The Jasmine Dragon | Iroh #2: "While it is always best to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a blessing."
 

Thanks for this adorable new thread :love:

No problem!

Ooo we're getting the official recipe! Once again, I wish I liked tea :lol:

Also whoever wrote that did a very good job! It sounds exactly like something Iroh would say.

Right? I keep telling myself to get into tea :lol:

It's really cute :love:

A lot of my friends are very into tea but I've never been able to really get into it.

Maybe one day it'll change for us :nod:

Always the flirt :lol:

Maybe one day :lol:

Yeah he was there :lol: Unfortunately he had to do that to get money at the moment though. I felt really bad when he and Zuko had to basically live on the streets.

He did what he had to do to survive :lol: It's a humbling moment given where they came from.

Yeah I think that was the moment when things really started to shift for Zuko and he started to think a bit differently. Iroh seemed to take it a bit better (or at least had a better attitude) but it's very different for him too.

Iroh definitely seemed more open and accepting of the change :nod: I think being deeply involved in the war, and what happened with his son, humbled him and made this transition easier for him :nod:

Yeah that's true. Iroh had been through a lot of change already. I think it's definitely easier to deal with when you're older (probably because you've already been through some stuff at that point)

With age comes wisdom :nod:

Oooo those animations look great! I love how they did the lightning redirection. And of course the tea :lol:

Basically the two sides of Iroh :lol: I like how he shook his head like :nono: in the middle of redirecting lightning :lol:

The two sides of Iroh is right :lol: Yeah it's a good move! Like, "nope it's coming right back to you"

Exactly! "You thought you did something" :lol:

It's the biggest "nope" ever :lol:

All these different sides of Iroh :thud:

I know!

I like that they included the Pi Sho piece! It was so cool to see how important it ended up becoming in the show.

Yes! That game was much more than it seemed. Such a cool detail :love:

Yeah I remember the first time I watched I didn't even notice that they kept coming up (I had a much shorter attention span back then :lol:) then when they ended up being super important I was so surprised!

I can imagine that detail, or the White Lotus in general, wouldn't be very appealing to the kids in the audience :lol:

Yeah it went way over my head then :lol: I did really appreciate it watching now though! It's a nice Easter egg and it's cool that all the old people have this secret society and do cool stuff like take back Ba Sing Se together. Adult me realizes older characters get ignored a lot so I liked that they actually had a big part in the final battle.
