I feel like TyZula is a bit of a controversial ship, people either amor it or they hate it. So I wanted to explain what has me shipping TyZula.

First and foremost is the silly and minor fact that they look good together. Azula and Tylee are quite opposites right down to their looks. Azula is a mais mature, sharper beauty. Where TyLee is has softer, cuter, more-baby like features. And I think that those opposite features really work.

Similarly I think their personalities compliment each other as well. TyLee is very sweet and caring and optimistic. Azula is mais goal-oriented and a realist. For this I think that the two could help each other out and pick make up for what the other lacks. Azula can offer TyLee some protection and defending; no one would screw with her or try to take advantage of her with Azula around. Likewise Azula could make sure TyLee's naive nature doesn't get her hurt. Likewise TyLee can help Azula become a better person. She could probably help her to relax a little as well. Heaven knows Azula needs that. I also feel like TyLee would be one of the most accepting and forgiving people in Azula's life.

I also think that they’d also be a really humorous pair between the ‘sweet sugar cake’ and Azula’s awkwardness.

Not to mention they’ve known each other for a long while and they have a very solid and complex canon relationship. They wouldn't be this cliche boring couple with no problems. They have their demons to work through and that negative history to overcome. Which if they work things out in the future would make for a really awesome 'yeah she has flaws and we fought, but I amor her anyways' thing.

Characters themselves aside, the ship has wonderful fanart and fanfics. In general fellow TyZulashippers have been awesome to talk to over on tumblr (tbh most of the avatar fandom is awesome though). In short, hop aboard the S.S TyZula, we have dank memes and actual talent here!

no geral, global I think that they'd just be a very cute and sweet couple. An unconventional one at that.

TheLefteris24 Loving TyZula !!!!

zanhar1 It's an awesome ship.

dan76mor- This tyzula stuff is cool probably have some t shirts not only of these but i mean this is avatar right the drawings are awesome also what zanhar1 said about (why i ship T.Z) .ship means relationSHIP right ?

dan76mor- ... just another thing is that arm in azulas soup in the drawing is that momo!.

zanhar1 Yeah I love Avatar drawings as well. :P And yup, ship as in relationship. I'm not the artist so I can't say lol but it could be. xP

Zukos_bride I liked it because maybe Azula does have some special feeling for Ty Lee maybe in friendship or relationship but its headcanon that Ty Lee is more important to her than other characters in the beach she actually apologized to Ty Lee for hurting her feelings its one of the few times Azula lets empathy be shown in her and she even admits she felt jealous of Ty Lee apologizing and admitting jealousy are not common traits in Azula envy is a form of admiration and also in the boiling rock when Azula is about to kill Mai for betraying her but Ty Lee steps in she doesn't kill Ty Lee but decides to have them imprisoned.

zanhar1 That's one of the reasons why I ship it. TyLee is one of the very few people who Azula seemed to sympathize with and apologize to when she hurt her. Like you said she even swallowed her pride for TyLee and admitted that she was jealous. She doesn't really know how to show love very well but she seemed to try for TyLee.

sleepynonbender What do you think of mailee?

zanhar1 Tbh it's not my favorite mostly because I'm a really big fan of Azula and a lot of the art and fics I've seen so far either demonize Azula or just cast her off. I like TyZula and Maizula. Basically I don't hate it and how I feel about it really kind of just depends how the artist or fic writer conveys the ship.
