done thesis hell and now in the middle of portfolio hell, but have some fancy post canon Azulaang doodles I've been collecting in this file between other work HAHAHA

Azula is worried about being back in the Fire Nation for the first time in a long time and with short hair to boot. Aang is a supportive partner. LOL

my greatest flaw is that i would lowkey ship sokka/azula if i wasn’t so convinced that azula is a lesbian. bc just think about it. they’re both these hyper logical calculating masterminds with debilitating perfectionist complexes to hide their perceived worthlessness, so they’re constantly achieving, and while they never feel any real joy in winning, they get actually suicidal the second they fail at anything. they think everyone who can’t keep up with them is some sort of idiot because they refuse to live in a world where they are in fact more intelligent than most people, including the adults around them. they love making the most insufferable puns you’ve ever heard and get offended if no one laughs. they have daddy issues and mommy issues. they share so many of the things they have wrong with them. so like. just imagine how amazingly awful they would be as a couple. they would indisputably make each other worse , but in the most disastrously entertaining way possible.

#they would be SUCH a terrible couple. they would take over the world together. it would be awesome #pretty much every water / fire ship configuration involves them making each other worse #katara & zuko also have too many flaws in common #and katara & azula doesn’t work on any level but is SO juicy #both despite and because of that #the only exception is that sokka & zuko do make each other better unfortunately #I wish it could be a perfect quadrant delivering four different flavors of Nightmare Couple #but unfortunately zukka would work. really well actually #like canonically #azulasokka is still the funniest possible one tho #and I still think their friendship has the potential to be so awesome #just constant wordplay and bitching about idiots #toph mentions in passing what a trainwreck it would be if they ever dated #and sokka laughs until he cries while azula chuckles but is secretly thinking ‘why is that so funny? i would be a perfect gf...’ #azula #sokka #azula&sokka #unique kind of post for sokklas AND antisokklas #schrodingers sokkla

“Hakoda adopts Zuko” “The SWT adopts Zuko” “Hakoda adopts Azula” great great fine BUT WHAT ABOUT

Sokka adopting Azula as baby sis #2

Imagine the potential of her wanting her older brother, but he’s either not around when she realizes it, or she feels too guilty towards him to reach out.

But who happens to be there? Sokka. And he is basically the textbook definition of an older brother.

Honestly I don’t think he’d even question it if Azula came up to him wanting to talk or scream or just be held. He’s done it all for Katara before. What’s one more traumatized murder child to look after?

Fanfics that always have Azula stand trial for "war crimes" always baffle me. That could very easily blow up in Zuko's face. Really, what did Azula do during the war that Zuko didn't do before he changed sides? We see Zuko attack civilians all throughout book 1 in his pursuit of Aang. We never see Azula do this. And Zuko faced little to no consequences for what he did. It would make much more sense for Zuko to place the blame for his actions on Ozai, the literal adult who was fine with committing genocide. Not Azula, his little sister. Zuko would be giving his political allies ammo to use against him if he were to put Azula on trial, which is the last thing he would want to do. Because for anyone who doesn't want Zuko on the throne post war? He just gave them the perfect excuse to use against him.

#atla #azula #zuko #people really don't think before they write these fics do they #just admit that you want to see Azula suffer through any means necessary #and move on #because this logically makes zero sense for Zuko or even Iroh to do post canon #the fact that the writers themselves have never done this proves as much

Kiyi, seeing Zuko: Hi there Zuzu!!! 😃

Azula: No, no, no. Like this...

Azula: Hello, Zuzu. 😈

Kiyi:

Kiyi:

Kiyi:

Zuko: Azula, this is ridiculous. Don’t you have something better to teach her than how to torment me——

Kiyi: Hi there, Zuzu. 😈

Zuko: mmmoooooOOOOOOMMMM!!! 😰😭

#Comic writers: Hey so we’re gonna give Zuko the angelic little sister he always deserved to replace the demonic bad seed known as Azula #but if they had any brains at all they would have Kiyi be Azula’s sidekick #either she or Izumi are the key to Azula’s redemption imo because they’re the only family members capable of granting her a clean slate #and they’ll see her as a person rather than the Epitome of All Evil in the Universe #anyway Azula mentoring her little sister/peewee sidekick with shenanigans like this is adorable and I want to see it in canon #GIVE ME A WHOLESOME AZULA & KIYI AND/OR IZUMI RELATIONSHIP IN CANON DAMNIT #aight anyway that’s all for today folks #azula #kiyi #zuko #avatar the last airbender #atla #atla incorrect quotes #avatar incorrect quotes #I think I posted this in discord once but it never made it to tumblr

