Azula, in Avatar: The Last Airbender

#most iconic introduction to any character in the history of the world #she's my best girl #i love her #she's the best #Azula #atla azula #azula atla #avatar the last airbender #the last airbender #azula deserved better #*

[waywardavatarenthusiast]

just so we’re on the same page, if azula isn’t redeemed and at peace by the time the aang movie rolls around, she better have her own slice of life.

you mean 12 years post war, aang and katara get to be engaged/married, zuko could have a kid on the way for all we know, and azula will still be zuko’s scheming little sister?

i swear if she’s a villain and doesn’t finish dinner and tuck her children into bed before heading to her lair, i’ll be done with atla.

#atla #azula #avatar studios #don’t you dare steal her time and youth bryke #i hope ursa tries to have a relationship with her grandkids and discovers she hasn’t earned that #i need zuko to be her side hobby at best #she needs a doting husband who doesn’t know what a girl like her is doing in his small village #and kids who don’t know that mommy is an enemy of the state

mai and azula are genuinely best friends and ty lee is that one girl who everyone talks to that sat with them at lunch once to be nice and it somehow developed into a freaky crush/hostage situation

#she has like four other friend groups but is now kind of just mai and azula's pet social girl. they've all kissed each other at least once #azula and mai are THE meanest bitches on the planet #mais there to throw knives at people and cackle when azula makes someone cry #type of best friends that have a catastrophic argument and dont talk for 2 years. then act like its business as usual #terrible terrible worsties #ty lee #mai #azula #atla #veran speaks

Neon Nights with Jinx and Azula (Silhouette)

This was originally supposed to be a much simpler artwork, but I got COVID and had nothing else to do, so I got a little bit carried away😂I had originally intended to just do silhouettes and have a solid background, but I hate making things easy for myself, soooo that’s how this happened. 

I designed this as just an Azula artwork, but the aesthetic fit Jinx so well... I just couldn’t help myself. I honestly think I’m happier with her version, but I think both turned out pretty well. 

I have another painting in the works right now, but it’s gonna be a while before it ever sees the light of day. It’s another Gladiator one, but it’s a bit ambitious, soooo we’ll see how it goes...

Oh! And Azula is drinking a Manhattan (cause she likes the spiciness of a good Rye, obviously), and Jinx is drinking a CyandTonic, my namesake and a drink I created (in case anyone wanted to know what my name means). Maybe I’ll add the recipe in a fanfic or something 🤷‍♂️

Azula to Ty Lee: You made friends with me. Against my will, but still.

#incorrect quotes #source: two broke girls #azula #Ty lee #I Headcanon that Azula went to school all ready to just learn and get the best grades #then Ty Lee met her and attached herself to Azula #Mai joined the group later

It’s the way I love this picture so much 😭 I hate myself! It just looks like a dad with his little precious baby daughter but we all know the truth 😭 I hate it here!

haruno sakura .. blorbo of all time

#best girl 💕💕💕💕🙁 easily top 5 fav anime characters #brainrot time #FILLED WITH LOVE i gotta talk about my other top characters #obi wan and mob and deku and giyuu and iris and akari and zuko and azula and violet and ingo and kakashi and ash #oh ! and ruta ^_^ from gachiakuta #rudo #ludo .. #his name has an annoying amount of translations

[comradekatara]

imho azula is trying too hard to be sane (understandably)/takes herself way too seriously and thats why her breakdown is so Much, whereas sokka is usually fully aware of and vibing in his own (justified) paranoia/nihilism/feelings of incompetence/etc. he is, as you have said, the universe's fool, and thus has to get a lil silly with it sometimes. but in another life where he had built himself up as A Person and hypercompetent from the start (as opposed to acceping his destiny as Guy Who Dies Heroically Protecting His Sister) any instance where he comes close to Losing It (yue, the aftermath of the day of black sun, etc) would be much more drastic

exactly. i think it's very easy to be deceived into seeing sokka as Just a Normal Guy (as he supposedly sees himself!) because he processes everything so internally (like beneath cavernous layers of denial and cognitive dissonance) that he has to be really pushed into revealing his own true feelings.

those pushes can only really be seen in "the swamp" when he faces a vision of yue (not the real yue, of course) at which point he finally admits to aang and katara that he thinks about her all the time (and yet this is something he does not bring up unless forced to), and in "the boiling rock" when he admits to zuko that he knew it was a suicide mission (and notably he only considers escaping and "calling it quits" once he thinks it's in the best interest of suki, and zuko–who he now cares about as a person).

