Just a small man with a large library and a taste for drama across ATLA and ASOIAF universes.

This is a fascinating what if, precisely because of the possibilities, these are some of them. (Thread 🧵)

If Sokka and Katara didn't free Aang from ice when do you think he was going to be freed?.!

was Aang and the Air Nomad philosophy of "all life is sacred" actually a psychological safety valve to prevent the most dangerous benders on the planet from realizing how easily they could end everyone else? #avatarandthelastairbender

@Uc_heyy02 Calling Grey Worm a "zero character" guy? That’s a cold take, even for you You have to remember, this man was kidnapped as a child, castrated, and had his humanity beaten out of him until he was nothing but a weapon. The problem wasn't the "guy" it was the pacing.

Missandei deserved better writing, especially her romance. I mean she’s too beautiful to be punished with the Greyworm guy who had zero character

I’d argue Wan being a thief was actually his greatest asset. A "Hero" would have followed the rules of the Lion Turtles. A thief had the audacity to steal the power of the gods because he was hungry. Without that "thief's" desperation, the Avatar would never have existed.

🧚@paloma_datgirl

Hot take: Each Avatar started as exactly what the world didn’t need at the time.Wan was a thief when the world needed a hero,Rokku was a friend when the world needed an authority figure,Aang was a mediator when the world needed a warrior,and Korra was a superhero when the world needed a diplomat.

@christ621ml We shouldn't underestimate the commoners. The Fire Nation citizens aren't stupid. They knew the Princess was... unwell.

Why were there no civilians at Azula's Coronation?

@OmoAlade007 You’re talking about a woman whose primary negotiation tactic was "I will move the entire continent away from you so I don't have to look at your face." Think of The Stare she'll first give him/her

What do you think Avatar Kyoshi would do if she caught her husband cheating on her?

Olenna Tyrell is basically what Azula would have become if she had lived to be 80 and focused on trade instead of fire-bending. Both understood that fear is a tool, but only Olenna knew how to hide it behind a sharp tongue. "Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me."

@Uc_heyy02 They were Afraid of her Tyrion wanted a bloodless victory, Now, imagine Olenna at the head of that table. Olenna didn't care about "the common people" in the way a poet does, only results "The lords of Westeros are sheep. Are you a sheep? No. You’re a dragon. Be a dragon."

Dany’s advisors stayed making some of the worst calls in the entire show except Missandei, Grey Worm, and Olenna. If Olenna had been in her corner from the start, she would’ve won sooner and done a lot less damage.

@emmywayne64 If we are talking about unadulterated "Epic" scale? Aang vs ozai makes Korra vs Zaheer look like a bar fight Even though it was too clean for my liking

Emmanuel@emmywayne64·1d

Which fight was more epic??

@anime_daily You can survive a thousand swords on a battlefield, but a single sentence from a sister can leave you bleeding out on the floor.

This is a gamble, To survive koh you need to be as hollow as a poker player. Now, look at Korra. She is many things, a warrior, a hero, a force of nature. But a poker player ? She’s dreadful. If I were her advisor I’d tell her to stay out of the cave and send someone else.

Do you think Korra could’ve survived Koh the Face Stealer?

Paul Nero@bettergetpaul·1d

Which of these scenarios do you think is the most likely?

English

Paul Nero@bettergetpaul·1d

But without Katara there to calm him, he’s a mindless storm of elemental fury. The result? well, this one is just a disaster

@emmywayne64 If they talked for an hour, they’d realize they could conquer the world together. If they talked for two, they’d realize only one of them can sit on the throne at the end. By the third hour, one would be dead and the other would be looking for a cloth to wipe the blood off
