[ID: an animated gif showing a red square with moving glitter and a blue square with moving glitter side-by-side, split in half by the silhouette of a violin. on either side of the violin is the title “put your emptiness to melody” in bold font. above the title, within the red square, is the word “zukkau.” end ID]

put your emptiness to melody: 

Zuko had everything: a life, a family, a seat as a first violinist in one of the world’s most famous orchestras.

He had everything—until he didn’t.

And he’ll stop at nothing to get it back.

or, an orchestra au where Zuko is recovering from a near career-ending injury, Piandao is trying his hand at match-making, and Sokka just wants everyone to appreciate the viola.

Hello, Zukka here 🖐️

Day 1 

1, 2, 3, 4

[hiddenramen-deactivated20250513]

it’s really funny seeing that “all that pain and misery and loneliness and it only made you kind” quote used on wei wuxian because like… he became a heretical necromancer who tortured his enemies into carving their living own bodies up and eating it i’m—

[littlebigmouse]

As someone who has never seen the untamed I’m starting to feel like I have gotten a very skewed picture of what happens in this show.

[hiddenramen-deactivated20250513]

several thousand people and a main character die within the first 10 minutes

[fairy-anon-godmother]

I’m halfway through and until this moment I’d genuinely forgotten the flash…back? Forward? Sideways? Of the first ten minutes. The show literally plops you down in the ‘throw the ring into the lava Frodo!’ climax and then says ‘we’re not addressing any of that’, flashes forward sixteen years to the most confusing resurrection this particular necromancer has ever been a part of, spends two episodes fighting monsters and introducing a bunch of adults who are all Very Angry At Each Other and their awful students, and then cuts backwards sixteen years to a summer high school academic camp.

By the end of the third episode you start to feel like you just speed ran all the Star Wars trilogies in order of release. Time is a myth. But the bouncing young teenager who will one day wake up very confused, back from the dead and sixteen years late to the end of The Return of the King (and sans Starbucks cup too, sadly) looks very sweet and it seems like it’ll be fun to spend more time with him.

So let the romcom commence! - Oh No.

[canongf-archive]

i’m thinking about a fictional character and i’m gonna make it everyone else’s problem

[frownyalfred]

me: god if this author doesn’t update I’m going to DIE

also me, an author with several WIPs:

[zukkau]

The reasons why I only watched 5 minutes:

- I was at work. (Tbh I only wanted to check if its on Netflix in my country...)

- I have somewhat a hard time following the dialogue if the only thing I have to work with are subtitles in a language I'm not native in, so it'll take some time...

But yeah! I want to know what's up with the dead dude and the other one!

WHATS UP WITH THE DEAD DUDE AND THE OTHER ONE PLEASE 💀💀💀

that’s fair, it took me a couple episodes to become adjusted to it but now i like forget i’m even reading subtitles and i love the cadence of their speech like everything about it i just ugh i love it so much if u ever give it another shot i promise it’s so worth it

[zukkau]

Convinced me to watch Untamed... I've seen gifs of it and love the aesthetic but that's pretty much all I know

YES PLEASE WATCH IT!!!! i also loved the aesthetic after seeing gifs on here so i finally was like i’ll try it and bro.... i slid so fast down this rabbit hole it’s not even funny 😭

[zukkau]

I literally only watched about 5 minutes of the untamed... But I took one look at the Zuko sketch and was like "looks like that other dude". Then I read your tags and "yeah, yeah, that one!"

IM YELLING ANSNJSJS i’m the most shocked tho that you only watched 5 minutes of it like how were u able to stop 👀
