I've recently been thinking about how Zuko went on a field trip with 3/4 gaang members; do you think we were all robbed of a Toph and Zuko field trip? How do you think it would've gone?

no i don’t think we were “robbed” of a toph and zuko field trip, and the show even lampshades this fact in “sozin’s comet.” while toph and zuko do have a lot in common wrt their respective abusive upbringings, struggles with disability and gender identity/inhabitation, and accepting help from others/their own vulnerability as a product of that parental/systemic abuse, the fact of the matter is that zuko does not owe toph reparations, whether material or emotional. the most harm zuko ever causes toph is purely by accident, which is a fact they both immediately acknowledge. when zuko bonds with aang over their respective issues with firebending stemming from its use as a weapon/tool of imperialist conquest, with sokka over their respective daddy issues, or with katara over their respective mommy issues (if you’ll allow me to be reductive in both cases, considering i’ve already discussed both of these relationships at length in the past), zuko is specifically addressing what is not only a point of commonality that connects these characters, but a matter that zuko must directly make amends for (he was the first person to showcase to aang the destructive power of firebending, he burned down suki’s village and forsook his own father figure in ba sing se, he exploited katara’s grief regarding her mother on multiple occasions). while it would certainly be nice to see toph and zuko bond more and connect over their shared traumas, there is no thematic impetus demanding a plot-relevant episode dedicated to their escapades. i do actually have many ideas regarding toph and zuko’s developing friendship, but it is a pet peeve of mine that people act like seeing our favorite characters be put in adorable situations is in fact necessary to a narrative even if it is thematically irrelevant. i also think that a lot of people clamor for a toph & zuko friendship when similar dynamics with far more basis in canon, such as katara & zuko, aang & zuko, or toph & sokka, which are all richly textured relationships that bear deep thematic significance within the text, are overlooked. toph & zuko do admittedly have an interesting dynamic, but there arrives a certain point where it’s just like. what do you want me to say about this relationship that is not said better by other, deeper relationships within the text.

#catastrophe908 #asks #toph&zuko #toph #zuko #hot takes #I see a lot of ppl talk abt zuko being tophs ‘big brother’ when it’s like. sokka’s right there #being toph’s favorite person in the world. carrying her physically & emotionally #or toph being zuko’s ‘little sister’ and it’s like aang is right there. katara is right there even #serving richly textured narrative cohesion on a silver platter #im not saying toph & zuko friendship is BAD #but a lot of what people WANT out of a toph & zuko friendship they already HAVE #but with characters they like less bc their trauma isn’t as compelling to the western bourgeoisie lmao #that said gay disabled solidarity does mean a lot to me personally. but that’s a different thing lol

📚 Cg! Clay HCS!!! 💚🎶

Aggagaggaggag first hc list I do EVERRR (so please be kind (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) /💗💗)

Cg! Clay x Agere! Reader!!

pretty much gender neutral!!

Cw: caps lock (just me having happy outbursts), um lotsa author notes and commentary I just wanna talk about him and about how he would be as a cg :ccc, also this is incredibly self indulgent

Also there was no proof reading ☠️

(Crossposted on ao3 @Soft_Buzz!! oh and I’ll update this if I get a new hc idea)

Anyways here you go 💚:

•nicknames for you: kiddo, baby, bubba, bubba wubba (he’s squeezing your cheeks and baby talking you 😭😭), prince/princess/ lil highness/royal, and a number of other sweet nicknames or any that you prefer!

•he would be suuuuuch a sweet and doting caregiver waaaaaaah but he would definitely ensue rules for you! Calm and Strict(ish) cg! Clay would pull up to make sure you are safe and healthy even if you are feeling big!!

•he’d hate to see you hurt or sick, but he’d do everything thing in his power to nurse you back to health :]!

•Clay would definitely provide his kiddo with healthy snack or with fruit or veggie cups!

•Although Clay’s sorta strict he can be soooo soft he always want to hold you, whether it’s your hand/pinkie or cuddle up with you.

•You are his battery and he wants to recharge.

* HE WOULD SOOOO READ TO YOUUUU AHHH he loooooves reading so ofc he’d love to share that interest with his little one

• (please it’s the cutest thing ever)

• imagine him beside you with a book open (he has his reading glasses on :3) and as he reads, he gives all the different characters different voices and will always put emotion into his reading voice, which always leads to you giggling or you gasping in surprise.

