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.)

Hiiii‼️i remember reading your little fashion designer!akaashi thing and, i was wondering if you could make headcanons about him
pretty please
(☝️🤮; anw can you or can you not? this is a business deal ma'am, i ask, you answer 🫲🤨/j )
a/n : hello 😭😭 im so sorry for the late reply but yes ma'am business deal shall be made 🤝, also i am aware that you asked for headcanons and this is a drabble but it's an idea i had for a while but i will be making a headcanons post! so lmk if you want me to tag you in it <33
you knew akaashi.
well, you didn't exactly know him, you just knew of him.
he was the boy you saw almost every monday and friday when you went to the library for some of your reading time — you didn't see him the first few times you went there but one day, as if heaven dropped one of if its angels, he was just there — and you fell into him.
you didn't see him, truly, as you entered through the door of the library and you unknowingly tripped over your own feet, immediately colliding with someone else as a pair of hands gripped your arms firmly.
"oh my god, i'm so sorry—" you began your blabbering but as soon as you saw the face of your saviour (you may call him that) you were immediately awe-strucked.
he had blue eyes and he stared down at you through thick eyelashes — his hair was jet black and nicely tamed.
he was so beautiful.
you gasped, "i'm so sorry, sir—" you began again but you were cut off by his laughing, "hey, it's okay, just watch your step." he said softly — fuck, even his voice was beautiful, he sounded so angelic.
you could feel your face heat up — from embarrassment or intimacy? you weren't really sure.
he let go you, and took a couple of steps back, smiling at you, and you could swear that you saw a hint of red tainting his cheeks, but you thought it might have been from the cold outside.
"i'm y/n," you blurted out, "nice to meet you."
"akaashi," he said — holy shit, he sounded so charming, "akaashi keiji, nice to meet you too."
you could only smile at him, unable to say anything because you weren't sure what to say — but then akaashi took it upon himself to wave goodbye to you and head deeper into the library.
you stood at the entrance for a few more moments, contemplating what the fuck just happened and whether it was a dream or not.
he was literally so pretty, you didn't that you've ever seen someone so pretty like that before.
after that, you didn't really see akaashi again.
well you saw him, but you didn't really talk to him.
he'd sit a couple of tables away from you, you wondered if he was even aware that you were there — regardless, you couldn't really focus on your book with you glancing at him every few minutes.
he wore glasses, cat eye frames that defined his face, and he'd come in with a coffee or a hot chocolate in hand — sometimes he would read, and sometimes he would pull out a small sketchbook and a pencil and he'd draw.
you didn't really talk to him up until the book you were trying to reach was placed two shelves too high for you.
standing on your tippy toes didn't help you reach the book, you contemplated maybe standing on the shelves to reach it but decided against it after remembering every movie scene where all the bookcases would fall on to eachother thanks to that same decision you were about to make.
you huffed in annoyance, as you took a few steps back away from the shelves and crossed your arms — you thought maybe you could bring a chair and — "hey, do you need help?"
that voice, you knew it.
you turned around to face akaashi standing a few feet away from you, his voice was quiet and almost shy with a timid smile on his lips.
"oh, uhm, yes, that would be great actually." you stammered, as you pointed to the book you wanted.
this was when you realized how tall he was as he easily reached for the book and handed it to you.
you stares at him with an almost awe-like expression as you took the book into your hands, "thank you."
his smile was so warm as he replied, "no problem."
akaashi left the library that day with you hugging the book close to your chest.
he didn't come back for a few days — you wondered what had happened of him, was he too busy to come? or did he catch a cold thanks to the weather of the past few days? — ugh this was ridiculous, it's like highschool all over again with a hallway crush that made your heart pound everytime you saw them at school and wondered what happened to them everytime you didn't see them between classes.
you rest your head on the palm of your hand, subconsciously eyeing the entrance in hopes he would come in — you know you didn't really talk to him, but his presence brought an unknown enjoyment to you — you were happy with him just sitting there and looking pretty, and the even better thing was that he'd acknowledge you with a nod of his head and smile whenever he entered before making it towards his table.
