logged into glimmer which means i HAD to show yue some love too. her cartoon moon princess sister …

[lunarduties]

yue is a writer in every sense of the word. she often journals, and this eventually turns into her trying her hand at poetry. she is deeply inspired by her faith and in verses where she survives the siege of the north, continues to hone her craft

in canon, her writings are found by arnook shortly after her demise. after a couple years, a select few of her poems are published and (postwar) are widely distributed throughout the nations as fascination with the moon spirit and the legend of yue increases

[die-auster]

The moment I saw that wooden fish on @chiptrillino's moon-Yue redesigns (Chip is soooooo talented!!!!!!) I wanted to draw this comic strip.

Id in ALT

[lunarduties]

@meteorswrd sent: "Here!" A boyish grin accompanies his outstretched hand as he places something into her palm. "I made it for you." It was a little wood carving of – well, it seemed to have ears of some sort? Or maybe those were fins...?

her cheeks are already burning by the time the token is pressed into her hand. this is just the effect he has . . . never having to do too much to make her heart flutter. still, the gift is more than welcome, and yue brings her free hand upward to examine the slopes and curves of the carving.

❛ oh, sokka . . . it's lovely !       ❜  and she means that, even if she doesn't have a solid idea of what it's supposed to be. she spins the carving around to gaze at it from a different angle. it very well could be a fish. or . . . some kind of small mammal. regardless, it'll go nicely with her collection of the other trinkets he's made her in his time on the road. ❛ you're so talented. will you teach me how to make one of my own ? it isn't right that i can't gift you a little friend in return.       ❜

[lunarduties]

so who is volunteering to retrieve gaang!yue’s arrows for her when she does target practice

[bndair]

monkey feathers ! she saw through him. the mask slips freely now ; aang all but deflates with reluctant acceptance that he cannot run away from this too , that he must bear this loss with all its pain and fury and guilt. and yet , her words stoke the embers of hope and curiosity somewhere within.

faint gust lofts him up , settles him gently next to her , and wafts away like a soft sigh from the bender himself.      ❝ does it help ? ❞

[lunarduties]

the breeze that briefly chills her is welcome. it's comforting in the same way the winds back in the north are. still, as much as yue's heart yearns for home, she is happy to be here with them; with the avatar. with aang, who has become a dear friend. the princess only hopes she can soothe him like he has done for her.

❛ never fully,       ❜  she says, achingly honest. yue leans forward to eye their reflections in the water below . . . careful not to topple off the riverbank. ❛ but sometimes, if i really miss my mother, i'll talk to her as if she's here. i tell her all that's going on, the mundane and the amazing, so she feels included. it makes her feel closer to me.       ❜

PROMPTS FOR AFTER THE BATTLE *  dialogue for post-conflict conversations, adjust as necessary

you did good out there.

you made me proud.

they had the advantage.

you saved my life.

how many were lost?

we can't stay here forever.

that was way too close.

i searched everywhere!

how can i ever repay you?

you came out of nowhere.

help me look for survivors.

you couldn't have known it was a trap.

i knew i could count on you.

were you hiding the whole time?

you saw what they did out there.

i can't believe we won.

how long have i been out?

we're lucky the walls held.

no more bloodshed.

here, i think this is yours.

you impressed me.

think i'll sleep for two days straight after a fight like that.

i'm still limping, but i'll be fine.

i can't believe they're gone.

don't blame yourself.

they were stronger than we were.

i tried to save them.

are you giving up?

it was close. we made it out.

how are we supposed to beat them?

never do that again.

it'll be dark soon. we should move.

how are your injuries? let me see them.

stay close to me.

i'm not as young as i once was.

that went better than expected.

i don't think i can do that again.

i need a medic over here!

i'm a little sore, but i'll be okay.

war is hell.

i didn't know what to think.

they were ready for us.

we did what we could.

i can still remember the screams.

was it worth it? for this?

i don't think this is a fight that can be won.

you left me to fend for myself out there!

where were you when i needed you?

i thought you were dead.

after a fight like that, i want you to stay close.

i'm more worried about you.

i saw you fall.

let me clean you up.

where does it hurt?

it was a trap.

this used to be a pretty spot once.

can't believe it's all gone.

one second you were right beside me, and the next, you were gone.

i knew i'd see you again.

pull yourself together!

no one's ever taken that castle.

we knew it'd be close.

you dropped your sword.

is it over?

i don't think i can do this anymore.

i had your back!

this is a lost cause.

i'm not strong enough.

you're covered in blood.

next time, we'll be ready for them.

i needed you out there!

i couldn't have done this without your help.

we should keep moving.

we're not done yet.

they had the numbers.