• One time you insisted that you were big enough for his sad book club and that you wouldn’t become a big puddle of tears so he gave you Charlotte’s Web to read.

• You were a mess. You didn’t stop being sad for the next couple of HOURS (yes this is a reference to that JD fan art ifykyk☠️)

• Clay had to give you so many hugs, cuddles, and kisses to make up for it. He thought it’d be funny, but he sorta forgot how emotional of a little one you can be.

• “I’m so so sorry baby.” *kiss* “How can I make it up to you?? I’ll do anything”

• oh you’d grin a that. You choose to either do dress up WITH make up or draw on his face and mess around with his hair. AND ice cream.

• You took soooo many pictures (and you may or may have not shared them with Viva, Poppy, and his brothers) Clay says he hates you for it, but secretly believes it was so worth it to see that sparkle in your eyes

• he bought you a piggy and a spider (with little bb spiders) stuffie. Even if you have arachnophobia, you hugged those stuffies while crying happy tears. You gave him a tight hug which he softly returned and gave you a forehead kiss.

• (This whole event was also the birth of your happy scrapbook club!! (even though it just you :} ) )

• You and Clay will just sit together while reading different things. Him with some well recognized and praised novel or book and you with a happy lil scrapbook in your hands!

• I’d also like to think he has a puppet character like Bandit does with unicorse! (Maybe a dragon but that just me :])

• (Clay and Branch be matching with their ventriloquism skills lol)

• If you seem to be clumsy or fall often he starts to develop a sort of spider sense for it and will catch you before disaster happens

• OKOK I know this is gonna sound random buuuut I believe Clay is the type to carry lollipops, and sometimes other candy, around. Idk like I can just picture him a with a lollipop in his mouth trying to look all serious/mysterious and nonchalant LOL

• ANYWAYS back to the Agere stuff

• I think that after completing a task or being good, Clay would def give his kiddo a lollipop as a treat!! that orrrrr if his kiddo seems to be regressing in public and they really want/need a paci or just something to fixate on then boom!!! Lollipop! :D

• Talking about rewards

• This man would sooooo spoil you!! you’re his treasure and he wants you to know it!!

• He’ll either get you food you’ve been craving or a stuffed animal/little gear orrrr both!!

• (Because of the two of you, you now have a chest fuuuull of stuffies Woops💧)

• You always try to show your appreciation by giving him small handmade gifts!! A lil pop up card, bead bracelets (you definitely have matching bracelets), even something crocheted/knitted, and pretty much any arts n crafts you can make!

• Now onto funny business ( •̀ - • )!

• so ofc when it first came to having fun and being playful with you he was bit scared

• can you blame him???

• He’d spent A LOT of time trying to get rid/away from the tittle of being the fun boy

• Ofc through lot of reassurance you let him know that he can have fun and play with you and still be a very serious caregiver!

• you help him understand that being funny and silly every once in a while doesn’t hurt and that he should try to find a balance that work for him! Which he eventually does :D!!

• I like to believe that he’d be great at playing pretend and hide and seek!

• “Worry not your highness!! You will protect you from the dragon!” (It’s one of your plushies)

• “Wherever could my kiddo be?? They must have turned invisible!!” (he can hear your giggles which just makes his smile wider)

• Although he really tries to be there for you, he’s a reaaaally busy man :((( but he still tries to spend time with you through parallel play! While he’s doing his grown up paperwork, you get to colooor!! (or draw or scrapbook or anything really) as long you promise to be good and not distract him

• (plus the sooner he’s done the sooner he can give you all his attention! so it’s a win-win situation :D)

• Actually if you were feeling extra lil you’d just get a paper and scribble on it with crayon trying to copy Clay’s mannerisms (when he sees this he’s physically holding himself back from just picking you up, cradling you, and just babying you waaaah you’re gonna be the end of him)

• oh and he would sooo keep your little artworks in his working area (they bring a sweet smile to his face and warm his soul you’re the best kiddo he could have ever asked for)

• You also get to have cuddles while he works! Sometimes he’ll just sit you on his lap with a stuffie or two while he wraps an arm around you and litters your head or face with kisses!

• Now onto not so funny business ૮๑ˊᯅˋ๑ა

• sometimes Clay’ll have a rough or tiring day :((

* and that’s okk caregivers have their moments too!

