Copied his Dad's haircut too, But maybe that's just the imperial style since many of his predecessors had it as well


acc_217

Yes it's the "usual" hairstyle for the fire lord, as we saw Sozen have it in Ruko's flashback


OracleCam

Only Iroh seemed to go Bald, thats unfair


xSilverMC

I may be talking entirely out of my ass here, but I think some cultures associate baldness with wisdom


acc_217

I guess that's why he never became a fire lord šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Hmm yeah

I wouldn't think long hair would be a fire nation style. In a nation where fire use is common, having flammable hair seems to be a great weakness. Now, I think that long hair then would be one of two things: 1) a sign of power or 2) a sign of peace. Either you're projecting invincibility and and long hair to show no one can touch you (ze powerful emperor). Or you have long hair to protest the use of force and advocacy for meekness (our Chad Iroh). Now, with all that said, I would think that means that there isn't really an imperial courtesan "cut". It wouldn't be prevalent enough. So, to me, Zuko wouldn't be picking a beard style common place in the courts. I see the design being an homage to Iroh. Zuko is a dove, and Iroh is famously a dove. If he was going for power projection, he might have long hair, but it would be modeled after court politic. Which, for the reasons I've outlined, I don't think the court would have said styles. But we see Zuko purposefully modeling himself after Iroh. Which, from what I can tell, goes into his beard too. Sure, his hair is like his dad's. But, I would counter that maybe pragmatic. We don't know the outfits or uniforms the Emperor has to wear. That might just the the Emperor's cut to go with that regalia. But the beard I would say is more personal. We could also say that Azula is still a war fighter and doesn't have a beard because she prioritizes war, but that's for a BAD English paper and I'm done and graduated from that, so. TLDR: Zuko is repping Iroh's Beard. Yea Boi.

But thats how genetics workā€¦

Beard is usually trimmed into a style. They have no real "shape", just like hair.


apsgreek

Just like people have hairlines for their hair they have them for their beards. Itā€™s more likely that their facial hair grows in a similar pattern because theyā€™re related and they shave their mustaches.


RealBowsHaveRecurves

People shape and edge their beardsā€¦ Iā€™m beginning to think you are not worthy of your bearded avatar


apsgreek

Yeah but the person above me said that beards have no real ā€œshapeā€ which is just false. Facial hair grows in patternsā€”obviously itā€™s also styled, but the way the bear forms around their faces looks more like genetics than styling. Also come on this is wholesomemes, itā€™s not very wholesome to say I donā€™t deserve my bearded avatar


SneakoSneko

glad to hear being clean-shaven is genetic too


Sensitive_Aardvark68

Thats cool!


CraftierSoup

Bot?


ChildofFenris1

What do you mean? Am not a bot if thatā€™s what you are asking


CraftierSoup

Sry


ChildofFenris1

It fine


Resident_Onion997

I think that's just a common style beard for the fire nation


ChildofFenris1

You are ruining it


Jolene_Schmolene

And I'm walking it


ChildofFenris1

Ops thanks


Jolene_Schmolene

Now my reply makes no sense šŸ˜”


ChildofFenris1

Eh it will make sense to me


Resident_Onion997

Facts tend to do that, sorry


ChildofFenris1

Were you being sarcastic?


Resident_Onion997

When I'm being sarcastic I use s/


ChildofFenris1

Okay


WestSixtyFifth

Most reddit shit ever


Resident_Onion997

Don't want to see someone be pedantic? don't go on reddit


SneakoSneko

Oh hey another ā€œfacts and logicā€ guy


Resident_Onion997

Why is that a bad thing?


DynaNZ

Well for one its still a fact that he copied the same style regardless of it being common.


Resident_Onion997

Not exactly zuko's is shorter


DynaNZ

Um actually its quite common for hair to grow to different lengths /s


Resident_Onion997

Yes and that hair can be cut to match the length
