My First Girlfriend Turned Into The Moon🌕

I’ve noticed that a good portion of my followers are passionate fanfic writers and I’m really happy to see that my Tumblr has become a source of inspiration for people. While I’m not very knowledgeable about the technical qualities of music, I do have a pretty broad range of music that I enjoy. I thought I’d share some music from the various cultures that inspired the ATLA-verse, connecting them to different characters/settings in Avatar.

Altargana is a classic Buryat (Mongolian) folk song that compares the growth of the altargana, an enduring and evergreen bush, with the love of parents for their child. It emphasizes the importance of parents to the growth of a person, just like roots to the Altargana plant. This songs reminds me of Iroh’s quote regarding the Water Tribe:

“The people of the Water Tribe are capable of adapting to many things. They have a deep sense of community and love that holds them together through anything.”

The above video is my favorite rendition of this song, but there’s many different covers of it on YouTube.

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 🫶🏽

bonus:

His ass does not pay attention enough to know all of their genders. Toph wears baggy clothes, he squinted at her and went “yeah that’s a boy. Or boy adjacent. Probably.” and moved on. Ally???

A tale of Ba Sing Se.

hello zukka nation

all grown up

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

Thought process behind this:

It's a shame no one—absolutely no one—grabbed Zuko by the ponytail in book 1.

The general consensus that Katara acts like a booktok boyfriend.

Katara's pose is wrong perspective wise, but she came along so beautifully I didn't have the heart to change it. My job's to make the cow walk: whether it's on legs or nipples is none of my business.