• He’ll usually want to cuddle with you and hold you close. (You are his stuffie :D)

• He might even tickle you or blow raspberries on your tummy (if you give him permission ofc!!) which often leaves you with a giggling and squirming fit.

• He just loves seeing you laugh and smile (especially if it’s him who made you happy :] you just brighten his day so much sometimes)

• One time he was just so tired and just laying down on the couch and then you brought one stuffie to him and then two till you pretty much had him buried under almost all of your stuffies!!

* You then proceeded to lay on top of him, and Clay just sticks both arms out from under the pile while smiling softly with his eyes closed.

• Let’s just say you guys woke up with stuffed animals scattered eeeeeverywhere

• If you’re a kiddo/baby who tends to get overwhelmed easily, he’ll get you some noise canceling/dampening headphones and just wraps you in a soft blanket like a little burrito.

• He’ll also either get you an eye mask or will lower the lights if he can. (And if you’re feeling lil enough then a paci too!!)

• After doing any of this, he’ll just bring you onto his lap and whisper sweet lil nothings to you till you feel better or seem to fall asleep :D!

• would enforce a bed time >:( (he is a very very veeeery serious guy after all)

• but luckily bedtime means a bottle or sippy of sweet sleepy tea and a storyyyy :D!!

• Forehead kisses!! (CALL ME BIASED CAUSE I LOOOOOVE FOREHEAD KISSES but I stand by what I say.

• Oh and if he’s ever gonna to be very busy for the day and he won’t be able to take care of his kiddo, he’d ask Viva to help him take care of you!!

• Plus who doesn’t love babysitter Viva??? She’s so energetic and fun with you, but she’ll definitely tone it down for you 💛

• she’s also super strong so she’ll definitely carry you or give you a piggy back ride if you ask :>!

• She also give you lots of candies and sugary foods but shhhhh don’t tell Clay itsa secret (but I think the sugar rush/crash you have when he picks you up from Viva’s tells him more than enough

• (I feel like he would trust all his brothers with you (especially Bruce) except JD 😭😭)

• He would sooooo grab your cheeks and squeeze them like he did to Branch when first seeing him again

• Expect him to do that whenever he just wants to dote on you and baby you even if you’re feeling bigger than usual he just loves youuuu! 💚💚💚

In summary: I need this man bc he is the bestest boyfriend and caregiver ever!!

i know the whole drama of it has been milked out of the situation already but the gaang not knowing fucking Anything about zuko is so fascinating and funny to think about really like he seriously was just some guy to them. who hated them for a reason they didn't quite understand other than he was a cartoon villain. and threw firecrackers at their feet like a neighbourhood bully. i also think from this there's the potential funniest and maybe saddest misunderstanding ever based on just how little they know about him at all + with some combination of misheard/unheard lines and some handwaving on the gaang's tendency to take things at face value and if all else fails a proclivity to assume anything strange was Weird Royal Stuff or undercover identities which could lead to a conversation something like ↓

"my father is evil and i want to help you stop him" "what" "what" "what do you mean your father is evil i thought he was, like... comparatively nice" "WHAT" "SORRY wow i guess we didn't realise i mean i DID have some misgivings at first and all but he was at least seemingly nice to us when we met him and–" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU MET HIM" "well toph met him in the woods that one time which i still am not totally clear on–" "WHAT" "but i mean he's always just like kind've around isn't he right" "NO" "you can't just say NO he's literally always following you around. we thought it was kind of sweet actually and he SEEMED concerned for you" "sokka you KNOW i don't understand metaphors" "wh– I'M SPEAKING CLEARLY. he was PHYSICALLY FOLLOWING YOU AROUND" "I WOULD KNOW IF THAT WAS HAPPENING. and you would all be DEAD" "okay well that's kind of insulting no offense to your dad but i feel like i could probably kick him over and his bones would just shatter" "WHY" "BECAUSE HE'S OLD" "HE'S 42" "FORTY– well. he does not keep it tight i guess in that case" "you're literally sick" ("sokka stop being mean to zuko he's probably already upset that we have to fight his father now") "what do you mean NOW. you've had to fight him this WHOLE TIME" "what" "my father is the FIRELORD" "WHAT" "WHAT" "NO. YOUR DAD IS THAT OLD GUY WITH THE BEARD" and then zuko would start like genuinely ugly crying and they wouldn't know what to do

