Dudes i promise i do not think of Ursa as much as is implied by how much i have spoken about Ursa. I am just so tired of the Ursa is neglectful of Azula narrative everyone is spouting because there is no proof of that within the series. Like at no point is Ursa reacting towards Azula in a way that is not warranted. Specially with a character like Azula that so clearly admires her father, she would have had to be stricter to Azula to try and make her point across.
All kids are different, and you cannot raise kids the same, you have to adjust your parenting to the child. If you are not adjusting your parenting as needed you arent being a good parent.
I seriously do not give two fucks about Ursa but my God will I apparently defend her from stupid takes.
So I have been reading that apparently it was Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko that wanted changes to the netflix adaptation?
Is this true?
i love the point in the hero’s journey where he gets bent over and railed until he cries
Don’t leave this in the tags
I have become more pretentious with age, because I realized I am a lot smarter than the general population. Don't get me wrong I am still really dumb, but I am nowhere near as stupid as I thought I was.

Guess who became obsessed with Edward Scissorhands ajkdhkjdhjska
this was my first attempt to draw Edward in his comic style :3c it's such a cute comiiiiccccc aaaaaaaaa
I want to like more of Tarja's music, but tbh it's not it... don't get me wrong, I love some of her songs... like absolutely adore, to the point that I believe they are worth her solo career....but most of her songs are so disappointing to me
I like how I must be wrong, but no one has shown me proof of Ursa's neglect within the show. Instead i got told just because we don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen, which if you are arguing I am making too many assumptions your argument cannot be an assumption. Which is why I made the post with no assumptions and just things that happen in the show.
Regardless my assumptions can be backed up thank you very much.

Hopefully the last bit i will say about Ursa since my last big post was too much of my own speculation (though i feel all those things are implied within the story).
We do not know enough about Ursa within the series, we know her role as a mother to Zuko, we do not know about her relationship with Azula, or her relationship with Ozai.
We see Ursa scolding Azula for talking about her grandfathers death, the firelord's death. So yes she deserved to be scolded because she was also implying the death of Iroh as well to make Ozai the Firelord
We also see her pull Azula away from a very anxious Zuko, remember what she was doing in that moment? Antagonizing Zuko, practically celebrating that he was going to be killed by Ozai. That is the last known interaction between Ursa and Azula. Given the context, no pretty words were said.
That btw would probably be Azula's last memory of Ursa, which is probably where she got "my own mother thought i was a monster." Azula's perspective on that relationship cannot be trusted, her last interaction with Ursa would have blinded her to all the previous once.
In that same episode we also see Ursa take Azula's side and forcing Zuko to play with Azula.
We also see Ursa scold Zuko for the way he fed the turtle ducks.
Obviously Ursa had an impact on Azula's development, that is her mother. No matter how great the parent, there will be faults. However, what we see of Ursa is only from Zuko's perspective, we see what Zuko saw, we can take it as truth. We do not however know everything that happened. We do not see Azula and Ursa interacting in private, but we are shown that Ursa is fair and we know she was kind to Zuko.
If we go based on the series only there were changes in the family dynamic, Ozai was once a decent father to his kids, and Azula's personality makes her more drawn to Ozai, there would have been no real reason for Ursa to assume he was being a negative influence on her until it was too late.
To me it seems like the Ursa hate comes from people unwilling to accept that there is only so much a parent can do. Sometimes a parent does give to their child, sometimes you do have good parents and it is still not enough for the child. That is Azula's case with Ursa.
Sometimes parents do not have the tools to support their child in the ways their child needs. In this case the best thing Ursa could have done for Zuko and Azula was to take them away from Ozai. She could not do that, she had no power in that dynamic
The interactions we do see in Zuko alone could be done all throughout one year. It is not a show of the day to day dynamic. Iroh's siege lasted 600 days. They receive two letters in that time, the first talks about how great the wall is, so probably early on in the siege, and the second letter once Lu Ten dies, so once the siege ends.
If Azula was neglected we would have seen a moment from Azula's perspective of Ursa choosing Zuko over her, we arent shown that. We saw a flashback of Zhao in the library, if Azula was neglected would have seen it. As it is you cannot say she was neglected by Ursa because we do not know enough about their dynamic. We can only judge based on the characterization seen and we see Ursa be fair and kind.
