Ironic that the next page in the comic is Zuko having a crisis about family

The BEST family

[usedtobethelegendcreator]

Personally, as someone with autism, the things that stuck out to me the most about Zuko were his facial expressions and the time he got sick after Lake Laogai.

I've been told that I look angry all the time, even though I was only angry 45% of the time. Look at Book 1 Zuko and tell me that this guy doesn't almost always look angry. Sure, there are subtle differences, but those usually come from his tone.

Then, his sickness. Like. Do you see this man. He has a long day, throws away two things that are very important to him (chance to capture Aang + his mother's mask), and collapses the second he and Iroh get home. Honestly, I've done the same. One time I just felt fuzzy and hugged my ESA for half an hour. A drama king like Zuko? Understandable.

And people get onto Zuko about his lightning challenge during the Agni Kai, but really, he might have just whited out. Stuff like this can run lowkey like a background program, but with Sozin's fucking Comet giving him a boost, it probably just got out of control. I can't describe how many times I've raised my voice or winced when people started sounding like my parents. Zuko's already been shot by lightning before. Really, it's the autism + trauma sweet spot of complete unutterable rage.

Anyway, yeah. Autistic Zuko for the win.

On my "Zuko is autistic" agenda:

That one time he decides to leave Uncle Iroh behind and go travel on his own (the first time, on book 2) after Iroh tells him he should figure out his own path in life, and not depend on finding the avatar to feel good about himself, and my boy heard that and went:

"Ah yes, I should go off on my own, because finding my own path obviously means I should path on my own"

The literal thinking got the best of him and you cannot tell me otherwise.

Because like, the second time he does that (after the lighting incident and all) that's for drama, he's being emo and edgy for sure. But this one? He legit went: "I thought about what you said, uncle, and this was the very logical conclusion I came to."

Two things I drew way back in April.

[usedtobethelegendcreator]

Them: What’s your favorite ATLA episode?

Me:

Zuko is not impressed.

You’re both an actual mother and the Cool Aunt of the Encanto fandom. Turned off anon asks while the post was still loading, and pinned the post as a thorough “Fuck around at your own risk” sign. Let’s see if anon has a spine. :)

Lol kudos for the confidence but if ur just drawing for urself then don't post ur ugly shit here with a bunch of tags in the hopes it'll be liked lmao

Oh, anon. Dear, sweet little anon. I know you’re a troll, so I’ll take this step by step.

First off, yes, I do have confidence. You know why? Because I spent 16 years with the incarnation of Azula as my mother. Nothing you could ever accomplish would ever make you more intimidating than the woman who beat me up and kicked me out of the house. After all the shit I’ve gone through, I’m trying this thing called ‘be kind and take no shit’.

Second, you have some bold words for someone with atrocious grammar, but that’s beside my point. I post for my own enjoyment, yes, but do you know why I enjoy it? Why I’ve been doing it for five years? Because I’m fucking autistic. That’s why. And by ‘autistic’, I mean I was thoroughly evaluated by a licensed psychiatrist.

Third, there you go with ‘ugly shit’ again. Well, buddy boy, do I have some news for you.

See this? This means I took the certification tests for both Photoshop and Illustrator. I passed both. And if you’re such a critic, I’d like to see what you can draw.

Fourth, a bunch of tags? Really? I tag the characters present in the art, the ship (if any), the fandom, if it’s a crossover, and what kind of art it is. Sometimes I want to make a joke in the tags, in honor of Tumblr tradition. If you’re so desperately scraping for something to insult me with, find something better than properly tagging something.

Fifth?

I’m not here to get likes. I’m here because I fucking want to be. If I wanted to get likes, I’d go on Instagram or some other site. Sure, the likes are nice, but I’ve survived fandoms much more dead than ATLA. You try being a fanfic author in a legitimately dead fandom, like Beyblade Burst, for four years, then come back to me on that.

And guess what, sweet little anon? Three strikes. You’re out. I’m turning off anon asks. Dunk on me with your actual blog next time, where I can block you, instead of hiding like a coward.

I’m not above guilt-tripping if you’re this much of an asshole. Take note, potential anons.

Leaving the floor open for @thecrazyashley-blog, because, as one of the Encanto fandom’s mothers, I bet she might have something to say on the topic of fandom trolls.

Don’t fuck with me. 😀

Sokka has called him Jerkbender for the last time.

Posting my new art as both a PNG and JPEG to stick it to the anon, while quoting the anon.

[usedtobethelegendcreator]

It took you so long cuz the ugly faces you draw don't show up good. It's sooo fckin bad who are you even making this crappy junk for, 5 years and the skills of a toddler

Listen up you spineless coward. I was nice last time. You could have stopped. If I'm such a horrible artist, you can come over here so I can punch you in the face properly. Maybe I have the "skills of a toddler" because I never had the chance to take an art class. Maybe it's because my hands are never going to stop shaking. But that's none of your business, now is it? And what makes you think I'm drawing for anyone? I draw for my own enjoyment. Perhaps you should try it sometime, motherfucker. Leave me the fuck alone.

[usedtobethelegendcreator]

I just can’t believe it took a total of five years of both writing and drawing for someone to outright send me hate. I was an objectively shitty artist back in the day, so it’s strange that I’m just now getting downed on.

Your art is fucking ugly and you need to be stopped at all costs. Ew

OMG my first hater! I can’t believe it took me this long to get one. Gonna take a screenshot, this is one for the photo album! 😊

(btw you can keep your opinions on my art to yourself, you spineless coward. Too scared to ask with your blog name? Yeah. You’d better be.)

P.S. I’m going to draw EVEN MORE just to spite you.

Hello sorry for tagging. I am very sick, my asthma is at its maximum level, my nose freezes, I have no medicine or food. I am in bad shape financially, I am a black disabled, who uses multiple medications, I pay for my food and lodging

Unfortunately I do not have all the resources to keep me safe, that is why I need your help, whatever you can contribute to me will be of great help.

Sweetie I’m broke as hell, here have a head pat
