Is this angst? I am not really an angst person myself (Fluff all day, babey) but I knew I had to do owedbetterās heart healing scene from iām still here because it made me cry when I read it *sad lol* I justā¦ it made me so saaad. The setup here is that Azulaās lightning that Zuko took for Katara actually did serious damage to Zukoās heart beyond the power of the single healing session in the actual finale. So, Zuko is basically dying, everyone has returned from their various battles and are saying goodbye. But in iām still here, Kataraās bloodbending from The Southern Raiders is actually discussed between Zuko and Katara prior, and that reminds Katara to try everything sheās got to save Zuko.Ā What I really loved about owedbetterās story is just how powerfully she writes Katara, especially in this scene. Katara is just so cool. I love that she has the power to both end people and also save their freakinā lives! And you know I gots to have my full moon imagery AGAIN. Apologies, I canāt stop; itās like the best framing object to work with. I really think I went a bit overboard on the melodrama and effects too, but I just wanted to try to go as full throttle with neat imagery as I could with the time that I had. Katara deserves some spirit magic glowy shit too, dammit! Haha Hope owedbetter specifically likes it.

This is all done with no intention of making money off these animatics; itās purely fanart. >.>
DO NOT REPOST. And if Zutarians are going to screencap some frames, I think it is imperative to also acknowledge owedbetter too, because itās based on their concepts and story. I simply translated it into visuals.
More art rambling and note to owedbetter below the line
Because older Keith needed help adjusting his tie and Allura just so happened to be there to help...Date night? šš Have a great weekend everyone!
Near the end of the series, Allura is sightseeing on Earth before leaving the planet. She sees the desert landscape at sunset and is delighted, wanting to take a photo with the camera Keith gave her. Keith notices her smile and realizes how precious it is to see it, after all theyāve been through, and all they have yet to go through. He wants to protect her at all costs so she can continue smiling just the way she was at that moment. What he doesnāt yet realize are his own growing feelings towards her.

Note: Some minor changes were made from my original Twitter/IG posts
Also wanted to have Allura try out a different hairstyle āŗļø
Kallura HC: Keith has been a mess after seeing Allura cry. She hasnāt spoken to him and he hasnāt slept for days trying to figure out a way to make it up to her.

Dropping this Kallurangst to start off the weekend. I just wanna see them comfort and talk to each other again ššš
One of my very first VLD pieces. The HC for this was if Krolia disappeared and Allura disguised herself as a Blade to help Keith find her, because I want my Kallura ninja assassin covert ops adventure dammit.
