#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 | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

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

azula when she realizes zuko is no longer there to be the unfavorite:

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...

this is the only time i can think of when azula seems completely terrified.

he grabs her and she's scared shitless

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
