old ones

thinking about what zuko means to azula and weeping. he's a traitor but he's your brother. he held you when you were born. he's banished for being too weak to hurt your father and you learn to hate his goodness. he is somewhere in the world carrying your eyes. he misses your absent mother more than he loves you but that is the price you pay for being the one who stayed. he never grants you this same kindness. you are faster and deadlier and better but it doesn't change the fact that your brave big brother used to tell you stories of dragons every time it stormed because you were so afraid of the thunder. he is the only one who understands what it means to bear the brunt of your bloody inheritance. he crumbled under the weight of it, but you stayed. you always stay. he is half of you. you hate being betrayed.

you don't love him. he's your big brother. who could you possibly love more?

the royal family needs to stop changing the colors of their fires. wtf is this

Guileless son, I'll shape your belief And you'll always know that your father's a thief And you won't understand the cause of your grief But you'll always follow the voices beneath

I thought of them.

Why do you always leave me?

Random writing prompt I want to read:

Fire hazard siblings Zuko and Azula getting along and Zuko has One Brain Cell and Azula has Two but they have to work together to overthrow their father because neither of them wants the other one to die.

KEY POINT: Neither of them have talked about it and neither is willing to admit either of them wants to overthrow their father so they just keep strategically "messing up" and being weirdly cool with the other one also fucking up constantly. Outsider POVs don't know what to think lmfao

The hairdresser was banished

Someone pointed out that it was never the point of Zuko's character to be smarter or more powerful than Azula. Exactly. He was meant to be kinder.

"zuzu, you didn't tell your friends about me? i'm hurt."

Fire Siblings 🔥

Royal drama queens

Azula: We should normalize not loving family members.

Zuko: You can just say: “I hate my uncle” or whatever. Talk like a normal person!

Azula: I see…I hate my dumb fat uncle, my abusive despicable horrible father and my neglecting unloving mother.

Azula: Better?

Zuko: Ohh you don’t hate me.

Azula: and my-

get these losers out of the earth kingdom

AZULA GET BACK HERE-
