Its an exciting time in the world...

‘kucaklamak isterdi ölümü ve sonsuzu, ölü buldu onu sabah rüzgarı. ölü buldu onu sabah rüzgarı. ölü buldu onu sabah rüzgarı. yamalı bir yıldızdı ilerde ışıyacak, demekle özetliyor: bu dünyada yalnızız, olmadı kimseye lazım, aranmadı, eski bir yara izi sızladı her eğilişinde insanlara, eski bir yara izi sızladı her eğilişinde insanlara, eski bir yara izi sızladı her eğilişinde insanlara, eski bir yara izi sızladı her eğilişinde insanlara, eski bir yara izi sızladı her eğilişinde insanlara, doğduğu günden beri kalbinde bir delik almak için bütün sızıları içine, çare yok dünyadan gideyim gayrı’

İlişki mi yaşıyoruz, dayak mı yiyoruz belli değil.

Zamanımızı geçiriyoruz bu dünyada. Olan bu.

Yatağımın karşısında bir pencere var. Odanın duvarları bomboş. Nasıl yaşadım on yıl bu evde? Bir gün duvara bir resim asmak gelmedi mi içimden? Ben ne yaptım? Kimse de uyarmadı beni. İşte sonunda anlamsız biri oldum. İşte sonum geldi. Kötü bir resim asarım korkusuyla hiç resim asmadım; kötü yaşarım korkusuyla hiç yaşamadım. ☁️ 🌺✨ 🌧️

the avatar, and the last airbender :: an aang meta

I’ve been wanting to write this meta for about six years, and now seems like as good a time as any, so without further ado: Why Aang Sparing Ozai is the Most Important Scene in ATLA, from both a Character and a Thematic Standpoint.

And with that thesis out of the way, let’s go all the way back to the beginning.

Aang is the titular character of the series, two fold. He is both the Avatar, and the last airbender, and it’s these two facets of identity that inform his arc as much as the duality of Zuko’s scar informs his. So why then, is one arc written about and praised endlessly and the former is rather left in the dust, so to speak? 

There’s a few reasons for that, I think. The first is that Zuko is a more traditionally masculine and therefore Western protagonist. He has a more understandable loss, too. People can relate to losing a parent, or to an abusive household. These are traumas and ghosts, the brooding nature, that we are regularly shown in Western media, over and over again. The angry man who lost his wife/daughter/sister. Who does bad things like burning down villages and kidnapping people, but can’t you see that he’s just sad inside? And I’m not saying that’s all Zuko is. There are plenty of subversive things about him, his arc, and his poignant story of overcoming emotional and physical abuse. He is an incredibly important character and deserves all the praise he gets.

I just think Aang is just as noteworthy, and doesn’t get nearly the amount of credit he deserves. Aang is not a traditional Western protagonist at all. He makes jewelry, is vegetarian, loves animals, cries easily, tries to avoid violence, and has a fun loving nature. Many people deride Aang’s behaviour as childish - and sometimes it is - but the best parts of him, his forgiving nature, his fun loving nature and compassion, isn’t because he’s young. They come from him being an Air Nomad. And without those same traits being displayed towards him, Zuko never would have become the character we know and love (but more on that, later).

So yes, as above, Aang’s arc is about the reconciliation of him being the Avatar, and him being the last Airbender. Each part is equally as important as the other. If you can’t understand that, then you don’t understand the show, full stop. 

Okay? Okay.
