🔥Fire Lord Zuko Headcanons🔥

My semi-canon compliant headcanons of Zuko after the war with a side of Zukka

Zuko's first few months as firelord are a bit of a mess. He's desperately trying to put together some semblance of functional governance in place of the corruption left in his fathers wake, while simultaneously trying to negotiate peace treaties and settlement agreements with nations his predecessors attempted to destroy.

He's overworking himself, not sleeping enough, forgetting to eat and overall just not doing a great job taking care of himself, convinced if he doesn't take care of things instantly then he's not doing enough.

It all comes to a head once the assassination attempts start getting out of hand. At that point Zuko is simply not sleeping so Sokka, Mai, Tylee and Iroh stage an intervention (you cannot convince me Iroh would stay in Ba Sing Se once things start getting out of hand)

His security get upgraded, Toph gets brought in to vet the staff (she can tell when people are lying!! why wouldn't she get to kick people out of the palace?)

And finally things start to settle down

Once the peace talks and negotiations are done he starts transforming the Fire Nation itself

A lot of people have written about this but I am absolutely convinced that Zuko spends the first year trying to get the palace staff to trust him not to hurt them

By the second or third year they are willing to speak to him and have more than small talk

He goes about making a lot of changes in policy but first he disappears for 2 days only Sokka and his head guard knowing in advance

He goes incognito through dozens of towns and villages

He visits schools (putting his blue spirit skills to use)

He goes to orphanages and homeless shelters

He goes back to the Sun Warriors to tell them about the end of the war and seek advice on how to reshape the way firebending is taught to everyone (and maybe he ends up adopting a dragon egg in the process...)

When he returns to the palace he is ready to transform the nation

He makes it a crime to use corporeal punishment

He brings back old traditions and rule for Agni Kais where they can only be fought by adults against adults provided they both agree to the fight. The Agni Kai stops when a person surrenders or at first burn.

He wanted to completely end the practice of Agni Kais but tradition could not constantly be broken by his reign (according to his advisors) so the changes just make them less common or harmful until they go obsolete

He puts in place programs for veterans to get the treatment and support they need.

He creates a fostering program where children who have been left behind can find love with parents who have lost children or veterans who want to bring love and hope to the world

He works with Aang and Sokka and Master Piandao to create new curriculum for the schools which is historically accurate, brings back culture and joy and teaches students to think for themselves

He includes some of the wisdom from the sun warriors in the new curriculum so that firebending, and really all fighting forms can be taught with their duality in mind. Fire burns but it is also life. Martial Arts can be use to kill, but they are also an art form.

Making the curriculum stick is a longer process but with help from people on the inside, slowly but surely schools start to teach in a better. kinder way

Its around the time of Zuko's 20th birthday when advisors start to bother him about marrying.

It is while trying to avoid their matchmaking that he start realizing that he likes Sokka (he's an oblivious biromantic asexual, why would anyone expect it to take less time)

Not much changes when they get together, they still spar and go to the gardens to feed the turtleducks together, Sokka still makes silly faces behind ambassadors backs, Zuko still goes down to the kitchens to make them a pot of tea to have together witting in his room (the kitchen staff are used to this by now)

But they start sharing more intimacies, finding what feels comfortable for them in the form of hugs that last just a bit longer and chaste kisses on shoulders and cheeks and foreheads.

And when the egg from the sun warriors hatches and a tiny dragon comes tumbling out, they name him Druk and take care of him together

Zuko continues to go on trips incognito a few times a year and it is on one of these trips what he finds a young child alone on the side of the road. When he learns that she has know family he tries to taker her to the orphanage in the town near by. She runs away and there is nothing Zuko is willing to do to get her to go.

She has a grittiness and fighting spirit that reminds Zuko of his younger self, an independent streak and impulsiveness that border on dangerous. And even though Zuko has to leave her that day he can't stop thinking about her as he returns to the palace.

Sokka notices right away and they talk about her, and adoption, and the fact that Zuko needs an heir and end up figuring out that they want a child of their own to raise now that Druk is all grown up

When Zuko next returns to the town he brings Sokka, a legal witness and adoption papers with him.

He introduces her to Druk and when she pets him and falls in love they start to talk to her. She begins to trust them, telling them her name is Izumi and that she doesn't like the orphanage because it reminds her too much of her past.

They stay for a few days getting to know her and when they ask if she wants to live with them she does say yes.

