#azula fans

[balanceoflightanddark]

As everyone is probably aware, I am an Azula fan. And I've been left..."estranged" is the best word I can say from the franchise. I think I speak for a lot of people that how the comics' handled her hurt a lot of us. Pretty deeply. Characters we used to look up to were now reenacting every nightmare scenario we could've imagined.

Azula in the Spirit Temple was a step in the right direction, but the fact is for a lot of us, it's going to take a long time to recover. The near future is going to be hard for the old guard. Full of uncertainty both with the Netflix remake and the upcoming Avatar Studios movies (if they ever get released). This is on top of a decade of bad takes which hit every button and some pretty upsetting content that'll form a bedrock for new stories going forward.

So, I get the apprehension. I really do. Hell, I was right there when the Azula comic came out. It's the same anxiety that kept me on the backend, wondering what else they're going to put her through next. Particularly with how for such a long time, the comics were the only real continuation we had of the original series. Made us feel that we didn't have a voice in the wider community.

Course the obvious consensus is that we're obsessed. And perhaps that is true. I feel though that Azula means a lot to every one of us. For me, her story was that of self-destructive perfectionism and striving for belonging in a world against her. Finding something that would never come. Struggling with one's own mental health. Being raised in a society that teaches you to be a soldier and adult first, human being and child second.

She meant a lot to me. As she means to so many others. And nothing is going to take that away from us.

Times have changed. Azula's perception is being rewritten in the fandom at large, possibly within the franchise as a whole. Obviously, there's always going to be naysayers, and I understand that breaking bread and coming back to the fandom is asking a lot. So I won't. There are uncertain times ahead. And for many of us, it will be painful.

Know then that you are not alone. There's others that feel the same way you do. And we're in this together.

Feel free to share your thoughts.

I just finished rewatching ATLA and I have to say…

Absolutely insane to me that people were insisting that Azula not getting a redemption was “misogynistic” and some kind of writing mistake. The girl told her dad to commit mass genocide.

#txt #I genuinely think a lot of ATLA discourse would not exist if people just rewatched the show instead of letting their memories be warped by #fanfiction and memes #like I’ve seen Azula fans give iroh a lot of shit for calling her crazy #but they don’t mention that right before this she SHOT HIM IN THE HEART #anyways I love Azula and I’m glad she wasn’t redeemed. more of this please

I really like Azula. But the moment any fan starts hating on Zuko or uncle Iroh in order to defend her, I lose any interest in the possible discussion.

#zuko #uncle iroh #avatar the last airbender #atla #not tagging Azula so those fans who hate on Zuko or Iroh won't start writing essays under my post

not even harvards top scientists could understand the complexities of the azula-iroh beef lore that i made up in my head

(silly bonus under the cut)

#YES THIS IS A REPOST. Again. my bad #they both suck so bad i love them... best uncle niece dynamic in fiction ever..... theyre the same in all the worst ways.... #yes im an iroh fan yes i think azula can hit him with a comically large mallet we exist #“how do u think iroh and azula are the same but think azula should be allowed to beat irohs ass”. ill give you 3 reasons #1. shes a female. 2 shes not a boy. 3. and most importantly SHES A GIRL #waiter waiter more irrepairable family relationships please!!!!!!!!!! #id go on a 10 yr long spiel about my thoughts and hcs abt their dynamic and what they think ab each other but i shall Refrain. #lu ten couldve been the dad that stepped up but he had to eat shit and die for the plot and good of the world. Amen. #azula #iroh #lu ten #zuko #atla #avatar the last airbender #alicias art

Two things I want to do more of this year are be more vocal about fics that I’ve loved and make more art. Soooo I’m going to start posting my recs accompanied by art bc fic authors are incredible and deserve so much love and praise and I personally want to be better about doing more than just dropping kudos on ao3!

Kicking this off with New Heights by my talented friend @adriancatrin - a sweet zukka getting together/coming to terms with feelings story with a beautifully written Zuko & Azula dynamic. The dialogue made me laugh out loud, the characterizations are spot on, and the actual ‘getting together’ moment is incredibly tender and soft.

Go read and show Adrian some love!

ATLA crossovers my beloved

This is from @unorthodoxx-page 's fanfic A tale of spirits!

Words cannot describe how much I love this fanfic. Sundays have become my favorite day of the week for their updates. I really wanted to capture my favorite chapter so far and really wanted this comic to be perfect.

....Which is probably why I spent 2 months total on this project and 80+ hours on just the comic 😭😭😭

who wants to hear my absolutely stunning ideas for atla soap opera aus

#I said katara was bi in these discord messages but if you let me think about it for longer than 5 seconds I'll make a lesbian out of her #anyway I think this is the funniest concept in the world actually going forward I'm a divorced z*tara truther #if I have any secret z*tara fans following me (IDK HOW??? BUT JUST IN CASE) btw I'm sorry about this #I don't like them. I think you're used to that response though #atla #zukka #I guess. they are not the focus but we did talk about them #ok well if I'm tagging that #kazula #let's talk about kazula actually that is SUCH an interesting concept to me why is it not a more popular ship for azula at least #(<- girl who will ship any two women in the same age bracket ESPECIALLY if it's toxic) #ANYWAY THINK ABOUT HOW FUNNY THIS WOULD BE THOUGHHHH #DIVORCED Z*TARA I AM LOSING MY SHITTTT #if it's not clear here we all think zuko is gay as hell that boy does not like women
