You know, of all the young characters in Avatar I feel like Sokka and Azula would be the most competitive Pai Sho players, since they’re both so tactical. Like they would probably develop an intense rivalry with each other and keep track of the exact record of wins and losses with each other. Every time one of them visits the other (whether for business or pleasure) they have to play at least one game of Pai Sho (which ends up turning into like 5 games of Pai Sho).

Of course neither of them were ever able to beat Uncle Iroh, who taught them how to play. Except one time when he allowed them to work together against him 2 on 1. After butting heads for a couple games and losing badly they managed to put their egos aside and work together and managed to outfox The Dragon of the West.

So I have a lot of thoughts about Wu and team Avatar. The show kind of sets him up to have poor relationships with each of them, but they have to work together (Ruins of Empire), and he and Mako are so clearly in love. And I just think about the development of Wu’s relationships with team avatar like all the time. I think Opal would warm up to him first, then Korra, then Asami, and then Bolin.

But I was thinking about how Asami and Wu would bond, because that seemed the least obvious to me, and I now have this headcanon that it’s over a game of Pai Sho.

So in S3 E9 “The Stakeout,” Asami and Bolin play Pai Sho, and they have different philosophies behind the game. For Bolin, it’s a fast-paced, game of chance. For Asami, it’s the slow, methodical game that Iroh played in ATLA. And this seems to be showing the differences between Mako/Bolin and Asami. Because of their differences in class, they grew up in very different Republic Cities and have very different cultural backgrounds and experiences. And Bolin and Asami play a lot of games, and Bolin only “wins” once (Pabu knocks over the board).

And I just love the idea of Asami and Wu being in a situation where they can play Pai Sho. Because Wu would know how to play the slow, methodical, and aristocratic way. And he’s smart and analytical and able to look at situations big picture (in Ruins of Empire he’s really the only one considering the broader political implications besides Zhu Li). So I just love the idea of Asami being forced to reconsider her judgements about Wu, the silly, irresponsible, spoiled prince, during a five (or some other unreasonable number of) hour game of Pai Sho in which she ultimately falls into his trap and loses. And they aren’t besties by the end, but Asami finally has true respect for Wu beyond “well he’s the least evil leader for the Earth Kingdom.”

And then once that initial ice is broken and mutual respect is forged, Asami comes to appreciate having someone in her life who understands the world that she comes from. Someone who comes from a similar cultural background and experiences. And then she and Wu ultimately forge a true friendship over their shared experiences of wealth and growing up in that environment and being overlooked by others.

the epilogue of once in a blue moon has been posted. In this very final chapter: we say our farewells to the world of White Lotus Gambit and its characters. <3

thank you for reading, it was a pleasure to have you along for this lengthy journey of 2,5 years. Still, there's no reason to despair, because Azula's Kitchen Nightmares will continue, and more stories await their turn to be told in the future!

I made a pai sho board and I'm ridiculously happy with how it came out. Look at it!

Isn't it perfect?

It can be rolled up with the tiles for ease of transportation.

The design for the tiles and the finer details of the board are from here. If you want to take a look.

I'm really sitting here trying to learn Pai Sho to accurately run a character in an Avatar TTRPG game

There is a website where you can play Pai Sho, the game from Avatar the Last Airbender (it teaches you how to play, don't worry)!

Available on FF.net here.

Summary: AU. Yun doesn't kill anyone in the mining town. Fate rewards this restraint with a found family of Air Nomads. in this chapter, Norbu tries to cheer up/interrogate "Trishna" over a game of Pai Sho.

My first submission for @atlaocweek. I'm not sure if it's "allowed," integrating them into an ongoing fic with a non-OC protagonist, but I needed stuff to move the plot along and these prompts fit the story's themes. Of course, it's still mostly about Yun, but I'm trying to give the OCs more focus for these chapters. Hopefully it'll work out.

Honestly when I first saw the Oshitoame collab art I couldn't help thinking the rollercoaster looked a bit emptier than it should. They've been leaving poor Sho out of official art for a bit so i drew up a comic to compensate

Reigen said it's weird #Serizawa still really wanted to try though so they agree to go after the coaster #Sho did NOT pay for his way in he teleported and Security almost catch him #Serizawa bought Sho his swag. He felt especially bad bc he Had planned to ask Sho but forgot after studying for class #Ritsu has no excuse though #I spent literally all day on this wow #soymikki art #soymikki fanart #comic #soymikki comic #ritshou

yet another wip game ✨

rules: share a few lines or a snippet that sums up the main relationship(s) in your wip

tagged by @chiptrillino, i don’t have many wips going on atm and they’re moving at a glacial pace but here are some snippets!! tagging @petricorah, @kyoshialone and @marriedzukka if you want to partecipate!

(this last one courtesy of @ofherlionheart, go stream like the sun inside of you immediately!! and lion if you see this i swear i am going to leave you a comment soon but in the meantime accept this humble offering and propaganda. also tagging you in the game if u feel like it 😌)

#id in alt text #I feel like im drawing sooo much less so take these crumbs ig #now lets see how many I actually finish gdkgdj #anyway for a bit of context on the first two!! realized I never drew zukki properly despite being an enjoyer so I had to fix that #(they're putting on lipstick on zuko by kissing him. patented technique im sure it won't end up looking like a mess) #and 2 is strip pai sho. nothing else to add #zukka #zukki #my art

Tentative writing plans:

Finish Little Zuko (it's so close guys, I have two chapters I haven't posted yet and 2-3 more to write and then that's all she wrote, literally)

Start poking at Cheating At Pai Sho; get at least to the "Season One Toph" part because Season One Toph is a MENACE the likes of which you cannot fully imagine. You think you can but unless you're imagining The Gaang's raw terror of her (and Zuko's complete obliviousness to said terror) then you cannot.

Blind Zuko story outline is currently with my sensitivity reader, and posting shall begin once applicable edits are made

Priority will of course be with book three of Fox's Tongue, aka The One That Pays My Grocery Bills, but that is where we're at for broad plans just now

#avatar the last airbender #atla #Towards the Sun was considered for this list but then I got several poking comments on it on AO3 and over here and that #is the best way to get an author NOT writing #which is just as well since Cheating at Pai Sho would be infinitely quicker to actually finish #and I would dearly like to finish a few more things #Authors/Finishing Things: the rarest pair of them all

chapter 38 of once in a blue moon has been posted. In this chapter: Azula addresses the threat being posed by Zhao, while Yue tries to uphold her part of the bargain in the final two rounds of the tournament.
