The Right Honorable Evil

I'm going for charming narcissism. As a young woman I’ve learned to always go for the eyes. No one expects the eyes. Creepy sex/p*rn blogs DO NOT INTERACT

looking out for you

part fifteen: the finale

“come outside.”

your mouth dropped as you scurried out of bed to peer out the window. down at the sidewalk below stood zuko, phone to his ear, looking up at you. you pulled your phone from your ear and hung up the call. you quickly slid on a sweatshirt and shoved your feet into a pair of slippers. you sped walked down a few flights of stairs of your university residence hall. as you reached the exit of glass doors, you saw zuko standing outside them. you pushed the doors open and breathed heavily as you finally stood in front of him.

“hi,” zuko greeted sheepishly, looking down at his shoes. you kicked one of his feet playfully, causing him to break into a smile and look up.

“what’re you doing here?” you questioned, crossing your arms.

“i-i wanted to see you,” he explained, shrugging. he nervously shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans and smiled thinly. “i missed you.”

“i missed you, too,” you replied quietly.

“i’m really sorry for ghosting you,” he whispered. “i just...panicked, i guess.” a silence fell for a moment.

“...was the kiss, like, horrible?” you asked.

“no!” zuko squeaked out. “it was nice!”

“do you wanna...go up to my dorm and talk?” you offered, giving his shoe nudge. his eyes widened, seemingly surprised you asked. he nodded eagerly, and you grabbed his wrist to lead him inside. a few minutes later, the two of you were safe in the privacy of your dorm. you lead him over to the bed, and sat on the edge.

“nice slippers,” he commented as he sat next to you, pointing to your frog slippers. you breathed out a laugh and thanked him, rubbing the back of your neck.

“so....” zuko started.

“so....” you repeated.

“i really like you-“ “i like you-“

the overlapping words spoken at the same time by you and zuko caused you both to freeze and clamp your lips shut. the two of you opened your mouths again to speak after a second passed.

“you like me?” “you like me?”

you both froze again. you went to talk again, but zuko suddenly leaned forward, crushing his lips against yours. you stiffened, and looked at his face that was pressed to yours, his eyes closed. after a moment, the shock oozed from your body, and your eyelids slid shut. you melted into the kiss, moving your arms to warm around his neck while his snaked around your waist, pulling you closer. zuko gently pushed you downward, making you land on your back on the soft bed. a few moments of heated kissing passed, and he slowly pulled away. he gazed down at you and gently smiled before planting a soft peck to your forehead. you grinned and tugged him down to hug you, his face falling just above your shoulder.

“i’ve been wanting this for so long,” zuko whispered into your hair.

“me too,” you whispered back. you felt his arms move from your waist, his hands planting on the bed to push himself up. he stared down at you as you laid on the bed, and reached a hand down to hold your cheek. his thumb gently caressed your cheekbone before he leaned down to kiss you again.

“can i ask you something?” zuko asked as he pulled out of the kiss. you nodded a little too eagerly for your liking.

“would you...wanna be mine?”

the end <3

part two: otw to a funeral

you walked out of your front door, making your way to zuko’s car. as you neared it, you saw him lean over to the passenger side door and push it open for you.

“hey thanks, buddy,” you said, grinning as you got inside the car.

“no problem,” he replied, locking the car doors and speeding off.

“i’m so hungry, it’s not even funny,” you complained, looking over at your friend.

“i think it’s funny,” he teased. he poked your knee hard with his pointer finger.

“hey, be nice,” you tease back, poking him too. “you need to get out of your feels. let’s listen to something more upbeat. feels like we’re on our way to a funeral.”

you grabbed his phone and put in his password. you noticed his home screen was a selfie of you and him from a few weeks ago. you smiled gently.

“any requests?” you asked him.

“yeah, i liked what was on before,” zuko replied moodily.

“okay, like i said. feels like we’re on our way to a funeral,” you said.

“it’s gonna be your funeral if you don’t put my phone down,” he joked, sending you a half grin.

