Zutara Month Day 9: Scars

Tumblr ruined the quality again ahaha :'>

I hope you guys aren't tired of me talking about this au cause I brought it back for this prompt and honestly might bring it back again for day 27 akdhdjks

@stardust948 wrote this fic based on this au and I got inspired and added a few things from here. Thank you again for writing this 💕💕💕

This is the part where I kinda explain how the flowers work cause it do be a bit confusing. Flowers appear on your body whenever your soulmate gets injured. As their injuries heal, the flowers slowly fall off then stop growing. They only stay if the injury leaves a prominent scar. You can pick the flowers but they will come back as long as your soulmate has an injury or a scar. They don't grow back immediately tho and take quite a while to pop up again. I like to think that Katara gets used to picking her flowers because they remind her too much of Kya's death, so only Sokka and Zuko (back in the catacombs) have seen them. Also when your soulmate dies, the flowers wither away when they fall off. I think you'd be able to feel them when they wither, so that's what happened to Hakoda when Kya died. (The flowers he got are hydrangeas from the fic I mentioned)

I actually had another part of this which was a Zuko pov, but this was already taking too long and it's a day late already so I ended up not doing that. But like if anyone wants to see it I could maybe clean up the sketch and post it

i couldn't stop thinking about zutara with this audio so i went ahead and made a short animatic (based on their cave scene in book 2!)

idk how it turned out bc i made this as a brainrot-fueled machine who just wanted to materialize her visions but.. i hope you enjoy (eng cc available!)

This is supposed to be the middle of the “I waited [outside your tent] all night” AU but it’s only the less ugly parts of it in case I never finish. Ahah. The rest is just rougher sketches including a start and an end blargh.

In 4th grade, my bff was in a death feud over chess with a boy in our class but instead of competing like normal people they decided that the best way to determine who was chess master was for each of them to select one of the two biggest idiots in class and teach them to play chess, My Fair Lady style, and see whose idiot won. We are just now, 22 years later, grappling with the moral implications of this exercise.

I’m obsessed

Help I am obsessed with your artwork and your recent Hades/Persephone work has me dying with happiness 🥺

I just love Perseys big long floofie hair, I can totally see Hades twirling it around his fingers or burying his head in it and smelling with all of its pretty pink flowers >w<

Bonus points when they wake up beside eachother and he's bald (so not to burn her in his sleep by accident) and she just has this RAT MANE of hair and flowers and they're both just infatuated with eachother LIKE 😭😭❤️❤️

Thank you so much!! This is absolutely canon by the way 🫣

Here’s a lil doodle because that last part is TOO MUCH

She wears a lot of her hair up and is just drowning in it whenever she takes it down ❤️

hi i sent an ask about persephone and hades a lil while ago!! heres some questions i had :3

1. how did they officially meet?

2. what were pain and panics first impressions of persephone?

3. persephone looks older then some of the other gods (like hera and aphrodite) is she older then them? i really like that you gave her some wrinkles :]

4. any issues that come up in p/h's relationship? like goals, little pet peeves, etc

5. how angry has persephone seen hades get? and vice versa, how angry has hades seen persephone get?

Hey!! Glad to have you back!!

1. I have this idea that their meeting is almost entirely by chance, in the series he loathes spring and tries to sabotage it and I really want to channel that energy into my funny little AU (which actually takes place post film) 😂 It’s during Spring that he officially runs into he, she’s just doing her Cthonic goddess thing and Hades is up top causing problems as per usual, when he sees her manifesting apricots on a tree, aaand obviously an unattended goddess is fair game! Sidenote but I like to think Eros is the one that gives him the low-down on who she is, kind of encourages him to make a move, mostly because it’s a welcome distraction and keeps him out of his hair.

2. They were extremely weary of her at first, the assumption was that anybody Hades brought home wasn’t going to be nice to them. Once they realize that’s not the case she pretty much becomes their favorite person.

3. Thank you!! I have gotten this question a lot! I like to think of Hades being somewhere in his early to mid-forties, and it just felt right to put Persephone somewhere in her thirties (leaning toward 33-34). I imagine her being quite stressed and possibly overworked most of the time, which has imbued in her a kind of maturity that makes her age difficult to peg on face value. Since I’m working with Disney logic rather than historical accuracy, I figured that was an appropriate age! I wanted her to be young enough that she found Hades’ idiosyncrasies endearing rather than immature, but still old enough that she wouldn’t be intimidated or put off by his outbursts. I don’t envision her being older than either of them, no, actually the opposite! But her job is much more “hands on” which I think makes her appear a little more weathered, if that makes sense?

4. Oh this is a fun one!! *rubs hands together evily* So naturally there’s issues because they are so different from one another! On one hand, I imagine Hades’ impulsive and impatient nature (along with the way he tends to take his frustration out on his poor minions) is a point of contention between the two of them. My Persephone’s personality is very dry, deliberate, even tempered and easy-going. She’s not easily irked, but I imagine when she is pushed into a corner her temper can be pretty ferocious. My mom always likes to say that spring “comes in like a Lion and goes out like a lamb” 😂 which is a very fitting description of this Persy! She doesn’t necessarily agree with Hades’ initial style of management, which obviously softens up over time as their relationship progresses. When it comes to goals! Persephone loves her solitude and independence, she’s a free spirit and the idea of being tied down bothers her. She doesn’t prefer the company of the Olympians and she finds their social politics/drama incredibly draining so I think the one major issue she would go into that relationship having is this fear of losing her autonomy and being trapped in an exhausting relationship. She waffles a little in the beginning, not quite committing to her feelings for him because she likes not having to be beholden to anyone. Hades’ goals I imagine change once he prioritizes her company. I think he’d be willing to give up his desire to overthrow Olympus to keep her around, so I definitely don’t think there’s much holding him back from being with her. After his massive blunder in the film, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Although I see them changing perspectives on eachother’s stations and therefore developing a deep respect for one another, I do think Persephone’s holistic lifestyle would get on Hades’ nerves in the beginning, and vice versa. They manage to find a balance that works for both of them. I also think Persephone would initially find him a little dishonest and pushy which would drive her crazy, as well as the way he picks on Pain and Panic. He doesn’t have an off-button either which she’d have to get used to. In the end though, they’re both the black sheep of the Pantheon and they find comfort, solace and understanding in one another. ❤️

5. Hades’ fuse is so short it’s practically nonexistent, so I imagine Persephone has seen him get angry a lot, but in my head I like to believe the angriest she’s every seen him was when he was coming to her defense against her mom (which is a sort of long story I’ll save for another time!). I think it’s the first time she feels it’s genuine, not simply an overreaction or irritation, but like actualrage. For Persephone, since her buttons are so hard to push, he’s probably only seen her truly angry a couple of times. I envision her being seriously unreasonable when she gets to that point though, and it takes her a while to cool off. I don’t have a specific event in mind for this (yet!) but I think one of the times she’s been absolutely livid is when he first draws up the agreement with Demeter to keep her for half the year in the Underworld. She hates the idea of feeling like someone has more control over her life than she does!

I hope that answers your questions!

Here’s a collection of sketches/doodles I’ve been sitting on with my Persephone au 🙏 I have five more that couldn’t fit within the limit so I’ll share them in a separate post later tonight

I’m trying to flesh out what their interactions/dynamic are like and maybe I’ll go back and do some more polished pieces with them later

I’m in so deep, I have like this whole secret plot formulated in my head 🫣
