    This episode of ATLA is brilliant, but I want to applaud the effort you putting into setting the atmosphere like a storyteller would in a dark campfire surrounded by eager listeners waiting for their spines to tingle. You have a way with words :)

    Katara using blood bending and Hama's evil cackling was truly haunting. While Katara may not use it I bet since that day she could "feel" every person she interacts with differently. Like Toph feels the ground, Katara could feel every human as a bendable object.

      Could blood bending be used as something useful tho? Like....instead of controlling the whole body it could be used medically to stop blood from seeping out.

    This was an excellent analysis of the episode. It not only shows the horror of people harm others for their own power, but the way anger can let our own morals slip away in the hope for revenge against those who harm us. But there's also the small bit of hope for when we have people who can help become a voice of reason.
    I think its fitting that later in the season, Katara goes on a mission to search for the man who killed her mother. She could've killed that man, could've harmed dozens of other firebenders the same way they hurt their people. But it would've only repeated that cycle of horror onto others the same way Hama traumatized Katara into learning the darkest power of waterbenders.
    And there's also the hope of finding others who can listen to our moments of pain and grief and help us move past it. Aang, Soka, and Toph all listen and learn from Katara, and each offer their own advice to help her in her moments of weakness, and she does the same. She even learns to accept Zuko, who could've returned to the fire nation, but choose to stay, unable to become another link in the chain of destruction and horror that the other nations have suffered from Ozai.
    I also hope that perhaps, sometime next year in the midst of October, I find the same storyteller by the campfire to tell a similar tale.

    we simply give it directions, and the delay in which it takes for the directions to be commited depends on practice.

    It's more a philosophical horror, like the concept of loneliness and stuff like that. Different types of horror inflict different types of fear. Fear for your life, fear of the unknown. Storytelling is truly an art. The power of words is a surprising factor.

    what I love about "The Puppetmaster"is that it is a reversal of "The Firebending Masters" in that it recontextualized the dynamic between waterbending and firebending. in the earlier seasons, we were given this preconceived notion that "water represents life, and fire represents destruction" but these two episodes subverts that. in The Puppetmaster, bloodbending puts waterbending in a new, more negative light proving that it can also be as destructive as firebending is. similarly in The Firebending Masters, firebending is portrayed in its most basest form to represent vitality and warmth, and that it can be just as healing as waterbending does

    I don't think that Katara is too trusting, she's just disillusioned by this 'mother/grandmother' figure from own tribe. It must have felt really great to finally have someone else take over mother role after such a long time, where Katara is always the reasonable, mature and caring person. There's, sadly, a dark side to Hama's demeanor, Hama is obsessed with revenge and will not care whom she hurts, even if it is Katara herself.
