I did it. A year after conception but I did it. Say hi to my ATLA retelling:

Avatar: The Strings Of Fate

AKA ATLA Complete edition + DLC

Starring a fuckton of expansion on the spirit world, a fistful of OCs that won’t take up all the space and gay as fuck Zuko ad Aang.

Status update:

I'm reading Heaven's Official Blessing for the first time, also my first Danmei, and the tonal, genre and cultural whiplash I felt was enormous.

13 pages in and this guy saved a kid, fistfighted a ghost and got invited into heaven.

For reference, my last read was George Orwell's Animal Farm just a few days ago.

For context, this is not a critique of the book, I actually think that Heaven's official blessing is pretty cool. Just, it's kinda funny to go from "Snowball gets framed for literally everything that happens in the story" to "Xie Lian beats a ghost to death and gets a 'get into heaven free' card from god"

Also, to more experienced danmei readers I wanna ask:

Is there anything I need to know before getting into the book? I'm used to more grounded stories, with less "established characters". Having a protagonist that already ascended to heaven thrice in a row is quite overwhelming.

All of this is asked with complete respect because I really wanna get into these types of novels, none of my jokes are made in bad faith.

"AANG WHAT THE FU-"

"TRUST THE PROCESS"

[nessthememelord]

Gang. Imma be real with y'all. I've never seen so much Zukaang content in my life and I've never been so happy about it. LIKE, FINALLY. FINALLY WE'RE GETTING THE RECOGNITION WE DESERVE.

To celebrate, here's an hc about them:

For how he grew up and what he was taught to fear and value, Zuko sleeps with an eye open. He is constantly with a high guard and paranoid that someone might have bad intentions against him. This is especially after getting his scar by Ozai, leading to heavy trust issues during his life.

Aang, on the other hand, is way too trustworthy. He has been raised with the idea that anyone has some good inside, even if they don't want to see it. Because of this, he's extremely laid back and easily gives people the benefit of the doubt.

When they become friends, that's one of the first things they notice about eachother usually commenting on their opposites behavior. Zuko pointing out how Aang might get himself in danger like that, and Aang scolding Zuko on how he'll never build a lasting relationship without putting a bit of trust into the other person (see the incident with Mai during The Beach).

As they get closer, their approach also shifts , with Aang learning to be more wary of certain people and to not always assume the best and Zuko recovering from his trust issues by slowly opening up to the rest of the gaang like he did with his uncle back on the ship.

To add to that, Aang encouraged Zuko into confronting Mai and their previous relationship after the break up. Fortunately they made up and are currently in good terms(With Mai also confessing her homosexuality).

Sorry for any bad wording or grammatical error, I kinda wrote as I went lol

Buzzcut Demon Zuko + miscellaneous tomfoolery + Oracle Aang and Swamp Woman Katara

[nessthememelord]

New AU concept? Zuko is a demon, Aang is an oracle, the demon themed Fire Nation is hunting Aang down or something like that. Zuko protects him cuz he wants revenge. He's all aura and no threat, pure black cat behavior.

And he looks like the Blue Spirit because I can

Heyyy guys! I rewatched ATLA, and redrew some screencaps! Along with slight redesigns of my old ones. Feel free to send in screencaps or prompts for me to redraw!

[nessthememelord]

KATARA IS A FISH, ZUKO IS A BLUE DRAGON, AANG IS A BIRD, AM I IN HEAVEN OR WHAT??

Wanted to do this for a long time lmao, there more Kuzon x Blue Spirit stuff

[nessthememelord]

Completely out of context post but I'm so happy how the fandom made me change my view on Kataang so much. It went from my borderline Notp since I saw no chemestry in the show (I think it was a show problem of inserting Aang's crush in a way I didn't enjoy in first viewing) to arguably an A tier ship. They're legitimely so cute in fanarts it's not even funny, it gives me a ton of inspiration for my own Zukaang thoughts too! This ship NAILS the "Me and the bad bitch I pulled by being autistic" trope that I genuenly love. I think I'll do a rewatch of the show and maybe, dunno, see Aang and Katar's relationship differently? Hope it will make me apprecciate the show more.

Banging ship, my man.

PEOPLE OF THE ZUKAANG NATION.

We are in need of more Blue Spirit x Aang content, and so, I'm delivering it! I'm TIRED and I need MORE of this Zukaang flavor.

I'm not incredibly proud of it, but fuck it at least I drew something this time.

ATTENTION BENDERS AND NON-BENDERS

THE PEOPLE DEPICTED ON THESE PAPERS ARE WANTED FOR VIGILANTISM ALL AROUND THE WORLD. THEIR REAL IDENTITIES ARE UNKNOWN AND UP TO SPECULATION.

WAHHHHHHH FINALLY I CAN SHOW THIS IDEA

Very simple premise, after the end of the show, specifically my AU of the show, Aang, Zuko, Katara and Toph decide all to go play dressup and do normal vigilante stuff around the world. The Fire Nation has no idea where the hell the Firelord went (I'll probably figure something out qdsnicjbdsjbackjb)

The costumes, except for the Painted Lady have all been tweaked to better fit in this post-canon thing, as they now resemble more the spirits (And Avatar for Aang) the disguises were based off of.

Btw that's a wig on Aang's head, lol.
