🌸 Belated Easter Mews 🐣

As you might imagine, I wanted to post this yesterday, but that didn’t happen for several reasons. 😅 I am, however, still the reigning Easter Egg Hunt Champion in our house!🏅

Still, whether you celebrate or not, I hope everyone had a Hoppy day full of Good Mews. 😉

Today’s Miku Module of the Day is:

ahhhhh thanks for the ask!

7. Who come up with cheesy pickup lines/puns?

Oh, Amaya, 100%. And, before Janai becomes conversationally competent in Katolian Sign Language, the cheesy pick-up lines are being interpreted by Kazi (awkward and flustered) or Gren (extremely entertained) or even Callum (both), and it takes all of Janai's warrior training to not show her embarrassment because there are witnesses, Amaya and why did she fall for someone who likes puns.

(It's better once she learns KSL, because then at least it's not being filtered through a third party, but also, two languages means twice the puns and Amaya gets even bolder about flirting with her in public)

13. Who's more of a cat/dog person?

Amaya likes dogs, Janai likes cats.

From this ask - thank you so much for sending!

Headcanon A:  realistic

A bit fanciful, but I think it has decent grounding: the drawings in the end credits are all drawings made by Callum - either during the show or afterwards, when he learns more about everyone else’s adventures.

Evidence: They’re all in the same style as the ones in his sketch book, and some of them even appear in the sketchbook.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Rayla is super into anime and Callum draws anime fanart for her.

Yes I’m borrowing from my real world high school AU but you know what, I’m gonna say show-verse also. Realism who.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

Harrow spent all of that time distancing himself from Callum so Callum would be able to grieve and mourn his “real” father properly, but Callum doesn’t even remember his birth father. Harrow’s the only father Callum has ever known.

Harrow and Callum’s entire relationship was basically familial mutual pining - each loving the other as a son/father but never taking that final step to admitting it because they thought it wasn’t their place.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

He’s half-Jewish! I know the show has never talked about religion, and if it did, the religions probably wouldn’t be a one-for-one parallel to any real-world religion but…

Look, I love this show for so many reasons, but one thing that irks me a bit is that they took the very Jewish hamantash cookie and completely culture-stripped it into “jelly tarts.” Anyway, you bet your socks I’m going to claim SOMEONE in the family that loves hamantaschen so much as Jewish in retaliation. I think either Sarai or Callum’s first father were Jewish, and Sarai went to a lot of Purim celebrations and got absolutely hooked.

(That could be an and/or, with Callum being Jewish on both sides, but I’m also half-Jewish and projecting)

Bonus Headcanon

(Because I’m not sure if “realistic” means “likely to become canon” or “canon-compliant” so this could be A or D)

Our boy is panace!

Dragons are ace culture, and he’s one of the main characters in a show called “The Dragon Prince.” It simply follows.

As for pan, well. See Headcanon A, and then remember that credit drawing of Aaravos doing the open shirted, wine glass, Leonardo di Caprio pose. Yeah.

(Post-Show Callum: “Yes, Aaravos was scary and evil BUT ALSO, consider.” *turns sketchbook around*

Rayla: *facepalms*

Ahhh, thank you! Just the pencil, you really are adventurous.

I'll give you an A:TLA one because of your icon: I have a WiP where Mai gets overwhelmed and leaves Zuko after Izumi is born, leaving 20-year-old Zuko to juggle single fatherhood and firelording, armed only with the knowledge that he doesn't want to do either the way his father did. Luckily, Iroh and the Gaang have got his back; they all descend on the palace en masse and refuse to leave until Zuko feels secure as a parent – and until his heart has healed from the falling apart of his marriage.

The fic does have an endgame ship for Zuko (specifically, Zuko/Sokka), but it's been important to me whenever I work on this fic to show that heartbreak doesn't just heal because you've started fallimg for someone new – it's messy, and non-linear, and it can hurt to even realize you have feelings for someone else. The Zukka in this also has deep roots in friendship, with Sokka's primary narrative role being to just... be there for Zuko (not in a doormat, ignoring his own stuff way, just in a this-story-is-Zuko-centric way and also Sokka isn't going to push romance into their relationship if Zuko's not ready for it, even after it becomes clear that there's something mutual going on). I'm genuinely really proud of what little I've written of their relationship in this one and it always gives me the Feels.

But the Zukka isn't the primary focus, though it is a big one – it's all part of the tapestry of Zuko's support system. His relationships with everyone in his life (both positive and negative) are explored, with the current WiP including sections concerning his relationships with Sokka, Toph, Mai, Azula, Ozai, Iroh, Suki, Aang, Katara, Ty Lee, and, of course, Izumi. There's also a lot of group-centric scenes, and I know I'm the author, but I'm allowed to warm my own heart, right?

That was more of a blurb than a fact, but I would love to talk further about any of these relationships, if anyone wants to know! Thank you so much for the ask!!
