#*looks at Zuko totally changing once aang comes into the picture*

[yuttikkele]

zuko was already a flaming homosexual, aang just FANNED that flame

[mystic-kitten-writer]

You’re so sweet for being so reassuring and not minding at all how I ramble about astrology 🧡 I’m very flattered with how you said how observant I am, thank you for that! But oh my gosh, please, there’s nothing to be jealous about. I personally feel like I get bogged down by details that at times I get too caught up and the bigger picture gets overlooked. (1/9)

And Zuko really is the poster child of a Mars man, you summed it up perfectly!! I am far from being an expert, but I love the validation you shower me with 🥰 Though I actually would love to reach a level where I can offer chart readings to anyone interested and have it be some kind of little side job one day. But ahh, there’s still so much I have to learn, from traditional to modern, it’s a discipline really worth getting into. (2/9)

I’ve never really thought about Azula’s nor Mai’s sign. Now I really want to think + look into it! It would be fun to analyze how that affected their dynamic with Zuko. I’ve been meaning to do a rewatch of the entire series due to quarantine, but even with staying home, there’s still school. And I find myself more stressed and not in the proper headspace to do a whole rewatch + be able to appreciate it properly. Idk if that made any sense, but hopefully I get over it soon. (3/9)

I’m hypothesizing that Azula has strong Leo/Scorpio to her, though she shows the negative qualities. She’s very loud, loud as in she makes people take notice of her + seeks praise/basks in any praise given to her, feeling entitled to all of it. Though I have to give it to her, she has this compelling vibe to her, so her entitlement is valid. She’s also cunning + manipulative and is a master at being so. Though none of that is her fault, she just really didn’t know any better. (4/9)

I would associate Mai’s no bull-shit attitude with Capricorn/Aquarius. I actually haven’t read the comics but her no bull-shit persona shines in the series and it’s fantastic! She’s not upfront with her feelings, but blunt with everything else. At the same time, she didn’t have a problem with stepping up when needed, such as stepping up to Azula. All of which fit into the archetypes of Cap/Aqua. And I agree communication between her and Zuko would be crucial for understanding between them. (5/9)

Those are my best guesses, I’ll get back to you more on how their signs played into their interactions with Zuko when I get to rewatching the series later! Yue’s gentleness comes from her Venus energy, and it’s wonderful how it allows Zuko’s inner Cancer to be visible. I also just realized Yue’s Libra energy and Zuko’s Aries energy play a part as to why they’re so appealing to each other too. They are opposites that just absolutely complement each other! (6/9)

Oh, I’m a Taurus + Libra moon + Sagittarius ascendant! Thanks for being curious ☺️ Going back to how you said you’re a Scorpio and your sister is a Taurus, I can relate. My mom is a Scorpio, and similarly, it took growing up for me to understand where my mom is coming from because we used to disagree on a bunch of things. I don’t have a proper explanation for it tbh. Other than the fact that Taurus and Scorpio are naturally opposites, so misunderstandings can easily arise. (7/9)

Though funny enough, I have a lot of people in my life that have Scorpio in their chart, and I’ve read a few times that if signs that naturally oppose each other make the effort to connect, then the connection is extraordinary. And as a Taurus, the people who positively affected me most are people with Scorpio energy, so I guess it’s the universe’s way of bringing balance. (8/9)

Omg, all of my asks basically make up a whole essay on astrology, and I really can’t believe I typed all that out. But thank you for sharing my enthusiasm for it 💓 I promise I can talk about things other than astrology though, aha. The next time I send you a message it’ll be on a different topic for sure! Also, I have no idea if any parts duplicated/are missing because Tumblr made me wait an hour before I could send everything. So I hope everything shows up properly! (9/9) - 🌻

I don’t know if it’s just me – but it makes my DAY getting long asks.

I love reading people’s words because you can tell how much effort and joy the person has while writing something (whatever the topic is). Like high-key, I wait for your asks because they’re always so long and in-depth, and as someone who suffers from word vomit – I can appreciate the passion and overall love. So, you better not send me short asks – I will hold it against you 😂 LOOL I need an essay buddy~! 😉

I AM CLAIMING DIBS ON BEING YOUR FIRST CUSTOMER. You can read my whole soul damnit because while I totally agree with you that Astrology is a broad discipline with much material to learn and cover, you have a vast knowledge on the topic already. I can totally see you doing it! You explain things very well, and as I read, I find myself learning stuff, and as someone who loves learning – your attention to detail and how clear you are is much appreciated.