“i’m turning on early 2000s taylor swift,” you said, wanting to annoy him.

“jokes on you, y/n. i already have a throwback taylor swift playlist,” zuko said, sounding smug.

you checked, and he was in fact telling the truth. you cackled and pressed shuffle before setting the phone down.

“what’re you hungry for?” you questioned.

“not sure yet,” he replied. “what about you?”

“sushi.”

“that does sound good.”

“yeah it does, doesn’t it?”

“you’re annoying.”

“you love it.”

before he could respond, your phone started ringing. it was sokka.

“yes, sokka?” you asked, rolling your eyes at him to sokka.

“don’t roll your eyes at me!” sokka yelled. “i can tell when you do!”

“oh my lord, what do you need?”

you hear a muffled sound.

“it’s suki, sokka’s being annoying. just wanted to see how far you guys were.”

“oh, um…” you looked over to zuko, who held up two fingers. “two minutes!”

“mkay, see ya then, hun,” suki said before hanging up.

you and zuko pulled up a minute later. “gotta keep them on their toes,” he said. “element of surprise.”

“yeah a whole minute early. we’re gonna shock the hell outta them,” you said back, giggling.

the two of you exited the car and headed inside.

AtLA + Onion Headlines 4/? (1, 2, 3)

[ly0nstea]

Not here for this jet slander he was a menace for like 2 days and didnt even try to like be their friend afterwards he was just tryna vibe in BSS while zuko had the audacity to think he deserved a place in the gaang after everything he did

[majorannah]

Exactly! He just showed up like nothing’s wrong - even though the last time they saw him, he assisted in Aang’s murder, Katara was crying and holding Aang’s lifeless body and Zuko looked like he was about to wrestle it out of her hands; and he even doubled down with an assassin. Then he showed up and, not only did he not tell them about Ozai's “burn down the EK” plan, he didn’t even mention the war or the FatherLord once, but he used the word “friend” twice. (Lucky, the gaang acted inconsistently and didn’t flee, then they wouldn’t know about the genocide plan). The audacity. He needed the Avatar to literally die just so he could get to the point when he’d want to join Team Avatar, and he acts all friendly.

[perfectlypanda]

I get the point you’re making, but also like… Haru’s picture has the headline: “Man Pretty Sure He’s the First Guy to Come Up With Growing a Mustache”, which is obviously also not true. None of these are meant to be taken as serious character commentary.

If you want a slightly more in-depth look at my thought process for the Jet one, it was that the headline “Man Who Brought Immeasurable Amounts of Pain to Your Life Wants to be Friends Again” is a humorous (and hyperbolic) description of Katara’s reaction upon seeing Jet again:

In regards to your commentary on Zuko (”zuko had the audacity to think he deserved a place in the gaang after everything he did”, and “He just showed up like nothing’s wrong”), your assertions are just incorrect. In 3.12: “The Western Air Temple”, Zuko is shown to be very aware of the fact that the mistakes he has made mean that it will be hard for the Gaang to accept him:

Zuko: Hello … Zuko here, but I guess you probably already know me, sort of. Uhhh … so, the thing is I have a lot of firebending experience, and I’m considered to be pretty good at it. Well, you’ve seen me, you know, when I was attacking you. Uhhh … yeah, I guess I should apologize for that. But anyway, I’m good now. I mean, I thought I was good before, but I realize I was bad, but anyway, I think it’s time I joined your group and taught the Avatar firebending. Well, what’s your answer? [The badgerfrog hops on his head before hopping away.] Yeah … that’s what I’d say, too. How am I supposed to convince these people that I’m on their side?

After the badgerfrog that Zuko is pretending is the Gaang hops away, Zuko acknowledges that this fake rejection is what “[he’d] say too”. Zuko doesn’t show up “like nothing’s wrong” or that he believe he “deserve[s] a place in the gaang after everything he did”, he thinks that if he were in the Gaang’s position he would also be suspicious and probably reject his offer of help. 

