Do you have any really specific and/or personal Zukka headcanons that you’d be okay with sharing? I eat up every hc you put into your drawings like they’re candy, I was wondering if you had any others :D :D
OH boii i sure have,,, nothing coherent is coming to mind atm so ill just expose my Extensive backstories of zukka bethrotal armbands that idk if i will find a way to sneak into art.
sokka’s armband for zuko is forged back at Piandao’s mansion, and it's one of the most fine stunning pieces of jewelry ever crafted. it’s not the usual southern ivory but metal, more similar to the armbands worn as an accessory in the fire nation. it’s made of intertwining bands of gold and black meteor metal, with patterns of waves and dragon scales that seem to ripple and move when the light catches on them just right. and the pendant is a traditional blue stone from the swt.
There are no particular engagement gifts traditions in the fn, so zuko goes on a deep dive into southern water tribe ones, asking sokka’s family and friends about jewelry making and learning to engrave over the course of several trips to the swt. He makes sokka’s armband with ivory from his own first (successful) solo hunt. i’m not sure abt the material of the pendant lmao maybe gold? but amber would also be cool methinks
as for the pendant engraving they display a unique single braincell moment (untrue i just want them to match). love the fact that both of them are sea savvy navigators, love to think that in their pining era they spent a lot of time watching the stars and showing each other the different constellations and navigation pointers of their nations, so in both of their armbands’ stones are depicted the constellation used to guide sailors back home, sokka engraving the swt’s one on zuko’s armband and vice versa.
if they were sun’s out guns out kinda guys before this only gets worse during the first weeks of their engagement. shirts are banned. everyone look at the bethrotal armbands NOW.

Heart Pre-ROE / Heart Post Apathy (you're here!) / Heart Post Recovery
Well, something's sure gone wrong. Mind and Soul have some observations (and concerns).
Transcript is in read more (because I gave Soul the Lords most atrocious handwriting)
BUT ANYWAYS. LORE. This is on the first day after Soul pulled Heart out of Apathy. Neither of them know what is going on, but the guilt is slowly starting to set in. They don't know if Apathy did this, or if its something else that made Heart unconscious, but they are going to figure out a way to wake him up.
(ehe combining a reference sheet with the lore)
Indication of who's who: S is Soul and M is Mind
M: Observations on Heart's condition
S: Initial! WTF is happening
M: Concerningly, he is missing both wings
S: I'm pretty sure they fell off? There's no blood on his back. I might be sick
M: Not on the notes. Hypothesis, they fell off somehow, despite being connected to his back
S: move on pls
M: His limbs have blackened. The pattern suggests it may be moving via his veins . We have changed him into shorter clothes, for ease of examination and monitoring.
S: His limbs are FREEZING are you sure this is a good idea
M: We can cover him with a blanket. His chest, in comparison, is warm. He breathes at an even rate. That is all obser-
S: YOU FORGOT TO WRITE THAT HEART IS UNCONSCIOUS
M: Apologies. Heart was found in and has remained in an unconscious state. I have reason to believe he is in a coma. I do not know how we are to awaken him, nor what afflicts him.
S: We shouldn't have left him in Apathy. That was my mistake. I'm sorry I'm sorry
M: That concludes our current observations

"Sebastian asked me to say hello to Kimi, to tell him that he is ready whenever it suits Kimi. Sebastian has improved a lot [at badminton] during these two years and he believes that whereas Kimi is a bit rusty, he himself is much better than before. He boasts wondering if Kimi will even score one point anymore," Pärmäkoski said throwing more water on the challenge-sauna heater*.
"However Kimi is damn good and talented in every way," Pärmäkoski admitted.
excerpt from a 2011 interview with Tommi Pärmäkoski, who used to be Seb's trainer. (additional translation of the whole article here)
