ok i have two questions:

first and foremost: is it ok to write smth based on ur pirate au! (full credits of the idea go to u ofc and if u want to include anything on the fic i will!!)

second: could u talk more abt the ocs u drew behind iroh on that zuko eating the pai sho tiles piece??

First OMG YES OF COURSE go wild and then send me the link 👀

Second OK Uh I don’t have a very specific idea for these characters (it was mostly like ok I need 4 ppl of the crew to witness iroh getting obliterated at pai sho) but general head canons from left to right are:

- Woman with the headscarf: this one is kind of a cheat because I just drew how I pictured another oc (Chenda) from ofherlionheart’s fic “like the sun inside of you” (which I highly recommend.) I was thinking of her being maybe one of those firebending healers we see in LoK and how she could have helped zuko recover and firebend again.

- Man with the hook: you know that Tumblr post that’s like “pirates were accommodating of all kinds of disabilities” bc yeah. I was thinking of Zuko’s vision + hearing impairments and how he couldn’t be the only one on the ship with disabilities. That man is an excellent forger & swindler and bakes the best sweets (which mai adores.)

- Person the two braids/undercut: zero clue. While drawing I had the brief thought of “oh what if they’re on the ship for love” (love of what/who? Up to you) and then the thought died there. (I can also say its v loosely based on a sketch of Kirima - a Kyoshi novels character - I did a while ago?)

- Big Guy With The Tats: beloved. He’s the one who gave the crew matching spiritual tattoos. He was training at a monastery before getting forcibly drafted in the fire nation navy since he hadn’t yet completed his studies.
