Zuko doodle! On that ATLA bandwagon with the new Netflix show out now so I felt nostalgic and drew everyone’s fire nation boyfriend 😆 I actually think the Netflix show is pretty decent! I think the cast is doing a very good job with the characters so far and I saw a 2nd and 3rd season is confirmed so I’m looking forward to seeing more.

some sketches inspired by this post by @sulkybender that turned into a sort of comic? i just have a very clear vision of how this would go down 😭
handwriting translation under cut
from right to left
image 1:
aang: i guess there IS such a thing as too much meditation
iroh: you are looking Very Handsome, sparkle sparkle, today young avatar
aang: i was about to say the same for you, uncle
katara: NO.
aang: but Katara...
katara: No Ozai Beard.
image 2:
aang: this is it. This is my new look.
katara: oh wow. it looks. um. greeaaaaaat aang.
katara: aang...are you super duper sure that this is the one you want? like, absolutely, no doubt, completely positive?
aang: actually, ive been wanting this style for a while now, to remember Gyatso. he was there for me when no one else was and taught me to be who i am. i know it's silly but, i was to give to the world was Gyatso gave to me, so that I never forget him
image 3:
katara: i wish i could have met him
aang: i wish you could have, too.

I wanted to go a bit more in-depth with this piece that I did for zukka week 2023 because i got inspired to do more insane clothing details. ID in ALT.
Ramble about the influences/inspirations below:
Design inspirations for Sokka's clothing are mainly Inuvialuit and Yup'ik, with Nenets, Tlingit, and Chukchi inspiration for the tassels, patterns, belt and beadwork. I mixed these with the ornaments canon shows us used by the Northern Water Tribe, and also in Legend of Korra. I got particularly excited about drawing from Inuvialuit sources since the tassels we see in canon look like they could be inspired by this. Going beyond canon's animation-friendly colour scheme, I drew from Nenets patterns/embroidery/sashes and Yup'ik beadwork for accent colours. I think in the future I'd like to find ways to incorporate more Tlingit-style patterns since I rarely see them in fanart (which is a shame - they're stunning), but since they tend to be very big I ultimately decided to only include them as a nod in order to keep the regalia recognisable as 'Water Tribe'. I wonder if I could start using Polynesian influences as well?
Zuko's headdress and particularly the shoulder garment and beaded embroidery draw heavily from women's clothing styles of Lê Dynasty Vietnam. The other main influence is men's royal clothing in Tang Dynasty China, and patterns worn by Mongolian Khatun. Since we have a bit more to go on in canon as to what fire nation regalia looks like, I blended that in as well. I got particularly excited about the embellishments on Lê Dynasty clothes because I could give a little nod to Zuko's dragon-fire by adding more colours to the embroidery. In the future I think I'd want to make the Mongolian influence a bit more obvious... perhaps even push the envelope by incorporating some Bashkir designs, though I'm not sure how well that will go.
#yo the fandom is coming THROUGH with the fashion#i want yall hired for the show#my god so so good#beautiful

Finally finished natla. And like, my point still stands: I'll be really surprised if we get a second or 3rd season. In fact, I'll put money down on thr MOST well get is a crummy next season that is the combination of 2 and 3 because everyone knows the show is already dead in the water.
They clearly didn't know what to do with thr main characters: Katara is dry, Aang might as not be here, Sokka got any and everyone's good character beats, didn't allow for any relationship building because heaven forbid that add to the ship wars, can't have any anger or sexism or letting our characters be wrong for growth like??
Honestly, someone on YouTube said the show as it is can't be adapted and I agree. They also said just give us new stories then, and suggested a prequel all about Iroh and Honestly, love that idea. Or about the war! Or maybe Roku or Kyoshi.
I say, if you were gonna mess up the source material this much, why stop, just keep going until its interesting. Like, you already stripped Aang of character, just get rid of the character. Make it they find him in the ice, he's out cold, they're super excited that maybe he's the Avatar because he was frozen in the south tribes version of spirit water so maybe still breathing. Katara and Zuko fight over him, but at the end of the episode, he actually dies. We're all shocked. Turns out, he was just a kid escaping the genocide, and the real avatar got away for a bit then killed (gives us a mystery to solve) and Sokka is the Avatar this whole time, because CLEARLY the writer/director is most infatuated with Sokka. Now he had to grapple with being a bender at all, and being someone he doesn't believe in, katara convinces him to leave to get masters together, you can even have your zutara netflix is baiting us with and have it make sense instead of that pitiful, weird scarf smelling moment (I'd be insulted if I were a zutara fan, truly. Crumbs, absolute crumbs). And now it's a show about sibling love.
I mean. People would RIOT. But at least itd be something! This show was just... so boring. And that's the worst thing a source of entertainment can be
(Also, again, if netflix is really wanting Zutara, surely she should have stolen and read the diary? And read about Ursa, and that makes her think of Kya, and she starts to feel for him? Understand him? Maybe learns about him and how to defeat him. He realizes this and starts to study her more, get images of him sketching her, taking her as serious as he does the Avatar. Lile hello? I don't even ship this and I can tell ya the material was there if you wanted it.
Which makes me say: it's just bait. No zutara was ever really planned because netflix doesn't want to get in trouble or be complex. Honestly, I think they were aiming for "it's more feminist if she DOESN'T have a love interests" because love is... a tool of the patriarchy apparently?? It's so boring, guys.)
#natla#aang#atla#sokka#katara#thoughts#i like au sokka is the avatar idea#never see it#as hes not a bender obvi#bur itd be kinda like kyoshi like he has no bending until it hits him#idk im into it#into any idea with substance after this mess yikes

Bumi gets his tattoos
(ID:
Tenzin: "Today, we welcome our newest airbending master. I know our father would be so proud."
Image of Bumi with arrow tattoos, standing in front of the airbender crest ceremonial hall, mirroring how Jinora also had her ceremony as the music "Service and Sacrifice" plays. He's smiling with tears in his eyes, happy. )
