CHARACTER SOLIDIFYING. // ALWAYS ACCEPTING.
#O1 ; how does your character think of their father ? what do they hate and love about him ? what influence - literal or imagined - did the father have ?
‘ BE A MAN, son. ‘ throughout his childhood, the phrase ( or some near variation of it ) was one that danny heard DAILY ––––– whether in response to his son’s expressed grief over some loss or shed tearsbrought on by a scraped knee, danny’s father never acted as the caretaker of the household. because of thisguidance, responses to aforementioned situations dwindled from tears to grimaces to total internalizations ofwhat he was feeling and a shrug of the shoulders or a sigh. in spite of this, he could never HATE his dad ––though his counseling made him a bit more callous and unsympathetic than he would have been without it,he can accept ( moreso disregard, to be frank ) others’ values while prioritizing his own. when he befriendedthe t-birds, the insensitivity that he was taught by his father was replaced by regard for his own image and hiscomrades. something else to note : the gang’s shared rebellious attitude and crudeness combined with hisfather’s lack of expressed concern for his son’s activity led to danny going FURTHER THAN he would have if his father had done so much as ask where he was going or what he would be doing or what time he wouldbe back home ––––– danny is constantly PUSHING IT as far as he can to see WHEN or even IF he’ll everbe told to stop. as far as INFLUENCE, how danny treats sandy at the drive in is a prime example of how hisfather rubbed off on him –––– he isn’t willing to see why his actions upset HER. in fact, he almost blocks outher words entirely, focusing on the fact that he didn’t get what he wanted –––––– this mirrors the relationshipbetween his parents. WHICH LEADS US TO . . .
#O2 ; their mother ? how do they think of her ? what do they hate ? love ? what influence - literal or imagined - did the mother have ?
the zukos fit into the typical married couple stereotype of the ‘50s, unfortunately espousing a formof sexism in their son. danny’s mother’s personality heavily contrasts with that of his father ––––– in times ofstrife or sadness, SHE was the one to offer words of reassurance or a hug to her son, though such wordswere always softly spoken when the father figure was not present, almost as if there was some unverbalizedfear that kept her mind whirring. in his younger years, he was grateful for some sort of comfort when timescalled for it, but could not help but wonder WHY privacy was absolutely necessary for it to be given ; observing such a twisted dynamic made it all seem NORMAL, showed who’s opinions were to be valued andwho’s were SECONDARY ( fuck, i am CRINGING as i type this ). however, without his mother’s often-SILENT presence in his life, he would have never realized the error of his own ways and sought out to righthis wrongs with sandy.
just gotta ice it and move on.
“Kill me or NOT – I don’t want one tonight. I’m just NOT in the mood, Zuko.”
❛ sure ––––– no one is ‘til they’ve had a couple. ❜ concept of personal BOUNDARIES are unbeknownst to him, one corner of lips lifting to form ludic smirk. ❛ . . . alright, alright, you can quit shootin’ daggers ; who went ‘n RATTLED YOUR CAGE, anyway ? ❜

REAL GONE. a quick random, sappy thing as i work on icons ––––––– thank you all SO MUCH for the warm welcome. i made danny on a bit of a whim, and now it looks like he might be my strongest muse yet ( which feels CRAZY to say since i’m so used to most muses fading after a few hours lmao ). there’s just so much potential for so many dynamic relationships and plots and though i am a bit slow on responses to threads and messages right now, just know that i really appreciate all of you so much and i’m screaming yay word vomit. long story short, THANK YOU for being freaking gr8.
Oh my GOD (from Bilboard’s SnapChat)
don't tell me you're about to flip over pencils.
“ —are you even using the pencils that I lend you? that is the SEVENTH one this week. ”
her voice was low, a small glimmer of annoyance in her eye as she turned to look at the leather clad desk neighbor, who was a mere desk over on her right.
