That is the look of a man, who is ready to risk it all
always fucking LOOKING at him you need to stop this nonsense bro
This!
You know, if the writers didn't want the Robby/Zara situation being portrayed as SA, they shouldn't have written a SA scene between them in the first place. Sucks to suck.
You're a 100% right. It does seem like they wanted relationship drama and picked SA before anyone could say anything else. It's framed like 'which girl will he choose' and more misery for Tory when it is a traumatic thing for him. It's disgusting.
Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and Iโm writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.
The ongoing war has devastated my family. Weโve lost 25 family membersโeach one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeplyโtheir laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to surviveโthings that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.
๐ Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. ๐ Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. ๐ Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my familyโs dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. ๐ข Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.
Iโm sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if youโre unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.
Your kindness, no matter how small, is something weโll never forget.
Your support is not about changing our entire situationโitโs about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you canโt donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.
Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family โค๏ธ

My girl katara deserves the best of the best!
While I don't participate in shipwars (multishipper) i have always noticed how it is always is aang better for katara or zuko? it is never who is better for zuko mai or katara ?
Are we really still having Kataang/Zutara shipping war debates in 2024? Like I sort of thought we all agreed collectively that Zukka is the only real option.
bro my sister is actually so smart
so yknow how Zukoโs scar is worse directly around his eye?
and there are a lot of reasons that could be but also consider this (and this is what my 12 year old sister came up with)
Zuko was sobbing and refusing to fight his father when Ozai burned him
his tears literally became boiling water against his eye.
Robby and tory dancing to In your eyes in season 4 episode 8, lives in my mind rent free.
A sokka I drew instead of focusing on my chemistry lesson ๐๐.
With a ton of text about cultural inspiration.
The main book 2 look
I wanted to show cultural differences between the tribes, so Yue's look is sort of Mongolian. There were Mongolian-styled hats in the Northern tribe, and Yue's dress under the coat looked like a Mongolian deel (thanks @atlaculture for all these posts about clothes and everything else!), so it's not much against the canon information.
So she's wearing a deel again with a second layer - there are chinese actors on photos as far as I know; I hope it's okay. One-shoulder silhouette refers to later Aang's clothes because Yue is still kind of a spiritual person (she wasn't a fighter, so I want her to have some other useful talent โ not a bender or healer like Katara or a non-bender warrior like Suki). Violet, pink and white were originally her colors, no changes here. Three blue characters would be too much for a group of five, and total white is not practical at all. I like to think that violet color shows high rank in the Avatar universe; in the original series it was only worn by princess Yue, Kanna, the chief Hakoda's mother, and by king Bumi.
Yue's boots here are mongolian gutals/gutuls (the collage is already big, but I used them again for one of Book 3-looks).
Her hair become simpler โ just two braids and a hairpiece, to match her previous decorated hairdo. I guess if she's travelling with the Gaang she's not that much of a Moon Spirit anymore (maybe she returned the part of the moon spirit that saved her and was healed other way?), so I decided to forego the moon-referring part. Also it will be easier to do by herself since she has no servants now... The headdress I took from modern Mongolian dancers; the front part is crescent-moon-shaped.
The Ba Sing Se dress
I fell in love with this Ao Dai dress, it's simple, long and elegant. But... it's mostly Vietnameseโฆ and I'm afraid that it's modern and not historically accurate. Also it does not really go together with other Ba Sing Se dresses :( because I did not want to just copy-paste some background look. But there is at least one dress with a tail, thigh high slits and a standing collar on the dress underneath, so... I guess my choice is not that bad? The tail makes her look more royal. The fan is the same which Toph and Katara had. For the palette I chose Yue's white color with EK greens and warm yellow/ochre to match Katara and Toph. The hairdo is copied from the series; I chose one with the tassel on the right, to refer the NWT/Korean accessories.
The Fire Nation disguise
A confession โ I don't like FN clothes. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it properly, so I almost copied that attire (left one) โ asymmetry, as a Thai touch, which again matches Aang's Invasion Buddhist-like clothes. The palette keeps Yue's signature white, with some pink of a warmer shade, as they wear it in the Fire Nation. And the "royal" long skirt, 'cause she's still not a fighter. The look is simplified so I could not keep zigzag ornament on her longyi skirt, therefore I moved it onto the top part.
I used Thai dancers jewelry and...ย flip flops? idk how they are called in Southeast Asia (don't like Sokka and Katara's FN shoes at all, why the design is so complicated?).
