here's a thing
Sokka: I told my sister you have a crush on her.
Fire Lord Zuko: Guards!!
Lol I have a baby zuko au in the works where he angers a spirit who says if he acts like a child so he should be one and the crew thinks hes gonna be a brat but hes really sweet and kind until he accidentally breaks something and cries begging not to be hit and the crew and iroh are ready to commit treason for this baby
Lieutenant jee becames papa jee and basically adopts zuko lol
Baby Zuko AU’s are honestly amazing because whether or not he has memories of being a teen changes the whole ass dynamic he has. Because actual baby Zuko is the absolute epitome of a well-behaved child who would do anything to make sure people are happy, but teenage Zuko in a child body is the one who’s like “I can trick them- wait they’re nice and don’t know... I’ll enjoy this a bit longer” and then never actually does shit because he’s getting positive attention from people.
Also, the crew finding out how bad Zuko had it as a kid because of his reactions to breaking something (likely inconsequential) is absolutely perfect.
Also, Jee gets a kid and the rest of the crew is just like, “This is fine.”
Camp Camp au where everything’s the same but every time Preston gets scared/frightened he jumps into Max’s arms
Happy tlou hbo day :-)
Shinsou's cat, on a tree: Me-ow.
Shinsou: Maybe we should throw something at him.
Monoma: Good idea.
Monoma: Midoriya, toss some of your trophies at him.
Monoma: Oh, sorry. Trophy. Just one.
Midoriya: Why don't you toss yours, Monoma?
Monoma: >:(
Midoriya, condescendingly: Oh, that's right.
If you're still taking TOH requests, would you draw Darius, maybe bonding with either Hunter or Eber? He's one of my absolute favorite characters too!
I NEED MORE DARIUS!!!! I get the feeling we might've gotten more of his backstory had we not been robbed of season 3.... Like, why he and Amity's dad fell out of friendship, his relationship with the old golden guard. There's so much mystery left to explore!!!!! TAT!!
And with those kind of themes being played out on the kid main characters too, I could totally see an episode meant to happen where the show deals with an adult having to come to terms with old burned bridges.
Like how Willow and Amity became friends again. But imagine it between adults, y'know? That has held these feelings for so much longer. The drama. It is so... juicy!!!!
AND HIS "I TOTALLY DONT CARE" ATTITUDE BUT HE TOTALLY SO DOES CARE!!!
Adult characters that is like "lmao I hate everyone and these children annoy me" and then wind up being their designated best parent is... ... one of my fave tropes...
I am.. weak... for this character type.
I love him. TTATT!!! Dariiuusss!!!!
Alternative turn on all the Arranged Marriage AUs: Katara is the firelord. Since she defeated Azula, by all the laws, she's legitly the firelord.
Fire sages: *come to help unconscious Zuko*
Katara: Good, he won, he's now the firelord
Fire sages: no you won you're the firelord
Katara: what
And since she doesn't want to be firelord (yet, it's Katara, give her some time and she'll feel super confortable with power) she arranges a marriage with Zuko so he keeps the power as it should have happened.
Zuko: *regains consciousness * Uh
Katara: *wearing a royal topknot and red robes* So, some things might have happened...
Extra points if it happens so fast he's still unconscious
Zuko: you're the firelord
Katara: yup
Zuko: and you married us
Katara: it was necessary, yes.
Zuko: without asking me first?!
Katara: do you want a divorce?
Zuko: No! No, i just-
Katara: Good. Now be a good firelady and help me with the external policies
Daaron stans stand up 💀
First Jetkotara fanart ever and I'm really proud of it 💕
[ID: Looking at the image from left to right: Jet, Zuko and Katara are on a couch relaxing together. Zuko and Jet are sitting close, looking at a copy of Love Amongst the Dragons that Zuko is reading aloud. Katara is lying down looking up at Zuko, with her head on his legs. All of them are wearing a pair of dark trousers in different shades (burgundy, dark brown, dark purple) and a shirt. Katara and Zuko have long untied hair. Jet has his left arm around Zuko's shoulder, his hand on top of Katara's, that is holding Zuko's hand. End ID]
New Zutara fanfic trope: Zuko is so worried about how deeply Katara sleeps that he starts constantly preparing for the worst.
- He stays up/wakes up a lot in the night to check on her and/or their surroundings.
- If there's Only One Bed? Zuko insists he'll sleep on the floor between her and the door. Katara thinks he's offering her privacy but in reality Zuko is just terrified that Katara will sleep through an ambush/robbery and he needs to be ready to defend her 🤣
- Katara is staying/going somewhere alone overnight? Zuko panics and insists on providing her a guard. (Bonus points if the guard falls asleep too and Zuko loses his shit at the guard, and then guards her himself 🤣)
- Zuko (trying to be) super quiet - maybe something has made him upset and he is crying softly to himself. Katara wakes up from the other side of the room and asks him what's wrong. Zuko is torn between feeling touched and feeling flabbergasted - "What do you mean you heard me?? Where was this "hearing" of yours when Azula exploded the temple you were sleeping in!??!?!"
Bla bla bla, you get the gist. Go on grab some tropes don't be shy, it's free real estate let's gooo
