#i want to emphasize that i like jee a normal amount!

[chiptrillino]

you summoned me to talk about jee?

I feel too self-conscious to do deep dive character analyses but based on what little we know from canon i would sum him up as: +grumpy and judging (had to work hard for the frown lines) +swallowing things that displease him down till he explodes (i mean... 2 and a half years on zukos ship, and he got in nearly handsy fights with zuko just recently and the threat of trowing zuko over board began in the storm episode. This man seems to have some patience of steal!) +compassionate looking out for other (like the crew is on his concern obviously! but also after iroh airing out zukos dirty laundry and jee maybe feeling kind of bad things got better) +very reliable (like seriously... without jee zuko and iroh would have stranded on an abandoned isle...) +artistic (-inserts image of him playing the pipa to rest my case-)

this is now dipping into me personally flashing jee out more.

i do think he judges people silently and has a thing for gossip. he doesn't partake in it or spread it but when the crew is like gossiping he is like pretending to work and all ears, on the side. also thinks his own part in his head. (and he so hates it when he catches himself being judgy at iroh not taking things serious and he has then to agree to zuko shouting his lungs out)

is very superstitious and in a way the atla equivalent religious. BUT due to him likely coming from a simple fishers' family on a remote isle and now being a sailor, i think most of his prayer are curiously towards the ocean or moon spirit and not to the sun. he is on water, you have to respect them! also who know what kind of encounters he had following zukos avatar hunting. better be safe and invest in a talisman. (just as an example... if jee were on zhaos ship when zhao just casually says "i intend to remove the moon" jee would have just punched him off the bridge. Like you don't fuck with that suff. one moment, zhao is there. the next there is a splash and jee realizes what he did. this is me wishful thinking here)

secretly a vary romantic guy. like he doesn't have his port romances. sure, he visits brothel sometimes. but private at night he wishes for someone to call his own who he can sail the world with and play his song on the pipa and just be happy. is this poor man asking to much? on this topic, sorry to any future lovers. ocean comes first human second. (does jee know more songs about the ocean or songs about love? HA, this question is a trap! because all his love songs are for the ocean! and all his ocean songs involve love)

he does not do meditation but he does.... have his ritural of chilling with some fire whiskey and a pipe to smoke and watch the sunset or the stars. or the sunrise. one of the three. better not desturbe him. he gets really grumpy when he runs out of tabacco and fire whiskey though. well in emergency he hides in his cabin and plays the pipa til he feels more aligned with his inner self. but playing pipa motivates iroh to music night and the prince than stomping and shouting no so.... jee: i can't have some fucking peace and quiet here on this ship...

also summing up. i do think he punched more his own kind rather than others. has many tattoos. secretly closed in gay. tradition is of importance. when he gets a task he commits to it and exells even though he thinks he does the bare minimum.

also he totally survived the siege in the north and is just chilling in an EK village living finally the life he deserves! oh while i have your attention here some fan fiction with him in that i really like! (i mean i am biased, maybe because one or two got written for me or inspired by me. but genuinely amazing writers, all of them!

there are more fics where i like jee in it, but he doesn't have a huge role from the start or at lest not much focus is on him. but these are like three where i really like how the writers flashed him out! now quick someone send me an ask about chit sang so i can trow the ball back to kath!

serious question, but how would you describe jee- personality wise?

i trust u - 🍓

this is a very funny question and also one that i think.....a certain lovely mutual may be more equipped to answer....in fact i am going to volley this to @chiptrillino to see if she may be of better use here lmfao
