This is hilarious and wholesome. I love it.

Okay last crack post for the night - I don’t think I ever posted this one lol

[kimwarris]

It is possible.

I am strangely proud of myself, for after more than 2,5 years I found it in me to continue working on an abandoned WIP. And that's with everything that is happening in my life right now. I know, there's too many WIPs for me to work on, but one at a time :-) For the moment, I enjoy being happy about it (though it will take a while until I upload it, because I first have to translate it to English).

[kimwarris]

Why am I like this?

[kimwarris]

I do love that in Rohan culture, it seems that it's the custom for men to go out and fight and die heroically, and for women to honour their sacrifice by crying over their bodies or at their funerals. The men are to be brave, the woman to be loving. The men are to do great things. The women are to remember.

But in the film, whereas Eowyn's most iconic moment is her slaying of the Witch King, a great, heroic deed that cements her place in history, Eomer's most iconic moment is (arguably) his guttural scream when he sees Eowyn dead on the ground, dropping to his knees and cradling her to his chest.

Not only is Eowyn's most iconic moment a scene in which she takes on, by her culture's definition, the man's role, the most important role of a man, to die heroically, Eomer's most iconic moment is when he takes on the "woman's" role, to grieve.

I do love his "Death!" charge in the books so much, but because of this parallel between the siblings, I also love the film version where there is no battle for him to fight, no justice for him to wreak, there's nothing for him to do but cradle Eowyn to his chest and rock her back and forth.

AMAZING!

Amazing Toph & Zuko fanart [x][x].

[kimwarris]

I need a Zukka arranged marriage AU where Sokka is grumpy about his impending arranged marriage and even more annoyed when the Fire Nation sends over a whole bunch of scrolls on proper courting practices and etiquette, because fuck if he’s reading all of that.

But then Zuko arrives and Sokka has an, “Oh, no, he’s hot,” moment. And even though he tries to remain aloof and act like he’s totally not into Zuko, he’s kind of intrigued by Zuko and also feels kind of protective of Zuko when Zuko doesn’t know basic information that even the youngest kid in the Water Tribe is aware is essential for survival. And like, Zuko seeks him out at meals to sit by him but also tries to give him space, and even if he is a bit stuffy and addicted to rules and etiquette. But he’s polite to Gran-Gran and to Sokka’s dad, and even tries to be nice to Katara, who’s even more skeptical of this arranged marriage than Sokka himself.

And like, one thing that’s really weird is that Zuko keeps giving Sokka gifts? Like, he gives Sokka spices from the Fire Nation, he gives Sokka a sword when he learns Sokka is interested in learning how to fight with one, etc. And he thinks this is nice and all, but he never really knows of anything to give Zuko in return. But hey, maybe the constant gifts are a weird Fire Nation way of showing affection?

But soon Zuko starts acting weird and distant, and Sokka can tell he’s stressed and he looks super tired and upset, and Sokka can’t get him to talk to him no matter what he tries. And Sokka is suddenly very worried for this other boy who he wouldn’t have cared about a few weeks ago but who seems so sad now.

So finally—FINALLY—Lt. Jee, who’s been watching this all go down with an unimpressed scowl on his face, basically tells Sokka that all those gifts from Zuko? Yeah, those are courting gifts, and by accepting them, Sokka showed that he’s considering Zuko as a suitor. But since he never reciprocated and gave Zuko anything return, the marriage can’t go through. And if Sokka doesn’t accept, Zuko will have to return to the Fire Nation in disgrace and Ozai would consider him a complete failure. And BTW, if Sokka had just READ THE SCROLLS that the Fire Nation sent over, Sokka would know this. (Lt. Jee is so done with this dude who thinks he can play games with his beloved Fire Prince’s heart. Not while Jee’s around.)

So IDK how this ends, but Sokka should be at least optimistic about his future with Zuko, and Zuko should be shyly pleased that his intended appreciated his efforts all along, yay. And also, Hakoda should find out about what a scummy dad Ozai is and adopt Zuko. Jee is happy his boy gets to be happy. Please reblog if you have other ideas/anything to add!

also like 10-15 years from now I hope someone makes one of those inspirational sports movies except it’s a 50 year old woman who wants to play competitive online games and everyone tells her she can’t because she’s too old, her reflexes are too slow, etc, and she gets this grizzled trainer except they’re a 19 year old kid who had a promising career until carpal tunnel syndrome ruined their chances of becoming the world champion so they train her and she fuckin wins, the end. movie of the year.

