The world needs more Yue and Zuko friendship, I squeal just thinking abt the parallels. They deserve a life changing field trip together and if u have abt ideas I’m all ears 👀
Hiii anon this ask fermented in my inbox and in my brain for so long,, so take this??? Post canon yue lives/no war au arts?? Anyway aside from the Parallels and their political position & their duty before hoes grindset I think they could learn a lot from each other. With zuko learning the gift of patience & diplomacy from yue & Yue learning that allowing yourself to feel anger and speaking up can actually be Good.
anyway hypothetical life changing trip outcome: zuko takes an intro gender studies class and yue says fuck
(oh and also must not forget the crush on sokka)

"Penelope should have chosen Debling!"
My sister in Christ. . .he literally dumped her???
Like just before Colin Bridgerton was on his knees after outrunning her carriage to profess how he can't stop thinking about her in his love me, choose me, I'm yours speech, Debling did the Regency equivalent of calling her a floozy who would undoubtedly cheat on him when he abandoned her for several years to chase his passions (because she would never be one of said passions since she asked outright if he could ever come to care for her and he went 'hmmmm seems unlikely! good thing you have solitary hobbies to occupy you instead!') when he has been given 0 evidence of such other than realizing she liked to look out the window because she had a crush on the boy across the street. I was ready to challenge that man to a duel for Pen's honor
His feelings for her were middling at best, I mean Christ on a Pogostick, after he asked her mum for permission to propose he isn't even happy when he opens the door and Pen is there? She's looking like a snack- nay, a whole ass MEAL, and he can't even smile? He just nods at her and dips the fuck out? You don't think it would kill Penelope to know that both her sisters have husbands who absolutely adore them and she's out here with an absent dude who likely won't even write to her?
Portia's 'Love is make believe!' speech is so transparently full of shit when you realize that we've got Dankworth who is so obsessed with Prudence that he makes heart eyes at her every waking moment and considers her his little bonbon and Albion who loves Phillipa so much that he was waiting for her to consent to sex (not realizing she didn't know what it was) for two entire years because he would never pressure her and so he was content with finishing in his pants when he kissed her to make sure she was comfortable. And you want Penelope to settle for a life of loneliness? When Colin is so besotted with her that he dreams of her and breaks every societal expectation in the book as a notorious People Pleaser to run after her and cannot even wait for the morning after being intimate with her to introduce her as his wife to his family in the middle of the night? You want her to turn down Mr "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible" Bridgerton? For LORD PENGUIN?
Be so serious right now

My favorite part of today is that when Daniel came by our grandstand during the driver’s parade, he further riled up the crowd (already fairly hyped up because Max was in front of it doing his interview) by throwing his arms up to make the crowd whoop and kept doing it on repeat because the orange army was YELLING for him, and he did it all the way through the grandstand and he was so smiley and having so much fun

a basis for kieran and javier being best friends:
kieran speaks spanish. he learned it in mexico while serving with the us army. for obvious reasons, he lives in mortal terror of javier finding this out
he was really good at hiding it until one day javier mutters the 1899 equivalent of 'i wanna suck his dick so hard his stomach caves in like a caprisun' to himself while staring at john. kieran laughs almost too hard and after wiping the tears from his eyes realises javier is staring at him with that infamous look that could make grown men piss themselves.
fight or flight response didn't kick in in time. he stands frozen as javier walked over and asked very calmly if he spoke spanish
kieran is too terrified to deny it. explains where and how he learned it, expecting death
javier thinks. obviously, he does want to kill him, but also is so starved for conversation. makes some comment about he should've done him the favor of killing him before he ended up with the o'driscolls (Kieran agrees). quietly asks what he thought of mexico
kieran, confused, says it's a beautiful country. they talk about food and buildings and the general landscape and both visibly relax while everyone just stares in confusion as they gossip in spanish.
it becomes a thing when javier doesn't feel like dealing with english, is homesick or wants to bitch about the gang, he'll go talk to the o'driscoll. and he's very transparent about it. he'll point at somebody in the gang, say something in spanish, and kieran is very obviously trying not to laugh or a sinister smile appears on his face as he makes a comment in agreement.
javier galloping boaz through camp because he found someone in saint denis selling tamales and bought loads. kieran has a white boy spice tolerance but insists they’re real good despite choking
