Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

People need to stop making fun of Zuko and his emo. His acting really gets to me when he's really hurting. When he was roaring at that storm, you could really *feel* the emotion. I like when Zuko acts his age. No matter how pissy and arrogant he can be, he's still an angry, hurt teenager deep down. I do hope the poor dear doesn't fry himself on that mountain top.

People also need to stop bitching at Toph. She's bitchy because her element is earth. She's tough like the earth. It is natural for those associated with the earth to be strong-willed and not easily deterred from their path. The earth is not a giving element like water and air. Nor is it destructive like fire. It simply stands its ground, as Toph tells us throughout the episode. Now I know where Haruka (and my Erik) get it. Heh.

I guess I can use this view to re-examine Katara as well. The reason she's so dynamic could be the contribution of her element. Water is always changing and can easily go from a gentle brook to the fierce rapids, depending where you stand. I can forgive her sudden burst in power if I relate it back to this idea of the inability to truly predict the path of water. I hope it's a view that might be applied ot Sokka too, if only for just a short while.

As for Zuko, his element puts him in the danger of being quickly burnt out. Fire can easily take down almost anything, but once it eats up all its oxygen and material sources, it doesn't have much left. I would also argue with the one firemaster's views that all fire does is destroy. What about the heat used to cauterize wounds? What about the heat used to keep people alive during the cold nights? What about the trees that only release their seeds when bathed in flames? Fire is vicious but without it, change oculd not occur. On that note, I just love the idea of having lightning be a purer form of fire since its more precised and contained.


And now back to the overprotective stalker and his pantless charge. Oh Fakir, how I love you. Let me count the ways.

OMG! Ninja-Zuko rocks! I couldn't believe my random prediction for the episode was right. I need to review this and past episodes on fangirl_crack today. So giddy happy about Aang wanting to be Zuko's friend. (NO, not that way!) Though, I admit that I secretly was hoping Zuko would suffer a horrendous injury and have to be taken care of by Aang and group. I want those archers too. All of them.

Need to go interviewing again. Maybe then I catch snag Batman Begins for the second time around. I need to watch this episode of Avatar again. Also probably should rewatch Loveless since I was too angry yesterday for it to really sink in. I'm liking Ritsuka a lot more now that he's getting stronger emotionally. He just needs to stop wearing those fluffy gay coat.

Much love to teh camp for turning my frown upside down. Shinn needs to stop being so mean to Kira. What did he ever do to him? But yay for Raito being undead.
