doomed brothers

+ bonus:

I know I've literally got another au in the works already but i don't care man I love mythology and now they're gods >:)))))

Some info!

Katara and Sokka's face markings are based on the Painted Lady and Warrior makeup (respectively)-- on top of giving Sokka some winged eyeliner to resemble a wolf's markings (as the master of wolves), and a semi-circle on Katara's forehead as a symbol of equality (as the goddess of justice).

Gods don't technically "die" in this AU-- it doesn't happen often, but when it does, they usually become one with their domain. When Gyatso died, as the god of the wind, he turned into the wind and could only communicate through wind chimes (small signs/yes/no-- he can't communicate complex thoughts).

When Kya died, she turned into the starry sky. Hakoda, grieving his wife, would often study her form in the sky and learned to use the patterns of her stars to navigate, which made him become god of navigators.

When Kya died, people started praying to Sokka and Katara for matters of family and home-- it's not actually their domain, but they gratefully accept the duties that come with taking over for their mother.

Katara's necklace has sharp points in this to relate to her mother's star domain.

Katara's cloak is a sealskin (as the matron of sealife)

Yes, Sokka's leg is still hurt in this (still trying to figure out the story behind that, but I love when characters get permanent injuries in media and I'm KEEPING IT) he has a cane-- doesn't always need to use it but he has it!

Sokka's cloak is a polar bear dog's hide (as the god of hunting)

Aang >:)

Info! Had a LOT of fun combining Air Nomad outfit elements with a more typical "travel" outfit. Super warm colour palettes of course! Aang is the god of balance, travelers, and hospitality. He's a bit of a free spirit and a lot of the more serious gods find him a bit annoying (Sokka.) People often pray to Aang when they have to go on long journeys, or invoke his name when they need to stop to rest. It's a well-known fact that the god of travelers has a habit of wandering around incognito-- he just does it because he likes interacting with people without being recognized. In doing so, however, he accidentally started to enforce his hospitality domain, as mortals became terrified of accidentally offending him if he were to show up at their door. He loves to follow Sokka around on hunts (he gets to explore dangerous areas)-- Sokka hates when Aang follows him because he almost always ends up losing his catch. Katara and Aang's Justice and Balance domains mean that they often are called upon together by mortals. Katara, to enact a fitting punishment upon perpetrators. And Aang, to provide reparations to victims. It's found to be very fitting that they ended up becoming a couple.

dunks journal (pt1 maybe ? idk)

my last post inspired me to hand draw some fanart lowkey….

some context/my own personal headcanon: dunk is shit at writing but is secretly goated at drawing (it comes from repainting ser arlan’s shield throughout his childhood). Egg is teaching him to learn how to write during their downtime so he keeps this journal to practice

but he just draws aerion instead tho cause he’s in lurv. is he drawing from life ? who knows?

dunks journal pt2

dunkaerion takes a detour to the red keep where the two get down to all sorts of debauchery (aerions influence)

am I possibly turning this into an au and are the doodles foreshadowing? maybe idk tune in next time to see what happens also sorry no egg doodle but maybe the next drawing will be a page from eggs journal idk

dunks journal pt3

at some point the trio go to lys cause why not. Dunk learns he hates sailing, Egg gets sunburnt, and Aerion gets drunk on lyseni wine.

on the road to the north! dunks getting more comfortable writing his thoughts down albeit with some typos. egg looks like a cutie patootie in his fur coat. aerion hates the cold but also gets to share a bed for survival purposes.

this is gonna be a two parter cause I like drawing wintery scenes

lys

next page:

dunks journal pt5

so umm maybe they are headed to the wall...

they're trip to the north has been fairly tame besides fighting the cold. all the clout counts for dunk have been from aerion. eggs totally enjoying the snow look at him looking at the snow fall he's such a cutie patootie id die for him. also is that a stag in the corner ? idkkkk

(wishing I could draw dunk but this is his journal so it really wouldn't make any sense to draw himself unfortunately.)

If ur not on twit, ive been remastering this series so this one technically happens before the first north chapter and also the lys spread and kings landing spread gets flipped.
