New promotional art featuring Zuko

ok, so we all know that mai is the most apathetic character in atla. conquering ba sing se for her is nothing (ājust take the bearā), āvictory is boringā, colorfulness āmaking her nauseousā.
she always complains about how bored she is, hates almost everything/everyone and nothing/no one can make her smile.
and THEN this āemotionless-cold-flat-gloomy-whateverā girl aka āthe most bored/impassive person in the universeā cuddles around zuko, chuckles and says that would be IMPRESSIVE if he finds a fruit tart for her.
and she looks at him with such fondness as if heād already given her the whole world and even more.
Always a dance with you. šš©·
hello tumblr!! ^_^
not a new piece, but I want to start using tumblr again so I thought my drawing based off of s2 ep7 would be an awesome way to start.
Iāll be seeing you all more often wink wink š !!!!
there is a serious lack of discussion about how mai is zukoās safe space. we see this in their first appearance together (thatās not a flashback). when mai asks him a simple question, āarenāt you cold?ā and zuko, who has a hard time opening up and expressing emotions that arenāt anger or angst, freely and openly starts to tell her his worries about going back to the fire nation. and while people love to chastise mai on her reply, āI just asked if you were cold, I didnāt ask for your whole life storyā, I think they misunderstand her approach to this. zuko is worrying and overthinking about something he cannot change, something that will only drive him crazy and she tries to distract him with a joke. and it might fall flat, but she realises this and suddenly she is comforting him with her touch. her hand reaching out so casually towards scar like itās not a big deal, because itās not. theyāve known each other for a long time, theyāve grown up together and their relationship was a long time coming. and zuko leans into her hand, and her kiss, without thinking twice about it. because mai is familiar, and mai is comfort and that can be seen when you contrast it to songās attempting at touch his scar, and how quickly he was to stop her. but itās not only this moment that showcases mai as his safe space, but also when heās back in the fire nation. when heās stressed out and going through a tumultuous time, not knowing whatās right and wrong or what he should do next, itās mai he goes to. we see this in ānightmares and daydreamsā when he spends all day at her house, when he canāt stand being in the palace anymore, mai and her house and her bedroom is his safe space. and here we see her trying to comfort him, trying to say the war meeting is stupid, it would be be boring anyway, and shall we go for a ride around town? itāll be fun⦠and even though heās still sad, he goes back to her house on the day of the war meeting and sheās making him tea. and even when he does get invited to the all day war meeting, she goes to the palace with him and waits for him all day, to see if it went well and to comfort him if it didnāt. when he says that it was everything he thought wanted it to be, sheās immediately happy for him, reaching out to touch him with a smile on her face. mai is who zuko feels safe and comfortable around, even in his vulnerable moments and itās something we should talk about.
i love making these johvocgcgugx
