i like really need an fma atla au where we have fire nation soldier mustang and his merry band of crazy people (maes would totally be part of the white lotus society) with winry & rockbells as a waterbender healers and izumi an earthbending master and ed and al one of the last of a slowly dying air nomad tribe

and mustang has been sent to destroy the last of these people and he’s about to fucking succeed when this crazy golden airbender throws fire at him and fuck the air tribe roy just found the avatar 

and al is like BROTHER and that’s how ed leads roy on a merry chase across the four nations while slowly mastering the four elements even though all he and his brother really wants to do is study chemistry until their eyes bleed and this bending business is kind of getting the way of that

but roy is mostly concerned with getting ed to dispose of crazy fire lord bradley and when he can finally get a moment to talk to ed where they’re not fighting (and there has actually been lots of moments of not fighting, lots of moments of fighting other people together, and doing things with and for each other that mortal enemies aren’t supposed to do) and he explains this and ed is like wtf your problems are not my problems and roy is like you’re the AVATAR you need to do something and they have this big fight about it

but ed with some coaxing from al is like fucking fine i’ll help defeat your evil fire lord and put you on the throne why the fuck not but you gotta teach me firebending first because i know jack shit

roy is a terrible teacher and ed is a terrible student and they argue all the time and maes is already making wedding plans and it would be GREAT okay

Sokka once had a sexist attitude (The Water Tribe were traditional with gender roles because it was “the natural order of things”) but after being humbled by Suki and her fellow Kyoshi Warriors, he began to see women as equals and developed a newfound respect for them. 

A++++ Character Development

  # OH MAN I CAN GO ON AND ON WITH THIS ONE    # but this is my favorite character arc    # the first five minutes of this show already mentioned the word ‘sexist’    # I knew it was going to be special    # and its a girl calling out her brother that he’s an idiot    # his sexism stems from ignorance    # and the viewers get to understand WHY he was sexist    # he grew up in a environment where the men were warriors    # but he never (and the series never showed) female water tribe warriors    # his father entrusted him to look after the tribe and his sister    # he doesn’t think men are better than women    #but rather he believed there are certain things women at good at (feminine activities like sewing and men are good at (masculine activities    # imagine katara had to go put up with this bullshit    # she calls him out but does he listen? no    # because he’s stubborn and people tend to not listen to their family members    # so he needed someone very special to smack that sexism out his system    # Suki made him a better person    # after being outmatched by this superior warrior    # he HUMBLES himself and took his humiliation an opportunity to learn from someone who is clearly more skilled    # and then he APOLOGIZES his behavior    # again Suki teaches him another lesson when he said ‘I treated you like a girl when I should have treated you like a warrior’

Yeah I mean I couldn’t agree more when it comes to this…that the WORD “SEXIST” APPEARS IN THIS SHOW AT ALL let alone in THE FIRST MINUTE of in-narrative dialogue is exceptional.

I firmly believe that Katara’s instant, prodigious mastery of Waterbending reaffirms this development, as does Sokka’s unerring friendship with the incomparable Toph Beifong.

ATLA WAS A MASTERPIECE

I MEAN KATARA FUCKING DESTROYED THE WATERTRIBE PATRIARCHY AT THE END SEASON 1
