Avatar: The Last Airbender Article: How I Feel About The Many Azula Ships

posted by zanhar1

So as a multi-shipper who ships my favorite character with pretty much everyone I felt like typing up a thing about it. This is not in any particular order (I didn't order it favorite to least favorite nor the reverse). That said;

Mai/Azula

I can actually get on bored with this one. I sort of have this zanhar's rules of shipping and one of those things are; if they're friends it's shippable. This one is in fact less of a crack ship to me. Like I can actually take it seriously. I can't exactly explain why though. I think it's centered around the whole betray thing--fics where the two of them work through that are enjoyable to me. There's also the fact that in my silly rules of shipping book; if the character x's sibling dated character y, then character x and character y are now shippable. Azula being character x, Mai being character y, and Zuko being the sibling.

TyZula

This is another one I can hop abroad. Referring back to the whole friendship rule, there's one reason. The other is that I think Azula needs someone really kind and caring. Someone who would understand her and not give up on her. I know Ty-Lee sided with Mai as opposed to Azula but I feel like Ty-Lee doesn't hate Azula and with time they could fix things. That said, Ty-Lee is a sweet girl, I feel like she'd have that understanding I mentioned above.

Sokkla

This is one of my favorite Azula ships. Again, I can't really say why though. I guess, really thinking about it--it comes with the opposites attract principal--which was like rule 5 on my stupid list. Azula is more serious, Sokka more of the comedian. She's fire, he's water. On top of that Sokka is more laid back, I feel like (despite what went down in The Search) he'd be more forgiving if Azula asked for it. I suppose another huge factor is that he's my favorite male on the show and I tend to ship my favorite male character with my favorite female.

Azulaang

Kataang aside, I do ship this. I ship it for the same reasons as I ship Ty-Lee with her. Hell, I think that Aang would be even more patient with her and more understanding than Ty-Lee. He just that kind of person. Throughout The Search Aang seemed to get along with her the best; despite it all he still asked her how her morning was, he still made attempts to talk to her and such. I also think--as he's such a moral character--he could really help heal her so to speak. He could help her re-build that moral compass Ozai had skewed.

Chan/Azula

Rule #3 of zanhar shipping if they had any romantic relationship on screen at any given time it's still shippable.
This dude is the only dude bro Azula ever kissed period so I ship that.

Azutara

Not gonna lie, this is my OTP on Avatar, next to maybe Sokkla. It falls under rules 3 and 4; If they hate each other/are rivals it's shippable and I often ship my favorite with my least favorite. I also ship this for the opposites attract thing. To be completely honest I don't know why this one is my favorite above all the others.

Jetzula

This one is actually hard for me to ship because they never interacted nor do they even know of each other. I mean it's possible that Jet knows her name because she's the princess, but I doubt Azula even knows that Jet exists. However I can ship this on the basis that they look hot together.

Zucest

Ah yes, the incest ship. Every show has one. Not gonna lie I can roll with this one. Please hear me out on this guys!! I started watching literally in the middle of the book 2 finale--I saw Zuko and Azula working together and I was like damn they'd make a good pair. This being shipped prior to finding out they were siblings. When I found out they were I was like, "oh...ohhhhh!!!" And then there was that scene where he comes into her bedroom to ask her why she gave him credit for 'killing' Aang. It's like damn Bryke, that was way more sexual than it needed to be; I definitely don't talk and or walk up to my brother like that! I guess this is more of a guilty pleasure ship as I find it...interesting? But I wouldn't ever want it to be canon.

Toph/Azula

Is this even a thing? Because if it is, I think it's...interesting

Ozai/Azula

Ya'll know I ship pretty much everything, but this one is just a no for me. He's so much older than she...oh and he's her father! I just can't ship this, not at all.

The Earth King/Azula

Yup, this is a thing and I don't know how it's a thing or why. I ain't gonna judge those who ship it. But I don't. I just can't see it. And that age difference is creepy. I mean I'm all for crack ships but this is too much to me.

Suki/Azula

No.

Zhao/Azula

No.

Iroh/Azula

No.

Appa or Momo/Azula

Crack ship!

Azula/Kuvira

Hell yes. I love both characters so much. The two are so similar and hardcore I just think they'd make a good pair.

