Zuko is not used to the concept of holding hands, so Sokka offers to teach him.

say what now?

[ID: a three panel comic featuring Sokka and Zuko from Avatar the Last Airbender. In the first panel, Sokka nervously rubs the back of his neck. "Sorry I keep rambling," he says.

"It's fine," Zuko responds, resting his chin on his hand and smiling softly. "I like listening to you."

Sokka freezes for a moment, staring with wide eyes, a blush on his cheeks. In the background, a line showing his heartbeat sputters. "W-What?" he says. /End ID.]

Do you have any really specific and/or personal Zukka headcanons that you’d be okay with sharing? I eat up every hc you put into your drawings like they’re candy, I was wondering if you had any others :D :D

OH boii i sure have,,, nothing coherent is coming to mind atm so ill just expose my Extensive backstories of zukka bethrotal armbands that idk if i will find a way to sneak into art.

sokka’s armband for zuko is forged back at Piandao’s mansion, and it's one of the most fine stunning pieces of jewelry ever crafted. it’s not the usual southern ivory but metal, more similar to the armbands worn as an accessory in the fire nation. it’s made of intertwining bands of gold and black meteor metal, with patterns of waves and dragon scales that seem to ripple and move when the light catches on them just right. and the pendant is a traditional blue stone from the swt.

There are no particular engagement gifts traditions in the fn, so zuko goes on a deep dive into southern water tribe ones, asking sokka’s family and friends about jewelry making and learning to engrave over the course of several trips to the swt. He makes sokka’s armband with ivory from his own first (successful) solo hunt. i’m not sure abt the material of the pendant lmao maybe gold? but amber would also be cool methinks

as for the pendant engraving they display a unique single braincell moment (untrue i just want them to match). love the fact that both of them are sea savvy navigators, love to think that in their pining era they spent a lot of time watching the stars and showing each other the different constellations and navigation pointers of their nations, so in both of their armbands’ stones are depicted the constellation used to guide sailors back home, sokka engraving the swt’s one on zuko’s armband and vice versa.

if they were sun’s out guns out kinda guys before this only gets worse during the first weeks of their engagement. shirts are banned. everyone look at the bethrotal armbands NOW.

just a reminder that azulas hair arc is just as important to her character as zukos is to his

her first real intro draws attention to the perfection of her hair (“only one hair out of place”)

after ty lee and mai betray her, while she’s attacking the western air temple & zuko, her hair frays and she eventually pulls out her hairpin to catch herself on the cliff side, a hint at the self destruction she’s willing to endure to achieve her goal

and ofc when she becomes firelord and has her psychotic episode, she cuts her hair into a ragged mess

zukos arc is about rejecting the original idea of what honor is and coming to and achieving your own sense of honor, and azulas is about failing to achieve perfection and losing control of yourself in the process. the evolution of their hair shows this so well—zukos is just more obvious

[selaphina]

I’m kind of surprised that no one has brought up the beach episode. “Letting her hair down” for the first time, intentionally in front of peers marks her genuine curiosity and lack of ulterior motives with everyone. And an overlooked part of this episode is when Chan shoots down her advances. This is the only time we really see her get any normal push back on how she acts which she internalizes in a healthy way(until arson ending).

She’s obviously disappointed and introspective afterwards and goes looking for her brother. And later she brings up her mom unprompted by her friends showing her real fears of being a “monster” for the first time. When Mai pushes her in boiling rock and Ozai snaps at her before the invasion she can’t handle it because she’s still adhering to her princess actions so her princess-do unravels. If only she’d kept her hair down then she could’ve taken the path to redemption(and kept a nice haircut).
