I'll Make It Up As I Go

Jumping on the FLWOGB art train! I love this story by @oldpotatoe so much, I literally do not have words. The description of Sokka’s nightmare in chapter 19 grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. It was such a powerful image but also fit so perfectly as a representation of the emotions happening...

I just highly recommend this story. Even though it is killing me slowly lol.

tbc...

Just a little Zuko POV inspired by @oldpotatoe’s FLWOGB cuz I’m desperate for Zuko’s pov

Ahsoka: You love us, right?

Obi-Wan:

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.

J: "wan na kno w h ow i go t thes e sc ar s"

Consider

Iroh: you too must learn patience. Boiling the water ruins the delicate flavor of the white jade

Alfred: oh I'm dreadfully sorry - for some reason I expected this tea to have TEA in it

(later)

Alfred: *aggressively laying out full tea service with milk, lemon, sugar, and, just to drive his point in, jam*

while Zuko is enthusiastic about cream and sugar

don't call someone queer if they've explicitly asked you not to

what reclaiming "queer" ALSO means

you're allowed to freely use the word queer to talk about yourself, your perspective and other queer folks, without restriction

you're allowed to talk about queer community

you're allowed to refer to queer literature, art, music, and history under the umbrella "queer"

you're allowed to call fictional characters queer

you're allowed to want people to refer to you as queer (yes, even cishets jfc)

There are things you wish for before big moments. I wish my friends were here. God. I wish my parents were different. I wish there was someone who got what was happening, and could just look at me and tell me we weren’t crazy. That we weren’t being stupid. Someone to say, “I’m proud of you. And I got your back. No matter what.”
