idk why do firebenders lose their bending during the day of black sun but dont lose their bending at night like thats also dark bitch wtf
I don’t think it’s just the darkness I think it has something to do with the blocking of the sun spirit’s energy something something magic something moon something. Like how Katara is a more powerful bender depending on the moon and the tides. Plus I’m pretty sure firebenders tend to be weaker at night, but not completely powerless.
Firebenders are strongest during the day because of the energy they get from the sun.
Waterbenders get their energy from the moon and their power rises and falls with the tides/lunar phases.
An eclipse is a big ball of water energy covering a big ball of fire energy, meaning the moon is 2x strong against the sun.
Firebenders don’t lose their power at night because moonlight is refracted sunlight.
Seriously, did no one think of this? When Iroh tells Zhao, “Don’t kill the moon spirit, we need it too” what did you think he meant?
Zhao was that much of a fucking idiot.
Zhao looked at only the first few responses to this post and went on his merry way.
