"So, I'm actually beta-ing for a Azula/Mai/Ty Lee/Zuko fic right now. However, in general you are correct, most fics of this type are just smut."
Other than the fic you are beta-ing right now, are there any Azula/Mai/Ty Lee/Zuko fics that are more than just smut i.e. have some (non-sexual) plot and/or worldbuilding going on?
Not really? I don’t want to offend anyone but most fics are just smut.
Do you know Undertale? - Gorella
I have heard of it, but I’ve never played it.
I haven't checked your blog for a good few years, have you seen the live action avatar series? What are your thoughts on the hanged they've done to Azula?
Thank you for existing, by the way. You really taught me to analyse the characters in the media I consume!
I have never watched the live action and don’t particularly plan to, so I can’t really say.
I’m glad to have been of service to you!
I believe that Rose Quartz and Iroh have the same arc. But since we watched Rose's arc backwards she's more hated, and Iroh is more loved because his actions aren't showed in the show.
I’ve never watched Steven Universe, so I can’t comment
this is going to piss white people off but iroh opening up the tea shop in ba sing se is kind of crazy. like i get he is a kind wise old uncle and the closest a lot of yall have to dads but like... i hope he has a good lawyer! thats all i'll say! actually no its not the way he talked about azula is also Fucking Crazy brother that is a 14 year old girl who is Your Neice being Groomed by Your Brother. Fuck ya mean "she's crazy" you old cunt Go Get Your Fucking Brother!!!
I love the animation quality in the new Aang movie, and while I'm not super attached to all of the stylistic choices, I'd agree more with critique of it, if it wasn't obviously just an anime rip-off style. And I'd be more critical of this, if I didn't suspect Avatar Studio is lowkey trying to hit a breakthrough with an Asian audience (bc who the fuck would gamble their whole bet only on a US American target audience in this world).
Like all of these (mostly ztr tbh, even though I've seen discussions of it from all corners) people making pages long geometrical analyses to prove the character's facial features are "different" from the cartoon and thus somehow no longer "ethnic" (as if they were to begin with) or that the OG cartoon didn't, too, suffer from #sameface.
Like duh. Yes, their faces are obviously designed from a different spreadsheet than the cartoon. The important discussion is WHY, and no, I really am not convinced it is simply done to make them look "white".
I don't particularly mind the style, but I'd also be bothered a bit if it's the ONLY style we'd see from now on. Then again, they've previously stated they'll play around with different styles, so. it's probably not that deep lol.

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!"
Thinking about a med student who was killed yesterday by russian bomb in Kharkiv with her graduation robe and cap lying next to her. She was supposed to have a graduation ceremony today.
Not the first, and definitely not the last victim of the terrorist country named russia
Her friend, Nani Adaobi Merian, a Nigerian graduate, also died from her injuries in the hospital. Another life destroyed by russians that will never be talked about by anyone except Ukrainians, because the whole world has normalized the fact that russians can kill as many people as they want and and has become numb to it.
In your opinion/imagination, Lu Ten's mother was...
Iroh's legal wife
A concubine (meaning she had some degree of official status)
Iroh's mistress
A prostitute
A married woman Iroh was having an affair with
An upper class Earth Kingdom woman Iroh met/"met" on campaign
A lower class Earth Kingdom woman Iroh encountered on campaign
A water tribe woman Iroh met
Someone Iroh had a one-night stand with
Something else (please explain in the tags)
show results
I ask this question because in all the official, "canon" material Lu Ten's mother is suspiciously absent.

Azula is the family member Zuko cares the least about, by far [and no, it's not because she's mean to him and no, this is not a post about Zuko's morality or anything like that]
So the entire premise of Zuko's arc is he spends years and years trying to regain his father's love and appreciation, that he spent three years trying to capture the Avatar so that his father would like him again. We even see in a flashback that exiled Zuko misses his father badly.
And when Zuko decides to completely break off his relationship with his father, he decides that this merits a dramatic confrontation, since his relationship with Ozai is so important to him. Even after that, the second to last scene of the series is Zuko visiting Ozai.
