#i think it's interesting that iroh's story is more sympathetic to bujing - who is shown to be displeased with the agni kai - than to azula

azula when she's the favorite and is "safe":

azula when she realizes zuko is no longer there to be the unfavorite:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
was fucking around on google images and i ended up stumbling on a reddit post from three yrs ago with a picture of iroh grabbing azula during a fight scene...
Tumblr media
this is the only time i can think of when azula seems completely terrified.
Tumblr media
he grabs her and she's scared shitless
Tumblr media
but he just redirects her lightning and she's just bewildered.
i wonder what she was thinking there
#atla#and that first pic is assuming that everything iroh told jee & co was 100% accurate#which. honestly i doubt for several reasons#although the biggest questions are 1) how can he see her face if she's in front of him#2) what the fuck is zhao doing there right next to the royal family he is literally just some guy#and 3) if iroh was aware that bujing was behind him and not about to fight zuko then why didn't he do anything#i think it's interesting that iroh's story is more sympathetic to bujing - who is shown to be displeased with the agni kai - than to azula#granted iroh and bujing may have served together at some point#and it's possible that bujing was upset at ozai stealing his fight#although iirc bujing never asked for the agni kai to begin with so probably not#can you fucking imagine how that sequence of events must've felt to bujing#imagine. you are a highly respected member of your workforce. your boss calls a meeting of all the higher ups including you#for some reason his thirteen-year-old son is there and the kid calls you a bitch#before you can do anything your boss orders you to have a flamethrower fight#after the meeting he tells you not to worry about fighting a teenager bc he will graciously fight the teenager for you#in spite of your illustrious military career this is literally the only thing people remember you for#btw the kid gets kicked out of the house comes back three years later then commits treason and then takes over the country#he's your boss now#assuming you're still alive at all but we have no idea bc you're literally never mentioned again#...i think about bujing more than i'm probably supposed to#this man had a massive impact on the plot for a guy who could probably be replaced with a sexy warcrime-happy lamp#i should probably go to bed
