Ozai - Blog Posts
now you just gotta add ‘related to Mark Hamill but its strained’ to Vader and Zuko and it’ll be all set
ok but if bruce wayne somehow came upon zuko fresh out of banishment he would lose his mind.
black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.
bruce: how’d you get your scar?
zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.
bruce, vibrating with excitement, already pulling adoption papers from his utilility: that’s terrible. how do you feel about capes.
Yandere ozai?

A/N: Should I start watching Hunter x Hunter? Sorry, that was random. Anyways, just wanna warn you these hcs are a lil out of order, and I’m sorry. When I wrote it, I just kept coming up with more and more ideas for the “story” so I just kept adding to it. Anyways, hope you like it!
Word count: 956
First of all, you’re a maid in the castle. Yeah, of course he’s seen you in the halls and thought you were attractive, but he never really gave it more thought.
Then Zuko and Azula’s mother left, and that’s when he got hooked on you. He felt lost and you, being the ever-faithful servant, stayed by his side and comforted him.
(We are talking about adults here. You did have sex with him for “comfort.”)
Anyways, after that, you had sealed your fate. While you tried to get on with your life, Ozai wasn’t as forgetful.
Honestly, I think this guy is one of those yanderes who initially don’t want to admit or believe they love you.
Like first, he’ll try other concubines. Women who will bow down to him and such.
Then he’ll finally resort to keeping you near, allowing you to continue being a maid and such (because he initially planned on kicking you to the curb after your night together), but he still doesn’t like that he likes you.
Part of him just feels… addicted. Like he doesn’t want to lose you. But he doesn’t like having that attachment.
Honestly, he’ll want to blame his obsession on you, like make you feel bad for it and stuff.
He’ll keep trying to show off with other women in the castle.
Making out with them during breakfast and such while you’re serving them and you’re just standing around like “did you want eggs or…”
Then, at some point, he doesn’t exactly give in to his feelings, but he understands that as the leader of the world, it doesn’t matter who he’s with.
Ozai’s not really self-concious of you ruining his image; if anything, he kinda wants to use you to flaunt how he can transform someone from rags to riches.
At that point, he’s really fallen for you. He’s on the verge of taking over the world, his rebelling son is still banished, and he’s about to take over the last city that stands a chance against him: Ba Sing Se.
It’s a toss up of whether he wants to flaunt his world to you or to flaunt you to his world.
You better treat everything he does like it’s amazing. Seriously, this guy is pure ego.
If he gifts you something (which is something he does often), you must always repay him. Whether this is sexual or compassionate just depends on his moods.
Maybe I’m wrong about this, but I really don’t think Ozai is the type of yandere to be like “you should feel blessed to be with me,” especially after he’s fallen for you. Initially? Yeah sure, he may have thought that a few times. But after he’s acknowledged the fact that he can’t let you go, I don’t think he’d rub his love in your face too much. He’d be more obsessed with showing you what he can do.
You’re his world now, and giving you the entire world is his perfect gift.
In the end, of course he’s captured for attempting to do this, and his third or fourth thought is “oh shit, where’s YN?”
He orders the last of all the Ozai loyalists to capture you and, I’ll be frank, he wants you to go out “together even in death” style.
With a forced kiss, he’ll make you drink poison in his cell while he holds you in his arms (he ignores your struggling and crying). After the life has faded from your body, he takes his own swig and you go out together.
Anyways, back to before all of this (sorry this is so out of order) right after you had sex with him to comfort his wife leaving, I think he more fell for you because you symbolized a new hope for him.
He had made you feel so good that night. Deep down, he wanted to keep making you feel that good.
Ozai wanted to prove to you but mostly himself that he could keep a woman and please her. He wanted his ex-wife to regret leaving him, so he was going to give you the world.
Getting right back into it, he is a crazed king, mind you, so he will use his power for self-gain. If you’re talking to someone, no matter the gender, he’s going to banish them.
(Of course if they touch you, their life is the price of their misdeed.)
You, on the other hand, are also forced to take responsibility for your mistakes.
It’s not uncommon that he’ll lock you away to keep you from interacting with others, but if you’re wrong-doings are especially horrible, whippings and burnings are not uncommon. (Plus, he likes the sight of his fire touching and permanently marking your skin. It’s like a physical claim no one, not even you, can get rid of. It keeps you knowing your place.)
There’s really no list of rules Ozai has set for you, but they’ve become clear to you over the years you’ve been with him.
1: No contact with others.
2: Always repay your lord for his kindness.
3: Bow when he enters and leaves a room.
4: Give him a kiss or more whenever he acknowledges your presence.
5: Never disobey an order from your master.
Truly, being with Ozai is quite simple: learn your place and no one gets hurt.
Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.
Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.
He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.
And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.
Loserlord indeed
Iroh: you know when I was your age...