Post canon AU where Zuko and Azula pretend to be each other for political reasons. It starts when Azula steps in because she notices that Zuko is often being taken advantage of by the nobles and generals in his court, which she can't let happen because there is a legacy to uphold. She starts to plant just the tiniest bit of fear in them while making it appear that it came from the firelord. Zuko is kind of baffled when people start being intimidated by him, but eventually he catches on - while making sure Azula doesn't get too carried away - and gets in on the game. The next time someone tries to cheat him he says something like, "if you wanted my generosity you should have appealed to my sister." Azula plays the role of the gentle maiden princess who is there to temper the firelord's wrath scarily well, and Zuko and Azula start playing off each other, and the act starts to rub off on Azula, leading to an eventual redemption (because, like I said before, I think any Azula redemption would have to involve her seeing the benefits of changing - she starts to like seeing how people react positively to her when they aren't afraid of her.)

Are you going to continue with Au Tuberculosis?

Thanks for the question, Amor!

I'm not really a writer, I think I've made that clear before.

I was just throwing out ideas in my Au out of fun and boredom, even though they aren't "canon" in the Au.

You can imagine how the Au works, there really is no guide, you can even imagine Azula dying.

By the way, maybe I'll write more about the Au, although I won't continue in the other posts, there's no preview or continuation, just me throwing out my ideas of how it would work.

#Azula #atla #avatar the last airbender #My Au is not based on the other posts I made previously. #Gods #I feel like a creator of a series or movie. 🤭 #OHHHHH EL MAIZULEE IS “CANON” #that's the only rule bitches! #I hope writers see my Au and write it #it makes me want to read it #And I am the creator! 🤣

What if ATLA had 6 seasons, the War trilogy (books 1-3) and the Post-War trilogy (Books 4-6)?

Well, we do know that Eshaz did have plans for at least a Book 4 that got scrubbed. Some of the plans apparently were translated for the comics, so we do know at least some idea of how a post-war trilogy would start.

Course the execution left a lot to be desired.

As for how I feel such a story would go, it would be...a lot more complicated than what we got in the War Trilogy. Back then it was all about stopping the Fire Lord. Now the Gaang needs to begin the painful task of actually reconstructing a world torn by war. As Zuko said it himself, it's not gonna be easy. Particularly if one nation has been raised to effectively wage war on everyone else.

This brings me to my first point: I believe the Fire Nation should still take on an antagonistic role. Again, they were the one who waged a brutal war of conquest so they're gonna be the ones who would be the biggest obstacle to peace. Not in a "we're gonna restart the whole war" way, but more digging in their heels and resisting any attempts at reparations or insisting they didn't do anything wrong. Which makes sense. This was a people indoctrinated into believing their war was just, that they were the "march of progress" so it were. Trying to deescalate from that is an uphill battle given that there's 100 years of fanaticism and militarism they need to roll back.

This brings me to my next point: probably the biggest reason I can see why the Fire Nation would be so resistant to change is the death toll. Given how prevalent the war was on every level of society, somebody was bound to have somebody who lost their lives to the war. And now they're being told that their deaths were in the service for something evil or lesser. They lost, and thus the shame and deaths were all for nothing.

ALL Fire Nation character will have to deal with this. Zuko (let's not forget he was part of that system too). Mai. Ty Lee. Iroh. And most importantly...

Yeah. Azula. I've talked about her before in length, but I think she'd be the key of this whole post-war trilogy. Remember, she was one of the most ardent supporters of the war being Ozai's golden child. And she lost everything in the process. I feel that she'd be the best character to help emphasize the painful process this deradicalization would bring. That it's not going to be easy, and more often than not, it's going to hurt.

Course...there's always hope.

