Ok so I just realized that you wrote one of my favorite SasuSaku fanfics: Louder than Words. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've read that one😂. It's so damn good.

I love finding cross-fandom friends! It's the coolest thing. And I feel like shipping SasuSaku + being an Azula stan isn't common? I met my ATLA co-writer @mayimorr through SasuSaku fandom years ago, and she's the one who turned me into a huge Azula fan and Azukka (aka Sokkla) shipper.

Thank you so much for sending me this <3 I'm really happy to hear that my fic brought you joy!

 What the fuck. Just what the fuck. @julietwiskey1 and @akiizayoi4869, is THIS how you prove your moral superiority (not even to mention the idea that you care so much about children or abuse victims)? As far as I can tell, I have never even interacted with either of you. I have you both blocked on both my personal and my side blog, yet y’all are still stalking my blog, @akiizayoi4869 is screenshotting my posts to bitch about me, and y’all are making disgusting statements based on personal things I’ve talked about about my life on my blog. And for what?

Y’all keep acting like victims but you’re not. You are not being victimized by someone talking about fictional characters in a way you don’t like. Azula is not real, but if this is how you behave towards REAL people in defense of fictional characters, that says a LOT more about you and your personal life than it does about me.

I only found these posts because I happened to check out a reblog of one of my posts. What is your excuse?

Anyway, you missed the point, which is that the reason certain people on tumblr obsess over and are overly invested in the idea of “gifted kid burnout” as adults is because it gives you an excuse to blame other people for your own problems, which is why you fixate on a fictional abused kid and talk about how she’s the best and most perfect and fly into a rage when something threatens that. Which, ironically, is also exactly the way Ozai treated Azula.

@akiizayoi4869 and I were talking and I wanted to share this idea

Azula is born 13 years ahead of her (now little) brother but even so, Zuko, being the first son, is in line for the throne ahead of Azula. When the war ends and Ozai is thrown in prison, all eyes turn to the next in line for the throne, the one who is officially Fire Lord of the Fire Nation: one year old Zuko.

Azula is trying so hard not to have mental breakdown in the background.

"Azula overturned Zuko's banishment, not because he really cares about him, it's just in case Aang survived her lightningblast and she'd sadistically frame Zuko as a scapegoat and save her own ass from Ozai's wrath!"

So, a lightningblast is not an instant-kill move? If it still is, then this plan can only work if Azula had supernatural clairvoyance, precognition, ESP, and/or is a Jedi. Which I recall none of these things being revealed.

Zuko completely spilled the beans about Azula making the blast and that Aang survived. Two episodes later, at the boiling rock, oh look! Azula is perfectly fine!

Ah yes. The blackmail. People just loooove to frame Azula's whole "giving Zuko the credit for killing the Avatar" maneuver as some master plan that Tzeentch would be proud of in order to bring her brother to ruin. Thing is, she had no way of knowing that Aang would have any chance of survival.

Something that she herself brought up before:

See? She genuinely believed the Avatar was dead and that Zuko had nothing to worry about. The whole myth about bringing Zuko back just to use him for blackmail doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Even with the common misconception that Azula is power-hungry, why bring back and restore somebody's status when she could've just used the Dai Li back in the Earth Kingdom?

Bringing Zuko back honestly did more damage to her chances for the throne in the long run if that's what she was after...and to her as well.

Did Azula blackmail Zuko? Yes. But you also have to remember that she figured out that Zuko was withholding information from her. Here's a post by my dear friend @akiizayoi4869 which goes into detail, but the short gist of it was that both siblings are equally guilty of hurting each other with this mess. And trying to pin the blame squarely on Azula is an attempt to make Zuko look better than he actually was.

But to the second point. It is true that we didn't see what Ozai did when Zuko threw her under the bus (a rather dick move of him I might add since he didn't really gain anything from it). Thing is, I don't think Ozai would've hurt Azula if he still had some use for her. He'd probably scare the hell out of her and give her an ultimatum of killing Zuko or killing the Avatar to get back into his good graces. Since she failed in both, that could factor in his decision to abandon her during Sozin's Comet since she wasn't needed anymore.

