I PROMISED MY UNCLE THAT I WOULD RESTORE THE HONOR OF THE FIRE NATION. AND I WILL!
independent low activity (weekends only) zuko of nickelodeon's avatar: the last air bender (2005). 18+, beta editor, written by nika, they/he, white, 25. please read the rues under the read more before following.
IMPORTANT FYI
I am following the idea that the Fire Nation is based on Imperial Japan. I also think it is important to note that much of the ATLA world has influences of Chinese & Korean culture within it. I will be alternating between using his cartoon appearance, his live action actor and my own chosen actors for his fc. Please note that I do not support genocide, colonization, or anything Zuko does in his fire nation loyal/avatar chasing era.
RULES
01. Although my Zuko is primarily based on the cartoon, my own research, & my own headcanons, I am NATLA friendly.
02. Although this blog is 18+ I will NOT be writing any sexual content on this blog. When portraying Zuko as a minor I'm okay with writing puppy love/crushes but will not write full on ships or kissing scenes. When portraying adult Zuko I'm okay with writing short kissing scenes, hand holding, sfw romance, etc. I'm open to portraying him as an adult and as elder as seen in Legend of Korra. I will assume you are interacting with him as a minor unless you ask for a verse in which he's older.
03. Out of respect or Native and Ingenious peoples I will not be writing with anyone who uses Ian Ousley as their fc for Sokka. It is unclear at this time what his heritage is. In turn I will not interact with ATLA characters who use white faceclaims (aka I will only write with folks who use BIPOC faceclaims. My idea of BIPOC includes mixed race people).
04. I'm slowly rewatching the cartoon but don't have every little fact about the ALTA setting and Zuko memorized. Don't be that guy to nitpick every little thing I do. Constructive criticism, however, (especially feedback from BIPOC) is always welcome.
05. Keep call out posts away from me. I don't want to be involved with drama. The block button is free. Use it.
06. Duplicate friendly. Please ask before following if your muse is from a different fandom.
out of character info. nika, they/he, 25, art teacher, I like to draw and study Japanese language & culture. I also know a little Mandarin but my Japanese is better than my Mandarin. You can also find me on @be1fong & @bowbend
Due to frequent issues with xkit (amongst other things) I will be moving zuko to @fiheir . Please read the updated rules on his new blog before interacting. Ty.

Another thing about ATLA that applies to both the original and live-action is that Fire Lord Ozai doesn't love Azula, he just hates Zuko. Ozai's disdain for his son is the only thing that pushes him to his daughter. If it weren't for the fact that Azula shares the same disdain for her brother, and is incredibly desperate for her father's validation, Ozai wouldn't care for her either. The only reason I can sympathize with her a little is because her dad groomed her to be like him. Azula never stood a chance, really
There's a few things I want to get off my chest to clear the air. The people who really need to hear this won't see it bc they jumped to conclusions and blocked me but here I go:
I recently accidentally followed/liked a krp blog. I had skimmed it quick and thought it was an ATLA rp group. It took me a while to unfollow bc I'm an adult with a full time job and I don't make checking my blogs a top priority. I don't support krp blogs bc I know they fetishize and objectify korean people. If you're a mutual and you catch me accidentally following someone or something problematic you're welcome to reach out to me (although you are of course not expected to - it's not your job to monitor me).
I shouldn't have to post proof of this but I have reached out to multiple native ppl both irl and online about Ian. No one can seem to agree if he is native or not so I'd rather just not interact with him as a fc to play it safe. Not responding to DMs from a random person who isn't a mutual regarding this issue doesn't make me a racist (unless the meaning of racism & performative activism has suddenly changed?). Especially since the DMs I got came across as accusatory and hostile (the person who DMed me claimed it wasn't meant to be hostile but they were literally ONLY active on their blog to post pro-ian stuff & to ramble about me not replying to their DM)
I'm sorry that we couldn't all communicate like the mature adults we all are. I hope the mutual blocking makes us all feel safer and happier. Good night <3
