Ash Quaritch design for A3...

There's a leaked image doing the round with someone who could be an ash Na'vi, or could be Quaritch half dressed as one... So hey.

Can you tell I fucking hate backgrounds?

Here's the screenshot in question, under the split:

[cats-and-fiction]

Pulling his Tail

Once Again just in case for people who havn‘t watched Avatar yet. A spoiler warning.

Na‘vi Quaritch and human reader

You two walked along the tall wall in a leisurly pace. Him just wanting to do a round and make sure everything is safe and you had simply decided to come along.

He is walking in front of you with his tail slowly swishing from one side to the other.

It was a random intrusiv thought. Your hand moved forward and you grabbed it. Holding his tailtip with your hand, his tail still trying to move from left to right.

Though it only took mere seconds for him to notice. Ears turned backwards, rigid pose as he suddenly stopped and you almost ran into his back.

His tail is pretty sensitive and he reminded you from then on to better not do it again

Though it would be a lie if he told you it felt bad. The opposite, if you two got busy if you give his tail a little tug he would get a bit rougher with you

Reminding you who has the reins in the hands. And who is a bad girl/boy? Did Daddy need to remind you again?

If you twirl it around your fingers and get flirty with him he will pin you against a wall the second he gets a chance. And then in the end of the day he would make sure you couldn't walk straight the next morning

idk why, but "hey max!" made me so emotional

[kat-rose-griffith]

I liked it better when Katara released Aang from his 100 year slumber through the pure unfiltered rage of a feminist rant at her brother

[galindaelphaba]

#cabbage guy being in the adaption is very important to me

[demaparbat-hp]

*pats Zuko's head* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences.

No way they got rid of katara's anger in THE feminine rage era

[seno99]

All of this. But also, he is more than his memories. And I hope they show some struggle between what he was made to be and what he actually is—Na’vi. Because y’all can’t tell me he doesn’t have some inner conflict. I mean he already said it, “I’m not that man.” I can only hope that JC Debra more into that and how he isn’t his human counterpart and is actually his own person, not what was copy and pasted from the previous Quaritch.

quaritch is a disgusting man who did atrocious and unforgivable things, and that’s a fact.

another fact is that spending time with spider, learning the na’vi language, their culture through his son, being close to him and sharing moments together, really did a number on him.

quaritch from the first movie wouldn’t have hesitated to kill that metkayina woman. he probably would’ve executed her and, after getting the information he wanted, he would have slaughtered the whole village.

but we saw spider begging him to spare her, to stop, to not kill her. and quaritch didn’t.

is he suddenly a good guy? god no he fucking torched the whole village seconds later, and there’s no way he can atone for what he did in the first movie, but meeting spider changed him.

i don’t think he’s gonna be the villain in he next movies. he’s not gonna be “good” but i don’t think he’s gonna be the main threat either. also, he cares about spider, spared kiri to save his life, i hope they meet again and show us a bit more of their relationship.

Selected Excerpts From The Fire Nation Royal Palace Servants' (Unofficial) Handbook

Or: Revisions To Normal Protocol After The Ascension Of Agni's Exalted Flame, The Dragon Of The Sun, et cetera, Fire Lord Zuko

1. Agni's Exalted Flame, The Dragon Of The Sun, et cetera, Fire Lord Zuko should not be referred to by his full titles and styles, no matter the context. This appears to annoy him. "Fire Lord Zuko" and "Lord Zuko" are acceptable, as well as "your majesty" and "my Lord".

1.1 "Lord Hotman", however, is unacceptable.

1.2. Even if the Avatar specifically requests you to address Fire Lord Zuko as that.

1.3. In fact, any attempts by the Avatar, the Lady Beifong, the honorable Tribesman Sokka or even Master Katara to get you to address Fire Lord Zuko by anything other than his proper title should be disregarded.

1.4. Referring to Ozai of the Fire Nation (titles rmvd, dishon.) as "The Loser Lord", however, is acceptable.

2. Fire Lord Zuko is aware of the concept of mortality, but does not seem to understand how it relates to His Majesty. Following activities should be discouraged: Free climbing, glider usage, contact with exotic animals larger than a turtleduck (or smaller, if the animal is known to be venomous), amateur theatre productions, cooking, sailing, spelunking, botany, please see full list in the Matron's office.

2.1. It should be noted that His Majesty's belief that mortality does not apply to him does not appear to be completely unfounded. After several "close calls", it has been decided that upon his demise, Fire Lord Zuko should lie in state for at least two weeks.

2.1.1. We do not want another incident.

3. The turtleducks in the Western Pond do not need to be fed by the servants any more.

3.1. However, the turtleducks should be rotated out at regular intervals in order to prevent overfeeding.

4. At any official social functions, at least three servants should be vigilant in case His Majesty tries to tell a joke.

4.1. It should be noted that there is no concern for His Majesty's jokes being offensive, crass or otherwise contrary to good taste. They are simply very bad. His Majesty always ends up embarrassed.

5. Any children left unattended in the Royal Palace for more than 15 degrees can be retrieved from the Fire Lord's office.

6. Should His Majesty go missing, the following places should be searched: roofs and any high places, cellars and secret passages, the fur of the Avatar's sky bison (which is surprisingly deep), and every place that an ordinary five-year-old would think to hide in during a game of "Hide and Explode."

6.1. All of the Imperial Firebenders as well as any soldier who wears a mask during the course of their duties should be questioned.

6.1.1. Important note: Some of the soldiers who are especially close to His Majesty can perform a passable imitation of him. Efforts should be made to prevent an uneducated soldier from, say, conducting a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture.

6.2. After the recent incident, that list is expanded to include the Kyoshi Warriors and any other groups that might wear concealing full face paint.

6.3. If all of these measures prove ineffective, a letter should be sent to The Dragon of the West, Prince Iroh, asking His Highness to return His Majesty.

6.4. If a ransom note is delivered, it should be immediately checked against the handwriting samples from the honorable Tribesman Sokka as well as Avatar Aang, before any other actions are taken.

6.4.1. Replying "Good luck, he's your problem now" to a ransom note is absolutely unacceptable.

6.4.1.1. To further drive home the point, the Royal Archives are required by law to preserve every single piece of royal correspondence. That thing will end up in a museum.

This handbook will be updated should it prove necessary.

Dallas Liu is an amazing Zuko.

Like perfect vibes. He’s angry, he’s whiny, his voice cracks, he drew rage art of Aang and hung it on his wall right after meeting him, he disguised himself by wrapping a scarf over his eye, some random woman beat him up…

I’ve only seen three episodes and he’s perfect.

[buckyssexcmetalarm]

zuko screaming at aang about his notebook really gave “you stole my dream journal” vibes and i honestly love that characterisation for zuko

he WOULD be asking mr electric to send him to the principals office to have him expelled like no notes perfect

[quijotine]

zuko being pissy because aang stole his diary is the most on-brand thing in episode 2 so far omg

Imperfect Canvass

Read on AO3.

It's easy to forget, there, in Caldera. So they do everything in their power to remember. . The Blue Spirit and the Painted Ghost meet in the city each night, two souls in eternal search for repentance. Katara tries to find a way to kill the war, whatever it takes. Zuko, the Perfect Prince, offers her the only pieces of him that remain.

As you all step out, what do you see?  (episode 111 spoiler:)
