ATLA VIENG INTRODUCTION
BOUNDARIES
A breach of my boundaries will result in a block. I draw NSFW occasionally, please refrain from following me if you're a minor or uncomfortable with that, ALL NSFW WORKS WILL BE TAGGED AND FLAGGED/HIDDEN TO ENSURE THAT IT IS VISIBLE ONLY TO APPROPRIATE AUDIENCES
Have some common etiquette. I don't mind people acting strange/bizarre, there's no such thing as a stupid question, Cringe Culture is dead, etc. etc. Just don't be rude.
I do NOT respond well to OVERLY sexual/weird jokes or comments. Please keep it to yourself.
Please don't project your own headcanons/yourself/your own ship onto my ship content (ViengKuei), it makes me extremely uncomfortable
Don't for the love of God try to use my ships and my work as a vessel for your poorly disguised fantasies.
Don't come into my house and tell me to rearrange my furniture.
I'm comfortable with drawing most everything as long as you ask like a normal person.
Do Not Interact....
No Racists, Misogynists/People who partake in Misogynoir, Transphobes, Homophobes, TERFs, Proshippers, Lolicon, Shotacon, Nazis, Zionists, or any supremacist groups, I will kick your teeth in.
Would anyone in the atla fandom be interested in some sandbender fanart depicting them in less racist ways? ie doing normal things in groups/familial scenes and replacing the bandage/mummy core with actual head wraps and cultural clothing?
I'm unfamiliar with writing commissions as a Visual artist, how do those usually work?
I like knowing solid turnaround times for any paid service and often check in either once every couple of days or weeks depending on the specific person/if they have a queue or not.
Is there any etiquette that's involved when it comes to commissioning a writer? (I'm assuming you would need to have reference materials, probably a lot more if it's writing like visual references/character writing stuff). And how do policies differ?
I'd really love insight into this world that's so close and yet so far from mine!
List of Foods I want to eat but they slowly get more and more concerning the hungrier I get (with commentary!):
A really big bowl of roasted brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale, and broccoli
Specifically if the bottoms of them are crisped up with Parmesan cheese. Basically this is just a family reunion of Brassica oleracea.
MY miso steamed egg recipe.
Miso paste is added into the water with the egg, add scraps of tofu, kelp, and scallions into the mixture. After it's done cooking I eat it with Lao Gan Ma chili oil from the jar paired with jasmine rice.
Bull testicles
Raw or fried! Honestly I'm more intrigued by them raw, they have a nice yellow colour to them that looks really good!
20 pounds of a crawfish boil
HAS to be my mom's recipe, she puts in curry paste as one of the seasonings. That being said I'm not weighing this by the crawfish with their shell on but the pure mass of edible parts. So like 40 pounds.
Mutton Pulao from the Indian place near my university
Not spicy. I can handle Thai, Lao, Korean, Chinese spicy; I cannot handle Indian spicy, it is genuinely one of the first terrible acts of hubris that has befallen me, I will not be making this mistake for the 5th time.
My usual order from the Indian Convenience store near my university
"Can I get a pistachio Kulfi, 2 chicken patties, some chicken tikka samose, ginger lime pop n gulpp, an Irani chai, and a chicken biryani?"
And it would be like 20 bucks total. Like this is the type of biryani that made me crunch on the bone to scoop out the marrow on multiple occasions.
Entire platter of Lamb Mandi and it's all for me
Look it up. The plates are huge.
Really hot and soft vegetables!
Preferably boiled so I can drink the water. Everything must be scalding.
Big plate of grilled chicken hearts
Should be like a small mound and lightly seasoned. On skewers.
Tater tots
A truly disgusting and exorbitant amount. Should induce sickness by the sight of it. They should have oil absorbed into them. No salt. Mayonnaise on the side.
7 chicken fried steaks
With mashed red potatoes and white gravy. Also rice. With gravy as well. I should not wish for such a thing for another 5 years.
Chicken fried chicken with fried pickles
I actually really fucking hate pickled foods usually. I won't refuse outright unless I try it first and most of the time I really don't like it. But today I tried fried pickles and they were pretty good!
I know we don't talk much but your ATLA art has been part of the inspiration of watching the series again for the first time since the original french run of the series. I'm also showing it to Baba!
AHHH hello Bleu!! Just because we haven't spoken much doesn't mean I don't remember you >:D!! /very positive
The thought of my silly Kuei art helping inspire an ATLA rewatch makes me ridiculously happy :"D (I'm watching the series in French as well, though it's for the first time/helping me learn).
