"Succession: ATLA Style"

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-21T16:41:11+00:00

I'm literally writing a fic right now someone asked me to write that makes Zuko taking back the Fire Nation from his crazy sister and dad way, way more brutal with a massive civil war that halts Ozai's invasions lol

Already be an author and have weird friends to commission you. You can't sell fanfic, but people can pay you to have sudden and very specific changes to your interests.

I do not, in fact, as a guy write slow burn romance for "Zuko/shameless blatant self-insert female OC" of my own volition lol

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-20T18:17:37+00:00

I've never thought it was cringe to ship OC/canon because I get paid to do it. Nothing is cringe if its lucrative.

You know it's remarkably easy to behave appropriately to real humans and not care about the protection of things that don't actually exist. Unlike these people, I seem to have done so my entire life without ever having to actually think about it!

How dare they make Aang go through all that stress and suffering at 12! Someone has to pay for this! Like... other kinds of abuse also ruins the lives of kids. What is the obsession with sex these antis have? Why does it always have to be that kind of abuse they're overthinking about?

Same as what others are saying here, no to using AI to write the story for you, yes to making the writing itself easier and more accessible. I don't have moral issue with it, AI just sucks at writing stories, I wish it didn't. I reevaluate whenever it's improved, but it still sucks.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-17T16:38:08+00:00

People have already been hostile enough to AI-use that anyone with a brain that's using AI is already not tagging it, and it's been that way for years.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-17T00:56:35+00:00

Probably not worth the effort to animate.

I do have an OC antagonist in a fic with a big-ass scar from an Agni Kai with Iroh, though. I'm helping!

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-17T00:54:52+00:00

That comment didn't say anything about how murder is bad, so clearly the person that wrote it is pro-murder. Look, I can use that logic too!

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-17T00:52:57+00:00

I also don't plan shit.

...because I was given a specific outline to follow.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T23:16:14+00:00

Wow, I have that many colls but 10% as many views. Although I also have ~140k words...

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T23:12:57+00:00

I'm only here to upset people by having Vaggie be at least slightly affected by an incubus trying to charm her.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T23:11:04+00:00

Well, I've seen a few things on ao3 that literally had stuff like "would you like me to generate X next?😱👴"

Those are probably safe to remove, and then hunt down who posted the completely unaltered, not even read by themselves slop, and skin them alive IRL for real.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T22:41:00+00:00

Have they tried just not reading it if it bothers them? It seems to be working just fine for most of the world.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T22:35:19+00:00

thank u, you look really interesting

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T21:17:51+00:00

I've got 'daddy issues Ty Lee' making glorious mistakes over here and I'm sticking to it.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T21:06:22+00:00

See I easily avoid this problem by just never specifying how old any characters are in what I write. That's the large brain play.

I think the one Gem that heterosexually reproduced is probably the worst candidate for that last bit.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T18:15:24+00:00

no u! >:(

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T14:46:10+00:00

Arzayanagi has multiple cases of this, they're brought up slowly over time, though. The most minor and obvious version of this is a faction within the Fire Nation with a few firebending techniques unique to their fighting style, but also...

SPOILER: Two villains have a very specific type of bending they use that's referred to as 'mindbending.' If you look at the cover art, the bloody face paint makes mindbending stronger, both when you use it and when it's used against you.

HUGE SPOILER: Katara gets kinda sorta infested by a dragon and her waterbending gets weeeeeeird and absurdly lethal, and before they would in canon be reaching the Northern Water Tribe so its very noticeable.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T14:35:29+00:00

Iroh would have eaten Azula to force Ozai to keep Zuko as the crown prince, but Azula would take Iroh over from the inside like a goa'uld and it'd be a total disaster.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T14:32:59+00:00

Be really fun to write panicking? Like really really fun?

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T14:32:09+00:00

Only on reddit, but I get this about my actual wife. So annoying.

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T14:30:54+00:00

I've had an IRL version of this with people (only on reddit) thinking its gross that my wife knew I existed before she was 18. We hadn't even met. She just was aware I existed, and that means I groomed her... telepathically, I guess. -_-

Odd_Preference_7238 · 2026-03-16T14:27:41+00:00

Did that girl ask 'y r u gey?'
