#azula has mommy issues

[crybabycinna]

UNCLE IROH HAS SPOKEN! (This tweet is old stfu I forgot I had this!) HE SAID AZULA DESERVES REDEMPTION! HE HAS SPOKEN!

[coralpaperthoughts]

funniest thing abt the atla kids is that they're not all fatherless but they are all motherless

[lazyveran]

one day i will make everyone acknowledge that azula isnt just an out of control hysterically angry maniac. one day

[blorboazula]

y'know what? the first sign that Azula was a dragon was that she'd curl up on Ursa's bed and refuse to leave. like, just an immovable toddler when she wanted to sleep there. not a single winter night passed without a baby dragon in her bed, there was a whole conspiracy so Zuko nor Ozai would know of that. totally not inspired by how my dog will growl and throw a whole ass tantrum if I don't let her sleep in my bed when it's cold.

[loading-excuses]

my friend thinks that zuko has the mommy issues and azula has the daddy issues and i was absolutely shocked to hear such slanderous words (/j)

everyone knows the iconic post: daddy issues makes you a people pleaser and mommy issues make you a sociopath

anyways, i wanted to see if anyone else thought what my friend did so:

The sCrEaM I let out

Because they truly are alike even their downfalls were so parallel. I just knew watching Joo Seok-kyung that she'd be Ketuvian. Like I was so RIIIIIGHT and the Azula parallels are sending meeee my poor evil baby girls. Mommy issues. Daddy turned them into raging power-hungry monsters. Both have a brother who is far more redeemable.

These scenes parallel for me because this is what their relentlessness has led them to.

I feel like I was going crazy seeing the dark, overly ambitious, deeply insecure, megalomaniac trope for Ketuvians because they were supposed to be these spiritually inclined demotivated monks but now I'm standing on what I initially claimed forever now 😂

Also, Azula is literally the most skilled fighter, she could've easily ruled the world had she not been so power-hungry to the point of irrationality. Like I said before in my Ketu Themes post; these characters can be relentless about resources and materialism (due to lack, insecurity or emptiness), that they can easily be powerful and successful, but because of the nature of Ketu, that shit either drains them, possesses them or crumbles in the end.

Again, the downfall of Tony Montana and Daniel Plainview are a testament to this. Both portrayed by Ashwini natives. Both the films closing off with their deserved demise (There Will Be Blood being more hinted if anything), in a murderous psychotic breakdown.

Both characters had a rise to success from their 'businesses' which ate away at their soul, literally draining them and in turn they drain everyone else around them.

OMG!!! A FELLOW AZUTARA SHIPPER!!

Please please please!!! What are your headcanons for this ship??? Like, how do you think they would meet and feel about each other? What would they feel when they realize they have a crush on the other??? And how do they get together???

And how do they navigate their relationship once they get to confess, considering they are both stubborn and that they would butt heads xD

AAAAAAAA, I wanna know all about it!!!

ok ok azutara headcanons GO:

these are not canon compliant cause we know how they meet and feel about each other and all that in canon lol

- azula isn’t evil by any means! yeah she’s a little bit of an asshole (or maybe a lot), but she was also a kid raised in an abusive household. katara on the other hand is a proud, self-proclaimed lovable asshole.

- they’ve been in the same social circle since they’re both kids of world leaders, but they weren’t fond of each other as kids.

- they forget about each other and meet again years later! when they’re adults, because you will never catch me writing an au where they’re 14. in canon, whatever. but i’m more comfortable writing characters closer to my age! you will also never catch me writing smut btw, it also makes me uncomfy.

- also azula has been in therapy since she became a legal adult and she has a good relationship with zuko because of it.

- so let’s say they meet again when they’re in their undergrad. neither of them recognize each other, both of em think of the other as “the smartass girl from my gen psych class”

- katara’s in bio pre-med but is 100% that girl that has three minors and a certificate in something. probably things like sociology, anthropology, women’s studies, etc.

- azula’s a business major. not by choice. i could definitely see her in something like forensic science or chemistry instead.

- anyways, they have a shared gen ed class and both of em are really into it because they both have mommy issues! which is why when they’re forced to work together on a project they decide they hate each other again.

- they realize that they knew each other in childhood when zuko and sokka walk into the water siblings’ shared apartment while katara and azula are fighting over making a powerpoint.

- katara makes an offhand comment about ozai being an asshole and azula just. loses it. bursts out crying. and katara’s there panicking like “oh my god what do i DO”

- katara ends up comforting azula and opens up about her mom to try and make azula feel less alone in the family trauma department. azula thinks she’s a dumbass but in a tsundere way where she secretly respects katara but won’t admit it.

- after that the two of em start hanging out out of class more often and (shocking, i know) enjoying each other’s presence

- katara realizes she has a crush first. it happens when they go to present their project and katara freezes up out of nowhere (which is so out of character for her) and azula immediately picks up her sentence and helps katara get through her part of the presentation

- so disaster bi katara ends up pining for at least a year because azula’s a dumbass who is subzero in flirting skills and completely oblivious

- azula’s also completely unaware that she’s gay as hell

- so azula realizes that she likes women…no not women…katara…at some sort of banquet where azula’s receiving a scholarship or smth and katara starts cheering for her from the audience (azula was tense, katara lightened the mood)

- so azula’s on stage having her gay awakening like “oh my god i’m in love with this dumbass who’s making a scene at this formal event and oh my god…” and as soon as she gets off stage she grabs katara’s hand and pulls her outside

- katara’s panicking and thinking azula’s pissed and goes to apologize but azula just. kisses her.

