Big Three

been doing my mandatory yearly rewatch of avatar and you know what I realised?

toph was never really affected by the war.

in the episode where zuko shows up to try and join the gaang, sokka katara and aang are all extremely opposed to this option, but toph is willing to give zuko a chance - and she says it herself, that there isn’t any other option and the judgement of katara and the others is clouded by their personal grudges, and she’s right. but the thing that I realised much later is that not only does toph not hold a grudge against zuko because she’s not had any real experiences with him/is more forgiving than the others, but also because toph never really had any real stakes in the war in the first place.

sure, she’s an earth kingdom citizen and an earthbender, but her wealth would have protected her if the Fire Nation reached Gaoling and having been raised in such an isolated manner wherein she has (apparently) no lower class friends whose fathers and brothers would’ve been sent off to fight, she doesn’t know anyone who is directly affected by the war. I bet her parents also kept her completely away from any news of the war in order to “protect” her, and so unlike katara, sokka, suki and aang toph never actually was affected by the war on a personal level, which makes it so easy for her to forgive zuko and allow him in to the group. It’s easy to see katara and sokka as overeacting to her suggestion to let zuko train aang, but the only time the fire nation actively affected her family or her living situation was when azula wouldn’t let them sleep that one week. I don’t think toph was actually ever aware of the full extent of the damage the fire nation had inflicted on the world - I think if she had been, her demeanor would have been much angrier than how she was portrayed. because of the above, there never was any real reason for toph to hate zuko without having ever met him, and for the same reasons she is not really affected by the others’ horror at iroh having approached them to save zuko.

It’s just interesting how the avatar universe portrays privilege in this particular situation and how it affects the opinions and decisions that toph has/makes.

Please reblog if you think that “they/them/theirs” is a valid set of pronouns.

When I was a child, I never felt like a child. I felt like an emperor with a city to burn.

Can someone explain to me why people are boycotting the new Percy Jackson series. I understand that Disney is evil for different reasons, but why does this boycott seem to only happen when talking about Percy Jackson? I am genuinely curious and would love for someone to help me understand. Thanks ✌️

just imagine the batkids telling Bruce he’s delulu

If we're so here to redeem Iroh on his past wrongdoings, then why is a clearly traumatized Native elder considered just pure evil.
