people on the fanon wiki will just straight up announce that they haven't actually watched the show huh

#atla #azulaposting #''she wanted to steal the throne from him'' girl WHEN #when he got banished? which she had nothing to do with? #when she actively chose to give up the role of crown prince(ss) by bringing him back? #when he decided WITH NO INVOLVEMENT ON HER PART to commit treason and be a good guy? #he's the one who plotted to steal the throne from HER #y'know that whole ''let's go beat the shit outta my sister'' thing? #like azula didn't manipulate him into giving the throne to her he literally gave it up when he COMMITTED TREASON #AND ANNOUNCED THAT HE WAS COMMITTING TREASON TO HIS FATHER'S FACE #you think he wasn't disowned as fuck? he threw LIGHTNING (back) at the fire lord! #azula had literally nothing to do with anything concerning zuko's place in line for the throne except for when she brought him back #and then again when he decided he was going to be fire lord despite DEFINITELY no longer being eligible (bc. y'know. TREASON) #at no point did azula ever even imply she wanted to take the throne from zuko #she EXPECTED it would be hers bc HE LITERALLY WAS NOT THERE #first he got banished and then he fucked off of his own free will #neither time had anything to do with anything azula did #hell azula is the only living member of the royal family we meet in the series outside of flashbacks who DIDN'T conspire for the throne #iroh managed to conspire for the throne despite debatably having the most right to it out of everyone #granted it was on zuko's behalf but STILL #hell even in the character assassinations i mean the comics no i don't she's not conspiring for the throne #she's trying to push zuko back towards what she thinks is the ''right'' path #but she's not trying to take it for herself #the only time azula even seems to want the throne is when her dad tells her it's hers now and even then she'd clearly rather he keep it #bc that'd mean he'd be sticking around and she was kinda sick of getting abandoned by then #azula: *getting crowned as per the previous fire lord's orders* #and no the argument that ozai wasn't a legitimate fire lord is entirely invalidated by how unwilling iroh was to do shit about fuck #which ended up proving ozai right come to think of it #he WAS a better fire lord than iroh. bc he. y'know. actually did stuff #gah
