there is a carnation in my ankle

there is a carnation in my ankle a small seed planted by my mother, watered by my father. i can feel it grow day and night the thrumming of water rising the sun hits my calf it smells like sugar

there is a bud in my thigh i can feel it move the opening and closing of lips tickling the corners of my flesh the stalk is tall now i can hardly stand-- mystic superstitions of loss i think i might try prayer

they asked why i chose a carnation i smile.  there is no light in my eyes the light soaks the leaves  they rustle ever so often they like to rustle when mother says, “i am so Proud of you”

there is a carnation in my ankle i think i wanted an anemone but i ended with a bouquet of fungus

April 2020: Happy anniversary to this thread only!!!

#azula redemption #ngl i don't think the comics are canon #i find them incredibly inconsistent and derailed azula's character

[babie-azula]

funny store but when i was first introduced to MHA and Todoroki i legit called him dollar store zuko. 

i’m sorry for my ignorance ;-;

my third eye is wide open today 

#holy fuck

[babie-azula]

Katara: After this heist is over, we split up and never communicate again.

Zuko: (about to reveal his "Crime Buddies Forever" quilt) N-never?

#ngl read this as platonic but its cute af #zuko & katara crime buddies TM

[babie-azula]

Aang, surrounded by baffled councilmen, interrupted mid meeting: "ZUKO I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’D DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS!”

Zuko, half burnt after fistfighting his latest assasin: “It’s not that bad. Besides, you’re like twelve, you don't have to worry about this”

Aang: “only tw—I was the one who—! No, you know what? I’m calling your grandpa!”

The councilmen, thinking of Azulon: “?!”

Zuko: “WAIT NO AANG I’M SORRY!”

Aang, meditating aggressively: “TOO LATE.”

Roku, taking Aang’s place: “ZUKO I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’D DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS!”

The councilmen, losing their fucking minds: “?!?!?!????!??!???!”

#old man roku having to deal with zuko #zuko who has no sense of self preservation #roku does not know what he signed up for

[babie-azula]

I would just like to think at the end of it all, Zuko would get to have a loving family. That’s all he wanted and with a job as difficult and stressful and life threatening as fire lord after a century of war he seriously deserves it. Hes suffered so much. He deserves a supportive & loving spouse (that he ofc would reciprocate 110%) but after reading the comics I’m scared he never got that love support and deep friendship… :(

I’ve said before that I don’t really consider the comics and LoK canon for the ATLA story, but since your question is about it, let’s see what we know.

Zuko started out ATLA, chucked out of his home, shunned and hurt by his family, his uncle for his only ally (whom he was unable to appreciate at the time, still wanting desperately his father’s love and return to his home). Zuko’s arc, stronger than anyone’s is about found family; learning that home is where the people you love are, family is a palace (or a teashop) you build with acts of kindness and self-sacrifice, and he comes out of the war with a support structure that now he appreciates and understands for the blessing they are. 

I have to confess, I only read the comics up to S & S, but here is what I know:

Iroh initially stayed more in the teashop in Ba Sing Se, but after the Promise, he seemed more involved in Zuko’s life, and the way Iroh talks about him in LoK to Korra, it is clear that their closeness continued.

Aang continued to come to help out whenever needed and they remained best friends until Aang’s death. 

Suki and Ty Lee were among the Kyoshi Warriors who moved in the palace to support and protect Zuko. Sokka and Katara pop up to help at least to find his mum.

Zuko found his mum (I have my dislike of how her story went, but fact is Zuko was happy to have found her, was glad that she was happy). He also found out he has a half-sister who adores him unconditionally.

Zuko was shown to want to reconcile with Azula, and I really hope that at one point he did.  

Romantically, he was shown to be in an on-and-off relationship with Mai.

From LoK, we know that he has a daughter, Izumi, who he is incredibly close to, who turns out to be a good leader and who continues to build his legacy. He has a grandson, Iroh II, who also has a lot of love and respect for his grandfather.

He has an animal companion in Druk that feels a lot like Appa to Aang.

He knows all of the Gaang kids, suggesting that they kept in touch in a more personal way (Tenzin mentions Ember Island holidays). He knows very well Korra’s dad, implying he remained in good terms with the Water Tribe. 

As far as I know, the only thing we don’t know how Zuko’s marriage turned out to be and whether it was Mai he married. 

From all the above, it seems to me that whatever the case was (to me he gives off strong single-dad vibes, possibly meaning his wife may died early), he had a strong support structure of family and friends whom he loved and appreciated, and a very fulfilling life, rich with meaningful relationships. I think he would have done whatever he needed to make his marriage work (ok, I know it takes two to tango), learning to focus on what he had rather than what he didn’t. 

I love Zuko’s story so much, because it shows that it’s not romantic love that turns your life around, it is not a woman’s love that saves him. He saves himself because he learns to love the right way, he builds his patchwork family and his story is complete even without a sweeping romantic love story (I do find it appealing for him to have it, but not strictly necessary for his happiness).

Even in canon, even if things weren’t 100% perfect, I have the overwhelming feeling that Zuko was alright. 

#this makes me so happy #zuko deserves all the love #<3

Some people: technology advanced too fast between ATLA and LOK

Real life:

(This is a comparison of military technology fielded by the avatar universe and our world in a similar timeframe)

#this is the real inconsistency #i don't hate lok but the world building is not my cup of tea #i still do not understand the URN #is republic city1920s Washington dc #i have many questions and a poli sci fren that wants to fight
