{ACCIDENTAL VIDEO POST} AZULA'S ADVENTURES IN AMERICAN TELEVISION

[bentflame]

[Here we have Azula coming down the stairs at Cuddy's house, going into the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea before going back home. While waiting for the water to boil she stops to turn on the television, just because she can. Flipping through the channels, lalala... there's a baseball game, some cop show, an stylistic sequence of someone firebending-- WAIT A SECOND. She flips back to that, and curiously begins to watch what is, of course, the intro to the television show Avatar: The Last Airbender (which I looked for all over YouTube and COULD NOT FIND; it's all fan-made openings, sob).]

[When the opening titles end and she speaks, she sounds annoyed-- and genuinely surprised:]

It takes the Avatar's side?

It's a cartoon. How can I be ignorant about a-wait.

'Our' actions?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Yes, our actions.

[x-macattack-x.livejournal.com]

As in-you think you're part of the 'Fire Nation'.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

As in I run the Fire Nation.

[x-macattack-x.livejournal.com]

You run the fire nation. The fictional evil empire in a cartoon.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

We aren't evil.

[x-macattack-x.livejournal.com]

Fine, fine. You run the moderately unsociable to your neighbors and fairly invasion oriented empire in a cartoon.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Unsociable? Hardly. Among other things, we're spreading our culture and ideas. That's hardly unsociable.

And yes, I do.

[x-macattack-x.livejournal.com]

Spreading your culture and ideas. And what do you do with the culture and ideas that are already there?

Right. Uh huh.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Well, we're not going to forbid archaic cultural practices or anything like that. They'll just be subject to our rule and our laws.

You don't believe me? Ask the community.

[x-macattack-x.livejournal.com]

What gives you the right to decide they're archaic?

Who am I to argue with your delusions? I met a guy online who thinks he's the reborn spirit of a fox.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Because they are. It's fact. We're the most advanced and progressive nation in my world, closely followed by the Earth Kingdom. The Water Tribes are just primitive.

I'm not delusional-- neither are most of the other people here. Again, ask.

[x-macattack-x.livejournal.com]

A truly progressive nation wouldn't be influencing their neighbors by force of arms.

Maybe I will ask.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with expansion.

Good; I hate dealing with new people who are in denial.

[x-macattack-x.livejournal.com]

Expansion through war is barbaric.

You get a lot of new people who don't believe you?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

How naive.

Not just me; they don't believe the nature of the community at all at first. It's hardly surprising, but that doesn't mean I like dealing with it.

[x-macattack-x.livejournal.com]

'Look at us, we're so progressive and enlightened we need to violently force our beliefs on others.'

You don't think that sounds barbaric?

Meh. V was telling me something like that. I'll believe it if I see it.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Again, it's mostly about expansion, not believe. And no, it doesn't sound barbaric at all.

That's a common reaction. I still suggest you ask.