Azula/Haru

I guess this is the same principal as Jetzula. But it's more of a crack ship to me because of all the 'save the mustache jokes' I can make.

Lo&Li/Azula

I ain't even gonna go there...except I sort of just did. But a no on this one too.

June/Azula

I suppose I can sort of see this one. I mean not on a canon level but on a fanfic level.

Long Feng/Azula

Refer to the Earth King paragraph.

Roku or any other past Avatar/Azula

I do not ship Rokzula. That's just such a crazy age difference right there among other things!
I may possibly ship Kyoshi/Azula, I mean they're both pretty hardcore, but again this is more of a crack ship.
It's a no on Yangchen/Azula. I just can't see this one being a thing even in fics.
Age difference aside I can get down with Kuruk/Azula, they look good together. It's less cracky than the other stuff but I still don't really ship it seriously.
I can see WanZula. Same idea as Kuruzula.

Azula/Yue

I mean they're both princesses. I guess I'm more neutral on this one. I don't really have an opinion on it either way around.

Azula/The singing nomad

Yup this is another thing. I came across it on Avatar Spirit Net. I think this may be my favorite crack ship. But that's as far as it goes...just something I'd ship for giggles or joke's sake. Nothing I'd ship for real. Same with things like Azula/Cabbage man and Azula/Foamy guy.

Azula/That Servant She Banished

Hooray crack ships! All though this fits under that whole if they're rivals they're shippable. But nah I don't seriously ship this.

Bumi/Azula

Did I miss any character? Well to bad because I feel like pulling anymore pairings out of my bum would just be getting crazy. I already went a crazy.
Oh yeah...nah I don't ship this.

Azula/The Drill

lol

Azula/Lightningbending

*Snickers quietly to myself*

Azula/Cherries

Okay I think I'm done for real guys.

MissCinico, ben1020 and 2 others like this

theelvenqueen I actually ship her with everyone including her bending. But I ship her mainly with Sokka :P Azula and Zuko are actually, erm, quite cute together. I actually wish for Bryke to say they're adopted xD Azulaang is one of my favorite ships. Damn, I sometimes think: "Katara get away from Aang!" and the lightning shot and everything made them more shippable.

zanhar1 To be quite honest I can probably ship everything (except maybe Ozai and Azula) on a crack ship basis. Crack ships are much fun. I also mainly ship her with Sokka...and Katara. Thank you lol! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. When I was reading The Search and saw the part where Zuko thinks he's not really Ozai's son I was just like...so it's not as wrong then. But then it wan't true. Azulaang is also a good one, the fics are so adorable.

KataraLover I didn't even know that some of these ships even existed. This is INSANE! My personal favorite is Jetzula. In every Avatar fanfic I've written, which is like two or so, Azula and Jet always get together. Unfortunately, I'm HORRIBLE at writing Azula because I make her become good and nice too fast instead of making it more natural. But I digress. Ever since i heard about this shipping, I've been a HUGE fan of them. I love the idea of them as a couple because at first they wouldn't be able to stand each other. Jet hates all Fire Nation and Azula looks down upon peasants, especially ones from outside of the Fire Nation. But while their out looks on each other would be negative, they're actually very similar. They fight for what they believe in, have emotional baggage, are brave, clever, calculative, have troubled pasts, they are determined, and both had psychotic meltdowns. I also feel like they'd work off each other very well. I do think that they would crack one-liners at each other, though that's not enough to make a relationship. But I also think that if they were ever fighting together against enemies that they'd make a great duo. I also think that Jet could really help Azula see the good in the world and help her learn how to trust. He actually knows what it's like not to have control over your own mind, so Azula could relate to that with him, even though the reasons for both losing their minds were completely different. Jet could help bring out the good in her because there is good in her and she would help him realize that not all Fire Nation is bad. If there was a show about Azula psychological journey, I think Jet should be her love interest or at least someone similar to him. They're actually my favorite Avatar couple, despite not being official.

zanhar1 Pretty sure I just made some of these up xP but like the nomad and Azula I was like...okay then lol. Jetzula is pretty cool. I've read some of your fics. I feel like I also turn her too nice too quick in fics. Oh well I have fun with it anyways. I think the concept of Jet and Azula learning to love each other is an interesting one as well. They totally would be that sassy hot couple. I'm always more for non-canon couples than canon ones.

