Honestly Ozais Treatment Of Zuko And Azula Was Probably Less About Who They Were And More About Him Projecting

it’s why even when zuko came back *better* he’d have still probably given the throne to Azula she is his power fantasy I know he came up with the Phoenix king on the fly too it’s all very fucked up your majesty you just get the sense that there was something more ingrained in his dislike of zuko Ozai just hates first born children on principal except iroh unlike zuko who was *soft* (read cared about people) was probably either complacent or apathetic enough (until Lu ten’s death) ​to be a pretty good fire nation heir. or atleast azulon thought so. he was all about that second child agenda. there’s something intoxicating about exceeding your older sibling heir to the train to the point it’s undeniable to everyone that you deserve it more and azulon don’t recognize it in him so he’s so it for Azula princess azula zuko atla avatar the last airbender fire lord ozai atla ozai ozai young Ozai throwing thoughts to the void uncle iroh atla zuko prince zuko atla azula fire nation the fire nation fire lord azulon fire lord zuko zuko and azula Iroh and Ozai endlessly flipping coin
