“I’m going to collapse this building and kill everyone in it.”


This man is the most arrogant insane person ever!! No, like, srsly doing all of this for what?? The second she truly learns how to get in and out of the Avatar state perfectly, he's an absolute dead man. With everything he does, he's just making his death all the more terrifying.

“People of all walks, high and low, choose to hurt some and help others,” he said. “I can tell you it’ll only get worse the more you embrace your Avatarhood.”

What Jianzhu was going to do was sit down, alone, behind the remaining table, and wait. He felt stares burning into him from all directions.

“And I’m glad that if my parents couldn’t be with me, they were with you,” she added.

Shortsighted men like Te and Xu were parasites who gnawed at the very structures they exploited for power and survival. They were blind to the fact that they existed not through their own merits but due to the warped form of charity the world had decided to give them. And Xu had exhausted his. Kyoshi was the only thing holding him up.

“It didn’t have to be this way,” he shouted. He punctuated his sentence by sending a third and a fourth blast of lightning pulsing into her body. He intended to cook her corpse beyond recognition. “You had the greatest gift in the world. My respect. And you threw it away. For what?”

I'm pretty sure I remember Kyoshi was the first Avatar to use lighting (im not totally sure). Is that how it happened?

“My father was governor before me. I just acted in accordance with what he taught me. Please!”
That was all anyone in this world did. What they saw their predecessors and teachers do. The Avatar was not the only being who was part of an unbroken chain.


I love this line but it's never an excuse either

“Aging is really just your body falling apart, on the smallest, most invisible levels, and neglecting to put itself back together,” he said. “With the right mental focus, you could take an inventory of your own body and place each little piece that’s not where it should be back into the correct order.”

She did live for 200 something years no?? I didn't just make up that did it?

In the Fire Nation, hair was heavily linked with honor. She’d heard that sometimes the losers of an important Agni Kai would shave parts of their head bald, laying patches of their scalp bare to symbolize an extra level of humility from their defeat, but the topknot was always sacred. It was never touched except in circumstances akin to death.

And I can only think of Zuko right now.
