Does anyone else think about the accidental historical impact the gAang made in atla?

Cuz I do.

I mean, come on. The pentapox? How do you think that will go down in the Avatar-verse’s history books? A freak plague that went extinct as soon as it arose or the greatest escape story ever?

The new legend of the Moon Spirit? How long do you think it took to spread the word about Yue becoming the Moon Spirit? Do you think Sokka’s in that story? A Southern Water Tribe boy being the one to give her the courage to make her own choice?

The (in)accuracy of the Ember Island Player’s version of events? Would the illicit love affair between Fire Lord Zuko and Katara of the Southern Water tribe be considered absolute fact three hundred years down the line? Would historians question the lineage of Aang’s children?

A certain school within the Fire Nation that traditionally holds dances in a cave once a year. It’s considered a secret rite of passage and no one is quite sure why they do it, it’s just something they’ve been doing for so long.

These guys lived and actually shaped the history of their world in a HUGE way. And I can’t help but think of that a lot. Especially all the minor things…