Honestly, that potential scene is a huge missed opportunity. One, it actually gives Ozai more development and elaborates on the relationship between him and Azula. Two, it helps paint Azula in a more sympathetic light and clears up some of the ambiguity around her actions. And three, establish that between the two, Ozai is the more heinous one if he threatens to do the same thing to Azula that he did to Zuko. It certainly would give this line a bit more weight:

Thing is...Book 3 had a LOT of writing problems and shortchanging characters when it came to development. We didn't really get any time with anyone from the Royal Family not named Zuko outside of "The Beach" to humanize them too much. Some of the story decisions such as Azula's breakdown do feel a bit rushed. And we also missed out on storylines which could've developed her a bit more, like the arranged marriage subplot. So while her getting a scene like I mentioned would make a lot of sense in terms of character development, I'm not really surprised given what we've seen from Book 3.

There is an Azula stan / group of Azula stans going around accusing zutara artists / writers of AI (and ALL of them have been zutara creators) so in light of that, here's a list of definitely AI blogs who have invaded my inbox with scraped posts containing anti-zuko/zutara, pro-azula arguments. They've also been sending things to @the-badger-mole that I'm aware of.

Although this could be unrelated, I just think it's interesting that although the person who started the recent drama claims to be about artist integrity, they are specifically going after zutara shippers and they and all the people supporting them are Azula blogs who seem to have beef with a specific zutara shipper after an argument broke out between the two sides over shipping, and the things they say are very similar to the arguments I've been getting bombarded with for the past three or so months.

Here are the blogs from my block list, I forgot there were so many of them!

The fact that these blogs are largely empty and have word salad usernames is a dead give away that there is no real person behind them, plus the fact that there are so many. I've gotten multiple messages a day in my inbox, sometimes from multiple blogs and sometimes the same message. They are always posts taken from Azula stan blogs, mostly @zuko-always-lies or @akiizayoi4869.

Idk, but I think that if you want to make bizarre and invasive demands that artists provide you "proof" that they actually created their work, while also claiming that this isn't about shipping, you should look at the bot in the mirror.

cat ozai au?

Hello, anon!!! Shout out to @akiizayoi4869 for helping me!!

1. In a world with no war, the royal family still has some issues. Mainly that they suck at properly communicating with one another which has caused more than a few arguments. Ursa has tried to help the family communicate better but they’re really struggling. One night, a family dinner turns into one of the most heated arguments of all time. Zuko yells that Ozai doesn’t care about him at all and Azula claims that he only cares about her bending but doesn’t want to know her as a person (of course she still has some problems with Ursa but at the moment everything is directed towards Ozai). Ursa tries to talk to Ozai after the dinner but he says he needs some space and leaves. While out in the garden, Ozai wishes that he could know more about his children and be more involved in their lives. A nearby spirit hears him and says that he can make that happen. Ozai agrees to the spirit’s help and he’s turned into a cat.

2. Ozai, of course, tries to fight the spirit but just ends up hurting himself. He’s discovered by Ursa, who mistakes him for a stray, and takes him inside to help heal his injured leg. (Ursa: Poor thing. Did you get into a fight with a fox-owl or tiger-monkey? Ozai: Actually a spirit. Ursa: Talkative little thing, aren’t you? Don’t worry. Our healers will fix your leg and you can be on your merry way. Ozai: Yeah, not happening. I’ll be staying in the nice way palace. Thank you very much.) While she’s walking through the halls, Zuko spots her and the cat in her arms. He instantly asks if they can keep him but Ursa is reluctant because Ozai isn’t fond of pets. Azula hears what’s going on and asks as well. Ursa agrees that they can keep the cat for now but Ozai has final say. (Azula: Dad’ll never let us keep a cat. Ozai: Because they’re annoying, show no affection, and they’re pests more than pets. If you kids want a pet then we’ll invest in an actual pet befitting the Royal Family. Zuko: Awww. He’s so chatty. Ursa: He really is. I think his paw is hurting him. I’m going to take him to the healer. Azula: Could we name him? Ozai: No! No, Ursa, stop this! Ursa: Not right now, baby. I don’t want you kids getting attached. Besides, he’s so good with people. He probably has owners of his own that he’ll have to go back to.). The healer washes him and bandages up his paw before returning him to Ursa’s room. Ursa, worried about Ozai and wondering why he hasn’t returned, almost doesn’t notice the black cat on her bed until she gets ready to go to bed. Too tired to remove him, Ursa allows him to remain in her room. Ozai tries to think up how to get rid of this curse and why the spirit would curse him like this until he sees Ursa shaking and realizes she’s crying. He makes his way over and falls asleep nuzzled next to her and purring to provide some comfort.

