🌻 (1/2) I was thinking about writer!Zuko, and a thought occured to me: Zuko is a lover of stories and tropes and fairytales, and can be described as a well-hidden (not really) hopeless romantic. Obviously he probably writes some romance into his Dante works, as a development of a relationship between characters, but do you think he Also writes Horribly Self-Indulgent Romance Novels. Like full-on Bodice Rippers, albeit maybe not super sexy bc that's not his style.

🌻 (2/2) He's a good writer, so they'd be good, just also. Super sappy. Additionally: do you think he blasèly publishes these as Dante Basco, sending the literary world Reeling and inspiring the entire romance genre, or does he feel these are so self-indulgent that he can't bring himself to send them to Aiko at all or feels the need to send them under a NEW pen name, despite how she can recognize his handwriting. He still sets off the romance genre bc he's Just That Good.

He definitely writes his super sappy romance fantasies. If he’s writing out his trauma, then he’s also writing out his wildest dreams. I doubt he’d think to take up a different pen name, though.

Love interests that could kill the protagonist with a single finger are probably not uncommon in the Fire Nation, considering how they value combat and honour and all that, but it’s considered more cutting edge in the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe. But also, romance novels that focus on gentle intimacy, sharing secrets and soft touches and communicating trauma? It’s addicting for readers in a world so torn by violence.

¸.•*¨) ¸ Whenever she could, Evangeline was getting up rather early. The sunlight would not pierce her eyes then, and the camp was still rather calm and peaceful. Plus, on some days, when she already knew her headaches would get worse again, it was also her only chance to steal some food from the Mess Hall before it would be all loud and crowded.

¸.•*¨) ¸ The dream from last night was still in her mind, with this Morpheus guy Darin. She was remembering most of it, which was rare. Evangeline let out a sigh. If she would be more social, and not full of anxiety half of the time, she would have knocked at his door now, for sure. But Evangeline was only passing by, curiously glancing at the windows and the closed wodded door.

this really obnoxious guy wouldn't shut up in class, and i was trying to read, but for some reason this guy just constantly tries to make conversation with me when i'm trying to read, so he's talking about how awesome he is at sports and then goes "hey, what are you reading"

"Oh nothing, just a novel about a serial killer that kills annoying teenage boys and mutilates them as revenge for them infuriating him. Just some light reading."

i didn't just say this, i had this look while i was saying it that said "and i'm taking notes. you're next"

the guy didn't bug me for the rest of the hour
