I just love Suki, she was UNDERAPPRECIATED in ATLA and I'm so glad she gets a story of her own.

(Side note: you know it's good when it's titled *Insert Name* Alone.)

Loved how it started with Suki just not taking ANY of Azula's manipulation tactics. Suki's stronger than that! And of course Suki would just stay so strong in that prison and be such a good leader! Ugh! I mean the ending was a little bit predictable especially since she's not having a good time during the Boiling Rock episodes in ATLA, but it worked well anyways.

SpoilerI love how hard she tried to stay strong even after being betrayed by the first person she trusted. AND I LOVE HOW KYOSHI HERSELF CAME TO MOTIVATE SUKI. Because if anyone deserves a visit from Kyoshi herself, it's the one who truly embodies her values (Suki). AND THEN I LOVE HOW IT ENDS WITH SOKKA AND ZUKO ON THEIR WAY TO THE BOILING ROCK, PROVING THAT SUKI IS NOT ALONE THAT SHE HAS FRIENDS WHO WILL HELP HER OH MY GOD MY HEART I HAVE TO GO REWATCH ATLA NOW.


Loved the flashbacks interwoven with the present day, Suki's backstory was long needed! I'm just a bit confused on Kyoshi Island being separated from the rest of the world I mean. They do canonically export fish yaknow? But it makes me think of Kyoshi's mother. The artstyle was so pretty!! Loved the wlw there for a second. I just love it all.
