She wants to tell him he doesn't need to worry—she'll never hide her scars from him. The very idea is ridiculous. He's always let her see all of him. Why wouldn't she return the favor?
Zuko is smart. Zuko is protective. Zuko knows the pain of a burn. He'll help her heal. She knows this as surely as she knows her own name.
The burns settle in The Block's first chapter: Love is Wild (read here!). Healing comes in many ways.
Stranger Things season 1: beneath the superficial image of “peace and prosperity” in 1980s small-town America, there was the painful legacy of countless atrocities committed by the American government in the name of ‘freedom.’
Stranger Things season 4: evil Russians (not Soviets) have sent our All-American Hero to the gulags which apparently still exist in the 1980s and it’s up to us to save him 🇺🇸🦅🫡
There’s probably a term that already exists for this but if there isn’t I’m gonna call it ‘Rambofication’ in honor of its probably most well known instance: Rambo First Blood was about a soldier, John Rambo (that’s his actual name I’m not doing a bit), returning home from the Vietnam war, so traumatized by war that he brought the war home with him to a small town, unable to adapt to life without strict military discipline and hierarchy. Subsequent Rambo movies were about how John Rambo was the only supersoldier tough enough and patriotic enough to kill faceless hordes of dastardly foreign commies.
Ergo, ‘Rambofication’ is the process of a series starting with a relatively nuanced or subversive narrative before its sequels become a shallow embrace of the very narrative it originally subverted. It happens surprisingly often!
In the sociological sense, recuperation is the process by which politically radical ideas and images are twisted, co-opted, absorbed, defused, incorporated, annexed or commodified within media culture and bourgeois society, and thus become interpreted through a neutralized, innocuous or more socially conventional perspective.

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.
If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you’d best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we’ve always had a little contact over the years and he heard I’d come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to “Sarah” and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and took loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Uther and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all of the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a final massive hug, waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I got back safe. (More HERE)
I keep seeing this reblogged intermittently, despite it being over a year old now, and I guess Mothering Sunday is as good a day as any to give an update, so here goes: Since this happened we kept in touch, and he and his wonderful partner Sarah have become my surrogate parents, in fact, I just finished talking to Sarah about the mothers day present I got her today.
Tony and Sarah have spent the last year supporting me in every imaginable way. They are there for me whenever I need them and it is amazing to be part of such a wonderful family, even if it’s not by blood. Plus, I’ve never had anyone as proud of me as Anthony is, I won an award for my performance poetry, and he put photos of my trophy on his facebook and twitter pages, raved about how incredible it was and wouldn’t stop telling me how proud of me he is.
They are always there for me, if I need advice, or just a coffee and a chat. And I am so proud, and so happy, and so amazed, to know them, to be loved by them, and to love them. What I thought was a one-off event became the beginning of a new chapter in my life. They have become my family, somehow, and I wouldn’t change that weird turn of events for the world.
What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?
Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.
Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.
Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?
From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.

Tags: #New Gods AU | #For The Spirits
Fic: AO3
Summary:
Zuko was a child when he met Agni. Then, the spirits started coming to him. Eyes hidden in the hallways, voices pleading for help, for recognition, for remembrance.
Zuko could see Agni. He could see the broken remains of a Great Spirit and the empty smiles of amnesiac ghosts.
And they could see him in return.
¦

°°°

Summary:
"Akai Kotou," Jian Li says, "means Solitary Red Island. It's the name Rangi gave to her lover's home. It's the name given to Kyoshi Island by the children of Fire."
.
When Aang, Sokka, and Katara arrive at Kyoshi Island, they're only looking for a place to rest for the night. They don't expect to find new allies, soul-deep connections, and a myriad of secrets.
(Sometimes, Zuko forgets that Jian Li isn't his real name. But now it's time to start remembering.)
¦

°°°
Soundless (Uiscefhuaraithe)
Type: fanfiction & art
Tag: #Soundless AU
Fic: AO3
Summary:
Katara of the Southern Water Tribe has hands scarred by fire and great talent, though no teacher.
Zuko is a mute War Child, a herbalist and healer, and the Blue Spirit. He bears the mark of fire, and the scar of the blade that took away his voice.
The first time they met, the Blue Spirit had just saved her, though not before her hands got burned. The second time they met, his name was Lee, and he was healing her.

°°°
Letters To Home | Leave The City AU
Type: fanfiction & art
Tags: #Letters To Home | #Leave The City AU
Fic: AO3

.

