I think it would be even funnier if Mai, Azula, and Ty Lee from the series got into the comics universe and watched this circus with incomprehension, confusion, and a desire to laugh their heads off at everyone there

I would like to see a crossover fanfic where Mai, Ty Lee and Azula from the series interact with the Mai, Ty Lee and Azula from the comics.

Azula doodles

From chapter 1 of «Regeneration» by @crithir

Once I decided to sketch some things from Regeneration in a sketchbook, and I liked one frame too much, so.. 👐

(+ I liked the comedic side of this scene)

But also, my wish after rereading first chapter:

[nechto-xlebnoe]

Well... yeah, that definitely sounds like Ty Lee to me

It's wild how "Mai was an entirely fake friend to Azula from the start, who was only taking advantage of her due to her royal status" is now part of official canon.

I really don't see any other reason than the fact that Azula considers herself real friends with Mai (and Ty Lee), why she would decide to personally find Mai (and she really had to look, because she calls the attic (?) a cool place to hide), to compliment Mai on her cool hiding spot, bring her to Agni Kai and brag about how she skillfully arranged everything

Like... Look at her!

This is the face of someone who clearly enjoys his company!

And you can also see the difference between Azula's smile towards Mai at their first meeting/when Azula puts herself on display in front of others

and at the moment when Azula is alone with Mai (and began to consider them as real friends)

She looks so silly!

And this one too:

[nechto-xlebnoe]

But despite the fact that Ty Lee is Azula's earlier friend, she is nowhere to be seen in the crowd at Agni Kai

so can we assume that Azula decided to invite there Mai specifically? Either Azula invited her to Agni Kai too, but Ty Lee decided to ignore Azula and do more interesting things for herself (for example, to do something with the wall of the bathroom on the second floor)

Although I have some questions about the fact that she says she's taking a break from "chasing Azula." Do the Kyoshi Warriors really have so little to do other than chase Azula across the Fire Nation?

I totally agree.

I also find it quite interesting that the comic implies (?) that Ty Lee became friends (fake?real?idk) with Azula earlier than Mai, as she is already seen in her group with her, even if Azula never addresses her directly.

And, comparing her with the rest of the girls, she seems genuinely happy?

Moreover, when Mai pulls off her knife trick (Which raises another pile of illogic, since I can't imagine that parents like Ukano and Michi would let Mai take up knife throwing. It's more like what they would have to do if someone with a higher status intervened), Ty Lee looks kinda amused

But still...

Eh..

At least we have confirmation that Ty Lee was a prankster/troublemaker

I don't know if I should be admiring their diligent efforts to completely ruin and finish off the last good things of their own franchise..

I... I'm really out of words.

I just finished uploading the file of this comic and read it myself, and it's just... OF ALL THE POSSIBLE OPTIONS, they just HAD to choose THIS ONE, RIGHT?

I honestly don't understand how much they have to run into one wall called "The Demon child Azula and her victims" in order not to see the opportunities around them. They didn't even bother to review the series and reread their own official Wikipedia with descriptions of characters and places. Because to fail so badly with characterization... Of course, they've done this many times (95%) before, but to completely kill all the nuance of Dangerous Ladies with ONE comic...

It's really something out of a fantasy series.

About public exile... I have a little idea (Which was inspired and based on someone's post, if I remember correctly, on yours, about mama-bear Ursa) where Zuko publicly expels her from the capital with a Fire Nation restriction, as well as the obligation to check in at various points in the cities/once in a certain period of time (with White Lotus agents "secretly" watching her, as decided by Iroh and as agreed by Zuko). But around the time of the decision to publicly expel Azula, Ursa bursts into the capital with her "friend", who decided to accompany her. During her own exile, Ursa, who, as implied by canon of the show, was an imperialist, visited various places of the Fire Nation, on its borders, and also lived in colonies for a long time. She realized the harm the war was doing to everyone, including her own nation, as she saw poor, unhappy people with faded eyes and in eternal mourning for their sons, fathers and brothers. She forces Zuko to release Azula under house arrest, where she begins to build a fragile, but bond with her. Zuko's decision to exile was announced quite suddenly to everyone except those who participated in the solution of the Azula issue. (Zuko himself explains his actions by saying that it was exile that helped him see the falsity of their ways... completely unaware of how much difference there is not only between him and Azula, but also their circumstances). And, to everyone's shock (Zuko and Azula are just like that) Ursa declares that in this case she will go with Azula. Azula and Ursa pick up Ursa's friend from the hotel and embark on an adventure through the Nation of Fire (and perhaps other nations too?), in which Azula slowly reconnects with Ursa, gets a second mom in the person of Ursa's lover, a easy-going badass woman from the colonies, who at one time also helped Ursa a lot in her changes, and just gets to know the real world outside the capital, full of falsehoods, and mentally heals.

Like for everyone else, for me it's a combination of some of these options. The most possible (and most common in my ideas) future path for Azula that I see is that after the comet she rebels and violently resists for a while, but falls into a deep depression after some time in prison, where she is rather passive towards everything that happens around her. It also peaks there in the form of suicidal thoughts and tendencies. In the subsequent events, she somehow escapes and decides to start traveling the world to understand where she went wrong, that she ended up where she ended up after the Comet, where her father and her entire Nation were wrong. During this same period of time, she comes to a neutral position regarding Zuko's rule, spitting on the throne and politics and basically saying "Let the whole world collapse because of Zuko, as long as it doesn't affect me personally, I don't care." After some time, she decides to settle down, as far away from her old life as possible, in some peaceful and welcoming place, starting a new life. (But whether Zuko's weak rule/search for Azula will ultimately affect the place that has become like home to her and for which she is willing to do anything for the people... that's another question.)