It's made clear time and again that the Fire Nation is NOT inherently evil at birth. While their society supports cruelty and warmongering, that doesn't mean the people who lived under such a system are condemned. Zuko was the first step towards reformation, but he's only one guy. Now the whole society, made up of people who hadn't seen the things he had, needs to make the same transition. Now personally, I feel this arc was botched in the comics.

But that doesn't mean such an arc being the core of the Post-War Trilogy can be something truly special. You don't even need an overarching villain. Just people who ultimately need to be shown the way because they don't know any better.

And...speaking as someone who grew up in post 9/11 America, people who learn to leave behind their violent past and forge a new destiny can be important to so many of us.

Keep seeing so many “hot takes” about Zukka in particular that basically boil down to “this ship isn’t logical because the characters don’t interact enough” and all I gotta say is…

Shipping has nothing to do with canonical interactions.

If you are limiting ships to “do these characters interact a lot” then fella, I gotta say, you are invalidating so many ships and limiting your imagination to embarrassing extents.

It’s fine if you don’t like a ship. It’s fine if you don’t get a ship. Clearly a ship you aren’t interest in isn’t for you.

But no ship is invalid just because there isn’t much or any interaction between the characters.

#zukka #but this goes for any ships really #lack of much interaction doesn’t invalidate a ship #Zuko and Yue don’t really ever interact but that’s a great ship!! #Azula never meets Yue but I’ve seen it shipped and it’s done well!! #why do you care so much about ships you don’t like and invalidate them in spaces meant for everyone? #you’re just bringing in negative vibes and it’s a shit take anyway #live and let ship #ask a friend in a private if you gotta grouse #feel free to also ask in an open way like ‘why do you guys ship this’ if you want stranger’s opinions #but don’t be like ‘this ship doesn’t make sense and you’re grasping’ when shipping is about transformation #like honestly #not naming any names or touching those posts myself because I don’t like stirring shit #but it’s honestly so ridiculous to shit talk ships #venting all my frustrations with fandom right now #kids these days don’t realize you can ship characters who have no connection whatsoever #or characters with themselves #or characters from different canons and media #and it’s all still valid even if it’s not for you #because your tastes will never completely coincide with someone else’s #just accept that you don’t like a ship shrug it off and move on to what you do like #I swear you will be so much happier and leave fandom a much happier place if you do #it’s all about finding things you like and staying in your own lane

tams azula is sooo fascinating bc while canon azula doesn't really show her age at all like she's completely desensitised to so much shit 'she is fourteen' is not a justification for ANYTHING both in her own mind and in other people's, in tams she has zuko. and yes the world has been abundantly cruel to her but zuko hasn't. he's basically raised azula and he's done so in a way that she's allowed to show her age, but she still only shows her age in very azula-esque ways. there's no reluctance to see violence like you'd expect from a fourteen-year-old, and like ive said before, that means zuko can't play on that reluctance in order to shield her, but he still wants to shield her from that violence because regardless of what SHE feels about it, as the eldest he knows fundamentally that she shouldn't be seeing certain things no matter how well she can handle them. and seeing zuko effectively PLAY azula in order to protect her is so interesting and complicated and fun

#and also a little heartbreaking bc it's the 'you protect azula but who protects you?' #like in order to shield azula from these things zuko is metaphorically standing in front of her and seeing them himself #as if he's not only sixteen and a child too #but yeah taking azula's canon traits and manipulating into the tamsverse is soooo fun #like the example that inspired this post is how canon azula is logical NOT cruel #like time and time again she follows only the logical route and even actively avoids the cruel route #e.g calling off torture in the boiling rock bc she knew that he was telling the truth and therefore continuing to torture him was illogical #im not saying azula is averse to/incapable of cruelty i just hc that she genuinely just thinks it's stupid #just like any other unnecessary act would be considered stupid. if it's not logical or being used for a greater plan then what's the point? #and tams azula STILL HOLDS THIS TRAIT except because i lean more into her age in tams bc she's been given the freedom with zuko #to liberally be a CHILD without any consequences as a result of that simple thing #her intense logic actually becomes a certain naivety on azula #like she cannot comprehend other people NOT coming to the conclusions she comes to #and that expands to needless cruelty. like she wont factor a person's cruelty into her calculations #because in her head all she needs to dismiss that calculation is 'excessive cruelty here would waste time which is illogical' #she assumes everyone is as smart and to-the-point as she is so when they ARENT and will actively waste time just to do dumb shit #it catches her off guard and she DOESNT PLAN FOR IT so it can really fuck them over sometimes #so this is one instance where zuko has azula beat despite it being STRATEGY aka azula's strong point #bc zuko's immense cynicism and assumption that Everyone Is Awful doesn't hold up against logic 9 times out of 10 #but the one time it does is the time azula gets caught out #i just think tams zuko and azula's dynamic is so fucking interesting im so clever for that tbh #twice as many stars

