Ponytail Zuko, cleaned up for instagram (cabbage_merchant.jpg). Originally from this post by @vallirenwrites about bald zuko without the ponytail to keep his flowing long locks contained. Then my brain went “hold on, what if Zuko just never changes his hair” and now look what happened.
[ID: 4 monochrome drawings of Zuko, with his book 1 hairstyle. Drawing 1 shows Zuko speaking, while his hair, unbound from the confines of the pony tail, flows majestically behind him. Sparkles adore his hair, to illustrate just how beautiful it is.
Drawing 2 shows a tired and disgruntled Zuko in uniform, scowling slightly. Heavy bags are under his eyes, and his hair is, once again, out of its pony tail, but now just hangs down onto his shoulder in a tangled mess.
Drawing 3 is a redraw of the scene in the episode “The Beach” where Zuko takes off his shirt dramatically and there are birds flying behind him, except in this version he has his Book 1 hairstyle. Thankfully in a pony tail this time.
Drawing 4 is a redraw of the scene where Zuko is in the war balloon on his way to first meet the Gaang in Book 3, except this time, of course, he has his book 1 hairstyle. End ID.]