Zuko often takes Iroh and his support for granted, but even in Books 1 and 2 there are plenty of moments which act to reaffirm how much Zuko values and appreciates his uncle. He goes out of his way to protect his uncle on a couple occasions. And in Book 3, after Zuko has screwed up his relationship with Iroh, one of Zuko's core motivations becomes fixing his relationship with his uncle and regaining Iroh's love, trust, and appreciation.
Ursa is someone who Zuko talks about far less, yet the series makes it very clear how much Zuko misses her, with "Zuko Alone" and "The Earth King" and "The Day of Black Sun: The Eclipse." And the second to last scene in the series is Zuko trying to find her.
That leaves Azula. Zuko never seems to miss Azula the least, even though he hasn't seen her for years when the series begins. In fact, when she unexpectedly shows up and greets him, instead of being happy to see her, he's angry and suspicious (to be fair to Zuko, she did turn out to have ulterior motives due to Ozai's orders, but if he really deeply missed her, he'd probably be at least a little happy to see her regardless. Mai and Ty Lee reacted with joy the first time they saw Azula again). And in Books 2 and 3, there is essentially nothing to suggest that Zuko misses the better relationship he had with Azula when they were younger.
For instance, in "The Beach," Zuko angsts over an old photograph of his family.
His eyes focus on Ozai
and he remembers a happy memory associated with Ozai:
and then Zuko's eyes focus on Ursa
and he remembers a happy memory associated with her
Yet Zuko never looks at younger Azula in that picture, nor does he think of her at all. The "Happy Family" that Zuko misses includes Ozai, Ursa, and even Iroh and Lu Ten (shown in a separate memory sequence at little earlier), but not little Azula.
Ultimately, what we see in the first half of Book 3 is that Zuko is willing to take advantage of Azula's kindness, when she shows it to him, but he never acknowledges it, thanks her for it, or reciprocates in the slightest.
In the end, in the DoBS Zuko leaves Azula behind without a regret or even a thought. Ozai gets a big confrontation; Azula gets nothing. And after that, we see that Zuko misses Mai, and still feels complex feelings for Ozai ("Fatherlord," anyone?), but there's nothing to suggest he misses Azula at all or feels a deep attachment to her. The penultimate scene of the show even features Zuko visiting Ozai, not Azula.
Some people might point out that Azula is a bad sister to Zuko. That's definitely true. She says and does plenty of awful things to him over the series.
Yet that doesn't explain things. Ozai is far, far worse to Zuko than Azula ever is, yet Zuko cares deeply about Ozai to the degree that Zuko's entire arc is about it. Merely talking about "look how mean Azula is" explains almost nothing. Is possible to explain why
This does bring me to my main point. The ATLA fandom tends to believe that Zuko cares about Azula a lot and that he places a lot of value in having a good relationship with her, tends to believe that Zuko is obsessed with Azula.
However, the reality is that Zuko by far cares about Azula the least of any member of his family and that he places almost no value on having a good relationship with her. She is never a priority for him and is at most only an obstacle. All of Zuko's other family members loom far higher in Zuko's priorities and headspace than Azula. And if he is obsessed with her, it's not in a loving way. Maybe "Azula the enemy" and "Azula my advisor and emotional caretaker" are significant to him, but "Azula my sister" never seems to be.
Again, this isn't a moral judgement, merely a fact.
I would like "Katara and Zuko cheat on their significant others with each other" plotlines a lot more if it ended up having serious negative consequences for them. It destroys Katara's relationship with Aang, it damages her relationships with her family and tribe, it damages or destroys Zuko's relationship with Mai and weakens his power as Firelord, and ultimately Zuko and Katara are stuck with the consequences of their actions.
Do you think Sokka isn't acknowledged as a survivor of genocide not only by the fandom, but the show itself?
Yeah, I would agree that the show doesn't really acknowledge him as a genocide victim.
What's worse is that his savior complex goes unacknowledged for the most part, treated as irrational or turned into a joke in some scenes.
That's a direct trauma response. I want to make a post about it soon because that's something he has in common with Jet and those two happen to be my favorites.
