Reasons why I do not blame Lucy for casting the "spells" and when she takes advantage of her siblings, and fully understand her actions, even if they are sort of extreme:


1. Lincoln and the rest of his sisters have not been paying attention to Lucy and walk all over her like being too hung up with their own activities to listen to her and so forth.

2. Lucy only did this just to teach her siblings a lesson about how it feels to be ignored and walked all over aside from casting "spells".

3. Lucy's actions are not done out of malice nor ill will even when she wanted to get back at her siblings for ignoring her, explaining her regret upon seeing her siblings' plight. Therefore, I do not really consider Lucy's actions to be her "misdeeds", just misguided, yet still understandable, actions.


Aside from those, Lucy taking advantage of her siblings also remains one of her funniest moments in the series (ignoring the siblings' reactions since they were largely unaware).

What are your thoughts on this moment from Avatar: The Last Airbender? For me, it's both an impactful (and difficult to watch) moment.



After turning on Ozai for his cruel treatment of him (and accepting that Iroh is more of a father to him), Zuko, now with the intent of finally setting things right and redeem himself for his past mistakes, seeks to join Aang and his friends to fulfill Aang's need for a firebending teacher (an idea that Aang is initially hesitant about due to accidentally burning Katara beforehand), although he needs to prove to them first that his change of heart is now genuine. Unfortunately for Zuko, this proves to be easier said than done due to his past actions, which make it difficult for Aang, Katara and Sokka to accept the fact that Zuko has now truly changed for the better.

When Zuko does try to sincerely apologize for his past actions and explain himself (all while revealing his intent at being Aang's firebending teacher), he is immediately greeted with extreme hostility and intense suspicion from Katara and Sokka, who list all of Zuko's past misdemeanors and inconsistent actions, while Aang can only be emotionally conflicted upon learning that it was Zuko who saved Appa, who happily licks Zuko in gratitude (although both Katara and Sokka refuse to believe Zuko's claim, assuming that he only did it for his own benefit). Toph, on the other hand, is able to sense that Zuko was being honest and sincere with his apologies (and that he actually saved Appa) and is the only one who actually listens.

As Zuko continues his awkward attempt to apologize, he accidentally reveals that he was the one who sent the Fire Nation assassin, Combustion Man, after Team Avatar to kill them. This revelation intensifies Team Avatar's (except for Toph) ire and distrust towards Zuko and further solidifies their view that he is still an enemy (with Aang, despite Zuko's desperate attempt to remind Aang of their past connection and help him recall his previous offer that they could be friends, ultimately choosing to reject Zuko after being swayed by Katara and Sokka's vehement opposition, as well as his emotional bias), before furiously rejecting Zuko and demanding him to leave, ignoring Zuko's pleas that he is no longer the "Prince Zuko" they viewed him as. Fully understanding how his actions have deeply wounded Aang, Katara and Sokka and how he gave them little to no reason to trust him (especially for betraying them in Ba Sing Se, which he deeply regrets having done), Zuko is left with no other option but to retreat.



I feel really bad for Zuko in this part. We do see him as a tragic and conflicted character with painful internal struggles at finding the right path and he now truly has changed, meaning he is now willing to make up for all of his previous actions and change for the better. Zuko is additionally in his most vulnerable state yet since he is now all alone and without his uncle, Iroh, on his side (and that his firebending powers also have gradually weakened). Aang, Katara and Sokka, however, do not get to see Zuko's internal struggles and character development, and only saw him as a relentless pursuer and adversary, though their initial inability to see past his actions also served as a main obstacle for their necessity at getting a firebending teacher, which Toph, who is the only one who vouched for Zuko and defended him, pointed out. While Aang, Katara and Sokka's rejection of Zuko is completely justified (as well as serving as a direct consequence for his previous actions), I still cannot help but sympathize with Zuko and agree with Toph and her assessment that Aang, Katara and Sokka are, indeed, letting their negative experiences and distrust towards Zuko cloud and affect their judgment.

