what is your primary feeling in longing? - for mai
fear
In longing, you feel fear. You're uncertain and wary of what your feelings may betray you to. You don't enjoy the feeling of not being in control of your own self, you ask, "why can't I just stop?" There's a cold feeling in your chest, your hands become clammy, you know you behold this desire too strongly, but the feeling goes nowhere. Rationally you think, "this desire is foolish and I don't need it," but that doesn't work for long. Secretly you yearn for that you seek, trying to hide it even from your own self, fearing that if you even let yourself know what you crave, nothing will be the same. Sometimes it's lonely. Sometimes you wish you could tell someone.... anything. You reference it vaguely in conversations, a joke that only makes sense to you, but is actually the longing veiled in fear. Your desire is forbidden, unattainable, by your own standards or someone else's, but it lurks in the back of your mind, persistent, deafening in the way that silence often is. Fear not my love, take a deep breath. You will find your peace.

and because i have no chill, i did akuma too-
frustration
In longing, you feel frustration. You feel that you've almost reached your desire one too many times and you don't understand why you keep getting denied. You feel the universe is taunting you, playing just beyond your reach and leaving you on the brink of breaking every time it dances away. When you let yourself feel your yearning, you bury your face in your hands and turn to look at the sky, not expecting an answer, but pleading for relief. There's a burn in your heart that you just can't explain in words but it's deep, you can feel it in your throat and just under your chest. You take a deep breath and exhale heavily. It settles you enough to continue on as you were. You see others living your desire and you don't feel jealous per se, but the burn raises in intensity and you just wish... something. You want change from your current situation, at this point, you don't really care what it is, just... something. Have courage my dear, you can brave the fires of this world if you so wish.

mayhaps a carrd...
ok so all of this has been done now, next: time to do relations on the carrd
maybe some brainstorming for a d.c verse for mai
@kakushiha ( mai ) continued from here.
ember eyes watch the other as she speaks and she can almost taste the venom in her words. fingers dig into the apple she had been eating, her nails easily pierce the skin and allow the trickle of juice to follow the length of her fingers. she focuses on what she can feel. what she can see. her instincts tell her to flee. to yell in mai's direction to forget any semblance of apology that was uttered from her lips but there's a small voice inside her that tells her to stay. this is what she's been working on for years. plant your feet, feel your feelings, breathe.
❛ i was a child, mai. ❜ she stays finally. placing the apple on the counter in front of her and wiping her hand on her pants dismissively. ❛ i know it doesn't excuse what i did to you or ty lee but... ❜ her brows knit as she tries to find the right words to convey what she's feeling. she's not sad but she does feel something stir in her gut that perhaps her modes of survival left some people burned in her wake that did not deserve it. they were all children, were they not ? she exhales softly, collecting herself before squaring her shoulders. ❛ my father was not someone i could disappoint and i know now that my need to survive lead to more casualties than even i was aware of. you and ty lee were some of those. ❜ her lips press into a thin line as her teeth bite at the inside of her cheek. she can feel the healed scar tissue from countless bites before break and her tongue tastes the blood quickly.
please forgive me. the words are on her tongue, in her mouth, but the words won't leave the confines of her mouth. she swallows the blood, a finger reaching up to carefully brush a loose tendril of hair that's escaped her bun before she stands straighter. ❛ i know you don't believe me but allow me the chance to show you i've changed. ❜
it was hard to come to terms with the ghost of her past, especially one that wasn't a peaceful spirit as it were. no azula was more akin to an onryō, a spirit so enveloped by the pain of it's past, it simply had to expel all that pain out into the world. she had stared down the onryō on a steel catwalk, flanked by soldiers on the day she had decided enough was enough. how was mai to believe that the woman haunting her wasn't here for revenge. when azula initially speaks, bile fills her mouth, a venom she wishes to spit back out before the onryō strikes.
but she holds herself back, rooting herself to the ground despite how her fingers yearn for the comfort of cold steel between her fingertips. she doesn't trust azula as far as she can throw her, and yet she listens. she wants to dismiss this as more manipulation, more pai sho manoeuvres yet when azula continues after that first sentence, the way she appears unsure, mai's stone façade falls. maybe she has changed. thin brows knit together inquisitively as if she's missing a piece of the puzzle. there's something more the former princess wants to say, mai can feel it, and yet mai simply exhales.
"you're right, i don't believe you." mai begins, a hint of venom coating her lips. "and part of me really wants to just walk away from this." she gestures vaguely to the space between them.
"but if zuko wants to vouch for whatever this is, then i'll trust him. so show me, show me how you've changed azula and spirits do not give me a reason to do what i should have done at the boiling rock."

