My Sister Asked For Art Of Them And I Thought They Both Could Use A Hug

The fact that Sozin was born the same day as Roku when everyone in that world knew the next avatar after Kyoshi was going to be born in the fire nation makes me a bit suspicious that the royal family may have induced labor for his birth when they learned Kyoshi was close to death.

Basically, I think that the Fire Nation’s royal family was attempting to deliberately have a Fire Lord Avatar.

And the scary part is how close they got.

drew some fanart from one of my favorite jetko AUs: boarding school! jet and zuko are sneaking some alone time on the school roof after closing hours

Today’s interest: Firelord Zuko Headcannons

(With servants)

There’s only like half the staff that the palace should have because Ozai and Azusa fired/killed/mutilated/scared off/etc. the rest

So they’re all trying their hardest to do their jobs and their terrified of messing up in case he’s just like the rest of his family

They know he’s friends with the Avatar but you can never really be sure

At first they all stay out of his way

Then, a group of younger maids see Zuko and Aang feeding the turtle-ducks

Aang pushes Zuko into the pond and the maids are sure he’s going to set the boy on fire

But instead he just laughs and checks to made sure none of the turtle-ducks are hurt

A few days later, the cook walks into the meal hall to see how everyone’s meal is going

Instead he sees the Firelord in a heated debate about theatre with Suki while Aang, Katara, Toph and Sokka are in the middle of a food-fight

The cook makes the mistake of squeaking indignantly at the sight of his hard work all over thirteen year-old faces

When Zuko notices him he quiets the other teenagers down and apologises for the mess, the others quickly following his lead

Over time, the sergeants come to realise that the new Firelord is just a regular child

An eccentric child who owns a third of the entire world, but a child

By the time Zuko turns seventeen, the entire staff has warmed to him, even the new employees who had heard rumours about what Zuko’s predecessers did

He’s genuinely kind to them and interested in their lives in a way that they’d never experienced before, especially not from a noble

Eventually it became normal for Zuko to be found in the kitchen teaching servants how to make good quality tea

Zuko also offered hugs to them

Many of them had lost people to the war, and at first he did it as a way to comfort them

He was stiff and had obviously never done it before but the servants loved that he cared about them enough to step out of his comfort zone

He was also warm and very comfortable once he relaxed

The younger, bolder servants took advantage of this by hugging him whenever they could

At first it was when Zuko was alone, then one servant accidentally hugged him when he was in front of the Gaang

Sokka and Toph thought it was hilarious

Katara and Aang joined the hug

Suki comforted the servant after she freaked out and started crying

When Zuko adopted Druk, the entire staff helped raise him

[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

that’s it. that’s their relationship

I saw this tumblr post and HAD to draw it, please accept my humble A:TLA offering.

Bow before Chieftess Yue and her consort Chief-King Zuko.

Zukos rank is directly below Yue, which was decided by them. Arnook and the council didn't like the idea, since that goes against their culture, but Zuko was raised in a society where gender doesn't determine role. He loves his wonderful, intelligent, determined wife. She's a great leader and Zuko is a good support.

i saw a comment on this post saying zuko should have a youtube and i don’t have self restraint lmao

just give me a straight answer, old man!!

this was funnier in my head 😭
