i find it really funny how a large (enough) majority of zuko stans seem to hate/be anti aang as if zuko HIMSELF doesn’t become the no.1 aang fan at some point

So Netflix really just said:

Ozai parenting style and Sozin's legacy!

Ozai's parenting style is very authoritative, demanding, controlling, and ruthless like the Fire Nation Empire itself. Ozai most definitely inherited this style of dominating and vicious dictatorial parenting method from Azulon who inherited it from Sozin. Ozai treats his children more like soldiers and pawns for the Fire Nation's grand schemes and designs. Their happiness, wishes, and desires mean nothing to him to the cost of his family's Imperial Legacy. Ozai and Ursa used to have a happy family with Zuko and Azula, but Ozai "changed" when the children became older. I believe Ozai decided to allow Zuko and Azula to have a happy and "normal" childhood that he didn't experience as a child. However, once he saw a change in becoming Fire Lord and fulfilling Sozin's dream and legacy. Ozai gave up on the lenient and caring fatherly act because it was unnatural to him given his own personal childhood and relationship with Fire Lord Azulon.

My headcanon is that Fire Lady Ilah died in childbirth to Ozai; which is why she wasn't able to give him the love, care, and happiness that children need especially early on. However, Ilah was able to provide those values and morals to Iroh who was probably 15 years old when she died. Ilah loved and cared for Iroh and gave him happiness during his childhood instead of the strict, heartless, soulless, and authoritarian emotionally abusive parenting that Azulon gave Ozai after Ilah died. Iroh continued Ilah's legacy with Lu Ten and then later with Zuko during his exile. I don't think Ozai was purposely being malicious and cruel to Zuko and Azula to torture them. However, raised Zuko and Azula via the Imperialistic and Authoritarian parenting style that he knows and values because of his father Azulon, and grandfather Sozin's legacy and parenting strategy.

Ozai's harshness and ruthless regarding Zuko has nothing to do with Ursa or Ikem forbidden love! Ozai wants Zuko and Azula to both prove themselves. Ozai doesn't favor Zuko or Azula. It is about which child will succeed Sozin, Azulon, and his legacy as future Fire Lord. In fact, Ozai doesn't want Zuko or Azula to think that they are the “favorite” child. He wants Azula and Zuko to improve through competition. Because of the “only the greatest of pressures can forge diamonds” & “steel sharpen steel” mentality. Ozai has the mentality of an imperialist warlord. Ozai isn't trying to be the world's most loving and caring father but rather continue and build upon a powerful and dominant legacy that his forefathers had created before him. He wants Zuko & Azula to be cold, ruthless, heartless, vicious, and brutal imperialistic warmongers like him (Ozai), his father (Azulon), and his grandfather (Sozin).

Ozai didn't invent bad parenting, child abuse, and unrealistic standards in the Fire Nation!

Started watching the Netflix ATLA series. So far I'm liking it - seeing Fire Lord Sozin reveal his plans to that poor Earth Bender, and watching Aang interact with the Air Benders and especially his mentor - good stuff!

Would our world be a better place if some of us were benders?Can Katara repair the world through care?Is Toph a disability pride icon?What does it mean for Zuko to be bad at being good?Can we tell whether uncle Iroh is a fool or a sage? The world is out of sorts. The four nations, Water, Earth, Fire, and Air, are imbalanced because of the unrelenting conquest of the Fire Nation. The only one who…

Avatar The Last Air Bender Live-Action Series Is A Disappointment Made With Love

I have watched the original Avatar the Last Air Bender series multiple times.

🚬🦇 Vampire!Price 🚬🦇

Vampire!Price AU where he's 737 years old and has been through countless wars. One of the most powerful beings in existence who has the gift, or rather, a curse of eternal life. Now he's with the SAS, forming the Task Force 141, a team of soldiers with special abilities. In the modern day though, Price has sworn to only consume animal blood, because if he consumes human blood (even the enemies') his thirst will grow insatiable and he'll harm other people he grew to cherish, which explains his pale skin colour. He hasn't drunk any human blood since WWII. When he's at the height of his powers, he can control the blood flow of other beings with blood, and with that, their movements and even every pump of their heart. That is, until he met Gaz, who hadn't a single drop of blood inside his body. Spoiler : it's Mummy!Gaz 👀

What a fun experience ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Revisiting the Vampire!Price had been really enjoyable, plus the fact that I get to study more shading and colouring techniques (because I suck at colouring)!

That cup is definitely just a red tea.

Hope you love this art! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