- katara’s immediate reaction is “fckin took you long enough”

- azula immediately goes red and is like “kat i realized i was gay less than five minutes ago please let me live”

- and therefore is subject to teasing for the rest of her life. the end.

Listen, I haven't read any of the atla books or comics so I'm making no claim as to knowing what happens in those, but these tags from @bloody-wonder got me thinking about azula redemption and her mommy issues and more importantly her daddy issues. Because wouldn't it be much more interesting to see azula finally come to a reckoning with her dad being an abusive piece of shit? Wouldn't that help her make longer strides towards a true redemption? Are we seriously still going with the idea that Ursa is the only reason or even the majority reason that azula is The Way She Is?

Like. Of course Azula needed to deal with her mommy issues, of course they needed to address those in the comics, but I'm of the opinion that those are much easier addressed than the issues her father would have given her. And maybe the comics do address those issues, again, I make no claim to know what's happened in any of those lmao but Azula realizing her dad is an abusive piece of shit and unlearning all the harmful stuff he taught her has to be a more compelling storyline (and much better redemption storyline at that) than her dealing with tepid mommy issues over and over

An Avatar Azula AU has been on my mind. I mean, the potential for character exploration and development would be great

Azula being conflicted and angry because her entire life she's done everything right to be her fathers favourite and serve her nation, only to discover she was born public enemy number one this entire time and now Ozai will want to kill her if or when he finds out

Now she's automatically worse than Zuko. Like, way worse. Ozai is gonna do way worse than burn her entire face when he finds out

Ontop of that, you could bring the whole Azula thinking she's a monster into it. Like the way she treats people and makes them afraid of her, and she has to confront that in the AU, but she also happens to be pretty brutal in the Avatar state (and outside of it) during fights, so she then has to deal with being inherently scarey to the people she's grown to want the trust and friendship of

And then she's wondering if her mother was always right about her, and if she could see how much of a monster Azula truly was, and that's why she looked at her with so much fear and "contempt" and kept her distance

Azula's mommy issues loop into this pretty well actually

Atla’s implied Sexism.

We get to see some Male Villains before they became the way they are. Whereas we don’t for Female Villains. The only exception is Hama and even then, it’s because The Writers needed a way to explain why a non fire Nation citizen is in the Fire Nation.

There isn’t a single Female member of the white lotus.

Katara’s anger at Zuko was depicted as “Irrational” and/or “Projecting” even though She named very good reasons to be mad at Zuko.

Following on that, Whenever a Female is furious and/or Throws a Tantrum, it’s portrayed negatively but when a male does it, it’s hardly a big deal unless said Male is a villain. The only exception is Katara’s anger at Pakku and even then, That was only done because the writers wanted to make parallels and contrasts between Aang and Katara.

Azula and Zuko are literally a example of the whole “Mommy Issues makes you a psychopath while Daddy issues makes you a People pleaser” thing.

Ty Lee and Mai became friends with The Kyoshi Warriors offscreen.

ZUKO is stated to have good and bad in him because he’s descended from Sozin and Roku. Yet this doesn’t appear to apply to Azula.

Iroh has years long history of being a war general. Azula/Ty Lee/Mai have only participated in the war for a few months yet They are held more accountable despite being minors. (I know that Technically Iroh got captured by some Earth Benders however we’re not supposed to sympathize with them.)

Male Benders outnumber Female Benders by a large amount.

Sozin’s loss of Sanity and Humanity was slow while Azula’s was quick.

Zuko remembers Aang suggesting that they could be friends. But He doesn’t remember Katara, Song or Jin.

Both Sozin and Roku fondly remember the time when they were friends even though they became enemies. However this isn’t the case with Azula, Mai and Ty Lee.

I'm quite sleepy right now, I've seen the beta!headcanons and I'll reblog with comments in the morning. However I wanna give you a thought before I go to sleep: where are the "Azula has a mommy kink" fics? Because I'm definitely giving her that when I eventually write smut.

- Ash 🔥🍌

I'm waiting excited!

Azula with her mommy issues...I don't know! I don't have that many ideas about that, but I'll try to do it!

Ash, what did Azula and her mommy issues have to do with obscenities? 😨

A Flame's Quiet Fury

Read now on Ao3 at https://ift.tt/SqxWKiX by Aqua_leoaboo A lot has changed over the last 3 years after the peace treaty that ended the war between the 3 nations was signed. After the sudden death of Ozai and the loss of Ba Sing Se, the Fire Nation army fell. Prince Zuko was declared Fire Lord at just 17. The young heir, alongside the Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom rulers, managed an agreement of peace but not without obstacles. After the war, the young princess Azula suffered the most from the loss, dancing between insanity and death. She spent 2 years in recovery and is struggling to adapt, desperately trying to put the past behind her. With the support of her brother and Uncle, she makes the best effort to recover while still going through highs and lows and proving to the world that she is a different person. Learning to grow as a new Vizer for her brother, she finally forms better relationships both new and old.
