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.)

The art advice that helped me take the first step towards repairing my relationship with making art is "give yourself permission to not make any art"

Which sounds entirely counter intuitive, I wholly realize this, but if you're in a headspace where you just. Constantly have expectations of yourself. The best thing to do is take a step back. I was constantly fighting my brain about making art. And taking a dedicated break from the self imposed expectation to make things was extremely helpful. Sometimes I think there is worth in the idea of just. Being ok with the idea of not being productive. And it hurts and is scary especially if a lot of your self worth is based on your ability to produce art but. If youre stuck, perhaps it's your brain saying it needs a break and forcing it isn't gonna make it better

You're not gonna lose your passion for art. I was extremely afraid I'd never make art again if I allowed myself to stop expecting myself to make art. But as artists, that's not a realistic outcome. You WILL make art again. And you WILL enjoy it. You just have to give yourself the space to actively not make art first, so that your brain later will naturally come around to the idea of being creative again on its own

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.

cjack getting makeovers done by Niki just to spite Tommy by looking more fabulous then him. (He gets a wig with long nails)

I like the idea of him being half robot so just imagine robot walking around drag style just to make one human angry.

Oh he SO would too, he probably wouldn't realize he enjoys the drag itself and would just assume he enjoys it solely for angering cTommy.

It's also funny to imagine cTommy's reaction because i think it would be one of three: him following canon and just not caring, him actually getting slightly annoyed/jealous about it, or him being supportive like "okayyy, pop off king!". Ultimately i think it depends on his mood.

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
