Sozin - Tumblr Posts
Ta Min is fully aware that Roku and Sozin had something going on before Roku met her, but it's okay with her because she had a HUGE crush on Zeisan before she met Roku. Roku, for his part, is completely unaware of this fact.
Barely five minutes into the live action atla and they've already achieved my biggest desire for the show to justify it's existence (spoilers obviously). From the start I was hoping that it wouldn't just be a complete retelling of the original animation but live action. I hoped it would tell the story in a different manner by creating a more mature version of the story, one that's less nickelodeon kid show and more Game of Thrones like for a lack of a better way to put it. And they fucking delivered. The show opens with Sozin literally burning an Earth Kingdom soldier to death on screen and showing you the poor bastard's charred corpse. If that doesn't tell you this is gonna be a different telling of the show I do not know what does and to me that means that from this point on, regardless of it's quality, it has at least managed to justify it's existence
So I noticed everyone talks about how messed up every character's life is but no one ever talked about Ozai.
He had an age gap between him and his brother which leads me to start thinking he might actually be a mistake. If we look closely royals usually have only one child. Sozin was an only child so was Azulon.
Only child thing changes after Ozai.
According to my opinion since he was a mistake his parents didn't give him as much love as they gave to Iroh. Which lead him to be an emotionless person.
His brother was a general and had many military victories whilst he had literally nothing. (I'm not talking about his achievements after being the firelord, we all know he started a new age with machineries) The age gap also didn't help. He grew up being jealous of Iroh and he knew he could never get the throne with his brother on the way.
When Zuko was born his lack of firebending abilities made Ozai don't like him but I think it wasn't the only thing that made him don't like him. He saw Iroh in him. Ursa's fake letter also didn't help.
I think Azula was planned to be a mini Ozai before she was born. When he saw Iroh in Zuko he didn't want the history to repeat itself. Azula being a fire bending prodigy also helped her being favorite even more.
Ozai was never loved and he had a messed up life too. But it's never a reason to be who he is.
at what point do you think the atla writers were like “ohoHO so yeah roku wears that hairpiece bc that’s just what we doodled when we were coming up with character designs but WHAT IF it was ACTUALLY given to him by his tragic sworn-brother turned enemy?? What if we make it a symbol of roku’s deep connection to sozin, his greatest friend and his greatest failure?? what if only the crown prince is supposed to wear it, but at one point in time roku and sozin were so close that tradition didn’t matter half as much as what they had with each other?? What if even decades after their friendship ended roku still wore that hairpiece every single day of his life? What if he died wearing the symbol of his best friend’s love for him as that friend stood above his body and watched it happen and did nothing to stop it? What if it remained a part of his immortal spirit form even after death, a constant reminder that for all the pain and suffering and resentment that existed between them, love was there first, even if it lost in the end? Would that be fucked up or what?” i can only imagine that after they were all done crying they gave the guy who came up with that a raise and a kiss on the lips
