and what if apollo as a god made jason a tree himself after his death? and what if that tree had similar properties to thalia's tree and formed a magical barrier? and what if apollo put that tree in a place of worship? and what if that place of worship then became a sanctuary, a safe haven for demigods and gods alike? and what if jason became a figure in modern demigod myth, a protective spirit? and what if his mythologisation led to him being deified? and what if he was the god of worship, ritual, and safety? and what if he was the protector of demigods and heroes? what then?

No, no, NO! You don’t understand! If they were going to make a movie called “Goncharov” it would have to be a modern REBOOT of the 1973 film. Then everyone would have the right to consume the media while simultaneously complaining about how “it isn’t as good as the original” or “I can’t BELIEVE that they left out the iconic part XYZ”. We get to watch the film and preserve the original. Everyone wins.

Honestly, I'm kinda glad the fire nation didn't take airbenders as prisoners because:
When they needed to imprison earthbenders, they made it so that they don't have earth to bend
Tumblr media
When they had to imprison waterbenders, they made it so that there would be as little water around as possible
Tumblr media
For firebenders, they made the conditions impossible to create fire
Tumblr media
Following that logic, airbenders would have to be buried alive or drowning, but they would somehow receive a breath of air every 30 seconds or so

WAS OZAI AN ABUSIVE FATHER TO AZULA?
Tumblr media
I know most people will immediately go "Yes, he fcking was!" without the slightest hesitation. And I agree. Ozai was certainly an abusive father, not surprising considering the fact that he is a total narcissist (Some people say he is a psychopath, but this isn't true). Narcissistic parents are very likely to be abusive towards children even if it goes unnoticed by others, even by the children.
However, there are also many people out there who claims Ozai never abused Azula. I also sort of agree with this. Yeah, he didn't abuse her physically or verbally like he did with Zuko. But let's not forget psychological and emotional abuse are still abuse. And Ozai totally takes the cake!
When we take a look at their family roles, we clearly see that Ozai was the narcissistic father, Azula was the golden child and Zuko was obviously the scapegoat (also the invisible child at times). And this dynamic makes a ton of sense. So, let's start with the definitions!
-Golden child, as you can understand from its name, is the child who is being favored by their narcissistic parent. They're often lauded for having something special that the narcissistic parent values; such as academic performance, athletics, good-looks... It can be anything. And for Azula, it's because she was a firebending prodigy and an extremely bright strategist, also clearly inherited her father's ruthless nature. And not surprisingly, golden children often have more privileges that the other children don't. And we clearly saw that Azula was given a huge and majestic Fire Nation ship only for her.
Tumblr media
Azula was obviously spoiled rotten by her father. But spoiling a child isn't exactly the same thing with showing affection. But still, I can totally imagine Ozai giving Azula anything in she wants in a materialistic way, doesn't matter how expensive it is. It's no surprise that Ozai poisoned her daughter's mind with a false sense of superiority instead of teaching her empathy and compassion...
-As a contrast to the golden child, the scapegoat is the least favorite/disliked child of the narcissistic parent. Doesn't matter how hard they try, doesn't matter how much they make a progress, doesn't matter how good they actually are, they will never be good enough for the narcissistic parent. They remain as a constant failure and a disappointment. Zuko is literally the embodiment of a scapegoat!
-And lastly, the invisible child is the child who goes unnoticed in the house. They're not recognized and often ignored by their narcissistic parent. Zuko was also ghosted by Ozai in the past. Like...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So now that we are certain about the family roles, we can get deeper into the relationship dynamic between Ozai and Azula.
Narcissistic fathers in real life also tend to favor their daughters over their sons (it's also the same case for narcissistic mothers, they often favor their sons and are rather harsh towards their daughters). Because in the deep down, they fear that son threatens his authority over the family, so he is a potential compitetion in the narcissistic father's eyes. And since Zuko looks nearly identical to his father, this only the encouraged the deep fear in Ozai about his authority being shaken by his son.
But a daughter on the other hand, admires her father, just like how Azula admired and idolized Ozai. Narcissistic supply here everyone! So in other words, Azula was the "flying monkey" in their relationship too. For those who don't know it, let me explain it shortly:
Tumblr media
If you want to learn more about it, you can check the link here, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/women-autism-spectrum-disorder/202010/are-you-narcissist-s-flying-monkey%3Famp&ved=2ahUKEwjCtO7iwJD8AhVsX_EDHQzyB-kQFnoECAcQBQ&usg=AOvVaw1ck3Gk4T-LS0zOmbrijSff
So, why do I think that Azula was the flying monkey? It's because;