Trust me, I get that feeling of stress. Like even though I finished school, and I can relax for the summer because my summer classes got cancelled, being stuck at home is starting to get to me. I’m very much an ambivert (leaning towards introverted), and usually, being alone is my fav zone. Still, I do enjoy going for walks and staying active (even if it's solo activities #Idontdoteamworkandusuallyendedupplayingsoloevents). But the weather has been poor, and I think all my family and friends are starting to get cabin fever 😅. Are you done your classes for the semester yet, or do you still have time to go?

OUUU, I see that mix of Leo Scorpio. Gosh, you're so good at this stuff. I can ask you questions all day LOOL. Like that manipulative aspect is, no doubt in my mind, a Scorpio thing 🙈. Like I’m a Scorpio, and even I can admit it – we’re master manipulators (for better or worse). But I’m surprised by the Mai one! Not because I don’t agree, but because I couldn’t pin one down for her, but I think you nailed it. I’m excited to see if you change your opinions once you watch the show. Because something I notice that happens naturally as you age, is certain traits of the zodiac signs become more prominent or disappear. Because, unsurprisingly, first episode Zuko to comic books Zuko are pretty much two completely different characters. He went from ‘don’t touch me’ to starting every single hug in the comic books with Aang and Sokka, etc. (Soft Zuko does things to me 🤭).

SO, QUESTION – how does Yue’s Venus influence Zuko’s cancer, and how does Yue’s Libra’s energy influence Zuko’s Aries? Like I know, they influence each other, but I’m trying to find the right words, or examples, of it happening. Or ways to describe how they affect each other. I’m sorry if I’m not making any sense. I just – there’s so much to learn, and I want to know more and more 🤯

HANDS DOWN, I would not label you as a Taurus!

I was going to label you as a Libra (so I’m happy I got that one right, kind of), but I’m so shooketh about the Taurus. But I can’t agree with you more on the fact that while Taurus/Scorpio’s are opposites, if they put effort into the relationship, it's incredible. Because I think a lot of it stems from miscommunication. Like I believe communication is vital in any given relationship, obliviously, but certain signs need an extra sprinkle of it to work.

My sister just had a second baby, and her first baby is a Libra/Scorpio cusp, and the second girl is Scorpio, and her husband is also a Libra/Scorpio cusp. I had to laugh and say good luck raising two mini-mes! She’s like I shot myself in the foot LOOL 😂😂😂

And don’t worry about it, hunny! If I ever miss a part, I’ll send a post right away in search of your missing ones because I need your words 😉

Chapter 5: The Distortion of Ozai

A few days later Ozai was on the terrace feeding peanuts to the crow, which finally decided to sit on his arm. He had a content smile on his face. The crow reminded him of his grandmother. Ozai felt happy and relaxed, but something still didn‘t feel right. Mya came and hugged him.

  M:        You look worried.

O:        I am. I had to think about Azula. My

girl is still in the looney bin. Such a waste.

M:        Why don‘t you write her a letter?

O:        That might be a good idea, actually...

  Ozai wrote:

  Dear Azula,

all days here are pleasantly sunny. I feel

good and am in good spirits. Please

don‘t hope for my return anytime soon. I

worry about you. Let go. You have

lots of talents, don‘t waste them out

of thirst for revenge. Go out and find

love, be merry and ignore your brother.

Your father Ozai

  We sealed the message and sent it to Zuko, who read it first before taking it to Azula:

  Azula was tied to the chair, when Zuko entered. He held open the scroll. Azulas eyes read the message and she looked abhorred.

  A:         This is a lie! Father would never write something as touchy feely as this.

Z:         It‘s his handwriting, clearly.

A:         They drugged him! They made him write this. This is not our father! We have a hidden code. All first words spell out the real message:

All good, don‘t worry, lots of love.

He would never say something like that. Something is wrong!

  Azula kept kicking and screaming.

  Zuko was in thoughts and asked timelord Mya to send in a new recording and to interrogate Azula.

  Azula was tied in a straightjacket and on her chair. She watched the door with contempt. Why did they want her to meet with her fathers captor? The door opened and a beautiful woman in a black uniform entered

  A:        Who are you?

M:        I am Mya.

A:         So you’ve taken my father?

