How to write kids, if you don't remember being one or haven't lived with any

1. Kids never feel as small as you see them. A three year old thinks a one year old is a baby and a six year old is grown up. A six year old thinks a three year old is a baby and a twelve year old is an adult. Age is about perspective. One year is a huge age difference to a little kid.

2. Little kids might not be conscious of their physical limitations, but they can still be frustrated by them. A seven year old might see an adult do something relatively simple, like draw a straight line or perfectly crack an egg, and try to do the same thing, only to be frustrated when it doesn't work.

Imagine suddenly having an injury that makes a skill you use every day become difficult- you feel you should be able to do the thing, and you understand the thing should be easy for you, but it isn't. It can be immensely frustrating to have a brain that grasps a concept that language or fine motor skills haven't caught up to.

3. You know when you forget a word, and have to make something up on the fly to describe the word? That's pretty much exactly what learning your first language is like.

You know what you intend, but you don't have a way to express it, and it can move you to tears with frustration when everyone around you is suggesting the wrong thing, or seems completely certain they understand what you mean, and they don't.

You don't have a word for "Later"? You might try saying "next time", or, "after", or, "before tomorrow".

This might result in saying, "Are we going to the park next time?", "Are we going to the park before tomorrow?", or, "Are we going to the park after?", all of which can result in different answers.

4. Kids feel like adults are a different species. They don't get why we do certain things, and they don't understand why we don't want to run around with them all the time.

If sitting still is boring, coffee tastes bitter, and long conversations only happen with weird-smelling strangers who talk to them like they're stupid, then they truly will not understand why anyone would *want* to be left to have coffee with a friend without welcome distractions to make it bearable.

Aren't you bored? You aren't doing anything. How could you possibly be stimulated without any food or toys or music or anything? Why don't you just leave? Do you *have* to be there, the way you had to go to work? Adults are weird.

5. Children have complex social relationships that are just as varied as yours.

A room full of third graders might look like indiscriminate chaos to an adult, but pick a well connected kid, and they'll tell you that Megan is the fashion icon who can do hair really well, Thomas is the athlete, Gray gets mean when he has to share so nobody wants to play with him, Paisley can't read and the boys make fun of her for it so don't make her work in a group with Anthony, Dillon put a bug in their food once so they'll never trust him again, and Matthew's parents let him watch family guy so he says bad words and makes grown-up jokes that make other kids uncomfortable.

You don't see this stuff because you aren't inside the society. They are, and they do.

6. Time. Moves. So. Slow. Five minutes really does feel like half an hour. Sit still for five minutes? That's like you sitting in a waiting room at the DMV for an hour. Wouldn't you get annoyed and impatient? They haven't learned to hide their irritation yet. That's really the only difference.

7. "Reading in your head" requires understanding that you have a Voice, which people can hear, and Thoughts, which are audible only to yourself. This can be a difficult concept to grasp. If a kid is reading out loud, and you tell them to read quietly, there's a good chance they're going to whisper or mouth the words instead of going totally silent the way you might. Splitting the self into multiples like "Internal monologue VS public perception" or "What I look like VS how I think I look" is alien and bizarre. If a kid thinks they look like a Dragon and you laugh at them? Ouch. They might be mad for a while.

8. Repetitive chores make no sense when your awareness of time doesn't extend beyond a week or so. Why should I wash my blankets? They don't look dirty and I don't smell anything bad. Blankets don't get dirty unless you put dirt on them. If you put a blanket in a washer, you can't use that blanket AT ALL the ENTIRE TIME it's being cleaned. That might be an hour, but it will *feel* like a week. And you have to do that every two weeks?? That's overkill. Why even bother?

9. Kids have opinions about adults. They will have a sense about whether an adult is "real-kind" or "fake-kind". An adult who listens respectfully to what they have to say, asks thoughtful questions, and takes their concerns seriously? That's a good adult. An adult that oversimplifies their struggles, ignores their complex social rules, and gives bullshit advice like "just walk away from bullies" and "turn your chores into a fun game"? That's not a trustworthy adult. That's an Adult™. An Adult™ doesn't consider them to be a real human being with thoughts and emotions. An Adult™ sees them as an inferior, amusing pet. And they will actively sabotage An Adult™ like that.

