A Comic About How Zuko Got His First Gray Hair
(alternatively A Comic in which Aang Yeets a Baby)
This was spawned out of witnessing a humorous exchange between @cablesscutie and @gemgirl28 in which they discussed some steambaby headcanons and how Zuko would probably be over-protective and cautious with the first baby at least. Then Cablesscutie said, “Aang has never had one fear and gets that first steambaby for the first time and Uncle Aang just yeets that child so high and that is the story of how Zuko got his first gray hair” and I was like…. MUST. DRAW. So yes, I did shoehorn my own first Zutara child in there, but really this idea works with any zk baby if you ask me haha I didn’t draw the instance of the gray hair (that has to grow in) but this is certainly the precipitating incident. Were it not for this quote, I myself would probably not use the phrase “yeet” as I am far too elderly, but it was so perfect in this context, so it stayed. The power of Aang: what are his flings into the air but yeets. u.uÂ
You know that point at which you notice a mistake in your drawings, but it’s far too late to change anything… yeah. ANYWAY. I haven’t read any of the Avatar comics, but I’ve seen bits and pieces of Imbalance, and I really like the style, so I took a stab at emulating it. Unfortunately I suck at reverse engineering coloring/painting styles (and get impatient and give up), so alas… is what it is. Comics are hard, coloring is harder… I can’t tell you how long it took me to sort out Katara’s colors… I ultimately decided she doesn’t need to wear red to be a leader of the Fire Nation… I love the Water Tribe aesthetic too much to let it go (I’m sure as Fire Lady, or whatever title she’d be, she’d bring light furs and blues very much into vogue in the Fire Nation).
So Thank you again to cablesscutie and gemgirl28 for their galaxy brain headcanons and for letting me draw it. Also thanks to @neincraff and @kashicanhaz for some help with some of the dialog n.n (Check out all their stuff if you’re looking for great Zutara fanfiction!)
Please do not repost, thanks!

the personification of death being portrayed as deeply kind in fiction is something that reduces me to tears every single time

Guileless son, I’ll shape your belief
And you’ll always know that your father’s a thief
And you won’t understand the cause of your grief
But you’ll always follow the voices beneath
