Concept: Fire-sibs with Congenital Prosopagnosia. They’re face-blind.
Azula is fine. She chose 2 friends with extremely distinctive voices & body-language and decided that was enough. Recognizing anyone else is beneath her station as a princess. If they were important they’d wear a crown.
Zuko on the other hand has been on this ship for 3 years and he’s concerned that if he doesn’t capture the Avatar soon, this group of middle-aged men might begin to suspect can’t tell them apart.
Literally any disguise will fool Zuko. Cover Aang’s tattoos and he can’t pick him out of a lineup. Fortunately water-tribe teens are rare outside of the poles, and Aang has a habit of declaring himself the Avatar so he stands a chance as long as they don’t catch on…
Bonus: Ty Lee’s sisters don’t even look that much like her. It’s just a standard familial resemblance. But Zuko and Azula both made the mistake several times as children and have complained about how hard it is to tell them all apart, and nobody bothered to correct them (because royalty) so Ty Lee believed them.
Cyber im begging you please release the unfinished monodeku sketches
apparently I did more Monoma than I thought
[ID: A drawing of Season 1 Zuko with the label "Prince Does His Work Lying On Bed Like Schoolgirl" where he does as titled. He's laying on his front on his bed, sticking his tongue out while drawing Aang in his notebook. End ID]
so the live action huh
Eda: Listen, kid…
Luz: Oh, you can call me Luz
Eda: I’d rather not. If I named you I’d get attached.
Katara: I’m getting worried about how many nightmares you’ve been having.
Zuko: It’s okay. My nightmares are usually about losing you, but I’m okay once I realize you’re here.
ZUTARA AGAIN! :D!
It's been a while I didn't share something here on tumblr so... Hi hi!
I forgot about zutara week and when I remembered I was sketching this and realized it didn't match with any day theme. q_q
So here it is! A day later, a momtara and dadko argument with poor Sokka in the middle! LOL
If someone it's interested, here is my art process:
since art reqs are open and a quick search showed nothing, would you like to draw how you imagine Lu Ten to have looked like when he wasn’t in uniform? Totally cool if not!
it‘d be nice if he finally marched back home
context : he’s sitting in his room in nightgown, drinking tea and lending Zuko’s theatre scrolls to read. Maybe they found him somewhere in earth kingdom after the war. Perhaps he fought as a small group of resistance, hence bandages wrapped around his torso and some scars. I gave him slight spiky hair.
after going back to the palace, he continued to aid his cousin as a somewhat non official advisor, he’s still in-line for the throne (In case sth happens) then ofc he can go chill with Iroh whenever he wants.
taking from his father, he’s probably a lady’s guy (he gave me the impression of that????:D)
click for better quality
Brainwashed Jetko au where both Jet and Zuko get taken by the Dai Li and are displaced in the big city.
Jet and Li find each other anyways.
(That luck however did not extend to their family and friends)
Its all good...then it catches up to them :D
Zutara Week 2022 Day 6: Closeness
Katara doesn't like losing to Sokka, now she needs some reinforcement.

Woops! Don't worry, Katara. Get some little payback >:3

This will be my last entry for the zk week. Thank you everyone! 😊 I'm so glad to celebrate the event with you guys! And thank you for Zutara Week mod for organizing this event, for 15 years this ship is staying strong 💜
My entries look mostly a bit rushed on the lineart and bg haha, it had been a bit of a juggle between irl stuff 😅 but I wouldn't miss celebrating this ship. Happy 15th Zutara Week, everyone! 💜
there’s a little detail that i didn’t notice about “the blue spirit” when i first watched it. when zuko returns to his ship after his misadventures at ponhuai, avatar-less and honorless and still puzzling over aang’s speech and having made an enemy of zhao and probably severely concussed, iroh is there on deck.
music night happened the previous night. and yet it’s morning when zuko returns, and iroh is still playing the tsungi horn on deck.
iroh waited up all night for zuko to come back.
it’s such a small detail, but speaks volumes about their relationship. iroh not only allows zuko to sneak out in order to free the avatar in order to preserve his chance at regaining his honor, iroh actually subtly encorages zuko to free aang from ponhuai, even though he clearly knows that there’s every possibilty that zuko will be caught by zhao and iroh will not be able to save him.
as the guardian of a teenager, iroh’s influence over zuko is limited. iroh must allow zuko the freedom to chase after the destiny he thinks he wants, iroh cannot always protect zuko or keep him out of danger, iroh cannot even demonstrate affection to zuko in the way he would clearly like to because zuko is too hurt and guarded to be able to accept it from him -
- but iroh can wait up for him.
iroh can sit up all night, just to make sure that zuko gets home safely.
and it is such a striking element of their relationship, because I waited up all night for you becomes the unspoken love language by which they communicate caring and affection for each other.
iroh waits all night for zuko to return safely from ponhuai stronghold. iroh stays up while zuko sleeps on the ferry and waits up for zuko to return home from his date with jin. iroh sits up all night watching over zuko when he is sick and feverish.
and it’s not one-sided, because zuko waits up for iroh.
zuko waits up all night watching over an injured iroh after azula blasts him with blue fire. zuko sits up all night waiting for iroh to wake up when they reunite at the white lotus camp.
and this gesture becomes so important to zuko that it even becomes the way he demonstrates caring and concern for the members of the gaang. zuko waits up all night in appa’s saddle, knowing that sokka is planning a rescue mission. zuko waits up all night for katara to wake, knowing she needs to confront her own deeply-felt anger before she can understand and let go of it.
and this even is the gesture by which aang first demonstrates friendship to zuko. after zuko is knocked out by an arrow to his blue spirit mask, aang sits up with zuko for the rest of the night until zuko wakes up, just to make sure zuko is all right.
and the concept of sitting up all night for you is such a poignant contrast to zuko’s memory of his mother, who vanished out his life in the middle of the night, waking him up for a last goodbye.
it’s pretty clear that iroh sitting up all night with a sick child was far from an unusual occasion. i think it was probably really important for zuko to be shown, again and again and again, that he has someone who will be there when morning comes.
one parent left zuko in the night - but one parent will always wait up for him to come home.
Another Library!Zuko sketch dump + some Song ✨
