What would have happened if Azula had had an illness in the series?
Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is a very old disease, BC in fact. And let's assume that in Atla they also have that disease or similar.
And honestly it wouldn't be unusual for a royal to have a serious illness.
Anyway, it occurred to me just when I saw the movie where the Leper King appears, and then I thought of Azula, but with another illness. And I thought about my dad and my older brother who had tuberculosis, (They were cured, they are completely healthy now).
In Atla, I think Azula contracted the disease before going to war, I don't know how, maybe when she escaped from the palace and visited a place with poor people or something.
And she didn't know until she went to find Zuko and Iroh, and a doctor checked her (Lo and Li made her go to make sure she didn't have a broken bone after her fall) and that's when she found out she had tuberculosis.
Out of fear, Azula hid all evidence of her illness, saying that the reason she coughs is because she contracted the flu after falling into the water. She was able to do so for a while until Mai and Ty Lee discovered it in Ba sing se when they saw her coughing up blood.
A happy 2024 to our readers + [now closed] recruiting new cleaner(s)!!!
Hello GSNK fandom! We hope you've had a safe end to 2023 and that the new year brings you lots of joy/success/GSNK/tanuki (loljk) \o/ we thank you once again for keeping us company and supporting our releases! Apologies for our random delays and our limited time for answering messages in recent months, but we still appreciate all your comments and whatnot c:
Now for business -- CMC's cleaning team has been stressed for time recently due to increasingly busy schedules, so we've decided to advertise for more cleaners/redrawers to join the squad! We're hoping to cut down our backlog and give some breathing space to the team.
Experience is appreciated but not essential, we just need you to show some examples of you being a decent redrawer (and/or we might ask you to clean a page as a test)
We’ll need you on discord (that’s where CMC gathers together to discuss everything)
Be fairly available (enough so you can at least rotate around) since cleaning takes priority whenever new material comes out -- but please don’t prioritise us over your irl stuff! School/work/your other needs are always more important o7
If you’re interested, then please message @cashmoneychiyo or me @grolia off anon so I can privately reply to you! Or you can use the chat function to talk to me if you're able to (that may be the easier option actually, but it's up to you) o7 If you're not a tumblr user you can still message us on anon, just also include your discord username so we can contact you if we'd like to chat. I will do my best to reply asap 🙇
I don’t wanna limit myself to just one per… take these with the disclaimer that it’s just one iteration of an answer! This is purely based on vibes instead of anything symbolic.
2 of my little cousins (14yrs and 15yrs) are both girls dating boys right now, and together we are coming up with a "dealbreaker list" of things they will never put up with from their bfs! and also we are including positives, like so they aren't just looking for the absence of bad things, but actual positive things
what do yall think are the most important things to add? (i put extra info in tags)
Azula definitely made her two girlfriends fall in love when she knelt in front of them, proving that they are equal, without any difference.
Azula always buys them EVERYTHING they want, does Mai want new knives? Someone send a fucking letter to the best blacksmith in the world, does Ty Lee want to see a circus? Well, someone go immediately when buying the fucking circus.
Azula LOVES touching her beloved girls, it doesn't matter if they just hold hands, the princess will be happy all damn day.
Azula pleases her friends in EVERYTHING, and is attentive to their needs, do her beloved girlfriends have any needs? Perfect, then they are also your needs.
Azula gives her girls any nickname, but above all she loves to say that Mai is her moon, while Ty Lee is her sun, because that's right, they are her world.
Azule usually gives a bouquet of roses personally to her girlfriends every day.
Azula faints every time her girlfriends say I love you, which is every day.
Azula is fucking protective, if you touch one of her girls even an inch, you're dead, bitch.
Azula loves to LOOK at her loved ones, simply enchanted by their beauty.
Azula is independent of both of them when she is alone, but when they are together she becomes so obsessive, but in a healthy and fucking cute way.
The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️
What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:
I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!
There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!
