Sokka: monologuing, being smart.

Zuko: *Heart eyes*

[hazashiovo]

Hi! Could I ask for Sokka (if u write him)/Zuko and Tenzin (again, if u write him) falling in love with a tattoo artist badass s/o please?

I loved your badass hcs! 🫶 you’re such an awesome writer!

Thanks in any case and have a lovely day!

I write for Sokka and Zuko, not Tenzin tho ,hope it's ok

The first time Sokka saw you was when he was undercover in fire nation grounds.

It would happen that he passed by your shop,and out of curiosity peeked inside to see what's going on and all.

And then it happens,he sees you in all your glory. Tattoos imprinted on your body making you look like a goddess.

One specific tattoo caught his eye, a dragon image surrounded by red butterflies was drawn on your back.

He could see it because you wore a dark tank top ,low enough for your tattoo to be seen by the world.

When he returned to the camp he couldn't get you out of his mind, especially the arts imprinted on your body. Unfortunately he couldn't take a better look at you without looking like a creep.

But the next couple of days he spent his time thinking of you. Katara noticed and asked what's up with him,but he just shrugged her off and continued his day, mostly thinking about you.

Soon after ,He and Katara found their way to the city,in the area where you worked at. And then again, Sokka saw you.

He tried averting his gaze,if Katara saw him he wouldn't hear the end of it.

Fortunately Katara left to go buy food for the others, allowing Sokka to stare at you.

Then it came,that feeling from a few days ago, you turned around to check if your gut was right,and there he was , looking at you dumb founded.

You shaked your head,yet approached the boy who seemed to rudely stare at you.

"It's inappropriate to stalk and stare at someone,you know?" He remains stuck, trying to gather his words and finally speak. His eyes watching as you put both of your hands on your hips,head tilted expecting an answer.

Woah,your hands are also drawn on,yet he can't really decipher the designs.

"Helooo?" You snap your fingers in front of him,his gaze turning to look at your face.

Lord,were you gorgeous. Just like the designs drawn on your body,your breath taking.

"You're gorgeous." Really Sokka? That's the first thing you speak to her? Oh boy.

Your expression contorts in a confused one, registering the words he just spoke.

"Thanks? Even so ,that doesn't excuse your staring." You furrow your brows, deciding to cross your arms to look more intimidating.

"I'm sorry,it wasn't really my intention,but I just uh, really like those things that you have all over your uh body." He points with his hand at your hands, you chuckle, realizing he was just admiring the art stuck to your skin.

"You mean my tatts?" He watches as you quirk an eyebrow, figuring that's what they're supposed to be,he nods.

"Yeah,they're awesome!"awkwardly he rubs the back of his neck.

"I made those on my hands, I have a shop downtown,but I'm pretty sure you saw me there too." You speak, referring to the time you also felt stared at,only to turn and see a flick of dark hair leaving.

Sokka blushes, he didn't mean to seem creepy,he was just stuck,that's all.

Then he recalls what you just said. "Wait,you did those?!" The boy points at your hands with a pretty shocked expression on his face,mouth almost agape.

"Yes dummy, in my shop,where I tattoo people?" You quirk a brow up, amused by his care free personality.

"No way! That's so cool!" You could see he almost jumps of the ground. Another chuckle leaves your lips.

"I could muster up a pretty cool design for you,if you ever feel like it." You shrug, your eyes darting to your own tattoos.

"Oh uhm,I'm honored but I don't know,I never really thought about something like that." Sokka laughs awkwardly, yet inside he feels so warm,like someone is fire bending in him.

"Have it your way pretty boy." You shrug, turning around ready to leave, after all there's a client you have in an hour.

"I'll see you around !" He shouts after you, attracting the attention of other people in the market.

"Who are you shouting at?" Katara pokes him in the side, making her brother joint up.

"Katara uh, no one! Just my imaginary friends." He'd give her this smile, hoping she would drop it and go on with their day.

Don't worry Sokka,it's not the last time you get to meet your dream girl ;)

Zuko admired what you did. The precision one must have to be able to do what you do...

He already said he could never do something like that.

But he does love your own tattoos.

Especially the one on your tigh, a snake surrounded by white flowers. And he made sure to tell you that.

He hangs around your shop pretty often, especially when he was hiding in ba sing se, sometimes making sure nobody is trying anything with you. It's just how Zuko is.

He even asked you one time if you would do something on him.

"You want me to tattoo on you?" You raise an eyebrow,a small smirk on your mouth.