Over time Zuko comes to find balance and love in the peace he created in the Fire Nation<3

Note: I cannot take credit for all of these ideas, some of them come from a bunch of fanfictions I've read over the years and especially Post-Canon Fire Lord Zuko (and his staff) by RejectsCanon

a cute detail in haruka's room

This turned into a half-ramble half-headcanon post so I apologize for how messy it is lol

While watching undercover for the first time I noticed that there seems to be a sketchbook in Haruka's room, in which a colorful tree is drawn

Haruka seems to be hyperempathetic, and usually hyperempathetic people are quite artistic in their worldview and their hobbies, so I have a headcanon that Haruka likes to draw and/or paint, as a hobby and coping mechanism, a little escapism (especially since Haruka's no.1 coping mechanism with traumatic/stressful events seems to be denial—I'm going to elaborate on that in a different post because I've thought about that very, VERY often, and it partially explains why he acted the way he did in T2, to me) (I'm projecting a little bit because I kin Haruka and I'm a (hobbyist) artist myself but teehee)

When he was asked about his hobbies in his T1 interrogation, he just said he liked to talk to the other prisoners, but I think that's because he's insecure about his art being bad or unconventional (it looks like he used crayons or simple markers for the tree drawing. And also, the leaves are all different colors... perhaps I'm overanalyzing a simple scene, but it seemed to me that it's kinda symbolizing how he views & interacts with the world differently because of his neurodivergence. Still, the drawing is quite pretty imo, and he used the colors very well, so even though it's a tree with unusual colors, it still looks beautiful; even though he's different, it doesn't mean he's inferior, and there's still beauty despite how much he struggles to fit in. You know?)

Also also the way a lot of frames in weakness have hyper-realistic, vibrant backgrounds, as well as the blood being colorful (though that appears elsewhere too, like in Muu's MV) it really convinced me that Haruka sees the world through the lens of an artist, a passionate person who feels things very intensely.

Since the prisoners can request anything, I like to think Haruka secretly requested a sketchbook and some crayons to continue his hobby (I'm not sure if he can do that since it's unclear how the prisoners request & receive stuff (I'm a relatively new Milgram fan so I might've forgotten/not have seen an explanation if there's any ueueu))

I like to think he keeps his sketchbook to himself at first, but slowly opens up to the other prisoners about his hobby. First Fuuta and Mu, then maybe Mikoto, then the others (and they're all very nice to him & praise his art!!! Especially Mikoto I think. he would be very excited to see all of Haruka's art!!! Supportive big brother figure) :3c

#if its not actually a sketchbook forgive me im blind as shit #if these aren't crayons too pls forgiev me #i hope this makes sense i wouldve probably talked more if i didnt have a godawful migraine rn #i love haruka i definitely think he likes to/wants to practise some form of art #should i tag this im a bit embarrassed eheh #milgram #haruka sakurai #sakurai haruka #headcanons #milgram headcanons #jay rambles bleh idk #okay maybe theres more than just a little bit of projection but shh it makes sense doesn't it #I LOVE HARU #he s literally me #if anyone has pointed this out before pls forgive me again #and show me the post pls id love to find. likeminded people #good night #milgram project

I'm too tired to draw Klinger properly right now, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and draw all week, however, now that I have the chance, I have no motivation, yet I know that if I don't draw right now another week will pass, so here is a poorly drawn Klinger depicting only a fraction of my exhaustion.

The reference for this drawing comes from this post by @klingerfashionarchive

#mash #m*a*s*h #mash 4077 #maxwell klinger #my art #traditional art #I've been so busy all week and I've had so many things I've wanted to draw but most are above my abilities #I also don't have the time to practice or commit to larger projects like the mini comics I've wanted to make #As per usual: my complaints with the drawing: #I don't really like what's going on with his left eye but I tried to fix it a couple times and it didn't get better #I wanted so badly to draw his lower arms despite my not liking to draw arms or hands but it was one of the reasons I chose the picture #However I started with his head and ran out of room. I tried at first to fit his arms in anyway but they looked too short so I left it as i #Besides those two things I think it's okay. Definitely not amazing but also not my worst drawing #I'm still on here a couple times a day despite being busy if anyone wants to chat (although I can't promise I'll respond in a timely manner

Question for pure vanilla cookie, would you kiss or hug white lily cookie >_<

“She.. always thought kissing sounded gross. Not to mention I’m… not entirely sure where our relationship stands while she’s… Dark Enchantress.”

Okay I normally don’t do text posts but I need to say these things before I explode bc I have random thoughts that won’t leave me alone

Anyway! Random The Amazing Digital Circus headcanons I will die on a hill for… until the show (probably) proves me otherwise. In no particular order!

