#read one story where Azula grapples with the fact that Ursa had a lot more trauma by the time she was born and

[certified-bi]

Thinking about how when Zuko walks through the earth kingdom pretending to be as a refugee and some people notice his eyes but honestly they're not the first thing you notice given the scar and the fact he doesn't let many people near him. No while some of the towns have people who sneer most look on with pity. People like Song and her mother, Lee and his family see the scar and see how the fire nation attacks and maims children. And the worst part is Zuko has little to combat that with because it's true but he's not ready to hear that.

Other assumptions are of course that he's a bastard of some solider with bad luck. That his mother was forced into having him and may the poor woman rest in peace... and later him realizing how true that was of Ursa. What really sets her apart from any of the earth kingdom common women forced into mockery of relationships or forced to sleep with soldiers to stay alive? Maybe the threats were more veiled but it boils down to the same ultimatum.

#atla #anyways i think Ursa gets a lot blame for things she couldnt really control #she was stolen from her home #forced into a marriage and to have children and then forced to see those children hurt #and thats without thinking about how Ozai probably treated her #behind closed doors #read one story where Azula grapples with the fact that Ursa had a lot more trauma by the time she was born and #just the concept of “i dont know how much of it im responsible for... but know it wasnt your fault #ugh gets me #allusions to rape #cw rape #sa #rape #cw sa
