modern au iroh, try as he might, cannot get his nephew into tea. this is because coffee exists and you know the fridge at home is filled with canned coffee that zuko drinks way too much of. he always has it black until he discovers he can mix in cayenne pepper into it. Everyone Hated That (except zuko).

much to iroh's distress, his niece likes coffee too. azula pretends she likes it black because it makes her seem more adult but in actuality it's too bitter for her. then she learns about the existence of Cold Brews and there's no going back from that. she is considerably more reasonable about her coffee consumption.

ty lee, yue, and sokka are fancy latte buddies. mai also drinks her coffee black (like her soul) but if you think she's going to set foot into a starbucks, she's going to kill you. independent coffee shops or bust. aang, toph, suki and katara prefer tea. they are officially iroh's favorite children.

(zuko will still drink his uncle's tea if he makes it. he was there for him a lot when he was recovering in the hospital. he guesses he can put up with his hot leaf juice.)

everyone always says xiao is mysterious and i agree - but the thing is, he's not only that way because he doesn't talk a lot. it's also because when he says something, it doesn't mean it's the whole truth about him.

xiao tells lumine that he's unable to understand human emotions but he's one of the most gentle souls she's ever met. he says she shouldn't get too close to him and then, swears that he will be always there when she calls. birthdays are useless in his eyes but he makes a gift for her, nonetheless. sight seeing in the city is not his thing but he's still willing to go there with her - for her.

it's all a bunch of little white lies xiao tells her and himself; and it takes everything in lumine to pretend not to notice it.

because although he might say he's not emotional nor romantic, she sees something way different. every little gesture, like how he makes use of any excuse - no matter how flimsy it is - just to touch her and stay by her side longer. the longing glances when his gaze always searches for her figure in every room he enters. she feels his eyes linger on the expanse of her skin even when the conversation between them is over, burning in a way that makes her want to grab him by the collar of his shirt and kiss him senseless.

it makes lumine tense, too. just a little.

even when he's silent, xiao's aura is so intense...

there's more to him. perhaps, it's something he isn't truly aware of. but perhaps, he knows that emotions - that odd hunger and yearning that flashes across his face from time to time - he hides are deep enough to push him to the point of no return, swallow him whole and destroy his self-control. the enormity of fondness he holds for her is scary at times–

nonetheless... xiao lumine knows - the honest and open side of him - is kind, gentle.

no matter how careless she is, he takes care if her and is worried about her well-being more than she is. he stays by her side at night to make sure she sleeps well. his voice softens while he's speaking to her, too - when he says her name like it means everything to him. like she is everything he has ever wished for and more.

and maybe, hopefully, it's true and xiao wants lumine. just how she wants him, if not more.

Normal people are asleep post Unicorn Academy ocs because one of my pals very kindly traced a shot of Leaf to give me a base to make refs with, I didn't feel like trying to change up the mane so bear with me jdfjsiodfsdf. (These references are her pre and post bonding looks, the markings are also courtesy of the kind friend who drew the lineart because I wasn't happy with the initial markings concept I had and they offered to help me with that as well.)

Anyways, allow me to introduce you all to Artemis, a unicorn with "Moon Magic", which gives her the power to enter the dreams of others and create illusions. She uses the dream power to more often beg her rider for treats at 2am than actually do useful things, at least when she's using it on her own accord. She's a relatively mellow and easygoing mare in her downtime, but during training or possibly more dire situations, she becomes far more alert and active. Artemis' first priority is to protect her rider, sometimes so much so that she'll actively ignore others in danger purely to keep her rider safe. Not all the time...but it's a frequent occurrence.

Something something about the cursed mummy working at a rodeo and the connection to lassos and wrangling bulls and foreshadowing. Something something about buck wearing a moustache when he dresses up as billy boils which connects things to Eddie.

How rodeos are connected to Texas in the general psyche. The idea that Eddie needs to go and wrangle with his bull in the next episode - Helena.

That she has been constantly trying to Buck him off but he needs to hold on in order to break the curse she has been on his life - the play on Buck being a massive support to Eddie - that gives him the strength to stay on and win the fight and pen the bull.

That he needs to break free of that curse in order to transform into his true self and how the werewolf is a representation of that happening and also a foreshadowing for the shaving off of the stache

Something something- Even though Ryan seems comfortable in himself (and likely his sexuality) he still sticks to the status quo in the first movie, saying things aren't right when others start to express their various interests, even though in the second movie he's shown to be interested in yoga and baseball (which a theatre kid 'shouldnt' like), meaning he to some extent was repressing himself, and over HSM2 he's learning to be more openly himself around others- something something

Blackjack: (to Nema) “Ah, hi! I hope this isn’t too weird. What made you realize you were asexual? How did it feel when you, ah, came to terms with it, for lack of a better phrase?”

[Nema]

"Okok, so. When I was growing up, many of the Pokemon at home were in, ahem, relationships with eachother, and my caretaker at the time, Kappa, occasionally talked about how pretty she thought women were.

"And, after I hit puberty, It got me wondering, "Hm. I wonder why I don't feel this way? Or don't want to do these things that the adults and other teenagers talk about?"

"The uh- horizontal tango never sounded appealing to me. Like, at all. But, every single person my age talked about it constantly. Even the teenagers at Anville and Mistralton City kept going on and on about it. But, I never felt the same. I was really agonizing over it. Wondering if I was some weirdo."

"I spoke about it to Kappa, and she said that I was probably Asexual and that my feelings were completely normal!"

"And, over time, I did fall in love and found a partner who respected my preferences. This also made me realize I wasn't Aromantic which, is a different thing... I think. But, I'm pretty comfortable with my Asexuality now, and it honestly makes me happy to be able to put a word to my feelings."

"Anyway, the point is that if you think that you are Asexual or under the AroAce spectrum at all, then that's totally okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong with you, and you shouldn't let dumb societal norms tell you otherwise!"
