Keep calm and love Star Wars

“He kissed her, and because Zuko didn’t have the gift of using the right words at the right time, he put into the kiss everything he wished he was skilled enough to say.

I’m sorry for what I did. It’s one of my biggest regrets. I’ll never betray you again. I haven’t stopped thinking about the cave, and since I joined the group, I can’t stop thinking about you.”

Zutara Week 2022 Day 1: Tradition

Unfortunately this is the only prompt I was able to get done this year. I really wish I had been able to do them all (it’s tragic because I even have some roughs for mini animatics for almost every day ToT who knows maybe I’ll finish them one of these days), but alas I ran out of time and energy just getting off of a project and being in my 9th month of pregnancy. But hey wouldn’t it be fun if my baby was born during this year’s Zutara Week. lol Anywho, just a very short little mini-animatic for this prompt.

Dedicated to the ZDAS, you all are still very much in my thoughts. n.n

Let me live in my delusions! lol

@favlie round 2 for you :) I wanted to put in a little more effort.

They are BEST. FRIENDS.

Zutara Family Sketch Collection 2

(continuation of Rebirth Concept Sketches)

Whenever I have some downtime and a cute headcanon moment manifests in my head for Zuko and Katara and their potential family, I’ve just been jotting them down and collecting them in another big file. So here’s another sketch dump. Been ruminating on a possible story for the ZK kids e.e A big thank you to @gaygurlboots and my sister for their early childhood education experience. They really helped me with references and knowledge about kids so I could draw them better. Kids are so difficult but so fun to draw at the same time, and as a downwardly mobile millennial living in a failed state and facing climate change, I don’t have any kids myself which means no real life reference for me here in quarantine; so I can’t tell you how helpful it is to have my lovely sister and gaygurlboots to provide helpful tips. 

Anywho! Hope you like them!

The No “I Love You” Animatic In case Tumblr can’t play the video, here’s the Vimeo Link

Link to the AO3 collection So, when @fictionissocialinquiry laid out this challenge, it was mainly for writers; but she included some extra prompts therein, and one was a line from Hozier’s “Shrike”.

I couldn’t whisper when you needed it shouted This led me to listen to “Shrike” on repeat while I feverishly started doodling the thumbnails for the animatic I got in my head (so I hope that some of that emotion from Hozier’s amazing song comes through in the final board, ‘cause I listened to it. A. Lot.). While I think it’s a bit easier for drawings to express “I love you” without any words needed at all. I wanted to try and approach the task by thinking of ways one can confess that they love someone through acts of service and tenderness versus super obvious displays of love, I guess. It came out with a sort of courtly love-ish vibe that I really ended up liking. (Though I suppose reciprocation makes it not courtly love ANYWHO…)

I’m in an Ambassador Katara/Fire Lord Zuko state of mind! I just love any love story with them in these roles. There are so many different ways to play with the set up of them as Ambassador and Fire Lord. In this one, I kind of picture that they haven’t gotten together yet (this is divergent from whatever I did in the Reunion animatics; this is it’s own thing). Perhaps they are on the precipice of realizing they want to be together… I don’t know; it’s open to interpretation. XD but what I hope I portrayed clearly is how one can show that they love another. u.u
