thinking abt how the rest of the gaang would’ve reacted to aunt wu had they gone to makapu w katara aang and sokka. toph would just straight up be in agreement with sokka that aunt wu is a scam artist and a cult leader and she wants nothing to do with her. suki also agrees with them that miss wu is a hack but she is also very excited to have her fortune told regardless. whereas zuko fully believes that aunt wu can see the future (whether not he’ll admit this fact is another matter, but katara knows he agrees with her) and crucially, he VERY MUCH DOES NOT want his fortune read. no fucking thank you aunt wu HE DOESNT WANNA KNOW!!!!!!

Mutilated Mannequin (Part 18)
Breakfast is strangely quiet and Azula can’t place why until Ozai clears his throat. “I called Dr. Guhira. He said that he can do some revision surgery.”
Azula laughs, a few tears threatening to spill over. “Are you serious?” She pauses. “You want me to get more surgery?”
He clears his throat again. “I thought that you might…”
“No. No more. My face is already damaged enough.” Her voice hitches.
Ozai opens his mouth but Ursa’s voice fills the quiet. “What’s going on here?”
Her farther cringes.
“He’s being insensitive again, isn’t he?”
He casts her a pleading stare but she can only work to swallow down her tears.
Her expression only seems to kindle her mother’s temper further. “You and Zuko won’t have to worry about that soon.” She slaps a stack of court documents onto the table.
Something about it makes Azula’s stomach lurch.
“Azula, I’m trying to…I’m trying to fix this.”
“Then stop telling me to get surgery.”
“It’s different than…”
“I have to get to class.” She mutters as she picks up her bag and heads for the door. She doesn’t know what she looks less forward to, a run in with Jet during gym class or the tense conversation that she is about to have with Chan.
She makes her way to his locker and loiters there, running thorough her script until she sees him sauntering up. He runs his finger though his hairline. “You want to start or should I?”
Azula shrugs.
“How did I make you feel like you needed the surgery?”
“It wasn’t just you. It was actually mostly my father.” Azula admits before recounting the comment that inspired her to get work done. He rubs his face in the way that he always does when he is particularly stressed.
“I guess that, that was pretty shallow, huh?”
“Absolutely.”
“I should have told you…” he trails off, “that you didn’t need the surgeries.”
She folds her arms and replies with a soft, “yeah.” It is all she can manage for the time. What’s done is done. She considers briefly, her father’s offer. But, no, she won’t let him goad her into another operation. Not for cosmetic’s sake anyhow.
“Homecoming probably didn’t help either.”
“No.” She agreed. Not that it was of any more use that she didn’t mention what had been bothering her so much.
“So, what now?”
Azula shrugs. “Nothing, I guess. I just wanted to let you know why homecoming ended the way it did.”
Chan nods. “Kind of glad that you did.” He scratches the back of his head. “Are things going to be less awkward now?”
“I hope so or this conversation was pointless.”
He lets out a loud curse when the bell rings.
“Don’t worry about it.” Azula dismisses. “I’ll just tell Kyoshi that I was having trouble carrying all of this.” She opens her locker and pulls out more textbooks than necessary. She hands them to Chan and picks up her bag. “"And that you were giving me a hand.”
 “Ah, so you’ve discovered the wonders of being ‘helpless.’” Tops grins. “It comes in handy sometimes.”
 “Is that why you’re wandering the halls?” Azula asks.
 Her grin widens. “ Hell yes!”
 .oOo.
Kyoshi lets her join them for frisbee. “How intense can throwing around a flimsy disk get?” She clearly underestimated the sheer chaos three of the school jocks could stir.
The absurd amount of combined testosterone wafting off of Sokka, Chan, and Jet is enough to build a future resume for a frat house.
She is thankful for it; it keeps Jet from pestering her. She lingers with Katara and Yue at what she hopes is a safe distance from the sport related pissing contest. Though she has landed herself in the center of an age old rivalry.”
“Don’t let her get the frisbee!” Yue declares as Azula sends it sailing to Katara. Yue groans as the other girl’s hands clamp down on it. The girl looks smug. She tosses the frisbee back to Azula who passes it to Yue and then it is back in her hands again. She rolls her eye, realizing and accepting that they were never going to pass it to each other. 
“Mind if I join you guys?” Ruon asks. 
Azula passes the frisbee to him and he flicks it to the nearest person, Yue. “Sorry about your face.” He comments.
“It is what it is.” 
“Yeah. Chan was telling me a bit about it.” 