Ozai: when I was your height?
Iroh:
Iroh: listen here you little shit
Ozai: "You must capture the Avatar to regain your honor."
Zuko: "Instructions unclear, ending up joining him to overthrow you."
Idk I might make more of these tbh also boomer ozai canon (idk that he's in his 40s) ᕙ(＠°▽°＠)ᕗ
The major arcana is finished!!!!!!!
I'm thinking of getting this printed in a mini zine. If you're interested please let me know since I'm looking for distributers for a copy for myself at least.
Commissions are open and info can be found here
My ko-fi is here
GUYS I THINK THAT THE LA ATLA IS PRETTY GOOD GUYS LIKE.
YES, katara isnt angry enough but is it really 2010 bad? its also the writers fault not the actress like kiawentiio is SOOOO katara in all of the interviews etc
YES, ozai is hot BUT thats seriously doesnt excuse THE CHILD ABUSE!!!! yall can simp for him but dont condone his actions :))))))
YES, zuko is sassy af THATS HOW HES SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE. did we seriously watch the same show
SOKKAS' ACTOR IS NOT WHITE, like if he was and he got the role, it's the casting directors's fault. they didn't know what they were auditioning for, so i don't see why he would've lied about his background. plus, he really doesn't look white, like at all. and seriously, how would you feel if someone told you that you were lying about your race
A quote from me, about Ozai:
"He beat his own 13 year old and said..yeah.. i can beat all 13 year olds”
homophobic lesbian icon fujozula strikes again
extra:
there are a lot of bad takes in the atla fandom (like, atla fandom may as well be a bad take generator) but something that has really been pissing me off lately is the assumption that you can categorize the fire nation royal family into good guys and bad guys. first of all, obviously, they're all bad guys. they are imperialists. but the idea that "sozin ozai azula bad" and "iroh lu ten ursa zuko azulon(?!) good" is actually insane.
lu ten died attempting to conquer the earth kingdom. lu ten was there because his father, iroh, was leading the siege. ursa laughed when iroh joked about burning ba sing se to the ground. zuko laughed too, mirroring his dear mother who taught him about the wonders of imperialism. and the fact that some people think that azulon was a good guy because he favored iroh is crazy. he favored iroh because iroh was the better imperialist, was more charming and tactically savvy as he bent the world to his will. people who think that azulon didn't like ozai because ozai was cruel literally have it backwards. ozai was cruel because azulon didn't like him. sozin shaped azulon, and azulon shaped iroh and ozai. azulon reigned for most of the war, and he was responsible for decimating the southern water tribe and colonizing the earth kingdom.
iroh only realizes the error of his ways well into middle age, after spending a majority of his life colonizing the world. he only stops to reconsider once he experiences the adverse effects of war for himself through the loss of his son. likewise, zuko can only gain empathy for the victims of the war by being one himself, as a refugee in the earth kingdom, and bonding with people who have been hurt by the fire nation. azula doesn't get that chance. ozai doesn't get that chance. azulon, lu ten, and ursa are dead, so they will never get that chance. but it's not like there is some ontological moral divide separating azula from zuko. zuko was a sensitive child whereas azula was better at embodying fire nation values of power and cunning. zuko was punished for his outbursts whereas azula knew how to keep her mouth shut. therefore, zuko experienced circumstances that led him to disavow fire nation imperialism.
but that doesn't mean that azula is ontologically evil. azula was the iroh of her generation to zuko's ozai, and iroh (eventually) disavowed conquest as well. there is no inherent divide between good and bad, monster and human. ursa was a warm and loving mother to zuko, just as iroh was a warm and loving father to lu ten, but they both laughed at others' suffering. their values were shaped by their circumstances and experiences. their ideologies do not make them less human, or less capable of change, just as their interpersonal behaviors do not negate their abhorrent ideologies.
Hawkstar design for yall
Please ignore the biology of him being a calico and colourpoint and having kids all at the same time
Also I think this is unironically my favorite Warriors design I’ve like ever done he’s so silly and snarky looking I would let him burn my nation to the ground :3
“You will learn respect, and suffering will be your teacher.”
Another crossover au post but this time I’ve given them clan names
At the current point, Zuko is known as Seapaw (at 7 moons old), and Ozai is known as Hawkstar (like 60 moons??? Idk)
I’ll post some refs soon, I have a whole sketchbook worth of crossover content now so I’m gonna slowly translate a bunch to digital and post it lol
made this and thought it was really funny for no reason
Seeing people say that Aang should’ve killed Ozai is crazy because we all know Ozai would’ve rather died than lose his bending and by extension his ability to exert control over his people and the rest of the world. Ultimately death would’ve been a mercy, now Ozai has to spend the rest of his of life weak and powerless, rotting away in a jail cell. Also he has to spend the rest of his life knowing he got his ass beat by a 12 year old.
