I love you

I drew this a while ago for my husband when he was feeling down. If you’ve been having a hard time, I hope it gets better soon. You’re not alone. Sending pidgey hugs

today i offer you absolutely nothing, yet again

still not done rewatching but I HAD TO DRAW THEM I HAD TO 

how long does it take zuko to convince his staff that he isn’t gonna slap, punch, beat, banish, or otherwise assault them?

that they aren’t about to lose their job (or life) over a spilled cup or broken vase?

that he’s not trying to trick them when he says they can relax the ornate and complex flattery each time they leave the room?

that he means it when he bans corporal punishment in the palace (and out of it) and that they really can come to him if someone forgets that rule?

that they haven’t upset him or wronged him when he asks to take his meal without the full serving staff of twenty watching him?

zuko is sensitive, even when he tries not to be, and watching these people be so afraid of him would break his heart. but that also means we gets to see it when they begin to open up to him.

firelord zuko who’s feeding the turtleduks when a toddler comes running over. she almost topples into the water but zuko sweeps her up before she’s in any danger. he holds her in his lap and shows her how to feed them gently. when the mother comes careening out screaming for her child she stops short at the sight of zuko and collapses into a bow, head to the floor. she begs forgiveness but zuko shakes his head, and offers his hand for her to stand. he hands over her daughter, asks the girl’s name. his guard calls him back into meetings so he leaves with a smile and a bow to both of them. it’s the first time a child hasn’t been afraid of zuko here in the fire nation, and he smiles all week

firelord zuko who spends months trying to win over the kitchen staff enough the let him make his own tea. they refuse at first (as much as one is allowed to) and stand on principle. but zuko is patient, so patient, so he begins to visit the kitchens once a week. he tells the head chef he’s going to come, it’s not a surprise. and he just thanks the staff, asks their names, maybe mentions an earth nation dish he had that’s native to a region who’s dignitaries are coming. once he’s been a few times he asks about their lives. simple things, never much more than yes or no answers; he doesn’t want to force them into speaking more than they’re comfortable just because he is their firelord. but 10 months in, and he finally convinces the guards, tasters, and head chef he can make his own tea. the head chef still insists on checking the tea as it comes in (special shipment from the jasmine dragon of course) because he’s been working in the palace for a long time and he’s seen many leaders but zuko is the first firelord he’s actually wanted to serve. and he’s seen this 18 year old kid trying so damn hard to help the palace and nation heal, tying so hard to win favor with his dishwashers, that he wants to keep safe. he may not prepare the tea, but not a leaf gets to the firelord that isn’t personally checked by him.

and in a couple years, the permeating sense of fear and dread begins to leech out of the palace. maybe the maids start humming in the corridors, maybe the washer women laugh and talk as they go about their business, maybe the royal dressers don’t flinch at the scars all across their young leaders skin anymore

maybe the country is being run by a smart, kind, genuine young man who works tirelessly to restore their honor as people of the fire nation. zuko brings music, art, poetry, dancing and life back to the fire nation. he teaches the wisdom he learned from the sun warriors and old masters: fire isn’t just hate and death. it can be life, light, a sun blazing inside you and he fosters that light in his people. so they can shed the last 100 years of hatred together and foster a new nation of peace

sokka: *on cactus juice*

zuko: how high are you right now?

sokka: how what?

zuko: high

sokka: hello

ok so i screenshotted this moment because i thought it was pretty cool

the first time we get to see all four elements working together for a common enemy, blah blah blah, but i started laughing because

sokka’s fucking boomerang. sokka threw a fucking boomerang at princess azula, renowned lightning bender and heir-apparent to the throne of the fire nation.

and sokka threw a boomerang at her.

Imagine you had this friend back in middle school, you hung out with him, you came up with new ideas, you played on the slides, etc., you had fun together, he made you laugh, he was a good friend. Then, you found out that he had died. Obviously, you’re upset, but you can’t let the grief weigh you down. You have plans for the world. Plans that you carry out with your expert tactical skills. You manage to think three steps ahead of everyone else. You pretend to be innocent on the outside, so that the people who killed your friend won’t ever think that you’re a threat. You are. You plan and strategize, eventually becoming the mayor of one of the largest cities in the country. You have your supporters. You have your revolters. Still, you manage to lead the city. You live a good life. Decades pass. You’ve aged. Your memory starts to fade a bit. Still, you can still recall that friend you made, nearly a century ago.

And then that friend just walks right on into your office.

And he’s still twelve.

And a cabbage seller is yelling about his cabbages.

And the day just got a little more interesting.

yo FUCK baby yoda we love baby appa in this house

Valley of the End 2 was the Best and Most Significant Fight in Naruto and Here’s Why

The final battle between Naruto and Sasuke at the Valley of the End was the best and most significant fight in Naruto not only because it was the climax of the whole plot of Naruto, had great animation, and was set on Naruto’s 17th birthday, but also because it was the REALEST fight in Naruto.

NOW WAIT LET ME FINISH!

I know that Naruto and Sasuke used a ton of overpowered jutsus at the beginning just like every other fight in Naruto, but as the fight dragged on, we see those supernatural elements get stripped away from the fight. No more jutsus. No more Susanoos. No more Sage Tailed-beast mode. No more filters. Just two teen aged boys duking it out with one another until they ran out of energy, EVEN when they ran out of energy.

Because here we have two boys, two teenage boys, who had opposing ideologies that wanted to prove that one of them was right and they were hurting each other even though deep down inside they felt pain when they hurt each other. Two boys who wanted to STOP, but CAN’T because they were in too deep in their tangled mess of a fight that it was the only way they could have resolved their differences.

AND THAT MADE THE FIGHT SO REAL.

Because in reality we have these same fights with our friends, our loved ones.

We have these fights that we don’t really want to take part in, but have to because we can’t reach an understanding with one another if we don’t.

And that was what Naruto and Sasuke’s fight was at the end of the day for at their very core, they were just two teen aged boys FIGHTING each other tooth and nail because they wanted to REACH each other.

Because Naruto and Sasuke fought to be able to UNDERSTAND and STAND SIDE BY SIDE EACH OTHER.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!