Zuko pushes to join the Gaang not because he believes he “deserves” it or because he thinks they should immediately forgive him for his mistakes, but  because he knows that he has to atone for those mistakes, that he has to stop the Fire Nation’s plans for conquest, and that the Gaang is unlikely to have another good option for a firebending teacher. These ideas are reiterated multiple times later in the same episode. Additionally, the claim that “Then he showed up and, not only did he not tell them about Ozai’s “burn down the EK” plan, he didn’t even mention the war or the FatherLord once, but he used the word “friend” twice.”, is also incorrect:

Zuko: Listen, I know I didn’t explain myself very well yesterday, I’ve been through a lot in the last few years, and it’s been hard. But I’m realizing that I had to go through all those things to learn the truth. I thought I had lost my honor, and that somehow my father could return it to me. But I know now that no one can give you your honor. It’s something you earn for yourself, by choosing to do what’s right. All I want to do now is play my part in ending this war, and I know my destiny is to help you restore balance to the world.

In regards to not telling the Gaang about Ozai’s “burn down the EK” plan”, this is addressed within the show in episode 3.18:

Aang: Why didn’t you tell me about your dad’s crazy plan sooner?  Zuko: I didn’t think I had to. I assumed you were still going to fight him before the comet. No one told me you decided to wait.

Zuko didn’t say anything because if Aang was going to fight and defeat Ozai before the comet, then Ozai’s plan to burn down the EK would be irrelevant because he would never even have the opportunity.

Zuko does use the word “friend” in 3.12, but the context is important:

Zuko: [To Aang.] Why aren’t you saying anything? You once said you thought we could be friends. You know I have good in me

Zuko: If you won’t accept me as a friend, then maybe you’ll take me as a prisoner. [Zuko kneels down, bends his head, and raises his arms in surrender.]

The first is Zuko repeating Aang’s previous words back to him, because Zuko hopes to remind Aang that Aang once believed in Zuko’s ability to be a good person.

The second is Zuko showing that he is so sincere about helping the Gaang that if the group can’t trust or accept his help as an ally, he is willing to help as their prisoner instead.

As to the last claim: “He needed the Avatar to literally die just so he could get to the point when he’d want to join Team Avatar, and he acts all friendly.” Aang’s “death” does play a large role, but Zuko’s entire journey in the show is about him getting to the place where he realizes that his beliefs about the Fire Nation and the war are wrong, and that he needs to join the Avatar’s side to end the war. It was quite literally the culmination of three and a half seasons of character growth, and can’t simply be boiled down to a single moment.

“And he acts all friendly”. Well yeah. Acting friendly is a pretty basic first step to building any sort of neutral or positive relationship. 

[majorannah]

There are some stuff that are just willfully misunderstood here.

Like when I said “Then he showed up and, not only did he not tell them about Ozai’s “burn down the EK” plan, he didn’t even mention the war or the FatherLord once, but he used the word “friend” twice.”, I obviously meant, the first time he showed up. Before Katara told him to gtfo. Hence my remark about the gaang not acting consistently. Because if they had, they would’ve fled too - that was their dynamic so far: the gaang arrive a new location, Zuko catches up to them, they have a confrontation, the gaang flees (I mean, the first time I watched the ep, after Katara told him to gtfo, I thought the gaang would leave too; they clearly thought he was there to set some sort of trap (but they just had to act inconsistently, so Zuko could “redeem” himself)) - and they wouldn’t know about the genocide plan.

And that’s something he should’ve brought up right away, the Avatar should know about it even if they yeet him off the cliff. They should make plans. When he showed up in 3.12, he couldn’t have known that the Avatar was gonna fight Ozai before the comet or that they knew about the comet at all. Putting the blame on Aang is a bad move on his part. Sidenote: it’s interesting that, in the finale, instead of talking to Aang, or bringing up Ozai’s plan, he starts by attacking him to “teach him a lesson” (which sounds like something Ozai would say).

