What choice do I have?

Azula: What did I do?!

Monk: Who’s that?

Azula: They don’t like me.

[ Kemurikage appear. ]

Monk: Who’s that?

Azula: They don’t like me either.

[ Iroh and Ursa appear. ]

Monk: Who’s that?!

Like, imagine he found himself in a situation where all of his friends and people he cares about left for one reason or another, he's suffered multiple assassination attempts, he was left in a position he was not prepared for as Fire Lord, he doesn't trust anyone around him and generally he feels like he's losing his mind, so he goes to seek a friend in one person he thinks will understand.

I don't really know what happens from here, got just some hazy ideas. Wherever Azula is staying at is not horribly abusive like that asylum in the comics tho. I don't know how Zuko convinces her to become his ally, really my mind just skipped straight to the image of two chaotic mentally ill teenagers trying to run a country unsupervised, getting into shenanigans and mildly to severely unnerving everyone around them.

Now, this post isn't about how Iroh was wrong for giving her that look and being suspicious and on edge around her when he hasn't seen Azula for 3 years. He actually was right to be suspicious, precisely BECAUSE of that fact. They had no contact for 3 years, and suddenly she shows up out of the blue. That would make anyone rightfully suspicious. But again, that's not what this post is about. This is about the fact that the last time Iroh saw Azula, Ozai had burned Zuko's face. Showing Iroh that he wasn't above harming his children if it suited him. Azula was alone with Ozai for 3 years. Who knows what happened to her during that time frame. And yet, Iroh shows no concern for her well being whatsoever. Doesn't ask how she's been doing all this time or anything like that. Just greets her with disdain. Like. That's just seriously chilling and fucked up. And I didn't even notice this until now. And for someone like Iroh's character, and the way how he is with Zuko? All caring and loving? That just...does not make sense as a writing choice. At all.

Suki: next time I see you your ass is mine.

Many adventures later.

Azula and suki naked laying in each other's arms under a stary sky.

Suki: this isn't what I meant but eh

Azula: huh?

"We are brother and sister. It's important for us to spend time together! Don't you think so, Mom?"

"But Zuko, Prince Zuko, you're a lot of things, but you're not a traitor, are you?"

--

"But I don't have the Avatar. What if Father doesn't restore my honor?"

"He doesn't need to, Zuko. Today, you restored your own honor."

"I've decided to lead the fleet of airships to Ba Sing Se alone. You will remain here in the Fire Nation."

"But I thought we were going to do this together."

Late prompt for Azula Week 2021 - Family & Loyalty @azulaweek

Katara: I...I...I just...

Whoop whoop first Azula week post (event by @azulaweek)

Sorry if it's too early for anyone, I'm posting this at like 2 am in the morning 😭 I've just been really excited to post

First thing that came to mind when reading the first prompt was how lonely it must have been with everyone banished and her friends gone. So I decided to express that by using a big ass room that could really show that loneliness.

Also yes I did just insert an image of the throne room I am far too lazy and impatient to fully draw and render it 😭 besides I never intended for this to be anything big.