Everytime we see Ursa scold Azula in the flashback it is warranted, and it shows that Ursa was the one trying to teach Azula to be a better person. Those arent signs of neglect it shows an involved parent. Azula showed behavior that needed to be corrected and Ursa acted on it. Compare what Zuko did when he got scolded by Ursa to what Azula was doing when she got scolded. Completely different levels of bad so that is not a sign of preferential treatment.
Edit: Azula does know Ursa loves her. Azula's issue with Ursa comes down to Zuko being enough for Ursa to dissappear, but Azula was not enough for her to stay.
I think the most important point here is that the majority of Ursa hate comes from complete assumptions based off of Zuko’s view of the situation, like you mentioned. Because Azula is simply being scolded for doing something she shouldn’t do, people suddenly make that the only thing Ursa EVER did to her, despite that not being shown or told to us at all. Like you stated, we see Zuko getting scolded by her too. Seems like she was just doing normal parent things to both children.
The fact that Azula does within the deep recesses of her mind know Ursa loves her pretty much shows that she was never “abused” or “neglected” by Ursa. Azula, deep down, is likely more upset that her mother was unable to help her rather than her feeling Ursa was inadequate as a mother. And if that’s not what she feels, then it’s 100% true generally, based on everything in the show and the comics.
I think you hit the nail on the head here. There was only so much Ursa could do to keep her children from taking after their father. She was lucky to have one that eventually broke free of his influence. Ursa did her best with Azula against a whole country telling her that she should be like her father, and that’s not something we should be shaming Ursa for. It’s so frustrating to see people so casually frame Ursa as the problem when the real problem is the fascist, murderous, manipulative, abusive, neglectful, and pure evil father both children had.
From what i can see the Ursa neglected and abused Azula stems from people who want to make Azula someone she is not.
Yes, Azula is a victim of Ozai and of circumstance. Zuko is too, the difference between is how much influence Ozai had over them. The reason Azula "is crazy and needs to go down," is because Ozai's influence on her was too strong. She was a prodigy on something Ozai placed high value on, and Azula, as any other child would love and live for that praise. Ursa clearly didnt place value on her kids based on skill level. I promise you most kids take pride being better at something than their older siblings, and if it is something the parent with the power in the dynamic praises it is even better.
Yes kids can see which parent has more influence. My parents tried to make it seem like my dad was the decision maker, but all my siblings and i have always known it was our mom, and it is a fact that I have just always known.
It is unfortunate for Azula that her last memory of her mother was a moment where she would be scolded after gloating about Zuko being killed to Zuko himself. I have no doubt that in that moment Ursa would at least imply to Azula that she was a monster for being so happy about it. That being the last memory of her, it would stand out in Azula's mind.
Yes, Ozai groomed her to be the perfect weapon, the Fire Nation Propaganda may have brainwashed her as well. I am positive it was not until Lu Ten died that Iroh started questioning what he had been told his whole life, so i expect Azula to be a victim of the propaganda. That said, Azula also made her own choices, at the age of thirteen Zuko spoke out in the defense of sacrificing men. Azula, at fourteen had no issue with trying to kill Zuko (shooting lightning at him that iroh redirected).
Yes she is a victim but she is also a pepretator. While it can be argued that if she didnt get Zuko and Iroh, she would be punished herself. She didnt have to go for the kill, she could have hesitated, that is her brother. Zuko also never hesitated against fighting Azula, sure but there is a difference, both Zuko and Azula know that Zuko cannot take on Azula and win. They both know who the better firebender is, and the fights we do see him have with Azula (except for 2 of them) we do see him get more frustrated. Contrast that to when Zuko thought Azula fell to her death, he was clearly conflicted.
The fact is people want to see Azula as this poor girl, because they dont want to support someone who is cruel, and a bully. So they turn her only into a victim, and not the perpetrator, she can be both. She is both, but by turning Ursa into an abusive neglectful parent they turn Azula into someone who never stood a chance. Someone who was set up to fail by life. They only like Azula as a victim, yes Ozai groomed her to be a weapon, but she herself made the choice to go into Ba Sing Se, she herself made the choice to fight the Kyoshi warriors, she made the choice to start hunting down Aang. Those were projects she took on herself. Ozai only asked that she bring Zuko and Iroh back.