She finds herself pleasantly to have such a considerable amount of support. Frankly she had been almost certain that Yue would cut her out. Granted, the girl is tactlessly truthful but she has come to know that, that’s just the girl’s personality. She supposes that she appreciates the honesty. 
“Why aren’t you with Chan?” 
“I’ve taken eight frisbees to the face and we’ve been playing for five minutes.” Ruon shrugs. “I’m not into extreme frisbee.” 
The four pass the frisbee between one another. Azula watches it sail into Katara’s hands and Katara passes it to Ruon.
“Hey! You skipped me.” Yue complains as Ruon tosses it to her. 
Azula outstretches her good arm to catch it. Before she can, a different frisbee collides with the back of her head. 
“Careful, Longshot.” Jet leers. “We can’t mess up the back of her head too.”
Azula picks up the frisbee and glowers at Jet. Her gaze flickers between he and Longshot before she ultimately decides to toss it at Jet. She lands her hit square on his nose. Longshot chuckles, unaware that she still has one frisbee at her disposal. This one stikes his ear. She offers them the dullest expression she can muster, one that might even impress Mai. 
“Jesus.” Ruon remarks with a half laugh. “I didn’t realize you had such good aim.”
Azula shrugs. “I have many talents.”
“I think that Longshot is gonna whine to Kyoshi.” Yue comments. 
“Let him.” Azula replies. “Kyoshi likes me.” Even if she does get a lecture, the satisfaction of striking the both of them will outweigh it. Getting the last hit takes the edge off of the sting they left her with. 
But still, some tingles of doubt remain.
They carry her to math class and into lunch.
She wishes that her mind would stop lingering on the petty comments. They seem so small in comparison to the kindness everyone else seems to afford her.
She arranges her food, and simply observes the conversations around her. 
“Are you still taking Zuko to the comet festival?” TyLee asks. 
Yue grimances. “Oh God no.” 
“Aw, why not? He’s kind of cute.” 
“Gross.” Azula mutters. 
“The first half of homecoming was nice but then he started talking about Mai and it got awkward.” She pauses. “You still going with Kei Lo.”
“He’s nice and everything but he doesn’t like that I have to bring Tom-Tom along with us on our dates sometimes.”  Mai shrugs. 
“Soooo…is it too soon for me to asking him to the festival?” 
“Have at him.” 
Azula’s heart sinks again. She is still alone. She pretends to be interested in her meal, wishing that they would all just stop talking about dates and dances. She thinks of bringing up their sports teams, heaven knows that TyLee can talk about gymnastics for ages and Yue did love to boast about her award for her 500 meter freestyle. She doesn’t speak up fast enough.
“Are you going to ask anyone to the comet festival?” Yue asks. 
And again she takes too long to answer. 
“She can ask all the people she wants, nobody is going to say yes to a face like that.” Jet comments. “She couldn’t get a date before, she sure as hell can’t get one now.” 
“That’s bold coming from someone who lost his date.” Chan comments. 
“I’m taking Smellerbee.” He shrugs.
“Poor girl.” Yue comments, “I’d try to help her if I liked her, but she has one of those coconut haircuts and I don’t condone that kind of sin against hair.” 
“It least she isn’t made of plastic. Broken plastic.” 
Broken plastic…
Azula absently brings her fingers to her cheek. She hasn’t seen it yet, but she can feel the raised ridges of scar tissue. 
She hears Toph enter the conversation but the words never settle. The face Jet makes brings her some satisfaction, but it is fleeting as his words echo in her head. Moreso when she catches tunes in to hear him say, “you can’t even fucking see, of course you think that she’s pretty.” 
“Jet, my asshole looks prettier than you.” Toph grumbles. 
“How about this? How about you leave beauty related opinions to the people who they are meant for; people who can see. Blind people don’t get to call things beautiful.” 
Toph folds her arms over her chest and blows at her bangs. “Whatever I’d rather be blind then look at whatever you have going on.” 
She should say something. Anything at all instead of hiding behind the rest of them. But she had thrown away most of her fight with the frisbees and the rest of it has been sapped away by Jet’s commentary.
She thinks of Ozai’s offer. Dr. Guhira has always been good to her, at the very least he made her feel comfortable and like she had a choice. She can imagine that he’d be able to perform a healthy corrective surgery. 
“Good luck with the festival.” Jet’s voice cuts through her thoughts. “I bet that even that faggot Aang get more dick than you.” He offers her a final sneer before going to receive his high fives and words of praise. 