Whose actions are more understandable, even if their actions are extreme?



(I honestly would not blame all of them and their actions, especially in the last option)

What are your thoughts in this moment from Gravity Falls?



For me, it was a genuinely emotional moment, and I feel terribly sorry for Wendy during this moment. Once Dipper manages to expose Robbie's lies to Wendy (which he admits having stole the song and passed it off as his own), a devastated and emotional Wendy, furious at Robbie's lies and having pushed too far, breaks up with Robbie and immediately after this breakup, Dipper, failing to consider Wendy's pain due to his desire to hang out with her, makes a mistake by asking her out instead of comforting her. In a moment of her intense emotional pain and understandably angry with Dipper for his insensitivity, Wendy snaps at Dipper, accusing him, as well as the others, for being selfish and being more concerned about their own interests than her well-being, before telling telling them to leave her alone and run off in tears, causing Dipper to realize his mistake and feel ashamed.

What are your thoughts on this moment from Avatar: The Last Airbender? For me, It's probably debatable whose side should I root for during this sequence.



Aang, Katara and Sokka's distrust and negative experiences towards Zuko are entirely justified given the fact that he has been their relentless pursuer and that he had betrayed their trust in Ba Sing Se during the episode "The Crossroads of Destiny", with Aang almost dying in the process (which was particularly traumatic for Katara, causing her to resent Zuko), but what Toph said about them letting their prejudice cloud their judgment was also true because Aang, Katara and Sokka are somehow also letting their negative history towards Zuko affect their thinking and their need to achieve their plan (which is Aang's need of a firebending teacher before Sozin's Comet arrives, an idea of which Aang was hesitant about after accidentally hurting Katara during his attempt at firebending before). Therefore, Aang, Katara and Sokka only view Zuko as a relentless enemy, but are largely unaware of his tragic past, his noble intentions, and his internal transformation. Largely because they are too focused on their negative experiences towards Zuko to listen to Toph and their plan, Aang, Katara and Sokka fail to consider having Toph use her lie-detecting abilities to Zuko to ensure if he truly was being sincere, partly due to Toph's seismic senses failing on Azula due to her being a master manipulator and expert liar.

While Toph has no prior negative history towards Zuko (something of which she does acknowledge), her ability to sense lies and her heartfelt conversation with Iroh allows her to deduce that Zuko was being sincere with his pleas and was not lying. Although Aang, Katara and Sokka are highly skeptical and overlook her statements, Toph practically (and reasonably) argues that they are letting their negative experiences towards Zuko cloud their judgment (which is essentially true), and tries to defend Zuko by reminding her friends that there are bigger stakes that they need to focus than their own personal feelings towards Zuko and that he is likely the only feasible option for Aang's firebending teacher, but she becomes frustrated when Aang adamantly refuses to let Zuko teach him (with Katara and Sokka siding with him for his decision), and they dismiss her further, prompting an angry Toph to storm off from the discussion (while calling them out by wondering who really is the "blind" one) to go find Zuko herself and prove them wrong. Even after Zuko accidentally burned her feet, Toph's perspective of him remains unchanged and knows what he did was an accident, not out of malice (while also acknowledging her role in the incident), which is also overlooked by her friends and they used this incident as "proof" that Zuko could never be trusted.

Toph's statements about Zuko's intentions, including her claims that Aang, Katara and Sokka are letting their prejudice cloud their judgment, ultimately proved to be correct because Zuko did prove his loyalty and willingness to change after saving them from Combustion Man, the same assassin that he hired to kill them (although it would take much time for Zuko to fully gain Team Avatar's trust and acceptance of him, namely Katara and Sokka due to their past trauma still weighing heavily on them), and that even completely understandable personal feelings can affect judgment in critical situations. Thus, while I completely understand that Aang, Katara and Sokka's distrust towards Zuko is essentially valid, I am more likely to agree with Toph and her assessment that Zuko's change of heart was truly genuine and sincere and root for her.
