Rewatching ATLA and I think that one scene when Azula shows up to blow them off the Air Temple they were staying at (forgot which one, sorry), is already a tell that she's losing her mind a bit.
Because, this is right after Mai and Ty Lee betray her. And in The Day of Black Sun episode, when asked if she wanted to follow the gaang, all she says is:
"There's no point. They'll be back soon." And she was right, they would be back soon.
So why did she suddenly decide to get an entire squad of airships, just to blow up her brother and the Avatar?
Even when Zuko asks her, she doesn't give him a proper answer, just saying she's "celebrating becoming an only child".
I think this was her way of trying to feel better about herself with a win. Any win would do.
Because this attack is so weird for Azula, out of character even. An entire fleet of warships? Not just a small group to be inconspicuous? Of course, Mai and Ty Lee are no longer an option, but... why not just take the Dai Li?
Why the need for this sudden show of force, when just her presence alone is more than enough to make anyone cower in fear? Why does she feel the need to remind them that she is That powerful?
Because she's already suffering the consequences of Mai and Ty Lee's betrayal. Because she's already starting to doubt just how much power she actually has over people. Because she's already losing sight of herself, little by little.
This is also why I love the way Azula and Zuko's fight ends:
They're both falling from the sky, seemingly to their deaths with no way out, but the gaang grabs Zuko at the last minute, making sure he's safe. His connection to people, his choices to help and redeem himself, were what saved him in the end.
Azula is all alone.
She saves herself, but barely so. Even Zuko has a split second of "she might actually die" and then goes "Of course she didn't". Like it's expected. Like it's a law of the universe that Azula would be all alone and able to save herself, and that's nothing grand or anything else. It's just how it is. Azula has always been by herself, always been alone, always keeping herself safe the only way she knew how: fear.
And then that fails her too. So what is she supposed to do now?
She's falling. No one is going to grab her, keep her safe. And the only way she knew how to do that by herself, for herself, is gone.
Fear wasn't enough.
But what else is there for her to grab on to?

Silly little Carmen Drawing
Carmen has pretty long hair so she usually puts it in a ponytail or a bun for work!
(Fun fact!: Carmen is half Greek! Her father is Greek while her mother grew up in Louisiana. So, Carmen might cuss with Greek words or talk sh!t about them, knowing others won't understand what she sayings)
Feel free to ask questions!

i like to think that, while Murky still lived on that train cart, she would go out walking for picking herbs and always ended up sitting near some herb brides just to watch them dance

Not only did Flemethe fall 120 feet and break one of her horns off, She ALSO survived to kill a sphinx and get a cool new sword to feed to her current one.

as a child there's nothing cooler than a kid who gets subjected to evil experiments and gains special abilities. it's even cooler if these abilities also cause unfathomable suffering to use/against others. children love stories like this.
#I'm talking about max ride flatmate is watching spy x family#reminiscing on my multiple stories and ocs about this like truly#I think this might not be as universal as i think but if you liked max ride it probably was. my main oc as a tiny child was#a girl who grew up to be an unethical scientist who loved experimenting on humans and children. she could turn into a flying purple wolf bt#maximum ride

Azula is such a Girlboss, I can't
Ozai sends her away from the capital to go and find her brother and uncle, that's the only reason she's not in the palace all this time.
On the way to do that, she decides to gather up the girlies and go hunt down the Avatar, as a fun little side quest.
And then the Avatar is in Ba Sing Se - the one city the Fire Nation hasn't conquered yet - so, oh well, might as well just conquer the Earth Kingdom too, while we're at it. We don't want to let the trip go to waste, after all.
Oh! Zuzu is also in the city! How perfect, shall bring him home too, and the traitor uncle.
Not only did she fulfill the first mission Ozai had sent her to do (also, notice how she only goes back home after she manages to find a way to bring Zuko and Iroh back, not a second earlier. that was her one goal all along), she also "killed" the Avatar AND did the one thing no other Fire Nation royalty had managed to do in 100 year's war.
She's the definition of a Girlboss.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)
Percy, listening to this on the train
#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE#this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t#but they don’t know they weren’t#so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime?#you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you#you can hear the therapy bill racking up#annabeth chase#Percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo#pjo series#pjo tv show#mine#adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works#love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows#whereas how Annabeth says it#in my opinion at least#she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it#like with her mother#she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her#vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter#that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns#more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

Crocodile finds a strange stray cat an 11-year old Nico Robin (AU where they met 13 years earlier. Robin's been on the run from the World Government for 3 years. Crocodile's 27 and has not set up base in Alabasta yet)
It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
Bonus:
#My art#One Piece#Nico Robin#Sir Crocodile#Y'all the OP brainrot is BAD#According to an SBS Crocodile would absolutely spoil his child rotten if he had one. *We all know how Robin's childhood went*#Scary mofo who does not know how to parent a child but boy does he have the spirit + Child who has never had proper parent in her life#They'd make. An absolute disaster of a duo. This AU concept is so fucking funny to me okay#But also sad because I would fucking die for baby Robin she deserves the fucking world#This poor girl has never been spoiled in her entire life AND NOW PAPADILE IS HERE TO SPOIL HER#You know it's funny. I know 11 yo Robin should LOOK older than 8 year old Robin. But Crocodile is a fucking giant so she's still baby sized#Also I just had too much fun drawing Robin looking as pathetic as humanly possible lmao#She's a like a wet kitten in the rain 😭

They never talk about the youngest siblings who grew up faster than their older siblings, who had to help them and teach them stuff and joke about them being younger even when it wasn't true, and how they relate to the older siblings of the world but could never tell because they were born later but their soul, their soul was there much before. No one talks about them
#that's me btw#i taught her everything#she's two years older and i taught her everything#she's my child#siblings#older sibling#younger sibling#:p
