OK SORRY FOR APPEARING HERE BUT your tags on my lu ten doodles made me squeal because i was lit gonna draw a third addition of lu ten thinking "i have GOT to kill myself" but with azulon talking to him. and when i was kinda mapping out an au of mine it got sidetracked and i was writing from ozais pov (weird i know) and i got to thinking ab how itd be if ozai busts his ass for even a scrap of favor from azulon just for lu ten to be simply born a son of iroh aka azulons favored and get all that HANDED TO HIM??? and then i was like "wouldnt it be funny if lu ten didnt even like azulon all that much and he just puts up with him because hes Literally the firelord and his grandfather". and how that fact would piss ozai off even more like he barely even pretends to like azulon and yet he gets everything ozai doesnt. the potential drives me crazy.
YES YES EXACTLY ozai would hate lu ten SO SO much and he literally can’t do shit about it bc lu ten technically outranks him and azulon likes lu ten better; like what’s ozai going to do?? tell his distant father that his grandson sucks?? azulon would literally Not be listening to that.
and honestly the relationship between iroh azulon and lu ten has such potential drama for me… like father-son relationships are almost always more formal than grandfather-grandchild relationships and the idea of azulon and lu ten being closer than either of them are with iroh is so crazy to me. iroh spends all that time away from the palace like fighting dragons and conquering the continent and shit, and at home azulon (and presumably iroh’s wife?) are raising lu ten, teaching him to fight and do politics. like lu ten might not have liked azulon that much but evil grandpa is p much one person in the family that lu ten can legitimately complain about his dad to with minimal consequences. i imagine that fire nation nobles would go to meetings with the firelord and be met with twin stares of malice from imperialist grandpa and imperialist grandson. awful awful people. lu ten semi-secretly hates azulon for being a shit person but azulon is completely blind to that bc to him lu ten is the Perfect Heir. and iroh is just not there for any of that
#if lu ten lived in a modern au he’d be an overachieving son who like… idk played instruments and did martial arts and kept a 4.0 gpa#he’d go to college and then burn out Majorly and get into 10000 fights with his family over it and they would be completely blindsided#the toxic family complexities…#anyway thank you for the ask lol lu ten is one of my favorite side characters of all time#atla#peachspeak
