Iroh Knew That Zuko Was The Blue Spirit Because One Day When They Were In The Earth Kingdom He Saw The

Artist Zuko really is one of the best things in the world!!😍

HE IS!! I love the idea of it being therapeutic for him (hence his characterization in All the Lights are Shining). I also love the idea of him just being super casual about it. I headcanon that it was something he had to learn as part of his formal education like all of the other noble kids, but he just became exceptional at it. His mother encouraged him (of course) and Iroh continued to do so once Zuko was in his care. So Zuko is just like, “Yeah. This is a skill I was required to learn, but it’s also one of my favorite hobbies and it helps me work through all of my emotions and trauma. And I guess I’m kind of decent at it?”

Also, when the Gaang finds out he can draw, Suki and Toph mercilessly tease Sokka about how much better an artist Zuko is than him. And Katara and Aang want Zuko to teach them how to draw. They keep asking him and he finally relents. It turns out Aang is pretty decent, but Katara is just as bad as Sokka. Zuko is just perplexed by that because Katara excels at so many things, so how is she so bad at this?

(I just have a lot of ideas surrounding artist!Zuko. 🥰)

here's a thing

Pirate Zuko

Alright so Zuko doesn’t go running from his ship once he wakes up, but he also doesn’t buy anything he’s being told anymore. So he turns to his crew, explains what’s going on and essentially goes, “So I’m gonna be a pirate now. I’ll fill out all the paperwork for you to be dismissed from the navy and get you guys as close to home as I can.”

Iroh’s shocked, but doesn’t say anything about it and that night the rest of the crew have a big discussion. They all come to the same conclusion and wait for the opportune time.

By the time Zuko’s filled out and sent off the proper paperwork relieving them of duty he’s also cut his hair short. So then he’s about to take the ship as close to the nearest colony as he can to let them go home they all just go… no.

Zuko: What do you mean no?!

Jee: We mean no, you can’t get rid of us.

Zuko: I’m your prince, go!

Jee: Technically you just went and threw your title away after discharging us. We’re civilians of the Fire Nation and you’ve got no title. You can’t make us leave.

Zuko, fuming and nearing screaming: What do you want?!

Jee: Oh, we’re staying. You want to be a pirate? You need a crew. You’re not a prince now, you’re the captain.

Imagine a thirteen year old in charge of a ship full of ex-navy officers turned pirates. Except he’s dangerous as well and no one knows how to deal with him.

And when Aang wakes up? Ooooh boy.

IM ALIVE!!!! >:D

Haven’t been posting for 3 weeks I’m really sorry, school’s been really busy and finals are coming up :,)

There’s still some prompts from @zutaramonth I haven’t finished so keep working on them in the future, but for now i’ll be doing smaller posts like this

I did mention a while ago that I may start a short series , this is one of the scenes that spawned in my Bren.

Smol description of the scene: (Set in post 100 year war, Azula redemption and Ursa reunion) Handling multiple  assassination attempts and stress of being a Firelord, Zuko gets hardened and slightly unhinged. One time during a peace meeting with the gaang, Iroh, Kuei, Hakoda etc. New Ozai society+ Ozai launched a coup, Zuko got hit once, proceeds to go berserk, and turns out to be really good at lightning bending.

“Look at me Ozai! the failed product! The sentimental weakling! I may be a descendant of Roku, but never forget that I AM YOUR SON!”

while forming this image I listened to a list of songs :)

This is the beginnings of a Zue au where Zuko is banished to the North Pole/used as a pawn to keep the water savages under the Fire Nation thumb. If their prince marries Yue, he becomes the chief consort, so it's like the Fire Nation took over without having to actually do anything.

At first they are distrustful, since they've both been raised with stories of the other nation being evil. But Zuko is such a sweety and Yue is smart, they figure out that they are actually destined to be bffs!

Also, the person giving Zuko away here isn't Ozai. It's some diplomat.

Princess with an empathic link to her sworn protector but she has severe anxiety so her door keeps getting thrown open and someone in full armor runs in yelling I'LL PROTECT YOU MY LADY, WHERE'S THE DANGER? and she's just got outlook open and there's two (2) emails she needs to reply to

I was just reading For Hearth and Home by Haicrecendo on a03 and I was thinking how amazing it would be for Firelord Zuko to offer a daycare within the palace so parents don’t have to worry about their young children and can pick them up after work. I just love Our Firelord.

I love this so much

Zuko likes to check in on them (re: procrastinate from paperwork) and inevitably ends up on the ground getting used as a jungle-gym

The kids aren't really young enough to remember Ozai, and the idea of a monarch is nebulous and far-off. To them, Zuko is just Some Guy in pretty robes and with a shiny headpiece, who they can easily bully into getting them more snacks and letting them go hang out in the royal gardens and see the turtle-ducks

The new staff are horrified. Everyone else just laughs and continues going about their business. Another day, another toddler drawing on their Fire Lord's face while he naps on the floor.
