Well just give them your business card

i'm actually pretty glad that the supernatural isn't more commonplace and normalized in our society because can you imagine walking through the wrong door at work and getting stuck in a labyrinth in another dimension for 50 years only to come back and find out it doesn't count as overtime

The reasoning behind why Iroh choose a doll for Azula, from a colonial perspective

irl, colonizers and other dominant groups made dolls of minorities to assert their hegemony and subjugate them, often using stereotypes e.g. https://www.ferris.edu/HTMLS/news/jimcrow/links/essays/toys.htm

These toys were also used to indoctrinate children into particular cultural values or racist ideas. This might be the purpose of Azula's doll. It might be made in EK or FN colonies. Either way, it may represent the colonized EK female, symbolizing women the colonizer can own and objectify. It fits the stereotype of the pretty EK girl from Iroh's song. That might be the message of the doll.

If so, this wouldn't make it better that Iroh gave Azula the doll not the knife. But it shows his chauvinist and sexist thinking that he would use the doll to say: FN women, you can be imperialists too! (just not by fighting or being ruler, that's for boys only).
