[vid: atla] Crashing Down

[frith_in_thorns]

Look, I made a vid! I think I wanted to celebrate the start of Easter Vac by doing something completely different from of my usual time-wasting pursuits. So I've been obsessively making this all day... and now it's 2am. Whoops.

Title: Crashing Down (song by Heather Dale)
Fandom: Avatar: the Last Airbender
Characters: Azula (and Zuko), gen
Summary: Azula vid, set to the best villainess song ever.

Like the firebird from the ashes,
we will rise to lead the masses;
the strongest will emerge to wear the crown...

Very nicely done!

This is great! The song fits her very well, an Azula I don't see in canon exactly like that but almost, who is just a tiny angle away and is maybe because of that very interesting. Actually the more I think about it the better it fits canon!Azula too.
The first ten seconds are especially wonderful. Other favorite moments: 0:42, the rising airship; 0:51, Azula and Zuko, the music part starting at 2:00, 2:34 onwards and all the great fight scenes, Ozai as oak falling down, and others. Downloading right now :)
(You did that in one day? Wow. How long is your vacation? ^^)

I just found this, and wow, wow wow. This is the perfect song for her. I swear, this vid makes it seem like she's trying to convince her brother to join her in overthrowing their father (which if she believed they could, she totally would... I may have to use that for Kindle the Wind). This is glorious.

I recently rewatched this vid (a few times) and I still love it :) You should post it to AO3 so it's easier to find.