"I mean yeah, I wouldn't mind." He would shrug ,and explain in detail how exactly he would like his design and how big,it would bring a big grin on your face.

He's a proud boyfriend, and he loves watching what you're doing.

After he becomes fire lord,you're his official court artist.

Zuko claims it's for your safety mostly.

He's just lovestruck by you and can't handle not having you around him.

[yayee-prsp]

I!!!! Love!!! Your!!!! Art!!!! The way you draw Sokka and Zuko is just so cute and so baby!!! You have the most wonderfully baby designs I have ever seen, its a treat and joy when ever I your art!!!

THANK U ANON 💖 i’m so glad to know they bring you joy <3

[casualdadnomad]

in honor of having to choose my classes for next semester this week (not excited), modern gaang in class headcanons <3

masterpost :)

everyone has to take gen ed classes obviously which means they're making toph talk about literature and aang do math

headcanon: katara fucking sucks at art

i think she would definitely put a lot of effort in but it just wouldn’t look how she wanted it to

it definitely pisses her off

so for her art credit she took ceramics and smashed a few vases

the thing about sokka is that genuinely he is seen in the show as having an interest in EVERYTHING

he does art, he is athletic, he does math and science, he goes to the library, he does poetry COME ON

he is practically the group tutor at this point

someone give me a flaw for him academically because i can’t find one!

aang hates math so fucking much

he takes a foundational math class for his gen ed and it is his worst class probably ever

he absolutely loves classes that are more nuanced and subjective though, like ethics and philosophy courses

(there it is that’s gotta be sokkas weakness)

katara loves history

suki and azula are in a lot of the same classes and are insanely competitive with their grades

suki usually comes out on top

zuko and azula both take the same firebending courses and it’s nightmarish

whenever there’s sparring to do azula will volunteer herself and zuko so she can annihilate his ass

zuko and ty lee as theatre students decided to take their science credit together and ended up in a biology class and hate it

they understand none of it and they’ll get together to study and then just look at each other like “do u know what we’re supposed to do? no? me neither.”

mai takes a still life drawing class for an art credit and low key has the time of her life

she really enjoys it and finds it relaxing, even when she pretends not to

toph being in earth bending and chemistry means a lot of science and i think she would really enjoy that

however

she does have to take some humanities classes for gen ed and she HATES those

like sokka she doesn’t love subjective classes

there needs to be a right answer and if there’s not she will MAKE a right answer

this one’s a little short but i am very sleepy and it is only noon thirty thank u for reading 😁

[amisti]

The art that inspired me to write my Zukka Fanfic:

I Will Bring Honour To Us All (and i will bring you home) on AO3

Summary:

A Mulan (1998) with Zuko as Mulan and Sokka as Shang, but with many, many twists.

While the story is overall the same, I added the White Lotus as the group of old uncles because we need more of them.

What came first? The fic or the fanart? in this case, the fanart lol

im working on designing the soldiers face paint because im a designer (thanks to @atlaculture for being the best source of info), i will be posting my ref and final designs once im done

AND an especial thanks (and blame) to @wylinka , @contrabbandiera-di-elia and @sherlockwatson for encouraging this shitshow love u bbs :*

[ssreeder]

heres some sketches to go along with my rant (in a different ask cause i did these after) I FORGOT WHAT JET LOOKS LIKE BUT THATS SUPPOSED TO BE HIM W SUKI UHHHHH

so jet and suki doing the… spit handshake… or whatever… and then zuko laughing and sokka being shocked, then sokka dying from the spicy dumpling he took from zuko

OKAY THATS ENOUGH FROM ME THANK U FOR THE FLUFFY CHAPTER!!!!!!

WAHHHHH ART FOR ITF?!?! NO WAY!!! I love it!!! I AM GOING CRAZYYYYY!!

Jet looks so devious and also handsome!! SPIT PACT LETS GOOOO!!!

& zuko did get to laugh finally after over one million words haha. Thanks again for these they brought me so much joy!!

[sword-and-stars]

aaaaah i'm so glad u liked my art ;u; i just love cofy so much zuko is so soft with his pokemon i die a little bit each time i read it and i reread it twice last week (except field and a river i read that probably four/five times i just love it so much jet is such a garbage man) i still have some art in the works and i was wondering if i could use the article of zuko that sokka reads at the end of "i wanna be the very best" in one of the drawings?

thank you for all ur amazing work!!

Ahhhhhhhh your art is so soft and so good; thank you for loving my fics ♥️♥️♥️ you can use whatever you want absolutely!! C’mere and lemme squish your face.

