#overtea

Day 3 of the mini bang, something interesting by overtea with art by sunnydaydrawings and nakatachis is out. Check it out and give them some love!

Extra information

hey thanks!!

so, the pitt is typically a show for the aromantic in me! most of the ships that i don't mind romantically or even like romantically, i also like platonically and i certainly don't want any more romance in the show itself.

but. prior to s2, heather & robby were my one exception to this rule. their specific dynamic, how it's set up in canon is so, SO good for me. i love all the different facets of their relationship. they have SO MUCH to them, i miss heather so fucking much, god...

the way heather was actually amused by robby's antics (the SMILE) at crucial points. the way he genuinely tried to support her. the way she had that special spot where she was able to tell him exactly what she thought. the difference in their philosophy of treatment.

and then of course: the ambulance scene. hnnnnnnnnnnn. the many layers of that interaction alone are... wow. i am so so sad that we'll never see heather again, that we didn't get any of what could have been developed out of that.

oh my goshh i have some headcanons! 

- zuko can be a grump and mai is very stone-faced, and they can both get a bit preoccupied by the negatives in life.. but when the two of them are around each other, they find themselves smiling more often! their pressures and stresses melt away much easier<3

- mai takes no shit, and she still doesnt as fire lady. she is stern and level-headed, balancing zuko’s fiery dedication and clear emotional investment in running the country. the entire nation is now a reflection of themselves and their administration, so they both take their rule very seriously. they work closely together when handling state affairs. whatever zuko lacks in political knowledge thanks to his banishment, mai makes up for (her father was a governor, so she was sure to pick up on some stuff), and whatever mai lacks in perspective, like in foreign affairs, zuko makes up for (since he’s the one whos traveled the world and interacted with people from all nations!) theyre totally a team!!

- mai likes the idea of traveling. its interesting and new-- traveling would definitely keep her from being bored. whenever she can, she accompanies zuko or other diplomats on their trips to boost relations or come to agreements with other nations. if she cant travel, then she settles for zuko’s stories about his wild adventures during banishment. they make whole days out of it, and zuko has her full attention. (”you were the blue spirit? tell me everything.”)

- mai shocks zuko with how quickly she learns how to use his dual blades. its no big deal, she insists, but zuko is huffy because when he tries throwing knives like her, he never gets it right (poor zuko, needing to put in the extra work to get something down-pat, as usual). mai is a patient tutor.

- sometimes, if things aren’t too hectic in the mornings, they help each other prepare for the day. zuko brushes her hair till its smooth, mai helps him into his robes (just like she did during the finale!) and sets his crown on his head. they share either a comfortable silence or quiet conversation about the agenda for that day.

- i read somewhere in the comics that zuko was “reintroducing classic fire nation culture to his people.” (i think it was in the promise). cue zuko trying to incorporate old fire nation slang into his vocabulary and mai finding great amusement in it. (”good morning, fire lord zuko.” “good morning.. [looking at scribbled writing on his palm] ....’hotman.’”)

-  with that being said, as the general fire public rediscovers the wonders of dancing (i like to think the influence of a whole graduated class of dance-crazy students, inspired by a kid from the colonies and his killer cave party, are prominent figures in the cultural revitalization), mai and zuko also discover that they are bad at dancing. ty lee is a natural at it, and secretly, they are envious.(though she would totally try and teach them how to dance if they just asked!!)

that’s all for now!! i wrote way too much omgg

hope you like my headcanons!! though, im pretty sure everyone has thought up something similar to these. its like theres a shared maiko psyche

here’s mai and zuko trying to dance HAHAHA

If you want to think about something that gives you joy, some Abbott Elementary questions for you: How have you liked s5? Your favorite character dynamics? One you think should get more scenes?

hoping for some good finale scenes for Baran and Victoria by the way 🫡

hey! this is soso nice!! did treat myself with some ice cream today so <3

i really like s5! i think barbara howard remains one of The comedy characters ever, i loved the mall arc and i think everyone's been really good comedically!!

my favorite abbott dynamic is without question the after school crew (gregory & jacob & janine)!! i'm unreasonably invested in their friendship lmao. but you also simply can't go wrong with barbara and melissa!

as for a dynamic i wanna see more of: i love love love barbara and gregory storylines and i feel like they don't come around that often! ALSO! gregory and melissa are really funny to me and i think melissa and ava should get more shenanigans!!

Slowly but surely, getting things knocked out over here. Hoping to get a couple more replies or a few things this evening done. If not, this week onward I’ll be keeping much more regular appearances. After all, the best way to knock the rust off is to get moving right? 

No one has a stick of butter on them by chance, do they? 

Order of replies today-onward between other things will run as follows;
