#hijabi yue

[zukoisgayforsokka]

Dear Avatar Fandom

If you have worked with the idea of Yue wearing a headscarf, thank you. This message is for you

If you are not Muslim, and I am also not Muslim, we should not be using the term hijab in place of headscarf. They are not interchangeable. To wear hijab is not just the scarf, and without incorporating islam it is not our word to use

My intention is always to create content to uplift and celebrate others, and I want to do so as respectfully and thoughtfully as possible. I hope you all can agree

If you, or a creator you know that you can send this to, has been incorrectly using "hijabi yue", I ask that you please change to using "yue wears a headscarf"

Thank you for listening, and taking the time to learn with me

what do you find compelling about the idea of yue wearing a hijab?

The origin of Yue wearing a headscarf didn't actually properly originate with me. I read it in a short first chapter of a discontinued fic from almost 2 years ago that has since been deleted, and the author has moved on to the star wars fandom. But the idea stuck with me, and so I created the tag on AO3, and whenever I write her, or commission artists, she is wearing a white headscarf, so the idea in popularity originates from me

Yue's white hair is a spirit blessing. I have tried to do a lot of research to write this as respectfully as possible: a lot of cultures worldwide wear hair coverings as a link to their religion or spirituality, so Yue covering her hair shows a different interpretation of her spirituality, in modern setting or context where she gives back the spirit blessing but stays alive.

Here is where I made a mistake.

In my writing I always make sure to say "headscarf", because "hijab" is a Muslim-specific word, and is not just the hair covering but a way of being spiritual directly linked to Islam. And I mistakenly used the tag "hijabi Yue" before I had fully realised this was not how I should be tagging her.

I am now making efforts to correct this, creating a new AO3 tag "Yue wears a headscarf" that will hopefully be canonised, and I will be editing tumblr posts where possible to change the language and tagging used. It was not my word to use, and although creating content for a minority I am not a part of originated with good intentions, the resulting tag should not have been used, and I apologise for using it. I am not Muslim (nor do I wear a headscarf and I'm not part of a community that does), and I have not been writing Yue as Muslim, so I should not have been using the term hijabi.

I encourage others who create content of Yue wearing a headscarf and are not Muslim, to not tag with the word "hijab", but instead "Yue wears a headscarf".

My intention is always to create content to uplift and celebrate others, and I want to do so as respectfully and thoughtfully as possible

[ID: Fanart of Yue from Avatar the last Airbender. She wears a white khimar headscarf with soft lilac pattern, a purple underscarf and a light purple dress. She’s smiling with her eyes closed and lifts one hand towards her face. First image is a close up, the second full body. /end ID]

ID: a digital drawing of adult Yue and teenage Izumi from Avatar the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra respectively. They are seen from the legs up, embracing. Yue is taller, wearing a purple tunic and white headscarf, and she wraps her arms around Izumi's back tightly. Izumi wears a red tunic and red framed glasses, they press their face into Yue's shoulder, wrapping their arms around her back. Yue looks at peace, Izumi looks relieved and content /End ID

The final scene from my fic We're Only Immortal For A Limited Time, (trans) Aunt Yue hugging Izumi who just came out to their aunt as non-binary.

My irl friends who aren't in the atla fandom but read my fic anyway, commissioned the wonderful @andreehanart to draw this scene as a birthday present for me. I love it so much, thank you

[mightyoctopus]

[ID: Four edits of Yue from Avatar: the Last Airbender. In each one, she’s wearing a white headscarf.

Image 1. Sokka and Yue are riding on Appa. Yue has her eyes closed and she’s smiling at Sokka. She wears a headscarf that covers her hair and neck. One strand of fabric isn’t tucked in and is instead hanging loose, being played with by the wind.

Image 2. Yue is leaning over the side of a boat, giggling with her hands in front of her mouth. A veil is draped over her head, covering her hair but not her neck.

Image 3. Yue is riding on Appa, smiling brightly. She wears a headscarf that’s tucked into the collar of her parka.

Image 4. Yue and Sokka are sitting on Appa. Her headscarf is made from rectangular cloth that’s draped over her head and fastened underneath her chin to cover her hair, neck and chest. /end ID] @atladescribed

Some more hijabi Yue edits, inspired by @zukoisgayforsokka’s fan fics 💜

The first piece is inspired by a style Amal from Iftah Ya Simsim wears occasionally, the last one is based on a 19th century Russian fashion plate.

I commissioned the brilliant @jasminedragonart (thank you again I love her) to draw my Trans Hijabi Yue. If you read any of my fics on AO3 please imagine the beautiful Yue like this gorgeous art work

[ID: A digital drawing of Yue in a cream hijab with a grey Tui and La motif. Pinned where the scarf meets her parka is a large Water Tribe pin in the trans pride flag colours. She is smiling. /End ID] @atladescribed

Thinking about hijabi Yue, inspired by @zukoisgayforsokka 's amazing fics

[ID: Screen shot of Yue laughing and putting a hand on Sokka’s shoulder, who smiles and reaches towards her. Yue has been edited to wear a simple, face-framing white headscarf. ID 2: Yue smiling and waving, wearing a multi-layered white headcarf that covers her hair, neck and chest. It has an elaborate knot in the front, which is held together with a moonstone clasp. /end ID] @atladescribed

[ID: Line art of Sokka and Yue walking together. Sokka has one hand on her shoulder. They’re both wearing their canon outfits, plus Yue wears a headscarf. The artwork is made to look like an ink drawing done by Sokka. /end ID]

I’ve been thinking of doing some Sokka-style drawings… I think this one turned out too detailed still. Sokka’s drawings are a bit rougher…

Anyway, he drew this one as a gift for Yue after their date

[ID: A fake text conversation between Suki 💚 and Yue from Avatar.

Yue sent three texts, reading:

Picked up a new scarf

A selfie of Yue wearing a headscarf, gathered and tied behind her head, with one end trailing down the front of her shoulder like a ponytail. It’s mostly white, but has two stripes in trans pride colors on the trailing section.

Do you like it?

Suki replied:

OMG

YUE!!

You are so beautiful

(All caps) stunning 😳😘❤️

I’m dating the most gorgeous woman in the world /end ID]

Thinking about Suki being very enthusiastic and supportive of her gf 🥰

[ID: Katara and Yue standing in the entrance of the spirit Oasis at night, both looking dismayed. Yue is wearing a white headscarf and a white under-scarf. Her headscarf is made from a long rectangular fabric that’s draped loosely enough that part of her neck and collar is visible. One end of the scarf is flipped over her shoulder and trails down her back. /end ID] @atladescribed

Trans Hijabi Yue

[ID: Two edits of Yue from Avatar the last airbender in front of the trans pride flag. In both images, she’s wearing a white headscarf and looking at the camera. In the first, her eyes are brown. In the second, they are blue. /end ID] @atladescribed

If these artworks look similar, it’s because I already posted this edit with a neutral blue background, but then I got the idea to do a version with the trans pride flag instead. Feel free to use as an icon, etc. if you credit me. Inspired by @zukoisgayforsokka’s fics. Go check them out!
