If I had a nickel for everytime the Avatar fandom had an unreasonable amount if hatered for a traumatised younger sister charater, demonised her and interpreted her actions in the least charitable way possible in order to make her scarred older sibling look better, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that happened twice.

Zuko and Lin fit the mould of "traumatised but secretly a softie that can be fixed" that usually gains characters a lot of s6mpathyy for their less then stellar actions. Also a lot of (frankly exhausting) woobification.

Azula and Suyin express their trauma through less desirable/palatable behaviours, which is why they're so often overly demonised by the fandom.

The fire nation's defeat was technically Azula's fault.

Zuko and Iroh were branded traitors and failures. Azula was given specific instructions to capture them, dead or alive. Azula had them both red-handed in Ba Sing Se. Instead of doing what she was told, she asks for Zuko's help and she clears his name in return.

Now, it could be argued that without Zuko's help, she would've been pummeled into submission by Aang and Azula. Well, then after his usefulness was used up, she had a chance to pull yet another fast one and apprehend him without having to lie to Ozai.

Zuko acted suspiciously. He made Azula doubt that Aang really died and she began to think that Zuko may have had something to do with his survival. Instead of searching for proof of Aang's survival and informing her suspicions to Ozai, she puts unnecessary risk on herself and sets up a gambit that was ultimately pointless in more ways than one.

If Azula did what she was supposed to do, Zuko and Iroh would be dead or put in prison which leads to Zuko never finding out about the plans with the comet, Aang never finds a firebending sifu, the FN gains victory unopposed, and Azula can reign as Fire Lord.

In short, by choosing to lend Zuko a hand more than once, she indirectly did Team Avatar a huge favor.

Boom: Butterfly Effect.

The FN's MVP was also Team Avatar's MVP. I do enjoy the irony.

I wonder though, what would the Gaang's, Azula's Zuko's, Iroh's, Ozai's, and all of FN's reactions when realizing this epiphany?

It would break Azula.

...no seriously. It would break her.

While I think it would be a bit of a stretch to say that the defeat of the Fire Nation was her fault (cause there's no way in hell she could've seen bringing Zuko home would end up with his betrayal of Ozai), I do think she was hurting already with Zuko betraying her. If she was torn up about Mai and Ty Lee turning on her, I have no doubt she'd feel the same about Zuko regardless of what her relationship with him is right now. Add on to the fact that this is a girl that is hoisted with way too much responsibility than she is able to handle (being driven to become perfect at any cost), a revelation like this would destroy her.

And the fallout wouldn't be pretty. At all. It would probably rival her breakdown at Sozin's Comet, if not be worse. Hell, I think Zuko and Iroh would be a bit concerned for her. Zuko did seem somewhat regretful at her state after the Last Agni Kai and Iroh (while not Azula's biggest fan) probably wouldn't be that callous to brush her off.

Ozai would hate her though. Hate hate HATE her though. He puts on so much pressure for her to be perfect. What do you think the abusive piece of shit is going to do when he puts two and two together. Might even disown her on the spot, which will cause her to spiral even more. And she'd probably lose a lot of support in the Fire Nation for indirectly letting an unpopular successor on the throne, which would cause her to spiral even further.

...kind of why I don't really want to put the blame on the Fire Nation's defeat on her since the poor kid doesn't need that on top of her failures already. Besides, I think the defeat of the Fire Nation can better be laid on Ozai's feet. I mean, he was the one who banished Zuko and mistreated both him and Azula. If we want to go indirect, he set up a domino effect. And directly, he wasn't able to consolidate the Fire Nation's gains at the end of the war which led to a huge rebellion movement. And he certainly didn't seem to want to get involved with fighting Aang during the Day of the Black Sun which could've stacked the odds further against him when the firebending was turned back on. Mind you, this was before Zuko showed up. Like he was sipping tea while Azula was holding the Gaang off.

That being said, I could see him pass the buck off on Azula for the Fire Nation's defeat. Which would lead into the scenario I just outlined above.

tales of ba sing se is one of my favorite episodes (of television in general tbh), and it’s just proof that sometimes filler episodes are 100% necessary.

let’s stop with these 8 episode shows. they’re too rushed and the pacing is awful 80% of the time anyway. why are we so afraid of filler?? it’s so important for delving into the actual personalities of the characters instead of just seeing how they act when completing some harrowing quest.

i want to see how they react to a girls day or to an awkward first date. give me all the fun superfluous details that we would never see otherwise. i love filler episodes so much!!!

I posted these on my tiktok a while ago and forgot to post them here. Here's some lore development and character sheets for my Spider-Katara character. For the moment, her name is Ice Weaver, which I'm not really satisfied with and will change later, but for now it's a placeholder name.

I would also like to announce that I will be doing emergency commissions because my job has drastically reduced my hours and I really need some extra income. I also really want to get my commission work off the ground and would appreciate the support.

Thank you!

There's something about Kataang transforming Cranefish Town into Republic City, and then Korrasami taking over and shaping it so much into its modern form

Azula + Lin AU "Republic City"

Azula: This city is a cesspool. Lin: ...what. You're not getting any arguments from me. Why do you think I wear my armor everywhere? Azula: I mean, yeah. But I was thinking more about the architecture. It's so...odd. Like somebody decided to make everything drab and gray. And when it's not, it's garish and out of place. Lin: It was part of that new architectural movement once Republic City started to get a lot of prominence on the world stage. Saves more money and whatever. Needless to say, none of the other nations like it. Azula: Well that's good to hear. And the noise from these automobiles. I can't hear myself think. I swear it wasn't this loud back in the day- [An automobile nearly runs Azula over] Azula: EH! I'M WALKING HERE! [slams the hood of the car] I'M WALKING 'ERE!!! [Lin just stares as the automobile drives off] Lin: Yeah, you'll fit in just fine.

I love how Avatar perfectly balances "the kids are going to save the world!" with "which is pretty fucked up, actually."