M:        He came by his free choice, Azula.

A:         So did he fuck you already?

M:        You know your father. I have traveled numerous worlds, but he is special. Handsome, mean but in a very sexy way... Have you?

A:         What kind of question is that?

M:        (shrugs) Just wanted to get my facts straight. Tell me, would you take me seriously if I hadn’t fucked your father?

A:         You fucked him?!

M:        We’re all adults, Azula. I am honest with you. I’ll never treat you like a child, like your father does. You’re 19 and you know the ropes.

A:         Did you fuck my father?

M:        Are you jealous? It must be hard with a powerful, handsome dad like him. He’s cruel, but soo hot. No boy matches up to him. You idealize your father. But at the end of the day he’s just a man. A man who means a lot to me.

A:         So did you?

M:        Yes, I did. I will give you total honesty. He sent me with a message for you.

A:         He fucked hundreds of slaves at court, so don’t think you’re special.

M:        I don’t think I am. I hope not!

  Mya laughed and sat down facing Azula. Azula tried to move her hands, but panic crept into her eyes.

  A:         What’s wrong with me?

M:        I am a time bender, I am stronger than you or your father, my love. You can’t bend unless I permit you to. Now look at this.

  She held forth a tablet which showed Azula the footage of her father.

A:         What did you do to him?

M:        ???

A:         He looks... calm and relaxed... almost happy. You have drugged him!

M:        No, he’s just fine. He’s at peace, he spent his day training and teaching forms. We had tea and a nice day. We even ate fruit cakes and he taught his pet a new trick.

A:         This is not my father!

  Azula started to scream. The wardens sedated her and brought her away.

  Zuko heard about the scene and demanded to see the clip together with Aang, Katara, Sokka and Iroh.

  Z:         Azula said you drugged father?

M:        Look at the film yourself and tell me what you think.

Aang:   That face! He looks peaceful and even kind.

Iroh:     I haven’t seen him like this in years!

Sokka: He’s tanned and buff like if he was on a holiday!

Katara: He looks so... nice!

Z:         He looks happy. This can not be. I demand to see my father. And I want Azula to come along.

M:        It might be a painful experience for you two.

Z:         Why that?

M:        Ozai has changed very much - to the better! He‘s still mean, but his good side is stronger than his evil one. He reflects upon his actions and he is experiencing mercifulness, kindness and altruism. But seeing him with me might outrage you and Azula.

Z:.....    elaborate.

M:        He and I have been spending a lot of time together and we are very ... close.

Z: .       ...???

M:        Azula didn‘t take it very well...

Sokka: Wait... you‘re banging Ozai?

Aang:   I‘m sick...

Iroh:     He always had a great choice in women! I envy him for his luck!

Katara: He is your prisoner! You can‘t sleep around with him.

M:        Says who? It was part of his tantric healing therapy to unblock his heart and kundalini chakras. He is so fragmented that we celebrate tantric oneness to reassemble this Ozai puzzle until we have a pleasant picture. And it worked out fine!

Sokka: Can we please stop discussing Ozais sex life? I‘m going to puke.

M:        We successfully evened out his rough edges. He‘s a different man now.

Z:         It seems you have become prey to his manipulations. I want to see him and if I don’t like what I see I’ll put him back in his cell.

  A party with Zuko, Azula, Sokka and Katara joins me in the pod. Azula is contained in a straightjacket and force field. Aang can‘t join us as his place as avatar is within his world.

M:        You might all get sick upon arrival. Please puke into this bags, will you? Interdimensional travel gives you hard migraines.

Z:         Whatever it takes.

  A few seconds later we land. Sokka and Katara puke into the bags, Zuko looks sick but controls himself. Azula pukes into the bag I hold out for her.

  We exit the pod and walk to the house. Ozai is sitting on the terrace. He smiles and rises to greet us:

  O:        Daughter, it‘s good to see you. And my traitor son and the avatars two watertribe friends! You brought in reinforcement!

  Then everything goes superfast. Azula tears open her straightjacket and cries out: “You will not hurt father!!!” while pointing a strong lightning strike against me. Ozai jumps in front of me to take the hit. Azula screams: “Father!!!” At that moment I stop time. I tear Ozai away. The lightning has struck him just with it’s tip. I check on him, worried. He has a burn mark on his chest, but is not severely injured. I unblock his time.

