Day 2: Izumi

Izumi's first steps

based on this fic by @beepboopbitch

[Image ID: Image is a digital drawing of Zuko, Izumi and Mai. Zuko is shown at the left crouching on one knee with his arms extended and wearing full fire lord regalia. He is smiling and viewed from the side. Mai is shown at the left also crouching on her knees and holding onto baby Izumi who is facing her father and tentatively trying to walk. The scene takes place in a closed courtyard with yellow fans on the walls. End ID](image ID by @bluberry-spicehead )

Daily reminder that Iroh II doesn't have a canon age and the Wiki pulled the age they use from an episode commentary about a joke from a scrapped storyline, where Mako was speculating Iroh's age "what? He's like 36!" and that contradicts Asami ("I'm 29, wait how old are you?") and Mako's ("19!") canon ages (both 18).

Iroh's whatever age you want him to be.

@maikoweek day 2: izumi

[ID: a coloured digital drawing of izumi as a toddler. she is on her back, sleeping on purple sheets that are rucked up under her. her hair is dark and shiny and spread out under her head. she is wearing a red firenation style shirt, a gold belt and blue trousers with footies. she is sleeping on young druk, a red dragon, that is curled around her, his head resting on her outstretched arm. with her hand she is loosely holding a large dragon’s egg. tucked under her other arm is a smaller green dragon, head resting on izumi’s side.

a second image shows a sketch of mai and zuko on a red background. zuko’s hair is long and loose, he is crying and smiling. mai has her eyes closed and is saying ‘call for the royal portrait artist, immediately!’ END ID]

[fuego-nation]

[ID: A traditional colourless sketch. Mai and Zuko are adults, Izumi is a child. Mai and Zuko are only seen from the waist up, but they are presumably walking down a hall. Zuko is carrying Izumi bridal style in his arms. Her head is resting against Zuko’s chest. She appears to be sleeping, though the following dialogue implies she is faking it. Mai is smiling and has her hands folded in front of her. She is looking at Zuko and says, “How long are you going to fall for that?” Zuko is smiling and looking at Mai. Zuko says, “I don’t know what you mean”. End ID]

Fall Maiko Week 2020 - Day Two: Izumi

You ever do that thing as a kid where you pretend to be asleep just so your parents will carry you from the car? Yeah. How long do you think Izumi will be able to keep tricking Zuko?

@maikoweek Day 1 - Childhood

[Image ID: Image is a digital drawing of Mai and Zuko as children. Approximately age eight. Mai is shown to the left looking down. Her hair is tied into buns. She and Zuko are shown from the shoulders up. Zuko is to her right and looking towards her, to viewer's left. End ID]

[fuego-nation]

okay sometimes i see posts like "zuko and suki headcanons!! *proceeds to describe mai and zuko's canon relationship*" and i can't exactly articulate why this irks me but it's very off-putting

[fuego-nation]

ID: digital artwork of Mai and Zuko as children. Mai is wearing her traditional child dark robes and Zuko is wearing his child robes. they are sitting under a tree in the fire place courtyard. they're holding hands and blushing looking away from eachother. END ID.

Really hope I did the ID thing for screen readers right if I didn't let me know I've never done one before! Anyways, I haven't participated in Maiko week before, and seeing as I had time I figured I'd at least try. Not sure if I'll get to all of the prompts but I'm gonna try my best. These two are my favorite couple ever in I seriously love them.

The prompt today was childhood.

My submission for @maikoweek​ Fall Maiko Week 2020 Day One: Childhood is up!!

[fuego-nation]

[fuego-nation]

[ID: A traditional colourless sketch of Mai, Zuko, and Azula as children. Azula has her hands on her hips and is smirking. She says, “are you wearing makeup?” Mai has her hands out in front of her, signalling her to stop. She has slightly bolder eyelashes, as if she is wearing eyeliner, and blush on her cheeks. She has a nervous expression and is looking behind her at Zuko. She says, “shhh! Azula! Not so loud”. Zuko is in the background behind Mai. He has three question marks above his head and a confused expression. End ID]

Fall Maiko Week 2020 - Day One: Childhood

Happy Maiko week! Thank you so much to @maikoweek for hosting. Here we have little Mai trying to use makeup to impress Zuko, and little Azula blowing up her plans.

Zuko looks a bit older than I intended but that’s because I literally don’t know how to draw children of different ages. That’s my bad

[fuego-nation]

ayo i have smth maybe controversial to say ab zukka. for years zutara has been getting shit bc ppl didnt know how to act right and wld write slave fics, imperialist bullshit which is fair and rightful. but a lot of yall are doing the same thing to zukka. u cant claim to hate zutara on the grounds of ‘shippers are weird’ (which again!!! fair claim!! bc ive seen the worst of it - i KNOW), but then do the SAME EXACT THING w zukka!!! heads up!!!!! the imperialist connotations surrounding sokka becoming a fire prince/lord only is the same w firelady!katara. the slave fics, the abandonment of his culture, etc. is just as bad when its zukka. just bc its ~gay~ doesnt take that away.

tldr; if u cant create zukka content without being an asshole dont.

Fire lord Azula with her niece and heir Izumi.

Because the world needs more post-redemption Azula being a good aunt and role model to Izumi.

Edit: As pointed out by anon, I have to clarify something. The forehead markings on Azula and Izumi are not bindis from India. They’re huadian from China and there for purely decorative purposes.
