>Yes. My thoughts on that sucker are complex.

Hmm. That's one of those phrases that never actually means anything good, like "we have to talk" or "it's about your daughter".

>Having said all that, Azula returning to the Fire Nation as it has

If she openly claimed to be Fire Lord Ozai's long-lost daughter Azula in 291 ASC, would anyone believe her? Or would she get to spend some time reflecting on the irony of being packed off to a mental hospital for not being delusional?

I've only been here for three months and I'm already bored. There's no electroshock therapy. No unnecessary sedation. Not even any elevator music.

>You liked your russian history courses, didn't you?

Well, yes, but mu; I already knew the things that I was referencing there before I took it. (I only took the one. Despite it being called "Russian History II" in the catalog, there is no "Russian History I".)

>I dunno, "Flame Princess" is a pretty good name.

"Let me call out my jack."

"Hi, Jack!"

"JACK NOT NAME! JACK JOB!"

In the process of answering this part, I had an idea which I prefer not to share at this time.

However, I will note that, based on her first canonical appearance (and her earliest costumes), FP has a particular cultural signature going on there which could be of use in devising a UF version of her. She doesn't grant wishes, but a fire spirit in harem pants who's originally found trapped in a lamp? Hmm.

Ty Lee, sure, I can see that, but can anyone really miss Mai? That's like getting nostalgic for the kindergarten teacher who used to hit you across the knuckles for writing with your left hand.*

>Also, she never got to make out with Ty Lee the way she now
>understands that Ty Lee really wanted to but that she was way too
>oblivious to notice.

There's that. Ah, the road not taken.