@lunarduties   | starter call ( accepting )

" i'm fine , really " , his tight smile seems to say ; yet body language tells a different story of quietly concealed sorrow.      ❝ we never realize how much someone is a part of us until we feel the weight of emptiness when they’re gone. ❞      it's gyatso's birthday today.

[lunarduties]

❛      i understand. ❜ princess says simply. and she does, as both aang's words and the carefully constructed smile painted across his face echo back to how she felt when she lost her mother. she was so young that there are days where it seems like sedna never even existed. yue scoots to the side, nodding to the space next to her . . . encouraging him to sit. ❛ — do you want to know what i do when i miss someone who's gone ?       ❜ 

[tbartss]

The moon is always watching

[fearbend]

SHE PIVOTS, feet rooted on the spot, the thorny prickle of surprise halting her advance to a stop. but before she can reprimand whichever simpering fool thought it wise to accost a member of the royal family, her severe gaze lands squarely on the source of the nuisance. oh, goody. even more foreign dignitaries disturbing her peace and quiet. as though listening to indolent, whiny nobles wax political day in and day out isn’t punishment enough. silently, she chides herself for not having any escape routes at the ready, and makes a mental note to rectify the mistake. how embarrassing that she should be so wilfully ill-prepared.

in the absence of alternatives and against her better judgement, she nods, tacit acquiescence knit in the crease of her brow. best to tread carefully than risk upsetting the delicate balance her brother has worked so hard to maintain, no matter how much of a sham she may think this all is. then, assuming the most regal air she can muster, she dismisses her guards, sending them scattering with a wordless flourish of her hand. to azula’s disappointment, the gesture does little in the way of instilling the same fear she’d come to expect in times past.

regardless, her nonchalance holds fast, as measured steps bridge the distance in a few strides. like a fish out of water in every sense of the word, the other princess looks misplaced against the fire nation backdrop, the garish colours casting her into a sharp relief. why zuko insists on welcoming every second-rate official into their home is anyone’s guess really. once she has drawn nearer to where yue is sitting, she gives a small bow, entirely too shallow to be anything other than insulting, all etiquette thrown to the wind. it’s a low blow, she knows as much. ❝ make it quick. some of us can’t afford to be lax in our duties. ❞

[lunarduties]

it's almost amusing to yue . . . the irony of the fire nation's princess being so outwardly cold, so deliberately rigid. had she not heard about azula from her brother so thoroughly beforehand, yue may have found it in her to be offended by the other's pure annoyance. it's hard to take it all in anything but stride, though, as she finds it rather obvious that azula also appears very uncomfortable. yue, in comparison, is very content . . . tucked against a tree trunk and enraptured by the way the turtleducks splash about in a nearby pond. if this all goes south, at least she can say she tried.

❛      oh, well, i fear i planned to spend at least another half hour enjoying the sun. ❜ from her place in the shade, of course. too long in the direct path of the warmth and she'll be reduced to a sluggish mess. with a gentle smile, yue gestures to the empty half of the blanket she's sitting on . . . the one positioned directly in the heat. ❛ if you're in a rush, i don't want to keep you. but if you can find some time to spare, there's room for you to sit. maybe a moment of rest would be good for your spirit.       ❜   

she knows firsthand how grueling the schedule of a princess can be. yue has long been insistent, tugging at the sleeve of her father, that she be involved in as much of the northern water tribe's pomp and circumstance as possible. this was not necessarily because she wanted to be involved in the decision making . . . but more so she could be privy to the goings - on for the sake of her people. it's an attempt to liken herself to the other. yue glances back down at her parchment, still stumped on where to take her poem. ❛ — i don't suppose you write poetry, hmm ? i'm at a total loss here.      ❜   

[lunarduties]

every time i have both yue and glimmer active at the same time i am at max power........ my moon girls! my moon princesses!!!!!!
