I went down! I didn't just get hurt, did I? It was worse than that. I was gone! But you brought me back. You saved me.

[ID: Two matching gifs of Katara and Aang from “The Southern Raiders” and “Sozin’s Comet, Part 4: Avatar Aang,” respectively. They are making the same circular motion to attack Yon Rha and Ozai as their opponents cower in fear. Their attack then liquefies as they choose to hold back, drenching Yon Rha and Ozai in water. Katara and Aang then move backwards simultaneously as they relax their fighting stances. End ID]

Happy New Year! Starting the year with a Zuko sketch that got out of hand.

Y'all ever think about how Aang is about the same age Zuko was when he was banished?

(also please dont tag as j-tara!!! this is not ship art lol)

That said, I have to wonder how long they had to converse before the Dai Li even had the chance to eavesdrop on them. We're they just sitting there all day in the hopes that the Dai Li would catch them in the act?

[Image ID: Image is a digital drawing of Zuko, Izumi and Mai. Zuko is shown at the left crouching on one knee with his arms extended and wearing full fire lord regalia. He is smiling and viewed from the side. Mai is shown at the left also crouching on her knees and holding onto baby Izumi who is facing her father and tentatively trying to walk. The scene takes place in a closed courtyard with yellow fans on the walls. End ID](image ID by @bluberry-spicehead )

Like. Neither of them have any idea what they’re doing, or how normal fire nation citizens act, but they’re pretty sure the other one is wrong. Rest of the gaang knows even less. No adults. Zuko and Aang getting into a shouting debate over the finer points of fire nation culture is a nightly event. They are both so wrong, and so, so awkward

Toph, well aware that both are lying through their teeth and have no idea what they’re talking about, and fucking loving every second of this train wreck: Clearly the only solution is for both of you to go into town tomorrow and test your theories out.

Toph is the closest thing to a neutral party they have, in that she knows damn well they’re all full of shit, and has chosen to instead egg them on to make it worse. She’s an agent of chaos, and this is free nightly entertainment. She’s having the time of her life right now.

When Zuko first hears the phrase ‘flameo, hotman’ being thrown around casually, it takes a lot of deep breathing exercises to not immediately return to his previous occupation of hunting the Avatar.

Zuko, in tears: How could you say that

Here’s how I envision a grown-up Mai! I wanted to keep with her dark color scheme, but as the Fire Lady (she and Zuko totally got married, forget the comics, Maiko deserves better), she’d obviously have to have some fancy gold accents. I tried to balance the two by using dark red and black alongside the gold, which made for some nice contrast.⁠ (also idk what’s with the background either don’t ask)⁠

tehRaincoat made the cutest art of Zuko and Izumi <3 Thanks for the commission!
