reasons why you should ship p’lozai; a thread
first of, people are gonna come at me saying ‘but they aren't in the same time line’ um hello??? this is in the avatar universe where they have spirit realms and can bend natural elements. i think its pretty safe to say, you can easily think of a way for the two characters tomeet
dont come at me saying they're not canon cause neither is the whore ship tenminghua. ANYWAY.
p'li and ozai could have met in the spirit realm when they died, or p’li could have gone back in time (although that one is wack so lets focus on the spirit realm). the two are bOTH fire nation AND ozai has met someone w her abilities so he wouldn’t be frightened by her.
by ending up in the spirit realm, they would be very lonely so when they come across each other, it would be a shock that they finally have someone to talk to. cause think about it. no one would want to talk to ozai or p'li in the after life after all the pain theyve caused.
this leaves the two alone together which gives them time to reminisce on their past and share stories, ultimately bonding over their shared interests and political views.
now sure, p'li is upset that she pretty much lost zaheer but when expressing her loss to ozai, he realizes that if he wants to keep her in his life he has to be there for her. so this pretty much just grows his character development from absolutely evil to ‘hey maybe i can help’
now this is a SLOW burn so while they spend all their time in the spirit realm together, yk naturally they start to develop feelings. although its hard at first, there are some things p'li does that ozai will just never understand and ofc they still have their temperament.
the two learn to bond and accept each other, helping each other grow out of their destructible mindset. believe me they are still evil, but this only gives them the opportunity to change their ways.
there are so many possibilities with this ship and quite frankly they probably would have the best character development and story.
i'll link the fic later, end of thread