The argument against Azula getting a redemption arc being “she’s already great as a villain!  why would you want to ruin that?” is one of the most brain-dead takes in the fandom, because completely stagnating her growth as a character just because she worked fantastically as a villain does nothing but actively make her worse now.  Look at Smoke & Shadow.  That’s not the villain y’all are talking about when you talk about Azula, but that’s what you‘ve got.  Not every villain needs a redemption arc, but every villain needs an arc, because that’s how story writing works.  Leaving Azula as she is now is just insulting & does nothing for the overall narrative other than have a ‘crazy evil girl’ to mildly inconvenience the main cast every now and again.

And y’know, since Azula & Zuko’s stories are so closely linked to one another’s, Azula getting her redemption arc with the help of Zuko, who helps her as Iroh helped him - that would also be more growth and progression for Zuko. 

#azula #zuko #atla #atla meta #osposts #bc korra exists we know azula cannot cause an impact as a villain #at least post canon #at most she could maybe retake the throne but thats not azula's motivation #and then that could only last for so long #bc zuko and aang have to build republic city #the alternative is just killing her off or having her imprisoned forever #which if you want #what the fuck is wrong with you #like where's the arc there #where's the character progression. theres NONE #if she gets killed off then she's being fridged for zuko #if she's imprisoned for life then nothing happens at all #wish i shove this into every post i see about this

Saw you mention a Sokka and Azula relationship some days back. Any elaboration?

@spacecuttle Sokka/Azula? I saw you say they could make each other worse.

well they share all the same flaws and complexes but are also scarily intelligent so they would just enable in each other in the worst possible ways if left to their own devices. like they could rule the world together but also feed into all their worst impulses to be condescending assholes who simultaneously negate their egos and consider themselves nonhuman vessels of obedience and sacrifice for their respective causes (both informed by the patriarchal logic they have internalized thru their fathers). they are so fucked up and insane, whether as rivals or as friends or even something more, because it’s like. well it’s the recognition of the self through the other but also they both refuse to look in the mirror (they both have their mother’s face btw) so it’s just this undefinable essence that exists within them both that they refuse to locate despite being so brilliant and observant otherwise, bc their biggest blind spots are themselves, but somehow they know the other like the back of their hand, except they don’t even know the backs of their hands. do you get what I’m saying no i think i sound insane. but they ARE insane. is the thing.

realistically i think postcanon they’d begrudgingly get along because azula genuinely respects sokka and sokka thinks she’s kind of funny and also just feels bad for her (again, he’s like “wow she’s so fucked up. glad I’m normal and nothing like her”) so he sort of just hangs out with her out of pity, but eventually does grow genuinely fond of her. adopts her as yet another little sister (which zuko thinks is crazy he’s just like “ummm you can have her”) and they play pai sho together and talk political theory and gossip about zuko and the gaang. azula tries to get into engineering and physics to help him with his research but realizes that she’s actually way more into politics and history than math and science (like she’s good at it, but it’s not as fun for her) so sokka starts giving her history books with slightly more accurate information in them so that they can actually have a conversation that isn’t just him attempting to dispel imperialist propaganda for two hours. and aang gets really into it too and they start a little book club where they read history and philosophy and go to archives and older libraries.

and they’re just vibing they’re just hanging out but everyone around them is afraid that one day zuko is going to do something so stupid that they’re just gonna snap and stage a coup d’état and take over the world. but thankfully they’re both so fucked up in the ego that even though they’re both constantly like “zuko is an idiot who should listen to all my advice” they never once consider actually deposing him. because their role is to serve not to rule. but no one else knows that they are loyal and humble before anything (because they’re also loud, condescending assholes) so everyone just lives in fear of them snapping. they don’t tho. but they could :)
