Riding high on that Nettles love.

And some tossers really thought she was going to be cut.

[phoenix-king-ozai]

Fire Nation Culture of Cruelty, Ruthlessness, Ambition, Abuse and Facistic Propaganda and it's effects on Azulon, Ozai and Azula.

Is redemption possible for this Father-daughter duo? 🤔

Ozai is a product of the Imperial Absolute Monorachy Facistic State and Society of the Fire Nation. Ozai was raised from childhood to be warrior, a conqueror, a killer, a Imperialist, a brutal warlord and dictator like his grandfather and father before him.

The "outliers" Iroh, Lu Ten and Zuko were raised the same way as Ozai and have many of his warmongering ways but have more empathy and kindness. The difference between Ozai and his other peers is probably abuse. Ozai probably had more negative relationship with his father Azulon who he wanted to impress as a children want to for their parents.

His Grandfather Sozin and father Azulon are genocidal warmongers that have killed thousands to possibly millions of innocent people for their regime gaining resources and infamy. Agni Kai's, Genocide, War Crimes, Murder, Assassinations, Child "Discipline" aka Child Abuse in normalize in this society for OVER ONE-HUNDRED YEARS.

The some fire nation nobels and royal turn out to be "good" "average"people unlike Ozai and Azula (Mai, Ty Lee, Iroh, Ursa, Zuko) . But, that doesn't mean Ozai and Azula were born evil. They just do in their nation propaganda and brainwashing by their society, social and political structure more serious and on face value. Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan had good people in their society and thought THEIR society was the most MORAL and RIGHTEOUS despite committing grave acts of genocide.

Azulon, Ozai and Azula are VICTIMS of Sozin policies of Racism, discrimination, imperialism, and nationalism being brainwashed in a endless cycle of lies and hatred by their forefathers. Azulon, Ozai, and Azula are villains for their behavior and cruelty, but this behavior was passed down to them since childhood and the conditioning is hard to break.

Iroh and Zuko had to go through tremendous mental trauma and suffering due to Lu Ten death or Agni Kai's scaring and banishment. It took pain to them personally and years/months of guidance in order to realize the truth and come to terms with the reality and history of the Fire Nation brutality and cruelty domestic and international.

Ozai and Azula hadn't interact or related to any WT or EK people, from Azulon, Ozai and Azula point of view they are the enemies of their people and are savages and threats that need to be dealt with. Azulon, Ozai and Azula grew up in a world of privelage and war with FN propaganda. They can careless about their own children wellbeing let alone their peasants or their enemies. It why the FN is willing to use EK war prisoners as meat shield and FN troops as "a pack of fresh meat".

The FN state and high society cares only power, "glory", war, domination, "respect", and pride. Which is why Sozin, Azulon, Ozai, Zhao, and Azula are the way they are and others like Iroh, Ursa, Zuko and Ty Lee are Outliers. Again Iroh and Zuko are unique and Ty Lee and Mai are just lower class rebellious teenagers girls with limited authority and exception compared to their royal counterparts.

Even regular children in the FN are sent to coal miners for disobeying and disobedience, now imagine the ruthless punishment for noble and royal children who MUST conform and obey and be obedient slaves to Sozin's ideals and ideology. Ozai's abuse of Zuko and Azula probably doesn't seem likely abuse to him. The FN probably don't believe child abuse mental, psychological, or physical. But, I doubt physically harm his children beside Agni Kai. Ozai's is to turn Zuko and Azula into killing machines of war for the fascist imperialist nation state. Being a father to his children is secondary to him.

A Ozai and Azula Redemption need them to be able to break free from this cycle of hatred and brainwashing will take along of help and faith from other who escaped aka Iroh, Ursa, and Zuko. Even a spiritual and cultural journey will be necessary along with a lot of love and forgiveness and understanding by their family members. But Ozai and Azula must want to change and can't be forced to and come to terms with their past and nation's history and atone for their crimes and abuse. It is possible that Ozai and Azula can redeem themselves but they will need a lot of help and a lot of love and face their bias greed, and hatred which is difficult and complicated soul searching. Zuko redemption would be child play compare to Azula, and baby food compared to Ozai but theirs would very interesting and complex. A eye opening storyline for Ozai and Azula forsure.

I only which the fandom would accepting of a well written one. Most people say Ozai and Azula are born EVIL SCUM OF THE EARTH AND SHOULD DIE A PAINFUL DEATH and yadda yadda yawn... Ozai and Azula are pretty typical is Medieval Asia culture such as Tokugawa Shogunate Japan, Yuan Dynasty of China and other Chinese dynasties, Mongal Empire and etc. Avatar is a Medevial Asian setting that is view in the len of modern westerns. Historically, Ozai is that bad of rulers or father as a leader during that era. It is our modern lens that make us see Ozai as a villain that he is.

Thanks for the tag @middleofnowhere92!

My name is Nadine.

Three facts about me?

1) I knew ATLA from my childhood but only recently started to really delve into the show. My favourite character is arguably the fandom's unfavourite, but by now I'm used to that.

2) I've learnt Spanish for four years and was even good at it for some time but I'm horribly out of practice now, unfortunately.

3) ...I've had this blog since 2018 (I think?), forgot about it and then originally only revived it for not the noblest of purposes lmao

Tagging: @moonsugar-and-spice @clown-cult @theriseofthedragons if you want!

hi everyone ~

I’m super bad with names but I always want to try and call people by their first names if I can!! 

I thought I’d do a quick lil tag game to make sure I’m getting to know all the lovely people I interact with on here. so, if you’re comfortable, post your first name and three facts about yourself.

I’ll start - I’m Alex, and three fun facts about me are I love to collect pens/stationary, Dunkin’ iced coffee basically flows through my veins, and the musician I’ve recently become obsessed with is maggie miles.
