this was the most perfect portrayal i’ve ever seen. omfg. sam’s pause, his breathing, the slow turn, their eyes, the hug, their voices. give them all the awards right now
i wish mai was more loved in the atla fandom like she’s genuinely so awesome and a lot of people refuse to see that bc they always say she’s boring and grumpy. okay?? just say you don’t like nuanced characters and go! i want more content of my girl
this will always be top 3 kataang moments ever for me, seeing aang be so emotionally open and vulnerable with katara after being so closed off and hopeless over losing appa, and crediting that regaining of hope to HER and the love that reminded him of HER
it’s why i adore mai, she’s loves fiercely but she also has self-respect 😭 she not finna stay if she doesn’t like how she’s been treated and that’s real asf. we love a lover girl with self-respect
