Thoughts on how the Sun Warriors' cultural hairstyle is used as a symbol of shame within the Fire Nation

I always found it extremely interesting that the only other characters who share Zuko's signature s1 shaved phoenix tail hairstyle are the Sun Warriors, an indigenous firebending civilization that completely isolated themselves off from the rest of society due to the world's rapid industrialization and loss of spiritualism during the Roku era (an issue especially prevalent in the Fire Nation).

So I find this interesting that their signature cultural hairstyle is being used within the Fire Nation (a fellow firebending civilization) as a mark of shame, a symbol of banishment and dishonor. I personally believe that this specific hairstyle was intentionally co-opted and made synonymous with dishonor during Sozin's rule as a deliberate act of othering and direct insult to the Sun Warriors and their spiritual beliefs as well as cultural teachings surrounding firebending, similarly to how dancing (especially as a firebending technique) was completely stigmatized as well.

huge wall of text incoming

okay!!! hello everyone who has decided to follow me :D im so glad ur here, i love reading ur comments & tags on ur reblogs and stuff <3

first two images are a comic of Zuko & Aang's first meeting. This takes place only a few moments after Aang is freed from the ice berg. After this meeting, Zhao docks at a small island & Aang makes his escape, freeing Zuko, who vanishes before the fight is even over.

Character designs! I still have to do Jet & the Freedom fighters, but since they don't show up for a long time, I didn't feel the need to right now. Ty-Lee, Iroh, Ozai, and Zhao.

Captain Yue (and her Pirate crew, nearby) find Aang's ice berg (crashing into it), but unfortunately, Zhao's ship was alerted of their position by the large beam of light it produced.

OKAY for everyone who said they loved small details, here's some small details!

when Aang turns 16, he and Gyatso are summoned to the Western Air temple, which is closest to the fire nation (and the northern water tribe). Aang overhears Gyatso talking to the elders here.

"We have brought you to this temple for a reason. There is war upon us. Firelord Sozin has kept his promise from four years ago. He is launching an attack on the Earth Kingdom tonight. The Avatar must kill him before this war progresses." Gyatso lements that he is not ready, nor should he go against his nature to kill someone. The monks decide that he is not the right teacher for Aang-- queue Aang running away & freezing himself.

The spirit world is gonna work a little differently. I know that when Zhao killed the moon spirit in the original show, the moon went dark & everything lost color. Those side effects don't happen.

Yue brings Appa back to Aang after he's captured by Zhao. Unfortunately, being captain of her own ship, she doesn't go with him.

Aang's favorite food is still Egg Custard Tart :)

Blue, for some reason (WE know why), knows Air Nomad sign language, which he and Aang use to communicate often. I came up with that, and then I read a fanfiction with an author who had the same idea !!! Username on ao3 is Southwest_trickster, I believe.

Aang and Blue reunite through a shared interest in stopping night time crime in a small village off the coast of North Azulon, and Aang gets a bit of a rock chucked at his head. Aang doesn't know that Blue's been trailing him for days.

Blue doesn't want to unmask to Aang for many reasons. The most obvious, at least to him, is that Aang will hate him for who he is. His lineage caused everything that's happened to the World, including the Air Nomad Genocide, and now Aang must fix it all. Another reason is the Fire Nation is sort of wanting him dead or alive.

p.s here's my ao3 account: (i'll post this au there eventually, but i have one other fic there rn, unrelated) https://archiveofourown.org/users/buncly13
