Peppermint tea tastes like oil in water. And chamomile tastes like diluted and less pungent urine. I said what I said

Jin and Zuko as a "cute old couple."

Did they grow old together or reunite after a lifetime apart? I find both possibilities so romantic. 🥰

I made this a winter scene to celebrate the coming season. It's already quite cold where I live!

Shadowsight and Frostpaw's bond is super cute, I am as fond of it as I expected to be lmao.

Legitimate question... why are frogs not popular in RiverClan. They have the marsh now, that was a big problem I had with the conflict in Squilfhope and other books with border conflicts. That they were making a big deal of River needing it when Shadow didn't want it. Side effect of the new team reading the wiki Just Now I guess

But like, frogs and fish aren't all that different taste-wise to my knowledge. Meat is usually flavored more by function than ancestry and they're both aquatic. Hmm... I should do some more research

DAY 2 - SUPPRESS/PASTEL

DWC 2024 Day 2 - Suppress/Pastel

---

The first time a burst of fire erupted forth from her mouth was the result of a very unfortunate chilli eating contest. She’d taken on the hottest as a bet, and lost. Not even graciously. In the most humiliating way possible - her throat raw and eyes red and tear-filled as she’d plunged her entire face into a bowl of yoghurt to soothe her sudden predicament, proceeding to weep into it. It hadn’t been her finest moment, that’s for sure.

That incident had been a long time ago now, and she’d never dared to try the feat again. Pheonix wondered how she had managed it in the first place. She’d absorbed raw fire into herself, thrown kicks and punches laced with fire, shot fireballs, engulfed herself in a blazing tornado, power free to control as she saw fit…and yet…breathing fire was absolutely not one of the feats she’d managed. At least on purpose. Pheonix hadn’t been so eager to figure out the actual mechanics to it. Not until a few months ago.

She’d suppressed the urge to unleash her abilities to their full extent, as hard as it was. All she had to do was remember the burning of her throat as she felt the fire bubble up and boil over, and the excruciating pain that followed in it’s wake. Luckily, she hadn’t done damage to herself, but gods had she felt the aftermath. Here she needed control. It needed to flow from the pit of her stomach, a steady inhale and exhale. Fury could not be the driving force here, not for the outcome she desired and sought. 

Pheonix saw no result on the first day. She’d barely managed to even heat her own breath above the usual temperature. No embers. No little sparks - not that she thought she’d manage that, but it would have been cool to see. Nothing. Well.. Nothing but the pure state of calm she was in. It puzzled her. She didn’t expect to be able to breathe fire on her first conscious go, but she also expected herself to be in a state of frustration upon not being able to produce anything. Instead, she found herself at peace. Weird.

---

Despite going days without seeing much progress, Pheonix began to realize that these sessions she took for herself during the day had a therapeutic result on her. She felt calm, her emotions in control. Even the days where she’d been the angriest….her rage had subsided. She’d started to reach her ‘zen’, putting it in simpler terms. She noticed the use of her chi healing had improved - obviously not to the point where it’d do much else than be a bit of a glorified painkiller…but she wasn’t straining herself as much to use it. She wondered if she’d ever get the chance to show it to the person who had taught her.

By the end of the second week, she’d felt it. The air had warmed around her, and she’d even directed her breath closer into her palms to see if she wasn’t imagining things. Hot. There was no fire, but she’d noticed it. Progress. And her center was as calm as ever. She could feel the fire in her veins, but it wasn’t raging…there was no raw intensity to it. There was no reason for it to be that way. It felt different….yet welcoming at the same time.

---

Her hands gently held the teacup close as if it could break at any moment. She felt the bottom of the cup as it warmed up in her palms, the liquid inside gradually heating as she exhaled steadily. At first, she’d almost entirely began heating it with direction from her palms alone…but she’d regained her focus. She had been concentrating and concentrating hard. Redirecting the flame up her throat, to her mouth. A tiny exhale was all she needed. Tiny and steady. Tiny and steady. Focus.

Rays of sunlight broke through soft clouds drifting amongst a pastel sky. Picturesque, she’d thought. A fitting background for one of the most tranquil sessions she’d achieved. A sturdy teapot sat on the tray beside her as she lounged in the rattan chair, two cups laid out for herself and another. Both at perfect temperature. She wasn’t even an avid tea-drinker, but this called for a bit of an exception. 

“It’s a beautiful day, huh?” She smiled as Barry approached the veranda of the bungalow, gesturing to the free seat. “I made some tea.”

Part 3/3

Stay cozy, internet strangers.

Part 1

Part 2

Overall vibe:

A few explanations if you're interested. I've set this in autumn, though the backgrounds are mostly green to represent the Earth Kingdom. Jin is wearing lighter, spring clothes, which she got secondhand from a wealthy woman of Ba Sing Se who completely updates her wardrobe every season. Hence, small implications that Jin is chilly.

Here are some "bonus features" I guess? My preliminary costume sketches, done in pen and marker, and a drawing of Jin done in watercolor and digital (with the phrase that inspired it below).

Is this what you meant when you said "It's complicated"?
