Mai Is A Lovergirl Forced Into The Body Of A Hater And You Can't Tell Me Otherwise... C'mon, Her Smile

are you five nights at fucking kidding me

i love azula but if her stans love her too then at least actually like her canon character yk 🤦‍♀️

I wonder when the inept Azula stans will realize that this innocent, sweet, caring young Azula “before she was corrupted” doesn’t exist and was never canon. She was not once shown to be some perfect child that got turned bad by Ozai (or Ursa? because people still think she did it? Somehow?). There was never a moment where she was purely friends with Ty Lee or Mai without an ulterior motive.

And no this isn’t saying she was “born evil” or that she has no chance of not being that ever, but more that those tendencies to be manipulative/selfish/cruel have always been there and that she was constantly exposed to an environment that brought out and encouraged those tendencies rather than teaching her to know better.

Ashes of the Academy does not change that. If anything, Ursa’s fear towards the academy being Azula’s downfall shows that she does NOT think her daughter was just “born evil” or anything like that. Again, nothing in the show, the books, or any of the comics infers that Azula was ever not like how she currently is because her environment and influences were consistent from the day she was born.

Too many people want to just say one singular person or thing is at fault for Azula being the way she is, and all of them are wrong. It’s a combination of her extremely manipulative and evil father, living in a country that was upholding the ideals of her father, her mother being largely unable to connect with her, and her status allowing her to get away with her worst tendencies unchecked. Stop reducing the characters you like into a checklist of one-dimensional traits and backstories and you may find them more interesting.

So this is where we are now, huh?

We’re sending threats and stuff to the authors now? Like what are we, the Voltron or Stephen Universe fandom? Jesus Christ.

Sorry your “favorite character” that you fundamentally do not understand is not completely redeemed nor seen as the hero of a comic that is largely not focused on her. Grow up. Get your ass out of the mountain of OOC fanfics you’re reading, and go touch some grass. Stuff like this is pathetic, sad, and indicative of people with no real points to prove just getting angry and lashing out.

I'm in my Maiko feels today, and I gotta say: we don't talk enough about the fact that Mai is too shy to say she loves Zuko to his face.

On The Headband she says "I don't hate you." On The Beach she says "I care about you." In the finale she says "I actually... kind of like you." The ONE time she full on says the word LOVE, is at The Boiling Rock, when she's talking to Azula.

She can call him her boyfriend, act flirty, make out at any time, say he ripped her heart out with the break up letter and jokingly "threaten" him to never do it again... but she just can't say "I love you." She literally started blushing when she tried in the finale, and couldn't get the right words out.

It's such a cute little detail. She's not used to expressing how she feels, so she doesn't know how or when she should say it.

She'll 100% just let it slip someday, in some casual conversation. Zuko is gonna stare at her all wide-eyed and happy, and she's just gonna feel her very soul screaming in agony and embarrassement.

The fact that here on tumblr there's an anti aang tag where grown ass people are calling him rapist, racist and abuser is fucking insane

This site is literally a breeding ground for some of the most deranged fandom behavior ever

that’s MY president and vp!! 😤🦅

found a wip from a year ago ill definitely never be touching again

and while katara and mai are in the battle of their lives and absolutely dominating their enemies there’s a cutscene to zuko and aang arguing over paperwork

so what and who do we have to sacrifice to see this concept happen….
