ZKBB 2026 Poll
Hello, everyone! We've gotten some questions about whether we're planning on doing the big bang this year, and the mod team has been discussing it. As many of you know, an event like this takes months of prep work on top of running the actual event itself, and after doing so many in such a short amount of time, we're worried about getting burnt out to the point of not wanting to do it anymore at all.
That being said, we had an idea for an alternate event that could provide fun and camaraderie and an explosion of content for all of our favorite ship, but in a slightly different way: a reverse big bang.
What is a reverse big bang, you ask?
Where the regular big bang pairs artists and beta readers with writers to create art for a fic, a reverse big bang pairs writers and beta readers with artists to create stories based on the artist's work.
So, we've come here to ask everyone's opinion on whether everyone would be up for participating in a reverse big bang, or if the community would rather wait for a traditional big bang.
If we hosted a reverse big bang event where artists create an art piece and are paired with writers to create fics based on their work, would you be interested in participating?
Yes
No
Thank you for your input!
wow it’s been 9 years on tumblr already… times flies when you sporadically go on hiatus
Can we see zutara for #57 on the prompt asks?
"You're not as invisble as you think, you know?" a low voice cut through the darkness of the city when Katara, dressed as the Painted Lady, slowed her steps and leaned against the wall of an alley to take a breather after running from some daring immigrants to Ba Sing Se that had thought to test her status as a spirit rather than a human girl playing dress-up.
She uttered a soft shriek at the voice, spinning quickly, her hands diving for the water pouch she'd secured at her hip, uncorking it and preparing to Bend at the intruder on her solitude.
"Who's there?" she demanded, scanning the darkest shadows of the alley, trying to pinpoint where the voice had come from.
"Are you supposed to be a spirit of the Fire Nation?" the voice asked again, and Katara's gaze jerked up to the low-hanging roof of the building across the narrow alley.
She squinted until something moved in the shadows, blending seamlessly into the night, before a ghostly blue and white face appeared when a cloud overhead shifted just enough to cast the faintest moonbeam upon the speaker.
"The Blue Spirit," Katara whispered as her heart turned over inside her chest, fear and a little awe skittering through her veins like ants.
"Impersonating spirits is best done if you're not so... transparent in your bending abilities," he informed her quietly from the place where he crouched on the roof, folded up small, balanced precariously yet rock-steady, like he was a gargoyle designed to be there.
"And you know that from your own impersonations?" she appealed.
He didn't answer, and Katara really hoped it was someone dressed as a spirit and not an actual Blue Spirit she'd potentially just offended.
"Well, uh, thanks for the... critique? I guess?" she rambled a bit nervously when he didn't speak again, just remained perched there, that creepy, unmoving blue and white face watching her in silence. "I'll, uh, be going now."
She shuffled her feet, wondering if he would say or do anything else, wondering how long he'd been following her that he'd figured out she was human and a bender. Had he followed her while she'd been moving through the infirmaries where they took the injured refugees, healing those she could and trying to ease the troubles of those she couldn't? Was he a real spirit, after all?
He didn't say anything to her announcement, so Katara recapped her water skin and picked up the hem of her flowy skirts, where the day and the filth of the lower ring had soaked into it, and pulled it down, gravity desperate to pull it from her frame and into the mud along with everything else.
The hairs on the back of her neck prickled as she moved, and when she peered over her shoulder, the Blue Spirit was gone. Movement out of the corner of her eye snatched her attention, and she blanched to find he'd somehow silently jumped between rooftops and now walked along the one nearest to her, keeping pace with her as she made her way through the dark.
"Are you... a real spirit?" she whispered fearfully, wondering if she'd angered the spirits with her impersonation of one of their own. "You're so silent when you move..."
He only cocked his head again, letting the faint glow of a nearby candle in a neighbouring building's window cast shadows off his mask, and a chill spider walked down her spine. Shivering, Katara rubbed at the gooseflesh that prickled along her arms before hurrying to the mouth of the alley where it was better lit. The spirit kept pace with her, she noticed, eyes on him as she scuttled for a more populated area, like that might save her.
Only when she'd stepped out of the alley and back into the glowing streetlamps of the main road that led toward the gates back up to the middle ring did he stop, standing tall on the rooftop where he could remain in the shadows.
As Katara cast one last look at him before picking up her skirts, intending to run all the way back to the house she and her friends had been given in the middle ring, she heard his voice float to her on the breeze one last time.
"Goodnight.... Katara."
ID: Katara and sokka in swimgear. in the first image, sokka is searching for something in the water. his hair getting wet. katara leans over to him saying "don't you think, its time for a haircut?" in the second image sokka rose form the water, a dog-shark creature in hand, swinging his hair in Katara face splashing her. smugly he says "no <3". End ID

There are still so much I need to revise (like the color is too saturated irl) & some blank spots, but I do plan to sell it later, if anyone interested. Maybe after Eid (in March).

Thank you ❤️
My full piece for @catstealers-zines‘ Korrasami fanzine! Korra returns the favor and does her girlfriend’s hair. =)
[Image Description: Digital artwork of Korra and Asami Sato. They are in a room in the Air Temple Island complex with a sunny, partly-cloudy sky visible out an octagonal window behind them. Korra sits in her wheelchair, wearing her fancy dress Water Tribe clothing and her long hair partly done up in a bun, smiling softly down at Asami. Asami is seated on the floor in front of her in her red dress, her back to Korra. She looks up over her shoulder towards Korra with a smile as Korra pulls back some of her hair, a hairpin in one hand. /end ID]
"Behind Closed Doors"
A moment of peace after a long day.

A piece I made for the 2025 Zutara Gift Exchange over on Ao3!
Here is the other piece I did for the exchange
Happy New Year💖🎆🎉🥳
thank purpleplatypusbear for the tip.
katara breaks into a FN prison to rescue innocent villagers, Zuko breaks in to get intel from a prisoner about the Avatar. They reluctantly need each other to avoid being captured.
This is an art piece from the Zutara gift exchange event.🥰Thank you all for organizing such an incredible event!!!! @zkgiftexchange
First time participating in such a fun event—thanks for the reminder, @phoebester So glad you thought of me!!
Then, yes. her Blue Spirit articles and Snow Stories are absolutely fantastic! If you're interested, go check them out!😉
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
I was pondering how, when faced with the predicament of being discovered yet forced to share a hiding place, Katara proved more courageous and quicker to react! She acted almost without thinking! I imagine she scarcely realised what she was doing, while Zuko's heartbeat quickened! Not from fear of being found! But because she was so close to him! Caught him off guard.
Honestly, I agonized over the timeline for ages 🤣. I figured this should happen in Season 2, but I struggle with drawing short hair—never felt comfortable with it. So I decided to just go with it when I found a great angle for the wooden cabinet! No more overthinking!Alright, this might be the longest thing I've ever written, haha. I originally planned to include the novel too, but I'm still not skilled enough—English is a bit challenging for me. Most of my writing is just for my own enjoyment, and I don't feel my writing skills are quite up to par. But I've been feeling happy and have some free time these past couple of days, so maybe this year I'll try posting something 😉
Participating in events is always a joy, and I hope everyone enjoys a fulfilling, happy, and joyful new year.🥰🥰💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
If you like it, please let me know. Thank you all!🫶🫶
