You know

As much as I love Zuko and his story arc I think I love Azula's just as much and that's because their stories work in tandem.

The beach episode is a really important turning point for her as a character because we see her out of her role of Weapon.

We see her as a teenager girl who struggles to flirt with boys, gets in arguments with her friends, and has a difficult relationship with her brother and who longs for a mother's love that she feels she never had

We see her not knowing how to act as anything but a tool of war. Because that's all she's been taught

I think that episode was the moment I really believed that Azula in the present day of the story did care for Zuko still.

That some part of her wanted her brother back

And after Zuko leaves and the day of Black Sun everything goes to hell for her

Mai and Ty Lee betray her

Zuko is helping the Avatar

Her father is sidelining her

She has lost everything and she desperate and alone and we see her falling apart

Azula is terrifying as an antagonist all through the second season and a good portion of the third. She is ruthless and callous and terribly good at her job

But the writers manuever us as an audience so when she faces off against Zuko in the climactic battle it's not a victory it's a tragedy

Zuko got his redemption or escape. His chance to find himself and who he is away from his awful abusive family

And in that moment we the audience are upset that Azula didn't

Because in that moment we see her for what she is: A teenage girl who had been raised to be a weapon

To be used until she broke

And we are heartbroken for her

And we know that Zuko is too

And that's really well done story telling

#avatar #azula #on the other hand i am also pissed that it’s the boy that got the happy ending #both that and korra treated women so fucking poorly #if she was the only one maybe i would accept it #but as it’s stands it’s just a fucking ugly pattern and it takes the joy out in retrospect #plus the turtle thing was so badly handled that the entire ending fell flat #but that’s a whole other issue

the Kamen Rider Agito dub is real and a really high quality asian-english dub to boot.

“If you have time to watch Netflix you have time for a side hustle” my side hustle is relaxing so that my body and brain can heal from by this nose-to-the-grindstone bullshit. I refuse to feel guilty for being a human with the need to relax sometimes. my side hustle is no.