-She totally worshipped her father,
-She was obeying his commands,
-She was doing all the dirty works for him...
Think about it, Zuko in Legend of Korra went back to Fire Nation in order to protect his daughter (who was already an adult) from Red Lotus. And Ozai sent his 14 year old child after Avatar, literally the most powerful person in the world.
Yes, you can say that Ozai sent Azula because Zhao failed, Zuko was useless and Iroh was a traitor... And at age of 14, Azula was already a crazy powerful firebender. So, according to Ozai, if someone really could take down the Avatar, it would be his own golden daughter (which she technically did in season 2 finale)
So strangely, Ozai definitely believed in Azula and considered her a strong warrior who would bring glory to Fire Nation, but it wouldn't stop him from using her as his personal weapon. But I'm pretty sure that was Ozai's way of "love" his daughter.
For narcissistic people, love is a complicated case. They only love their children as extensions of themselves. Their supposed love for their children is there, because the children are their parts, their flesh and blood. And Ozai is no exception, of course. Ozai's "love" for Azula was ultimately toxic and conditional.
As a contrast to this, we get a healthy relationship between Ursa and Zuko. They loved each other dearly. Ursa's love for Zuko was genuine and unconditional. Now, that's how you show love!
But because Ozai's approval was hard to earn, Azula had to work for her entire life. She had to do everything perfectly, because Ozai isn't exactly a type of father who would tolerate anything less than perfect. So Azula didn't really have another choice other than being perfect as it befits the Fire Lord's model heir. But of course, Ozai's extremely high expectations forced Azula to become obsessively perfectionistic. It's also a common case in real life. The children of the narcissistic parents often come across as perfectionists in order to please their parents, and Azula is no exception. So, it's no wonder why she cracks at some point due to the all the pressure she lived through for her entire life... And yes, putting so much pressure on a child is definitely a psychological form of abuse.
Tumblr media
So in a sense, Azula had to "walk on eggshells" for her entire life in order to be seem as the ideal princess for the Fire Nation. Oh, and for those who don't know what "walking on eggshells" means,
Tumblr media
(Here is a simple definition. You can check its details)
And why do I say all this? Because Azula was extremely cautious around Ozai in order to not offend or disrespect him. Otherwise, she would become a failure in his eyes, just like Zuko. And we all know how Ozai treats failures... Not nicely
So at the end of the day, Azula was psychologically abused by her father. And she was emotionally abused as well, because neglecting a child's emotional needs is definitely neglect, and neglect is definitely a form of emotional abuse. Which is, again, not surprising since narcissistic parents only care about their golden child when they perform something good. Other than this, they don't give a shit about the child's emotional needs and mental health.
And let's not forget, the golden children are very likely to become narcissistic when they grow up too. So, Azula became just like her daddy. While some of her antisocial traits were innate, they're definitely encouraged by Ozai. So Azula didn't only inherit her father's cruelty in nature, but was also influenced by his cruelty in nurture. Which makes their relationship very interesting. Because Ozai created a monster just like himself
Tumblr media
But strangely... Ozai is a son of a narcissistic father too, but he wasn't a golden child. Just the opposite, he was the scapegoat of his family! Azulon notably favored Iroh and didn't give a shit about Ozai. Worse, he was seen to be cold and harsh towards his own son, just like how Ozai was cold and harsh towards Zuko. That means Azulon definitely Zuko-ed Ozai. And the abuse that he suffered his father's hand turned him into the megalomaniac asshole he is today.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Not exactly the stare of a loving father, is it?)
Which means Ozai projected his own insecurities on Zuko (and it gets worse since he remarkably looks like him and becomes a constant reminder of his weaknesses), and he also projected his grandiosity on Azula, that's why he doted on her skills. Think about it, he truly shows a certain respect towards Zuko when he was told that he slaved the Avatar. In fact, it was the only time that Ozai felt proud of his son.
Tumblr media
At the end of the day, abuse was an endless cycle in the Fire Nation royal family. From Sozin to Azulon, from Azulon to Ozai and Iroh, and from Ozai to Zuko and Azula... They were all circles of the chain, only to Zuko with Iroh's help to break it and ending this toxic cycle for good. Which is a fascinating story in my opinion. And if the cycle continued, Azula could very well become an abuser as well, copying her father. After all, being a victim doesn't prevent someone from becoming an abuser too, which is exactly what happened with Ozai.
Long story short, Ozai indeed abused Azula. But it's a complex situation, not as simple as some people like to dismiss. But their relationship is definitely very interesting in my opinion, and it really stands out as a realistic portrayal of narcissistic father-daughter relationship in the series.