• Jax is Asexual and Aro Spec

• Zooble is Agender

• Gangle has a lot of stuffed animals and/or pillows in her room

• I don’t remember where I saw this but I saw someone else headcanons that Ragatha sows and now I’m obsessed with it

• Gangle has a touch of the ‘tism, and fiddling with her “hand” ribbons is her main form of stimming

• Caine wants to participate in the activities he makes but because of the fact it’s mostly stimulation for the humans (and also bc he already knows what’s happening), he doesn’t feel like he can participate

• Before Zooble got trapped in the Circus, they had some prosthetics

• Jax is a kleptomaniac, hence the keys bit from the first episode

• Kinger and Queenie entered the circus at the same time, hence the matching avatars

• Bubble actually finds the moon’s antics with Caine funny

• Pomni is a cat person + magnet

• Gangle has social anxiety

#the amazing digital circus headcanons #tadc headcanon #don’t kill me pls #I’m definitely not projecting onto my favorite character #and Jax a tad #nooooo neverrrrr /s

[hgduo]

why do Quackity's characters always have so much aromantic spectrum swag in every mcrp

#still thinking about what he said after marrying Wilbur('s picture) yesterday #it's the 'I launched myself into this relationship thinking it'd fix everything in my life but I don't feel any different' of it all #and the 'this person was kind/was there once I will now latch onto them because this feeling must be love right... right?' #those ones fit more with c! and q! then k! but k!Q also just gives me a lot of aro vibes #<- I am DEFINITELY not just projecting because I am arospec-

I call bs, that man is a hack and never managed to create anything successfully in his life.

I'll never believe this marvel of technology came from that guy (and if he does, I don't trust him).

Hello!

I’m returning to Italy for the rest of the summer, and because my laptop is very very unreliable, I honestly can’t guarantee I’ll post any (digital) art while I’m there. I really do want to draw the Hetalia sillies, though, so I’ll try my best ;u;

I’ll ofc pop in and out to make a few text posts if I’m not feeling too shy, and my ask box is always open, too! 

See ya around <3

#temmie talks #sorry yall I was really hoping to be more active during the summer #I will be taking my sketchbook(s) with me so maybe you'll see some traditional art from me #at least #who knows #I feel like my art has been lacking recently so I'll definitely take this time to practice and experiment #and also work on some projects I've been neglecting :3c

[blujayonthewing]

trying to decide whether melliwyk is a strict mise en place cooker or more of a controlled(?) chaos sort of person in the kitchen

#like the thing is her workstation(s) ARE always set up so everything is easy to grab immediately #and I definitely imagine her setting up all components for experiments or projects or ritual spells in advance #but she doesn't cook very often and I don't know that she takes it very seriously? #LIKE. one thing about melliwyk is that she's a (probably very surprisingly) good cook #but she does kind of feel like a 'oh I can chop these vegetables while the meat is starting to sear' person #who maybe times it badly more often than not because she's almost always out of practice in the kitchen #(why cook for yourself when you have the unseen servant spell! that's what it's FOR) #also the idea of her neatly pouring pre-chopped pre-portioned ingredients in a timely manner from organized prep bowls #feels less correct than mage hand grabbing ingredients from the pantry WHILE slicing onions AND stirring a sauce or whatever #my OCs #melliwyk

[dreamland-creations]

Ofcourse I can!!!

Oh and BTW second anon, which art do you mean exactly? I asked the culteeman about if I have ever drawn Riles going insane before but they said that this wasn't the case??? You probably meant some other artist or something. Anyway!

Traumatizing our comfort characters is the best love language we have to offer<3333(oh god I sound like my parents...)

TW: blood, self destruction, self harm, slight gore

I actually have this headcanon that Riley is the one who teared her jaw off. Due to the stress she just wanted something to distract her. Something she could let all her anger and frustration out. Unfortunately the only thing that would be able to let her own self hatred and anger out was herself.

#Idk if y'all noticed but that is actually how I colored Riles the first time I posted any kind of HP Fanart!!! #tw self destruction #tw body horror #TW blood #Sorry that the blood looks so messy traditional art is hard and I only had only one try after all!! #Definitely not self projecting.... No no no.... I would never #hello puppets #hello puppets midnightshow #riley ruckus #fanart #ask response #And don't ask what I wa s thinking when Iade the eyes- #i dont know what they are

Planning to have it done this week (hopefully)!

#also this project will definitely last past the 30th anniversary #I'm determined to finish it!! it'll just take a lot longer than I originally planned #by now I was supposed to have something for Kirby 64 finished if I stuck to my schedule #o o p s #Eryth's Kirby 30th Celebration
