Avatar does a lot of mature things for a children's show but it will not allow it to be obvious for a main character to be a bastard.The cabbage merchant sometimes crosses paths with Aang because he is trying to keep an eye on his son. This also explains why Ozai seems to have a certain distaste for Zuko since he isn't really his son. This is why at the end, it wasn't shown [[spoiler:Zuko looking and finding his mom]] because the Cabbage Merchant would be there. The cabbage merchant never tries to meet his son because of his son's obsession with honor and thus would have another bit of ANGST since his true dad isn't royalty.

** Actually illegitimacy is discussed in the comics, as Ursa convinced Ozai that Zuko was a bastard of her lover Ikem, and Ozai decided to treat Zuko as such.

[[WMG: Onji either wants to break up with Hide, or doesn't even consider him her boyfriend.]]
It's pretty clear that Onji caught feelings for Aang during his short time at the Fire Nation school. At the same time, Onji shows no affection towards Hide when he tries to claim her as his girlfriend. The two most likely reasons are that Onji isn't happy with her relationship with Hide, or Hide intimidates Onji into following along with him.

[[WMG: Smellerbee is a trans girl]]
While on the ferry, Iroh mistakenly calls Smellerbee a man, saying that her name was "unusual for a young man". This greatly upsets her, more than one would expect. She storms off even after Iroh tries to correct his mistake. She only calms down when Longshot has a silent conversation with her. She replies with something along the lines of "I know, you're right. As long as I'm confident with who I am, it doesn't matter what other people think." That definitely sounds like someone trans responding to comfort and reaffirmation. Smellerbee also has quite an androgynous design which, while not particularly unusual for this show, is of note. She's very flat-chested and her hair looks like it's growing out from a shorter style.

[[WMG: Azula was Hou-Ting's mother.]]
Kuei might have gotten a crush on Azula, married her as part of some Fire Nation concessions to the Earth Kingdom, and/or done it for diplomacy. As Kuei was Hou-Ting's father, Azula would have therefore been her mother.
This would also do a lot to explain Hou-Ting's personality. Like mother, like daughter?

[[WMG: Kyoshi Warriors are hired out as Mercenaries]]
Kyoshi Island's economy is based on fishing, trade, and tourism. The island itself is mountainous and not very well suited for agriculture, and it doesn't look like a particularly large trading hub. How else would the Kyoshi Warriors be funded, but being hired as mercenaries?
*This might also explain why the Fire Nation didn't attack Kyoshi Island until the Avatar visited- they were hiring Kyoshi Warriors.

[[WMG: If Chin the Conqueror had taken two steps back, he would've turned the world against Kyoshi.]]
Also, Kyoshi killed tens of thousands (possibly more) of people by creating a tsunami that impacted the Southern Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation. When Kyoshi altered plate tectonics to form a new rift and break her island away from the mainland, she also created a VERY fast moving convergent plate boundary, which would have generated ''massive'' submarine earthquakes--and with them, trans-oceanic tsunamis, with runups exceeding 200 feet in some places. She was on the new island to mitigate damage from the tsunamis, but other parts of the world weren't so lucky. She basically handed Chin all the propaganda he could want on a silver platter. If Chin had stepped back and lived, he could have swooped into the wave-stricken disaster zones in the Earth Kingdom with some relief supplies and a whole heckuvalot of propaganda to turn those areas against Kyoshi. The effect would've rippled out from there just like the tsunami. And by the time Kyoshi realized she was the cause of it, Chin would have a loyal following and would be so firmly established as an emperor that forcibly removing him would create a dangerous power vacuum Kyoshi would've been hard pressed to find a way to fill. Chin's self-destructive stubbornness was a huge stroke of luck for Kyoshi. Had he lived, Kyoshi would have destroyed her own career, and possibly Roku, Aang and Korra's before they even began.

[[WMG: Monk Gyatso refused to save himself along with his people.]]
At the Southern Air Temple, the Gaang discovers the remains of ONLY firebenders and a single airbender, all in one place. And it's the only temple that shows no evidence of ever having been burned. Aang recognizes the airbender's remains as Gyatso, and his positioning suggests that he lured the firebenders around him into a trap, then used his airbending to suffocate all of them while the rest of the temple's residents fled. Given how easy it would be for a powerful airbender like Gyatso to snuff out benders so utterly dependent on oxygen, it can be argued that Gyatso could have easily killed all those firebenders from afar, sparing himself to rejoin his people. He didn't do it because of the moral dilemma he faced; stand back and be complicit in the murder of children and the genocide of his people, or go against his culture's most sacred principles and actively take multiple human lives. He chose the latter, and knowing he couldn't live with the decision afterward, he [[RedemptionEqualsDeath deliberately went down with them.]]

[[WMG: Bumi unlocked earth-based lavabending.]]
Since Toph learned earthbending from the original earthbenders, mastered the art by age 12 AND invented metalbending, she truly does have the better claim to the title of greatest earthbender of all time. She's evenly matched with Bumi when the two spar together, their battle only ending because the rest of OWL had to separate them. Bumi knows Toph's skills are superior to his own and is compelled to stake his own claim to the title of greatest earthbender before his rematch with Toph. So he takes a page out of the Water Tribe's book and tries to phase shift solid earth into a liquid. He succeeds, and Toph's ego gets knocked down a few pegs. As an old woman, she will go on an "enlightenment" journey to figure out how Bumi unlocked lavabending.
