She loves him

Mai quick sketch

[punkeropercyjackson]

I hate girlboss x malewife ships where it's a pathetic guy who's obsessed with a cool girl who's not nearly into him as he is her and people call it bisexuality.I want them BOTH down bad,i want them BOTH pampering eachother nonstop,i want them BOTH going to the ends of the earth for their love,i want them BOTH to be actual characters instead 'She's everything,he's just Ken' and acting like that's feminist instead of writing women as perfect and men as people.Forget girlboss x malewife,i want Equalit4ty

reposting (again, duh) 'cause i'm just—not satisfied with this. will leave it alone now, i promise. Since Zuko was too hurt to even dress himself I bet Mai did his hair.

Edit: y'all my mother said I didn't fuck up the hands this time HAHAHAHA—

Tall with black hair and light eyes✔

Started off as a sweet,cheerful kid but then an event in his mid-teens happened that traumatized him more than anything else in his life which was made even worse thanks to him already having some trauma beforehand and led to him becoming evil✔

Hates his dad but seeks out his approval,has a super genius younger sibling who's black and red-coded like him and seen as 'better' than him who he's enemies with and is a total mama's boy✔

Has a strong sense of justice but didn't always know what's actually good or bad✔

Coping mechanisms are anger issues,bad social skills,off the charts snark and not knowing how to handle genuine intimacy/affection✔

Respects women and acts tough but is secretly also a big dork✔

Redemption arc was also a healing journey and about him earning it by working his ass off to be good again and he became a Team Dad thanks to it✔✔

Bi transmasc with his type being people who can stand up to him✔

Goth AutismTM✔✔✔

Edit since i keep getting these niggas on this for some tone deaf ass reason:

Honestly every time when I remember that Zuko loved one girl for all his life, it makes me SO HAPPY. The Girl, with who they were in love since childhood, with who they were separated.. separated for forever as it seemed at the moment, and they tried to put up with the idea that they probably would never see each other again (and Zuko were lying to himrself that he would return and everything would be as it had been, but Mai had a more sober look at things and understood that she had little to zero chances to see Zuko again). The Girl with who he was separated the second time after their reunion, again risking to lose each other. The Girl who sacrificed herself to save him. The Girl who in the end became his wife, his Fire Lady, mother of his kid. Only Girl who made him smile. No other girl or a guy in the whole show can even compare with her and what she was to Zuko. Nor Ty Lee, nor Katara, nor Aang, Sokka, Song or Jun.. Only Mai. They never hated each other.

[punkeropercyjackson]

Love it when people act like Zuko was always a 'fuck the rules' bad boy.Guys,he spent over half the show trying to please his dad and his attitude problems came from a mix of trauma responses and being spoiled-Zuko wasn't a 'rebel' until his redemption arc,he was just a jackass

First of all I’m such a big fan of your art and writing. If you would be down (and I know your super busy xD) I’d love to see your take on Maiko wedding art (pic for reference)!

Thank you so much😊

Hi! I saw your ask and my brain went BRRRRRRR!

Because, well, FASHION!!! So, before we get to the real deal—I just fucked around and here's some self-indulgent Mai sketches! Hehe.

She looks more like canon Mai without the makeup. (I coloured her eyes in the same layer, please ignore ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙)

So, Fire Nation wedding dresses are white. What Ta Min is wearing here and what Ursa wore in the comics. I imagine Mai would sooner slit her throat with her own dagger. LOL. So, red it was. FN has heavy emphasis on the colour red. It's considered an auspicious colour in Chinese culture and I've seen traditional Chinese wedding dresses are predominantly red. (Please free to correct me if I'm wrong!)

Also, Mai has worn red without any hesitation in canon.

Sorry, I didn't do the Roku/Ta Min one that you asked for—for some reason I couldn't.

Pose inspiration for this one are Gomez and Morticia. I know Maiko is like the Addamses only aesthetically—but they were both traumatised kids; I don't see why they can't be like the Addamses when they're both grown up and adults and healed somewhat.

Plus, all that PDA? Definitely Addams family vibes.

And oh! I drew such glorious eyebrows for Mai but alas, her bangs came in the way 🥹

But I absolutely have to share it!

Aren't those eyebrows glorious? [sigh]

Anyways! Thanks for enabling me.

P.S: my full-updo Zuko propaganda is raging full force. That man has to have long hair and he has to put it all up!!!!

[jasontoddssuper]

You heard it here first folks!

[headcanonsandcupcakes]

In search of any modern au Maiko fics <3

[salty-pnutz]

Anyway, i decided to be an idiot and make myself sad
