So, now that The Legend of Korra ended, and my fanboyism is all over the place, I’ll take the chance to start a series of drawings with characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender, or Legend of Korra! Firts, the kid that started it all! Aang! Which character from the series would you like to see next? I’m open to suggestions!
good quotes from atla:
- flameo hotman
- no fire lord ozai, YOURE not wearing pants!
these are a few of my favorite things►tv shows - avatar: the last airbender
↳“My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.”
AU where zuko is a high school student struggling to stay on the honor roll

#I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I LOVE ZUKO AND HIS CHARACTER ARC
My favourite thing about this, is that he goes back to his father, and holds him accountable for his actions. He’s thought he was in the wrong for years. That it was his fault he lost his honour. To see him come to this understanding that he was a child and his father was the responsible party was amazing.
I can’t even think of any other animated kids shows where the abuser is called out on their abuse as openly and directly as he was in this show. And don’t even start me on the importance of them showing that a male child can be the victim of abuse by a male parent. That’s a demographic that so often gets brushed aside and they get told to “man up” or in this case “act like a Prince.” And Zuko gets to stand up and say “I AM a Prince. You’re the one who was wrong.”