10. Emotions are physical at a young age. Joy might make their body buzz until they can't help but wiggle or jump around. Sadness might be a huge physical pain in their throat and heart. Everything they experience is still relatively.New to.them, so there is very little frame of reference to decide if this is a "big hurt that will last forever and ever and never go away", or a "small hurt, that can be fixed easily and won't matter in five minutes". If someone lies to them about getting a cookie, that very well might be all the betrayal of your best friend sleeping with your husband.

Fortunately, a child probably won't be able to burn all your clothes in the yard without your notice.

bruno posting beep beepp

[oglilsharty]

Bruno probably has fleas.

That's it. That's the post.

[oglilsharty]

Part two to this post! Since I have so many ideas!

-Isa trying to connect with mirabel through embroidery and accidentally breaking a project she was working for a long time so she has to get the other grandkids to figure what to do before mirabel sees it

-Bruno has to make some sort of speech in front of a bunch of people and he getting extremely anxious about it so some of his family tries to do stuff with him the that calms them down but it just makes him worse

-The kids arguing on who's bruno's favorite niece/nephew

-Lusia and isa being put in charge of decorating Antonio birthday and they have very separate ideas that more cater to there style than anotonios

-Pepa having a mother daughter day with Dolores

-Alma trying to reconnect with mirabel but only knows stuff she liked before she was 5

-Camilo is asked by so many people to be them at different places at different times that he starts confusing the stories together to the point where hes shifting as the wrong people at the wrong events causing mass confusion in the town

-Mirabel gets hurt in a way that's almost fatal so her older siblings and cousins don't let her go anywhere or do anything without one of them breathing down her neck

-All the kids getting sick and having there powers go haywire and the only adult around to help is felix

-Bad things start to happen around the town ie. crops dying, farm animals being eaten by wild ones, weather knocking homes down. Some villagers start to believe its because of the return of bruno. Camilo, isa and mirabel try to figure what's the real reason is.

-There is a town event where everyone competes against eachother in teams of three. Each set of madrigal siblings decide to compete and get way to competitive.

-Antonio making one of those extremely complatied and hard to follow board games kids make. He makes his family play it and everyone gets way to invested

-Dolores trying to avoid spoilers for a book shes looking forward to reading until she can get home

-Its someone in the families birthday and this time they decide to mix up who usually does things for the party (example julieta-baking, isa-decrorating, Dolores- presents, etc) only for everything to go horribly and everyone that got assigned a new task does it horribly wrong

-Isa dragging her sisters for a spa day of sorts

-Flashback episode to the triplets teen years

-A sherlock spoof episode where things keep going missing in the village and camilo forces lusia to be his "watson" and the "good cop"

-The triplets first birthday since bruno disappearances. Both pepa and julieta want it to be a big celebration with the whole town while bruno just wants it to be a family thing

-Some one tries to kidnap one of the madrigal so they can make money off there power only for them to pick up mirabel. Mirabel messes with them until her family finds her

Bonus: sometimes when bruno is doing something where hes waiting for another character to appear or hes not the main focus you can hear him humming "we don't talk about bruno"

Pepa meeting Felix on one stormy evening (caused by her powers). Felix being new to town and spotting Pepa out in the rain. With no hesitation he’d run out towards Pepa who’s sitting on the fountain and offers her an umbrella. “You shouldn’t be out here durning a storm like this.” Felix would say and Pepa would just stare at him thinking ‘Is he dumb’ & ‘Who is this guy’. Felix not bothered by Pepa’s lack of response would start talking to her and soon walk her home while still shielding her from the rain. As they continued towards Casita the sky starts to clear and the sun slowly shines through. By the time they’ve made it at the front door there’s a rainbow over the house. Felix wouldn’t know about Pepa’s powers till the next time he sees her. Nonetheless I think I’d be cute if he didn’t know at first and when he does he doesn’t care. Cause those powers of her’s helped him meet the love of his life.

Azula: Remember the time you dared me to lick the swing set?