KataraLover Just shows how complex of a character Azula is because it shows how difficult she is to write. I have to give props to writers who write complex villains that are supposed to be sympathetic and later reform, it's not an easy job to make it believable. I'm usually for the canon couples, even though there are some exceptions for me.

zanhar1 Indeed. She's a fun character to write in fics though. I do too, any character with depth and sympathetic traits is a character for me. Honestly I'm just all over the place with my ships...and everything else.

KataraLover I've noticed lol

Sokket Azulaang is my OTP, Because I also see that Aang can end up changing Azula much more so then Ty lee but I feel that he'd need Zuko's help in the rehabilitation department because he knew her best out of everyone, they both grew up in the same mentally taxing environment and it gives him a chance for him to pass everything he learned from Iroh down onto Azula. I always imagined that due to Azula being the descendant of Aang's past life, Roku, Aang and Azula have a indestructible spiritual bond to the point where they understand each other on an empathy level, allows them to come closer then they have with anyone else and as a bonus, Aang would know when Azula lies and vice versa. Azula should still have her persuasion skills and she might still be attracted to power. Azula could persuade Aang to embrace the firebender ideologies more often and since Aang's the avatar and gets more powerful (and more physically appealing as a bonus) as he gets older, it's almost a no brainer in that department (On a erotic, smutty side to that department, their might be some bdsm action regarding Aang always pleasing Azula under Aang's request because he's humble that way with Azula on top, but Aang might get his chances to dominate which gets Azula off and Aang still humbly pleases her) In all seriousness, Azula may end up terrified with her relationship with Aang because she suffers flashbacks of the domestic violence between Ozai, Ursa and their kids, another flashback of the time she zapped Aang in the back while in the avatar state, nearly putting a permanent end to the avatar cycle and the air nation, and the nightmarish grin she makes while doing it, another one with Mai and Ty lee leaving her for her poor treatment of them but Aang assures her that she has indeed changed, she reconciles with her old friends, was not like her father and was more like her brother after all and Aang quotes Iroh about perfection and power being overrated and that she's wise to choose happiness and love. Aang may teach her about chakras and how to open/master them and lightning redirection while Azula teaches Aang lightning-bending and Aang might pull it off with ease. I'll be tolerant of Tyzula, Azukka or Maizula (If Mai just so happens to not be the mother of Zuko's daughter, Izumi, even though I hear that she is) so long as either of them exist in the Kataang timeline. Otherwise, I expect Azulaang to exist in the Zutara timeline because Zutara is also my OTP. I have been drawn by the pairing Zucest (But ONLY that incest pairing in avatar) for lustful, erotic, smutty and "porn without plot" reasons only plus it kinda makes sense given how dysfunctional their family is and how messed up Azula is in the mind. There's no way that Zuko would get out of that mess without getting messed up in the mind himself.

zanhar1 Yeah that's one of the reasons I ship Azulaang. I think that he can help her overcome her traumas and that can comfort her when she has relapses and flashbacks. I think that she could use someone understanding and forgiving who wouldn't hold the past against her. And Aang could use someone tough who can teach him new firebending techniques and stick up for him when he's too nice to do it himself.

THE ROLE OF “THE IDIOT” IN ULTIMATE REALITY

posted by wordbender

“I’m such an idiot, Momo!” the avatar boy said
As he bitterly thumped his fist on his head.
Momo did not reply
But gazed hypnotically, wide-eyed at the boy….

“What would Katara say?” he mused;
“ ‘Don’t beat yourself up, Sweetie, you’re only confused’ ?“
“What would Sokka, her brother, advise?
‘Well, since I’m much smarter, you’re so right to surmise!’ ?
What would Toph say?” he thought of her too….
“ ‘Why beat yourself up before I’m through with you?’ ?
And I suppose Zuko would simply yell:
‘You idiot! Can’t you tell?
It’s as plain as distinguishing...

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3 Episode 18(fanmade) Conflicted Emotions

posted by KataraLover

Two weeks has past since Azula took her plan into action. She hadn't killed him yet but she did earn his trust. They had many fights but Jet considered them to be friends. Azula wasn't sure what to think, she still was planning to kill him but at the same time felt something strange. She just saw something inside him, even though he irritated her, she also found something about him interesting.

