Things Azula antis don't want to hear but need to:

Azula is a fictional character. She does not have schizophrenia, or narcissistic personality disorder. And were she real, she would not be diagnosed with either of those things because A. she is not even close to meeting the criteria and B. she is a minor. Stop armchair diagnosing cartoon characters because you read an article on Web MD.

Most of the things Azula did were acts of self-preservation, or to protect her family and her nation.

It is asinine to blame a 9 year old for having a poor relationship with her mother.

Azula is not a "psychopath" or a "sociopath". No one is. Those are loaded, ableist terms used against people who have or exhibit symptoms of Cluster B personality disorders.

Azula loves her dad and brother. Period. I don't care if you don't agree, the literal creators of the show say you're wrong.

Azula did not commit "war crimes". The Geneva convention does not exist in atla and even if it did, she hasn't done anything that would violate it. And even if she did, she is quite literally a child soldier. Child soldiers cannot and should not be held accountable for such things.

.....I'm tired.

The fire nation's defeat was technically Azula's fault.

Zuko and Iroh were branded traitors and failures. Azula was given specific instructions to capture them, dead or alive. Azula had them both red-handed in Ba Sing Se. Instead of doing what she was told, she asks for Zuko's help and she clears his name in return.

Now, it could be argued that without Zuko's help, she would've been pummeled into submission by Aang and Azula. Well, then after his usefulness was used up, she had a chance to pull yet another fast one and apprehend him without having to lie to Ozai.

Zuko acted suspiciously. He made Azula doubt that Aang really died and she began to think that Zuko may have had something to do with his survival. Instead of searching for proof of Aang's survival and informing her suspicions to Ozai, she puts unnecessary risk on herself and sets up a gambit that was ultimately pointless in more ways than one.

If Azula did what she was supposed to do, Zuko and Iroh would be dead or put in prison which leads to Zuko never finding out about the plans with the comet, Aang never finds a firebending sifu, the FN gains victory unopposed, and Azula can reign as Fire Lord.

In short, by choosing to lend Zuko a hand more than once, she indirectly did Team Avatar a huge favor.

Boom: Butterfly Effect.

The FN's MVP was also Team Avatar's MVP. I do enjoy the irony.

I wonder though, what would the Gaang's, Azula's Zuko's, Iroh's, Ozai's, and all of FN's reactions when realizing this epiphany?

It would break Azula.

...no seriously. It would break her.

While I think it would be a bit of a stretch to say that the defeat of the Fire Nation was her fault (cause there's no way in hell she could've seen bringing Zuko home would end up with his betrayal of Ozai), I do think she was hurting already with Zuko betraying her. If she was torn up about Mai and Ty Lee turning on her, I have no doubt she'd feel the same about Zuko regardless of what her relationship with him is right now. Add on to the fact that this is a girl that is hoisted with way too much responsibility than she is able to handle (being driven to become perfect at any cost), a revelation like this would destroy her.

And the fallout wouldn't be pretty. At all. It would probably rival her breakdown at Sozin's Comet, if not be worse. Hell, I think Zuko and Iroh would be a bit concerned for her. Zuko did seem somewhat regretful at her state after the Last Agni Kai and Iroh (while not Azula's biggest fan) probably wouldn't be that callous to brush her off.

Ozai would hate her though. Hate hate HATE her though. He puts on so much pressure for her to be perfect. What do you think the abusive piece of shit is going to do when he puts two and two together. Might even disown her on the spot, which will cause her to spiral even more. And she'd probably lose a lot of support in the Fire Nation for indirectly letting an unpopular successor on the throne, which would cause her to spiral even further.

...kind of why I don't really want to put the blame on the Fire Nation's defeat on her since the poor kid doesn't need that on top of her failures already. Besides, I think the defeat of the Fire Nation can better be laid on Ozai's feet. I mean, he was the one who banished Zuko and mistreated both him and Azula. If we want to go indirect, he set up a domino effect. And directly, he wasn't able to consolidate the Fire Nation's gains at the end of the war which led to a huge rebellion movement. And he certainly didn't seem to want to get involved with fighting Aang during the Day of the Black Sun which could've stacked the odds further against him when the firebending was turned back on. Mind you, this was before Zuko showed up. Like he was sipping tea while Azula was holding the Gaang off.

That being said, I could see him pass the buck off on Azula for the Fire Nation's defeat. Which would lead into the scenario I just outlined above.

miss swift you are not a tortured poet you are a billionaire

The real question now is why is it so easy for Iroh to project on Azula?

Why is it so easy for both Ozai and Iroh to see what they love/hate in her being? Girlie was just born 💀

One thing that I think really stands out about Books 1 and 2 Zuko is how disconnected he is from Fire Nation’s war effort. He doesn’t cheer for or hope for Fire Nation victories and he also doesn’t cheer for or hope for Fire Nation defeats; he neither celebrates nor morns when the Fire Nation wins or losses.  He doesn’t really seem to care very much if the Fire Nation is winning or losing the war. He is just very disconnected from it all and very monofocused on the Avatar and his “destiny.”

“Pre redemption Catra is nothing like pre redemption Zuko! Catra destroyed homes over a selfish mission”

“She held the main character’s friends hostage as bait!”

“She used a means of paralysis on the heroes!”

“She took over a sovereign kingdom!”

“Her headstrong actions indirectly led to a character’s death!”

“She was awful to the person who supported her!”

“She tried to kill the main character!”

Ty Lee: You know, when I told you to bring me something from the beach I meant a shell or a rock or something like that.

Azula, dragging a great white shark into her Ember Island house: How was I supposed to know that?

Azula Ship Competition Round 3 Part 1

I love Azula because I, too, say weird things about ships to boys at parties.

If you take the comics out, I think most writers don't see the many possibilities that Azula.

First of them, she had ONE mental breakdown. Every one in the Gaang had one, this doesn’t make them "insane" (also, not how "sanity" works).

So, first thing, I don't like the idea that Azula is "insane". She had a mental breakdown. It HAPPENS. She doesn’t needs an asylum. She needs therapy, maybe some medication, and a support system.

After that, let's bring the OG Ursa back. The noble lady Ursa, that had a fine marriage at first, that committed unspeakable acts to insure her children's safety before vanishing. Let us see Mama Bear protecting Azula.

Imagine how interesting, how conflicting, if Zuko is trying to decide what to do with his little sister only to his beloved mother be there like "if you try to hurt my daughter or send her away, I'll have to go through me first".

Imagine a Mai and Ty Lee that weren't sugar coated, and yeah, they'll fight to break Azula out and help her out. They were friends for YEARS.

Let Mai tell Zuko that she loves Azula too. That her decision to help him was because she loved him more than she feared Azula. BUT in the same way, she loves Azula more than she fears him.

Let Ty Lee be her manipulative self ready to take a whole troop of benders to make sure her friend is fine.

Let us have Lo and Li there, ready to fight for their "granddaughter".

How would Zuko react?

How would the Gaang react?

What about the rest of the nobility? What Zuko would do when they refuse to respect him, because he was not their Crown Princess?

And the Fire Sages? What to do if the announce that _Zuko_ cheated on their Agni Kai? 2v1 Princess Azula?

What if they refuse to make Zuko Fire Lord and Aang had to force them?

Put them in the uncomfortable position of being the "bad guy". Make them reflect how everything isn't black and white.

What then?

Agreed