For covering her hair I used a turban, inspired by Myanmar turbans; a white one, so if some hair will show, it won't be too noticeable. Also Yue could still be easily recognised on screen/page by her white head. The long end of the fabric on her right resembles burmese hairstyle silhouette.
The Invasion-and-till-finale look
For her dress I used a deel (again); the sleeveless jacket is an hommage to her original design and has some Korean vibes, like Toph's Ba Sing Se dress (at least I hope so). Katara and Sokka's season 1 looks have Korean influence, so I guess it's okay. Gutals are from her Book 2 main look. I have a soft spot for them.
My favorite thing is her hair :)))) It's a mix of Inuit/Mongolian braids and a hairpiece, also from the Book 2 look. This time there will be more braids. Two on the front โ I wanted to keep them from her original hairdo, but now they are braided together (I saw this on the Alaskan Inuit/Eskimo women photos). On the back there are five, inspired by a Mongolian hairdo for young unmarried girls, who wore multiple braids. I decided to make five, because Alaskian Inuit language uses this amount for counting and with two front braids it'll make seven, which is a lucky Mongolian number. And in theory a limited number should be easier to animate.
The post-canon noble look
After the final battle I thought Yue will come back to Agna Qel'a and become a more active political figure. I chose a white kuspuk (blue color is still for Katara and Sokka), showing that she is ready to lead her tribe after this journey, not the passive perfect princess she was before. "She is associated in canon with the masculine yang of the yin and yang and the moon which, in most Inuit and Eskimo cultures, is considered masculine as well. While white kuspuks are associated with men and specifically family patriarchs, a feminine kuspuk in white makes plenty of sense for Yue's character" โ @mostly-mundane-atla helped me a lot with the cultural meaning of the clothes (I am so grateful!). Also it's an hommage to her total-white Moon Spirit look. And I changed her hair again to Greenland updo with two tied braids on the front โ more complicated than the simple braids she wore during the journey. It looks formal.
NWT is less Inuit-inspired and has a strong Mongolian touch (to make them look more "modern"? dunno) but I guess the formal wear for the spiritual princess could refer to older traditions. Which should be the same with SWT, 'cause SWT was originally a part of NWT โ or so I heard. For example, Kuruk, the NWT Avatar who lived about 400 years ago, has nothing Mongolian in his look.
All the looks are simplified to match the style of the original cartoon. I know there should be more details and embroidery, but my goal here was to draw something (at least theoretically) applicable for animation. And no Hahn's betrothal necklace of course.
Also I want to mention here other great Yue designs, since they are the inspiration behind the overall idea of the post โ the moon looks and "Yue joins the Gaang" outfits by amazingly talented @chiptrillino.
P.S.: an important note
This is my first attempt ever to design outfits that could fit the world of A:tLA. I am not Asian or ingenious, not an expert in their cultures or costume history at all, not a professional character designer. I am just a fan who tried to create designs with respect to real cultures and people. Nothing here was supposed to be offensive in any way. If something still is โ please inform me so I could fix it as soon as possible.
I hope, as a fan, I have the right to draw fanarts looking for an inspiration in the cultures that inspired the original cartoon.
If you see mistakes in my post, be it in drawings or a text, also feel free to tell me. I will deeply appreciate it.
If yall had actually seen the show.. Zuko doesnโt shy away from pda at all, he actually initiates it most of the time. He always makes it apparent that youโre together and there for him. He can be a jealous fucker too but he can learn to control himself with time like anyone else.
When he was with Mai he pretty much always had his hand on her when they were together. Why would that change with age? No, it only gets better. Now that heโs lightened up some heโs more carefree about pda than ever.
When you go grocery shopping, heโs holding your hand while pushing the cart with the other. When you go out on walks, he has his arm around your waist pulling you close to him. While watching tv together heโll either have his hand resting around your shoulder, or youโll be tangled up together on the couch. Same with laying in bed at night, he will wrap his arms around your waist and rest his head on yours, his chin pressed up against your shoulder. Some nights youโll lay on his chest, legs overlapping, and his hand travels slowly up your shoulder then down to your thigh repeatedly for hours.
Youโre lucky to get him to turn around and have him lay on your chest or be little spoon tho. only if heโs really tired and you so happen to walk in on him taking a nap perhaps, then will he slowly turn towards the light youโve let in and pull his sheets up for you to get in. He makes no effort to turn you around so you slide you hand under his head before he falls back to pillow and pull him on your chest. he puts up no fight, quietly wrapping his arms around your stomach and drifting back to sleep.
Donโt ever do my man zuko and his pda loving self like this again๐ญ