[atla-suki]

it is done!! @sukka-week 2023 Day 2: An Ocean Apart/Homecoming or Soulmates

pov: you walk into a wedding afterparty thrown by the avatar’s brother-in-law and you see these two on the other side of the atla-world-equivalent of the beer pong table. you immediately know you’re screwed.

click for better quality or see below for closeups :)

this piece was inspired by the early chapters of @the-power-of-stuff’s amazing fic ‘The Words To Keep You’ ! u should all 10000% go read it if u haven’t already!

also also also suki’s outfit was taken from @it-is-sooz-again’s art of the same fic! check it out here :)

i intended to make this piece fit the ‘an ocean apart’ prompt or generally the theme of reuniting. initially i was gonna draw them both separate but they looked too good together. oh sukka the power couple that you are…

some closeups:

hope u like! 😁😁

Zuko letting Sokka touch his scar for the first time </3

[wakkass]

Hey! First off i really love your art, it has so much expression and personality❤️💕

I saw your post critisizing Kataras look in season 3 and how they don’t let her show her weaker and more tired self, and tend to pretty her up compared to the rest to make her “more favourable to aang” I don’t really agree on that point and want to add my own two cents.

-

Both Aang and Katara have seen each other at their best and worst, mentally, physically, emotionally and totally wrecked from exhaustion and have supported each other through it.

Examples at the top of my head for katara:

-in the waterbending master when fighting pakku her hair gets messy and breathing becomea rigid and at no point lets go of her (fierce and justified) anger towards him, aang watches them and cheers for her through it (“Go Katara!”) Also not forgetting how he doesn’t want to be taught by pakku if he won’t teach her.

-in the chase all the gaang are exhausted beyond point and katara snaps multiple times, when trying to confront toph, aang attempts calming her down but she has her “IM COMPLETELY CALM” reaction and aang decides to back away. I see it as him respecting her anger and frustration and understanding she needs space atm.

-the desert all the gaang are not themselves and katara takes over as the leader in that situation, aang is incredibly distraught and furious about losing appa and it’s katara that manages to get everyone back on track, esprcially aang.

- this leads to the serpent’s pass where aang in return regrets his outburst at the sand benders and understand and appreciates kataras effort for what she did back there for all of them, esprcially him in his pure rage.

-the puppet master, katara forcibly learns bloodbending and is distraught over this fact. It’s a very brief moment in the last few seconds but she breaks down and aang and sokka comfort her without any words said and let katara hurt in that moment without any pressure to get it together.

-the southern raiders we see her at her possible worst and aang sees it too. He fully understand her anger and that she needs this journey to heal but doesn’t want her to lose herself by killing the man because it would destroy her to take a life even if he deserved it. Aang empathsizes with her and he is happy she was able to come to her own conclusion despite the pain thr both felt (her going through all these emotions and him seeing her not being herself at that moment before)

-

Phew sorry that was so wordy lol. Apologies^^”

I also think the show lets her be messy and not “perfect” in scenes without aang too (hakoda and her in S3EP1) but i know that wasnt ur og point.

I totally think the show can be critisized with certain designs tho tbf i don’t blame aang personally for blushing at her when she is really pretty, it is his crush and he is a boy in puberty. He loves her at her best looking times and messiest times (whether thats her emotional or physical state) and always shows it through words and other means of affection.

To end this needlessly long ask I agree with some of what u said but i wanted to add my own thoughts because i couldn’t get myself to agree on others. Sorry for any spelling or grammatical mistakes!

I love analytical posts and how they keep the gears in my head moving. Thank you very much for, firstly, reading my posts, it’s very nice. It’s immediately obvious that you also read the hashtags :3

Thank you for the compliments on my drawings, it’s very nice to hear 💖❤️💖

And, secondly, for writing your post and sending it to me, considering the idea from different angles and complementing it.

I want to say right away: no one is obliged to agree with me for the simple reason that each of us has his own interpretation of this series. It's too ambiguous to have only one true reading, and therefore the difference in points of view complements each other. It's IMPORTANT for us to have different opinions and help each other see different sides of interpretation :3

The phrase itself from the series is wonderfully suitable here, I can’t say it better:

It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations, will help you become whole... It can make you more powerful.

Regarding Katara’s fatigue, I said in hashtags here that it was only shown in two episodes: “The Desert” and “The Southern Raiders.” As you can see, @leanniera gave a few more examples, and I just want to leave them on my wall as part of the theme.

[firelilysky]
