YO WHAT THE FUCK I just realized the age gap between Zuko and Azula is almost the same as me and my step brother?? AND ZUKO CHALLENGES HER TO AN AGNI KAI??? like obviously I conceptualized that their relationship was fucked up and that it was wrong for Zuko to challenge his 14 year old sister,, but holy shit man,, Azula was his BABY sister.
Like I STILL struggle to remember that my FIFTEEN YEAR OLD brother isn’t the seven year old with chubby cheeks who followed me around constantly and held my hand to cross the street and sat next to me every day on the bus to school, I STILL see him that way sometimes. Like maybe I’m the weird one bc I am definitely a bit over protective with him but man, it just kinda hit me that when I was 18 he was Azulas age. Sorry but that just fucked with my head so much and really put into context how wrong Zuko was for fighting her in the finale when she was CLEARLY broken and “slipping” ,,, god she was a baby, fuck at that age I was helping him with his history homework at the kitchen table and making lunch for us because he only knew how to make grilled cheese and scrambled eggs and French toast sticks
Azula probably wanted an older sibling to do homework with and to make HER lunch, man fuck Zuko, why am I actually emotional about this wtf
#MAN my brother STILL isn’t old enough to have his lisence#I know that isn’t a problem for azula but FUCK#What if she wanted to go to the movies or she wanted to get orange juice from the store or what if she wanted to see her friends#she would have to ask her older sibling to drive her bc she’s just a kid she can’t drive she has no agency at all#no zuko is a great character and I love him but wow this realization hit me like a bag of rocks#like I don’t care how evil azula is she was a KID#like duh I knew that#but WOW this contextualized a lot for me#like in all fairness zuko was 16 and azula was 14 and I was 17/18 when my brother was 14 but still#this just struck a nerve idk why#man#azula deserved better#I know caring for azula wasn’t zukos JOB but fuck dude#I think you are the evil one here bc when I was your age I was saving up my money from my minimum wage high school job#to buy the 50 dollar truck video game for my brother bc I knew money was tight and I wanted his 14th birthday to be special#azula wasn’t an evil mastermind she was 14 she would probably lose her shit if you have her your old Pokémon cards
