Questionable Questing

How did the comics touch on the issue of fire and Earth nation mixed families? Cultural fusions? Fire nation business and trade and how it is all entangled

I haven't read any of the comic's to be honest. lol. I haven't heard the best things about them so I'll pick and choose what i want from it. But with the colonies, a lot of them consider themsleves as apart of the firenation. hell a lot of them where already pretty independent form the Earth kingdom for a long time before the war and had ties with the fire Nation because of preestablished trade routes.

Is Avatar verse religion like ancestor worship of great chi warriors and benders mixed with venerating local and greater spirits?
Andy333
Andy333
Now the fire kingdom kind of looks down upon them, thinking their basically country bumpkins, but the key take away is that they still consider them apart of the firenation if a little less developed and a little different. These aren't conqured territory these are fully assimilated provinces.

Possible conflict and sycriism of Fire nation and earth kingdom spirit mythos

I always thought with Avatar religion it would be worship of your ancestors, with the Avatar being proof of reincarnation also being proof you will someday see your love ones again in a new life.

What is being a concubine like and how does that infringe on Katera's sexuality and control over her body? Play up the domination and corruption here.
Andy333
Andy333
My thinking is that in the past concubines were taken from defeated enemy's and are basically part trophy, part hostage, and great effort was taken to make their open enslavement as humiliating as possible through various rituals and court procedures as a way to show the power and superiority of the fire lord.
Andy333
Andy333
Now of course concupines haven't been in use for a long time and were far out of fasion and the only reason Zuko considered it was the politc's. Since with a fire lord the children of conucbine don't inherit. The wife does, with the woman being named wife being the head of the household and holding the respect and authority of the harem.
Andy333
Andy333
Zuko named all of his woman as concubines basically trying to say they were all equally loved by him and that any of his children could inherit the throne. Basically it was him chickening out on choising a head wife. Not realizing this was him reaffirming his power and control and telling his people that despite the avatar's defeating his father he's not changing the fire nation's way.

Ursa Is sweetly convincing Katara and Zuko those traditions are needed and useful and they should play along and its just pretend dears

Katara especially since her relationship as Aang's sister is very well known.

Ursa in reality a super consevative gender norms fire nation matriarch?
Andy333
Andy333
More like she's got some serious control issues after being married to a ecomanic for a few decades and wants to make sure this whole harem thing works out and that her precious son is never in a postion to get controlled or hurt by any of his many wifes.
Andy333
Andy333
Its kind of funny if you think about it, but Ursa wants her son to have a slave harem and he doesn't.
Bob is bob
Bob is bob
My thinking on this is Ursa we know nothing about. The easy thing is to make her a saint, but she married Ozai and was born into the Fire Nation culture. She should be a Fire nation woman. Of course give her a strong moral core. Virtues to have in her but use the sexy to show off Fire nation sexual and political norms through her
Andy333
Andy333
Yeah that's what i'm thinking too. Wasn't it implied she killed Zuko's grandfather, the old fire lord, by sleeping with him and using that to get close enough to give him poisened tea?
Bob is bob
Bob is bob
Slept with him? I didn't even think of that. She's a whore mom out to fuck and kill for her son.

WIlling to do any horrific shit to protect her son. Almost Yandere vibes if you really think about it.

Yandere harem mommy is a great idea.
