Description I promised myself I would not try to play and untangle the complicated chronology game, but darn it...I fell into that trap!

The only thing we know for sure is Firelord Azulon's age at death: 95, as mentionned in an interview with the creators.

Iroh looks older than his brother Ozai, and it wouldn't be surprising if he was close to twice his age. So Iroh could be anywhere between 25-30 by the time Ozai was born, which could put Azulon in his 60's.

Alright, I'll stop here before I go in too deep and get confusticated with people's ages and chronology.

Still, when Iroh learned the news he would have a younger sibling, it must have come as quite a shock (happened to my cousins actually)!

Rough pencils: two thumbnails done on one 8,5X11 piece of paper. I just put the pages one above the other for easier reading. Just a bunch of talking heads again.

All characters belong to Bryan, Mike, Nickelodeon and Viacom. Trying to make sense of that world can cause headaches.

I'd rather not think about it.

Oh, I forgot to mention how utterly ADORABLE that "little sister" panel is....<3 <3 <3

And I think that my computer scrolled down too fast and I missed that one row...."No mental image available"....

Hehe. I love Iroh's expression about the 'active' comment....*sigh* If only he knew how that younger sibiling would turn out. >_<

Yeah, he'd probably make another bad face or something. But at that moment, once the moment of shock is passed, the possibilities could be fun

swan-swan In reply to ??? [2007-05-20 07:42:36 +0000 UTC]

I've always considered Iroh to be in his early forties...his hair seemed to grey overnight, almost....black at Ba Sing Se, grey over Lu Ten's grave.

Incidentally, chronologically, Jeong Jeong apparently deserted the Fire Nation army when Zuko was a year old...hence, preventing him from being at Ba Sing Se...but you're the one having Iroh and Zhao order attacks upon Shipping Vessels and having Iroh give Zuko happy medication...not to mention planning domination of the world through tea shops....so, canonical glitches are easily excusable so long as it's funny (or serious), solid, and well-drawn. ^_^

I don't know if it is a later visit at his son's grave that we see. But it would be something if his hair turned white overnight. Oooh...
Really? JJ deserted the fire nation that long ago? I'll have to go back and listen to the episode, see if anything is mentionned. If it does, no problems: these notes can be fixed and tweaked to work around things. At this moment, we're still a few years away from Ba Sing Se so JJ could still be around.

It's on the Nickelodeon website...I'm not sure if that's ENTIRELY accurate, but....

I DO like the idea of Jeong Jeong and Iroh being buddies, though....

It's a fun site...you might get some ideas...such as the fact that Iroh reportedly enjoys golfing....

Golfing???
Bwahaha! No way! Ok, send me the link if you can please, as it seems I do have trouble finding all these little gems. I'll keep trying to do my own research in the meantime.

[link]

Click on the little Aang symbol, or go to "Shows," and then "Avatar"....a map will come up with little dots in places for the episodes....you can navigate there, and there's a little box (I think it's right below the title) with "1-2" written in it....the screen should display Season 2 by default, but clicking the "1" takes you to Season 1, where there are all sorts of interesting tidbits....there are some glitches and such, but it's very informative and sometimes very amusing.

I think that's all you need for the navigation...it's a load of fun.

How awkward for Iroh... the idea of Daddy Azulon is pretty scary any way you slice it.

Did Iroh choke on his tea? Or did it make him sick to his stomach? I love how Jeong Jeong is so calm. *No mental image available* Thats to entertaining for words!!!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

rufftoon In reply to Ko-koneko [2007-05-20 06:14:12 +0000 UTC]

More like he choke on his own saliva or something. Or he breathed all wrong. No tea involved in that choking accident, the message was enough to cause that.
JJ is calm because that's not his family that is involved, hehe.

Ah, so tempting to have a little AU where Ozai would have been a little sister instead of a brother...hmmm...gotta pass though and finish what's already on my plate. If a good idea comes along though, who knows, I may not be able to resist.

That certainly would have changed lots of things...ooh, time for another AU?
Hmmm...naaa, I'll pass on that one.

ohTHATsean In reply to ??? [2007-05-20 05:05:00 +0000 UTC]

wouldn't Iroh be in line of succession before his brother? Being that he's older? Or did he relinquish that right?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

rufftoon In reply to ohTHATsean [2007-05-20 06:05:07 +0000 UTC]

Iroh definitely was the next one in line for sucession. If something had happened to him, Ozai would be next.
As to what happened to Iroh and his birthright, some of it is explained in one of the episodes of season 2 (Zuko Alone)

heartsyhawk In reply to ??? [2007-05-20 04:59:15 +0000 UTC]

*whistles* And here little ol' me thought having a sibling seven years younger was a big deal. I imagine that'd be my reaction if my parents told me that I was getting another sibling as of now...I think the thought would break my brain...I can only imagine how awkward it would be for Iroh. Twenty plus years of only-child life would probably make it a big deal. Darn shame he didn't end up with a little sister though. I bet Iroh'd be a fun big brother. Instead he was wasted on Ozai...sigh. Things would have probably been very different though, if Ozai was a girl. Aw shoot there goes my imagination, off like a rocket on that what if...

Anyway, enough babbling, awesome pic

What ifs rockets do tend to take off rather fast. Especially "what ifs" history one. Heck, I'm stuck with one you might say (speaking of which, I really should think of updating these pages soon).

What ifs are so much fun and allow for so much creative license I do like yours and soon would be a great time to update it, just thought I'd say

I love the panel where he's trying hard not to visualise ANYTHING. Panel four is nice too- the 'HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?!' expression is very well done.

He almost certainly would have. Seeing as how he sent gifts to his little niece and nephew, even in time of war.
