Honestly Ozai’s treatment of zuko and Azula was probably less about who they were and more about him projecting what he wishes his father would have done for him with Iroh.
He is after all a second born child himself and he’s always just wanted his father to see that he was the better child.
Azula was never a person to Ozai not really she was just his self insert in the fanfiction he was writing himself. It’s why she stops mattering the moment he finds something bigger than being fire lord.
#it’s why even when zuko came back *better* he’d have still probably given the throne to Azula she is his power fantasy#I know he came up with the Phoenix king on the fly too#it’s all very fucked up your majesty#you just get the sense that there was something more ingrained in his dislike of zuko#Ozai just hates first born children on principal#except iroh unlike zuko who was *soft* (read cared about people) was probably either complacent or apathetic enough#(until Lu ten’s death) to be a pretty good fire nation heir. or atleast azulon thought so.#he was all about that second child agenda. there’s something intoxicating about exceeding your older sibling heir to the train to#the point it’s undeniable to everyone that you deserve it more and azulon don’t recognize it in him so he’s so it for Azula#princess azula#zuko#Atla#avatar the last airbender#fire lord ozai#atla ozai#ozai#young Ozai#throwing thoughts to the void#uncle iroh#atla zuko#prince zuko#atla azula#fire nation#the fire nation#fire lord azulon#fire lord zuko#zuko and azula#Iroh and Ozai#endlessly flipping coin
