the big flaily I LOVE AVATAR post
I started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender back in December, and promised myself I could finish it after I finished That Damn Paper.
That Damn Paper is finished, and so last week I watched the second two seasons of Avatar within the space of about four days. (Look, eating and sleeping I was willing to eschew, but I had to go to work sometimes. Luckily some of my colleagues are even bigger dorks than I am. ♥)
Anyway I finally finished watching and it is PRETTY MUCH THE BEST THING EVER. Below the cut are some of my favorite lines and flaily real-time reactions to individual episodes.
Book 1: Water
Ep. 4: “Relax, Sokka. Where we’re going, you won’t need any pants!” ...They’re going to Johnny’s Jimusho? XD D’awww, bickering.
Ep. 8: “We got into the Fire Nation! ...great...” I love Sokka.
Ep 14: “Can your science explain why it rains?” “YES! YES IT CAN!!!” Sokka’s life is so hard.
“Take care, Meng!” “Take care! ...floozy.” LMAO. It’s little beats like this that make it so good.
“No nephew of mine is going to stow away on a ship without some backup!” ILU UNCLE IROH!
Book 2: Earth
I LOVE UNCLE IROH SO MUCH.
ZUKO: I want my honor back! I want my throne! I want my father not to think I’m worthless!
UNCLE IROH: I’m sure he doesn’t think that! Why would he banish you if he didn’t care?
ZUKO: *sob*
UNCLE IROH: Okay, that came out wrong.
ep. 2: OH MY GOD IT’S AVATARVERSE!GUITAR DUDE
SOKKA: Labyrinth? CURSE?!?!
Sokka's life is so hard.
ep. 3: I LOVE AZULA, AND HATERS CAN SEE THE DOOR. Need a special elite stealth force? Call on your boarding school chums!
ep. 5: SOKKA: Boomerang! You DO always come back! ♥
ep. 6: TOPH!!!!!
ep. 7: WOOBIE ZUKO. Seriously, he's so woobie that if this were a jdrama, he'd be played by Ikuta Toma.
ep. 8: yeah team TOPH & IROH! AHAHAHAHA Mexican standoff! THREE-WAY FIGHT! KATARA! And Sokka. Heh. WHAT UNCLE IROH NOOOOOO
ep. 9: YAY, Uncle Iroh. “I know what you’re going to say: she’s my sister, and I should be trying to get along with her.” “No. She’s crazy and needs to go down.” SOKKA THE MEAT AND SARCASM GUY ;alksdjfal;ksdjfal;skjals;jsda;d
ep. 15: Uncle Iroh: “What are you doing?” “I’m mugging you.” “With that stance?” MUGGING: UR DOIN IT WRONG.
Book 3: Fire
ep. 5: “Well that sounds really shallow and stupid... Let’s try it!” Could I love Azula any more?
Apparently so. “Our mother thought I was a monster. She was right, of course, but it still hurt.” ILU AZULA!
ep. 6: HOSHIT BACK STORY!
ep. 14: YESSSSSSSSSS ZUKO AND SOKKA SHENANIGANS. THIS IS EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER WANTED.
“Well, I did have a girlfriend.” Burrrrrrn.
“My first girlfriend turned into the MOON.” OH SNAP!
ep. 18: “Get over here, Zuko. Being part of the group means also being part of group hugs!”
“I am not Toph! I am MELON LORD! MUA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
“What? Everyone else went on a life-changing field trip with Zuko. Now it’s my turn!”
ep. 21: “My... space... sword...” awwww, poor Sokka.
GO KATARA GO! ♥
