hopping on the soulmark salvage au train by @muffinlance and @duleypostnoted

I adore salvage to death and I'm not giving up the chance to contribute. The marks on Hakoda's arm are based on the description by @alexandriapaige, which I might have butchered (does it look like fire and dragon scales? kinda? i'll take it) and I based Zuko's off the water tribe warpaint shown in the show

it ain't much but-

Red Potions - Useful for More than You’d Think

A fun little drabble inspired by a discussion in the discord.

Based off of the characters from @linkeduniverse

Edit: now with art by the wonderful @duleypostnoted (link is to their art blog).

***

Obviously, they were used to monster ambushes at this point. In their line of work, who wouldn’t be?

But “used to” and “prepared for” were two different things, and it had been quite a while since they’d last been to a town or village to restock on potions and other supplies. Meaning they were having to save and ration out what they did have for emergencies only.

Legend was fine with this. He was the one that took a large part in making sure they rationed things correctly, after all. And he wasn’t as prone to getting injured as others in their party were.

Which was why it was mildly annoying when a damn bokoblin got a lucky strike on his thigh in the middle of the ambush. He’d gone down - not hard, and not after disposing of the bokoblin first, but his ability to stay on his feet was definitely compromised in that moment - which of course alerted the others to the fact that he was injured. And alerted him to the fact he was the only one that took a hit this time around.

Why the hell was he the only one injured? Wild almost always walked away from a fight like this with at least a few cuts.

Legend continued to grumble as Four knelt next to him and rifled through his bag.

“No, no potion,” Legend said, raising up his hand to stop the other.

“We can allow the use of a potion for this, Legend,” Time said. “You won’t be able to travel with an injury like that, and we need to keep moving.”

“I don’t need a potion,” Legend repeated, really wishing that the others would just accept what he said and move on.

“Don’t be an idiot,” Twilight said. “You heard the old man, you need to be able to travel. And don’t think I’m gonna carry you.”

“Ugh,” Legend groaned, running his hand through his hair.

Wait… his hair.

Of course!

Ignoring more insistents from the others to take a potion, Legend grabbed the pink part of his hair and promptly stuck it in his mouth.

He could feel the effects of the red potion he had dyed his hair with starting to work on his leg in time with the sounds of confusion coming from the others.

Four was the one to notice what was happening, being the one who was closest to Legend’s wound.

“Wha-” he began to ask just as Legend promptly spit his hair out.

“Did you know,” he said smugly, “that red potion also makes a fantastic hair dye?”

[nonbinary-octopus]

no, sorry. Minecraft.

I'd like to eventually keep actual bees, but that would have to be a long way out.

okay so there may be a problem

the bees are supposed to come home every night, right?

and I figured that it’s probably been long enough that I can breed the adults and make another baby

so I went over to the hives, which had no sounds of bees inside btw, and waited with flowers in my hand

I waited ALL NIGHT

no bees

not even one

what happened? where did they go?

???

:(

[ourdustytrails]

Well, it’s been a good run!

And I’ve had fun!

Since we all know now that tumblr has decided to shit the bed, I am going to go ahead and start looking for other avenues of content creation immediately and also begin to backup my blog offline. We all know for a fact that tumblr algorithms as they are are horrendous and will probably be abused and unmanned, so assuming that there will be a horrible launch on the 18th is not unfounded.

(Alt-Social Media Links Below Readmore)

Now, of course, I do not have any intention of deleting this blog or leaving for good until the land has gone fallow and I am absolutely positive that there’s nothing left to be had, but I am predicting mass migration to some other platform, so I’m going to go ahead and begin preparations now. Pillowfort.io looks very promising, and if they have any wits about them, they will certainly take advantage and open their site within the next month-- the timing could not be more ripe. With the bold assumption that my followers enjoy my original content and not just my reblogs, I’m currently active at:

https://www.youtube.com/user/Karaiathin https://www.deviantart.com/karaiathin https://twitter.com/GrumpyGrackles (nearly empty at the moment, but perhaps will be used in the coming days) [Pillowfort link hopefully to come]

and of course, I can always be found down at the VF Discord!

Of course, if the staff backpedals immediately like they have in the past, we can all laugh this off within a week and poke fun at tumblr’s inability to be killed, but for now, I’m going to be prepared for the storm on the 18th and the inevitable decline afterwards. @ribbonsandstars @edorazzi @life-under-hypnosis @smool-oomloot @jadedbug @transposon-surfer @galvanbender @pandastix123  @88bullets @duleypostnoted​ @eosiadusk and many more friends and mutuals too numerous to tag

*this post SLAMMING me in the FACE*

No, no, it gets even WORSE!

