"I actually kind of like you"

This blog celebrates the relationship between Zuko and Mai from the Avatar franchise through various media! The beautiful fanart on our sidebar was done by la-vaniteuse. We are partnered with Two Warriors In One and Shaping the Clouds! ♥

hi :) will you post again when korra book 4 airs? i hope we'll get some flashbacks from zuzu's past :) watching his daughter im not sure if he married mai though :( or maybe he had some divorces and new marriages hehe - id like it as well tbh.

If there are Mai/Zuko content, we'll try to! We actually think she looks a lot like Mai and we love the glasses. We're excited to learn more about her. Not sure how we'd feel about divorces and new marriages, Zuko just does not seem like the type.

Summary: A private moment in what is one of the most public days in the postwar Royal Family’s life. Shameless fluff. Implied Maiko, but what else were you expecting, really?

“What if I’m not ready?” The question leaves her mouth before she can stop it.

I don't hate you either.

Hi! We (idonthatemaiko) host each year on May a Maiko Appreciation Month, where we have themes/prompts, people submit fan-art, fan-fics, etc. And other stuff. I am just sending you this ask, to say that we are going to make a list for our followers and that has all the Maiko Appreciation Blogs on tumblr. And you are going to be featured on it. Check out our blog for more info, or simply send us an ask. :)

Thank you! It sounds like fun. i'll publish this ask so it's advertised.

Again, thank you!

I’m up early putting the last pieces in place for my lecture at RISD (tonight, 10/14/13 at 7:00 in the Main Auditorium) and I came across this forgotten gem that I inked in 2007. I always imagined Mai kept giving the royal portrait artist the same note, over and over: “More black.”

Do you think Maiko gets the hate, and also love, it gets because of its emphasis on body language? Like Zuko and Mai don't really say 'I love you' or anything affectionate like that, but you can tell they do because they're always close together. It's kind of non-traditional romance in a way.

How physical Mai/Zuko are with each other is such a breath of fresh air for fictional couples on-screen (animated or not) and I think it’s definitely one of the factors for people liking them so much. As for “hate”, well I guess it really depends on the person. If they’re advocates of the traditional way of courtship or not is really up to the person and it may or may not affect their perceptions of the ship. Maiko gets hate for other reasons, though-- reasons best left unsaid. ^^

that’s little something I wanted to draw before I left into the ‘almost no internet’ and ‘definitely no tablet and digital drawing’ zone, sigh

I wanted to make Zuko more ‘The Promise’ inspired look, since I actually really love it. who cares they broke up in The Promise anyway

but these two’d better get back together because I will get mad otherwise D:

I always love it when Maiko appears on my dash.

“You didn’t leave anyone behind you care about?” “Well, I did have a girlfriend. Mai.”

“You miscalculated. I love Zuko… more than I fear you.”

Mai: Zuko, it’s just a dumb meeting. Who cares? Zuko: I don’t. Mai: Well good. You shouldn’t. Why would you even want to go? Just think about how things went to the last war meeting you went to. Zuko: I know.
