call for meta/music

Don't spend your life conceiving
that the widows won't get sick of their grieving
'til everyone walks out.
Hey, isn't that what rock 'n' roll is all about, Princess?
Confess your bloated self, willful and indignant,
in the face of somebody's lord.


RIGHT. This is a quick-and-dirty plea for commentary (doesn't have to be anything more than surface impressions, but if you want to go deeper, go for it!) relating to one Azula of the Fire Nation, because I have a long and wonderful fic just beginning to crystallise in my consciousness. I'm not even going to start it until I've finished S2 of Avatar and written my Remix assignment and gathered some of my resilience back (no more soulless fics. not for a while.) but I want to collect ideas.

I've spent the afternoon spilling meta at [livejournal.com profile] hobviously and my ideas are a bit clearer as a result, but I want to hear from everyone else. Tell me about her father, and her brother, and her firebending, and how she likes Ty Lee's cheerful amorality and even more she likes the fact that Mai isn't scared of her, but how sometimes she lies awake staring at the stars and wondering if she won't have to kill Mai one of these days.

(I also need music for an Azula playlist; so far I have eleven songs, but I need more.)

!!! IS THE SONG ABOUT HER, OR ABOUT YOU? BECAUSE IF I HAD KNOWN THERE WAS A DESTROYER-SONG-WORTHY CHARACTER ON THAT SHOW, I WOULD HAVE DEMANDED THAT YOU CD ME IT FOR THE SUMMER!

IT IS ABOUT HER. SHE IS...OKAY I WILL PULL BACK THE FULL-THROATED SCREAMS OF EXCITEMENT ABOUT FINDING AN INFLEXIBLE VILLAIN ARCHETYPE WHO IS A *TEENAGE GIRL* AND JUST GO ON ABOUT HOW SMART AND POWERFUL AND RUTHLESS AND OBSESSIVE SHE IS.

If she has the best legs in a business built for kicks, then is she also A Dangerous Woman Up to a Point (http://www.deftone.com/destroyer/index.php?title=A_Dangerous_Woman_Up_to_a_Point)?

No, but Mai might be.

:O

I wish I knew characters who deserved Destroyer songs . . . I have only ever connected Camille/Painter in Your Pocket and me/lots of lyrics, especially the indie rock meta ones.

this avatar business is clearly the good shit.
