I Drew Jet :D Decided I Should Draw Someone Other Than Zuko And Sokka For Once And Lowkey, Slayed

there’s a little detail that i didn’t notice about “the blue spirit” when i first watched it.  when zuko returns to his ship after his misadventures at ponhuai, avatar-less and honorless and still puzzling over aang’s speech and having made an enemy of zhao and probably severely concussed, iroh is there on deck.  

music night happened the previous night.  and yet it’s morning when zuko returns, and iroh is still playing the tsungi horn on deck.  

iroh waited up all night for zuko to come back.  

it’s such a small detail, but speaks volumes about their relationship.  iroh not only allows zuko to sneak out in order to free the avatar in order to preserve his chance at regaining his honor, iroh actually subtly encorages zuko to free aang from ponhuai, even though he clearly knows that there’s every possibilty that zuko will be caught by zhao and iroh will not be able to save him.  

as the guardian of a teenager, iroh’s influence over zuko is limited.  iroh must allow zuko the freedom to chase after the destiny he thinks he wants, iroh cannot always protect zuko or keep him out of danger, iroh cannot even demonstrate affection to zuko in the way he would clearly like to because zuko is too hurt and guarded to be able to accept it from him - 

- but iroh can wait up for him.  

iroh can sit up all night, just to make sure that zuko gets home safely.  

and it is such a striking element of their relationship, because I waited up all night for you becomes the unspoken love language by which they communicate caring and affection for each other.  

iroh waits all night for zuko to return safely from ponhuai stronghold. iroh stays up while zuko sleeps on the ferry and waits up for zuko to return home from his date with jin. iroh sits up all night watching over zuko when he is sick and feverish.  

and it’s not one-sided, because zuko waits up for iroh.  

zuko waits up all night watching over an injured iroh after azula blasts him with blue fire.  zuko sits up all night waiting for iroh to wake up when they reunite at the white lotus camp.

and this gesture becomes so important to zuko that it even becomes the way he demonstrates caring and concern for the members of the gaang.  zuko waits up all night in appa’s saddle, knowing that sokka is planning a rescue mission.  zuko waits up all night for katara to wake, knowing she needs to confront her own deeply-felt anger before she can understand and let go of it.  

and this even is the gesture by which aang first demonstrates friendship to zuko.  after zuko is knocked out by an arrow to his blue spirit mask, aang sits up with zuko for the rest of the night until zuko wakes up, just to make sure zuko is all right.

and the concept of sitting up all night for you is such a poignant contrast to zuko’s memory of his mother, who vanished out his life in the middle of the night, waking him up for a last goodbye.  

it’s pretty clear that iroh sitting up all night with a sick child was far from an unusual occasion.   i think it was probably really important for zuko to be shown, again and again and again, that he has someone who will be there when morning comes.  

one parent left zuko in the night - but one parent will always wait up for him to come home.  

some comfort from dear uncle

title for Zuko sexual learning curve story: “Why Am I So Bad at Being Good (in Bed)?”

My friends got me on EPIC: The Musical, which got me on some Greek mythology, so I’m in a phase now

And today/yesterday I’ve been drawing Apollo and Hermes, inspired by the animatics I’ve seen other artists do for EPIC

They’re very sketch

That’s the first one I did of Apollo, you will notice, for both Apollo and Hermes I draw them very, as my friend said, like twink thirst traps 😭

Added a leg slit(?) in his skirt because he can be sluttier. Him with his lyre/bow ✨

Next I tried Hermes, but the first sketch I did I wasn’t the biggest fan of :/

The only thing I couldn’t get right was the face/helmet. I’ve been not so good at drawing front facing view of faces for some reason lately

The second try with a different ish look came out better

This Hermes is more inspired by EPIC if you couldn’t tell by the sunglasses in his hand and the Dawling ✨ (Troy is so meant to be Hermes. Wouldn’t You Like and Dangerous are my favorite songs in the musicals Istg)

Another Hermes, yapping

That one was mid but oh well

Next I drew both of them together

They’re besties, they gossip, they ate

I did add a hairpin to Apollo, and on it is like, the same charm that Hermes has on his messenger bag, a stone with a wing/feather

Plus another of them yapping

Also gave them friendship necklaces cuz why not lmao

And last but not least I again drew Apollo

Not as proportionate as I’d like but good enough, my creative juices with drying out. I added an arrow tattoo to his thigh because why not (speaking of I love the sun tattoo on his pec)

Anyways that’s been my little drawing craze from the last few hours, maybe when I get my hands on my drawing tablet I can crank out a piece that looks as good as my pencil sketches

I like happy things sometimes

I am tired of punching in the wind

I am tired of letting it all in

And I should eat you up and spit you right out

I should not care but I don't know how

IS AO3 DOWN.

reposting some of my ATLA fan arts

Flip your phone for best experience

Enjoy:)❤️❤️

I made a tumblr for the sole purpose to post/share this little fanart of @lovelyelbowleech ‘s fic War Games! I drew Zuko and Sokka on Dumpling —not any specific moment, but I did draw zuko with season 3 length hair and with earth kingdom clothing, and sokka with his wolf tail and his usual water tribe clothes

It’s definitely not the best fanart out there, but it’s the first fanart I’ve drawn of zukka and Alta overall, and I’m quite proud of it :) The All’s Fair series are the first Atla/Zukka fic I’ve read and goddamn, it’s amazing, and I’m loving it, I’ve never read a fic over 200k words before, and I’m surprised I’ve gotten through it, and I can’t wait for the rest of the fic!
