#​𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙙 ( Sifu Hotman ) ⸻private & mutuals only portrayal of Fire Lord Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender, with heavy influences from comic canon. Default timeline set post Smoke and Shadow, approximately 4 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Jess ( she / her, 42, pst ). est. March 2025.

CURRENTLY ON A TEMPORARY HIATUS

Crossovers are highly encouraged, but please make sure you’ve watched ATLA fairly recently, because some important lore details [which are pretty well-known within the fandom] come straight from the show itself, which impact how our characters exist and interact in this universe. Bonus points if you're willing to read the Zuko-centric comics, which I'm happy to provide resources for.

A story of  BREAKING CYCLES, IDENTITY, choosing your own DESTINY, REDEMPTION, HEALING & FORGIVENESS, and learning that true HONOR isn’t something granted by others, but earned through INTEGRITY, EMPATHY, and doing what’s right.

After almost three weeks of harassing Tumblr, my blog was reinstated. I'm overjoyed to have honorforged back, but I've also established myself on the new account and rather than make my mutuals jump back and forth, the easiest thing to do is to archive this blog is and move to everything to the other one. So @honorforged has been moved ! I'll be slowly transferring everything there over the next couple of weeks. I've chosen to do this to make things easier on my mutuals after this whole blog termination fiasco. I don't want people to have to move things all over again.

Thank you again to @ofinkandalibis for their relentless campaigning to Tumblr Staff on my behalf to help get this blog restored. I'm so very grateful for friends like you ♥️.

I love you guys. I'll see you on the new blog !

Ok. I think the easiest thing to do at this point is to archive this blog as honorforged-archive and move this url to my new blog. Then I'll slowly repost my stuff and move over all these drafts. My heart is beating so fast. Thank you to @ofinkandalibies for campaigning for me to tumblr staff and to @droplct for noticing this blog is restored !

[ofinkandalibis]

So glad the crusade worked!! Glad to have you back where you belong!! <3

[honorforged-archive]

You deserve so much credit for the way you worked to make this happen. You're one of my oldest and dearest friends, I'm so grateful for you. Thank you for everything you did. I'm in tears about this. You know how much Zuko means to me. I was devastated.

OH MY HECK YOU GUYS I GOT MY BLOG BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[riotd]

i’m very self aware. which unfortunately hasn’t solved anything

[soughtserenity]

Mama Mai got a burst of energy thirty minutes ago and moved some things around in the room but that energy tanks mid sentence while she read in bed. It was just so comfy ...

[honorforged-archive]

“I like what you’ve done with the place,” Zuko says from where he’s leaning in the doorway, his brow furrowing with concern until he realizes his beloved isn’t responding because she’s fallen asleep and that frown tugs into a soft smile as he crosses the nursery floor and carefully scoops Mai into his arms, making sure she’s secure against his tors. His lips brush her temple. “Lets get you off the floor and into bed.”

[rlaehrwk21]

"i can fix him" ok well i will try to make him realize how loved and cherished he is outside of the narrative he created for himself

[hlaveee]

[honorforged-archive]

Come to think of it. Zuko has met some random muses through @soughtserenity.

Bob Belcher Catra Flynn Rider Toad Sonic Geralt Scar

And there are some Sunshine retired, like Fin the Human, who Zuko secretly really liked a lot.

● — || As he turned around in her grasp , Katara refused to let go . All she did was adjust , until he was facing her completely . Once he was done , she moved her left hand down further until her scarred hand curled around his . As for her [ [ right ] ] hand , it settled on his left cheek as it often did when she wanted to comfort the raging flames beneath his surface . Quietly , she brushed her thumb beneath his scarred eye , breaking her gaze momentarily . ❝ Yes , Zuko . . . You have . You've proven yourself to me , to everyone , more than you should have ever had to . ❞ As another swipe of her thumb caught a tear , Katara brought her oceans back to his honey - crisp sanctuaries .

❝ You've done more proving of yourself than anyone should have to in a lifetime , and it wasn't fair of me to make you have to do it again . I shouldn't ever [ [ add ] ] to your suffering . It's my job to take it away , not make it worse . ❞

Her reassurance drew a contented sort of groan from his throat as he nodded, his body shifting even closer to hers until there was no distance between them, and he could draw her into his arms. His hands rested at her lower back, thumbs caressing her there, while his face found sanctuary against her neck. “I love you,” he whispered, “I shouldn’t have been bothered by a little teasing. I wasn’t at first. I don’t know what happened. I know you didn’t mean anything serious by it. Maybe I’m not as ok as I’ve convinced myself I am.”

[soughtserenity]

Her face felt warm with joy watching him relax like that. She moves in front of him and combs his hair back slowly. " I feel the same way about my mother and my students too of course. Being there for those kids and showing them another way? Working alongside my mom at the shop? It made me feel like I can be my whole self. "

[honorforged-archive]

“I’m happy for you, Mai. I mean that. You’ve really blossomed into this confident woman. You’ve always been her to me, but I see you believing in yourself, and I’m so proud of you.” His hands find purchase on her hips, thumbs gently caressing them. “When you broke up with me, I was devastated. Even more when I believed your relationship with Kei Lo was real,” he clears his throat, pushing back emotions he wasn’t ready to revisit. “But it was good for us both. We’ve grown a lot, on our own and now together. And I think…” That he’s ready for marriage. “I think it’s really great.”

honorforged "I know other Yuyan... what about Shin? I've talked to him before." The man's name wasn't Shin.

Kate squints her eyes at him. "You mean, Chen?" If she doubted him before, she doubly did now.

[honorforged-archive]

“That’s what I said. Chen.” He fixes her with an annoyed look and snorts dismissively.  “You’re always so stoic and... silent.”

I love sharing @throneforged's headcanon of Zuko confidently calling someone by the wrong name, just like his father does.
