Do you think Ursa really loved Azula?
Yes, I think Ursa loved Azula.
But it's actually complicated, because of all the shit and Ozai, blah, blah, blah.
I firmly believe that parents are not prepared for a prodigy or different child, no matter how much they informed or prepared.
Azula is a different girl from the others, she is a genius prodigy (Maybe neurodivergent or just her upbringing makes her different??) and Ursa really isn't ready for something like that.
Maybe that's why he was negligent or just didn't care that much about raising her, maybe he thought Azula could handle it on her own because of how independent she is?
And maybe Azula thought Ursa didn't love her and never cared, because of all of her mother's actions towards her.
Azula simply noticed all those signs and took refuge in a monster, thinking maybe she could get some love and attention. And of course, she was horribly wrong in choosing Ozai, but can we judge her? No.

This is continuation of this thread with great ideas that inspired the art: Post
Zuko hasn't (yet??) blocked Azula, not even temporarily
Iroh's photo is blurry because OF COURSE
Zhao keeps editing his stuff
I debated placing "Ozai: Seen" but it turns out he probably wouldn't even be looking at this social media
Please help me name this lame Fire Nation social media for boomers
Zuko's "On a quest" status is pure copium
Next part

Some spirit manages to get the gaang and zuko a link that connects their minds. They can share thoughts and their past with each other.
Tweaking this to “and they share dreams” because that’s how I started writing it.
---
“Okay,” Sokka says, wrapping his sleeping bag around himself, and grabbing a comfort Momo, too. “Whose dream was that?”
No one ‘fesses up. But it was kind of a rude question, and also a little rhetorical, anyway.
They all have nightmares with fire.
Having the Fire Lord himself looming over them, while they were on their knees? Not exactly a stretch.
---
“Okay,” Sokka says, “how does Prince Jerkface keep finding us?”
---
“Okay,” Sokka says, “how did he know that seal jerky seasoned just right with honey—not too much, just enough to add a sparkle of sweetness to the depths of savoriness, a perfect balance for the distinguished tongue to relish—was the perfect bait for his Sokka and Sokka-affliated-parties trap?”
“Maybe if you stop dreaming about it, Sokka,” Katara snaps.
...And they all stop.
---
“I’m going to think really really hard about being friends,” Aang says.
“I’m going to think really really hard about that time my boomerang hit him,” says Sokka.
---
Snatching the boomerang out of midair? Impressive.
Ignoring the Avatar to go hit Sokka with it? Repeatedly? Uncalled for.
---
“Sokka. The city is under attack. Right now.”
“Okay,” Sokka says. “But this is a strategic nap, Katara. We need to know what evil things our Evil Other is up to.”
It’s not like the evil fleet part was a surprise, at least. They’ve been dreaming of it for weeks.
---
“Okay,” Sokka says, looking down. “So the ship-blowing-up-thing. Not a nightmare?”
“No,” says Zuko, glaring up with his glare-face all glare-ful but his thoughts mostly full of bruises so deep they’re making Sokka’s ribs ache, and also his legs are going numb.
“Going to get out of the turtle-seal tunnel now?” Sokka asks, still standing over the opening. With his boomerang.
“...No,” the Prince of the Fire Nation says, as he clings onto the edge of the hole, his legs still very much in freezing water.
---
“Okay,” Sokka says, when they have a Fire Prince all tied up in Blankets of Imprisonment. “So. What actually was your plan here? Do not,” he interrupts, before the teenage-shaped bloodhound-leech can do more than open his mouth, “say ‘capture the Avatar.’”
The prince closes his mouth. Glares. And kind of fuzzes at the edges, in the way all of them do when they’re about to fall asleep.
BOOMERANG, Sokka thinks, and Prince Largely Ineffective As An Enemy jerks back upright. His Momo hat chitters a complaint.
“Since we both know your answer is ‘I had no plan, Sokka, ‘plan’ starts with ‘p’ and there’s no ‘p’ in ‘Avatar’’, we’re going to play a game instead. It’s called ‘sleepy prince free association interrogation time.’”
“...What?”
“Battle plans,” Sokka says. “Attack. Fire Navy fleet. Ship numbers.”
Alas, “Fire Nation intelligence” is not something with which the prince’s brain is overly burdened.
“...Are you insulting me?”
“Are you proving my point?”
Elsewhere, Yue laughs in all their heads. Zuko flinches. The prince has a very marked reaction to the laughter of princesses.
---
“Okay,” says Sokka. “So that just happened.”
Commander Mutton Chops is groaning. Kind of flopping. Much like the bag he tried to fireball. Yue picks it up, and gently wrangles a fish back into water. Sokka is still not clear on what the fish-napping was about.
“It’s the Moon,” Aang says. “Or maybe the Ocean?”
Aang’s thoughts are full of a FACE STEALING EVIL CENTIPEDE MONSTER THAT IS JUST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE THIN VEIL OF REALITY and that is NOT helping Sokka think.
“Okay,” he says again. “So. At least we can all agree on one thing.”
This is a very diplomatic way of saying they all wanted to dropkick Zhao. But some of them wanted to do it more than others.
The prince of the Fire Nation is even paler than normal, and staring across the clearing at his uncle.
“I can explain,” the prince says, while he’s thinking, oh shit treason oh crap uncle wouldn’t hurt me thought that about father too
Sokka wordlessly plucks Momo from the edge of the pond, where he’s been swiping at the spirit-fish, and drops him on the prince’s head.
Everyone needs a comfort Momo, now and again.
---
“A raft, Zuko?” Sokka says. Outloud. Because it makes things louder when you say it and think it. “A raft?”
Aang is bouncing on his toes. “We should go get him.”
The Avatar is grinning. And thinking, really hard and deliberately, as behind them the Water Tribe ship finishes packing, We should capture the Fire Prince.
“Okay,” Sokka says, with a grin of his own.

