Some More Side Portraits, Avatar Edition :)

Outfits for zu spending some quality time in ba sing se

Some insight on my hcs for these outfits down below >:)

i first started this sketch it was just me trying to put fem zu on cute kimonos but i kept having new ideas

the 1st one is adult zuko visiting iroh in the earth kingdom. i designed the patterns around fire lilies >:) bc of the unhealthy amount of zukka fics i read where sokka called him fire Lilly fai so itd prob be a gift from him...

The hair pin only loosely attached bc he’s in vacation??? He’s not abt to go all in in w some over complicated hairstyle

The 2nd would be set on book 2 after they opened the jasmine dragon where iroh had some extra money and decided to get his nephew a lil gift.

I mixed up some stuff I saw on Pinterest for the kimono. The colors are brighter and more varied to like the clothes you’d see ppl for the upper rings wear. Also my favorite detail! The lil jasmine hair pin.

I would tag it another 🏳️‍⚧️fem zuko post but I like this scenario in general so take it as you will 🫶🏽

Friday

This my first tumblr fic so it could definitely be better but yea. I wrote this in a frenzy last night hope you guys enjoy.

7:36pm, Friday night and Mark is curled up in your bed swiping through William's instagram story (when the fuck did he get so many friends?). Your at your desk playing some video game (there are way to many of them to keep track of). Mark was about to switch to snap but then you say

"Holy shit! Mark you have to see this."

"Alright alright"

Mark untangles himself from your favorite blanket and lazily pushes himself off your bed.

"Fuck I died. Lemme see if I can get back there"

Mark laughs and pulls out the extra chair at your desk before plopping himself down in it.

"What did you want to show me?"

"I'm gettn' there"

From the looks of it you were playing… sonic? That blue thing looked a lot like him anyway. Your playing a city level and… dying. A shit ton. You play the first part on this really bendy highway (how the fuck is anyone supposed to drive on that shit?) pretty much perfectly and then you bounce of this little red thing and then launch yourself into floating ball of spikes and the swear like a sailor. Mark's heard the opening cords of the level music like 5-7 times before you finally make it past the spikes of death. You do a lot of launching and flipping (since when was sonic this loud?) before entering a domed highway.

"What did you wanna show me?"

"So like there's this cool tech, idk if I can do it tho"

"Oh ok"

Mark looks down at his phone, 7:56. He rests his chin in the palm of his hand and looks back up at your computer screen. Your at a part of the level with a ton of spikes (why are there so many spikes???). You're trying to avoid a wall of em and end up dying.

"Fuckn' shitty ass fuckn'" you mumble more curses and restart. Pause the game and take off your headphones and turn up the game volume. The next 15 minutes are kinda a blur. You start messing up earlier and Eve texts him about chem today (their chem basically shit himself in front of them and curtly excused him), so safe to say Mark was only half paying attention. He did notice when you straighten out your posture he got to hear more of the music, so that was probably helping.

"Babe look up"

"Huh?"

You've stopped on a rooftop and start pointing to stuff on screen and animatly explained what the tech you'd found was. That was interesting, sounded difficult but Mark was definitely (totally) staring at your biceps rn. All that time in the gym with we'd spent was finally paying off (it was really cute how shy you were when he suggested the idea).

"Are you listening"

"I'm staring at your arms."

You wrinkle your nose and grumble a thanks while trying to hide your smile (failing miserably) before returming to your game.

"Can I try it out"

"uh, sure"

You get up and mark takes your seat. Maybe it's because you were getting the hang of the level and making it look easy but he kinda forgot that he's god awful at video games. he fuck ups and dies over the first pit, shit. no no, gimmie one more try. He launches into the ball of spikes and dies, 5 more times. He mumbling curse cause why is this so hard?

"Since when did you start cursing so much Mark?"

"Since we started dating. Your a bad influence" Mark gets to LINE (why is there a LINE of them after having to get past one. Mark is NOT built for this) of spike balls. He looks down on the keyboard and hesitantly presses jump. Sonic launches into the spikes and he fucking dies.

"I'm just a fucking boy, babe"

"and you proved my point"

Mark gives a kiss on the cheek before getting up from your seat, he's had enough video games for the next 3 months tbh.

Hope you liked it. idk if I'll be taking requests atp. If ur curious about the level they're playing, it's skyscraper scamper act 1-2 from sonic unleashed. Beenn on a recompiled kick recently and had a burst of inspiration while playing.

might delete ,, its been fucking ages since ive touched an art program so . it didnt come out as good and im not proud of how the face turned out so wonky 😭

its a quick messy doodle of a buffed out mark w a longer hairstyle <3 begging the showrunners 2 give him these side bangs .. please !! my baby would look so good w them. u could interpret this as an older ver of him,, tho hes still got that baby face

without the shine .. hehe .. he looks better like this .

Shouto gets hero suit updates very frequently
