bloodyrosemccoyToday’s inexplicable morning epiphany: I have decided that Uncle General Iroh and Fire Lord Ozai must be half-brothers—Fire Lord Azulon’s sons by different mothers.
It’d explain a lot. Most obviously, it’d explain the age difference. But it also would give Ozai some ammunition when he tries to take the throne, because the more the title of “Mrs. Fire Lord Azulon” bounces around amongst the Fire Nation ladies, the more muddy the question of just who counts as the legitimate Crown Prince is.
And anyway, while I know only choice things about his character, I love the idea that Fire Lord Azulon was a Henry VIII-type serial monogamist.*
Sometimes I wish my epiphanies were useful, but hey, I’ll take what I can get.
*I considered that he might be a King of Siam type, but polygamy doesn’t really seem to fit with the Fire Nation.
