god i love fallible characters, but specifically zuko in the catacombs. choosing his sister over his uncle just to get to sleep in his childhood bed again. earning katara's kindness and empathy and stripping it all away in minutes because he ached for the familiar. fighting on the wrong side of history just to see his father smile with pride. knowing he could have done the right thing, but what is being good when you could be terrible but loved.
happy fathers day to the best dad in the world !!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
LOVE THIS! (Headcanon that all the Gaang start calling Iroh “Uncle” at some point. Zuko finally becomes okay with it.)
writer brain is like “what if this story was a metaphor for grief”
no babes what if this story was finished first
What if the real grief was the writing we didn't do along the way
non-writers will never understand the mental illness of writing an entire conversation in your head while doing dishes and then forgetting every word the second you open a blank doc
The children yearn for 22 episode seasons
i feel like shipping shouldn’t be about which ship is morally or narratively or thematically ‘better’ but more about which one makes you want to throw up and write fics and jump about and make playlists and talk to people about it like the need to scream into a pillow about a random rarepair is more valuable to me than thinking about if they’ve even met
THAT was real Internet prime, prove me wrong!

Thought this might help others who struggle when writing. I know I get in my head too much.