  O:        Aaah...how is this possible? Why isn’t she in a force field?

M:        The force field takes a while to recalibrate in another dimension. This is why you didn’t wake in the pod... Then I unblock Zuko and Katara.

Z:         Father, are you alright?

O:        You’re just too soft, son. It burns like hell, but you know that well yourself...

Z:...

M:        Katara, do you have your healing water?

K:         It pains me to part with it for HIM. You apply it. I will not touch that man.

I put some of the healing water on his chest.

Then I unblock Sokka, who was a statue for 15 Min.

M:        What shall I do with Azula? The force field is on. If she uses her power and I open her time, she’ll fry herself.

I decide to move myself into her time.

M:        Don’t bend lightning or you’ll hurt yourself.

A:         What happened?

M:        You’re in a cage now. Your father tried to save me and took your hit.

  Azula looked horrified and started to cry. She totally broke down.

  M:        Don’t worry my dear, he‘s fine. I understand you well. I was just like you when I was young. He’ll recover, he’s strong. My poor love Ozai... I only wish for him a life without stressful women, but I think he just has bad karma...

Azula had to laugh. It wasn’t a mean, but a real albeit cynic laugh.

  A:         He‘ll never forgive me for this.

M:        He loves you. His love was buried, but now it‘s exposed. He‘s learning new ways, and so will you.

A:         You love him. I hear it in your voice.

M:        You love him more than I ever could. Let our love for him be stronger than all obstacles. I am reaching out my hand to you. Will you take it?

A:         Do I have a choice?

M:        You always have a choice.

  I held her hand.

  I took us forward in time to catch up with the others.

  M:        And we’re back. You guys didn’t fight in the meantime, I’m proud of you all. Azula and I had a good talk. I think we’re OK here.

Zuko:    I have seen enough. I did not agree to send Ozai on a beach holiday. He will return with us to his cell at once.

M:        Firelord Zuko, please honor our agreement. My world, my methods.

Z:         No, he is a prisoner, not a prince in a sunny beach exile.

I went to Ozai and held him. Tears flowing down my cheeks.

O:        I will be alright, love. I love you. But you need to forget me.

He embraced me and kissed my head.

M:        Ozai, please forgive me. I love you, please never ever doubt that, even if everything falls apart. I told you that I am a person with flaws, just like you are. Please, forgive me. All I did and all I have to do now was just because I love you. Please forgive me. I’ll always be yours and yours alone.

  Zuko and Azula looked alarmed. Katara was heartbroken but ready to fight. Sokka had his boomerang ready to strike.

  I held Ozai tight, closed my tearfilled eyes and said:

  “Computer, stop simulation.”

  One by one the elements of reality disappeared. The house, the pool, the terracotta tiling of the terrace. The birds, the cats. At the end they were all in a gigantic empty glistening white and completely empty hall. Finally, Mya disappeared pixel by pixel. Ozai screamed Nooo and stood there shattered in an empty embrace. A computer voice and pleasant background music appeared: “Welcome back to the simulation bay of the starship Vega Eternity. You will be joined shortly by our commanding officer and acting timelord of the Vega Multiverse Mya Moonseeker. Please relax and breathe in and out if you experience anxiety or sense of loss. This is very normal after such an immersive therapy session. We sincerely wish you betterment. May you rise up and dwell with the angels. Enjoy your stay with us, live long and prosper!”

  Far away a tiny door opened and a small figure in a black uniform appeared. About thirty soldiers in white uniforms accompanied the figure.

The soldiers created a cordon in which the figure approached. It was Mya. She looked different. She seemed very powerful and in control. But when she arrived, they saw that she had been crying. Her voice was shaky.

  M:        Sorry for this confusion. I need to apologize to all of you. Zuko, Ozai never left this cell. I never broke my promise to you and the court. He was and is confined under maximum security as you can see. This ship is manned with ten thousand soldiers under my command. All of our moves are recorded.

And Ozai, I am deeply sorry for all that I did to you. My love for you is true. This is a healing chamber. We use it to heal illnesses of the mind, broken hearts, anger issues and to cultivate empathy and love.

Zuko:    Where are we?

M:        This ship travels the worlds and times to fix temporal anomalies. Will you permit all of us to exit this hall and take a quick tour of my vessel?

Zuko:    Yes, ...

