(1) Yao offers to bring Yong Soo out to spicy seafood hotpot for dinner bc damn that boys running himself thin as host. He goes to find Yao later and of course Kyu is standing there next to him, Hong Kong sitting against a nearby wall; they catch Taiwan and Japan on their way out and all six end up going out together. The lack of politics keeps the atmosphere warm despite the cold. The twins have teamed up in declaring their teams superior to Kikus and Yao pipes in about his being the very best;

(2) cheerful banter ensues all around the small table and eventually it all gives into praises and laughter. Movies and dramas get spoke of between talk of the Olympics and even a few good memories from centuries ago get slipped in. Sang Kyu says the already spicy dish could use more chili powder which gets a rise out of a few of the others and Yong Soo pushes more of the food in his twins direction as subtly as he can manage. Taiwan, Yong Soo and Hong Kong all seem to take a million pictures.

(3) Yong Soo is so tired from work but being here, surrounded by his closest family members in such a blissful scene, eating a talking together as if they did so every night, he feels better than he has in a century. For a moment he even wonders if this is what it feels like to be a regular human. In the morning he finds that Taiwan has tagged him in a series of pictures from the prior night and he loses his breath when he sees it-

(4) -Somehow she’d managed to capture the most perfect picture of him and Sang Kyu, shoulder-to-shoulder, cheeks red from the cold and noses dripping from the hotpot, natural smiles gracing them both in a moment of laughter. He saves the picture to multiple locations, never wanting to lose it, and his eyes begin to water when he thinks of what could have been.

This has been sitting in my inbox for several days because I just knew I had to draw it, and every time I read it I just about cry. ;u; Thank you so much for this wonderful little story, anon!

A man with imperial ambitions takes a child with a prodigious talent under his wing. He uses the child for his own ends while showing the child favor. He slowly instills within the child the belief that they are the best, that their talent makes them superior to others, and that being treated as the same as others of lesser talent, and being expected to follow the same rules as those lesser people is an insult and an unfair imposition. He plants the idea in this child that only he truly sees this child’s value, and all the other people who might care for this child are just holding them back and keeping them down, trying to make them live like lesser mortals. The child becomes more and more isolated and relies more and more on the man. until the fear and strain take their toll and they break spectacularly and fight a losing battle against one of those less talented people, a brother who loves them, and who is forced to take them down.

Who am I talking about? Azula, or Anakin Skywalker?

While I was working on the posts about how Ursa and Iroh are not to blame for Azula’s problems, it really struck me that many people severely underestimate the corrosive effects of someone like Ozai’s favoritism, and how abusive that favoritism is to the favored. But most people in the Star Wars fandom acknowledge how instrumental Palpatine’s poisoned kindness is in luring Anakin into his web and into becoming Darth Vader.

Anakin and Azula are very different characters, but Ozai and Palpatine are in fact a lot alike, and they share deep similarities in how they treat and groom their chosen favorite, and the subtle yet profoundly destructive abuse they subject them to. And much as with Anakin Skywalker, it’s a mistake to think that what Ozai does to Azula isn’t abuse and isn’t horrifically damaging simply because it looks less painful than what he does to Zuko.

Meanwhile in the USSR

Russia: So. Who broke it? I’m not mad. I just wanna know.

Ukraine: I did. I broke it…

Russia: No. No, you didn’t. Belarus?

Belarus: Don’t look at me. Look at Lithuania.

Lithuania: What? I didn’t break it.

Belarus: Huh. That’s weird. How did you even know it was broken?

Lithuania: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken!

Belarus: Suspicious.

Lithuania: No, it’s not!

Moldova: If it matters, probably not… Estonia was the last one to use it.

Estonia: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!

Moldova: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Estonia: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Moldova!

Ukraine: Alright let’s not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it, Russia.

Russia: No. Who broke it?

Belarus, whispering: Brother, Latvia has been awfully quiet…

Latvia: Really?!

Belarus: Yeah, really!

…

Russia: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it. I predict ten minutes from now, they’ll be at each other’s throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.