you tap your finger on the table, eyes wandering away from the door to your book, scanning the paragraphs absently without really comprehending what you're reading as your mind wandered back to the thought of him.
he's pretty, and sweet and polite and well mannered and shit, you might have a crush on him, because even now just the thought of him made your heart flutter.
the click of the entrance door makes your gaze immediately switch over to it and as if on cue, akaashi walks in.
he walks in holding two cups of coffee.
your gaze is fixed on him as he acknowledges you with a nod of his head and gives you a smile, one that you mirror — he walks in, and instead of walking over to his usual table he walks over to yours.
your heart races as he stands at in front of the chair parallel to you, "is this seat taken?"
you immediately shake your head, "no no, you can sit — if you want to."
he sets the two cups of coffee on the table as he pulls out the chair and takes his seat. he nudges one of the cups towards you, "i hope you like coffee." he says, his voice tranquil with a sheepish smile on his lips and a faint red blooming on his cheeks.
"as long as it isn't poisoned," you laugh quietly as you take the cup of coffee into your hands.
"oh well, who knows?" he jokes and you grin at him, "well, thanks anyway." — it isn't evident in your behaviour but your heart is leaping out of your chest like in those cartoons and oh how hard are you trying to calm yourself down.
you bring the cup to your lips, ready to take a sip before he faintly places his hand on yours, stopping you, "careful, it's hot." he says before drawing his hand back.
oh my god, did he just touch your hand? — holy shit, he actually did, you weren't imagining it.
you set the cup back on the table as you try to control your pounding heart, and oh, you can recognize the heat in your face.
"so," you clear your throat, "where have you been the past few days?" you ask timidly.
"work gets a bit too much sometimes," he replies, and you notice him fidgeting with his fingers — so you aren't the only shy one here.
silence settles like a cloak over the two of you, its neither uncomfortable nor comfortable. a few moments pass before you reach out for your coffee, deciding that it probably wasn't as hot as before and you take a sip.
"oh my god, that tastes so good," you exclaim after your swallow, it was the perfect balance of sweet and bitter, "where'd you get it from?"
akaashi takes a sip of his own coffee, "it's from a coffeehouse just down the street," he says, "i could take you there, if you'd like."
he mumbles the last part almost inaudibly as his gaze averted away from you, akaashi fiddles with the hem of his sleeve nervously.
your mouth forms into an 'o' shape as you exclaim quietly — for a moment, you thought you might have imagined him saying it, given how quiet he said it, but the deep red on his face made you think otherwise.
"are you...asking me out?" you ask quietly, your tone a bit teasing and you try to fight a smile that's making it's way to your lips but eventually give in to it as you eye him curiously.
his gaze moves over to you again, and he mirrors your smile, "only if you say yes." he says, a hint of playfulness in his voice.
oh my god.
you cover your face as you quietly giggle and try to hide the blush on your cheeks, you feel shy yet enthusiastic as your heart hammers in your chest and you wonder I'd he feels the same way too.
you say, "i'd love that, akaashi."
akaashi blinks at you, almost as if he couldn't believe you'd just agreed to that — his heart clenches in his chest and his stomach drops to his knees, he could feel the warmth on his face and his foot began to tap on the floor.
holy shit, you actually said yes.
"you can call me keiji." akaashi says, "akaashi is my last name."
you gawk at him before you nod, "okay, keiji." you smile as you say his name softly with a bit of emphasize on it.
akaashi feels his heart flutter when he hears his name on the tip of youe tongue, and so he clears his throat as he leans over on the table, "so, say tomorrow, maybe five pm? i'll pick you up from here." he offers.
you can only grin at him as you nod your head enthusiastically, "that would be great."
the truth is, you actually fell for keiji the moment you met him, but what you didn't know was that keiji fell for you too the moment he laid eyes on you — although his fall might have not been as obvious as yours.
