#Iroh

[raidesart]

Turtle Ducks ^^ Took my time to create a more detailed piece in the last couple of days! I recently rewatched Avatar and really enjoyed all the scenes where Zuko and Iroh were featured! It made me so nostalgic, so I decided to paint this as an homage to these awesome characters! Hope you like it :)

people tend to talk more about the doll iroh gives azula as a spoil of war that directly illustrates iroh’s attitude of colonial paternalism, but there’s something so fascinating to me about how iroh gives zuko a knife that says “made in earth kingdom” on one side and “never give up without a fight” on the other, reducing a call to action, direct resistance through any means necessary, into an abstract, inspirational quote. a weapon that symbolizes the strength of a nation of resist imperialist conquest/colonial occupation is put in the hands of a ten year old who has no way of truly understanding the implications of that slogan. of course, zuko eventually does come to understand, and he does refuse to give up without a fight, as does iroh, but at the time that iroh gives zuko the knife, he is perverting that symbol of revolutionary action & resistance into a colonial artifact, a mere child’s plaything, its blade dulled and its power denied through the act of gifting it to the sheltered prince of the nation against whom they are fighting. yes, zuko has his own fight, and must face his own struggles, and he is largely defined by his persistence, so it’s easy to forget what this knife means within its original cultural context: “made in earth kingdom” isn’t just a dismissive joke, it’s also a grave reminder of who iroh was, what his “gifts” represent, and where they came from.

Shit in the atla fandom we need to talk about more

Azula is a victim of abuse just like zuko and deserved better than what happend in the comics (she's younger than zuko and was groomed by her father)

Aang is not one dementional, he's not all sunshine and rainbows, hes not all naïve

Iroh, we can always talk more about iroh, lets never stop talking about him

Holy fucking shit these young teenagers and kids were masters. Toph is 12 she is a master before we even meet here, aang is (1)12 he is a master before we meet him. Katara is 14 she is a master. Azula is 14 she is a master. Zuko is a master at 16. What the fuck did they feed these kids. What were you doing when you were 16? Huh?

Kyoshi was 230? When she died?????? Wtf? She was "taught" Immortality? And she probably just decided to die? Ig? Wtf

Posted 2009: It's been already more than 2 years that I did this quick thumbnail for the pitch. It is Avatar season 3 episode 19, "Zuko meet Iroh" part, I really wanted to do this section, so I took it, and I boarded it. But on the pitch day, I left my board at home,... gees... I couldn't go home to bring my board cause I was so busy to check other artist's boards to pitch, so... I just did a quick sketch on the script. haha... Truly Happy days worked in Avatar with a lot of great fellas!!! Source

Now, whatever you have to say... I'm sure I can take it.

On a scale of Zuko & Iroh to Yuuji & Sukuna, where would you place your relationship with your uncle?

[quillthrillswriting]

my (quillthills) ATLA fanfiction masterlist:

"the teenager in the iceberg"- an in progress kataang multichapter au where aang was frozen at age sixteen, and katara falls first, and aang falls harder<3

"well, my (not-yet) boyfriend's in a band"- a atla au where the gaang is in an indie band, and aang ends up writing a love song that reveals how he feels about katara

"i'm no longer a kid, and everything has changed"- fills in the space between the end of season two and the beginning of season three, where katara spends weeks healing aang and picking up the pieces after his injury

"can you see me using everything to hold back?"- where the common zutara trope of zuko rescuing katara from a controlling relationship with aang is flipped on its head until it becomes kataang<3

"my heart is yours, it's you that i hold on to"- where katara and aang talk after saving the world, work through all their miscommunications, and realize the extent of their feelings for one another

"shining down on me"- a short & bittersweet sokka x yue fic inspired by mitski (which i swear has a happy ending)

"the avatar's adventures in parenting"- where aang is the good dad i believe he should be!!!

"i'm trying to tell you something, something that i already said"- where katara speaks to each member of the gaang individually and finds out that aang has been head over heels with her for years and no one ever bothered telling her!!

if any of these speak to you, they can all be found on my ao3 account:)<3 happy reading!!!

Dragon Zuko and Azula are so soft-looking! Considering Ozai's rough appearance, I'm presuming they got that from Ursa?

Would Iroh be like his nephew and niece, or he'd be like his brother? I mean, he may be a nice person, but he's Ozai's brother, so I guess he'd be also rough in appearance

Hi, anon!!

Thanks for the ask!

I’m just gonna put the pictures up here for reference. Once again, amazing art is done by @tortizgryazi228

So Azula and Zuko actually look a little softer and fluffier because they’re younger. In this kind of universe, young dragons have fur until they get to a certain age. Once Zuko and Azula grow up they’ll get spikes like their mom and dad. Iroh still looks pretty rough in appearance, just from being a full grown dragon, similar to Ozai’s appearance except he’s bigger and more of a light gray color.

Holy shit Uncle Iroh takes no prisoners when it comes to being an ally

[mugentakeda]

in my opinion the best "zuko joins the gaang early" fics are the ones that take place in book 1. the comedic potential is unparalleled
