Hello! This is my main account and I usually post about whatever I'm obsessed with at the moment. I write some fanfiction as well, which you can find my account here. I draw from time to time, but it's not very consistent.

My other blogs are RP accounts, so if you're interested in that, these are them:

@babybandages - Child Dazai RP

headcanon that adult!zuko has kind of long nails as Firelord?? longer than would normally would be associated for a regular laboror or swordsman or palace servant, at least.

Azula's wildly long nails and Zuko being from the royal family makes me think it's a royal thing since that did happen historically as far as fashion went.

and it just kind of fits with the overall Dragon aesthetic of the ruling Fire Family and their emulation of the creature which granted them the "divine right" to rule, so it would be passed down as a traditional by Zuko's point

so yeah kind of long nails/claws Zuko

Why are creatures easier to draw than people...

Druk and Zuko for the soul

Jet helps people. At his core, that's who he is. A fighter? Or... a helper. He wants to help. He had nothing to gain from helping starving refugees on the ferry. Nothing to gain from trying to recruit Zuko. Nothing to gain from helping the Gaang find Appa. Nothing. And he still did it.

I will forever be pissed about Netflix portraying him as a selfish asshole who is just a bad guy with no redeeming qualities.

Jet is NOT selfish. He may be misguided, he may take things too far, but at his core, everything he does, he does because he thinks he's doing what's best for the people he cares about.

He thinks he needs to flood the village because he thinks it's the only way he can keep the Freedom Fighters, a group of orphaned children to count on him for everything, safe. It was wrong, yes. But his complicated emotions and reasons behind his actions are what make him interesting! It's interesting when characters do bad things for the sake of trying to do good!

The one thing I liked in the Netflix avatar was the dichotomy between Jet and Teo's father. It shows the reaction of two victims of this war who have lost something, and how they deal with it. Teo's father chose to take a knee to the enemy, giving them whatever they wanted for fear of losing what little he had left. Jet, on the other hand, decided to become just as violent as his oppressors, to get back at them for what they had taken from him. Both are real responses to those under the thumb of fascism, and while both are flawed, both stem from the want of keeping the people they care for safe.

But then, some people have decided that Jet is actually just irredeemable and would ever put himself before the people he loves. Ridiculous. Jet is flawed, but that's because he's a traumatized child and a victim of war. He is not abusive, he doesn't revel in pain and anguish, and he's certainly not a rapist.

I love toxic Jetko in some situations, but in the way that they were both not right for each other. Not that Jet was this abusive, manipulative jerk that took advantage of Zuko, this poor and helpless victim to his whims. They're both very proud and set in their ways during the time they meet, and there is an interesting dynamic there, but Jet ain't no mastermind abusive chud.

[0bscvr1ty]

OG Jet would throw hands with NATLA Jet. "How could you? How could you?"

So anyway, about the toxic/abusive bf Jet trope, this post.

[samuraionyourmom]

Oh, absolutely. He would hate that guy. Especially after his talk with Sokka, with the whole, "you betrayed yourself after you stopped protecting innocent people" talk. Jet is the guardian and caretaker of the kids in the Freedom Fighters. He loves those kids to death, and really, in Ba Sing Se, anyone who had been victimized by the Fire Nation. He would never, ever, put his needs before there's.

Absolutely agree with your points on that post! I get it, it can be fun to write about a bad guy and whatnot, but pick someone else! Jet ain't that guy! Please, I need more complicated Jet content, not just straight up evil. My boy is complicated.

noticing something about fire bending in "the deserter", specifically zuko's vs zhao's. in general, every time we see zuko fire bend, if he misses aang/his opponent, the fire just dissipates. but when zhao attacks aang, his fire hits the trees behind him and burns them. why? aang says it himself: "no self control." Zhao lacks the self-control to contain his fire. but zuko doesn't.

[samuraionyourmom]

Thinking about Zuko again. Specifically, his name and how it correlates to his family, his people, and his position with them. I'm sure I'm not the first to recognize this pattern, but I haven't seen much on this particular perspective!

So, first of all, in the royal family and high-ranking individuals, there is a strong use of the letter Z. Sozin, Azulon, Ozai, Azula, Zuko, Zhao. Perhaps it is seen as a royal-sounding letter or simply favored as a sound within the Fire Nation.

But there is also a another pattern with the letter K, with Avatar Roku and Kuzon, Aang's friend. These are common people, for the most part, and are a few examples we have of good people in the Fire Nation.

Zuko is the only one of his family since Roku (as far as we know) to have the letter K in his name. He has both Z and K, both the power to do great evil and great good. He is divided in his name, as he is for most of his arc, by a choice. To choose between the desires of his family and their war, or to listen to the good inside his heart, the good that had always been there. He is different than them, and that is evident even down to his very name.

Perhaps this is nothing. Just a little something I had rolling around in my mind as I turn the Character™️ around in my head.

Y'all ever drive with a screaming baby and five feral screaming kittens in your car?

-100/10 do not recommend

[offsetthedeath]

Secured some antibiotics for their yucky eyes and got them settled for the night

[offsetthedeath]

Kitten saga update: they did really well overnight. A rescue is giving me antibiotics for their eyes but no one can take them so far.

I've never had rescue kittens before and I'm so scared to touch them without gloves because I don't want any parasites or anything.

That said they are much sweeter today than they were yesterday. Still afraid but not fighting me so much.

[samuraionyourmom]

Oh such cute little babies 🥹 I hope they find some good homes and get all their ickies out!
