Margaret spends the whole book taking care of others even when she was suffering and she doesn't complain! She loves to take care of people she loves, she even wants to do it. But soon it turns to her taking all the burden, her feeling lonely. Then she meets Bessy with whom she can finally talk but it's also for a short time. Then Frederick comes and she feels better but that is also for a short time. She is back to giving her all for others (like she always does) without anyone to share her troubles with and she is suffering, she is lonely! But who notices that? Who wants to help her? Who wishes he could take care of her? Who sees that she is actually not well, no matter what others might be saying? Who actually protects her? Who stays by her side through it all? JOHN THORNTON!!!

Love how Mr Darcy's big act of service was tracking down Lydia, and Mr. Thornton's big act is engaging in romantic and blatant police corruption

When Mr. Thornton had left the house that morning he was almost blinded by his baffled passion. He was as dizzy as if Margaret, instead of looking , and speaking, and moving like a tender graceful woman, had been a sturdy fish-wife, and given him a sound blow with her fists. He had positive bodily pain—a violent headache, and a throbbing intermittent pulse. He could not bear the noise, the garish light, the continued rumble and movement of the street. He called himself a fool for suffering so; and yet he could not, at the moment, recollect the cause of his suffering, and whether it was adequate to the consequences it had produced. It would have been a relief to him, if he could have sat down and cried on a door-step by a little child, who was raging and storming, through his passionate tears, at some injury he had received. He said to himself that he hated Margaret, but a wild, sharp sensation of love cleft his dull, thunderous feeling like lightning, even as he shaped the words expressive of hatred. His greatest comfort was in hugging his torment and in feeling, as he had indeed said to her, that though she might despise him, contemn him, treat him with her proud sovereign indifference, he did not change one whit. She could not make him change. He loved her, and would love her; and defy her, and this miserable bodily pain. — NORTH & SOUTH by Elizabeth Gaskell

There’s a common misconception with antis about why most of us ship Zutara.

It’s not about her “fixing” him.

If anything, it’s more like:

Zuko whenever he’s around Katara in general: “Well, mark me down as scared AND horny.”

Happy Zutara Month 2022!! 

Day 1: Fire Lady Katara

The Water Tribe formal dress was almost as hot to wear as her wedding dress had been, but Katara still didn’t regret choosing it. This royal portrait she and Zuko were currently posing for was for posterity, after all, and she would never miss the chance to emphasize her heritage, especially for future generations.

Their Royal Majesties, Fire Lord Zuko and Master Katara of the Southern Water Tribe, Queen Consort of the Fire Nation

In my feels again about Katara and Zuko finding a partner in each other who supports them through good and bad. And about their marriage making Katara the most politically powerful woman in the world as she damn well should be.

Fire Nation guard: Lady Katara, by order of Fire Lord Zuko you are under arrest.

Katara: What? What for?

Guard: *sighs*

Guard: For stealing the Fire Lord’s heart.

Zuko, holding ring: You are hereby sentenced to life…with me.

ZK Fanwork Appreciation Week Day 2: Media Monday

In case Tumblr can’t play the video, here’s the Vimeo Link

(Mature Content warning for below link. Do not click if under 18 or not into E-rated stories.) Adapted from Chapter 3 of Something Brewing  By @dracosollicitus (Draco_sollicitus on AO3) Rated E - EXPLICIT. (I cannot emphasize enough that while I only adapted the fluffy bits of build up in this chapter, this story is EXPLICIT and NSFW with Adult Zutara. DO NOT INTERACT/READ/REBLOG/LIKE IF UNDER 18 or if it’s not your thing. You have been warned.)

Credits Zuko … Dante Basco Katara … Soopersara 

HUUUUUGE Shoutout to Dante Basco @rufiozuko and @soopersara for being so kind and generous with their time so as to record a few lines of dialog for this. Their participation is NOT an endorsement of the fic so please don’t bother them about that. (Also, just to temper expectations, I was only able to do dialog for one of two animatics, and this one was shorter and more Zuko-heavy so it got picked.) My storyboard does NOT cover the NSFW parts; it is just pining and fluff. At this point in the story, Zuko and Katara have had a passionate kiss in the garden after a lot of yearning and build up to that point (not pictured) but it was interrupted. Katara’s trip to the fire nation is nearing its end. So they have to decide if they tell each other how they feel or leave things unsaid as she is set to leave. ToT Music: All Time Chump - Hercules (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Meg’s Garden - Hercules (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) This is all done with no intention of making money off these animatics; it’s purely fanart. >.> DO NOT REPOST. And if Zutarians are going to screencap some frames, I think it is imperative to also acknowledge Draco_Sollicitus too, because it’s based on their concepts and story. I simply translated it into visuals.

The No “I Love You” Animatic In case Tumblr can’t play the video, here’s the Vimeo Link

Link to the AO3 collection So, when @fictionissocialinquiry laid out this challenge, it was mainly for writers; but she included some extra prompts therein, and one was a line from Hozier’s “Shrike”.

I couldn’t whisper when you needed it shouted This led me to listen to “Shrike” on repeat while I feverishly started doodling the thumbnails for the animatic I got in my head (so I hope that some of that emotion from Hozier’s amazing song comes through in the final board, ‘cause I listened to it. A. Lot.). While I think it’s a bit easier for drawings to express “I love you” without any words needed at all. I wanted to try and approach the task by thinking of ways one can confess that they love someone through acts of service and tenderness versus super obvious displays of love, I guess. It came out with a sort of courtly love-ish vibe that I really ended up liking. (Though I suppose reciprocation makes it not courtly love ANYWHO…)

I’m in an Ambassador Katara/Fire Lord Zuko state of mind! I just love any love story with them in these roles. There are so many different ways to play with the set up of them as Ambassador and Fire Lord. In this one, I kind of picture that they haven’t gotten together yet (this is divergent from whatever I did in the Reunion animatics; this is it’s own thing). Perhaps they are on the precipice of realizing they want to be together… I don’t know; it’s open to interpretation. XD but what I hope I portrayed clearly is how one can show that they love another. u.u

Please no reposting. (And while I don’t mind screenshots being posted so long as you credit me with a link to either the tumblr post or the Vimeo link, please don’t post like a bunch of frames, and there should be no money being made off of it; this is a purely not-for-profit sort of thing. These were for fun, and I enjoy people liking them one so much. However, the screenshot rule ONLY applies to the animatics, but it really is an honor system here, guys, please be judicious with how many you take.)