❛ what ––––– ?! ‘course i am. ❜ insert a bout of forced laughter here, a failed attempt at casualness met with excuse that is NOTHING if not credible ( because if ANYONE is a model student, it is danny zuko ). ❛ it’s just . . . they run out quick, y’know. with all the readin’ and writin’. and class. ❜
can't promise you'll be enjoyin' your time here.
unbelievable. she could not believe she was lost already. she hadn’t even found the main office and if the students scurrying past her wasn’t enough of a warning that she was going to be late, the shrill ring of the bell verified it. great. fingers ran through her long locks, glancing around the halls for anyone that could help her. WAIT. she spun on her heel at the sound of voices, the dread she had felt turning to relief. there were still people in the hall. people that could tell her where she was going. gabriella stalked to the end of the corridor, her pace proving her to be a little too eager. she turned to the left, a bright smile breaking out on her soft features at the sight of another student. she approached him, tapping on his shoulder with her index finger.
❛ excuse me. i’m new here and i’m a little lost. i was hoping you could help me? ❜
controlled chaos of corridor is enough to solicit d i s p a r a g i n g chortle muffled by closed lips : felsnic’s spectacles clatter upon checkered flooring, thanks to cluster of JOCKS that drag along with rest of student body once already-feebly-asserted DOMINION has been reinforced ( can’t help but feel a shred of pity for the kid ), one crowd disappears through doorway as scaturient laggers traveling in opposite direction are able to FORCE their ways through practically nonexistent spaces ––––– all occurs around the observer as he leans against wrought metal, relishing in his own SEPARATION. somewhat startled is he by approach from behind, head snapping around to reveal features twisted by efflorescing hostility ( which soon after fades once realization settles –––– it ISN’T one of the boys fucking around with him ). gruffness of exterior shifts seamlessly into amalgam of confusion and intrigue, thumbs hooking into belt loops. ❛ oh, yeah ? huh. you from around here or what ? ❜
wrapped around her finger.
sandy watches danny, watching how he’s reacting as whoever that guy was as he walked in the opposite direction. slim digits clutch around and pull the male’s much larger hand towards her chest, and she runs her thumb over his fingers. “ i’m not. ” she says, staring up at him with an ever-growing smile gracing her features. “ are you? ” the question escapes her lips again as she squeezes his hand.
a burst of golden sunlight with aurous heart to match, EBULLIENCE embodied and lucent before his eyes –––––– heartbeat begins to STEADY at slow pace, growing curvature of lips evincing the inevitable ( he’s giving in ). ❛ nah . . . ❜ such extreme caprice aroused by magnanimous behaviour can only be described as SELCOUTH, heretofore infallible armor impacted by most FEATHERLIGHT of touches ; a subtle forwards movement displays desire for closeness, returned action accompanied by SINCERE SMILE. ❛ y’know, i –––––– i might be willin’ to CHANGE THAT, though. ❜
❛ c‘mon, darlin’ . . . one drink ain’t gonna KILL YOU. ❜
❛ c'mon, darlin’ . . . one drink ain’t gonna KILL YOU. ❜
i could be such a good writer if i would just *clenches fist* write
too sweet for your own good.
“ not to that guy. he just wanted to say hi! ” her arms cross as she lays a delicate hand against the other’s leather-coated arm. as far as she was aware, the male who had been strolling away really did just want to say hi. “ hey. ” she says, stepping in front of danny and resting her other hand against his other arm in an attempt to change the subject. “ are you doing anything tonight? ”
CONTRAST is almost COMICAL –––––– gentle gesture quells stirring of internal tempest, inclinations to provoke further dissent shirked by FORCE ( although from where the malefactor’s attentions were fixated, he believes himself to have MORE THAN ENOUGH REASON to do so ). from raw tiers come weighted exhalation, a less galvanic way to go about aggressions, but E G O can be set aside ( if only for a moment ) in light of a second chance. ❛ . . . are you ? ❜ a somewhat vague response thanks to presence of passers-by, but softening of features reveals what words are not permitted to quite yet.