Zuko: No. I said ‘Azula, don’t lick the swing set.’ Then you said ‘Don’t tell me what to do.’ Then you licked the swing set.

I really think we should talk about how good marcy's snow outfit

girlfriends in dope armor 💗💚

[oglilsharty]

I made myself laugh while making this more than I'd like to admit.

Check out my other zukka high school au fanart here!

(The pictures are from Flickr! Though, I did do some constructing on my own, so the pics of the memes and the posters on Sokka's wall are from Google Images. This was so fun to make!)

[ID: A digital comic of Iroh and Zuko. The backgrounds are from real life of a sunlit house. Iroh says, “Welcome home, Zuko!” Zuko says, “Oh, hey Uncle.” He looks at his phone, which pings. It is a snapchat of Sokka’s eyes and lips on a lemon. The caption says, “No Jet please keep talking.” Sokka’s name is ‘Pest.’ Zuko laughs, and Iroh looks at him in surprise. He asks, “What are you looking at? A chapsnat? Zuko hides his phone and says, “Snapchat, Uncle. And it’s nobody. Um, I mean, nothing!” Iroh thinks, “nobody??” Then he gasps and says, “Zuko, did you make a friend?” Iroh tries to look at Zuko’s phone. “What do they look like? Do they like tea?” Zuko shoves him off and says, “NO! STOP, UNCLE, LEAVE ME ALONE” He slams his door. A beat passes, then he opens it and says angrily, “His name is Sokka, and he is not my friend.” He closes his door again while Iroh smiles fondly. Later, Zuko and Sokka are in their respective rooms, texting on their phones. It is 2:00 am. Zuko is leaning on his bed while Sokka is wrapped up in his blanket with Momo sleeping on top of him. His wall is covered in posters and pictures. Sokka’s phone has a picture of Zuko smiling with a juicebox as his texting profile. His name is ‘ZUwUko.’ Zuko sends a meme of Woody from Toy Story. Sokka texts, ‘hehehheggeke,’ then sends a picture of Mike Wazowski with two eyes. Sokka loves Zuko’s response (‘kill it’) and then texts, ‘Hey Zuko, can I ask you something?’ On Zuko’s phone, Sokka’s profile is him making a weird face and his name is ‘Sock.’ Zuko texts, ‘Yes, of course.’ Sokka says, ‘um so, I was wondering.’ Zuko says, ‘...yes? What???’ Sokka says, ‘so uh, um’ Zuko’s heart is thumping fast. He texts, ‘Sokka, this is texting, not speaking. Just type it already.’Sokka texts, ‘wanna see pics of a cow eye I dissected in anatomy today’ Zuko texts, ‘wtf, no??’ Sokka texts, ‘shawty I think u do.’ Zuko texts, ‘no, I really don’t. no. Sokka. I SAID NO, STOP STOP SOKKA.’ The ellipses on Sokka’s end imply that he is sending the picture anyway. End ID.]

Okay so idk if YouTuber aus are still a thing anymore but fuck it.

Zukka modern au but it's still set in the atla-verse. Sokka is a YouTuber who probably has idk a popular gaming channel or something I guess, he seems like he'd be That Guy

He talks about his boyfriend sometimes but never in much detail. Like it's just.

"Did I ever tell you about the time my boyfriend brought home like 8 baby turtleducks?"

"My boyfriend's uncle owns a tea shop and as much as I'm a coffee kinda guy, that is the good shit right there."

During a live stream: "DRUK! GET DOWN FROM THERE!" *spray bottle noises* "Sorry, my boyfriend's dragon keeps getting on the table." (Zuko, off-camera: HE'S OUR DRAGON, SOKKA.)

(Dragons are much less rare in this au bc I said so)

It's all very vague. Not purposely, really, it's just that he never has a reason to go into the details of his relationship, as much as he loves Zuko that's not what his channel is about. But then one day he's doing a live stream and he mentions that he's a trained swordsman and half the comments are just something along the lines of "prove it"

And Sokka is not one to refuse a challenge

"HEY JERKBENDER, GET IN HERE! AND BRING YOUR SWORDS!"

