what do you think about azula/zhao? I've read really good fics of it and I feel if in the right hands, it's a fun dead dove exercise
I admittedly have a soft spot for Azula/Zhao lol. I can't say that I "ship" it in the sense that I think this would actually be a functional/healthy relationship (because it wouldn't in any universe lmao let's be real here). The way I ship it is like "this would be interesting to see" and "you could fit this into canon without changing too much". On that note, I love the idea of Azula having become engaged to Zhao pre-canon. It does kind of explain how he got promoted so quickly, plus it's a politically savvy match.
But yeah I've also read some amazing Zhaozula fics, and I agree with you wholeheartedly that this is one grisly dead dove, but it's also brilliant. Idk, there's just something about shipping Azula with inappropriately older men, you know? Plus it's some historical realism. It was fairly common for royals to already be betrothed at Azula's age, and the matches were not always age appropriate to say the least.
Also, I don't know if you were aware of this but apparently there was a pitch which involved Azula having an arranged marriage in Book 3 but the idea was scrapped... it's a shame, I think it really would have added to her breakdown and also humanized her a little more to the audience.
Thank you for the ask! Always down to talk about Zhaozula. I'll probably be writing some more soon, too.
Any opinions on ZhaoxAzula?
Zhaozula, Zhaozula…. where do I begin, exactly?

GladiatorWeek2:
Day 7: Something you look forward to and something you wish(ed) would happen + anything you want to add or say^^
Well, I was always looking forward to Zhaozula. Wedding, Marriage... and all that good stuff. Since the second Reviews Party to be exact='). I am curious about how things will go. Although my enthuisasm subsided.
I also can't wait to see Azula's part in Team Avatar. Like, how she will be friends with them. How will they communicate?? I sense pretty funny things. Especially with Aang^^. Will she kinda join them??
Aaannnd, I am very curious to see something I've always wished to see in ATLA: Azula and Zukos's relationship*_*. Their way through their life as Siblings and as Aunt&Uncle to their Nieces&Nephews. This will be cute to see. Their work for their Nation too. And them working/fighting side by side together for something big.
Of course another thing I am waiting for since the beginning: Azula and Sokka's reunion after everything. Like after they part way's, the first time they meet again. (I can't sadly follow Seyary's advice, because I can't stash hankies for their "parting way's" moment... a bad idea in the current world situation=D)
I also look forward for Sokkla Wedding. Like, will they have two?? Aunt Wu said there will be a Water Tribe one already.
Will we see Sokkla being openly together without hiding?? Then their married life for a time?? They deserve it. And then years later Azula's pregnancy and labor??
Azula and her future father-in-law Hakoda*_*. I definetely wait for this for a long time as well...
Uhh, and the Cave of two Lovers. Yepp, I LOVE that Artwork and can't wait for that Chapter.
What will happen to Anou?? And Seethus?? And Rei?? What will happen to everyone?? Yeah, lots of lots of questions... There might still be many little things I look forward to, but these are currently the most relevant ones I can think of.
Okayyyy, now this part is not so easy to answer for me. Because I will keep some stuff for myself. And for some other stuff I will hope, wait and see. Here's what I can tell you:
I wonder how it would have been if Lu Ten and Kya would live. Though I think if Lu Ten would be alive the Story could go very different ways.
Re-reading made me notice that I should leave certain chapters out completely. Don't need bad memories now. Want to erase some arcs out of my mind. I was also on the party who wishes Sokka wouldn't have done what he did. Especially not with her, but with ... Suki or Hina or no one at all. Can't believe he really went that far... I've just always had a strong distate towards this character, in canon and here. I hope she won't ever show up. Sorry for my honesty, but yeah, it is the truth. It's a bigger shock when you are used to part 2 0_o.
I also would have liked to see more Jet and Chan.
I also thought about how interesting it would have been if Azula would've ended up engaged. Or that she could've married an OC who is Zhao's son instead of Zhao??
Now to what I wish, I really like Azula's Royal Guards and hope they will survive and keep being by her side (being her friends) her. I hope Azula and Rui Shi are going to be happy and friends forever*_*.
I also wish to see some more good Zhao-Azula-Ozai Trio moments. And especially for Zhao to somehow stay an ally a friend for Azula at the end. But Azula & Zhao/Ozai are too complicated to have ideas or wishes ...
Seeing Ozai's vulnerable sides would be very interesting too. His love for Ursa and his final feelings for his daughter. Urzai-Feels.
Azula and Sokka really should go swimming. Back then I thought they would swim in Ember Island=D. And don't ask my why but I like the idea of Azula not being able to swim properly and someone teaching her. Or a girls swimming day together with Mai and Ty Lee. Plus babysitting Yuudai. Yes, she is not good with children but I would like to see her spending time with Yuudai or Zuzu's children.
I'd also like to see more Azula and Jet interactions. There are so many people I wanted Azula to interact with in ATLA. Some of them happened though. Maybe Azula and Ursa too?? Mainly, I am mostly looking forward to everything including our amazing Princess.^^
I would celebrate it if unexpected people join and share Azula's "pursuit goal" and fight alongside her. Like Anou and Chan or Piandao...etc.
I just hope no matter what she will find happiness and comfort. And all in all I wish for Azula to not get hurt (emotionally & physically) and be let down from the ones she loves. The most horrible thing to happen would be if her brother and Sokka would go against her, turn their backs or give up on her. I can't even imagine that.
I think I should stop now. =) So much for the topic "Something ..."
Gotta love the puriteens in fandom bitching about ships that are older than they are. My dude, Zhaoko is old enough to vote! Zucest, Zhaozula, and Ozula are not far behind... sit tf down lol.
So what other things do you ship?
As far as AtLA goes, I like Kataang and Maiko. And I multiship Azula, I'm also a big fan of Sokkla and Zhaozula, and on occasion, Azulaang.
For non-AtLA ships? Game of Thrones : Jon/Dany and Drogo/Dany. Harry Potter : Bellamort, various Blackcest ships, Wolfstar, Snape/Lily, Snape/Bellatrix. Plus Rocketshipping and Joker/Harley.
(Ship Ask Game) Azula/Zhao
Ship it!
What made you ship it?
Welp, I'm gonna call this ship the gateway to Ozula. As I'm sure you all know, I think older men, age gaps, and daddy doms are incredibly fucking hot, and I naturally project that onto Azula. So I guess what made me ship this is projecting my own kinks onto her lmao but also I read some really good Zhaozula fanfics!
Yes, I know they've never interacted in canon, aside from the brief flashback during Zuko's Agni Kai... but let's think about this. Azula can work out her daddy issues by boning an old dude. Zhao is entitled, power hungry, and completely full of himself, of course he'd want a girl like Azula. Plus like... he just gives me rapey/creep vibes, sorry not sorry.
What are your favorite things about the ship?
Love the age gap, gotta just say that again. And the potential for kink! Think about it, two firebenders with mile wide sadistic streaks. My favorite take on this by far though is Zhao "breaking" Azula, and turning her into a slutty sub who begs for cock... then again you can also go femdom here, for sure, that's what's good about this ship - the possibilities! And it's completely open to your interpretation as they don't interact in the show.
Oh, and I also love this on the basis of Zhao and Azula having an arranged marriage, which seems to be very popular among us few that ship it.
Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
Honestly, no. But if I think of one, I will be sure to post a follow up!
