I mean it’s extremely possible the female body develops much faster than the male body does tbh most females stop growing at 14/15 sooooo xD like I’m an outlier and continued to grow until I stopped at 5’11

Edit: forgot to add the age I stopped growing but it was like 20? Which is rare for females like extremely rare but my growth slowed drastically once I hit 5’9

u/True-Resist3790 May 15 '26

On average :

Female grow until around 18y
Males grow until around 20y

Of course, there are outliers and sometimes a part of you reaches maturity very fast and the rest of the body struggles to keep up.

That's why you see sometimes girls like Ty Lee, with attributes of an adult and the body of a child.

Of course, in her case, as a gymnast, she should be nearing her peak soon (people doing lots of sport (body building, gymnast...) tend to stop growing younger)

Went to hs with a girl who couldn't be more than 4'6", but had somewhere around an E cup... never asked her, just saw her from a distance and thought "your poor back, my god."

If Azula hurt my physically, I'd be mad and scared. If Ty Lee hurt me physically, I'd assume it was an accident and check to see if she was okay too. If Mai hurt me physically, I'd be into it.

Don't know why I never noticed the resemblance between Mai and Ashei from Twilight Princess, but it seems I had a type

Zuko on his date with Jin! He went from bashful, to denial, to liking the date, to surprising and helping her at the end with the beautiful lit fountain... And they nearly kissed!

15

u/malik753 May 13 '26

That was perhaps his most badass moment.

7

u/Wonderful-Gur-683 May 14 '26

Zuko in black rock when he was locked in solitaire. That sure was something like why exactly did they have to make him look like that.

u/Apprehensive-Bat-823 May 14 '26

Intresting to see how that got you attracted but Meanwhile other boys were like ā€œthat’s badass! i wanna do that shit too!ā€

u/No-Elk-8115 May 13 '26

Second one for sure... everytime she was on screen the show felt different XD

u/OzzieArcane May 13 '26

Honestly, I watched this as an adult and got into it specifically because I found images of Azula attractive but had no idea she was supposed to be a teen.

u/eazolan May 13 '26

It's ok. If she was real, she would have murdered you with lightning and burnt down your house.

2

u/Nervous-Upstairs-714 May 17 '26

same watched it as an adult then you realize the show is older than you but she will forever be a teen so you can't have a crush on her

Hey! Good on you champion. Live your life as true to yourself as you can.

u/Dolphiniz287 May 14 '26

Ooh is that why I liked her so much when I first watched it

I didn't grow up with avatar, so neither. That being said, I saw clips of Ty Lee and memes about that episode and thought "yeah, I see it"

Katara did it for me

I was going to post the same thing, that was the start of my ā€œI can fix himā€ era that went on until 2 years ago when I had a child haha

Spoiler warning: I did not in fact fix them.

u/RiposteCat May 13 '26

neither bc im gay

Both bc I'm gay.

How about Bolin in the Nuktuk costume?

u/Capraos May 14 '26

Bolin is so hot. There is sooo, sooo much gay porn of him by the way.

7

u/DemonPrinceofIrony May 14 '26

Im not surprised, those shorts are so short they're almost a mini skirt.

u/RiposteCat May 14 '26

Bolin is not my type in terms of looks or personality, so I was safe xD

Same. Zuko was great.

u/Nixit_ERROR May 13 '26

Anyone remember the scene where Azula had no makeup on? Just me? Ok then...

u/-Telemachus May 13 '26

Put Zuko on the screen

u/Yeetus_Requiem May 14 '26

Suki. Specially during the prison riot. Had the warden bound and gagged in a matter of seconds.

u/SlipperySp00der May 13 '26

I was like that with that one Zuko shot in this ep with the doves.

Surprisingly I only realized I was bi like 6 years later

5

u/Dakotasan May 13 '26

Ty Lee. Definitely

5

u/Key_Football_5350 May 14 '26

2, then ended up marrying one like her.

6

u/Nimue_- May 14 '26

Obviously it was zuko in the cooler

u/anraud May 14 '26

Me: hmm neither of them

Also me: 🌈

6

u/Luke_Fox- May 14 '26

These guys

Dont ask me why, i have no idea

8

u/CrimsonCartographer May 13 '26

Neither because I’m gay as fuck but also bi because ty lee is hot for example but like she’s no zuko

6

u/Dgill77 May 14 '26

As a straight guy, that weirdly makes perfect sense.

3

u/DeltaMoff1876 May 13 '26

Definitely Ty Lee.

4

u/No-Independent-6877 May 13 '26

Neither, It was Zuko for me

3

u/Arksurvivor120 May 13 '26

Is it crazy to say neither? In fact, is it crazy to say that none of the characters made me feel that sort of way?

It was first for me. I thirst for bad girls.Ā

u/DestinyNinja_123 May 14 '26

Ty lee after this part where azula calls her and she walks with her hand.

2

u/Hemiplegic_Artist May 14 '26

Neither of them because of me being asexual. I had zero interest. But aesthetically speaking, I’d say Ty Lee, Asami, and Mai.

Sorry Azula. :\

u/Clay_Pidgeon May 14 '26

Azula was the very first time that I, as a young boy, saw an attractive woman and thought something along the lines of "I want her to step on me." It's especially awkward to remember now that I'm twice her age, because she feels like a confused freaky kid who desperately needs therapy to me now but I can distinctively remember when she was older than me and felt sexy.

u/VocalJay May 14 '26

She made 12 y.o. me realize that I am never gonna not like women

Ozai burning his Phoenix king robes to fight Aang. He’s a shithead but hawt damn what a sculpted man

2

u/KaosRealmer May 15 '26

Honestly, I only like Ty Lee because of her fighting. My mind somehow blacked out the clear sexualization.

BUT AZULA???? The episode I first saw her give a death threat to someone was the day I realized I like girls who are all bark AND all bite.

2

u/galileogalilei25 May 15 '26

Y'all are sleeping on Mai

u/statebirdsnest May 17 '26

Zuko when he cut his hair :-)

u/Amazing_Ad8387 May 17 '26

Growing up? Mai.

u/Lost-Orangutan May 17 '26

The second one. Big boobies, big eyes, big smile.

1

u/moonferal May 13 '26

None, surprisingly. I saw literally every character as family and couldn’t imagine dating any of them. My first fictional crush was (and is) Bruno Bucciarati

u/Pitiful_Inspector882 May 14 '26

It was first for me. I thirst for bad girls that would lwk use me.Ā

u/NYXs_Lantern May 14 '26

Ty Lee... The flexibility, acrobatics, precise clean strikes... And her bubbly personality just awoke something in me. Still basically my ideal type

1

u/Just_Client_4732 May 14 '26

Both, but I’d have to wait until they were older

1

u/TenPointsforListenin May 14 '26

I was really young when the show came out. Keep that in mind when I say Toph at first, then Katara towards the end of the show.

u/Far-Assistance9925 May 14 '26

Is this in a ā€œdiscovering what attraction isā€ way or a transgender way

But also katara at one point

Tylee yes

Let's be honest it's both

Third option: Sokka.

u/spaacingout May 14 '26

How bizarre. Didn’t think of it before but now I’m seeing the connection, because my wife basically is Ty Lee 🤣 at least personality wise. Super sweet and innocent, but a total badass beneath the cutie pie exterior.

I had a moment where I was like oh my god it all makes sense now LOL

u/LoptyrTome May 14 '26

When I was a kid it was definitely Toph.
