I Love Azula But If Her Stans Love Her Too Then At Least Actually Like Her Canon Character Yk 🤦‍♀️

This is exactly how “Nightmares and Daydreams” would have gone down if Zuko had joined the Gaang earlier

Existential crisis buddies for life

me and the fuckass work that's looking at me funny

I love how The Search had the dumb plot line of "omg what if Ozai isn't actually Zuko's father?!" and actually has Zuko doubting it for a while, when he is literally the spitting image of Ozai.

The writers deliberately created Zuko to make him look like Ozai, who is pretty much the adult version of Zuko without a scar, and who Zuko could have turned out to be just like if things went differently for him.

Neither of them are actually very objected to the idea

excited!

The wait is finally over

Ashes of the Academy is on point about Mai and Zuko not being back together yet mostly because the comic takes place around a year after Smoke and Shadow. And the writer of Smoke and Shadow did say they will get together again after three years after Smoke and Shadow right? that means 2 years after Ashes of the Academy. I personally loved seeing Mai's development and her chosen career for the future. It sounds cute being Izumi's teacher at the academy and teasing her.

I do want a comic about them getting back together though. Maybe if there is a Zuko movie? or comic it doesn't matter. they do need to conclude the Fire Nation and Azula's arc.

this is incredible

To the non-maikos it’s always: mai and zuko boring. mai and zuko no passion. maiko only based on logistics. people only like maiko bc it’s canon.

To me it’s: mai and zuko share a cultural background which helps them empathize with each other. mai and zuko have a deep understanding about how the other was raised. mai and zuko take comfort in each other because of that. mai and zuko fit like puzzle pieces. mai calm and is his peace. zuko passionate and brings out her inner fire. mai and zuko are each others safe spaces. mai and zuko both made mistakes during the war and need to grow from it. mai and zuko have Fire nation roots and therefore have experiences that help them envision a better nation. mai and zuko team.

Jet from atla is so funny bc like, he's fighting zuko and taunting him being like "bet you wanna use some fire instead of those swords, dont u fireboy" which is a funny thing to say to a guy who is clearly very eager to fight using swords
