a lil appreciation post for music teachers, including my own :”) featuring cellist zuko and teacher piandao
Zuko
he's very good at masking about 90% of the time
struggles with social cues sometimes?
he walks a very odd line between missing social cues because autism and being hyperaware of social cues because abuse victim
positive attention is a little foreign to him - people flirt with him all the time and he just barrels right on through
he scripts things out everything. practices random conversations with turtleducks. has entire scrolls of "what to say if..." laying around his room.
unrelated but his customer service voice is ever-present in Official Political Meetings
a fascinating special interest in tea
can and will infodump at the drop of a hat
lots of finger stims (they're small and easy to hide)
facial expressions mean nothing folks
super smooth fabrics bother him
he doesn't really like how fire feels - his own is pretty nice, and aang's is usually okay, but everyone else's is sketchy
hates hates hates the texture of his scar
listen zuko just infodumps a lot
need a fic where butterflies start following ellie around and she has no idea sarah loved butterflies or there's any connection whatsoever but when they're sitting outside on the porch one day and a butterfly lands on ellie's shoulder joel thinks he's going to pass out
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.”
