Pose ref by @albanenechi
Referenced Aang's mask for Ty lee and made it Pink! & no mane around it.
second time I've made art for a 9 of your storys that's a funny coincidence ^_^
Zuko and Azula would have been a terrifying finely oiled machine if ozai didn’t do his whole let’s pit my children against each other shtick.
They damn near killed Ang the one time they worked together.
Zuko, slipping on the Blue Spirit mask: I'm going out. If I don't come back, I want you to avenge my death. Kiyi: Okay!
i love making these johvocgcgugx
im sorry but ty lee and zuko as a friendship needs to be talked about more in this fandom 💔
[During The Beach]
Zuko: I'm going to get some air.
Ty Lee: There's air in here.
Zuko: I don't want your air!!!
Personal take: Even in 2025, I adore Maiko being emo teens 😄. I hope they keep their emo vibes in the future content.
Ps: imagine Izumi being a sweet girl, all smiles and giggles, while being raised by two edgy parents 😆
there is a serious lack of discussion about how mai is zuko’s safe space. we see this in their first appearance together (that’s not a flashback). when mai asks him a simple question, “aren’t you cold?” and zuko, who has a hard time opening up and expressing emotions that aren’t 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, “I just asked if you were cold, I didn’t ask for your whole life story”, 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 it’s not a big deal, because it’s not. they’ve known each other for a long time, they’ve 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 song’s attempting at touch his scar, and how quickly he was to stop her. but it’s not only this moment that showcases mai as his safe space, but also when he’s back in the fire nation. when he’s stressed out and going through a tumultuous time, not knowing what’s right and wrong or what he should do next, it’s mai he goes to. we see this in “nightmares and daydreams” when he spends all day at her house, when he can’t 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? it’ll be fun… and even though he’s still sad, he goes back to her house on the day of the war meeting and she’s 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 didn’t. when he says that it was everything he thought wanted it to be, she’s 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 it’s something we should talk about.
I love how The Search had the dumb plot line of "omg what if Ozai isn't actually Zuko's father?!" and actually has Zuko doubting it for a while, when he is literally the spitting image of Ozai.
The writers deliberately created Zuko to make him look like Ozai, who is pretty much the adult version of Zuko without a scar, and who Zuko could have turned out to be just like if things went differently for him.
azula is a maiko shipper prove me wrong
commission for @mai-fruit-tarts
THEY’RE SO AWKWARD I’M CRYING
zuko: IF I DONT GET THAT REPORT BY NEXT WEEK, I'LL END YOUR-izumi,sweetie not right now, daddy's working,oh my god, did u draw that?
Its the best description of antimaiko i have ever seen
so tired of people rushing their relationship. they’re getting back together either way and it’s best for mai and zuko to take their time.
Ashes of the Academy is on point about Mai and Zuko not being back together yet mostly because the comic takes place around a year after Smoke and Shadow. And the writer of Smoke and Shadow did say they will get together again after three years after Smoke and Shadow right? that means 2 years after Ashes of the Academy. I personally loved seeing Mai's development and her chosen career for the future. It sounds cute being Izumi's teacher at the academy and teasing her.
I do want a comic about them getting back together though. Maybe if there is a Zuko movie? or comic it doesn't matter. they do need to conclude the Fire Nation and Azula's arc.
zuko making up for his past mistakes in his relationship with mai. everything is basically set for them to begin their relationship again after a while and y’all say they won’t be endgame 🤦♀️
well, Ashes of The Academy was such a nice read. this part in particular stayed with me because it reminded me of their argument during the Beach episode and looked at them now learning to trust and resolve their disagreements in a healthy way 😚
Of course, this is the generation that will lead the Fire Nation down a better path.
Now I wish we had more of this. a whole series of Mai continuing to find her purpose. Starting first with teaching and then perhaps other aspects of Fire Nation society too.
Aang and Zuko's relationship is underrated and that’s sad
They are literally the BETTER Roku and Sozin
Not only there are great parallels/connections between the two since the first series, but is Aang (and Iroh) that ultimately makes him change sides
Let alone that Aang's kindness is the only reason Zuko is even alive. Katara and Sokka would have left him to die in the snowstorm at the north pole 😭
They are precious
Ah, Zuko asked to built an Aang statue (an huge ass statue Imao), this dude was so dedicated!
lost my mind at his new outfit . look at his little bracelets
People really try and say Katara is Izumi’s mom like honey?? That baby looks nothing like Katara??? Someone got Zuko pregnant and I know for a fact it wasn’t Katara
They don't necessarily say Katara is the mom, but they try to go "Oh, Maiko broke up in the comics, so Mai can't possibly be the mom" even though Izumi literally has the same face.
It's a blatant attempt at downplaying the fact that Zuko chose Mai over Katara or whoever they ship him with.
And let me be clear, I don't mind people just using the character of Izumi, or at least the name, in fics and making her the child of Zuko with some other woman, I do that too. The problem is the blatant denial of reality.
She's a Maiko baby. Plain and simple.
Zuko: Wow, the stars are beautiful.
Katara: Yeah they are.
Zuko: You know who else is beautiful?
Katara: *blushes* Who?
Zuko: Mai.
I really do like peter wartman art but can he pls start giving zuko his book 3 hair. He's suppose to be around 20 here, if anything he should have longer hair than shorter.
He had his hair in the finale panel in suki alone and then we just never seen it again
I like the outfit they give him in ashes of the academy but his hair is making me mad