3. Ozai is declared missing by tomorrow afternoon. The palace sends out a search part for him but no one can find anything. (A letter is also sent to Iroh to tell him that his brother has gone missing). While everyone searches for Ozai, Ursa agrees to let the kids keep the cat so they can have something good to focus on. Ozai is still dead set on them figuring out who he is but no matter what he does, it doesn’t work. He tries writing his name (it gets stepped on), telling people (all they can hear is meowing), and even bringing things to them that he had bought (this backfires horribly when he brings Azula a teddy bear he got her as a child and the family decides to name him Teddy.). Iroh returns to the palace a few days later, introduced to Teddy:the family’s temporary pet, but, much to Ozai’s shock, Iroh actually can understand him. (Ozai: You can understand me? Iroh: Years of spiritual training was not just for show, brother. Ozai: Tell them it’s me! Help me change back! Iroh: I don’t think I should do that. The spirits clearly did this for a reason. You need to live through this. Ozai: Iroh, I am not a cat! Get me out of this body! Iroh: When was the last time you spent one on one time with Zuko? Ozai: I…umm… Iroh: What’s Azula’s favorite dessert flavor?Ozai: I know her favorite dessert? Iroh: You see my point? Ozai: I’ll do better but not as a cat. Iroh: Sorry, brother. Noting I can do. Zuko: Uncle! Are you talking to Teddy? Iroh: You have a very talkative little fella. Ozai: Iroh. Iroh, picking him up: Here you go, nephew. Be gently with him. Zuko: I know. Come on, Teddy. Azula and I got you some treats. Ozai: Yay….cat treats.) Ozai is gonna kill his brother when all of this is over.

4. One day, while he’s relaxing in Zuko’s room (cat’s sleep a lot, he’s realizing), he notices Zuko come home in a huff from school and slam his stuff down then fall into his pillow. Ozai gets up to investigate what’s going on but is almost knocked off the bed by Zuko when he firebends in rage. Zuko ends up ranting about how there’s a big firebending performance happening at his school and he knows he’s going to fail it. Ozai tries to tell him that he wouldn’t fail if he put time into practicing only for Zuko to continue ranting and, eventually, he decides to head over to the training room, taking “Teddy” with him. When they get there, Ozai realizes that Zuko is doing the moves correctly—which isn’t what he thought—but is struggling nonetheless. He was always so focused on Azula that he didn’t notice that his son was doing the right moves, he just needed more instruction and help. (Zuko, feeling Teddy press his head against his leg: Teddy, I can’t play right now. Ozai: Keep your legs anchored to the floor. You need your legs rooted to the ground to help control your fire. *Pressing his paws against Zuko’s feet*. Zuko: Are you giving me firebending lessons, little guy? Ozai: I know you can’t understand me but please understand me. You’re putting too much power into your bending. You are a firebender. The fire will come. Zuko: Thanks for the pep talk, buddy. Now, why don’t we move you away from the fire. Ozai, ears falling: Right. Can’t understand me.) Later that day, he comes across Azula and finds her in her room freaking out over something. Jumping on her desk to hear more, he finds out that she has a crush on two different people: a boy named Chan and her friend Ty Lee. Ozai is beyond taken aback by this. He didn’t not know Azula was already getting crushes. (Ozai: You can’t date yet. You’re still just a kid. Azula: I don’t know what to do Teddy. Ozai: Don’t date. I never trusted Ty Lee and this Chan guy sounds like a jerk. Just stay single. Problem solved! Azula: You think I should handle it like a battle strategy? Great idea! *Runs off* Ozai: What? No. Sweetie, you can’t-….I never taught her what to do when she has a crush, did I? Iroh: No, you didn’t. Ozai: Were you just standing there? Iroh: I heard you talking. Ozai:….Am I just as bad a father? Iroh: No! No, you’re not. Because father never even thought he was wrong. You realize that you are. Ozai: I want to help them.)

