“It’s okay to talk to people.” for Silence? 😏
"You're not going to believe this. Apparently every old Master we've met on our journey is part of some sort of secret Pai Sho club. Isn't that crazy?" Sokka continued to babble with excitement as he led Zuko down the corridor by his hand. Zuko tried to focus on Sokka's words instead of the feel of his callused yet gentle grip.
"You'll never guess who one of them is. Go on, guess. You'll never guess. It's Master Piandao! Do you remember me telling you about him? He taught me to use swords and helped me make Space Sword."
Zuko came to a sudden halt. Since Sokka was still holding his hand, Sokka did as well. Sokka turned to look at him and raised a brow. "What's wrong?"
Zuko slid his hand out of Sokka's. He raised his hands and relayed through sign that he knew Master Piandao.
Sokka's eyes widened. "You do? Why didn't you tell me that when I mentioned learning from him?"
Zuko shrugged. He didn't have a good reason, and he certainly didn't have a reason simple enough to be conveyed with sign. He gave Sokka a chagrined look.
"Okay, well do you two get along?"
"I think so," an amused voice said. Master Piandao entered the corridor sporting a wide grin. "Prince Zuko, it is good to see you again."
Zuko almost jumped out of his skin, but he was quick to recover and respond with a bow. After he straightened, Master Piandao returned the bow. He had an amused twinkle in his eye. "From what I've heard, you've been putting the skills I taught you to good use."
Zuko blushed and averted his eyes.
Master Piandao chuckled. "There is no need to be shy. The theatre mask was an interesting addition. You must tell me about these adventures of yours."
Zuko glanced at Sokka. Sokka was smiling, like he didn't see anything mortifying about their situation. That made sense. Sokka had no reason to fear the judgement of his old Master. He had nothing to be ashamed of.
"Come now, Zuko. There's no need to be so formal. It's okay to talk to people." Master Piandao continued to grin.
Sokka's smile dulled a bit. Zuko raised his hands, and Sokka was kind enough to translate the signs. "I can't."
Master Piandao's smile slipped away, leaving behind a frown. "What do you mean?"
Sokka continued to translate as Zuko signed. Zuko looked everywhere but at Master Piandao. "I can't talk to people anymore. I can't talk at all."
Master Piandao seemed to be at a loss as to how to respond.
THIS CONCEPT >>>>>
Long time, no see y’all
Please enjoy this long abandoned messy sketch, pose referenced from that meme photo that I can no longer find anywhere!
So how does everyone react to the lovey dovey ness that lasted awhile?
cuties being cuties!
also, 30 degrees c is hot, it’s 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
soon after… it get’s dark.
joel's hands are like a fidget toy for ellie! they'll be at tommy and maria's sitting around the kitchen table and long after dinner's over, joel will have his elbows resting on the table and ellie wordlessly grabs his hand and pulls it on her lap and traces his palm and knuckles, joel doesn't even react he just continues his conversation with tommy
The fact that Sozin was born the same day as Roku when everyone in that world knew the next avatar after Kyoshi was going to be born in the fire nation makes me a bit suspicious that the royal family may have induced labor for his birth when they learned Kyoshi was close to death.
Basically, I think that the Fire Nation’s royal family was attempting to deliberately have a Fire Lord Avatar.
And the scary part is how close they got.
Anyone who tries to tell me that Azula doesn’t end up being the shortest in her family other than Iroh is wrong.
Zuko is taller, Mai is super fucking tall already, Ty Lee gets one of those weird growth spurts at like sixteen (it happened to me I got +2 inches), and Kiyi is eventually taller than Azula too. The entire concept of her being the strongest Firebender ever while she is (conceptually) the smallest is hilarious to me.
Mai: “If you can’t reach it just ask. I’ll get it for you.”
Azula: “Fuck you, I don’t need your help.”
Azula: *starts climbing the library bookshelf to get to the one book she wants all the way at the top*
— — —
Zuko: “I’m taller so I go first.”
Azula: “What does that have to do with anything? No one says that! You’re supposed to say it’s because you’re older.”
Zuko: “Yeah, but I like rubbing it in that I’m better than you at something.”
Azula: “Being tall isn’t a skill.”
Zuko: “That’s what short people say.”
— — —
Kiyi: “I was going to make a joke about you being short but then I figured that would be mean.”
Azula: “You know, sometimes it’s nice to keep your thoughts to yourself.”
— — —
Azula: “Stupid fucking genetics. This is Iroh’s fault.”
Ty Lee: “Technically he had nothing to do with it.”
Azula: “Hush, I need someone to blame for my being small.”
Ty Lee: “If it makes you feel better I love that you’re small so I can give you all the forehead kisses in the world with ease.”
Azula: “That makes me feel a little bit better but just barely.”
Reunion for Dadrius week @sergeantsporks
The ferry ride and train station scene happen like in canon. Jet sees Iroh heat his tea and assumes he’s a fire bender.
But unlike canon, he thinks Li is either a non-bender or an earth bender who is being coerced/kidnapped. Instead of going to the authorities, he tries to help Li personally. He wants to be there for him. Be supportive. Help him get away. So he keeps up a pleasant relationship and often stops by the tea shop. Occasionally, he and Zuko even go to friendly outings together.
Today is such a day.
Jet has already tested the waters a bit, but made no outright accusations. Zuko knows that Jet is suspicious, be he doesn’t know anything more than that.
But slowly, Jet is starting to loose his patience. He has shown Li that he can be trusted. He has shown Li that he can get him safely away from his abuser. Why does he keep evading his questions? Why won’t he admit the truth?
Finally, he snaps.
“Your uncle is hurting you! You don’t need to lie to me.”

AZULA GET BACK HERE-
Any fire siblings concept that gives them this vibe is an automatic favorite
