do i ship these characters or do i want them to form a sketch comedy duo

As with the horse poll, please regard these options as sliders. The extent to which each one deviates from 1/6th of the total will determine the amount that canine aspect deviates from the "average."

I will draw the dog we make. :)

character development!

huge wall of text incoming

okay!!! hello everyone who has decided to follow me :D im so glad ur here, i love reading ur comments & tags on ur reblogs and stuff <3

first two images are a comic of Zuko & Aang's first meeting. This takes place only a few moments after Aang is freed from the ice berg. After this meeting, Zhao docks at a small island & Aang makes his escape, freeing Zuko, who vanishes before the fight is even over.

Character designs! I still have to do Jet & the Freedom fighters, but since they don't show up for a long time, I didn't feel the need to right now. Ty-Lee, Iroh, Ozai, and Zhao.

Captain Yue (and her Pirate crew, nearby) find Aang's ice berg (crashing into it), but unfortunately, Zhao's ship was alerted of their position by the large beam of light it produced.

OKAY for everyone who said they loved small details, here's some small details!

when Aang turns 16, he and Gyatso are summoned to the Western Air temple, which is closest to the fire nation (and the northern water tribe). Aang overhears Gyatso talking to the elders here.

"We have brought you to this temple for a reason. There is war upon us. Firelord Sozin has kept his promise from four years ago. He is launching an attack on the Earth Kingdom tonight. The Avatar must kill him before this war progresses." Gyatso lements that he is not ready, nor should he go against his nature to kill someone. The monks decide that he is not the right teacher for Aang-- queue Aang running away & freezing himself.

The spirit world is gonna work a little differently. I know that when Zhao killed the moon spirit in the original show, the moon went dark & everything lost color. Those side effects don't happen.

Yue brings Appa back to Aang after he's captured by Zhao. Unfortunately, being captain of her own ship, she doesn't go with him.

Aang's favorite food is still Egg Custard Tart :)

Blue, for some reason (WE know why), knows Air Nomad sign language, which he and Aang use to communicate often. I came up with that, and then I read a fanfiction with an author who had the same idea !!! Username on ao3 is Southwest_trickster, I believe.

Aang and Blue reunite through a shared interest in stopping night time crime in a small village off the coast of North Azulon, and Aang gets a bit of a rock chucked at his head. Aang doesn't know that Blue's been trailing him for days.

Blue doesn't want to unmask to Aang for many reasons. The most obvious, at least to him, is that Aang will hate him for who he is. His lineage caused everything that's happened to the World, including the Air Nomad Genocide, and now Aang must fix it all. Another reason is the Fire Nation is sort of wanting him dead or alive.

p.s here's my ao3 account: (i'll post this au there eventually, but i have one other fic there rn, unrelated) https://archiveofourown.org/users/buncly13

I'll include more next time, until then, thank you for all the support!! <3 <3 it means the world to me

You know that scene in the extras where all the other peak lords have a meeting and are like “So is SQQ possessed or brain damaged? He was polite to me the other day!”

Do you think Shang Qinghua is keeping that in his pocket like a secret weapon? Like he knows that Shen Yuan is so confident in his acting skills and totally thinks he tricked everyone, and he’d probably be humiliated to know people clocked him from day one. Do you think he’s keeping that info behind glass incase of Peerless Cucumber getting too smug?

SQQ: *calls SQH a hack author one too many times*

SQH: *holds up a finger, pulls a bottle of truth serum out of his pocket and drinks it*

SQQ: Wha—

SQH: The rest of the peak lords all had meetings behind your back to talk about how different you were from the original goods. You didn’t notice people repeatedly checking you for possession. We all agreed to just humor you since we thought you had amnesia.

SQQ: You! Dumbfuck—

SQH: You’re not a good actor.

SQQ:

I think one of the keys to non-canon and rarepair relationships for me in fanfiction is that you have to respect the relationships that are already there. Not like in a "you have to do the canon relationships and then break them up first" way, because you can definitely make it so that the canon relationship in question never happened OR was never romantic or sexual if you want. But in a basic characterization issue kind of way.

For example, when I wrote a Shang Qinghua / Yue Qingyuan fic, I was looking at the ways to make that work given the Qijiu and Moshang situations. And I ended up making it so that Qijiu either never had or never fully developed any romantic or sexual feelings in this AU, but they're still inseparable as friends / brothers / platonic soulmates of a kind. You CAN'T write a Yue Qingyuan who doesn't care about Shen Jiu. It's just not on the table in terms of characterization.

(I mean, you could, I suppose, but then it's a case of, "Who the fuck even is this guy anymore? You undid his whole backstory and now he's a completely different person." I do think you can write interesting AU stories focused on character development in which Yue Qingyuan learns to move on after post-canon or in which perhaps Shen Jiu's treatment of Luo Binghe becomes an actual breaking point for their relationship, but even if things somehow get REAL BAD between him and Shen Jiu, I don't really think Yue Qingyuan will ever be able to stop caring completely.)

Likewise, I made it so that Moshang never fell into the master-servant situationship, and ended up as cooperative enemies / distant allies of sorts. But Shang Qinghua still thinks Mobei-Jun is sexy. That's his ideal guy! Airplane Bro still being a little weird about his favorite character is not really negotiable to me, even if he's in love with someone else. He has eyes! He can still look at other men disrespectfully! He just doesn't act on his attraction.

Like, you can totally just sidestep any romantic / sexual feelings never existed, in order to pursue your pairing of choice. But you cannot easily deny, in my opinion, the basic fact of a character caring on a basic level about someone important to them. I think it gives weird "you're only allowed to care about your romantic partner / no friends allowed" vibes to just completely cut off all other relationships. There's not a hard line between "love-triangle-fixing polyamory" and "completely isolated from even friendships because maintaining friendships with exes is cheating somehow monogamy" as options here.
