element-of-change:

i hope none of you Avatar fans forget how amazing The Puppetmaster ep is

like one of the single-ep, one-off villains the creators wrote for the Fire Nation arc was a Waterbender who ripped water from flowers and trees and exploded them, bloodbended people into underground prisons like…

you all do realize this is the first and only real Water villain in the ATLA series

and they introduced her as a sadistic vengeful fuck who destroyed nature/the environment, tortured and imprisoned innocents…

which is exactly what we’ve seen the Fire Nation do throughout the entire series, which is exactly what everyone despises theM FOr!!!! aaaaaah

and the GAang met her while TRAVELING THROUGH THE FIRE NATION because that’s where she was incognito enacting her twisted private revenge

and on top of all this SHE’S THE FRAILEST OLD WOMAN WE EVER SEE ON THE SHOW

yet she manages to compete with the strongest Waterbender in the world of the next generation, Katara

and fucks up everyone’s shit with her unique puppet-based style of Bloodbending- oh yeah the fucking first style of Bloodbending because she also happened to invent that shit
