#if this isn't how ozai tried to court ursa then i don't want whatever the alternative is#okay yeah i know that the comics did something#something ozai is as horrible a husband as he was a father#but also this is funnier#also we can have both ozai being the funniest disaster date in the fire nation and also the worst husband to ever husband#these things are not mutually exclusive#ozai#iroh - @maishairbuns

Haha so true 🤣🤣🤣

*Preparing for his date with Ursa*

Iroh: “Final question. Your dinner date starts at seven. What time do you arrive?”

Ozai: “Seven. A.M. Case the restaurant, run background checks on the staff. Can the cook be trusted? If not I gotta kill him. Dispose of the body, replace him with my own guy no later than 4:30.”

Iroh: “You’re ready.”

Ozai: “Really?”

Iroh: “No. Everything you just said was insane and we are out of time.”

Iroh is planning and plotting. HEHEHE

Slid in my oc Commander Cam Hoa, too, Iroh's right hand woman before the failure at Ba Sing Se. I think they were probably plotting to take the throne from Azulon themselves before everything that happened after Lu Ten's death.

In any case, he loves to annoy his baby brother for real for real. I think Ursa and Ozai have only been married for maybe a year here.

(this is for my Fire Lord Ursa au fic, currently in production hehehehe).

Some live action drawings + silly Ozai

Ursa: I know Azula thinks that getting betrothed is all unfair. I mean even I had reservations when I faced betrothal.

Ozai: Huh?

Dec 5: Unplanned

So basically uh they both received a letter from "eachother" for a date. But neither wrote that so there's a matchmaker who's obviously obvious who it is, I'm not even gonna name.

They somehow never mentioned it again so they both think it was the other side who planned it till this day

Bonus:

We don’t talk enough about how it took just a little over a year for Ozai to realize he wanted a replacement for Zuko.

Meanwhile, Hakoda and Kya needed only three months to decide they wanted a sequel to Sokka.

—————————————————————————

Ozai: I would like to make a return.

Ursa: Do you have a receipt?

Ozai: I do not. The Fire Sages lost the placenta after I specifically asked them not to.

Ursa: Gross.

Ursa: Also, you can’t return our son.

Ozai: Why not? He didn’t come as advertised. Zuko hasn’t shown any signs of firebending yet. Just crying and pooping and eating and sleeping.

Ursa: That’s not my problem. Or his. Besides, he’s a baby. That’s basically all they do.

Ozai: Alright. Can I swap him for a different baby, then?

Ursa: No.

Ozai: Can I swap him for a different baby without telling you?

Ursa: You can try. But no.

Ozai: Can I get a discount on the next baby?

Ursa:

Ursa: ...sure.

—————————————————————————

Kya: I love our baby so much. He’s just so happy and expressive and adorable and I cherish every moment I have with him. Thank you for helping me bring this wonderful little person into the world.

Hakoda:

[gorey-gorella]

Personally, I headcanon Ozai as a heteromantic asexual.

He can't get turned on at all.

Ursa finds it strange Ozai never moans or feels pleasure in bed.

He did build up some romantic attraction for Ursa since he's not aromantic, but his obsession with power became stronger and overrided any feelings of fondness and love.

He did use to have a romantic bond with her, and he secretly did like her affection, but he doesn't show it often.

He is terrible with his feelings, and he's terrible at smiling in a genuine, non-vemonous way.

He only had sex with Ursa to make children.

He finds sex weird and the only purpose of it to make a future generation, and he doesn't understand why many others like it.

Tell me your thoughts on this headcanon and if you agree or disagree.

[stardust948]

Ozai: Why are we here? Just to suffer?

Ursa: 🥂

[thebxghag]

Ursa and Ozai meet in a quiet corner to discuss some information they've just learned about his absent brother and what their own next steps should be in a bid for the throne.

Enjoy both the illustration and the process video :DD

I don’t know how to explain it but I’m right.

[phoenix-king-ozai]

You gotta wonder what comic Ozai was thinking when his dad just goes up to him and basically says he has to marry some girl he's never met for the sake of the bloodline and have children with her even though he won't get the throne anyway.

I think it depends on certain factors. According to the ATLA comics, Ozai is at least a decade Ursa's senior. It is possible that Ozai already had a lover who was closer to his age and possibly had to abandon that relationship due to the Fire Sage's prophecy and Fire Lord Azulon's demand. Regardless of Ozai’s own wishes and desires regarding his own marriage and love life.

However, the comics try to make Ozai an irredeemable monster and caricature of a villain. So this interpretation is too sympathetic. Even though the original ATLA creators and OG ATLA Wiki on Nickelodeon stated that Ursa was raised as royalty and was the perfect betrothed and possible wife for Fire Prince Ozai.

However, Zuko’s flashbacks showed that Ozai did make an effort to try to be a good father and husband to Ursa and their children. The good memories of the Fire Nation Royal Family on Ember Island hurt Zuko and Azula during the Beach episode. This is why Zuko desired Ozai's love, respect, and admiration from him. If Ozai was only a cruel bastard to his family and son why would Zuko want to go back to his father and homeland to be abused again?

The Search Comics by Yang just took the most stereotypical, uninteresting, and non-complex lazy route regarding the Urzai relationship. Ursa is a good woman! Ozai is a bad man! She must have been kidnapped and physically, mentally, emotionally, and sexually abused! This is why Yang goes out of his way to demonize Ozai and bastardize his characteristics for his own personal fanfic OOC named Ikem. Yang has a horrible habit of adding new uninteresting characters into other established characters' lives. Yang destroyed Urzai with Ikem and also Maiko with Kei Lo.

Even though I don't think Ozai was Prince Charming regarding Ursa initially due to her being the granddaughter of Avatar Roku and possibly being a non-bender. Ursa possibly could have been seen as a blood traitor by the royal court and Fire Nation nobility and royalty due to Avatar Roku attacking and stopping Fire Lord Sozin during his early stages of imperial conquest until he died on Ember Island giving Sozin the chance to end the Avatar Cycle by killing the Air Nomads. However, I do believe that Ozai eventually warmed up to Ursa and bonded with her by the time they had Zuko and Azula. We even see Ozai be quiet and somber regarding her favorite spot by the Turtleduck pond after her banishment and disappearance.
