terajk: Ty Lee and Azula, hugging  (ty lee & azula: hugging)
From: [personal profile] terajk
I AGREE WITH THESE CRANKY THOUGHTS.

Actually I can see where the fandom would've thought Azula had awesome social skills, as they *are* awesome in a very narrow way and the *other* way wasn't evident until very late in the series. But the greatest Azula/Ty Lee moment ever happened at the same time, so....

And post-series, there are all these fics where Ty Lee breaks Azula out from prison, or hospital, or whatever, and then there's blood and chaos and fire, and it's meant to be a good thing that Ty Lee has enabled her abusive girlfriend to go on to abuse more people? Herself included?

Yeah. I never understood why those stories were supposed to be good things. (Although, again, [personal profile] fulselden is the exception that proves the rule.) Also, "escaped mental patient wreaks havoc and kills people" is pretty ableist and also boring, because I watch a lot of horror movies and see it all the time.

In short, I actually really like Azula/Ty Lee, I just hate 90% of the things fandom has to say about it.

Me, too.
