“YOU MEAN ITS NOT OBVIOUS?!”

“IM ABOUT TO CELEBRATE BECOMING AN ONLY CHILD!”

more azula-fied Zuko, for the soul B)

I feel like he’s wear less red than the rest of his family, no idea why- probably tactical purposes-

Empires smp avatar au gem

Gem was raised in the fire nation as a noble and is very in toon with the spirits 

her talents were recognized at a young age and she was forced to leave home in order to undergo training to become a fire sage as a result 

At first she was excited to learn but She ran away when she saw how far the the fire sages had strayed from what she had read about them in the books 

She is technically a defector even though she was not a soldier she did abandon her high position

She was caught once but because of her status and nepotism she was given an opportunity to regain her honor not unlike zuko who was given his own mission to regain his honor but there was two significant differences 

First Her mission was not to capture the avatar instead she was sent out to slay the last two dragons 

And Second unlike zuko who wanted to return home and had to learn what true honor was gem already knew that and only agreed so she could be free to run away again 

Still she knew that they had sent more people than her to kill the dragons and didn’t want anyone to make them go extinct so she still went to find the dragons and actually ended up finding them

the sun warriors allowed gem to stay because The dragons really liked her and she wanted to live in a secluded place that would make hiding from her family and the rest of the fire nation much easier

now you just gotta add ‘related to Mark Hamill but its strained’ to Vader and Zuko and it’ll be all set

ok but if bruce wayne somehow came upon zuko fresh out of banishment he would lose his mind.

black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.

bruce: how’d you get your scar?

zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.

bruce, vibrating with excitement, already pulling adoption papers from his utilility: that’s terrible. how do you feel about capes.

Been obsessing over this outfit for awhile now (⁠ʃ⁠ƪ⁠＾⁠3⁠＾) ❤️

First, thanks for following back even if you'd do that in any case. Second, your skills are great at 16 and I'm looking forward to seeing you develop. Third, as a suggestion: how about the Dangerous Ladies in their 40s?

thank you so much and you're welcome! So sorry for the wait I struggled a little with thisnobe but I hope you like it

Here are the girls! I swear I tried so hard but I genuinely cannot draw people over the age of 25 😭😭

I'm leaving tomorrow for a sea vacation so I thought this was fitting lol

I swear im working on all the suggestions I just keep on getting distracted with new ideas </3

Got a sad one here, Azula reaction to learning Zuko died? e.g it's not even her fault, the gaang have to tell her, he just - - didn't make it through one of their adventures. How hard does that hit her?

Hii! So I FINALLY did this request after awhile because I was struggling so much with it 😭

I think Azula would first see it as a victory but later when she's alone she would break down

I wanted to make a fully rendered piece but I ended up just coloring sketches instead so I’m genuinely so sorry if that’s not what you wanted

ATLA AU book one: water (1/?)

WIP Wednesday Word Search!

Thanks for the tag in this one, babies. @read-and-write- @firenati0n @songliili @kiwiana-writes @rockyroadkylers @gayrootvegetable and @hgejfmw-hgejhsf! 💗 Also: appreciation post for my friends who endlessly tag me in these games/challenges even though I'm not the most active and consistent person on this platform. I love you all.

RULES: use this generator to generate three random words (or however many you'd like to do!) and share the lines where they show up in your WIPs!

The words I got were acquaintance, monk, and challenge.

acquaintance - Exes to What? AU

There’s a bunch of classmates, celebrities, Nora posting a photo dump about their weekly Austen-binge with June popping in every so often in the slides. Pez in another outfit that never fails to fill Alex with awe; they’re the most stylish person he probably knows, and that’s saying something with his revolving door of acquaintances and friends. Ellen with her recent campaign publicity pictures. His dad doesn’t have instagram, but every now and then Oscar’s face shows up on news outlets as the current-seating senator of California. And then, unmistakably enough to Alex’s eyes, there’s also Henry.

monk - ATLA AU

Alex was already in the Avatar State, and finally looking around the room — littered with Fire Nation army uniforms and the remains of a monk who clearly meant something to Alex and June — it's not hard to understand why.

challenge - fake fratboy!Alex who's actually just an animal shelter volunteer AU

So Henry doesn't ask Alex where he goes or why he has new cuts on his hands or what he gets up to whenever he's not in school — only looks at him as if all the burning questions he wants to send Alex's way was his newfound telepathic skill. Does so in the next few days because he can't just let go of things like that, and ultimately only stops when Alex finally shoots back a quizzical look at him. He doesn't look angry, per se, but the littlest hint of a challenge does start resting on his eyebrows whenever he spares Henry a glance.

