#wasnt even stealing from the corporations he was fully just stealing from other refugees

[hella1975]

book 2 zuko really didnt give a fuck like they could have bimbofied him so easily as the rich kid properly roughing it for the first time in his entire life and having no concept of money or how it works like zuko could have no thoughts head emptied his way through ba sing se one 'why not print more money' at a time but NO he didn't even fucking hesitate to just rob people of all their shit the moment he stopped having things

#he was FIGHTING that customer service job with his bare hands iroh had to drag him into that kicking and screaming #'news just in: prince finally suffers life as an average downtrodden citizen #completely skips the 'why not print more money' spiral and jumps straight to a life of crime' #my guy didn't even TRY and figure out economics #this dumb bitch went 'why pay money for things i can take for free?' and genuinely thought that was a valid question #no wonder he passed out the first time he did something actually morally good like this boy is a total piece of shit #wasnt even stealing from the corporations he was fully just stealing from other refugees #and if ur like 'he was on the ship for three years he's roughed it before!' ur WRONG #bc guess what that is still a guaranteed accommodation and there was obviously some sort of funding and as shoddy as it was #there was also still a hierarchy where the crew were very much under his command and he was still a prince #it's VERY different to the earth kingdom where for the first time he's not a prince he's literally just some guy #and him and iroh literally have NOTHING to their name but the clothes on their back #and zuko didn't even let that breathe he didnt even have time to realise how shitty it was bc he was already stealing shit LMAO #asshole i hate him honest to god sokka should've hit him harder with that boomerang #atla #zuko