I fear that "fire bending didn't come easy to zuko" and "zuko isn't a prodigy" (both true) has somehow snowballed into "zuko is a bad or at best average fire bender".... which simply isn't true, especially by the end of book 3

Roleswap Azula and Zuko, once again. An attempt at some splash-art style portraits.
Hi, everyone — just letting you all know that I've finally begun the process of writing this fic ♪ I am now in a more stable home situation and my mental health is improving, so I finally feel motivated to do this. However, I've never written a long fic like I intend for this to be before, and it seems a little daunting, so give me some time. Eventually, Chapter 1 will be posted along with a Prologue, and I'm going to link every fan art that's been done so far as well!
Any friends, fans, or oomfs that like my Roleswap AU, please feel free to reach out in DMs, mentions, or asks if you have ideas for the story! Be it a prompt, a paragraph, two words, or fan art: I love, love, love any and all contributions that you kind folk make, I'm only a kid and this is my first shot at such a large task, but of course don't feel forced. I don't want to ask for unpaid interns lol, just need inspo and some chill friends to chat with about AtLA ~ Writing tips appreciated too.

Heres Mai! I'm very proud of this, I was practicing detailing and structure of the clothes. Her, Ty Lee, and Azula are very square circle and triangle coded.
Also, I'm a Maiko shipper till I die, but her and Ty Lee are also a cute pair 🩷
Once again, inspired by @soncee. Their probably really annoyed about me talking about them, but really their art is very beautiful! Please please please check them out 🩷 also inspired by the character sheets from @chiptrillino-art, also amazing 🩷

Is it just me or do y'all also get weird vibes when people constantly compare Azula to full grown villains from other series?
Like yes, let's compare this 14 year old to a 30 year old man, these are totally equals and a good comparison!

Post healing au where Ursa and Azula get along now
Azula would randomly cling to Ursa for like five seconds every now and again to make up for lost time
(she then goes back to being nonchalant because her? showing affection? to her mother? impossible.)
Also does anyone know any good Ursa-Azula fic recs??

"Can the Fire Nation be redeemed?" "Dude, they were about to 'win' the war using Sozin's comet, I don't think they can be redeemed the next day!"
The situation is like that the story could easily continue with many (and I mean many. Half of the nation even) FN characters still being the villains.
Their new Fire Lord took the throne via a dubious Agni Kai duel against Azula who hadn't yet been officially crowned, and their previous Fire Lord Ozai was taken down by the Avatar, who (supposedly) most of the Fire Nation does not recognize as a legitimate authority figure due to a century of propaganda that elevated the Fire Lord and FN's own "greatness".
The Fire Nation was winning and suddenly overnight, they are informed that not only do they have a new Fire Lord, they're also immediately halting all war efforts, have surrendered, are retreating their army back to homeland and are about to start paying reparations. At least half of the country would be outraged. They were profiting from the war! And they're not about to give up because a branded traitor, scarred boy king ordered it.
The peasants are mostly glad the war stopped, the industry is confused and worried about profits, and the military is furious. Zuko and Iroh would probably have a very difficult time establishing control over it, as many splinter factions would pull it apart and plunge the Fire Nation into civil war in a desperate attempt to quickly resume the old course, especially when the information about Ozai being still alive and Azula still having her firebending spreads.
There could easily be another season where these problems are tackled, and villains still aggressively bend fire and spread destruction.

I rewatched Zuko and Azula's Agni Kai recently and it's left me wondering – when Zuko begins to goad Azula into striking him with lightning, was he making the decision to kill her?
Because had Azula shot lightning directly at him like he planned and not at Katara, the most forthright implication to me is that he was intending to strike Azula with her own lightning. And Azula, for all her mastery, would not have been able to counter that.
On the other hand, maybe he wasn't planning to kill her at all and was simply planning to redirect it elsewhere (similar to what he did with Ozai). But given the tone of tragedy throughout the Agni Kai, the fact that they both acknowledge that this fight will be "the end" to them, I don't think it's inaccurate to read Zuko's actions as him preparing to kill Azula, even though an Agni Kai doesn't have to end with death (and in canon it didn't). Also, why goad her into striking him with lightning if he wasn't planning on doing something intentional with it? If anything, it adds another layer to the tragedy to me, because I don't believe Zuko wants to kill her. And it stands in such contrast to the way that Azula desperately wants to kill him.
I also think that there would have even been something sadly poetic in that sort of demise for Azula should the Agni Kai had gone this direction: Azula, struck down by her preferred sub-skill. Azula, struck down by the very bolt of lightning that she intended to kill her brother with. Azula, struck down by her own power.
