Being mostly more Avatar babble

[soc_puppet]

So, two fics in as many days. Yeah, I'm as surprised as you are. I haven't been this productive in years. Let's hope I can shove some of this productivity onto the stuff that needs work, yeah?

Anyway, two unrelated Avatar questions, and then I'mma post one of my brother's theories for the show, 'cuz he's just that awesome.

First, I still kinda want to know how old Zuko was when the flashbacks in "Zuko Alone" took place. 'Twould be quite useful for math stuffs.

Second, I wanna know stuff about ranks in the Fire Nation army. I'm pretty sure that Admiral > General, but I'm not positive? So, uh, a little help = much appreciated. (I'm probably going to look back in that other episode with Zuko flashbacks for extra info, cuz helpful.)

And now, to exploit my little brother's brain and theories for the masses:

Okay, so, Tomas's theory is that Iroh's world traveling and trip to the Spirit World (see: Siege of the North (can't remember which one, and it might even have been in the episode before the finale)) followed and are directly related to the death of his son. Which freaks me the hell out, but makes a heck of a lot of sense.

...I'm actually still reluctant to believe that all of Iroh's world-traveling happened as a result of this, mostly because of my own pet crack theory. Which I should probably get to work on related fic for. Or something. Anyway, it seems pretty likely to me.

The point of this is mostly to bemoan the fact that we know little to nothing of Iroh's past, and then celebrate the fact that we're probably going to find out a little more eventually. 'Cuz Iroh is really damn awesome.

...On an almost completely unrelated note, I've been volunteered to do some graphic designing for the Quire. Which is both flattering and terrifying, but I've got an idea for something, so I think I'm good. I think. Maybe. Hopefully. I just need to find some aurora photos first...

Edit: Why does the LJ on this computer think it's tomorrow? The computer doesn't think so.

Edit 2: ...I should not be this amused by 404 messages. (Refresh to see new ones. There's one in haiku, and another that parodies Zero Wing Rhapsody. *is taking screencaps*)

Edit 3: phantom_kaito is wonderful and awesome and you will go praise her now.

Yup. I only ask because I'm pretty sure that Zhao got promoted from General to Admiral. Though I could be getting mixed up. *shall have to double-check*

Drat :( Makes things more difficult. I guess Katara's mom would probably have to be an older sibling, though. Even if he was eight-ish. Unless Lu Ten was around twenty-four or something. Even then, though, they'd have to be twins.

Yup, yup. *le sigh* I still like the idea of Crown Prince Iroh: Runaway Aristocrat, though.

It also stopped me from finishing a download of episode 02x08 with one second left to go DDD: And then didn't have the sense to keep it when I deleted some stuff off of my USB drive. *mutters curses* I was hoping to get away with two episodes today, but now I don't have time ;_;

Hmmm.... There's a 'Commander' in there somewhere, I think.

My brain's not working well enough to comprehend that paragraph, so I'm just going to nod. *nods*

Bah. Stupid computer. I'm sorry. ;_;

[soc_puppet]

Huh. I think you're right. *cues eye-crossing headache*

Sounds good.

I guess I'll just try for two tomorrow. Er, if I can manage it tomorrow. Stupid lousy Friday hours.

I may not have any internet tomorrow. If my brother and I end up going to my grandma's, I shall be internetless. :( Luckily, she still has cable, though.

Alas :< Oh, well. Here's to watching new episodes, then.
