Spiz: heh, Zhi's rebellion. why is Irana taking it like that?
Pseudo: she's conflicted
Spiz: oh?
Pseudo: on the one hand, she thinks Zhi is incredibly strong and brave in this particular instance, but, on the other hand she doesn't like being put on the spot about confronting Zuko. she doesn't want to confront Zuko. She has a different interpretation of history than her sister, maybe.
Spiz: heheh oh?
Pseudo: she focuses on the aspect of Zuko's banishment where he never intended offense to Ozai when he spoke out in the war room, and how it was out of piety that he refused to fight him and took the fireball to the face and then spent the next three years trying to redeem himself before falling so far that he had to pick a new strategy. ultimately, in her head, you don't disrespect your father until you're given no other choice, and she thinks they're jumping the gun.
Spiz: aah
Pseudo: since they probably didn't get the story directly from him, they've probably all had to guess at how he actually feels about what happened
Spiz: right
Pseudo: and that's her conclusion just from spending so much time with him and what a sentimental, honor-driven person he is.
Spiz: uh huh
Pseudo: she could be wrong, she doesn't know, and like she says, she's young and she's convinced that even if it seems wrong to her, he loves her and his heart is in the right place, so she's willing to suffer and struggle for his sake
Spiz: as far as Zhi is concerned, it is the last straw
Pseudo: Zhi probably feels the pressure more keenly than Irana does, because Zhi is way less spoiled than her sister and they both probably know it.
Spiz: he got to marry someone he loved, Dan Dan got to marry someone she loved, and unless Shaozu, Xi Feng and Li all die in some freak accident, her children aren't even important
Pseudo: lol
Spiz: it shouldn't matter who she's married to
Pseudo: it really shouldn't
Spiz: I think maybe she gets that its a racial thing and it pisses her off
Pseudo: lol
Pseudo: Irana isn't sure what it's about, but she's really more naive than Zhi in some ways. Zhi is very canny.
Spiz: and she's just shocked and appalled that he would even be like that
Spiz: because of Sokka and Dan Dan
Pseudo: right
Spiz: Sokka makes him a hypocrite
Pseudo: Irana is so integrated and has been for such a long time that I don't think racism even occurred to her, she figured it was just sexist.
Spiz:: she doesn't even want to think about what Dan Dan makes him
Pseudo: right
Spiz: lol sexist?
Pseudo: it's okay for guys cause he and Sokka can do it but not for girls because girls have babies. Dan Dan was an accident.
Spiz: aah
Spiz: aah
Spiz: lol Dan Dan is pretty well adjusted for a magic baby whose parentage her mama wanted to hide from the world
Pseudo: lol yes
Spiz: how the hell did Shaozu end up crazy?
Pseudo: that is a damn good question
Pseudo: maybe he's just kinky and repressed
Pseudo: maybe he just needs to jerk off more
Pseudo: or maybe being attracted to her makes him feel so guilty that he's kinda cracky about it
Pseudo: I mean
Pseudo: he's the heir to the throne
Pseudo: he should be more "Fire Nation, huzzah!" than anybody
Pseudo: and he's oogling dark skinned Water Tribe chicks? hoo boy.
