pass it on
After the war when Zuko tells everyone everything that happened when he went back to the Fire Nation, ‘Ty Lee needs help untangling her braid’ becomes everyone’s excuse for getting someone out of the room.
Katara wants to spend time with Aang but Sokka’s there? “Ty Lee needs help untangling her braid”
Sokka found a really big bug in his room and he needs Suki to get rid of it, but Aang won’t leave? “Ty Lee needs help untangling her braid”
One day Azula wants to talk to Zuko alone, but he’s with Ty Lee so Azula looks her dead in the eye and says “Ty Lee needs help untangling her braid”
Ty Lee just nods and says “sounds serious” and leaves
This is Zuko's first sword fighting lesson, change my mind!
Aka tiny "let me be good at something Azula isn't" Zuzu making his Mom proud and driving Master Piandao crazy.
If there’s anything Iroh misses about his time as crown prince, it’s getting to roast his little brother at any given moment
(Also this sort of pertains to my own headcanon (vaguely inspired by the comics) that Ursa is a proficient dancer, and often performs for big celebrations)
Deep deep deeeeeeep down, buried under layers of "DONE" and existential crisis, I'm sure our lieutenant cares about the teen toddler. I mean tyrant. I mean---

Atla Gen Week 2022.
Day 2: Culture.
The Fire Nation has some strange and extreme customs. Some just.
[ID: Mini comic with four vignette in monochromatic magenta.
In the first vignette, teenage Azula, Zuko and Lu Ten walking uphill toward a volcano. The setting is tropical and the three are seen from the back. Azula says “Since the last eruption of that volcano 50 years ago, new species of plants continue to be found”, Lu ten replies “Excellent! It is an opportunity to see first hand what is there”, and Zuko mentions “Who knows, we might find some hallucinogenic mushrooms that I’m missing”.
In the second vignette, Zuko and Azula are shown in the foreground observing some mushrooms on some rocks with other plants. Azula says “I don’t think you have those in your collection, Zuzu” and Zuko adds “I had never even seen this mushroom before”.
In the third vignette, Lu Ten quickly snatches the mushroom from the rock and chews it, saying “For science!”, while Zuko and Azula look scared and surprised yelling “Lu Ten, no!!”.
In the fourth vignette, there is a note in the Recipe Book that says “An investigation after the incident with the Fire Lord Lu Ten, the use of that mushroom was allowed as an ingredient for an exotic culinary sauce, which properly prepared and depending on its concentration, its effects vary from sweating to hallucinogenic visions”.

@atla-gen-week
“You killed him?!” Aang shouted. “What about forgiveness? You said-“
“I never said anything!” Katara glared. “Forgiveness may work for you, Aang, but I never said it would for me.”
Aang turned towards Zuko with rage plain on his face. “Zuko, how could you let her?”
Zuko’s eyes narrowed. “I didn’t ‘let her’ do anything. It was her decision.”
“So you’re really okay with Murder?” Aang glared.
“He was a murderer first.” Zuko reminded. “He slaughtered hundreds- thousands even- and you’re really saying things would be better if he were still around? That Katara is just as bad as him?”
“Murder is wrong.” Aang scoffed. “No matter how you justify it-”
“My mother killed my grandfather,” Zuko said gravely.
Aang’s eyes widened. “What does that have to do with anything?”
“It means that women usually have reasons for killing men. And most of the time, those reasons are noble.” Zuko clarified. “But I do find it telling that you think Katara is unable to make her own choices and needs to rely on the permission of a man to justify her actions.”
“I never said-”
“No?” Zuko questioned. “Then why are you asking me about her decisions when Katara has been here this entire time and can speak for herself?”
Fire lord Zuko being just a bit ferrel . And his music taste is no different
At his coronation. Some of his surviving crew Start a sea shanty. Coz though he pretends he hates them they know he loves them.
There’s a moment of tense quiet when all the upperclass look at the new fire lord shocked at sutch a scandal. To see what he’ll do, expecting him to be angry . Only for Zuko ( who in his defence is still on a lot of pain meds ) to join in enthusiastically knowing all the words .
He also likes a lot of angry “ down with the fire lord” music that he Hurd in the earth kingdom. Witch is problematic since he now is said leader. He once took a protest completely off guard coz they were expecting a fight but Instead he told them to carry on coz he liked that song .