*Cut For Length* @muffinlance​ @duleypostnoted​

This is a huge FUCK YOU to the Fire Nation Royal Family. The spirits have declared that Ozai and Ursa’s first born, 4th in line for the throne, should have been born into another family. That a “savage water tribe barbarian” is Zuko’s True Parent. Depending on the legal structure of the Fire Nation, Hakoda may have just gotten in-lawed into Fire Nation Royalty. He most definitely has some sort of Foster Parent rights. Which, considering, Zuko at age 13 was allowed a say at a WAR COUNCIL solely based on his birth...

This is a problem. A huge political problem that Azulon-Kill-Your-Own-Son-For-Suggesting-I-Skip-Succession is going to want gone. Immediately. With the mark forever healing, they can’t just burn it off and call it good. Both Ozai and Azulon are going to try and kill bb!Zuko. 

Zuko’s birth was a difficult one, depending on when the mark shows up Ursa may not be awake/healthy enough to put up a fight. 15 years pre-series means Iroh isn’t besieging Ba Sing Se and Lu Ten is still alive. 

[In all the ways he imagined using the Royal Family’s secret messaging system, Lu Ten never imagined he’d have a baby tucked under one arm. It is most definitely not Appropriate Baby Carrying Method but Lu Ten needs his right hand free. He also needs a firm hold because this kid is struggling like that’s all he knows how to do.

Keep fighting. Lu Ten thinks as the message takes off. Smoke flicks past his nose. A wing of the royal palace is on fire and if he strains his ears, he can still hear Ursa screaming her rage. Don’t ever stop. 

He can’t stop either. Father will get the message and come back from the front and put this all to rights. Grandfather and Uncle will have calmed down by then and be ashamed of their reaction. But until then, Lu Ten needs to get out of the Caldera. 

Slipping on a cloak, he strangles a hysterical laugh. Just because he told Father that he was now a man grown doesn’t mean he is ready for a baby, Agni!]

There will be no years of disappointment accumulating in banishment. No slow build up. Only heavy tensions inside the Royal Family and Zuko always knowing Ozai wanted him dead. I forever banish the comics from cannon because of how they turned Ursa into a stereotypical Female Character. THIS Ursa earned her title of “vicious,” this Ursa was happily married to Ozai for several years before his attitude towards their kids broke things down, this Ursa was part of the Fire Nation Imperialism just like Iroh was. This Ursa’s relationship with Azulon is going to make “I only refer to him by his title” of cannon look idyllic. She is complicated, loving and vicious, and exists more than to be the Mom.

There’s a truce. Its a fragile as rice paper next to open flame, but it exists. Until Lu Ten dies. He was just suppose to be running important orders to Iroh. He wasn’t suppose to be near the front and come back in three months. But now’s he is dead and Iroh called a retreat then went missing. Ursa’s greatest supporters are gone and she has to take drastic measures. By the time all is said and done, Ursa and Azulon are both dead. Ozai is the only adult Fire Nation Royalty accounted for. 

[Today proves that it was always Ozai’s destiny to be Fire Lord. All he had to do was be patient. Wait for the right moment, spread the right truths to the wrong people, and here he was. Being crowned god over men.

He had hoped those water bending savages would delay Lu Ten’s return but instead they surpassed his expectations and removed the thorn in his side and crippled the other. Without the barrier of Lu Ten and Iroh, Ursa and his Father destroyed each other just like he knew they would. 

As the sun shines down on the beginning of his glorious reign, there is one shadow. Even decked in red and gold, can’t wash away the blight that is Zuko. At least the bandages hide what remains of his Mark. The boy is wavering back and forth like a sickly tree as he tries to stand under the summer heat. If Ozai had another heir, he would have killed the boy and be done with it. 

Ozai frowns as he recalls Ursa’s refusal to have another child. Now it will be at least two years before he can be assured that Iroh won’t get the throne when he crawls out from whatever cave he shut himself into. Damn, the mandatory “mourning” periods.

“What about Mother?” Ozai has been ignoring this question for hours. He will ignore it for hours longer but Zuko will not give up and finally Ozai snaps out:

“Ursa was a traitor and has been given a traitor’s funeral. Her body was dumped in the pit and buried. Never to see the sun again.” The brat’s face wobbles. 

“But she was my Mother!” 

“Then you should never have been born.” He points at the side of Zuko’s face that is Marked. “If you had the decency to die instead of limping on, stead of being Marked, then she would be alive.”

