A rare public announcement -- is it time to RP yet?

[fire_lord_azula]

Welcome to what's possibly the only public entry I'll ever make!

Some preliminary stuff...

So, I've been thinking, and I'd really like to get involved in an LJ-rooted RP or two.  A lot of communities already have an Azula, so I'm at a bit of a loss in finding one.  Same goes for one-on-one RPing: not sure where to go

Hello! I've seen you around some femslash communities and on the Azula community. I'm requesting, if you'd like, to be added to this journal so I could see some entries. I'm a Katara roleplayer and while I do tend to enjoy lurking and discussing Avatar pairings of all sorts, I am a huge femslash fan, particularly Azula femslash (It's so hard to see her any other way for me! I Have no idea why.). I was huge on Azula/Ty Lee and Azula/Mai , but ever since the finale the Katara/Azula bug has bitten me and it's only gotten worse and worse.

I'd like to try roleplaying with you, perhaps, sometime in the future. If you would be okay with that. For now, though, I'd like to see your entries and all of that. If that's okay ♥ Princess ;)

Hello!  Wow -- I'm amazed you found me through a community!  I can't remember the last time I posted in one... it was a while ago.  It's always great to come across someone who enjoys femslash, particularly when it's centered on Azula.  ( Though I often find myself being able to see different points-of-view when it comes to 'shipping, and how someone could arrive at a certain conclusion, I simply can't see Azula being anything but gay.  It's one thing I refuse to compromise or bend on, and I RP her accordingly. )  I've been an Azula/Katara fan for almost two years, and I was looking forward to a confrontation between them for the longest time.  It didn't go at all how I had thought it would!  Azula was the one to act on impulse, and Katara employed the clever strategy to seal her victory.  It was an interesting twist, that's for sure!  I like Azula/Ty Lee and Azula/Mai as well -- honestly, I like her with any girl!

I'm very interested in role-playing with you.  I'd love to work something out and hear any ideas you might have!  I'll

It was. I believe it was around the time of the finale? A bit before it. I think I've seen you on fire prodigy before, too? I just recall that whenever I'd type in an Azula slash interest in the search box, your username always had them, and I was happy to see someone else loved so many Azula pairings at once, too!

And UrsaAzula. The only cest ship I like in the series. God help meAnd yeah, I agree completely. I can look at things from an objective point of view, and see the appeal in many ships that I don't personally ship, and hell-- even see how they could work out. But Azula's interaction with females as opposed to her interaction with males in the series, her Mother issues, and just the ... air she gives off somehow just makes me think she'd have a much better affinity with women and desire them a lot more

It must have been in fire_prodigy!  I remember posting there.

Believe me, it's a thrill for me, too!  I just love when people multiship her with girls.  Azula is too expansive of a character to be secluded to just one pairing.  Her interactions with each girl vary so much, though her sadism and misplaced sense of affection -- a derivative of power, rather than actual love -- remain constant.

It isn't every day that I find someone who likes Azula/Ursa!  It's my only 'cestship, too.  After the finalé, it's been made clear that Azula covets Ursa's love -- it's all-too-easy to imagine her desire varying from a normal mother-daughter bond, particularly when one considers the pain that failed relation caused her.

The air she gives off.  Yes.  Along with everything else you mentioned, there's something about her that makes you think she could only desire females.  It strikes me as sort of an intuition.  You just... know she's gay.

The possibilities truly are endless.  You could spend an afternoon jotting down ideas and still have only

Oh geez, I agree so much it's not even funny. Although I definitely have a few OTPs with her that I favor over any, I am receptive to her having interesting dynamics with pretty much any girl in that series.

Uh-huh! I was convincing my friend tl__dr of the pairing a couple of weeks ago, actually. I can see so much room for how that relationship could develop, since it was obvious that they were not socialized as a normal Mother-Daughter relationship in any sense. Not only that, but if they were to meet in the future, I could see Azula trying to act out as horrible as she could be to her Mother, just to try to get her to think she's a monster -- or admit she thinks it. And Ursa wouldn't, and you know Azula could even use sexual means to try and scare Ursa off, but I think I could see a mutual

"Although I definitely have a few OTPs with her that I favor over any, I am receptive to her having interesting dynamics with pretty much any girl in that series."

My thoughts exactly.  Ursa and Katara are my favorites, but I remain open to any pairing, for the reasons you've stated.

Please, don't stop!  If you have more to add, I would love to hear it!  I don't get to discuss this pairing nearly as much as I would like.  You've made me deeply curious as to what you think would be a mutual attraction.  I find myself in agreement: Azula would want to hear Ursa call her a monster to her face, to affirm her lifelong beliefs.  Because the worst thing that could happen to her, is being proven wrong.

"Exactly! And Azula did none of that, nor did she learn anything. She just broke down. Big difference -- which is why I already am cringing at the well-meaning redeemed/recovering!Azula fics that I see popping up."

I'm cringing along with you.  People tend to write what they wish would happen -- which, in far too many cases, is Azula
