So in relation to your “Ozai is a dark spirit AU” does he still show up in the human world sometimes? Like in disguise?

Oh he’s still around.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

It's impressive how Neil Gaiman vanished from the internet. Wish Rowling would do the same.

Quick question (that I ask with no judgment btw!!) if you didn’t HC Ozai as trans, would you still draw him the way you do? The lashes, the chest, the nails etc? I ask bc it’s a very glamorous portrayal of him that’s got all sorts of genderqueer vibes and is that the reason for the look?

Oh I’d absolutely still draw him this way lmao tbh the trans hc only came later. I’ve been drawing him this way since I first started drawing him. That’s genuinely how I see him; this very sharp, striking, glamorous bordering on overcompensating creature of secrets and anger.

Being completely real, I only started writing him as not cis as a way to cope with my own gender dysphoria and experience of understanding and presenting myself. Whether that looks oversexualised, ridiculous, iconic or baffling is all a part of that.

The reason I chose him and not a more, y’know, likeable ATLA character is bc I’ve got the kind of autism that means you’re forced to hyperfixate over characters no one else cares about 🥲

Ozai probably escaped in the night one time and that was the last anyone ever heard from him idk who cares

Anyway there’s also this one grumpy old man in Ba Sing Se who supposedly creates poisons for the Dai Li, is never sober and throws eggs at that one tea shop run by General Iroh at least once a week.

IS OZAI WEARING HENNA?? (excited desi screaming)

yes he is!! I’m glad you noticed and liked it! I like to add elements of southeast Asian influences to my atla art.

reminder that "allies welcome" was once secret code for "those not out yet can still participate without putting themselves at risk", and for those who aren't out yet to comfortably exist in these spaces you have to let allies exist in those spaces too.

Literally no one came out of that comic looking good like idk who thought it was a good idea.

Azula’s mental health issues are exploited and warped by all manner of outdated stereotypes.

Zuko loses any braincells or empathy he had in the original series.

Ursa goes from a complex figure who still benefits from a corrupt imperial system but loves her kids, to a selfish, neglectful hypocrite.

Iroh is presumably just…fine with all of this.

Ozai goes from being an already underdeveloped character with shades of some complexity to just being the boogeyman who exists to pop out of the shadows and terrorise anyone within a ten foot radius for…reasons.

This comic could have been an email.

An edit for the ppl bc I’m mad Ozai still doesn’t have his own spinoff material 🙄