Ozai sweeps out of the hallway to sit on the throne. Zuko’s sobs are cut off by the doors closing.]

Azulon, while he lived, definitely took Zuko’s Water Tribe Mark as a sign that he just wasn’t thorough enough in his genocide. It isn’t enough just to kill water benders to prevent the return of the Avatar. He need get rid of them all. Eventually, he’d get Zuko’s Spirit Parent and that would get rid of the Mark on his grandchild.

The war effort is retooled. The Northern Water Tribe must fall next. Obviously, Zuko’s Spirit Parent can’t be from the Southern Tribe. They were crippled years ago. Iroh doesn’t besiege Ba Sing Se. He fights at the North Pole. Whose Polar Winter’s give him a very convenient excuse to come back home for months at a time. Both the Southern and Northern Water Tribes are wrecked by the time Cannon starts. 

Hakoda has no idea about any of this. All he knows is that shortly after he married Kya, a blue mask with dual swords crossed beneath, shows up on his shoulder. Bato swears he didn’t give him that tattoo. It takes several tests before Hakoda confirms that it is a Mark. Who its for, he has no idea. No child in the Southern Water Tribe was born with one recently. An Earth Kingdom sailor mentions that the mask is from a famous Fire Nation Play. Hakoda and Kya go see a production held on Kyoshi Island. Hakoda hopes that whoever this kid is, he’s less dramatic than the play. 

(Zuko wasn’t a good fire bender. Swords helped. Sneaking helped more in those months between Ozai becoming Fire Lord and Iroh returning to the capital. Especially when Ozai wouldn’t let Zuko be in public if his Mark was intact. Zuko salvaged exactly one thing of his Mother’s before it was all burned and he’ll keep the theater mask until his dying day.)

Hakoda doesn’t have much time to think about his Spirit Child. Not when he has two Blood Children and the Fire Nation taking extreme dislike to the Water Tribe existing. At All. 

The Southern Water Tribe doesn’t have a village anymore. Its people flee deeper into the Pole or out to sea when soot rains down. Katara and Sokka have been on a ship more than they have ever been on solid land. Some nights, Hakoda feels bad about that, other nights he thanks La and Tui that he still has his children at all. 

Hakoda leads his men into war. Trying to assist the Northern Water Tribe while the Earth Kingdom spends its energy trying to recapture land turned into Fire Nation colonies while ignore the battle ships flocking north and south. How bitter Hakoda is about that depends entirely on how many men he’s lost that month.

Iroh returns to the Fire Nation a changed man...and right into a situation he only envisioned in his worse nightmares. 

[”You left.” Ozai snaps at him, wearing their Father’s crown. “Father was dead and the nation needed a leader. Should I have let is dissolve into chaos?”

Iroh has little love for Ozai. Less since seeing his nephew since he got back, but Ozai is a master at using the truth when it hurts the most. Iroh had let grief blind him to the consequences of vanishing into the Spirit World. He won’t regret it, he learned too much, seen truths he would never have found tucked in the arms of the Fire Nation Army, but there are consequences. Such as his heinous brother ascending to the throne because Iroh had naively believed the peace between Azulon and Ursa would hold as it had for years. That his leaving, temporarily, would not be seen as an abdication by the eyes of the Fire Nation. 

By law and by force, Ozai has pinned Iroh into a corner. Iroh could challenge him to an Agni Kai but Ozai has no reason to accept. He could force the issue but Zuko standing stock still with Ozai’s hand digging into his shoulder reminds Iroh that there is family he has failed that still breathe.

So, Iroh takes a breath and lets out words instead of fire. He walks back his anger, walks behind his brother, but in front of Zuko. Iroh lets Ozai believe he’s won. That Iroh is a broken man who cares about nothing but tea and his nephew being left alone. 

As much as Ozai is a manipulator, he was never good a building things. His strategies are devastating but brief. Iroh takes his time. Building relationships that will be key later, when Zuko is old enough to take the throne himself.

When Ozai’s wife gives birth to a healthy girl, Iroh is already prepped with a ship, a loyal crew, Prince Zuko, and an excuse about finding the Avatar. The official banishment is unhelpful but not unexpected. Zuko takes it hard. He imagined death, not never being able to set foot on the country he loves so much ever again. It’s four days out from port that Iroh gets the second reason for Zuko’s anguish. 

