#comics!Zuko is a thronesexual

[justanotherthrowaway1950]

Yeah, for someone whose experience as refugee made him disdain the opulence associated with Royal Life after he got un-banished, it weird that he decided to bring a throne to flex on his throughly defeated and mentally unsound sister. Especially when he wants to rebuild their family on (supposedly) healthier grounds.

Though to be fair, considering he refers to Ursa as his mother only and only got spurred to visit Azula after being reminded that the horrible state of his nuclear family badly reflected on him and the message is is trying to send to his subjects, it appears that comics!Zuko has reverted back to being a thronesexual who wants to put Azula in her place since it will validate him. Especially when you take into account him constantly saying that the throne is his destiny when he was born fourth-in-line and his family essentially had to fall apart for him to get it.

There has been (for good reason) so much emphasis on demonstrating that Azula is more willing to show compassion to Zuko than vice-versa that unfortunately there’s been little character analysis of why this is the case.