°°°
Hunters AU
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Hunters AU
Summary:
Katara is desperate to end the war that killed her mother and called her father and brother to the battlefield. When Aang, that strange kid she found unconscious out in the snow, is revealed to be the Avatar and flees the South Pole, Katara turns to the Prince who helped the Tribe through the winter months.
The Fire Prince has a plan, and she wants in. For the war to end, he must be crowned, but the only way to reinstate his claim to the throne is by delivering the Avatar to the Fire Lord. Luckily for Aang, nobody said it had to be in chains.
¦

°°°
Tales From The Couch
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Tales From The Couch
Summary:
They're young and stupid, but they're together.
The Gaang's shenanigans in a modern AU. Songs, teasing, bending, and a little bit of love.
°°°
Kintsugi AU
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Kintsugi AU
Summary:
Kintsugi is one of the few cultural practices all the remaining nations have in common. The Water Tribes seal their scars with silver. The Earth Kingdom with bronze. The Fire Nation with gold.
It is a sign of status in the Fire Nation. For one of noble blood to have a natural scar is paramount to disgrace. It's no surprise that Fire Lord Ozai prohibited Zuko's burn to be sealed with Kintsugi after the Agni Kai. Nor that the Prince tried to hide all of his golden scars afterwards.
(After all, it hurts less to pretend you were never worthy.)
°°°
Dandadan AU
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Dandadan AU
Summary:
Yokai, Zuko affirms, are real. Unlike spirits.
Spirits, Katara believes, do exist. Unlike yokai.
As it turns out, they're both right. (And they hate it.)
¦
Or: They make a bet, and it works out just fine. Zuko gets possessed by the Blue Spirit, and Katara is cursed by the Painted Lady, a (reformed) yokai. Oh, the irony.
°°°
Unwilling Hosts AU
Type: art (lore to be shared)
Tag: #Unwilling Hosts AU
Summary:
Sokka's strategy is to infiltrate Prince Jerkbender's ship, play the part of war prisoner, gather as much information on the Fire Nation navy as possible, and leave.
Instead of following the plan—or allowing her brother to ruin it—Katara stomps into the Wani, declares it her permanent-until-I-say-so residence, and proceeds to bully the Prince into an early redemption arc, because he's stupid. Iroh is enjoying the show, Zuko just wants her to go away, and somehow they forget all about the navy's plans. Oops.
¦
Or: A subversion of the Capture trope.
°°°
Marked AU
Cycle in Reverse AU
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Cycle in Reverse AU
Summary:
Once a Prince, Zuko was taken by his Uncle to the Sun Warrior Tribe to heal from his burn and learn the true meaning of fire. Years later, he finds the treasure the Sun Warriors have kept hidden for over a century: a sleeping Avatar.
After waking up the Avatar and running away from the Tribe, Zuko swears to protect Aang, force him to learn all elements if he must, and end the war. Along the way, the Gaang grows to include a sassy sandbender (who's actually a runaway heiress), and two siblings raised in the Foggy Swamp Tribe.
It's all pretty straightforward—until they realize that Aang's century-long coma has greater consequences than they're prepared for.
¦
Or: the title of this AU isn't subtle at all.
°°°
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Marked AU
Summary:
Katara tries to heal the wounds caused by Aang's firebending, but the scars remain. Zuko, who notices the waterbender's marked hands in the midst of battle, thinks he's the one who burned her.
°°°
Halfblood AU
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Halfblood AU
Summary:
Kanna never made it to the South Pole. Instead, she settled down somewhere in the Earth Kingdom.
Katara is a half-child who barely remembers her mother and never met her father. Zuko, an ashkid raised in the Earth Kingdom, is a lone traveler with a single mission in mind: to discover the identity of his father—the man responsible for his mother's death, responsible for Zuko's existence—and murder him.
¦
Or: The road to Ba Sing Se is long, but you're not really alone when the stranger walking besides you understands what it's like to have blood of different elements coursing through your veins.
.
(Inspired by Blue Eye Samurai.)
°°°
Arcane AU
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Arcane AU
Summary:
Enforcer Zuko Kasai has a very simple task: survive in the Undercity long enough to complete his mission, and do so without calling forth Councillor Ozai's wrath. Again. Sounds easy enough, but things get messy when he has zero information about the weapon of massive destruction he's supposed to find and bring back to his father. The things he does to go back home...
The people of Zaun aren't making his job any easier—always getting into trouble he can't sweep under the rug. He sympathizes with their cause, he truly does, but if that Katara girl blows up another factory, Zuko swears he'll jump off a bridge before Father's goons can get to him.
How is he supposed to protect both cities from an unknown danger and reclaim his status as the Kasai Heir in these conditions?
(The solution finds him when a strange kid with a weird connection to the Arcane itself drops almost dead on Katara and Sokka's doorstep.)
(Naturally, it all goes downhill from there.)
°°°
Bloodbound AU
Type: lore & art
Tag: #Blood AU
Summary:
The vampire isn't like others of his kind, she notices. He's strangely gentle, has the self-esteem of a squashed bug, and took care of her injury without succumbing to the temptation of her blood. Without caring that she's a Hunter. But in spite of all his frustrating goodness, the Prince is still a vampire, and he still needs to feast.
Luckily for Zuko, Katara knows of a criminal or two whose blood just begs to be bent (and consumed).
°°°
Dema's AU Kisses
Type: art
Tag: #National Dema AU Kisses Day
Summary:
Sketch requests for kisses and tender moments. Askbox now CLOSED for this event.
°°°
Lyric Comics Series
Type: art
Tag: #Lyric Comics Series
Summary:
A series of comics inspired by my favorite songs and sets of lyrics.
But I swear that I will give more than I take away.
.
It's a wrap! This AU means so much to me, and I've loved sharing it with all of you for these past few weeks. The next post will include the full comic. Thank you for all the love!