M:        Ozai, Zuko, Azula, please don’t firebend or you’ll be immediately executed by our security system. Katara, waterbending will result in a very nasty alarm going off. So please no bending, ok?

They moved through a long hallway with adjacent hallways and chambers. Then they passed a gigantic open hall, itself as big as the center of Ba Sing Se, full of lightened windows in which thousands of pods were flying from one point to the other. They had never seen anything like that.

Another door opened and they all entered a broad passage. Bird noises were playing, they passed a singing janitor robot.

  At the end of the hallway they arrived at a dining hall with a huge window outside which several galaxies were visible. A view of open space. Several soldiers were present in the room entering, leaving or serving tea.

  M:        We are in deep space at the rim of two touching universes which are called the Vega multiverse. Your world is a habitated planet in one galaxy in the universe on the other side, we are now in my universe near my home galaxy and planet. The shining gap there is the wormhole between both galaxies. The blue dot there is my home enlarged. Please. Sit down, drink this marvellous white tea and listen.

  Planets, which contain intelligent life at the same time, are very rare in the multiverse. Millions of years ago, our universes collided and created the Vega multiverse. Two universes which did partially melt together. Your civilizations and the ones of this universe are closely interdependent. Each of the universes contain thousands of galaxies in which you have again thousands of star systems. Our cluster of galaxies is called Laniakea.  Millions of years ago, this collision of Laniakea with your universe threw many galaxies from one universe to the other which means that they still are entangled on a quantum mechanical level with the other original universe. Bluntly said, they switched places. We can travel from one to the other through a wormhole.

  My home planet is called Earth. Earth is entangled with your world. In three weeks, a very big asteroid will appear over your planet and within a year will be sucked into its atmosphere. The impact will burn your whole planet. All life will perish. As my planet is closely entangled with yours, it will cease to exist at the same time. We are powerful. We have big space ships, but all our vessels are too heavy to land on an asteroid without breaking it into small pieces. The Asteriod we are talking about is as big as the whole fire nation, but its brittle and icy with huge parts of iron ore in its center. If it breaks, its parts will still destroy the planet. We need to slowly melt it away during several weeks until it is small enough to be smashed into tiny pieces. The only thing light and yet powerful enough to do something like that are firebenders, waterbenders and earthbenders.

  The audience was mindblown, only Ozai seemed unimpressed.

  M:        And this is why I need the best benders of your world to save both our worlds. If you decline to help, we‘ll all die. Even time itself will stop. I am asking a lot of you. And instead of rotting in a jail and looney bin these two firestarters could help to save two worlds and vindicate themselves.

Z:         How do I know you’re telling the truth?

M:        You will see the asteroid in about three weeks in the night sky above the water tribes northern pole. Please go there and see for yourself and in the meantime let me work with Ozai.

Katara: I know where we can go to see if anything of this is true.

Sokka: We’ll meet up with the northern water tribes. And if you’re lying we’ll know that you’re a fraud.

Zuko had a gloomy look on his face.

  They left the presentation room and proceeded to the pod bay as Zuko had wished to depart. The pod bay was a platform at the edge of the inner open core of the ship where pods were landing and taking off.

  M:        So shall we meet in three weeks then at the noth pole? I could get far with Ozai in these three weeks.

Z:         I will not allow father to stay here. You command 10000 men and you have carnal relations with my father who is a state enemy. I will not risk him to take over your ship and use it to conquer back the Fire Nation. He will come with me.

M:        Please, Firelord Zuko, respect the legal ruling. If you want him back, bring a court order and I will comply.

Z:         I need no court ruling. I am the Firelord, I decide.

O:        Finally you’re owning up to your crown. I told you about this, remember? Your word is law. Finally one lesson you learnt from me. I am proud of you, son. Mya, I love you, but my place is with my people. I will think of you every waking moment, my love. And in my dreams too.

M:        You can’t just leave, Ozai. I love you, I need you here, by my side.

Z:         You should have a better choice in lovers. But don’t fret, I have a gift for you. You can keep my sister instead. I heard she also likes girls...

A:         Zuko! You can’t do this! Father!

O:        Azula, I am sorry, my hands are bound. I will think of you both, my dear girls. Azula, I am so sorry, but seize the chance. You’re young and fierce, you’ll thrive on these stars! Make your mark, make me proud like always!

Z:         ??? I never saw you being so... supportive, kind and ... emotional.

O:        People can change, son.