5. A couple more weeks go by and the family starts to realize more and more that Teddy might not be an ordinary cat because he’s helping them with almost all of their problems. He helps Zuko with his firebending, getting him the highest report he’s ever gotten by his tutors, helped Azula with her dating crisis—even though he really thought she shouldn’t be dating—and provided Ursa with comfort and help since she was feeling overwhelmed with everything now that Ozai was gone. By now, Ozai has also been declared dead and the family is mourning his death. It’s hard for him to see everyone mourning him when he’s right there but the most he can do for his children and wife is to give them some form of comfort. One night, he’s asleep next to Ursa, when he hears someone outside. His ears perk up and he quickly realizes that it’s the same spirit as before. Ozai slips out of her hold and back to the garden. (Spirit: Enjoying yourself? Ozai, sarcastically: Greatly. Why are you here? Spirit: I think it’s time for Teddy to go and Ozai to return. Ozai: You’re turning me back!!! Spirit: If you wish. Ozai: Actually…I have a request.) Ursa wakes up the next morning to see her husband smiling at her. Of course, she and the kids are beyond thankful that Ozai is alive and well and back at the palace. But they’d by lying if they said they weren’t also thankful for the fact that he found Teddy wandering in the garden by himself. (Iroh: Asked the spirit to make Teddy a real cat? Ozai: They deserve a pet. Iroh: You know I’m going to tell them you were the cat, right? Ozai: Iroh- Iroh: Hey, Ursa, remember a few weeks ago when Teddy got into your secret stash of chocolate?)

[mfelewzi]

An interesting idea for some good fellas in this social and in AtlA's fandom, and @missaccuracy @erinoma9 @akiizayoi4869 @mysticaltora8276 @zuko-always-lies and @balanceoflightanddark A thing about our beloved character, her relationship with her mama Bear and the comics.

You know, a thing that I will never forgive about the comics, and a lot of fans of them, It's that they could have a tragical and interesting justification to Say "Yes, Ursa made favouritism, but we should see her point of view". And I thought about this short novel that was written by a Classical Italian Author, One of my favourite: Luigi Pirandello. The story is "The Other Son", about a poor woman who tried to write a letter for her sons, when technically she has a son Near to her.

It's a sad story, that I had read when I was a teenager, and After an other reading, I thought "Man, this could be an interesting inspiration for Ursa and Azula's relationship!" But sadly, Di Martino thinks about himself as a Great Author, but he clearly doesn't know One of the First winner of a Nobel Prize and a Great Classical Author of the XXth Century.

Here's a link of an english translation:

Clearly wouldn't change some guilties and failures especially about Ursa, but It could be interesting and sad, and maybe It could be a lesson for Azula and Zuko (especially him), discovering how his sister was a victim of circumstances and he was just a bit more Lucky cause he didn't have a Great similarity with his father when he was a kid. And maybe, he could suffer the same fate of Azula when he and Ursa meet together again.

BUT, It would be very complicated, and a Person with the Deep of a fork and the hybris bigger than Agamemnon's One, his friend without spine and a boring chinese-american author that he only wanted writing stories about Mickey Mouse and Superman, sadly this didn't happen.
