{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?

Exactly how many people have you met in Dr. Cuddy's world or similar ones who agree with you about that?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Do you really think I go around to random people and tell them all about how I'm from another world?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Let's discuss similar ones, then. You know a lot of people on the community, right? Many of them are from worlds where this series exists, or worlds similar to ones that have it. How popular is your cause among these people?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's not as if I've ever taken a survey.

Besides, I'm not about to stop what I'm doing just because a few people from other worlds found it morally reprehensible.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I'm not asking for a scientific poll.

We're not talking about whether you're going to stop.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't discuss it with people who aren't leaders themselves, because otherwise they're not at all likely to understand in any way, shape, or form.

That's good.

[oceanicbutterfly]

You're being evasive.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No, I'm being truthful. I don't know what most people here think of our war, and it doesn't really matter.

[oceanicbutterfly]

If you're not going to bother to find out what people think of what you're doing, then of course you're going to be surprised when you hear from the people who think it's bad.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised about that, I'm surprised that whoever made that television show cast us as the villains. That's different.

[oceanicbutterfly]

No, it isn't. It's just another form of saying they disagree with what you're doing.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

The program should side with those who are actually in the right.

[oceanicbutterfly]

That's probably why it does.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It doesn't.

[oceanicbutterfly]

You're trying to take over the world. That's not generally seen as a heroic action.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Ask my citizens.

...I don't remember if Karen should actually know about this, so let's not worry about it

[oceanicbutterfly]

Ask the air nomads. Oh, wait.

pfffft she could have just found it online or something :P

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

The air nomads weren't Fire Nation citizens.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Neither are the writers of the cartoon.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

They should have done their research better.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Their research on what they believe is a fictional world that they made up themselves.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Excuse me?

They think they made me up?

[oceanicbutterfly]

...

You thought

They

But

... she feels stupid now but she's not going to admit it

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

They could have used a community like this to

And if they had told anyone else that it was real people would have thought they were

...

. . .

How could they have thought we were fictional? They didn't just make it up!
