I've seen kataang yuri, maiko yuri, zutara yuri, and zukka yuri all in the last week. Idk why there's a sudden outburst of yurifying ships but I'm here for it. Waiting for someone to make sukka yuri.

Another thing I've been muling over: a complain I've seen about Maiko is that she keeps him from going on the right path—and... I agree.

For Mai, Zuko's well-being is her sole concern and the rest of the world could crash and burn and that's... Okay?

Realistically speaking, your support system should NOT be one person. One thing I love about ATLA is that (despite romance writing not being one of it's strong points) the lack of ships that follow the tropes.

Kataang is not an archetype. Neither is Sukka or Maiko.

Having your support system be just your romantic partner isn't healthy (for them or for you) or realistic. But most romances do that and until I watched ATLA it didn't occurred to me that that's not a good thing.

ATLA and Maiko are very realistic in that Zuko needs both the Gaang and Mai. He needs the Gaang to hold him accountable for every shitty little thing he did—and he needs Mai there to keep from spiraling and self-destruction.

Zuko and his uncle were de facto conquerors, so they had to do much more to redeem themselves than Mai and Ty Lee (mere soldiers, but NOT innocent) had to.

Zuko had to work hard to earn the Gaang's forgiveness (personal opinion: he should've grovelled more and he should've been called out on his racism against Aang) and Uncle Iroh reconquered Ba Sing Se in the name of it's people.

They both did reparations to the very people they hurt. And their crimes were much more direct and vicious compared to Mai and Ty Lee’s.

As someone not as responsible as them, Mai and Ty Lee's redeeming themselves was at the Boiling Rock.

And well, when Zuko is Firelord right after the war—he would be paying for the crimes of his ancestors. He needs the Gaang there to keep from acting like he did with Katara pre-Southern Raiders (everyone else seems to have forgiven me!) and he needs Mai to keep himself from actually spiralling into self-destruction and undeserved guilt (Sozin's and Ozai's faults aren't his even if he's paying for it and someone needs to remind him that)

So, yeah. He needs them both for different things.

As for Mai, her conflict was that she was never allowed to express herself. And loving Zuko made up for that—she finally stands up for something she believes in (not in the cause, but in Zuko) and Zuko didn't even have to do anything beside exist. He didn't “fix her.”

Although, again I do have the the complain that Mai has to do a lot of emotional labour for him and if you really are gonna shit on Maiko: it's Zuko who needs to step up, not Mai—well, Mai tried to “fix him” and she couldn't!

That's so important to me!—I’m tired of girl fixes boy narrative. And she couldn't fix him because only he could fix himself and Mai herself is used to making the best out of a situation and being selfish/passive/choosing the path of least resistance. She tried to do to Zuko what worked for her (or maybe didn't, considering she was coping)—and well—later when Zuko's Firelord it'll be Mai who keeps him from harming himself.

Zuko needs both to be balanced out.

He needs multiple people to act as support system and that's both healthy and realistic. Mai isn't everything and neither should she be.

I know what the comics did; don't bring them up here. It's not about the comics.

Pocchiri/Obidome worn by Tokyo Hangyoku Technically, Hangyoku in every of Tokyo's Geisha districts can wear Pocchiri, but not everywhere good pictures or any pictures at all are available. Those you can see here are worn by the Hangyoku of Mukojima, Asakusa, Kagurazaka, Akasaka and Hachioji. Some of them look like those we're used to from Kyoto Maiko, some look completely different! As for the Maiko working in the other Kagai: Yoshi-cho and Oi/Omori Hangyoku can wear Pocchiri too (but no good pictures are available). Opposed to that, I've never seen a Shinbashi Hangyoku wear Pocchiri.

Inkpot Gods by The Amazing Devil is such a Maiko song like

“I’ll be the man my father never was”

“I’m more than what my mom told me to be”

“What they hear isn’t laughter, after all, it’s just your voice learning for once to stand up tall”

“And to those gods I will say bluntly, we’ve an accord if you ever touch or harm him rest assured that you might not fear a man but to woman by end you’ll kneel and plea”

“And I wish that I could take his hand but where I’m going is for me and me alone”

are you KIDDING ME CLAWING AT THE WALLS OF MY ENCLOSURE

And then it ends with a chorus repeating the line “if I don’t make it back from where I’ve gone just know I’ve loved you all along”

LIKE????? No words, I’ve become foaming mouth guy. Do yourself a favor and just listen to the song it’s so good.

Summary:

Composure. It is what her mother always called it. Mai finds ‘restraint’ to be much more suitable.

----

Or, Mai's mind wanders when it comes to Zuko.

Maiko

9.5/10

I love Maiko. They look good together but also they are a bit toxic. But I feel bad that Mai broke up with Zuko in the comic when she already betrayed Azula for him. My opinion is that Izumi is Mai's daughter and I think Zuko and Mai will get back together again.

Help me manifest: I will shut down my laptop and go to sleep now. I will not complete this in one sitting. Starting fresh and immediately doing lighting would mean this would be awesome compared to my regular art—that I finish in one sitting.

Amen.
