I like it. But that shouldn't mean much, given that I'm not familiar with the canon. :P

How's it going, hun?

What are you on about? I LOVE spoilers. They save me the trouble of actually watching movies and stuff. I guess that answers your question, doesn't it? ;)

Haha, I like spoilers, to a degree ... I mean, sure, I'll read minor spoilers, but if I know how it'll all end, why watch it, you know?

*squeals* You wrote an ATLA fic! And you managed to peg Azula's madness spot on, IMO. Sammy you've just made my day :) Maybe you write some Zuko/Mai next? *insert puppy eyes here* LOVE YOUR ZUKO ICON!

EDIT: This is lteelana btw, I've just re-named my account.

Right now, I'm hungry. Gonna go raid the kitchen for some dinner, since it's after 5 p.m. here.

Spring-Summer season keeps me busy. A ton of social events with family and friends on my calendar the next two months (a cousin's wedding, graduations, an anime convention) But yeah, I'm doing good. :)

This. Very much how I see Azula at the end of the series. Some days are good. And some... some are very bad indeed.

And I suppose, at the end, she's still just a girl who wanted to please her father. Who wanted both of her parents to love her.

Yes. After all, all her insecurities pretty much stem from the fact that her mother loved her brother and her father loved her abilities more than her self. Poor, damaged Azula :(

Thank you for reading :)

I think that Ursa did and still does love Azula. It's just that Azula didn't see it that way. Ursa strikes me as the type to love both of her children equally, but it seemed that she favored Zuko more because he needed more attention than Azula did at the time. I'd say the situation is rather reversed at the moment, however.

Also, the added mental illness (since really, Azula shows most if not all of the classic signs) certainly didn't help matters either.

You think? I think she ... genuinely couldn't relate to Azula. Ursa seems like the type who preaches love and compassion, and to have a child who, from the start, is so evidently cruel ...

Speaking of, what do you think happened to Ursa?

Ohh, that sounds quite interesting. What brought that train of thought up?