I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE IM GONNA DO WITH THIS SO *YODELS*

[kimwarris]

kyoshi warrior! zuko brainrot... the way it takes sokka an embarrasingly long time to realize that zuko isn't a girl... and even longer for the gaang to realize the scar is there under all that makeup... the way zuko & suki as besties would cure my depression... the way it would absolutely be zukka.... omg dkshslsjshsks

Does anyone else know exactly how their story will end, like fully fleshed out, vivid image, word for word quotes, but they don't want to write it down just so when it gets hard, they can think "ah, I have to keep writing, otherwise I can't write that part."

The bad part is that usually there is a long long way between what you have written down and the end.

Keep your priorities straight: post fic.

sokka i have missed u sm where u been loca

[kimwarris]

I'm having more half-formed zukka thoughts, so:

Hakoda mentions to Sokka that he has been thinking about making an arrangement with Zuko to marry a woman from the Southern Water Tribe, for political reasons. Something about unity between nations.

Sokka isn't completely sure, but he thinks that Zuko has implied in his letters that he isn't particularly interested in women. Sokka volunteers himself to marry Zuko. For purely diplomatic reasons, of course.

It's not that Sokka is in love with Zuko, or anything like that. It's just that he can't stand the thought of his friend being stuck in a loveless sham of a marriage. And, if he really lets himself think about it, he can't stand the thought of someone else being the one to marry Zuko.

🫶 for the zukka fans (and fanartists)

[kimwarris]

No doubt this has been said before, but Zuko shouldn't have ended up with Mai or Katara

With Mai he just seemed to lean into his edgy sad boy-ness too much. It felt forced and like she was influencing him rather than "Mai is the only person who understands" which the writers might have been going for. Her "I love Zuko more than I fear you" was the only thing that made me not completely hate their relationship.

They should've been "best friends who everything thinks are dating" and then they're just like "Ew no, this is just my trauma friend".

Katara with Zuko felt like a slightly better Katara and Jet. Katara is just doing the middle/high school thing where she's like "oh my god, a chill edgy guy, he's so deep and I definitely won't feel emotionally neglected after awhile" (Not that I think Zuko would be neglectful, but Katara definitely wasn't into the awkward sweetheart side of Zuko).

Y'all probably know what I'm going to say next.

He should've ended up with Jin

She loved awkward serious guy Zuko who has funny banter with his uncle that doesn't know how to make tea

And having a non bender girl from the Earth Nation become queen/empress of the Fire Nation would've meant so much for the sake of peace between nations and the Fire Nation royal family becoming a whole lot less toxic

I would kill for a scene where Zuko talks to Mei or Sokka about his date with her, and they go "Bud, she was trying to kiss you"

Then Zuko us like "Oh. Ohh..." And then when he goes back for her, he does an awkward little rant about how sorry he was for leaving and then she kisses him on the cheek because she wouldn't dare kiss him on the lips without him leaning in too. They kiss, and afterwards Zuko is like "Here's an invitation to my coronation." There's a moment of silence as Jin realizes that Zuko isn't just any firebender... And she just smiles and says she'll be there.

So, bear with me here...

What if Zuko got an attack of conscience on the way back to the Fire Nation, after Azula attacked Aang? After breaking Uncle out of the brig, and fleeing in a rowboat a great storm tossed him into the waves. Iroh desperately searched and called for him in the broiling foam and prayed to Agni to save him as he couldn't. Agni answered his prayers and ensured their warrior washed up safely on an island that would sustain him. Later Agni came to Iroh in a dream and told him he needed to find the Avatar. Zuko would be okay. But the Avatar needed a teacher. So Iroh trusted the Gods and the Spirits and set out to find the Avatar.

And what if during Aang's recovery on the stolen Fire Nation ship they were discovered and attacked. In the fray and in saving his Father's life, Sokka was thrown overboard? Aang, weakened from Azula's attack couldn't try and rescue Sokka. Katara dove in but couldn't find him. So Aang asked for Yue's help. She saved Sokka, sending him to an island where he could survive.

If the sun and the moon just happened to plot that this was the same island for both Zuko and Sokka... Well, that's just a coincidence only...

Be prepared for sporadic, inconsistent and random, aged-up, 'Wrecked' pictures. NSFW pictures are due and I just have to find the right platform for that... Perhaps my AO3...🤔 But anyway... Keep a look out! I will link (I am diving deep and never coming up for a breath in my renewed obsession of these two)
