History Narm / HowIBecameYours

** Speaking of, the suddenness of the stabbing ''would'' be fairy dramatic and shocking... were it not or the fact that the knife hits Azula directly in the cleavage, leading to the image that she's been stabbed in the boobs.

* Zuko and Mai's argument over her intercepting Katara letters, ending with Zuko banishing Mai from the Fire Nation palace. What is meant to be a dramatic scene is ruined by random misspellings like "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin dander]]" for "danger" and "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin chard]]" for "charred". Not to mention Zuko gets upset at being called a "[[MemeticMutation chard monster]]", even though part of his character arc from the show revolves around him getting over his insecurities about the scar.
* The [[WallOfText humongous monologues]] that take up good chunks of the page can get ''really'' ridiculous, especially when minor characters suddenly launch into these lengthy tangents.

* After Mai hits Azula in the chest with a knife, nearly killing her and resulting in the drama for Chapter 5, said drama is ruined by Sokka's BigNo unfortunately coming out as a [[BigNo Big "NAAOOOO!"]]

* Aang glowing avatar-style when having sex with Toph is unintentionally funny as well as horrifying when you consider what he's capable of in the Avatar stat.

* Zuko and Mai's argument over her intercepting Katara letters, ending with Zuko banishing Mai from the Fire Nation palace. What is meant to be a dramatic scene is ruined by random misspellings like "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin dander]]" for "danger" and "[[RougeAnglesOfSatin chard]]" for "charred". Not to mention Zuko gets upset at being called a "[[MemeticMutation chard monster]]", despite his character arc from the show is him getting over his insecurities about the scar.
%% * The [[WallOfText humongous monologues]] can get ''really'' ridiculous.

* Aang, Zuko and Iroh make some rather ridiculous faces when they see Azula, spoiling the moment in which they are genuinely shocked to see their former enemy alive and well in Katara's home.
* [[https://howibecameyours-rehost.tumblr.com/image/81172958910 That spirit-world monster]] that looks a bit like the [[https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Hell_Knight/Doom_3 Hell Knight]] from ''VideoGame/Doom3'' looks kinda freaky, except [[NightmareRetardant that its horrifying bellow is labeled as]] [[UnsoundEffect "*loud random screams*"]]
%% * Sokka's [[BigNo Big "NAAOOOO!"]], after Mai hits Azula in the chest, nearly killing her and resulting in the drama for Chapter 5.
%% * Zuko and Sokka's ridiculously stiff fencing. With the ''en garde'' pose. Fencing with a broadsword and a ''katana''.

%% * A lot of the "romantic" or "sad" scenes are absolutely ''hysterical'', such as Aang glowing avatar-style when having sex with Toph, Azula asking the [[SpecialEffectFailure badly Photoshopped]] turtleduck to be her friend, the Photoshopped talking panda, etc.

%% * Azula spying on Sokka in a [[HighlyVisibleNinja bright pink dress]].
%% * Aang, Zuko and Iroh's faces when they see Azula.

* [[RougeAnglesOfSatin Chard]] [[MemeticMutation Monster]]! [[note]]Mai is supposed to be calling Zuko a "Charred Monster" but it's so horribly misspelled (and out of character, since Zuko is supposed to have grown to not be sensitive about his scar anymore) that it's become a meme. Even sillier, chard is a type of spinach.[[/note]]

* All of the {{Unsound Effect}}s. They look like they belong in a [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] comic book, not a romance graphic novel.
* Aang, Zuko and Iroh's faces when they see Azula.

* Near the end, Sokka and Toph blabber on about retrieving Azula from the spirit world and the power of love while Aang [[FunnyBackgroundEvent wears an expression that tells us he's very much aware now of what story he's in and is praying for the sweet release of death.]] He also has that expression in the scene in which he and Zuko are HauledBeforeASenateSubcommittee debating Zuko's marriage to Katara. Diaz doesn't seem to be able to tell the difference between "serious and sad" and "bored out of his mind".
* Sokka's [[BigNo Big "NAAOOOO!"]], after Mai hits Azula in the chest, nearly killing her and resulting in the drama for Chapter 5.
* Aang being carried off after telling Sokka and Zuko he proposed to Toph. [[SpecialEffectsFailure His pose from an earlier panel is flipped sideways, making it look like they're carting off a mannequin of Aang.]] And he ''still'' looks as if he's longing for death's cold embrace.
* Zuko and Sokka's ridiculously stiff fencing. With the ''en garde'' pose. Fencing with a broadsword and a ''katana''.
* The sex scenes are already hard to take seriously with their overly-dramatic poses and cheesy narration, but they become even sillier when you realize that the couples are in the ''exact same pose'' for the entire scene, just flipped, rotated, and shown with different body parts focused on. This is especially entertaining with Toph and Aang's sex scene, since Diaz takes an image of him stiffly kissing Toph's neck while they're both sitting up and just flips it on its side.
** During Katara and Zuko's lovemaking, Katara's lower body is pressed up against Zuko's abs. Either puberty has been inordinately kind to him, or [[BodyHorror his penis is growing out of his bellybutton.]]

Jackie Diaz's lack of artistic skill, her blatant tracing, and her poor spelling and grammar make for [[SnarkBait a great webcomic to laugh at]].