but we see that sokka does not value his own life at all in the very first episodes when he faces down the fire nation ship all by himself, and just because sokka seems fairly relaxed about it in "the boiling rock" doesn't mean he is not having a full on mental breakdown lol. like azula has been burning the candle at both ends, her breakdown was only a matter of time. but sokka has so unpersoned/objectified himself (not a sex object to be clear, more like. a shield) that he can barely cry at all (he doesn't even cry when he loses yue. it takes him watching the ember island players for him to even remotely process that grief).

azula has walls up and sublimates herself to her father/land, similarly to sokka, but she also very much perceives herself as having value due to her fn supremacist ideology (the divine right to rule, powerful firebender, heir to the throne, etc.), whereas sokka sees himself as impotent, insignificant, Nothing.

but just because he copes by retreating into himself and/or making jokes about it does not mean that he does not have the most fucked up little psyche you have ever seen. he simply keeps it hidden, except for the occasional comment hinting at his abysmally low self esteem and suicidal state of being. he is a tightly sealed vault. most repressed depressed panini-pressed boy in the world sixteen years running. self esteem so low it's underground. therapy couldn't fix him but the docs in vienna would have a hell of a time studying him!

#beangods #asks #sokka #analysis #azula&sokka #sort of #i think yue actually comes closest to sharing that wavelength #where they bond over having the same mental illness 😭 #i have a good post abt that somewhere #the siblingism of sokka's crazy is what makes it soooo fascinating tho #like his whole world revolves around katara #that's crazy!!!!!!!!!! #toxic codependent sibling relationships are the best #it's not even rly toxic on katara's end she's mostly just normal. like she has baggage but she's also just insane in a normal 14y/o girl wa #sokka is insane in a . 'he needs to be studied' way

[bi-fma]

Idk if this is a hot take or not but Toph is by the far the best/most talented bender in a:tla and that's just not up for debate tbh

#not only is she the youngest #she also INVENTS A SUBFORM OF BENDING #like katara and azula? prodigies. queens. love them. theyre also taught (to one extent or another) their sub-bending styles #she also learned directly from the original masters #no im not counting the dude who taught her basic forms or whatever #and the way she uses her bending as a literal extension of herself? the way bending is (seems to be i guess) #the main way she interacts with the world???? #cannot emphasize enough SHE DISCOVERED A WAY TO BEND METAL #WHICH PEOPLE NEVER EVEN THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE??? #and shes like. ten. #also like obvs you can disagree but like. i dont want to debate soooooo #also also im not saying whether or not she could beat ppl like azula and katara cause thats a whole separate thing #but she is the best bender/has the best understanding and connection to her element #and like i know katara heals herself before shes ever told thats a thing #but i dont think healing is a subtype of bending??? i think its just a technique??? #like not to discount my girl shes great and wickedly powerful #but like. #toph is simply the best #oh yeah also #atla

[seyaryminamoto]

What gladiator antagonists do Sokka and Azula hold the most hatred for? They've come up against some really despicable enemies during their time together and they both probably have different picks for most hated thorn in their sides as well as some good picks for second most hated. I think Ozai will take first place for both of them.

Gee... that's a tricky one.

Thing is they both hate Shaofeng a lot. I would assume most readers do too xD he's probably the one character with virtually zero redeeming qualities in this story. I can't be bothered to say a single good thing about him because he's just the worst. So, yeah, they hate this asshole big time and so do I!

At this moment... Iroh is also a big choice for them both. He's someone you expect better from, is the way I see it... and someone who wasn't acting all that blindly when he made the crucial, terrible choice he made. He was impulsive, very foolish, and he fucked up majorly with what he's done. While he certainly can have more redeeming qualities than Shaofeng (honestly it's actually hard to have as few as Shaofeng does, considering the number in his case is zero x'D), their resentment towards him isn't likely to go away anytime soon, as he's pretty much the artificer of their downfall, regardless of whatever remorse he may feel now over what he's done.

But of course... Ozai. Oh, Ozai. This bastard even betrayed me X'D I have been relatively okay with him for years simply because his potential as a character is interesting. I've never and will never justify anything he does... but he's someone you can certainly create complex and interesting stories around. You can explore him however thoroughly as you care to! But then... then 236 happened and I saw red just as much as everyone else did, and I keep seeing red with him constantly ever since. He's a little less unbearable in flashbacks (such as one we'll see in chapter 253)... but I'm constantly thinking to myself that I hate him lately and that had never happened before the final arc of Part 2 xD safe to say he has made me mad in ways I never imagined he could make me mad. Of course, he has a horrible advantage over Azula in the fact that he's her father and, as horrible as he is to her, our poor girl can't fully sever her attachment to him... but Sokka utterly despises him and would absolutely wreck him to kingdom come if he has the chance. He objectively, empirically hates Iroh for what he's done... but I'd say he hates Ozai all the more because yes, Iroh is a bastard, but Ozai had virtually NO REASON to do what he's done. No one was forcing him to become the nightmare he has shaped himself into. It's all on Ozai to have reacted as he did, to have hurt his daughter as much as he has, and Sokka won't ever forgive him for that.