I hope you and Baba have fun watching the series!!
Weird start I know, but recently when I also searched for King Kueis tag to see if there was anythin nwe, I remember seeing a post that was talking about a super cool headcanon or AU about Kuei!! who, in his escape from the Earth Kingdom, would travel back in time to when the series was just beginning!!
BUT AS SOON AS I TRY TO LOOK FOR IT AGAIN, I CAN'T FIND IT. BUT I'M SURE IT HAD LIKES AND THAT MORE PEOPLE SAW IT
Please tell me you saw it too. š
I think it's more like some of the Kuei tags aren't used as often as the others, so they don't show up!
I know which post you're talking about though, so I'm directing you to this link here!
Can i ask about Taishi and Suyin ? they so cuteā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø did he have sth about her or not ? and how she had a crush on him ? did Kuei , Vieng , other dai li agents knew that Suyin Likes Taishi ?
Have a great day ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Hello zhangg1609!! You absolutely CAN ask about Tashi and Suyin! Thanks so much for the ask and the kind words, let's get right into it!
About Tashi & Suyin
Does Tashi have feelings for Suyin or not?
Somewhat. I think Tashi thinks he's not interested in Suyin but he actually is. The feelings are reciprocated in some ways while not in others but I assure you he's just as stupid as Suyin in that department. Men in the Dai Li or just the palace in general seem to develop like a really weird level of emotional constipation.
Tashi finds Suyin beautiful, yes, like totally the cutest girl in the world -- but he thinks that's just because she's a consort and consorts are supposed to be beautiful so he thinks he's feeling this way about her because of that. Tashi likes Suyin's company because she's funny and stubborn and smart and kind and literally the perfect woman in his eyes -- but then he chops it up to himself just liking when people are nice to him because he's never had a girlfriend before.
How did Suyin develop feelings for Tashi?
Suyin has a type. That type just happens to be burly bad boys in uniforms -- the Dai Li and Palace Gaurds is RIDDLED with burly bad boys in uniform. But she knows that there's a difference between liking things for their aesthetics and supporting the things the Dai Li has done. Tashi is one of the newer agents. She likes that Tashi treats her gently and doesn't give her the impression that he's annoyed with her for talking too much, she likes that he tilts his head to whichever side she's on to show he's listening.
At the moment she knows this is just a crush since she hasn't gotten close to him in any way that matters to her but she knows she likes him enough to start learning sign language to talk to him on a closer level, since he's mute due to vocal chord damage when he was younger.
Does Kuei, Vieng, and the Dai Li know that Suyin likes Tashi?
The real question is... Who doesn't? Suyin isn't exactly subtle. She's only 20, she's stupid and painfully obvious in the way that 20 year olds who don't have their parents (who have had a chokehold on her since she was little) breathing over their every move are.
She kicks her feet and giggles in her bedroom if she saw Tashi that day or got a reaction out of him. She pretends to drop her handkerchief near Tashi so he could pick it up and if he doesn't she gets upset. She gives him sweets on his patrols because she doesn't know how else to show love to a "common man" and doesn't consider that his colleagues definitely saw her do that. She looks exceptionally gloomy and sad if she doesn't see him when she usually does.
Kuei
Kuei knows because she came to him for permission to at least pursue the man she likes. He said "yes, of course. You don't even have to ask, I know our arrangement, due to my circumstances, is a lonely one. Please see me as your ally instead of a husband you're bound to.". When he found out that the man she likes is a Dai Li Agent Kuei aged like 10 years from stress.
Vieng
Vieng honestly had his assumption that that Suyin liked Tashi, but it wasn't confirmed until she burst into the room crying and saying he (Tashi) hated her (his patrol route underwent the monthly change). Vieng's decent trait was that he minds his own damn business. Vieng genuinely doesn't know how anyone could find a Dai Li Agent or even muscular men as attractive (despite being a muscular man himself) since his type is men similar to Kuei.
The Dai Li
Honestly they knew before Tashi did. They're his brothers. They wear the same clothes, eat the same food, sleep in the same barracks, went through the same training. Sadly they're not much help when it comes to Tashi and Suyin's relationship because they're just as clueless as Tashi in what to do.
I hope these answers are okay! Hope you have a great day as well :)

CREATOR NOTES: This is my first fic I've written in a while! Please let me know what y'all think :"D (I'm shaking in my boots)
Vieng stared blankly at the man that lay next to him. The Earth Kingās breathing was steadying with little struggle other than the few aftershocks of what had transpired earlier that evening. A trembling hand blindly found its way to Viengās stomach. He became immediately irritated.
