Shinsou's Cat, On A Tree: Me-ow.

[ID: two owl house drawings based on memes. The first one shows Lilith in her season 2B design sketched over the big bang theory "love is in the air? Wrong! Gad leak" meme. She's staring at the viewer with one eyebrow raised and her glasses are opaque.

The second meme is a redraw of a king of the hill scene, split into two panels. The first panel shows Belos holding up a sack of coins with magic, saying "here's 300 snails to break up with hunter". The second panel shows willow in her s2B design pointing at him and saying "save that money for our wedding". End ID]

I did two things today, and that was really beef it while making a sandwich, and draw shitty owl house memes, and baby I'm all out of sandwiches to post (@toh-described)

Thoughts on the idea of Zuko eventually learning to lightning bend post-series because he finally got to the point of being able to fully accept and move past all the awful shit that he went through?

Okay so once more disclaimer, i love how in the show Zuko did not have to learn lightning bending but instead was able to face his father by knowing how to redirect it. Anyhow, I love this idea and it put this scene in my head: 

It was a nice evening, and that despite the fact there was a great thunderstorm coming over Ba Sing Se. Or maybe especially because of that, since it was the reason that Zuko, Aang, Katara, Sokka, Suki and Toph had interrupted their tour through the town to seek refuge in the Jasmin Dragon together. Seeing his nephew surrounded by his friends, so  relaxed and always with a small smile on his face, never failed to make him happy as well. Iroh watched them from the door frame to the kitchen from where he had juts gotten new tea. Sokka was now pretending to bend the lightning that struck outside from time to time by snapping his fingers.

“You know, that is not how you actually lightning bend, right?” Zuko interrupted his little performance. 

“Well, my deepest apologies you highness if I put dishonor on your high art of beding lighting.” Sokka dramatically took a deep bow. “Would you care to enlighten us on the matter?”

Iroh smiled. Of course Sokka would ask that. That boy seemed to be curious about everything, and never seemed to stop until he fully understood how something worked. He would make a great member of the white Lotus one day, he thought.

“Well, I never said I could it myself. Uncle once tried to teach me but it literally just blew up in face because of my inner turmoil back then” For a moment, Zuko seemed lost in the memory of back then, and a trace of the old pain returned into his his eyes. It quickly vanished, however, as Katara softly put her hand on his shoulder, and he continued speaking new enthusiasm. “But in theory, if you were to do it, you would first have to divide the positive and negative energy to create an imbalance.”

“Like so?” Sokka made a motion that looked like his was slow clapping.

“No, more like this.” Zuko made the required circular motion with his arms “And then you would have to let them collide.” 

At first, Iroh could not believe his eyes. But suddenly, there it was, with no shadow of doubt. A small lightning, flickering around his nephews hands and dipping his surprised face in purple light. He closed his eyes for a moment as he felt tears in them. Yet, he could not prevent one from running down his cheek when he heard Zuko call him, proud like a little kid that had produced his first flame: “Uncle, uncle look! I can lightning bend!”

Everyone makes headcanons about joel and ellie, so I'm gona give my hcs about tommy and ellie this time around...

I think joel and ellie's relationship is canonically clear. I mean, they're one of the most iconic duos out there, but you look at them and you know who's the adult and the child, who's in charge. And unilke that, I think ellie would be tommy's sidekick. One and half spies. He would call her his little partner in crime, and their bond would be so chaotic it would take a second for new people to realize thy're uncle and niece, because sometimes they give off big brother and little sister energy.

Another headcanon I have for them is tommy quietly firguring ellie's sexuality before joel. I mean, joel is not a bigot, but he's also just a clueless man when it comes to romance and that is such a funny detail lol but tommy? It's already a headcanon for everyone that tommy was a party monster in his teens and always has been this social puppy, so I believe that he has so many experiences with different people and friends that he can spot some social clues better than joel. So yeah, I can totally imagine that tommy would always quietly notice that ellie blushes a bit to hard around some girl in jackson, but keep quiet because is none of his business. Joel would tell something about thinking that ellie likes jesse, and tommy would just chuckle and think 'yeah maybe if jesse grow a pair of boobs'.

I feel like tommy is also tue type of person that messes with ellie a lot but doesn't really like when other people do it to the point of making her unconfortable. I mean, just because tommy is a golden retriever it doesn't mean he is a people pleaser: not when it comes to his family. So yeah, sometimes he will do something repeatedly around ellie to the point she will be whinning like "joooel make him stop or I will kick his fucking balls!!", but if someone who's not on their inner circle feels entitled enough to do that, he will politely tell then to stop bothering his niece.

