Like Other Anon Said No Pressure But Like. I Love Doodles They Are So Cool. Plz Share

pov you're Darius

I have always been a die-hard Zutara shipper, but someone recommended THIS short fic last week, and now I’ve been on a Zukka binge ever since 😭 Doodled up my favorite scene from mindbending ‘s fic, “A Predictable Story” on AO3 in appreciation for being a great first Zukka experience 💕

A:TLA comm for @dottie-wan-kenobi ✨

Quirkless support course deku my beloved <3

All 12. I just need time to do the actual calendar bit but it’s almost done and will be up on my ko-fi shop as soon as I’m done.

Bonus:

For that one anon who wanted to see Zuko Carrying Zi Se @hella1975

I bet Kanut and Iroh would constantly compete to be Zuko’s fav uncle once everyone meets and stuff lmao

Today’s interest: Firelord Zuko Headcannons

(With servants)

There’s only like half the staff that the palace should have because Ozai and Azusa fired/killed/mutilated/scared off/etc. the rest

So they’re all trying their hardest to do their jobs and their terrified of messing up in case he’s just like the rest of his family

They know he’s friends with the Avatar but you can never really be sure

At first they all stay out of his way

Then, a group of younger maids see Zuko and Aang feeding the turtle-ducks

Aang pushes Zuko into the pond and the maids are sure he’s going to set the boy on fire

But instead he just laughs and checks to made sure none of the turtle-ducks are hurt

A few days later, the cook walks into the meal hall to see how everyone’s meal is going

Instead he sees the Firelord in a heated debate about theatre with Suki while Aang, Katara, Toph and Sokka are in the middle of a food-fight

The cook makes the mistake of squeaking indignantly at the sight of his hard work all over thirteen year-old faces

When Zuko notices him he quiets the other teenagers down and apologises for the mess, the others quickly following his lead

Over time, the sergeants come to realise that the new Firelord is just a regular child

An eccentric child who owns a third of the entire world, but a child

By the time Zuko turns seventeen, the entire staff has warmed to him, even the new employees who had heard rumours about what Zuko’s predecessers did

He’s genuinely kind to them and interested in their lives in a way that they’d never experienced before, especially not from a noble

Eventually it became normal for Zuko to be found in the kitchen teaching servants how to make good quality tea

Zuko also offered hugs to them

Many of them had lost people to the war, and at first he did it as a way to comfort them

He was stiff and had obviously never done it before but the servants loved that he cared about them enough to step out of his comfort zone

He was also warm and very comfortable once he relaxed

The younger, bolder servants took advantage of this by hugging him whenever they could

At first it was when Zuko was alone, then one servant accidentally hugged him when he was in front of the Gaang

Sokka and Toph thought it was hilarious

Katara and Aang joined the hug

Suki comforted the servant after she freaked out and started crying

When Zuko adopted Druk, the entire staff helped raise him

Fixed those hexside multitrack uniforms for ya 😩

I don't dislike the name change theory at all because I understand the thought process behind it, with the need to distance yourself from every trace of your abuser and all that. So like I get it. But I very strongly believe in Hunter reclaiming his name. Mostly cuz of scenes like this

It's important to him!! It's the name he uses to distinguish his true self from the persona he's built. It's the name he uses when he wants to be seen as someone other than the Golden Guard. It's the name others use when they want to express that they do see him. The name might have fucked up origins and he's clearly aware of it but being Hunter is the one thing about himself he's certain of right now.