Katara starts to stand and Suki holds her down. “He can’t talk about people like that, Suki.” Her grip tightens around her empty water bottle. “Did you hear what he called Aang? Aang isn’t even  here!” 
A mist of outrage settles over the table. And through the fog, they don’t see her get up and leave. She leans herself against the wall just outside of the cafeteria. She could give her father a call…
The double doors open and Katara emerges. 
“You can get written up for ditching, you know?”
“I guess I’ll take my first write up then.” She replies. “Is this the first time…?” She looks at Azula before clarifying, “that people have talked to you like this?”
Azula nods. “I have to admit, I admire their sheer audacity.” 
Katara laughs. “I always thought that you’d have some crazy comebacks.” 
“Disappointed?” 
Frankly she thought that she would too. She seems to have them at the ready on TyLee’s behalf and on Mai’s...and Zuzu’s if he’s lucky and she’s feeling generous. But when it comes to herself she seems to lose her bite. 
“Not really.” Katara says. “I’m sure I’ll hear them soon enough.” 
“Maybe.” 
Katara pulls her into a gentle hug. Usually that is reserved for only TyLee to do, but today she accepts the comforting gesture.
.oOo. 
She is, once again, the first person to spread her picnic blanket on the ground. This time she is bundled up in a coat and several layers of sweaters that are just thin enough to accommodate her sling. 
“Hot chocolate?” Pathik offers. 
Azula holds her hand out. Stargazing and hot chocolate, she supposes that she can really use that today. She takes a sip and looks at the sky until bickering from below draws her attention away. 
Katara gives a little wave. 
“I can’t believe that you nerds talked me into coming here again.” 
“You say that every week, Yue. I think that you enjoy astronomy.” Azula speculates. 
“I enjoy the idea of free hot chocolate.” She wraps her arms around herself. “It’s too cold out for this.” She gestures to the telescopes. 
“Yes, but it’s the only time that you can see Canis Major.” Katara points out.
“And Venus is best seen this month.” Azula adds. 
“Who cares about Venus. I still haven’t gotten to see the moon.” She shiverers and burrows further into her coat. “Look at this.” She waves her arms around at the snow. “Too cold.”
“Maybe if you’d zip your coat, you wouldn’t be as cold.” Katara suggests. 
Azula hears a clatter and a muffled, “oh dear.” Katara wanders over and helps their professor pick up his telescope. When the remaining few students make themselves comfortable Pathik addresses them. “Today, I would like to start by telling a story to get us in the winter spirit…”
She never imagined that astronomy club with come with fairy tale read alouds. But then, Pathik has never been anything but whimsical. She isn’t opposed to his story choice either. 
“Hey, can I share your blanket?” Katara asks. 
Azula nods and tosses the blanket over her shoulder. 
“What about me?” Yue asks. 
“First come, first served.” Azula shrugs. 
She and Katara were the last remaining people after the telescopes have been packed away. Katara looks at her phone and bites her lip, “I forgot that Sokka had an away game tonight.”
“I’m sure that my limo has some extra space.” Azula replies. 
Her face slackens in relief. “For a second I thought that I’d be walking home. I mean, it isn’t that far but my nose is getting numb.” 
“Yes, mine too. Just like old times.”
Katara laughs, “I never thought that I’d have to help someone change nose pads.” 
“I suppose that I didn’t think I’d ever have to ask someone to help me with that.” The conversation fades out. In its place is the soft sound of sleet hitting the parking lot.
“He’s wrong you know.”
“Hmm?” Azula knits her brows. “About you not going to get a date to the comet festival.” 
“Can we avoid this topic?”
“I guess we can, if you really don’t want to go with me.” 
Azula stares at her for the longest time. “You...you want to take me?”
Katara’s hand squeezes hers and she nods. “I’d really like to give it a try. Jet was a horrible date…”
“So the bar is pretty low.” 
“So I need something extra special to make up for it. I figured that you like a challenge.” 
Azula smiles. “I do like a challenge, yes.” 
“So you’ll go with me?”
Azula nods. “I’ll go.” 
Katara leans forward, when Azula misses her cue, the girl rolls her eyes and pecks her nose instead. Katara brushes Azula’s bangs aside and leans in for a second try. Azula hesitates before tilting her head. The girl’s lips are meer inches from her own when two rapid horn bleats cause them both to jolt. 
“That doesn’t look like a limo.” Katara mumbles, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
“We’re having a family dinner.” Zuko calls from the car window. 
“We’ll have to drop Katara off first.” 
