[AtLA] The problem with re-watching Avatar is that sooner or later you get to Tales of Ba Sing Se

it's a good problem to have, it's a good kind of hurt

It's so much more upsetting after the first time when you know WHY he's doing everything

Yeah, my youngest sister recently watched the whole series for the first time. Even without knowing why middle sister and I were so devastated by it originally, she admitted it was sad

yeah oof

Yeaaaaaaah I rewatched and just finished the series again this weekend and ooof

oh gods yeah. I very rarely cry with series, let alone tear up, but Tales of Ba Sing Se HURTS so much in multiple ways that the tears come out. Because I believe that was also Mako's (Iroh's voice) final episode before he passed

Every time that show gave me heart pains, it was with that damned, tea-drinking, MAGNIFICENT old man.

And the picture of his lost son was Mako as a young man, juuuust for extra heart pains.

oh ;;

c_for_characters Y E P. The dedication was heartbreakingly beautiful. I learned to play/sing Leaves From the Vine specifically because of that
