    Summary

    In this essay I analyze, and lament, the flattening of moral nuance in the portrayal of Wiress in Sunrise on the Reaping. There will be spoilers throughout.

    This is something I haven't seen talked about a lot, and it appears that readers are really resonating with Wiress's innocence during her Games. I offer a different perspective.

    Summary

    Sokka takes a strategic step back, but he also smiles: triumphant, like he baited Zuko into exactly what he wanted. Like it’s a challenge. It’s the same way he looked when they sized each other up at the prison, with Sokka in chains that left red marks around his wrist, in tattered prison garb, malnourished and angry. Back then, that was Sokka saying: I see your power. I see you. Now, see me.

    Zuko saw him then. And he sees him now; different, but the same. I see you.

    Zuko lights his daos in flame. Sokka grins, back to gravel and heat. “Come on, Fire Lord. Impress me.”

    Zuko burns. His vision flickers with fire. His heart races. His blood sings. His body is like a magnet, pulling ever onward to meet Sokka’s. He advances.

    He pins Sokka to the wall, blades against his throat.

    Or, Zuko found Aang first, Sokka and Katara were imprisoned in Boiling Rock for trying to rescue their dad, and all Sokka knows is he's pretty sure he's not supposed to think the Fire Lord is attractive but he's never let things like rules stop him before.

    Summary

    Sokka did not expect to find an Airbender while fishing with his sister. He did not expect a Fire Nation ship to crash into their village, demanding the Avatar—who just so happened to be the aforementioned Airbender. And he did not expect a hot, sword-wielding, wise-cracking Firebender to not only help them hijack the ship, but then declare that he would be the Avatar’s teacher.

    But when did anything ever go the way Sokka expected it to?

    (OR: Within minutes of its formation, the Gaang encounters a Zuko who has long since begun working against Ozai. This has consequences for just about everyone.)
