I find your lack of whimsy disturbing
I cannot express how much I love how dumb our teenage MCs are. If Denji just said he was looking for Control, the others wouldn't be so quick to dismiss her as dead. If Asa explained the Yoru situation - the scars are physical and nearly everyone there is a fiend, so it wouldn't be a hard sell - that'd prevent the misunderstanding. Normally I hate the miscommunication trope but that's when characters are actually able to communicate better and don't - Asa and Denji are both genuinely dumb and I love that.
The way Hyacinth is one of the youngest of the bunch yet the most observant one

i will always hate that katara never came to terms with her bloodbending. especially given that it’s a symbolic representation of her own “darker” side, the fact that she was never able to find the good in it and accept it as just another aspect of her element, instead outlawing and demonizing it forever, makes me so sad because it perfectly encapsulates the person she herself ended up as: the shallow, shining trophy wife on aang’s arm, locking away everything he didn’t want and was never able to understand to become his perfect, flawless forever girl for the rest of her days.
and it’s so much more frustrating knowing that zuko — who knows exactly what it feels like to wield an element that can be destructive and violent, whose own arc about the duality of fire would have made him the perfect person to help katara understand that there is no such thing as inherently good or evil bending, only the bender who makes it so — was right there! yet instead of letting them have even one conversation about it, we got bloodbending being villainized till the heat death of the fucking universe and katara left forever unable to accept the complexity of her bending (and metaphorically, the complexity within herself) even though she had the exact person she needed right at hand to help and support her through the process… god it just drives me mad