“She’s all alone with him.” Zuko mutters as the doctor changes the bandages again. Ozai had scorched his son’s face again. Its part of the reason Iroh was able to move him out of the capital without a fuss. No one was expecting Iroh to risk his health to move him and Zuko certainly wasn’t going to be able to get out of the Healer’s Wing alone. Like any good general, Iroh weighed the pros and cons and deemed which sacrifices were worth it and knows exactly how much pound of flesh he will take out of his brother at the appropriate time. “Mother said...”

Iroh doesn’t ask for more. He knows that Zuko would be a good brother. He also knows that little Azula won’t see her brother until he’s come of age. That Ozai had caught him one last time, because Zuko had been attempting to sneak into the birthing room when he heard Ozai’s wife’s water had broken. Ozai had been waiting for him. 

Iroh let it happen and, spirits curse him, one day they will collect their pound of flesh for his crimes as well. He expects it. He hopes for it. 

What he hadn’t expected was finding the Avatar.] 

So, Zuko-Its-My-Fault-My-Family’s-Messed-Up-And-Mostly-Dead and I’m-Still-Neck-Deep-In-Fire-Nation-Propaganda is desperately chasing after Aang to prove to his nation (if not his father) that he is Worth Something and get his Uncle’s banishment undone (because Zuko isn’t a complete idiot, he KNOWS Iroh’s exiled because of him. No, he will not listen to Iroh insisting that he doesn’t care or take constructive criticism on how he’s handling being 13, abused, and sailing across the world.) and get back to his sister because he knows Ozai is going to do something horrible to her. 

This does NOT make him any more together than Cannon!Zuko. Things proceed accordingly. 

Let it be noted that the Mark heals at the standard rate for skin/muscle healing without scarring so Hakoda has NO idea that the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation is his Spirit Kid while Zuko takes exactly 56 hours to realize that the Southern Water Tribe Chief is his Spirit Father and proceeds to Not Handle This Well. Afterall, Zuko’s only father figures are Ozai and Iroh. Aka A+ Plus Parenting and Trying But Still Part Of the Web of Abuse. Zuko is not filled with confidence towards Father Figures. But Zuko wants. He wants so bad and as Hakoda shows that he isn’t the Worst, Zuko panics because he’s been hunting Sokka and Katara. He’s hurt them, threatened them, tied to kill them. Hakoda loves them so much, why would he want anything to do with Zuko?

Any way, Marked!Salvage is still messy and heartbreaking and I’m going to die now because just the idea of it has ripped out my soul. 

Okay Okay Okay.... so anyone up for Parental soulmarks Zuko and Hakoda AU of Salvage??? Imagine ZUKO knowing who his Marked Parent is but not HAKODA who only has like idk the blue spirit mask or the dao swords or smth. Maybe soulmarks can't be injured off of someone? So Loserdad couldn't burn it off of him (though not for lack of TRYING)

Zuko, born with his face half done up in vividly beautiful Water Tribe wolf warrior paint: *canon typical scarring occurs MUCH earlier* *hey, at least Ursa caught him when Ozai tried to instintively yeet a newborn out the window*

--- Years later, but not nearly long enough ---

Hakodad, fishing a shivering Fire Nation gremlin out of the water and seeing wolf warrior paint starting to bleed back in wherever his scar has healed: Shit, whose child is this?

[theminecraftbee]

heres my suggestions for the school uniform adjustments for the Main Character Energy of it all, Tango while wearing the uniform perfectly has nonstandard boots, fingerless gloves and a unique bag, Skizz is sleeveless ofc, Gem wears a beanie, sweater and like white tights/socks instead of grey or black? Pearl just wears a big hoodie w/ the hood up underneath or over the blazer blue normally red for negative world, bdubs his bling jeans w/ the knee holes instead of slacks and pocket watch, 1/?

Zed wears a BRIGHT pink and yellow tshirt instead of the button up shirt with the blazer undone, sneakers and science lab goggles around his neck, Grian wears his red sweater over the white button up, has the blazer tied around waist and the tie undone, yes he wears the sweater during summer too he just loses the waist blazer, Impulse wears the school uniform p much perfectly, but has a few buttons undone and opens the jacket and changes to his casual shoes after his dungeon/palace 2/? im giving mumbo a unique outfit too bc hes plot important like shiho or mishima, he wears like black slacks instead of the dark grey that is in the uniform and a red tie instead of the school one, Scott has blue hair and a sports jacket instead of the blazer and like a pride pin or two, im assuming leaning more towards the catholic or english type of uniform rather than the japanses gakuran style, was thinking dark grey pants and blazer, purple plaid tie/bow black button up and dress shoes 3/3

ooooh, I like all of these as design options! yeah, i can go with all of these! they match like, the correct vibes of a lot of the guys here!
