHIBI EPISODE. There was one on the Nickolodeon site, link here: School-Time Shipping. SHIP WARS, BUT IN CHIBI FORM. IT WAS THE BEST.
and omg confession time: I haven't actually watched Avatar since we visited you last year! :D I still haven't watched the Season 2 finale and the Cave of Two Lovers because I say no to ZuTara THAT EMPHATICALLY. Also the Avatar creators love creating ships and then SINKING THEM LIKE THE TITANIC.
Toph really makes me wanna squeeze her to death.
Chibi!Toph is sooo sooo cute. XDD
(And Azula looks like some hawt bishie boy with her hair down.)
Toph is adorable. ♥ I love her because she's drawn so CUTE and yet is all I DIDN'T ASK TO BE DRAWN THAT WAY D< when it comes to PURE ATTITUDE. I love her strength and her spunkiness and courage, her EVERYTHING. Unqualified love for her. :D
XDDD!! I didn't think of Azula as a hot bishounen, LET ME LOOK HARDER, I want to see what you see! :D Azula with her hair down kind of reminded me of KATARA, a bit. *buries face in hands!* But I do think that EVIL POWER of the kind she's got can be preeetty seductive. ;)
I I I cannot recommend Avatar highly enough in the MOCKERY department: but also it has a good story and lots of fan-love! ;) I am utterly lazy when it comes to watching new material, too: I need to be sat down, preferably tied up, and have it fed to me. But then I will TAKE TO IT AMAZINGLY! And bring it home with me and introduce it to all my friends and LOVE IT ENDLESSLY. ♥
hope things are going well back on the sunny island
Apologies for not being able to get to this comment sooner, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Is still in time in this time zone! *SNUG*
WISH YOU WERE HERE ♥
I loled at firenation!Sokka. Srsly. He is just one scar and lot of emo from turning into Zuko [sekrit otp pls].
Also, where is this chibi episode and why don't I have it in my episode file. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD=
Also, need Avatar icons. T_T;;;
FIRENATION SOKKA INDEED! My heart beat just that little bit faster because he reminded me so much of Zuko. and omg SEKRIT OTP ME TOO ME TOO. ♥ I ship Sokka/Zuko and Aang/Zuko, because I can, and because ZUKO IS A PERMANENT UKE.
I hugs tight! Some versions of the DL did not have the chibi episode - if you're on
I get my icons off
