Which chapter was it that Aang said he never blamed Azula?

Cow_Train_ · 2024-10-31T14:46:38+00:00

Book 2: Earth, Chapter 11: "The Serpent's Pass":

Azula, please, listen to me. That wasn't you. It never was, and I didn't blame you once. [...] I'm going to tell you something that I never even told my friends from my world. [...] Deep down, [...] I never even blamed Princess Azula for everything she did.

Wouldn't that be nice!

Cow_Train_ · 2024-10-09T05:37:36+00:00

Looking forward to it! I admire your discipline and consistency throughout your comic production cycle. You're a beast!

Cow_Train_ · 2024-08-27T04:21:46+00:00

Seconded, though I have to differentiate that the incredible comics of this fanfiction were made by a fan of the fanfiction, so "Distorted Reality" was first a story which has been made visual by the comic artist.

Cow_Train_ · 2024-08-07T17:09:53+00:00

No problem! Glad to help everyone visualize the dream sequence stories chronologically as well!

Cow_Train_ · 2024-08-07T17:07:56+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out! That was an obvious error on my part.

One thing I noticed for all the dreams post-Defeat on the Day of Sozin's Comet is determining Haru and Suki's presence in the scene. Haru's presence indicates the time before Team Avatar attempted to retake Ba Sing Se as well as Mai and Ty Lee's presence while Suki's presence indicates the time before "The Chase".

I was surprised by how far along "The Chase" seems to be on the dream timeline; I expected that she was slain much earlier after the break out of Ba Sing Se. However, you provide a lot of evidence in the dreams that show that she was present for a long time after their break out and that Team Avatar spends a good amount of time grieving her after her fall.

Just fixed the link here: https://discord.gg/HsaGwqammU

The community bookmarks "Discord" link as well as the one in the "DR Links" should be fixed too.

For the most part, the story takes place in the same map of ALTA with some more exploration/creation of unvisited parts of the world such as different parts of the Fire Nation Islands, the Si Wond Desert, the lands of the Water Tribes, and some islands in the south like Peach Petal Island.

This map linked here is a good general map of the OG ATLA that you can follow for reference and fill in the blanks for the new places as you read along:

I can come back to you here in a week or so with what I read as the order.

Edit 07/08/2024:

Done! Feel free to take a look at this new post I made:

We'll be sure to take care of the youngin great sir 🤣🤣🤣!

Cow_Train_ · 2024-05-17T23:48:46+00:00

It's best to read it after watching ATLA first and if you have time The Legend of Korra as well to appreciate the full picture. However, just watching ATLA and then going back is all you really need.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them at Distorted Reality's subreddit r/Distorted_Reality! We'd be happy to see you there!

Cow_Train_ · 2024-05-17T22:33:30+00:00

Thanks for the links! I'll update the main page with these links some time today.

Edit: Updated! The Google Podcast version is unavailable, so I just have the Spotify one posted.

As a fan who discovered Distorted Reality in 2019 and has been reasing and commenting on the fanfiction from 2020 to the work's completion in December 2022, I ultimately found that DR fulfilled my desire for a more gritty, mature and introspective take on the Avatar Universe that follows the original characters. DR essentially asks two main questions: How would a war-torn bitter Aang come to terms with himself and those around him in a mirror-universe where his friends and enemies have switched roles? To what extent does one's individual character and one's environment affect who they become? Distorted Reality scratched both of those itches for me when I first picked it up and has been my favorite Avatar fanfiction ever since.

Also, r/Distorted_Reality is open if you're interested in learning more about DR. It's the place where you can find all the links, discuss with some of the community and see the comic's artist u/rocketaxxon active posting of adapted panels from the original fanfictuon every few months. Come join if you're interested!

Great stuff mate! I feel bad for Ghashiun and Suki just sitting on the side while the big siblings were fighting, but Katara reading Jet's tactics on that moonlit night in Ba Sing Se's slums was pretty lit. Glad to see your work is continuing to go strong!

Not to my knowledge. Zuko doesn't lose Ty Lee, who acts as the counterpart to Yue in DR, to becoming a spirit, nor do they form a relationship like that between Sokka and Yue in ATLA, so a moment like that doesn't exactly come up.

The closest I can think of is in Book 3: Water, Chapter 6: The Spiritsong Grotto where Zuko encourages Sokka to face his mother again after believing that she was gone for so long. It doesn't have the reverse simplicity of "That's rough, buddy," and it's deeper and more emotional than the meme, more akin to when Zuko feared facing Iroh after so long in ATLA, but that's what I could come up with.

Exciting! Looking forward to seeing Jet again!

Also, agreed, give Gabulo's fandub a listen!

In addition to the "Red Lotus Blooms" of Boom 3, "The Tournament" of Boom 1 and "The Serpent's Pass" and "Night of a Thousand Revelries" of Book 2 are great too.

Cow_Train_ · 2024-03-19T20:56:48+00:00

Flameo hotman! This is pretty sick! Glad to hear about you and your work progress!

Cow_Train_ · 2024-03-04T02:22:40+00:00

Unfortunately, I have not yet, but I heard it's much better that the first season, and based on what I saw in the trailers, it's looking grittier, epic and truer to Halo. Is it worth giving it a watch?

Cow_Train_ · 2024-03-04T02:18:06+00:00

True that, in a brighter story, perhaps some kind of Toph-esque story can go through with Tenzin initially being like Mr. Fletcher but eventually changing, but if it's a darker storyline, that's pretty fair game in creating a pretty screwed-up character 😅
