D (r.e. azula apart), F, S ?

D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with azula apart?

tbh i just put some songs together now bc before now ive been listening to all kinds of things that have nothing to do with what im writing abt. most of what ive put together doesn’t directly correspond to actual events, but rather just different relationships and characters that appear - lots of stuff abt love and relationships bc now i think about it the emotional stuff is all pretty mixed up and sad... i would say more abt why these songs in particular and who they correspond to but dont want to give away spoilers

doll parts - hole

total control - the motels

your mangled heart - the gossip (live version bc its dedicated to the gays and ive had a wicked crush on beth ditto for as long as i can remember)

[I’ll just be] unfulfilled - syzygy (interestingly this is actually from mai’s synth pop band’s ep in a modern au)

Distant Memory - Les Rallizes Dénudés (this is kind of a holdover from All That Remains Is Smoke)

woman - angel olsen

na dne - molchat doma

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

okay this was really hard. im probs most proud of the chapter in All That Remains Is Smoke where theres the tyzula kiss n then azula realises she lost control all the fire bc that was the original scene i wanted to write when i came up with the whole fic and i think it really worked and came out far more.. idk devastating than i originally wanted. 

in terms of actual dialogue, from Such A Bitch

As Azula moved forward, Ty Lee stopped her with a hand to her stomach.

“Just… play nice tonight. Please.”

Azula flicked her hair over her shoulder with a smirk.

“Oh Ty Lee, I always play nice.”

And Ty Lee did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

At one point during the night Ty Lee noticed Azula enter the kitchen after Katara from across the room.  Oh no. She edged closer so she could overhear the conversation. Azula was asking Katara about some area of greenspace that Katara’s organisation had been petitioning for consideration for protection from pollution, logging, and industrial dumping. It was a heated issue that had been a cause Katara had been championing for months now. Notably, Azula’s party had been stonewalling any environmental protection bills. Just about every person at the gathering had been an audience to Katara’s frustration, and now knew to avoid the topic. And Azula brought it up with all the subtlety of a hand grenade.

“Well from my  understanding, it’s a zoning issue.”

Katara spluttered. “A zoning issue?! It’s an issue of those big companies your political party represents thinking they can dump their toxic sludge into any waterway they please!”

Azula made an exaggerated sigh. “ Think about it. Would the “toxic sludge” end up in your wetlands if the points of entry that industry uses to dump their waste were rezoned? Into something residential maybe? No-one wants industrial chemicals being dumped into their neighbourhood”

Katara, while still irritated, seemed to lower her guard slightly. “What are you talking about? Just say what you mean, Azula.”

“I’m saying that your petitions and placards approach isn’t working.”

“It’s not - It’s not a petitions and placards approach!”

“Just  listen . I might be able to pull some strings and put you in touch with someone who could be a useful ally if you play your cards right.”

Katara scoffed. “Who?”

“Mr Li. Property developer. Very close with some high ranking members of government. I’m sure you could work something out.”

Azula left the kitchen and almost bumped into Ty Lee. Seeing her questioning look, she said “What? I was playing nice, wasn’t I?”

bc i love the idea of azula antagonising everyone but with somewhat good intentions. also, i love kazula dynamics and i think this was a good way to include that in this story.

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

kind of love enemies to lovers, slow burns, mutual pining or just pining in general. fake dating also lmfao but when its done well.
