Guys I think violence might be working for baby Azula

part 15 of drawing avatar screenshots

"What's more wrong; that I too wish to be great or my mother wished she'd had a son?" Brutus - the Buttress

Hello!💖💖💖 Sorry if I'm bothering you, but I just had a thought, would you be interested to draw Azula like this:

I just think it'd look kinda cool. Azula is in the center of attention, she's about to smoke and everyone is offering her their fire.

“I want money, power and glory, I want money and all your power, all your glory” - money power glory LDR

Hiii you’re not bothering at all! I had lots of fun with this request (except for all the hands lolz) 💖💖

Can you do an art of teenage Azula and Zuko in some fancy outfits doing mirror selfies together?

Of course!! I actually made a drawing for this request before I just struggled so much with zuko so this took 3 tries I hope you like it!

Plus the picture Azula actually took:

Pilot Azula is such a vibe I love her (⁠っ⁠˘⁠з⁠(⁠˘⁠⌣⁠˘⁠ ⁠)

Blue fire version under cut

Sisters 🥹💗 @missaccuracy here's a little colored sketch of them fire bending together + kiyi idolizing azula 💗

Got a sad one here, Azula reaction to learning Zuko died? e.g it's not even her fault, the gaang have to tell her, he just - - didn't make it through one of their adventures. How hard does that hit her?

Hii! So I FINALLY did this request after awhile because I was struggling so much with it 😭

I think Azula would first see it as a victory but later when she's alone she would break down

I wanted to make a fully rendered piece but I ended up just coloring sketches instead so I’m genuinely so sorry if that’s not what you wanted

All my Atla screenshot redraws so far

i'm so honored you followed me back omg 🙏🏻🙏🏻 would you ever draw like a soft moment between zuko and azula?

Of course! Here's a rare soft moment between the baby fire siblings

Screaming crying throwing up I love them

The support zuko can only dream of having 😹

Look at them playing like normal kids ☹️

"ZUKOOOOOOO DONT FORGET THE CORN NUTS ITS NOT A PARTYYYY WITHOUT CORN NUTSSSSS!!!!!!!!" - Azula said calmly

how I hate drawing men 😾

I changed Zuko for Veronica instead of katara but now I don't have a JD 😔😔

Repost while I'm making more

Drawing children is so hard 😡😡😡😡

I decided to actually finish a wip no way

!W.I.P! I've been thinking about baby tyzula for some time now

there are a lot of bad takes in the atla fandom (like, atla fandom may as well be a bad take generator) but something that has really been pissing me off lately is the assumption that you can categorize the fire nation royal family into good guys and bad guys. first of all, obviously, they're all bad guys. they are imperialists. but the idea that "sozin ozai azula bad" and "iroh lu ten ursa zuko azulon(?!) good" is actually insane.

lu ten died attempting to conquer the earth kingdom. lu ten was there because his father, iroh, was leading the siege. ursa laughed when iroh joked about burning ba sing se to the ground. zuko laughed too, mirroring his dear mother who taught him about the wonders of imperialism. and the fact that some people think that azulon was a good guy because he favored iroh is crazy. he favored iroh because iroh was the better imperialist, was more charming and tactically savvy as he bent the world to his will. people who think that azulon didn't like ozai because ozai was cruel literally have it backwards. ozai was cruel because azulon didn't like him. sozin shaped azulon, and azulon shaped iroh and ozai. azulon reigned for most of the war, and he was responsible for decimating the southern water tribe and colonizing the earth kingdom.

iroh only realizes the error of his ways well into middle age, after spending a majority of his life colonizing the world. he only stops to reconsider once he experiences the adverse effects of war for himself through the loss of his son. likewise, zuko can only gain empathy for the victims of the war by being one himself, as a refugee in the earth kingdom, and bonding with people who have been hurt by the fire nation. azula doesn't get that chance. ozai doesn't get that chance. azulon, lu ten, and ursa are dead, so they will never get that chance. but it's not like there is some ontological moral divide separating azula from zuko. zuko was a sensitive child whereas azula was better at embodying fire nation values of power and cunning. zuko was punished for his outbursts whereas azula knew how to keep her mouth shut. therefore, zuko experienced circumstances that led him to disavow fire nation imperialism.

but that doesn't mean that azula is ontologically evil. azula was the iroh of her generation to zuko's ozai, and iroh (eventually) disavowed conquest as well. there is no inherent divide between good and bad, monster and human. ursa was a warm and loving mother to zuko, just as iroh was a warm and loving father to lu ten, but they both laughed at others' suffering. their values were shaped by their circumstances and experiences. their ideologies do not make them less human, or less capable of change, just as their interpersonal behaviors do not negate their abhorrent ideologies.
