Idk how popular this is but the way I always thought about Asuka's eyes is that it was purely neurological and there was no physical damage to her eyes, the trauma from the figbt just forced it to stop working so she put on the eyepatch, then when the blood stopped flowing it began to necrotise and she had to get it removed

Thats such a perfectly in character thing for zuko to do, its so stupid and shortsighted and stubborn and objectively a bad idea but i can 100% see him doing it

It would mever occur to zuko that he could simply be a better dad this is his only idea

There are probably other reasons why Izumi is probably an only child, but I wonder if the reason is to act as a reset for the Fire Nation Royal family. Like Iroh & Ozai had a more one sided fuelled sibling rivalry. Then there’s Zuko & Azula’s sibling rivalry that was spurred on by their father after he exploited who was the stronger bender, and Iroh didn’t help with their sibling rivalry even more.

I wonder as an act of restarting his Nation further Zuko only wanted one child because of addressed and unaddressed toxic sibling rivalries within the family, and decided that with Izumi there would be a clean slate. The last only child within the family was Azulon which Sozin started with to push the Fire Nation ideal and instilled in continuing the Hundred Year War. I would think Zuko would do that but to push the ideals of peace and reparations with Izumi. It would be interesting to think about.

Will be eternally hilarious to me that Ireland, in Cyberpunk canon, is most notable for drug smuggling, being a neutral, unindustrial zone, and super-Tayto Park, some things never change

Can Yusuke die

Azula setting up increasingly ridiculous rube-goldberg machines to kill zuko only to have to try and get him out of the way last second because she forgot he didn't look over her draft for the next year's military budget and it needs to be approved ASAP and a change in power eould delay that too long that it'd become a whole mess and they'd have to use last years budget provisionally and—

my favourite azula redemption arc is just azula chanting "im going to kill him later im going to usurp and kill him later just wait im going to kill zuzu in a moment" over and over and then just. never getting around to it. yeah girl you defo will kill zuko. its been four years and you've been helping him rule. totally part of the murder plan.

Kinda obsessed with the idea of the spirits sending people back in time to help aang beat sozin becayse blah blah balance blah blah and they through like 8 obvious picks that all fail before syaing fuck it and sending back Azula and Jet together and its the only one that works

The ostrich horse thing alone is pretyy awful

I think we need to make a list of all the cruelest things Zuko does over the course of the series. Not the worst things he does but the cruelest and meanest. Just so we have something to reference when someone goes "look how mean Azula is, she's inherently evil."

Azula still loving her father after the show is over is probably the most tragic part of her character. She did everything he wanted, was betrayed by him, yet still if he told her to she would die for him

Am I'm the only person who thinks Azula's love language is really, really clear?

Like, what does she do?

Hugging her friends when she's sees them again.

Telling Mai that she's very glad to see her again.

Humiliating her friend's awful, abusive, neglectful parents in front of her.

Giving her (distinctly non-royal) friends seats on a throne.

Making the impossible happen and sacrificing her status as heir to the throne so that her brother can come home.

Openly telling her honor-obsessed brother than he's restored his honor in her eyes.

Repeatedly trying her best to comfort her super-angsty brother whenever he got worried or stressed or sad.

Using physical touch to try to make her brother feel better.

Getting her brother invited to a party.

Doing what she can to try to prevent Zuko from doing something stupid that will get him banished again.

When she screws up and makes her best friend cry, apologizing and using physical touch to comfort her in order to make her feel better.

Risking her life in order to protect her defenseless father.

This is not an ambiguous list. It's probably more clear and straightforward than what we see of Toph's love language, for instance, and if any character less demonized by the narrative than Azula did what Azula does, the fandom would have zero doubt about how deeply she loves people.

And sure, Azula is a bad friend who does plenty of other things which badly screw up her relationships, but I don't think Mai or Ty Lee or Ozai ever doubted for a second that she cared deeply about them. Zuko was the only one so oblivious he couldn't notice, and I'm sure it was blindingly obvious to both Ty Lee and Mai that Azula loved him very deeply.

And all this clarity of love language came despite Azula not having a single family member who ever showed her clear and unconditionally love and affection.