Jeong Jeong comes to mind next... ironically, Sokka almost died because of him, but he simply resents Jeong Jeong while Azula utterly HATES the guy. I won't say she hates him more than anyone else on this list, but she definitely would prefer living in a world without him xD she's perpetually uncomfortable regarding anything connected to this guy and wants nothing to do with him.

I don't think I'd say either of them hates Seethus? They're weirded out by him, and Azula is a little more weirded out due to the firebending connection, I suppose, but they don't exactly hate him, I think. So... he's not part of the list! xD Big congrats to Ol' Spooky for that achievement!

As for Rhone, weeeeell... dead as he may be, Sokka certainly hates him very very much still, kind of like how Azula hates Jeong Jeong. Azula certainly hates Rhone a little more than Sokka hates Jeong Jeong XD but she keeps her distance with him, so to speak, as he was someone who once mattered to Sokka and she wants to respect the bond that existed there. Sokka doesn't think she needs to respect it at all x'D but she still does.

Zhao... yeeeeeah, well. Sokka doesn't really hate Zhao, I think we all know that, though his opinion on the man is going to get a liiittle more complicated in due time and he will definitely have one very dark moment of absolutely despising Zhao. Azula, however... boy, she's not even back to square one with Zhao nowadays, she went even further than that. She definitely resents him more than she ever did before... and I guarantee that's not going to get much better in the future. Fact is, I have a VERY complicated scene with Azula and Zhao coming up in the next chapter I have to write, and I'm here answering asks instead of writing it because denial and procrastination are NICE! XD basically, Zhao's one of the people Azula grows to resent and despise the most in Part 3 due to... reasons :'D While at first it's completely plausible to say that Ozai is the bigger problem, Zhao goes on to become a problem of his own in several ways, and that makes Azula's opinion of him spiral downhill faster than gravity.

Now, moving on to less world-shattering antagonists x'D I'd definitely say they hate Hahn and Hina. They're basically the nightmare couple! They're not really that big a deal all in all, but if neither of them has to EVER deal with those two again, they'll be much happier about life for sure.

Huang Li! Cannot forget Huang Li, the wretched Amateur Arena handler. Azula very much hates him for everything he put Sokka through... Sokka very much hates him for the same reason + on behalf of all the gladiators he had to fight and all the gladiators who had to die because of this piece of shit. He's not really a significant villain and we definitely saw the last of him by now, but their resentment towards him is everlasting anyway.

Another less intimidating villain for sure is Kuan... the very incompetent and embarrassing Kuan. He does have his... fan? Fans, plural? Are there two of them? x'D but he's generally someone Sokka and Azula just can't stand because he's a nobleman with delusions of grandeur and an ego probably bigger than Ozai's (and that's saying something). While he's not among the people they hate most because he really hasn't been able to do anything utterly unforgivable to them, he's someone they would very much love to never deal with again, too.

Their hatred for the Prison Rig's warden is certainly more serious than for Kuan, probably on a similar level as their hatred for Huang Li tbh. He's not exactly important, but the awful things he's responsible for do make them hate him anyway... And I suppose we can just lump in all slave abusers as a general group of people they hate tbh xD if they could put a stop to them permanently and make them pay for everything they've done, they definitely would.

So... okay. After that... let's try to make a proper list with the individual characters I mentioned here XD

Sokka:

Ozai

Shaofeng

Iroh

Rhone

Huang Li

Prison Rig Warden

Zhao (he's as low as #7 because it's only at one specific point in time in the future...!)

Kuan

Hahn & Hina

Jeong Jeong

Azula:

Shaofeng

Zhao

Iroh

Ozai

Jeong Jeong

Rhone

Huang Li

Prison Rig Warden

Kuan

Hahn & Hina

Weeell this ended up being a strange top 10 hated enemies! x'D Hahn and Hina got lucky for not being frequent and prominent enough to warrant any higher spots in both lists, really, they're more annoyances than anything at this point. But I guess this works? XD

#anon #gladiator #top 10 most hated characters #... by the characters! #I don't know who are my top 10 most hated characters but it probably looks a lot like this #also #spoiler not spoiler but no Ursa is not in Azula's list and hasn't been for quite a while #since memorial day in the festivals at least #our girl is doing her best to get to a better place when it comes to her mother *wipes tear* #Sokka doesn't really hate Ursa either he just wants Azula happy and he respects whatever she'll choose regarding her mother anyway #whether to accept her or never forgive her makes no matter as long as she makes the choice she wants to make #if I forgot anyone then big woops I am very sorry :'D
