THIS CONCEPT >>>>>

Ok but Zuko using the knowledge he acquired during his banishment to help him as the Fire Lord. Like making small talk with Earth Kingdom dignitaries about their local foods that he enjoyed and even misses. Like having in-depth conversations with his captains about sea currents and navigation. Like, in the middle of a meeting with several high-ranking naval officials, pointing out flails in security, like how a person can cling to a Fire Nation ship for hours at a time, or climb aboard using hatches on the upper decks, or disguise themselves as a lower ranking guard with easily accessible spare armour….

Though none of his experiences can prepare Zuko for the long, awkward silence that comes after he admits to doing or at least knowing something illegal and/or completely buck wild

Autistic Hunter Week Day 1: Special Interest/Infodump

@spinaroos-47

“Whatcha got there?” Luz tapped the table in front of Hunter to get his attention. “One of Eda’s?”

He lifted the book to show her the title without answering. Why Won’t My Palisman Eat? And Other Problems You May Encounter with Your Lifelong Partner.

“Is Flapjack okay?!”

“Yes. Why wouldn’t they be?”

“Because you’re… reading a book about how palisman get sick?”

“Sure. Did you know that they heal like regular animals if they get hurt? Even though they’re made of wood? But that would mean they’re generating palistrom wood by eating regular food! So hypothetically speaking, you could generate an infinite amount of palistrom wood by cutting off pieces of a palisman and then feeding it so it could heal!” he reached up to the palisman nestled in his hair and scratched its head. “Not that I would. Anymore.”

“Found a game hack,” Luz joked, “Infinite palistrom wood glitch. Why are you reading the book if there’s nothing wrong with Flapjack?”

“The books at the emperor’s coven weren’t really about how to take care of a palisman. There were a couple, but, well, you know. Not much need to take care of them when your plan is to…” Hunter shook his head. “Anyway, there are a ton of weird things palisman can do.” He held up a different book, this one called The Legend of the Palistrom. “Not sure how accurate this is, it’s a mythic folklore kind of story about the first palisman, but there’s bound to be some truth in it, right? Because legends are usually based on fact. It was a nice story, though.”

Luz sat down at the table as he flipped the cover of a book back and forth.

“Supposedly, palisman can hold memories from the perspective of their witch, but no one’s said how to activate and view it yet, not in any of the books I’ve read. Is it like a memory in the mindscape where you can enter it? Or is it more like an echo mouse eating a book and being able to project it as something to watch? And—okay, get this, this is weird, a palisman can not only recognize descendants of its owner, BUT will also recognize palisman carved by its owner’s family as a kind of blood relative! But it DOESN’T recognize a palisman carved from its own tree as a sibling. That being SAID, there’s an old legend that if you carve your palisman from the same tree as the tree of your betrothed, you’ll be partnered for life. The explanation behind it is that your palisman is your lifelong partner, so if you carve yours from the same wood… but that doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it? I mean, if they don’t recognize each other as siblings regularly, why would partners matter? Unless it’s a combination of the family recognition AND being carved from the same tree? I don’t know, it’s probably just a romance legend that doesn’t have any fact built into it. Just sentiment, you know?”

“Probably,” Luz agreed, “It sounds sweet, though.”

“If you’re into that kind of thing. You know, all of the books mention that palisman all speak the same language, but I’ve DEFINITELY heard different sounds coming from them, and Gus and Willow’s don’t really make sounds at all—wait, hey, how do Gus and Willow know what they’re saying?!” He stood up abruptly, pushing his chair back and holding his hand out for Flapjack to turn into a staff.

“Where are you going?”

“To ask them. Duh.”

And in a flash of gold, he was gone.

Fire Lord Zuko passing a law that forbids challenging anyone under the age of majority to Agni Kai

Fire Lord Zuko waiting until the day he reaches the age of majority to pass this law, lest anyone think he is a coward

(No one. Literally no one would have thought that, but it’s generally regarded as a very classy move regardless)

ahhh finally finished up a doodle i started in the spring

okay but the idea of ellie just. gaslighting people in jackson who try to be nosy and ask about her being adopted by maintaining that she’s his biological child 

just totally deadpan “yeah everyone says i look JUST like him” 

*visible confusion of someone DESPERATELY trying to make the math work*

Hunter would be the perfect guard dog on Christmas Eve though. No one is getting into that room before they‘re authorized to unpack their presents. No. One.

You get up to try and sneak downstairs early in the morning when Camila is still asleep and you just see glowing magenta eyes staring at you from the bottom of the stairs. I'd go back to bed.

[ID: several doodles of an AU about zuko from avatar. first is a comic of young zuko and ursa, where ursa is telling him a story ending with, “but the avatar went into hiding. and he hasn’t been seen for a hundred years since.” zuko is looking at clouds in a circular formation, and says, “he come back, though?” ursa starts to say, “well, zuko, we don’t know when or if—“ but zuko cuts her off by saying, “no. don’t you see it, mom? he will come back.”

second is a page of interactions between zuko and aunt wu. one is her happily saying to him, “you have the gift!”. another is a comic of them where zuko is saying, “how do you tell the difference between a prophecy and a dream, if—“ and aunt wu cuts in to say, “now dead, you’re at the tender age where dreams of love are common, and—“. zuko panickedly cuts in, “—the world ending! the dream is about the world ending.” there is also a section of iroh and wu flirting while zuko angrily shouts in the background.

lastly, zuko is with katara and sokka. he says, “uh, i’m zuko. and well… i’m a fortune-teller.” katara excitedly asks, “really?!”. sokka doubles over laughing, shouting, “you’re what?!” while zuko angrily shouts back, “i am!” and katara chastises sokka. there is also a panel of zuko giving katara a palm-reading while sokka is in the foreground with a pained expression, proclaiming, “it’s not real!”

fortuneteller zuko au or smthing

Zuko

he's very good at masking about 90% of the time

struggles with social cues sometimes?

he walks a very odd line between missing social cues because autism and being hyperaware of social cues because abuse victim

positive attention is a little foreign to him - people flirt with him all the time and he just barrels right on through

he scripts things out everything. practices random conversations with turtleducks. has entire scrolls of "what to say if..." laying around his room.

unrelated but his customer service voice is ever-present in Official Political Meetings

a fascinating special interest in tea

can and will infodump at the drop of a hat

lots of finger stims (they're small and easy to hide)

facial expressions mean nothing folks

super smooth fabrics bother him

he doesn't really like how fire feels - his own is pretty nice, and aang's is usually okay, but everyone else's is sketchy

hates hates hates the texture of his scar

listen zuko just infodumps a lot

Zutarians i lowkey wanna see some of your responses and debunks by this post 😭😭💀
