Just An Idea Because I Love Your Drawings So Much. How About Azula Makingg Zuko Give Her A Piggy Back

Concept: there's so much pushback against Zuko marrying someone from the Water Tribe (something about foreign interests idk) that he turns around and says "ok I'll find someone else"

He turns up the next day, and introduces his new suitor. "This is Wang Fire, respected veteran and citizen of the fire nation."

He produces all of the legal documents proving that Wang Fire is a citizen, and the council wants to argue that it's just Sokka in red with a beard, but they can't because whenever he shows up in blue, Zuko refers to him as "Ambassador Sokka."

headcanon that uncle iroh was very scary so the sailors on zuko’s ship never swore around him and zuko knows no swearwords. aang, however, knows all of them and just chooses not to use them

I GOT THE WHOLE TAOB SWT GANG (plus zuko and zi se, unplus katara and sokka. Another time guys <3) ALL DRAWN @hella1975 NFJWKSM. They are definitely not perfect, but I combined a lot of the og show, my imagination of the characters AND the other taob fanart I've seen haha

AND DID ANYBODY EXPECT A TEENAGE ZI SE I SURE DIDNT- I made this up on the spot as I was sketching stuff, don't take any of it really seriously lmao. His clothes are mixed with Fire Nation and Water Tribe because I Said So. the boy is a rascal and we all know it

(And then under the cut is a transparent version of the SWT, and one with notes all over it so I can point out the details I did on purpose lol)

good morning camp camp nation (it’s almost 2pm)

I may just be your parent.

Being surrounded by 'none biological family but might as well be' trope has me in choke hold, and honestly ima enjoy myself. Dialogue and prompt mix!

Card!

Angst:

Cradling the crying child that is not theirs in their arms after being either invalidated or abused by their actual parent/s, wiping away at their tears, and whispering gentle promises in their ear.

Fighting for the custody/adoption of a said child from incapable parents.

"WE MAY NOT BE RELATED BY BLOOD! BUT THEY ARE MINE, lay a single finder on them I will personally drag your ass to hell!"

"Where were you when the kids needed you? and NOW you want to be present?"

"No baby, I swear to you, they will not lay a single hand on you ok? go up to your room, we'll just talk, it'll be quick ok? pick the book you wanna read"

Rocking the kid back and forth after having a panic attack, both doing the breathing exercise they found online when they first witnessed their kid have their first panic attack.

Fighting and legalizing for the kid's custody or adoption because their parents aren't fit for the parental role.

"I fought for you, you're not getting rid of me that easily whether you hate me or not because I love you no matter how ugly things get"

Breaking down after arguing with the kid and hearing them scream how much they hate them and wish they were anywhere but near them.

Fighting and pushing for their kid's justice when the authorities turned a blind eye.

Serving their kid's justice themselves no matter how bloody and ugly it gets.

"Oh sweety, we didn't sacrifice everything just to build you up for someone to just bring you down. come on. I'll make sure they regret every tear that you cried"

"You don't deserve this wonderful kid! you don't see the mess you're putting them in!" "And you think you're deserving eno-" "AT LEAST I'M BETTER THAN YOU'LL EVER BE!"

"Tell me, how come they don't ever call? they're so ungrateful, after all I've done for them?" "Maybe a self-check would humble you, at least before I do"

Fluff:

Sunday routines of ice creams and park visits!

Fun sleepovers because they can stay past their bedtime with stories of their parent's earlier years.

Being accidentally called mom/dad while in the moment.

School visits and pickups when their actual parents can't! And they can get food on the way!

Being the kid's scapegoat when the kids sneak out of the house doing kids' stuff and they totally got the kid's back

"oh come on! Let the kids live a little! Not like you weren't their age once! You were far worst! Don't deny it!

Taking the kids shopping to spite their killjoy parents.

Wearing the kids creation with pride, clothes, jewelry or anything the kids gave them and countless pictures.

Parading around the streets with matching kids fashion, large sunglasses, tutus, skirts, bangles and dangly necklaces, and matching tiaras and fairy wings.

Running errands with or for the kids when they need anything.

"Oh come on kiddo, cheer up, you know you're mom can be a bit too much, I can assure you she means well"

They're practically on speed dial on every occasion there is.

Doing mani pedies with the closeted child and creating their safe environment for them and being their comfort if their parents show homophobia.

Chaos:

"NO! drop it! Don't put it in your mouth!!!"

"Where did you get that?! didn't I tell you not to snoop around where you shouldn't be snooping at?" "But come on! it's so cool! it's a self-destructive rocket ship! it's vibrating and all!"

Playing in the playground with the kids, screw being a grown-up, and sitting on the bench, if they can fit and slide in the kiddie slide they will join the kids.

Bumping every kid on-site in bump car rides, they are surrounding the kids and targeting any suspected enemy.

Dressing up as chickens taunting the kids' bullies' parents after having a meeting about it and the bullies' parents get away scot-free, they came dressing up as chickens and clucking out of the bullies' house before throwing hands.

"Geez! when I told you to hurry up I didn't want to slingshot yourself out the door." "It's effective though!" "KID YOU HAAVE A BROKEN NOSE!"

"I swear you are the reason I don't want kids!" "You love me though right?"

Picking the kids up in the middle of the day when they're requesting a pickup after cutting classes.

Playing tea parties with the kids with actual food and experiment/concoctions the kids made and they would eat that shit like it's bussin bussin.

Using their kids as partner magnets on play dates but utterly fails when said kids either pull them away or cause some type of chaos to get them home.

Egging bully houses and TPing their yards.

Camping out in the woods to try to live both of your fantasies of being fairies and or witches in the woods only to be attacked by mosquitos, bugs and no proper bathrooms

Lu Ten, shatters a window and climbs through it:

Lu Ten, turns around and helps Baby Zuko through it: Breaking and entering is wrong Zu.

Baby Zuko: Okay.

[Context is Aang's death from being struck by Azula's lightning]

Roku: He's not waking up, it's not working!

Kuruk: Yangchen, get over here!

Yangchen: I can't!

Kuruk: FOR AANG!

[Kuruk pushes Yangchen forward. She's holding a fruit pie, which she offers to Aang].

Yangchen: ...Oh, look, I have what appears to be... a delicious fruit pie! I sincerely hoped... nothing happens to... [her voice breaks and she drops the pie] OH AANG! [starts crying]

Kuruk: ... ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL HIM FASTER?

[Yangchen runs to hug Kuruk so tightly he can't breathe].

Kuruk: Yangchen!

[Kyoshi pushes both of them out of the way and walks towards an unconscious Aang. She grabs him by the robes and pulls him up off the floor, then frantically begins shaking him to wake him up].

Roku, Yangchen, Kuruk: KYOSHI!

Yangchen: WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Roku: KYOSHI, STOP!

[All of them manage to stop Kyoshi by grabbing her arms and legs. She puts Aang back down slowly].

Kyoshi: I thought... violence... would be the answer.

My Jetkotara brainbot strikes again. I just love them so much.

Pose references [X]

Bow before Chieftess Yue and her consort Chief-King Zuko.

Zukos rank is directly below Yue, which was decided by them. Arnook and the council didn't like the idea, since that goes against their culture, but Zuko was raised in a society where gender doesn't determine role. He loves his wonderful, intelligent, determined wife. She's a great leader and Zuko is a good support.
