I- I Just Can’t Get Over Zuko And His Arc. Everything He Did - Everything - Was Out Of This Insane

I- I just can’t get over Zuko and his arc. Everything he did - everything - was out of this insane drive to prove everyone wrong, to prove that he was worth something, and it amazes me that he never realized just how valuable he already was.

His sister tells him ‘You waste all your time playing with knives. You’re not even good!’ and he masters dual swords.

His sister is a prodigy and he’s told he’ll never catch up. He learns from dragons. He trains the Avatar. He takes her down (with the help of a very skilled waterbender)

He’s left behind by his mother, cast out by his father, hunted by his sister, and Zuko still learns unconditional love.

His father tells him he’s worthless and unloved, that he was ‘lucky to be born,’ and he becomes a man that the world is proud of.

Anything his family said to him, he managed to turn around and build on it. He thrived on it, exploded from it, turned all the negativity into a positive path and it’s just… it’s amazing.

There’s just no end to my love for this character. No fucking end.

Bonus: The weak, banished prince has fangirls for all the ages. Take that, Ozai.

probably the worst thing ive realized from being any part of the hamilton fanbase is that the fanbase really prioritizes the pieces of work created by white fans. hamilton is literally about putting people of color into the narrative, but white fans are still favored by a majority of the fanbase, and the same 3-4 big name white fans who have strayed so far from the actual musical that they admit to barely listening to it anymore are what drove so many poc out of the fanbase. hell, it’s not even that white fans produce better content or that there’s more of them or that they have more of the means to do so, it’s just that this fandom treats fans of color so poorly even though hamilton is for them. there’s literally been like one big name fan of color and that was galactibun who y’all treated like shit and forced into remaking like 3 times. it’s so transparent that even in the fanbase for a musical FOR people of color, white fans are still the driving force and get to speak for us. once again poc are put on the back burner in something that was meant for them and the fact that a bunch of people will unfollow me for saying this really proves my point.
