Fic-to-Art #57: Kino and Yue kiss in front of Arnook and Pakku

I have the slight suspicion that my Patrons have a favorite side couple. Hmm. It's just an inkling I guess (?)

It was very funny to draw this one, due to my current IRL constraints and many responsibilities I had to turn this into a chibi artwork so I could get it done on time. But that also allows a lot of silliness, and we got plenty of it here with Kino's dorky reaction upon being kissed by his princess. I suspect this may be what his return to the Northern Water Tribe looked like, and yes, Yue is the one who initiates things. As usual xD Hope you guys like it!

If you'd like to be part of the process of creation of these pieces, a $1 pledge is enough to allow you to suggest prompts and vote in monthly polls to choose the artwork of the month! (Gladiator snippets will come back at a later date, we will likely have Sokkla Saturday snippets instead for a couple months...)

“you must be proud.” // “so proud… and sad.”

INSANELY underrated piece of dialogue. i feel like we talk a lot about dialogue in other big scenes (i.e. “i am going to speak my mind and you are going to listen” + “i was sad because you had lost your way” + “hope is something you give yourself” and so many more) but this simple, small line and the little pause between ‘proud’ and ‘sad’ ….. oh my god. 😖

not to say that the dialogue in those scenes isn’t amazing also, but “so proud… and sad” really gets me in a way none of the others do. it’s the perfect thing to say after such a heavy sequence of battle and sacrifice scenes. it’s such a beautiful way of showing arnook’s love for his daughter - he knew she would have to sacrifice herself to give back to the moon spirit, and was in full support of her bravery (cause damn, she was SO brave) but he was also just.. sad. and that’s so valid.

it’s not a very beautiful line, sure, but it works perfectly.

The severe lack of Arnook likers is so unfortunate.

While it is understandable why (considering the way Yue lived), but I feel there’s something fun to play with him playing a role in Yue’s character, and what might’ve happened to him following the end of the war now that his only child (and heir) is gone.

I mean, what more can we play around with his character beyond these?

I for one headcanon he grows a little hobby in mushroom harvesting and fungal studying when he visits the main lands of the EK.

he is looking respectfully,,,

Just noticed something in the episode "The Siege of the North, part 1"...

Arnook: The day we have feared for so long has arrived. The Fire Nation is on our doorstep. It is with great sadness I call my family here before me, knowing well that some of these faces are about to vanish from our tribe, [While saying this line, the scene flashes from Yue to Pakku to Hahn.] but they will never vanish from our hearts.

Yue will become the Moon Spirit.

Pakku will move to the South Pole.

Hahn will die in attempt to kill Zhao.

So, while Arnook is saying this exact line, we get to see the exact faces that will vanish from the Northern Water Tribe.

Also... Yue is Arnook's daughter, and Hahn is her fiance, so he can be concidered a part of the chief's family, right? Well, almost. Does this mean Pakku is some kind of relative too? He is often seen near Arnook at the councils, so he should be pretty important, at least.

The Siege of the North: before and after

[hermitduck]

bakodanook, children

He watches as the Chief’s children of the South grow older and mature into fine heroes of the world, feeling the sense of pride from his partners, talking of how big they have grown.

Sitting out in the moon-lit cold, the cooling whistles of breeze followed by the the single lantern light so mellow, it didn’t warm him far enough.

The Southern Chief and his Right Hand Man join their Northern lover under the moonlight, holding him close with the comforting warmth of them as well as the blessing of his proud daughter from far above.
