Everyone says Teo's hair is brown and Zuko's is black. Look at these pictures.

It's the same color.

Thanks for answering my question :3! I honestly appreciate the insight — pretty in depth! I didn’t even know silkpunk existed but I definitely feel it would work better for the setting of TLOK but alas TvT. I am curious to see what your redesign of the Krew would look like!

Aww, thank you, I appreciate that! I love tlok and I'm a bit of a nerd so I get way to into stuff like that. I just wanted to reiterate that Silkpunk isn't "Asian Steampunk". From my understanding, it also relies on some very specific writing, traits and grammar. Though it kinda seems that silkpunk is mainly used to describe writer Ken Liu, the creator of term,'s own personal style. So I'd perfer to use terms like silkpunk-adjacent.

I actually think revamping tlok's technology could help a lot in regaining its 'whimsy' lol. The dieselpunk electricity stuff isn't... bad. It's certainly an interesting aesthetic, but I just find it so bland and uninteresting.

I would've liked it if every nation had different technologies and power sources, I think it would add a lot to worldbuilding.

Like Air Nomads/the Air acolytes could use some rudimentary type of wind energy. Some fantastical system of windmills, fans and maybe hot air could help them harness the winds around teh mountaintops their temples are at. I like to imagine Aang and the Mechanist would work together to 'renovate' the temples in a way that would be agreeable to Air Nomad tradition.

I can also see Water Tribe technology being spearheaded by Sokka. It seems that the machines Sokka had designed for the day of the black sun were mildly inspired by fish and perhaps some type of worm/centipede. So perhaps Water Tribe technology could draw inspiration from the animal kingdom etc.

As for the Fire Nation, I think they would stick to simply using coal and the like as they used to. But I think they would stagnate a little after the war. As Fire Nation technology seems pretty tough on the enviorment, I can see Zuko and later Izumi laying restrictions on factories and the like, which may lead a lot of Fire buisinessmen to conduct their buisiness in Republic City, which could lead to a particular technological boom in the area.

As for the Earth Kingdom, it is so diverse and big that I can see different areas having different levels of technological growth.

I really need to do more research lol.

Also as for the Krew redesigns, they're not too drastic! Mainly some changes to outfits and hairstyles to fit more into that silly little tlok rewrite I keep rambling about lol.

Here's some shitty asami concepts I did for one lol

I tried to meld mainly japanese, chinese and vietnamise aspects, and lean more into Asami's 'wealthy fire nation nepo baby' vibe lol. I wanted to make a coat that is a merge between a naval commander coat and something inspired by a watansu, but I'd probably come up with a few more designs before I'm satisfied.

Teo in vector.

I wish we could see more of him.

If you feel like it you can support me on Ko-fi. And your feedback will make the artist really happy!

Have you considered: Teojiang?

We'd have to think a bright, fearless young man who can fly would have a thirst for adventure. And what better way to get it than as crew on a pirate ship? Captain Jiang could surely use a scout and inventor on her ship... and maybe by her side, too.

Have a favorite WTF pairing you think should be featured? Let us know!

Obsessing over them ;^; !!

How it feels to be a child of his

For @atla-side-character-week day 5, unexpected friendship!

“Do you remember your mom at all?”

Teo and Song sit by the edge of the forest. Up till now, they’ve been preoccupied by the identification of flowers and trees- Song’s always had a mind for that sort of thing, and Teo’s captivated by every name she has memorized. But now he’s bored, and so is she, and so they’re beginning to ask each other questions that wouldn’t be permitted in town.

“Not really,” he quietly admits. “I was just two when she died, and no kid that young is really forming memories yet, so… Yeah.”

Song nods. “I can’t remember when I was two either,” she says. “You should bring some of these mintberries back to your dad. They could help with his headaches.”

“I don’t think those will address the real problem,” Teo laughs.

“And what’s that?”

“All the time he spends in his room inventing.”

“That’s fair.”

The sun is rising, and the sky is as red as blood. Nothing is awake so early on a summer morning, even the clouds. Just Teo and Song, in the woods with their flowers.

“What about you?”

Song looks up from the copper-blossom she’s been braiding into her hair. “What about me?”

“Do you remember your dad?”

She shrinks inward, and Teo knows what he’s just asked her is vastly different from what she asked him. The sun is rising and beginning to turn its usual gold. A thin and golden ray hits the copper-blossom in Song’s hair, giving her the look of a forest-spirit.

“You don’t have to answer that,” he backtracks.

“No, it’s okay,” she murmurs, turning back towards Teo. “I was just-just thinking about him, is all.”

The red at the bottom of the sky is disappearing. Their parents won’t like that they’re out so early.

“He was a carpenter,” Song says quietly. “I remember how he’d have wood shavings in his beard whenever he got home from work. But he never wanted to shave it, even when Mama begged him.”

She pauses to wipe away a tear. Teo says nothing. There’s nothing to say.

“He made the most beautiful things, too. Mostly chairs and stuff like that, but he brought home a little bird for my eleventh birthday. I told him I was way too old for that, but I kept it. I put it in my room. Mama doesn’t even know, nobody does. You’re the first person I’ve ever told about it. I just-”

She smiles through tears. “I like having something he made me, just to keep. It makes me feel like he’s still here.”

I get it, is what he wants to say. But he doesn’t. No part of what Song has just said sparks any recognition in Teo’s mind. He thought it’d be a different experience, but he hadn’t known how different. Saying it’s okay seems to fall short as well. It isn’t okay, none of this is. Not one word can describe how not okay it is, for anybody.

That doesn’t keep him from wrapping her in a tight, tight hug.

“Thanks,” Song whispers.

“No problem,” Teo says, with a little smile of his own. “We should be getting back. Look at the sun.”

[incorrectzukka]

Teo, revealing a new invention: I call it a car!

Katara: Wow, what does it run on?

Sokka: [pointing at the wheels] um, the ground.

BESTIE, 

Okay I think about expanding Mythbenders all the time. 

I think it’d work well as a short comic featuring a different guest character each time. My idea for when Zuko is “on the show”  is that Sokka and Teo want to test if different emotions affect firebender’s body temperatures. The last test they do is Sokka gives Zuko a piece of paper that says “I really want to kiss you” or something else corny. Zuko gets so flustered the paper starts smoking and the thermometer, that Teo is holding, cracks. Teo just looks at Sokka like “what could you have possibly written??”. The last panel would be Sokka jumping on the back of Teo’s motorized wheelchair, that is probably wildly modded out, Zuko’s running after them pissed about getting pranked by his boyfriend but mostly about getting caught in 4k. 

(I would say Zuko pranks him back but I think he prolly sucks at pranks, he’s def not letting him get away with it tho!)

I hope you like it! thx for supporting me since before my first uploaded art (which was mythbenders I believe <3)
