chena going from ‘i’ll break his legs’ to ‘you should have dragged him if it meant bringing him back to us’ is making me emotional and idk why
Maria didn’t give Ellie a diva cup and new clothes and a new coat and trim her hair and warn her off the dangerous man she’s obviously bonded with and take her to the movies for us to sleep on her. She saw a feral orphan child and said ‘this kid needs to be MOTHERED’
imagine that video of a mother dog who keeps pulling the weird yellow feathered puppy (duckling) back into the bed
Ellie is a bit put off by Maria’s attentions at first, but as Maria gets bigger, and people are joking to her about ‘nesting’ and being a ‘mother hen’, Ellie’s like OH, she needs this. Its a little bit easier to let herself be taken care of then, becomes a way she can take care of what she’s starting to see as her little family, Joel and Tommy and Maria and the baby.
Joel getting a LITTLE jealous of how close Ellie and Maria get, like what are they talking about over there???? Why doesn’t she trust me to tell me about it??? Turns out there are some things it’s really hard to talk to your dad about, and how to act in front of your crush when you’re already the weird new kid is one of them.
Maria telling Ellie about how AWKWARD Tommy was when they first met/started liking each other, lol. Ellie will never let Tommy live it down
just give me a straight answer, old man!!
favorite atla fics are the ones where the gaang finds out roku is zukos great grandfather and aang’s immediate reaction is to start hollering “GREAT GRANDSON!!!” at zuko like. aang’s 12 but is canonically the embodiment of embarrassing grandpa it’s perfect
Zuko and Katara got into a habit of calling each other cringe pet names out of spite when they're enemies to make each other angrier. And no one understands why.
"Oh, it's you sweetheart" she said with a sultry voice, but there's also a subtle hint of anger lies underneath her tone. She uncaps her waterskin and smirks.
"Hello again, darling" Zuko says, teasing her but his voice's also full of hatred.
They run towards each other and their battle cries mingle.
Toph wonders whether they were gonna end up make out or shredding each other in pieces.

happy pride :)
its so funny how katara stays being the only person zuko doesn't yell at when they're rightfully mad at him.
zuko with everyone: 🤬😤😡🙄
zuko with katara: im sorry 🥺 thats something we have in common 😔 what can i do to make it up to you queen i waited outside your tent all night 😕
ellie would 100% love playing with all of the little kids in jackson when she first gets there
after her and joel actually adjust to living there a little, I think she would befriend all of the kids under the age of like 9 and when she’s not hanging out with joel she’s pretending to be a dinosaur with the local toddlers
joel is a little confused because “ellie, when I said you needed to make more friends that are kids I meant…your age. not the little kids. the teenagers.” but also he loves watching ellie interact with the little ones because she always looks so happy and excited giving them piggyback rides and telling them funny stories (plus, seeing her play around with the little kids is adorable, okay?).
ellie will definitely drag him into some of the games they play and since joel is a big softie and being a dad is practically in his blood he has to agree, and so a lot of the time “joel watching ellie play with the kids” turns into “tommy watching his brother get used as a jungle gym by ten 8 year olds and a teenager” and everyone in jackson who sees it thinks it’s the cutest thing ever
new parents of young children will come up to ellie and joel just to ask if they can watch their kids for a little bit while they take a break bc of how good they are with them. more often than not ellie and joel are being followed around by lines of little kids like ducklings following their mothers. joel complains about all of them to tommy but he secretly loves every second of it (and he also loves that him and ellie both seem to share a passion for taking care of the little shits) (he calls it a family trait at one point and ellie is delighted)
ZUKO HCs PLEASE (and maybe some zukka if ya feel like it)
Zuko Headcanons!!
Zuko is terrified of lightning. I mean who wouldn’t be after your father and your sister both used it to try and kill you. Zukka side of things, Sokka absolutely holds Zuko during thunderstorms.
Zuko spends time with Uncle Iroh drinking tea at the Jasmine Dragon, and still helps his uncle make tea from time to time.
Zuko loves theater and hates the Ember Island players with a burning passion. On the other hand, Sokka loves the Ember Island players and will drag Zuko to see them. Zuko will subject himself to horrendous theater if it makes his boyfriend happy. Sokka will also go to classy theaters (even though he can find it sort of boring at times) for his boyfriend.
Zuko loves cats. Like he just adores them and absolutely makes a baby voice at them. Which was embarrassing the first time Sokka saw him do it but Sokka just thought it was cute.
Zuko likes having his hair played with and braided! Like he super loves having Sokka braid his hair (which I think Sokka would know how to do because he grew up with Katara and probably had to braid her hair at some point).
Baths! Baths are sooooo something I see Zuko loving. Like a good hot bath with a bath bomb and some Epsom salt. Like he is definitely a bath person.
Also, Zuko likes to cook. Like I can see him in a kitchen and cutting up stuff and making food. Like I know he can have anything done by servants but after his moral conflict there’s the scene where he basically insinuates that bossing around servants doesn’t make him feel happy. So I can see him wanting to make some of his own food.
Zuko is someone who has really good manners and always says thank you to the servants because he knows that they work hard.
He is not a fan of parties and formal settings. Having to go through all the political people he has to talk to just so he can get to a table to sit and then have to talk to more political leaders is really stressful. He’s not a people person.
He likes to garden. Specifically he likes to plant flowers in the garden and study them. He is just infatuated with the gentle yet brilliant plants.
Also I kinda headcanon Zuko as autistic because I feel like he definitely can get special interests. Like I can see him talking about all the flowers he has planted and how he plans the layout of the garden.
LEADER TRIOOOO my hate-filled egotistical control freaks beloveds
