It's so funny being a shipper when you're aroace it's like you're an anthropologist, like hey fictional blorbos who live in my head let me study your bonds under a microscope and take notes on what happens when I throw Valentines Day into your enclosure

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

i have a hard time understanding azula as zuko's enemy in post-a:tla content. i prefer a socially-awkward azula struggling with depression and anxiety, using sarcasm, dry humor that rarely lands well and hyper fixating on hobbies to make up for the fact she has none outside of her appearance, firebending and the war room. i still want her to be a pain in zuko's side and annoy him.

i do not think their relationship would ever be on trusting, good terms but i think what would be interesting is that by having azula as a quasi-advisor, zuko learns more about himself and what he stands for.

i read a post about this that everything azula would say zuko would do the opposite or something like it because he knows her motives. i just think azula would be helpful in respect to knowing the key players of zuko's court because he inherited them from ozai.

the concern is azula would manipulate them to support her as fire lord.

i can see reasons why this would not happen and reasons how it could.

at this point, i am biased because i'd rather see azula exhausted from her father's imprisonment, the loss of the war and zuko taking the throne. that she would rather choose the long, hard path of redemption instead of a quick, deranged fix like being a vigilante to zuko and his regime because, well, i don't see azula giving up palace comforts for rummaging in the woods

we could have had more azula from the beach episode to enjoy is all i'm saying

i feel like we dont point out that its christian doctrine that god thinks we all deserve to burn for eternity for the crime of being born and the only way he'd forgive us is if we completely and utterly devote our lives to him. what a fucking prick.

i love how these two always stealing tiny occasional glances at each other and are so attentive whenever one of them talks

No knives?

No problem.

exactly. i remember watching a:tla when it was airing live on nick and the online discussions at the time. ursa's fate was a big question among the community and we all wanted to know what happened to her. i think the writers were trying to appease the fan base with an answer. death might have seemed too morbid for them. i think it would have been a good idea to keep it a mystery from zuko and the fans for a longer duration of time. it was answered too quickly imo.

one person on here said ursa's fate should never been resolved and remained unanswered to keep the tension and intrigue. i agree and i believe it would have made for some creative fanfictions.

now that i have sat with it, i think the post-a:tla storyline would be better off if ursa does not return or if she did played a very minor role in terms of "screen time"

her disappearance created so much tension and conflict for zuko but her return is sub-par and lackluster

it was not well thought out
