I JUST REALISED IVE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT MOMO. HOW DID I FORGET ABOUT MOMO. THERES NO MOMO IN THE FIC. GUYS. GUYS IM SO SORRY. IM GOING TO RETCON AND FIX THIS. I CANT BELIEVE IVE DONE THIS. WHAT THE FUCK?
WOAH! THE CREW???? THE CREW FROM HIT FANFICTION NO THING DEFINES A MAN LIKE LOVE??? WOAH WOAH WOAH??? Anyway yes omg its them!!! This took me so long and im so tired but look at my ANGELS!
UM! Friendly reminder that I myself am not Inuit/Indigenous! I did research + had an Indigenous person helping me w the tattoos, but if theres anything wrong/disrespectful pls do let me know and I will fix it. All the tattoos r on a seperate layer so it'll be an easy fix and one i am more then happy to do. A few of the designs changed between this and my written description, so... Oops?? Especially Morqa. I got carried away ok.... ANYWAY I have some little notes abt their designs here and there so! Kaiqa: He used to have shorter bangs around his face but they annoyed him so he tried to let them grow out but that annoyed him so he would cut them again and then try to let them grow out and now he just has perpetual baby hairs that wont get any longer. Mikla: UM. Not much to say here. Isnt he pretty tho?? Buteq: SOMEHOW ENDED UP THE MOST MAJESTIC MAN EVER. HELLO?? The two beads on the right are for his nieces and the one on the left is for his sister! Neter: One time he got super cocky abt being 7 years older then Nitya which meant he was a better fighter and so Nitya was like "yeah?? ok bet." and then punched him and broke his nose and was like "hm where are those warrior reflexes?" so now Neter has a permanently bent nose. Sorqai: He got the scar thats through his beard in the same raid that cause Nitya and Konait (Kaiqas older brother) to die. Nitya died trying to get Konait and some other kids out of the mess, and Sorqai got injured trying to get to them to help. He's mostly numb on that side of his face due to nerve damage ! Causes him to lisp a bit, especially w the chipped tooth (which he got from tripping) Natai: He wears both his own and Nitya's necklaces their parents made them, and intends to only take of Nitya's and let it go into the ocean where he was buried when the war is over. His own way of keeping Nitya involved in the war effort, something that was really important to him. Kutai: Again, no real notes here but isnt he pretttyyy..... Kovak: Honestly, very likely one of my favourite character designs I've ever made. Im kind of obsessed with him. He doesnt wear his necklace from his parents because he wasnt on good terms with them at all while they were alive. He took it off before they died, and hasnt been able to bring himself to put it back on. he intends to give it to his kid when he gets back. Mori: UM! I dont have a lot of notes here. Mori has two kids ! Hence the three tattoos under their chin, I saw an inuit creator/source say that sometimes people will add lines as they have kids and I thought that was really lovely so yes!! Again im just. I think hes so pretty. Luqait: Im so sorry king I did u dirty posting this after that one chapter. Each one of the beads he wears is dedicated to someone he knew in the tribe who died, theres more not visible on the other side of the braids. I can say for 100% certainty theres one for Kya and Nitya. Saila: Saila was actually a design i struggled a lot with, but I think I got them to a point im happy with!!! They're a good amount intense, androgynous and also have that amber flash in their eyes. The amber comes from having Fire Nation somewhere in their ancestry, something I dont think will really come up in the fic, but a detail I think is good to know! Morqa: I changed Morqa's design the most, especially his hair! But I think he's ended up being a design I am most proud of. The piercings especially!! Eventually u will run out of space (that we can see ig??) king but today is not that day godbless.
OKAY! THERE WE GO... I HOPE EVERYONE LIKES THEM UM PLS BE NICE AND DONT REPOST AND IDK JUST.... I HOPE U LIKE THEM AS MUCH AS I DO i know oc's in fics arent always peoples favourites but the reception of these guys has been like. Beyond mindblowing. Im so fucking excvited and happy everytime people in my comments talk about how much they love the characters i've created. Like.... The fact that people enjoy the OC's and not just for what the give to Zuko, but for what they give to each other and their own individual stories is so incredible to me. I hope u guys like this and I hope it helps u visualise them better!! : D
Was on Pinterest and got whiplash seeing my own Zuko art for no thing defines a man like love on it and ppl in the comments being like “WHAT FIC IS THIS?” “WHO wrote this??” “Is this *other fic*?” And as someone who grew up relying on Pinterest for fandom content bc I was banned from everything it felt strangely full circle!!! I’d ofc prefer my work not get reposted anywhere, but I know that some people only rlly have access to Pinterest!!
The sheer amount of comments concerned abt Zukos heart rate in ATLA is making me realise a) I didn't establish the count Toph was doing b) Not everyone has heart issues c) Probably should've made it lower HAHAHA
HES FIIINEEE
I always hate thinking about extending the chapter length of No Thing bc first of all it was SUPPOSED to be like. I think 25 chapters long? But also bc I know a lot of people only choose to read WIP fics that have a set chapter count but unfortunately I ramble way too much and I didn't complete this fic before starting to post (which I try to do now for the most part) so It like. Things change! In other news. Scaffolding future chapters. Stay tuned. Hopefully not too much to be added....
As a reminder, I would REALLY prefer my stuff not get put on pinterest !! Ive made a pinterest account and have made some reports but pinterest will be pinterest and it isnt going anywhere. I dont want it to be a big deal, I dont want anyone to be attacked or upset, however, with the recent push for AI and such with it I am a bit more concerned about it. If u see my work reposted, not that I am expecting it to happen again since I dont rlly post art, please just report it, toss a link for my actual tumblr/ao3 in the comments and flick me a link so I can do what I can! Thank u thank u : ] I care more about it being correctly credited to me then I do it not being there at all!!
