found some pics from my IG posts (i ran a maiko fan account on IG a long time ago). thought you might wanna see it
im crying i need more of this
[barges into ur inbox looking harried with blood on my face] i’m dying and the only way to save me is by talking about ur self indulgent zuko time travel bs
[i cradle you gently in my arms] no... stay with me.... [places this into your chest]
i think the dynamics would be so funny between these 3 in particular with 16 y/o zuko being pitiful and emo, 19 y/o or post-comic zuko being more silly and getting into his groove and looking up to his older self a Lot, and 28 y/o zuko acting all cool and stoic to try and impress his younger selves when in reality he tripped over his robes the other day and fell into the turtleduck pond
idk what au this is but i love kyoshi warrior zuko
Here I am, pushing the Jian Li (Akai Kotou! Zuko) = Jinshi (The Apothecary Diaries) agenda.
This is exactly how “Nightmares and Daydreams” would have gone down if Zuko had joined the Gaang earlier
Existential crisis buddies for life
I find it so funny that Zutaras, for generations, wrote entire think pieces about how Mai is:
1. Too Apolitical and apathetic to be a Firelady
2. Completely selfish and always acting in her own best interest
3. Would only hinder Zuko’s progress as a Firelord
All in attempt to diminish her character and try and prove Katara of all people would be a better Firelady.
Now we have CANON to confirm that Mai is fearless and a staunch advocate for undoing years of fire nation propaganda. And that she’s willing to drop everything to help Zuko in a noble cause - including teaching a new generation of kids the truth about the hundred year war.
Suck. On. That.
