-PROMPTS OF ART:
Yue yeeting Azula as an attack maneuver; Azula is thrown towards an enemy while covering herself up in flames and is wearing a deranged grin
Yue having menacingly "nice" smile while Azula stares at her in adoration; Yue is trying to frighten some rando who insulted Azula here
Catzula perched on Yue's head
These were such fun requests! I went a little overboard with the first one... I'd quite like to never do that again, though. I don't understand how people constantly make comics! It's crazy! Yapping under the cut!
SO! The Chinese text in the very first panel with Yue is meant to be 闪通臂 which the "fan through back" posture, which Yue is meant to be pictured doing... something similar to that.
Yue is wearing khăn lươn and khăn mỏ quạ, the headwear. I got this inspiration from the Tumblr atlaculture, which if you are not familiar, the person (people?) who run it does an amazing job compiling... cultural inspiration for Avatar! I chose this headwear specifically because it was stated to be used to protect the hair from the Sun, and potentially be used by Earth Kingdom outlaws... I have no particular AU in mind for that, but I thought it was fun, and a good way to hide and protect Yue's hair.
For "Catzula" here, I wasn't sure if there was some specific AU in mind that this was meant to be, so I just went ahead and made her a normal cat... I opted for making her a Thai, or "Wichien Maat", not the exact same thing as a Siamese! They are meant to be the predecessor to the modern Siamese. According to some rumors, the Siamese cat was once a breed exclusive to royalty and nobility. I decided to take that, because of the whole FN royal family thing, and then went for Thai instead of Siamese breed specifically just because the Thai is considered the older breed.