I combined both games so I'm not sure who to tag that hasn't done it yet but if you already did, take this as a round two I guess the word search is FUN. @blairwaldcrf @later-2-dae @dragonflylady77 @leojfitz @14carrotghoul @matherines @44whispers @movetoheavens @mudbloodpotter05 @happiness-of-the-pursuit @inexplicablymine @user-anakin @littlemisskittentoes

Waterbender tiefling? Idk where this came from but i like it

I've been thinking about rdr2 atla au and just mkay hear me out:

RDR2 AS THE PLOT OF ATLA (+ A ROUGH PLOT)

John: The fucking Avatar, left the temple when he realised, walked the land, when he realised war was about to start he wanted to fly back to the air temple, the storm caught him on his way. Very mad that he is the avatar but also really wants to kick firelords ass, just doesn't know if he is capable enough.

Arthur: The adoptive son of the southern water tribe chief, a firebender but keeps it a secret bcs FUCK FIRE NATION. Knows the ways of the water tribe and is pretty mad the chief left him and Charles here. At the beginning of the series he only knows basic firebending- his technique is very much akin to waterbending (WHICH ALSO MEANS eventually mf will have no problem with lightning bending wink wink) Finds John with Charles while fishing.

Charles: Biological son of the southern water tribe chief and will soon be the new one, with Arthur they are true brothers ALSO he knows Arthur is a firebender. Takes him out to fish regularly to calm both their minds, is also frustrated their father didn't take them with but also understands someone has to protect their tribe. Waterbender, knows basic healing. (The idea is that their father had Charles quite young therefore while he is old, that man is STRONG AF like yes grey hair but also just an incredible water bender, he took in Arthur as a young child/toddler).

Dutch: Zuko and Azula in one. A firebender and a firenation ex-general, kicked out because he spoke out of line. His punishment is looking for the avatar because the firelord knows it's a goose chase. At this point he wants to find an avatar AND overthrow the firelord. (Don't worry Hosea I have a plan).

Hosea: You know he is the uncle Iroh, firebender ofc. Dutchs bestfriend, goes to look for avatar with him, because of that he is no longer a general. Did attack Ba Sing Se, failed and his wife died during. Conflicted on the war, connected with spirit world, taught Dutch his techniques, protective over his and Dutchs soldiers.

Mary Linton: Princess of the northern water tribe, TURNS INTO THE MOON, poor Arthur.

Sadie Adler: Firenation killed her husband, earthbender and is the one to teach John earthbending.

Javier Esquella and Bill Williamson: Send after avatar by firelord, their tactic is to befriend John, end up being conflicted if they want to turn him in or let him kill the firelord

Micah: the firelord- no, I'm kidding, but the guy that got appointed into Dutchs place. When the word spreads that avatar is back and the firelord realises Javier and Bill aren't as efficient as he thought, he hires Micah to find and catch the avatar. At some point teams up with Dutch.

THE ROUGH STORY (i choose to age down the rdr2 characters and subsequently age up their character forms in atla)

Young John is raised at the temple by the air nomads. He is pretty fiesty and overall not a great student, but the monks know he is the avatar. When John finds out, he is very conflicted and unsure of himself. He gets intense airbending training, but because he is not a very well mannered student, they decide to send him away to continue his training (they know war is in the air). John, overwhelmed, runs away and walks the land for few years, somehow managing to never be found. As a young adult, he realises how bad everything is and goes back. He finds his sky bison still waiting, surviving in a cave. Guilt sets in and he flies off, but gets caught in a storm AND FROZEN.

100 years later, Arthur and Charles are the only two men who didn't go with the others to war. They go out fishing and because Arthur is frustrated (they didn't get a message from their father for a long time), Charles suggest him trying some firebending to "blow out steam". It gets out of hand and their ship burns, melting some of the ice. And so they see John and get him and his bison out of the ice. The explosion alerts nearby Dutch and Hosea. But worry not, John kicks their asses.

John, Charles and Arthur start their way to the northern water tribe. Arthur tags along because he thinks that when John finds a firebending master, he could finally learn something new. In the north, Arthur has a romance with Mary, but who turns into the moon while saving the moon spirit. Dutch and Hosea do catch John for a while, but he gets saved by the others. In the end, he and Charles learn new waterbending from the waterbending master.

