In terms of shipping, I haven't really given it much thought tbh. Ever since I was younger, I've always kinda just followed with what the ships were. I think Aang+Katara are cute, and I think Zuko+Mai are cute, and I think Sokka+Suki are cute too. With that said, OUTSIDE of the original series, my opinion varies a bit... I started to question Aang+Katara due to LOK, where season 2 really delves into them as parents... I feel like the two of them should've had more communication, given their history together and everything they went through. I doubt Katara would've stood idly by and just watched as Aang acted like Bumi and Kya didn't exist, which leads me to believe that she likely did talk with him about not favoring Tenzion just because he happened to be an air-bender. If that really did happen, then Aang kind of just ignored her and kept doing it, you know? And that kind of bothers me because it's reminiscent of the mentally/emotionally abusive relationship my parents had. We never do find out what happened between Sokka+Suki, so I can't really comment there. As for Zuko+Mai, I know that they break up in the comics, and it's this whole comic dedicated to them breaking up and whatever, but I still think they have the healthiest relationship of everyone in the show (and it's confirmed that they get back together, even though the comics don't show that detail). Firstly, they grew up together; they have a deeply rooted history, and they really understand one another. Secondly, sure, they argue and fight here and there, but every healthy relationship is going to have it's spats and rough patches. It shows that they're imperfect human beings, and every time they fight, it generally leads them to being better communicators with one another. Thirdly, they're older and more mature when they start dating; aka, they're teenagers, which is generally the acceptable age for dating given that we have a better grasp of who we are (as compared to pre-teens and kids, at least). Fourthly, they clearly love one another despite everything that happens, and they kept coming back to one another willing to give things another go. I know a lot of people would probably list this one as being toxic or whatever, but personally, I don't see it as toxic in THIS specific instance. They break up, sure, but then they grow (even if only the slightest bit, as in this episode) and learn about themselves, and THEN they come back and give it another try. If they were just breaking up, not growing/maturing in the slightest, and getting back together again, then yeah, I'd deem that as being toxic. So that's where I stand in terms of the shipping in ATLA.

Love seeing a different side to the fire nation gang & when she's not staging military attacks Azula is so funny. Omg I never even thought of the ending image being like a new painting to replace the one that was burnt 😭. As for shipping its complicated for me but I'll try to explain myself - . While I enjoy Zuko x Katara I'm not nearly as into it as I was when I was younger (also not a big fan of how some shippers go out of thier way to make Aang seem terrible, instead of just a traumatised kid with flaws who's dealing with a lot, in order to make Zuko, who also has a ton of big flaws, out to be the perfect option for Katara) . . Katara x Aang are cute but a bit bassic to me (+ with Aang's youthful appreance & personality vs Katra's more motherly vibe makes thier age difference a little uncomfortable for me despite it only being 2 years) but I think I would still like them more together if certain parts of book 3 had been written differently . Zuko x Mai weren't that bad in the series (like they weren't great communicators but considering the situation they're in & the way they were raised I think that's pretty realstic especially for teens) but the comics sadly made me dislike Mai & especially her relationship with Zuko . Complety fanon but still fun is Mai x Ty-Lee (it'll make more sense later) . Azula x therapy is an obvious choice 😅 . Zuko x Jing (the girl he went on a date with in Ba Sing Sa) is cute as hell & I don't care that she was only in 1 episode . For the sake of showing Iroh some love I'd probably put him with that fortune teller lady . Now Sokka's hard because while he's relationship with Yua is beautifully sad it's so brief that it didn't really give me enough to get attached to + outside of both living in a place covered in ice idk how much they'd actually have to talk about, Suki is a badass & the 2 are super cute together (especially in the comics) but we don't actually get to see her much in the series + we never get to know about her personal life unlike all the other members of team Avatar which leaves her feeling underdeveloped to me & finally while I do find Toph's crush on him adorable she's obviously much too young for him . Ozai x burning in hell is a fravriote of mine of course 🤬 . Jet x not dying is but a sad wish for me 🥺 & finally a guilty pleasure of mine is . Sokka's dad x me coz...well you know 😏

I'm gonna start doing that!!

True lol

Prob one of the main reasons Toph didn't crush his leg, it's a kid's show. that would be graphic. I think....

My siblings and I quote the "Your outfit is so sharp!" quote ALL THE TIME ITS HILARIOUS! A great episode. Book Three has some of the best standalone episodes in the entire series - this one, Sokka's Master, and a later one (Boiling Rock) that are just perfectly paced, help develop the characters, and with beautiful animation.