Zuko wins the ensuing match, of course, but it's a close one. Later, Sokka's followers will consider apologizing for ever doubting him, but right now all the comments are some variation of "IS THAT THE FUCKING FIRELORD"

Avatar Water/Fire swap AU

Idk I saw a post where someone swapped Katara and Zuko with Azula and Zuko and I can’t some thinking about what the rest of that universe would look like. Everyone for the most part has retained their abilities, but the roles have been switched. Earth and Air are mostly the same.

-Book One: Fire

-Eastern and Western Fire Tribes, along the equator where the sun is at its most powerful

-Everything changed when the Water Nation attacked, led by Water Lord Hakoda. The Water Nation is located on an archipelago, but with atolls instead of volcanic islands.

-Azula and Zuko of the Eastern Fire Tribe find Aang, when Azula gets mad at Zuko and blows up the entrance to a cave (Aang earthbent himself into it and stayed in a stasis for 100 years). 

-Azula is the last firebender of the Eastern Fire Tribe. Their Uncle Iroh left with all the other men to fight in the war. Her mother was killed by the Water Nation.

-Zuko is a nonbender and Sokka is a waterbender

-Prince Sokka spoke out against his father and had his eye watersmacked out or something. Sokka was banished to find the Avatar, with Kanna in the Iroh role

-Instead of a comet, the Water Lord used a meteor shower that gives people the power of a hundred waterbenders to wipe out the Air Nomads.

-Aang has to master all four elements before next winter when the meteor shower returns

-Bato swapped with Zhao. Bato spends the first season hunting down the gaang. The Gaang finds Zhao and helps him reunite with their Uncle, Chief Iroh. 

-Pakku is the deserter, Aang wants to try to learn waterbending from him but hurts Azula

-Jeong Jeong is the firebending master when they reach the Western Fire Tribe. Azula fights him when he refuses to train her.

-Sokka disguises himself as the Moon Spirit to commit crimes. He uses two boomerangs as his weapons.

-Bloodbending swapped with lightning bending (more in later seasons)

-this should be a good time to point out I do not think an Azula x Aang romance would happen. This isn’t a complete swap.

-Also I guess in this version, the cycle goes backwards, so Aang learns the elements as air, fire, earth, water. Which means this new cycle Kyoshi, Korra, Aang, Roku? idk. I think it would be cool to see Korra as Aang’s avatar guide.

-Zuko falls in love with Princess Mai of the Western Fire Tribe

-Admiral Bato kills the Sun Spirit, causing a solar eclipse. Aang fuses with the Flame spirit to get rid of the Water Nation armada. The Sun and the Flame spirits are small dragons that circle each other. 

-Princess Mai sacrifices herself to become the Sun. (Post Sokka redemption, Zuko comments that his first girlfriend turned into the sun. Sokka says “that’s rough buddy”)

-After Sokka failed to capture the Avatar, Water Lord Hakoda sends his daughter, waterbending prodigy, Princess Katara, to find her brother and grandmother

Idk those are just some ideas for season one, probably will do the other seasons at some other point (maybe eventually the sequel series, the Legend of Roku? Mayhaps?) If anyone makes fics/art based on this please let me know it would be so groovy.

[oglilsharty]

Zuko: Uncle, I’m trans.

Iroh: Really? That’s amazing! So am I!

Zuko: Uncle, I’m bisexual.

Iroh: That’s wonderful! I’m so glad you’ve found and accepted yourself.

Zuko: Uncle, I don’t really like tea that much.

Iroh: *spit take* You fucking WHAT

[oglilsharty]

zukka enemies to roommates au

Sokka slammed his head on the cafe table, the noise swallowed up by the chattering of other customers. “I’m being EVICTED,” he moaned.

Katara raised her eyebrows as she drank her tea and then placed it back on the table. “Why?”

Sokka dragged his head up against the table until his chin was the only thing touching the wood and Katara made a face, no doubt thinking of all the germs that were now rubbed into Sokka’s face like lotion. Sokka couldn’t bring himself to care. He was too deep in his despair. “The landlord sold the building. And now I only have two weeks to move because everything around here is so fucking expensive and I got discouraged so I put it off—“

“Move in with Zuko!”

“…like I put everything—what did you just say?”

Keep reading