“ you don’t have to deal with this alone. ” - from mai, @kakushiha
Toph was caught off guard with the advice given to her , her startle was not because she was not confident with her skills ( the earthbender had heard stories of how skillful mai is && she is very impressed ) , not because she didn't need her help ( she had learned that having another hand would make things easier ) but because she wasn't expecting it. The two of them had barely interacted , sure — there were / hi & hellos / that was shared whenever their friends hold a get together but that's all to it . Their relationship or the lack of it was evident . Toph wasn't the talkative or friendliest in the bunch && it seems it's the same case with the other. So Toph didn't put much effort to it but it seems it'll change. ❝ Sorry to burst your bubble , but I sure can. ❞ Toph stated bluntly with confidence , as she stood up from crouching on the ground the night is still young && toph volunteered to hunt down the location of rebels loyal to ozai that was plotting a coup on the upcoming first anniversary of friendship treaty between earthkingdom && fire nation held in yu dao. A choice she gladly took , since she would rather do something than listen to bunch of boring alliance , treaty && peace talks between the three factions. ❝ Though... If you are joining , to avoid those boring mumbo jumbos && meetings, then i'd let you tag along. Wouldn't hurt to bring a little help on the way .❞
since the end of the war mai had been working herself to the bone to help solidify zuko's rule, a form of atonement for her part in plucking at the threads of peace that held the world together. half of her work had included standing across from her father, watching a unremarkable man fall into delusions that he was far more important than he actually was.
so when it came to helping people that she had once had her blades trained upon, this was surprisingly more difficult than throwing away her family legacy. strange how that works.
"sure you can, but you do realise it is a stupid idea to go alone." mai deadpanned, arms folded over her chest as she studied the other woman. she had to admit, toph was a force of nature in of herself, as sturdy as the very ground she stood upon. mai didn't doubt that toph was indeed formidable, yet she knew the way desperate men were. cornered rats often were unpredictable, even for the formidable.
she rolled her eyes. "nice of you to let me tag along, i'm honoured. really."

❛ i always thought the plays were just a waste of time but that was actually enjoyable. ❜ ( from azuheir )
unprompted asks @azuheir
"the theatre is the best way to tell stories to a wide audience. stories that rouse the spirit, that teach us the past, give hope to the future." the governor explained calmly, finising the round of applause he gave to the troupe of actors.
it was the opening night for a relatively new play, one that the ember island players had worked hard on, it was a re-written classical fire nation play, the tale of the two dragons. it was originally written as a tragedy, one that admonished violence as a first response, of course under sozin the message had been warped. like all art it had become a warped tool of the state, another justification for the fury and the ruthlessness of the nation.
it wasn't surprising that the play may draw the attention of the former princess of the nation. akuma wasn't a fool he had gathered that she had snuck back onto the island. what surprised him was the fact she sat as if the weight of the world were seated upon her shoulders, as if she were the lion turtles of old.
"i never pegged someone like you for a thespian." he let the comment hang in the air before adding. "most travellers come for the more famous plays, not the obscure fables of old."