“She can come with us.” Ursa smiles. “There’s an open seat in the back.” 
“Thank you Ms. Kasai.” Katara climbs into the back. 
“You won’t be thanking us after dinner.” Azula whispers. “Family dinners are always…”
“Dramatic or weird.” Zuko fills in. 
“Are you going to tell me about your girlfriend?” Ozai asks, tapping the steering wheel. 
“Yup.” Zuko muses. “It’s gonna be weird this time.”

Why do you ship Zoe and Kayn?
I’m THAT person who ships like … Edgy, grumpy/SIlly, nerdy or Loud sweet couples and the Tall/short type couples? It’s like a thing that really attracts me and junk?? I mean, LOOK AT THESE SHIPS!
Bakugo/Ochako , KIrishima & Bakugo, Kaminari & Jiro (BNHA) (If y’all don’t think that Kirishima’s a ball of sunshine, y’all lying to yourselves) 
Peridot & Lapis (Steven U)
Gajeel and Levy (Fairy Tail)
Xayah & Rakan, Veigar & Lulu, Trist & Rumble (LoL)
Pidge & Lance, Keith & Shiro, Allura & Lotor (Voltron)
Soul & Maka (Soul Eater)
Star & Tom (STar vs. Tfoe)
Luka & Marinette (Miraculous Lady B) (i mean… i still ship CHat and LB ofc bt damn Luka)
Terra/Beast Boy, Jinx/Kid Flash, Artemis/Kid F (Teen Titans/Young Justice)
Toph & Sokka/ Zuko/Katara (ATLA)
Marcie & Bubs (Adventure Time)
Taiga and Ryuji (ToraDora)
and llike don’t even get my started on the other few shoujo anime I’ve watched :’v It’s a very specific type I don’t know. For the most part, I like seeing edgy characters act a different way – or seeing how they can change or learn how to be around people. It’s always an endearing story arc for anyone who has that Edgy loner type trope – (in my opinion – Personally, I enjoyed Zuko’s and Keith’s arcs the most, learing to accept team avatar or team voltron as his new found family and all that shit blah blah)
Same goes for Zoe & Kayn. I ship them cos of that? Also cos I feel like Zoe is one of the few champions that can QUITE POSSIBLY MAYBE (just maybe) reverse what rhaast did (which is what i’m trying to do in my comic. I really love that). We can say hey yeah well the other aspects can do that too and aurelion and the other cosmic skinned champs. Well sure! Yeah ofcourse they can – i just chose zoe cos she’s naturally curious and she likes making friends. Among all of them, I feel like she’ll be the most probably one who’ll want to ask or even talk to kayn. I don’t really see leona, diana or Panth rushing to talk to some random shadow boy with a demon arm. COmpared to zoe’s who’s just off looking going on adventures, wanting to make friends. On kayn’s side. I don’t see him like bowing down to authority apart from Zed’s. He sees himself as the best and the only reason why he has this great respect for Zed was because Zed took care of him and in a way fathered him. IThey have a bond. A relationship that in itself, is respectable. Apart from that, i don’t see him bowing down to any form of authority. It’s another reason why I think he’d actually bother with Zoe? She doesn’t really blow off that “authoritative” aura figure that most champs might give or even demand. She’s just the “Hi, Hello, WHo are you? Wanna be my friend?” Casual champ. 
I see their first meeting as kayn going who the fuck are? doesnt matter, gonna kill you now. Zoe evading his attacks and Kayn getting annoyed enough to run away from her,realizing she’s this crazy weird ass psycho that he should probably avoid. And zoe realizing oh he’s actually kinda cool … kinda cute too… he’s not scared of me? Is he trying to kill me or play with me? Oh i think he wants to play! Okay lets play 1234 ready of not here i come —– And here and there. Eventually gets used to her being around cos she just wont leave him alone and she’s not really doing anything wrong. And then one day rhaast took over cos he got too complacent, she tries to save him, not for the sake of saving him but for the sake of showing rhaast that she won’t lose to him and … and then so she goes on this crazy journey, meets up with lux, talks to yordles, hears what varus has to say and then (SPOILERS LALALA WAIT FOR THE COMIC TO FIND OUT THE REST)  For the most part, it sounds like puppy love and the way I see them is somehow like that anyways.