#🐾#like they just think iroh is some random prince and zuko is his son which means well he can also be a prince #tbey find out iroh is actually the firelords brother and that's a whole other round of shouting #i'm imagining like how the european royal families have like 272927292 cousins they just think he's 75th in line for the throne not #what... first -> banished -> first again -> literal firelord #☆#this would be a world where zuko just doesn't constantly say Uncle which is a charming trait to me but would obviously be confusing #but maybe they'd think hr was some strange bastard son or something like when ur paternal uncle turns out to be ur dad

GOD NOW YOUVE GOT BE THINKING ABOUT THE KID SILLIES (asl + sanji)

ace and sabo constantly trying to one up each other in winning sanjis affection ("no he likes ME more-" / "NUH UH, I GOT HIM FLOWERS")

sanji getting injured and the three brothers SCRAMBLING to help ("im fine, you three-" / "GET MISS MAKINO-" / "sanji let me carry you down-" / "IS HE GONNA BE OKAY :'[" / "guys it just hurts a bit-" / "IT HURTS???")

maybe sabo tucking sanjis bangs back while hes talking about the all blue? sanji pausing (freezing) and sabo panics but sticks with it, tells sanji to keep talking (sabo almost tells him hes found the all blue, right there in sanjis eyes)

(maybe he does it again when they reunite, many, many years later, but no less gently. no less tender.)

You almost made me have a heart attack with those last lines,,, God,,, Sabosan save me. Sabosan. Save me Sabosan.

The kids won't stop fighting for Sanji's attention. Luffy because he likes the food and he has decided he's going to be his cook (and he's stubborn so he won't give up). And Ace and Sabo because... Well... Pretty boy who knows how to cook and he's also the sweetest. They're going FERAL fighting over him and they're still young and stupid, so it's even funnier.

Because they will argue for dumb things like who gets to sleep closer to him at night or who should save him first if he's ever in danger. The only times they don't argue is when Sanji actively gets hurt and they work together to take care of him, but it doesn't even last long because they start fighting about who's the one carrying Sanji to Makino and in the end, it always ends up being Luffy.

Anyway-- SABOSAN MOMENT I CAN'T WAIT I AM SORRY:

Please. I am sobbing. Sanji is so insecure when it comes to his eyebrows and when Sabo tucks his bangs back while he's speaking, he suddenly stops. He's terrified Sabo will laugh at him. It's the first time he has a friend and the first time he has ever felt something like this for somebody (because wow, turns out his friendship with Sabo isn't the same as his friendship with Ace and Luffy!! Why would that be happening??!! /s). So he panics. His heart stops. He freezes. But Sabo tells him to keep going and smiles so, so sweetly at him that Sanji keeps speaking. And Sabo doesn't seem disgusted or,,, Or weirded out. He looks at Sanji so fondly the cook thinks he's going to have a heart attack at such a young age.

When they find each other again after so many years, Sabo does the same. Still softly and gently, something Sabo's worst enemies would never expect from him. And this time he is the one asking Sanji to please explain to him what the All Blue is all over again. He tucks his bangs back and says "I've always loved your eyebrows" / "Pfft. You have worse taste than I thought" / "They're beautiful, you're... You're beautiful" / "I don't- I'm not-" / "Tell me about the All Blue" / "Again?" / "Indulge me?" / "... Idiot" / "I like it, c'mon! You are cute when you smile. You should do it more and you only seem to do so when you talk about the All Blue" / "So... You're only asking to see me smile?" / "Among other things".

And Sanji talks and talks and he forgets exactly why he started talking but he gets lost in his own words about his dream, while Sabo smiles back at him. Thinking about Sabo kissing Sanji's eyebrow suddenly and impulsively and making him blush and stutter while he speaks...

#sabosan save me sabosan save me sabosan #they mean the world to me i swear #asl + sanji is the cutest thing ever #also please luffy seeing them together and going 'i thought you'd never do it!!!! finally!!!!!!!' and both sabo and sanji like 'YOU KNEW???#and turns out makino and tiny luffy had little gossip sessions ofc and she kind of told him and he has been waiting for ages for these two #one piece #black leg sanji #revolutionary sabo #monkey d. luffy #portgas d. ace #asl brothers #sabosan
