Giving the artifact to Roku had been Fire Lord Taiso’s idea. “A tangible reminder of where his true loyalties should lie,” Fire Lord Taiso had told Sozin. “A leash, if you will.”
:O
Sozin didn’t fully trust them yet, and that was part of the reason he didn’t reveal more. The other reason he would never admit aloud.
Is this why ur a homophobic bitch
But when message after message went unanswered, the Fire Lord’s disappointment deepened.
Gay depression tbh
And Firebenders who could move the sun.
Whaaaaaaat
his uncanny ability to remember everything he read.
This will be important. 4 finger rib cage
“But make sure it never gets closer than ‘almost.’”
Aw rip
“Please!” begged one of the other Sandbenders—an old man—as he rushed toward Sozin with hands up. “Please don’t hurt my husband!”
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! That line makes this a queer book!
Another hundred years and the entire place would likely be covered by the desert.
wink wink nudge nudge
trying to sound genuinely surprised and concerned.
Me
ROKU, ALONE
Omg???
To be nothing might be a mercy compared to living the rest of his life existing as half of himself.
Until the very end.”
When you leave him to die?
And though a Firebender could learn to heat rock until it transformed to lava, the ability to bend lava belonged to skilled Earthbenders.
Get it, Bolin
He had explained that even though Air Nomads could eat meat when it was offered, he preferred not to.
Ah!
Maybe even some kind of temporary exile until he restored his honor.
Oof
The day Yasu had been swept out to sea, Sozin had sworn to the spirits that he’d protect the remaining brother no matter what.
Then why will you let him die?
“He can’t walk past me without asking if I want to hold his ‘spear.’”
Electric chair
MELON
Melon Lord's grandpa lol
“So, this is your—what do you call it—secret tunnel?”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Gyatso nodded, then embraced Malaya. Her heart filled—it was the first time anyone had ever held her like that.
My heart
As much as the world needed people as soft and kind as him, it also needed the hardened to keep the cruel in check so that the gentle could remain gentle.
They would be so beautiful
And given the type of leader she suspected Sozin was on track to become, she might also be doing future generations a favor.
You don't know the half of it sweetheart
A moment later she was consumed by fire. At least, she thought—in that final moment before excruciating pain overcame her—she had tried.
I hope Gyatso never forgives this
“The only true mistake we make,” Kyoshi finally said, “is not looking within.”
He had never considered forgiveness as a matter of transaction. One forgave by letting something go that might otherwise sever an established relationship.
I like that description
“It’s like we’re standing at the base of a dormant volcano.”
Incredibly insightful- however, this boy talks about volcanoes too damn much. This is why one kills you, sir. Is this what they call dramatic irony? Someone tell me.