So yeah. Long story short, The two has a potential story to be told. Okay sure, not as romantic as say Ezreal and lux, Lux and jinx or xayah and rakan – but like, even as friends, they have some sort of story to be told and I guess that’s why i like it. They’re two vastly different and complex characters that are somehow similar in some sort of way and the stories you can create about them be it romantic or friendly or sibling-y — its nice. They have that going on for them. Pls honestly, they’re a funny pair. so comedy’s always nice to tell when it comes to ships. I don’t really care if the end game of this ship isnt marriage or a family. Frankly, I just enjoy creating content and stories about them as is. Every ship doesn’t even HAVE TO end with marriage :v FRANKLY LOTOR AND ALLURA ENDED IN DEATH :’V (yes I’m still salty about voltron season 8)
that’s it i guess? Haha i dont know if i make sense but this is the best way i could explain it, this is my opinion though, I’d respect yours if it aint your cup of tea, totally cool and thanks for asking my opinion about it! Im quite happy you asked tbh.
Tumblr media
as for the age thing i’ve explained my side once. Short and sweet. I don’t see zoe as a kid. that’s it. If i was so into the idea of pedo shit, I’d draw zoe to be as small and childlike as annie or Kayn to be as bulky and stocky of a man as graves or braum (older in general). Frankly i draw zoe with curves and Kayn looks like a teenager when i draw him. End of story.

sorry if you've already answered something like this! I couldnt find anything on ur blog. what do u think the gaang (plus the fire nation girls) would think abt astrology and/or what do you think their signs would be? thank you hope u have a good day! :)))
i feel like i must've made a post abt this at some point, but i can't be bothered to find it, and this is the closest i could get to finding a post talking abt their star signs. anyway here are their #thots on astrology:
aang: thinks it's fun. isn't obsessed the way some of his friends are, but he likes reading his horoscope and knowing what signs his friends are
sokka: thinks it's bullshit and is vehemently against anything to do with astrology. astrology culture is like if u combined the worst parts of religion and pyramid schemes??? and worst of all, it's so offensive to actual math & astronomy, which are out there being sexy as hell and don't deserve to be associated with this inanity!
katara: obsessed with astrology. is always calculating ppls birth charts the second she meets them and is like "omg it makes so much sense that u have brown eyes most sags i know have brown eyes" (and sokka's like "and also.... it's a dominant gene?" but of course she just shushes him). she has genuinely considered dumping guys before bc their star signs weren't compatible. the only time she has ever came close to disavowing astrology is when she realized that she and zuko share a sign. disgusting! sokka actually found that pretty funny tho. he was like "ok maybe there's some truth in this after all..." just to piss her off (and it worked)
toph: fuck astrology!!!! nobody tells toph beifong what to do, not even the stars!!
suki: likes asking katara questions about her birth chart because it's fun to listen to someone else try to describe you while pretending to be completely objective and impartial. she finds it hilarious how angry it makes sokka to see her take even a passing interest in astrology. he claims she's "enabling katara"
zuko: katara got him rly into it and now he's obsessed. he 100% takes stock in horoscopes, as much as sokka tries to explain to him how and why it's all bullshit. and he's like "mhmm, mhmm, cogent points, intelligently thought out, very reasonable." and sokka's like "okay.... so you agree...?" and zuko's just like "the capricorn jumped out. like. u WOULD say that lmfao" and sokka's like "OH FOR FUCKS SAKE"
ty lee: isn't actually sure whether or not she "believes" in astrology but it can be super fun to talk about it like it's real. especially when sokka is around. he'll walk into the room and she'll be like "bad day, huh?" (sokka is almost always having a "bad day," so this is an extremely easy guess) and he's like "yeah i guess so" and she's like "you know why that is, right?" ("uh yeah, because these idiots–") "it's because mercury is in retrograde." and just like that, she makes his already bad day ten times worse <3 she's such a good friend <3
mai: is team astrology is bullshit with sokka, naturally. ty lee is fine with this, she doesn't rly care, and katara would expect nothing less from mai anyway, but zuko actually gets really offended whenever mai is like "no i don't believe that the planets can affect my personality or whatever. do u not even hear how dumb that sounds" he's just like "well of course you don't believe in ANYTHING you don't CARE you're so DISAFFECTED you think you're too good for us, don't you????" and when mai points out that sokka feels the exact same way and zuko never gets on his case about it, zuko's like "well.... it's also the way you say it. like, you sort of speak in this monotone?? and it can be very grating... so maybe if you just... changed your voice..... then you wouldn't be so annoying...." and mai's like "are you serious right now." and zuko's like "just. consider it .)"
azula: of course she doesn't believe in astrology. what is she, an imbecile?? you may as well believe that the moon landing wasn't faked. suckers