Also, when I said “and he acts all friendly”, I obviously didn’t mean he’s being polite or something. Rather, he’s acting like a “Man Who Brought Immeasurable Amounts of Pain to Your Life Wants to be Friends”.

Also, “He needed the Avatar to literally die just so he could get to the point when he’d want to join Team Avatar” is not boiling down to a single moment (maybe I could’ve omitted the word “just”, my bad), it’s pointing out that the thing was crucial; without that, the other stuff wouldn’t have happened. And I was obviously talking about the gaang’s perspective here. From their perspective, it’s icky that Zuko needed the Avatar to literally die to join Team Avatar. But, sadly, the show doesn’t take the gaang’s perspective seriously. And it’s even ickier that in that self-centered speech of his, he says that he’s been through a lot, but that had to happend to learn the truth; considering that Aang was the one who had to actually die for a few minutes just so Zuko could go home, get the full perspective of things and get his act together. It’s insulting to Aang, or it should be, if their feelings were taken seriously.

And yes, he did show up like nothing wrong. Even though the last time he saw them, he saw Aang die in front of his own eyes, which happened with his assistence, and Katara crying while she was holding his lifeless body - while he looked like he was gonna wrestle it out of her hands; and doubled down with an assassin - he didn’t consider that they might be traumatized and seeing him might be painful for them or having him around might be unhealthy for them, because it would keep opening up old wounds. (Because why would he, right? The show doesn’t want the audience to think that way either.) He was thinking about his first time at the Air Temple; when he was practicing his “Hello Zuko, here” speech, he was mostly talking about himself, he was only thinking of the gaang to the extent that they need to be convinced that he’s “good now”, and they would be suspicious. Not about the immeasurable amounts of pain he brought to their life and what impact it had on them.

Zuko repeating Aang’s previous words back to him is insulting. Or it should be, if Aang’s feelings were taken seriously. Aang showed him a kindness, and he kept on hurting him, and him repeating Aang’s words like that… people don’t like this sort of thing. Aang gave him a chance and he wouldn’t stop going after him till he literally died and needed to be resurrected. If Aang never died, Zuko would still be after him, so bringing up the “friend” stuff like that is insulting, or it would be, if Aang’s feelings and experiences were taken seriously.

And if he was sincere, he might have told them something useful, like Ozai’s plan, maybe, instead of emotionally manipulating them.

[perfectlypanda]

Given that many of the posts on your blog express similarly negative analyses of Zuko, it’s clear that you are set in your opinion about him. Subsequently, I’m going to disengage, because no amount of debate or analysis on my part is going to impact your interpretation of his characterization or the events in the show, and thus would just be a waste of time for both of us.

I’m going to be talking about this for the rest of my life. Because this? This is one of the defining pieces of culture from a time when life went from bad to worse. Everyone knows this sketch. Almost word for word. This four minute bit is carrying us through these times, and is probably the only piece of media to come directly from politics that is genuinely joyful.

You simply cannot talk about this era without mentioning the horse loose in a hospital. It defines the entire experience, and does it hilariously.

[facelessoldgargoyle]

These are amazing but they hurt my eyes. How do we feel about this:

[cipheramnesia]

I think we should just embrace pride flags with our fursonas or personal crests or something on them but the Welsh dragon ones would be easier on the eyes with a little less complexity to the dragon color layout, and a larger black border around the dragon.

[facelessoldgargoyle]

Damn, I want a personal crest 😔

[cipheramnesia]

If I designed that it would have sharp teeth in the middle, with the polyamorous symbol formed by cats but that’s about where my knowledge ends.

[facelessoldgargoyle]

How do you represent “devastatingly hot” and “unfortunately verbose” in crest symbolism

[cipheramnesia]

I add a set of beautiful lips around the aforementioned teeth and job done.

guys when they think a girl is hot: she is objectively attractive

girls when they think a guy is hot: yeah hes hot but only if you think of a german coal mine from 1882 that hes forced to work in to provide for his family of 12. he gives off that vibe