I also feel like joel's love for ellie can sometimes blind him a bit, and that's when tommy's uncle behaviour comes to balance. I mean, ellie and her friends would be solded by jackson's adults for smoking weed inside jackson's curch, and when ellie tells joel that she's sorry and she will never do it again, geez - Joel would accept it and move on. Tommy on the other hand will wait for joel to leave and be like "now, your old man might think you're a little angel but I'm no fool, where did'ya hide the rest of it?".

OH, MY FUCKING GOD. I am so in love with these!

Zukka neighbors AU, enemies to lovers 100k+

while it's not the same story i got the idea from @kurisu-80's neighbors AU comic, which i definitely recommend checking out, i think about it a lot

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.

Fire Siblings Post War Headcanons

request by anon: Fire siblings post war headcannons? (This means disregarding the comics cause I don't like them nor the way they treat mental illness and Azula)

note: finally, my first official atla request is out! I loved this one sm, and I can't wait to ignore the comics and actually give Azula a chance and not mock and villianize mental illness, as we should! I also tried to make this as open to all ships as possible, just to be sure!

I have about 9 others either ready to go or in progress, coming up the next days and weeks, but I'm still accepting new ones, so if you're interested in that there's a link at the bottom on this post!

I really am the biggest supporter of Azula getting some much needed therapy

but I also think she's resist it at first?

her treatment starts far away from Caldera, the palace and Zuko

with healers and therapists and lots of mediation

Zuko probably ends up pushing off therapy for a solid while after becoming Fire Lord, being way to busy

Good old Ambassador Sokka and Uncle Iroh ends up literally kidnapping him and sending him to therapy when they're scared he'll just collapse

Zuko puts off requesting to see Azula for a good while

he's really unsure and nervous about it all, which is fair

but it's not just that, with therapy, time and experiencing what real love and a sense of family feels like, he feels a lot of hurt and sympathy for his baby sister

he starts getting nightmares about the aftermath of the last Agni Kai, and after a couple of weeks where it happens every night, he finally reaches out

he's surprised when he's told she'll she him whenever he's ready

this can be me just projecting how I act after trauma and big episodes, but I can see her not wanting to talk at first?

they're just in the same room, learning to just exist together again

Zuko has a lot to talk about, anyways

mundane things from the palace, stories about Sokka in the Fire Nation, about Iroh and his shop, little, simple things

after a while he starts talking about more serious topics, as he sees it clearly peaks her interest a little more

he tells her about his life as a refugee in Ba Sing Se, he swears she almost smiles when he tells her about the wonderfully awkward date with Jin, and he talks about the crew on his ship, and how terrible went when he tried to befriend the Gaang

the first time she says something again is when Zuko has had a little breakdown and chopped of his hair when he looked in the mirror and thought he started to look like Ozai

it's uneven and he has weird little bangs, but she just looks at him for a few seconds, and calmly states that the long hair wasn't working for him, anyways

Zuko tries so hard to stay chill, and he kinda manages, but he totally cries a little when he leaves her room

after that the visits starts becoming more of a conversation, and while they thread lightly, they're also feeling a new sense of... familiarity, maybe?

the first time Azula visits the palace goes surprisingly well

at this point, Zuko has spent a lot of time talking to Sokka about Azula and their rehabilitations, and Sokka is trying hard to be there for Zuko and make this as easy as possible

Azula finds him a little annoying at first, and on time she gets really annoyed and jokes that he can chill, she's not gonna try to kill Zuko again

Sokka s horrified, but Zuko actually laughs

the first time Zuko hears Azula laugh without it being out of someone else pain, and for the first time since the war ended, is at one of Katara's little jabs at Zuko

(that's just how she shows him she cares, it's the same kind of bickering she does with Sokka)

Azula actually barks out a real laugh and Katara forgets to be weary and actually grins at her

it's weird and awkward but also kinda really beautiful

Zuko and Azula starts having tea once a week, no matter how busy they are, and they keep that tradition even as they get older

I have some many aunt Azula headcanons, and I've kinda talked about them before, but I just need to add a few sorry

she totally feels super awkward when she first meets her as a baby

the first time she holds her she just looks at her and is like... holy shit... a whole tiny person... in my arms.... help..?

but it turns out Azula quite likes toddlers, esp when they get to that age where they can talk, but have yet to develop a filter

she's crazy protective of her, and Zuko kinda just appreciates it

but she also loves teaching Izumi ways to mess with Zuko, so much

whenever Zuko complains about it, he stops and realizes he kinds wouldn't want it any other way

the older they get, the more they both love gossip lmao

why, yes of course