finally getting around to making a carrd for akuma and mai and yeah when you get to the backstory part i am sorry for the scrolling y'all gonna have to do-
rambling about mai and the education system of the fire nation, heavily based on the comic ashes of the academy
initially a lot of mai's years at the royal fire academy were deeply repressed. she only ever remembers an experience where she was made to make friends at the behest of her father, not out of actually liking anyone. she learnt quickly to make herself useful or make herself scarce, especially as a non bender.
as an adult on the path to unlearning a lot of the propaganda the fire nation instilled, she thinks about the academy a lot more. she thinks about the lessons she was taught, that she was lucky to live in the greatest nation on the planet. eventually, mai decides that she can't sit back and watch the future generation of the fire nation go through the same indoctrination or the same fears she had during the academy.
eventually zuko sends her to the academy as someone who can actually instil proper change, his eyes and ears as they were like shown in the comics, the divergence i have is that mai leaves the academy after a year of teaching, taking time to decide if this is what she really wants. after six months, she decides that not only does she want to reform the fire academy for girls, she wants to reform the academy for boys, the more rural schools and the overall education system. despite the true history being uncomfortable to grasp, being shameful especially following the war, if they didn't start teaching now, how would they ever learn to re-join the world around them as true equals
he frowns at her words and nods. he had been naive thinking that everyone in the fire nation would be eager to right the wrongs of his family without giving up something. he had been hopeful that the people that had remained in the palace would help push out his objectives without problems of their own. the multiple attempts on his life should've been his indication that his thinking was just that, hopeful.
but mai was on his side. mai had made changes even before the war to denounce his father, azula and for that, zuko was thankful. he turns to her slightly, looking her over before a thought occurred to him. ❛ what if you were headmistress ? i can't imagine they would say no to you. ❜ he had learned the hard way that going against mai in any aspect was especially hard and ill-advised. it was something he hoped, would push the curriculum in the right direction.
for a moment, mai was convinced she misheard zuko, surely he had to have been joking. hell since growing up and actually recognising how terrible the academy was, mai had hated that institution deeply. yet the way that zuko was looking at her made her concerned. concerned that zuko was making a stupid decision.
"spirits you're actually serious aren't you?" mai mumbled in disbelief. "do you really think i'm fit to teach a bunch of kids? especially fire academy kids?" the thought of her as a headmistress made the noble recoil, but not out of some delicate constituion like her peers would claim to get out of any form of work. mai didn't like kids, hell she barely tolerated her little brother.

it has occured to me i have never shown art i've made of akuma- so under the cut is a rough sketch on my tablet, (icl im still arguing with the design i want for this loser)
While Mai was probably the hardest person to read by far , Toph was still able to keep track of the others pulse . That was more than enough ; the walking lie detector . If there was even the smallest spike , the guard was going up . Paranoia ? Sure . Don't wanna admit that out loud the remnant of war were still ever present . She silently hoped that there will be a day where that goes away . 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 . 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 . She took in a breath ; there was a pause to think about it . Surely that shouldn't be too difficult . ❝ Contrary to popular belief , I know when to be reserve . Not every occasion needs fireworks . ❞ What , they think her a 𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐄 ? Toph had tact too !
But there was no time for that . The sound of Mai's footsteps called for her to follow . There was no telling how far out they were & with so many other pulsing walking around, it was hard to hone in on those that are familiar. Toph could pick up a friend was far out , but even her senses have limits . She stayed close to the other but not that close . & they walked . In dead silence . This was awkward to say the least but what was there to do ? Toph didn't know Mai & vice - versa . Coming up with stuff to ask & fill the dead air was not her strong suit . Toph , while loud & out there , could sit in silence for an uncomfortable amount of time . It was soothing to the soul in a way .
& if that were to be the case , then she was fine it with . The silence between then didn't last long though . Only a few strides & quite frankly , that was fine too . Might as well get to know her chauffeur after all . ❝ So ? ❞ Second thoughts ? Or was she to drive the conversation . Didn't have to think for too long . There was quirk of the brow at the question . Stick to what you know , I guess . She'll humor it . ❝ I don't think I've ever known Sparky to not be awkward actually . ❞ Arms were folded behind her head as if to support her neck . ❝ Well , when he first showed up , we didn't trust him for obvious reasons . His speech left alot to be desired but I could tell that he wasn't lying about his intent . It was like a dog with his tail inbetween his legs , real sorry sad sack . ❞
spirits, that was a little presumptive of her. mai cringed internally of course there were still some remnants of how she acted under azula buried deep underneath a good year or two of self discovery. and judging from the other woman, her comment perhaps hit a slight nerve. "i mean- obviously you can take the silent approach at least you're more versatile." maybe she should stop talking. fast.
mai chose silence after that, her lips pursed in a thin line as her fingers brushed her inner bracers, subtly checking for the wooden darts that sat snug under her sleeves. unlike benders like toph where ammunition was all around, mai had to ensure she had enough stilettos armed ready to go, enough blades to throw, they had to have an edge, to be sharp enough to actually do some damage. if she had nothing left, then she had to use her sai. she never liked using it until she was guaranteed to finish a fight.
she wondered what it would be like to not have to think about meticulously arming herself every morning, to simply bend the world to her whim. perhaps it was the one thing she envied the earth bender at her side for.
when the silence broke once more, mai chuckled, a low sound that her mother would have chastised her for. "he was always that awkward, even when we were kids." mai revealed all too eagerly. her brow raised at that little nickname. "sparky huh?" there was a subtle question in her tone.
