Azula

[halcyon-nitro]

I hate those fics where fire nation loves zuko but hates azula for some reason. Like hello to them she was a war hero, who valiantly fought on the front lines and captured the uncapturable. Meanwhile Zuko got banished for three years came back a hero then betrayed the nation again. AND sided with the avatar who took out their current leader. Like yeah we the audience know they suck but 100 years of brainwashing isnt going to disappear over night. The Fire Nation is a strong stands above the rest civilization. It sucks dont get me wrong but that mindset won’t just go away because Zuko got elected. And before someone’s like OH THE SCAR THEYD FEEL BAD or whatever this makes little sense to me but it doesn’t seem to be common knowledge if you remember in season one the guards on ZUKOS OWN SHIP didn’t know how he got it. I personally think it would make sense for it to be common knowledge because of the audience but oh well. ANYWHO regardless even if they DID know people getting burned is probably a regular day occurrence for the people esp with there no tolerance for any bullshit policies. So even then I don’t think that would sway any opinions.

Oh and as for the Agni Kai with Azula I think a lot of people would question it because he walked away with a burn scar and Azula was suspiciously wet after it. So there’s probably conspiracies and shit that he used Katara to win the battle. Anyways I literally cringe so hard when people say that because logically it makes no sense and I’d much rather read a fic where Zuko has to struggle which leads him to learn how to be a good leader. (Or maybe let’s not make the 16 year old fire lord… Iroh wtf) And again forces him to confront his relationship with Azula and ending their arc with her own redemption and the fire nation embracing him finally as if he taught them AND her what he learned on his journey is a far more compelling narrative to me than him having a cheap cop out just saying.

Don't read the comments below this video.

[0bscvr1ty]

I should've heeded the warning.

↑Hell no.

↑"He's not a creep."

↑Straight up rape joke.

↑Well. That made my skin crawl.

↑"He's fucking over his abused nephew he supposedly cares about but let's praise him for assaulting a paralyzed woman."

↑Pedophilia joke. And more disturbing glaze.

↑Another tongue joke. And disrespect to the dead.

↑"Lonely feminists" That's another strike for misogyny. And more glazing.

↑Stop.

↑Is this a Fire Nation citizen?

↑Right. Because theft (from the oppressed nation) is admirable. Sure.

↑That headcanon makes it worse.

↑This one. This fucking comment.

At least I found one good comment in this cesspool.

2am attempt at adult azula

[neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd]

I wish I could erase my memory and read Dominion by Aurelia Le again, but I'm actually reading it for the first time.

[avatar-legends-confessionblog]

Kuriva getting a "redemption" while Azula get's reduced to "manic psycho" (thinking about her portrayal in the Legacy Of The Fire Nation book where Iroh was the writer) does not sit right w me icl

So the grown dictator woman gets excused but the fourteen year old from the same abusive environments as beloved prince zuzu gets wrecked?

🙂

How nice

I'm sorry I really don't buy Zuko being friends with the rest of the gaang post war like he's SUCH an odd man out compared to the rest of them and he has the least reason to stick around 4 other people given that he's an absolute monarch and is kind of busy. Post-war zuko is like, a guy they're friendly with and get invited to events for not a guy they hit up for tea every week, they barely even know him

THANK YOU

The fandom tries to get around this by putting the Gaang in the Fire Nation for dubious reasons (“ambassador”) as if they don’t have better things to do than orbit around Zuko, a guy they spent one or two very stressful weeks with as an ally after several months of him being their enemy

Im still not over the way azula was treated in the comics. You are telling me that a fascist in her late 20’s/early 30’s gets to be redeemed but a 14 yr old that was clearly in need of mental help isn’t even worthy of understanding?

[womens-wrongs-activist]

Azula: That's...that's it?

Kuvira: What do you mean?

Azula: That's your emotionally scarring backstory? That's your great tragedy!? Dude, I was raised to be evil by an abusive tyrant and you're telling me that your parents just abandoned you then you were raised by a wealthy family? That's all? That's all you got? Really? My own mother thought I was a monster! She left in the middle of the night after killing my grandfather and only said goodbye to my brother! I had zero positive parental figures or influences in my life whatsoever! Everyone I ever cared about betrayed me then my brother threw me in a mental hospital!

[beifong-brainrot]

Genuinely I think that a bunch of people in the atla fandom haven't actually seen the show since they were kids and have been mostly experiencing it in curated clips and edits or even fanworks. And yet they confidently voice their takes and opinions with nothing to back it up.

[hello-nichya-here]

Do you think Azula haters think Zuko and Iroh have “more of a right to be evil” because of their backstories then Azula who they can’t empathize with.

Nope, it's as simple as "half of them haven't rewatched the show in years" and the other half just have stan-mind of "I like this character therefore they're good, I don't like that character therefore they're bad."

They're attached to Iroh and Zuko, so they don't even notice that Zuko played as big a role as Azula in supporting war, genocide and imperialism, and that Iroh's actions were worse than both of them combined on the simple basis of "he had more time to be awful." They're not attached to Azula, so they don't notice she has quite a bit of tragedy to her character, just like them.

Also Azula and Zuko are a clear case of "same writting, different font" so it always amuses and perplexes me to see how bizarre the discourse around them is.

bro who even likes maizulee like 🙄

[zuko-always-lies]

most zuko stans don't even love canon zuko😬

agreed

[ly0nstea]

People talk about Azula like she came out of the wombacting like rumplestiltskin because why did I just read that someone said Azula 'sabotaged' good moments with her mom as if this seven year old deadass watched her mom try to reach out to her and thought "aha! A foolish endeavour, mother of mine, but I see through your ruse of affection for its true intention! You seek only to dull the blade of mine own wits and for that I must rebuke thee and thine efforts... better luck next time, nemesis of mine!"
