This is probably a bad sign

Apparently my new thing is to get angry when people call Azula evil. I mean, she only invaded a city, tried to kill her brother, came up with a viable plan for world-wide genocide and also burned that guy's house down that one time. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REDEEMED FROM WORSE!

...also, you can't diagnose sociopathy in a fourteen year old, and her obsessive touching devotion to her father and psychological vulnerability after Mai and Ty Lee betray her suggest that, however much Ozai tried, she's not a fully-blown sociopath.

ALSO, when Zuko confronted the futility of the destiny Ozai had chosen for him, he developed emo-itis fell into an angst coma became physically ill and feverish for a few days. When Azula is confronted with her ultimate powerlessness in her father's eyes, she has a full-blown psychotic breakdown. THEY ARE NOT THAT DIFFERENT.

TL;DR it bugs me when people say she has no soul. In serious meta, I mean; obviously Zuko has had cause to wonder.

I was going to compare Azula to Jaime Lannister for some reason, being that they're both considered monsters, but he gets a manly redemption arc. But then I remembered the other thing Jaime is best known for, aside from regicide. *awkward*

Is it wrong that I suspect they had a threesome with Bumi back in the day?

...No. No it is not.

My own private canon has them as Azulon's little sisters. Which I think I might have picked up from someone, but I can't remember who.

I've seen that as well, but I eventually decided they were Azulon's concubines. Er, because. And, you know, stuff.

For all we know, they still have regular threesomes whenever the White Lotus has mixers.
