She loves him

Mai quick sketch

"mai isn't izumi's mother, her and zuko broke up in the comics and mai is seeing another guy."

literally her and zuko:

Zuko: I love my wife. I love my wife Mai so much. She's so perfect. God, it's so good to be a husband because I love my wife. I want to get on the top of a mountain just to scream I LOVE MY WIFE. Aang: Is that how I sound when I talk about Katara? Toph: You're only realizing that now, Twinkle-toes?

This is pretty much their dynamic (⁠｡⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠｡⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♡

✨️A little draw it in your style moment ✨️

Mai truly is for us emotionally repressed girlies like

Her whole character arc is like she’s emotionally repressed and was never allowed to express herself so she puts up all these walls and acts like she doesn’t care about anything and is so closed off.

And then her whole arc culminates with her loudly and proudly declaring the love she feels so deeply for Zuko. she expresses just how deep these emotions go, she is willing to die for him. Because she cares so much. Her emotions, her care, her love are so strong that they overpower her fear. Not just her fear of Azula but her fear of expressing herself, of stepping out of line, of standing for what she believes in. Which at this moment is Zuko- she doesn’t even fully understand what he’s doing, but she knows she trusts him more than anyone else. More than the fire nation propaganda and brainwashing, more than Azula, more than her parents. She knows Zuko has a good heart, she loves him for it, and she trusts it.

And that trust and love empowers her to finally express just how deeply she feels.

I don’t know if I’m articulating this very well but as someone who has always struggled to express myself Mai is just so fucking good and powerful to me.

lol this gives me hope for not only Maiko, but also for a future Azula redemption 🫶🏻

i hate when people treat mai and zukos break up like it was permanent like this is not something you do if you are over your ex im sorry 😭😭

Honestly every time when I remember that Zuko loved one girl for all his life, it makes me SO HAPPY. The Girl, with who they were in love since childhood, with who they were separated.. separated for forever as it seemed at the moment, and they tried to put up with the idea that they probably would never see each other again (and Zuko were lying to himrself that he would return and everything would be as it had been, but Mai had a more sober look at things and understood that she had little to zero chances to see Zuko again). The Girl with who he was separated the second time after their reunion, again risking to lose each other. The Girl who sacrificed herself to save him. The Girl who in the end became his wife, his Fire Lady, mother of his kid. Only Girl who made him smile. No other girl or a guy in the whole show can even compare with her and what she was to Zuko. Nor Ty Lee, nor Katara, nor Aang, Sokka, Song or Jun.. Only Mai. They never hated each other.

Mai making fun of Zuko will never be not funny