In a village near Omashu they find Sadie, a strong earthbender and a widow whose husband was killed by the firenation. She agrees to teach John earthbending. They also find the kyoshi island, where Susan, Karen, Tilly and Mary-Beth promise to help if the avatar ever needs it.

During their time they have Dutch and Hosea on their tails but also Javier and Bill. Their tactic on befriending them ends up causing Javier (because he is a way stronger firebender than Bill) to teach John firebending. But the learning is not finished when a huge fight happens between them all AND Micah, who starts it. Javier and Bill show their true colours, so it's Dutch, Micah, Bill and Javier againts Arthur, Charles, John and Sadie. Hosea (at that point againts firelord), gets killed by John when he is in the avatr state. It ends with John being hurt while in avatar state.

Now on the run, John, Charles, Arthur and Sadie end up on a small island in the sea around the north. There he gets healed by a waterbender aka Abigail.

Sozins commet is close and so the final fight comes. John againts the firelord, Arthur and Charles againts Dutch (agni kai, Arthur is able to send back Dutchs lightning), Sadie and Charles againts Micah (they find out Javier and Bill never came back to the firenation, instead they deserted).

In the end John comes back to the island and finds out Abigail is pregnant (cough cough they had a one night stand) and so he spends most of his time there. ALSO PLOT TWIST WHY WAS ARTHUR SUCH A POWERFUL FIREBENDER WELL HE IS RELATED TO THE ROYAL FAMILY and so by some paperwork lies he becomes the new king (during their travels they find more firebenders who helo him with ruling + his father helps). Sadie stays with Arthur mainly just to look for excuses to kill- I mean be mean to ex-firenation soldiers. Charles is now the chief of the southern water tribe and when he and John have time, they look for any airbenders that could leave the temples and survive in hiding.

Agni design!!

Zuko's post

Lore dump under the cut

Agni is one of 8 original benders, they're the 8 spirits of the elements basically. Tui and La are together water, Agni is fire, Yaoji is earth, and Bei, Dongfang, Nan, and Xifang are wind

All 8 original benders have a sacred time of day and a sacred day of the year, when a child is born on the day and time of their nation's patron spirit they are gifted by the spirit. Zuko was born at noon on the summer solstice so he was gifted a kind heart and resilience by Agni

Someone is spirit blessed when a spirit goes out of their way to help the person reach their destiny, like Yue becoming the moon or Zuko becoming Fire Lord

Spirit gifted people are much more common than spirit blessed people

Agni's mortal dragon form lives at the bottom of the Volcano that the Fire Nation capital is built over

Agni design for WIP Wednesday

+ her next to Zuko's full body

Spirit blessed Zuko ideas bc now he's living in my head rent free

- Agni is actually a spirit in this AU bc I was devastated to learn that she does not, in fact, exist in canon

- Zuko was born Agni's favorite, born on the summer solstice at noon, Agni wished to give him many a gifts at his birth but was only allowed one so she gave him a kind heart in hopes it would heal her nation

- at 13 Zuko is banished and his bearly healed wound is infected, almost killing him prematurely

- Iroh prayed to Agni to save his nephew, she obliged, taking this opportunity to bestow him with gifts she couldn't at his birth.

- Zuko's scar tissue turned from melted skin to firey red scales, his hair from a brown deeper than dark chocolate to yellow so warm it looked like liquid gold, and his eyes from golden brown to the pure gold of a dragon's. He radiated light, just like the sun. And his fire turned from an almost solitary orange to a rainbow of colors refracting in the light.

- also, she gave him a dragon

- Sokka thinks Zuko will turn into the sun (he will not)

- Zuko spends like half of season one trying to convince the Gaang that he's there to teach Aang fire bending, not capture him a take him to the Fire Nation

- Everyone is generally disturbed by Zuko when first meeting him because he's the only person in the world to have blonde hair

"Maybe, in another universe my father will love me.."

She already met ran and shaw

I love this!

Zuko actually did run into Ursa when he and Aang went to the Sun Warrior ruins. She was in full Sun Warrior grab and mask and is just as mysterious as Hiccup's mom in the movie.

Ursa leads them through the ruins and traps until they meet the rest of the tribe and dragons. Zuko can't shake the feeling he knew the mysterious person from somewhere. Not until he returned during The Search and Ursa revealed herself to him now that the war was over.

Roleswap AU! Zuko where he's mentally cooked holds a special place in my heart