Well. Not really.
Itās just that he was damp and kind of sticky and smelled like what he could only describe as if someone ran a mile uphill and fell into a barrel of incense and perfume only to get rolled into sheets that were also damp and kind of sticky and now thereās a dead cold hand groping at him like he didnāt just let that man grab all he wanted a few minutes before.
āDuck?ā
Eurgh. Vieng grimaced for a split second at the pet name before smoothing his face into a sweeter expression as unfocused verdelite green met dark brown.
āKuei,ā Vieng responded, soft as rain.
Or. Well. As soft as he could muster considering there was a corpse hand situated at the heat of his stomach siphoning all of Viengās body heat into itself like a parasitic tick. But thatās what he gets for loving a man with cold hands.
āWould you be so kind?ā
Right. His glasses.
Vieng swatted around the rumpled sheets. Technically Kuei could easily find them himself; heās not completely useless without them ā at the same time heād mentioned that he feels naked without them despite the fact that heās naked as the day he was born at this very moment. He just likes making things harder for Vieng because stripping away his upbringing and titles, heās a bastard of a man. Something flat and round grazed his fingers.
Vieng fished out the shape and determined that yes, these were in fact spectacles ā before setting them on Kueiās nose, pinching the bridge in place. Kuei, now apparently less naked, let out a small sound of discomfort.
āThat was more force than necessary.ā Kuei frowned.
āWas it?ā
āYes.ā
āAh,ā Vieng feigned innocence. āAnd I thought it would be so kind of me to put them on for you.ā
Kueiās frown deepened before Vieng propped himself up, kissing it away. Deemed a suitable apology, the king returned his gesture in kind, cradling Viengās face. The cold had lessened to where Vieng allowed himself to lean into the touch for a moment before settling his body against Kueiās.
āYouāre so pretty,ā Kuei murmured fondly, fingers toying at a strand of Viengās hair.
āJust pretty?ā
Kuei seemed to consider it for a second, his head tilting slightly as his eyes looked up in thought. Apparently he was thinking to be mean.
āNo, I enjoy sticking my cock in the ugliest places imaginable. I am the least picky man alive when it comes to who warms my bed. Forgive me.ā
Viengās face flattened. Bastard.
āYouāre cruel,ā Vieng huffed, not moving away.
āYou were fishing.ā
āSo what if I was?ā
āYou could do a better job at hiding it,ā there was a laugh in the kingās voice. āMaybe then I would humour you.ā
āI humoured you enough with your dick up my ass, you horse-faced bastard.ā
āMm,ā the insult bounced off Kuei with little ceremony.
There was a pause between them other than soft breathing and Kueiās fingers threading through Viengās hair.
āIs it so bad to want to know Iām desired by my husband?ā Vieng mumbled.
Kueiās fingers stilled.
āYour husband?ā
Shit. Vieng immediately regretted saying that stupid word, not because it came for a soft vulnerable part of himself that still hasnāt been snuffed out, but rather that it was inaccurate to what they were and Kuei, that asshole, had a habit of pointing out inaccuracies. Like that one time Vieng said he liked green tea and Kuei with all his wisdom had said ā but youāre drinking jasmineā¦ ā and? ā You said you liked green tea, why are you drinking jasmine āI can still drink different teas and have a favorite, your majesty ā Yes but thatās not the point you couldāve just asked for green tea, we have green tea ā Are you fucking stupid or are you just trying to piss me off?
āForget it,ā he said too quickly.
Vieng shouldāve said boyfriend. Even if he was a grown ass man with a grown ass man and that word made him feel juvenile. Lover. Partner. Now heās probably going to hear Kuei say in that earnest voice of his paired with that little frown of concern; but weāre not married. Followed by what heās heard a million times before in his past relationships and clients he made the mistake of getting attached to; I thought you knew you were desired after what we did. Have you seen how others look at you? He then felt a thumb rub against his cheek.
āI believe your husband should be kinder towards you,ā Kuei whispered, soothing.
No, I should be kinder towards you.
āBecause my husband is as beautiful as the sun that rises over us. As luminous as the crystals that are under my very city,ā he continued. āI would be a fool to not tell him that he is the foundation of my very being and also the ever-all-consuming object of my desires. And that frivolous matters like this...ā
Kuei stopped speaking as if to let him connect the dots. Vieng stared as if he couldnāt believe what he heard, heat rising to his cheeks.
