Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not.

Call-out post for myself: almost cried on the bus today just from thinking about how Azula was fourteen and had a paranoid mental breakdown because all the people in her life that actually mattered to her betrayed her in like the span of one month and she was suddenly left with no one to foist her failures onto to keep her abusive father from punishing her for her flaws and despite how hard she worked to seem perfect and be perfect for him her only reward was to be handed a meaningless platitude and told to get out of his way

#“you can’t treat me like this! you can’t treat me like zuko!”#everything azula does has layers but that line in particular is just#it cuts to the core of the situation#azula makes herself perfect because zuko wasn’t perfect and look what happened to him#she has to be perfect #and if she’s not perfect she makes jt someone else’s fault#not out of self-delusion but our of survival #god#it’s been ten years this still fucks me up
I just needed to immortalize those, because holy shit did that all hit me hard.
just because i can’t get enough of modern!au, long-haired zuko (don’t repost)
—It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from only one place it become rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, the other nations, will help you become whole. It is the combination of the four elements in one person that makes the Avatar so powerful. But it can make you more powerful too.
