@bpdasa Azula my pookie, you will forever be misjudged by the broader audience, even after laying out your whole life’s story before us…

@Deathune my own mother thought i was a monster.....she was right of course but it still hurt

@bpdasa Nah fr Azula was a mean child sure, but her own Mother straight up HATED her before she even had a chance to grow. The expectations and abuse that Ozai inflicted on her, as well as her fear of being abused like Zuko also add into the equation. She deserved a chance at redemption

@RhydonAli yes!! azula yearned for the love of her mother and didn't get it so she turned for approval from her abusive father who only used her like a weapon and an object to be discarded. no one ever loved her or cared about her. like at least zuko had iroh and ursa

@bpdasa It's less the fandom and more that's just how the show frames it, Azula is very much an example of pathologizing power in women, and demonizing mental illness

@56285098J plus the comics demonize azula so badly like the creators hated azula so much. it pisses me AWFFFFF

@bpdasa Not even the creators get her like I do . Trying to push the irredeemable villain narrative like dpmo

@kkyannma the creators despise her and i HATE that they see her as an irredeemable villain. she's our character atp

@bpdasa Azula most based character in that damn show

@CSM_analysis idgaf about her war crimes. she slayed

@SpicierGasp @Vision99Doll why would u say this to me…….my heart is broken

@bpdasa True, but Azusa could have easily been redeemed in a similar manner if only she had had a good-natured family member show her love and direction. So, in a sense, this is actually Iroh's fault.

@CallMeGdubG gag that old man

@bpdasa I mean, I "parents" tried to murder me numerous times, taunted me about it, left me placed to get lost, taunted me about it, and I never thought, hmm I should take this out on others. At least Zuko loved Iroh back. Azula didn't even love him.

@bpdasa She was a Machiavellian and knew she was a bad person, enjoyed being a bad person and never changed. Even in the comics her "character development" was minimal at best.

@bpdasa Keep cookin

@bpdasa @bloomfilters I think this comes down to how the show portrayed the abuse. Zuko’s was VERY overt, physical and often mentioned, whilst Azula’s was very layered, pathological and rarely (if ever) touched upon.

@bpdasa I love them both

@bpdasa Was azula worse than her brother? Yeah. She was also enveloped in a single flawed perspective and instilled with someone else’s values for her entire life.
