I just realized, literally now: Zuko might be autistic. He does a lotta autistic things, is famous for having difficulty with small talk, is hyperfixated to a degree few others would be, and just feels autistic This is of course not to say you have to think he's autistic - your Zuko can be anything - ThreadSky

I'm just autistic, and I can sometimes recognize autism in other characters, but usually years or decades after I see a series, and of course, autism is 5% of the population, it's a very wide spectrum of individuals.

Also has a strong point of standing up to inequity. Speaking up to the fatherlord imho speaks volumes too, but also him understanding people in Ba Sing Se when working the tea shop. He knows in his heart what is right, even becoming the Blue Spirit when necessary.

I think the Blue Spirit is more about his own ambitions than what is right, his aims when he becomes the Blue Spirit are still benefiting him a lot, but really badass.

I watched the Ozai Zuko confrontation during the eclipse irl - SO EPIC <3

In the background, of course - the apex of the eclipse is SO AWEOME - you NEED to see totality

You're definitely making a rewatch very compelling. I watched Zuko join the gaang in S3 last month for fun, and I definitely need to rewatch the whole thing. XD

(Curiously, I know a fun fact that people hate the episode The Casymn... I actually love it. Just a really minor note about my life, isn't that curious?)

The Casymn? I'm not sure I'm familiar with that episode title, and suspect it's a typo?

I've rewatched it twice - it's a good series, well worth the rewatch to see things you never noticed before.
