The fact that both of zukos abusers used lightning against zuko and instead of learning to use lightning himself like he could have he learned how to redirect the lightning and let it pass through him and then straight clean out of him… Do you ever think about how that is literally physically representing how instead of absorbing his father and sisters abuse he lets it pass through him and instead of soaking it in and letting it destroy him he redirects it away from himself… I just want some peace in my life

and if you think it’s a coincidence that he learns the technique from the one and only person who was there for him when he was publicly mutilated by his own father and thrown out like fucking garbage you are sadly mistaken