One day they were at the peak of the hide out, where Jet looks over the city to see if there's trouble. Azula was watching over it being unsure when she'll kill him. Jet spotted her and thought he'd talk...

Okay before you read let me explain it. I'm adding episodes I made up for season 3, they happened after Southern Raiders but before the Ember Island Players. The episodes are all about Azula and Jet, I really think they should've happened on the show so here you go.

In the city of Ba Sing Se, after attempting to kill her brother, Princess Azula payed a visit. As she strolled through the city with her guards, the simple earth kingdom people looked at her in fear. She payed no attention for she was use to being feared by everyone she's ever met. She arrived at the palace, which was taken over....

"Toph,could you please call everyone to the main room for lunch?" Katara asked, spooning steamed rice into some porcelain bowls. Toph sighed, got up, and stomped her feet. A ripple spread out, shaking the entire temple. Katara flinched.

"LUNCH!" hollered Toph. She sat back down and went back to picking her toes. Katara gave her an " Seriously, can't you get anything down in a civilized way?" look.
Toph shrugged.

Katara opened her eyes and looked around Zuko's room taking in the memory of what happened last night. "Good morning" Zuko said with a yawn. Katara still in his arms looked up and then ripped away from him. " So we did make love last night". Katara said. "Yeah" Zuko said in a dreamy way leaning to kiss her. Katara pulled away. "Oh no!".

It's been a week Azula is really stressed because she hasn't got any visits from her mother. She's also very angry not just because of Suki being to suspisous but because of Jet, she decided to talk to Katara since she use to date him.

"Hey you name is Katara right" asked Azula

"Yes it's Katara" said Katara

"You use to date Jet right" asked Azula

"Well kinda. How did you know?" said Katara

Okay so they're all on Appa on their way to the Northern Water Tribe. But Azula is worried what to do when the sun goes down.

"So avatar how long will it take us to get to the north pole" asked Azula

"Well, last time it took us two months, but from Ba Sing Se it should take us just a month to get there" said Aang

"A month? It'll take that long?" asked Azula

"Yes it will" said Aang

"When do we stop to make camp" asked Azula

"I say we go until the moon is up" said Zuko

"But, shouldn't we set up camp before the sun goes down" asked Azula

"No, that will take us longer and the sooner you get there the sooner...

Why I Like Azula

posted by zanhar1

Lol they are played by the same person!!? OMG1 Azula died and became a mushroom in the next life!

So one of my good buddies pointed out that Azula is one of my only favorite characters that I have not written a 'Why I Like' article for. And I though "what the heck, why not" and decided to type it up.

I'll start off with the very basic and semi-shallow reason to like her. I think she's really pretty. Of course this is not the only reason as to why I like her and is certainly not the most prominent nor important. But I think she is simply gorgeous. The long blackish-brown hair is great and as deceiving as she. Lol, it's deceiving because it looks short when it's tied up but it really isn't....

My Thoughts On Each Season Of Avatar: The Last Airbender

posted by whatsupbugs

Avatar: The Last Airbender is an extremely beloved animated series, that has three seasons. Due to usually disliking popular things and having an odd enjoyment for hated things, I kept avoiding this show. I thought I wouldn't enjoy it, but I'm glad I was wrong.

I was planning on ranking the three seasons, but I decided it would make the most sense to go in order. If you haven't seen each season, you might want to avoid reading this article, because there will be spoilers.

Book One

Book One had a lot going against it. In order to keep the show's main villain, Ozai, a mysterious threat, he basically...

The Last Airbender Film Review

posted by whatsupbugs

The Last Airbender is a 2010 action film that was based on a beloved show of the same name. The film got really bad reviews, but I actually really liked the film.

I only saw clips of the animated show before watching the live action film so I'm judging this film by itself instead of comparing it to the show. I still haven't watched any full episodes, but I did enough research to understand the plot and characters.

The film focuses on Aang who's the avatar. He's discovered by a duo of siblings, Katara and Sokka, who become his friends. It's up to them to save the world from the evil Fire Nation....
