[ID in alt. Click for better quality]
this is kind of a redraw of another redraw, but instead of it being a Banished!Azula AU, it’s a post-canon “Azula works at the Jasmine Dragon” piece. also I could write an essay on why short hair Azula would be SO PERFECT for her redemption arc but I digress.
as always, here’s a comparison of the original drawing, the first redraw, and this redraw all side by side to show my development since 2020. IDs in alt.

Here’s some positivity for lonely littles!
(Image IDs in alt text! Click the images for higher quality!)
It can be hard being a little in a system, especially when you don’t always have someone to help take care of you! Please keep your chin up and stay strong for us. We know how tough it can be to feel lonely, and we hope that soon you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who love and cherish you!
If you’re feeling really lonely, here’s some stuff you can try that might help!
💚 Call or message a friend, caregiver, or someone outside your system who you trust!
💙 Build a pillow fort where you can feel safe. Bring your favorite toys and plushies inside to keep you company!
💜 Distract yourself by coloring a picture, drawing, reading, writing in your journal, watching your favorite show, or playing video games!
💙 Make a card or letter for your friend or caregiver and give it to them when you see or speak to them next!
💚 Play pretend with your toys! Have a tea party or go on an exciting adventure!
Thank you for reading! Or if a caregiver is helping you read this, thank you for listening! We believe in you, we know how kindhearted and brave you are, and we hope that your loneliness ends very soon!

how i write alt text/image descriptions
these are written descriptions of media attached to posts, for those who may be unable to view them (primarily screen reader users, but this is also helpful for when images arent loading, explaining what is happening in an image, and so on), while fairly dauntin startin out its honestly a fairly simple process! :)
alt text can be added by clicking the meatball menu on attached medias (3 horizontally oriented dots, lower right corner of media in post editor), typically these would be a brief summary of the most important aspects of an image. alt text is embedded in the image.
image descriptions (sometimes shortened to id) are written in plain text like a caption. these may be longer/more detailed than alt text. typically, these are formatted with brackets to indicate when descriptions begin and end (i personally preface with "[Image description:" and close with "End description.]")
typically i focus on these 4 elements:
media type
photograph, tweet, art, scoreboard, news headline, etc
important for me as someone who posts photos alongside art to specify this difference because i dont want to be responsible for implying my drawings are reality LOL
other details about the type of media are helpful if relevant, like quality (poorly drawn, run through with jpg artifacting) or stylization (realistic, monochromatic, minimalist, significant color choices)
text
a piece of advice i saw was that you wanna just transcribe all text in an image, this works for stuff like tweets and dialogue
but this is a sports oriented blog, sometimes you will come up on text that is just completely incomprehensible to transcribe. a game clock, any score readings?
i approach it like reading it out loud and instead structuring the information in sentences (the score is this, in favor of this team. probably the one that isnt the sharks LMAO)
subject
usually this means naming players and sharing relevant information about them (are they on opposing teams, is the position they play significant)
action
the whats goin on? again, as a sports oriented blog, this tends to look like a brief play by play. goalie makes this save, player dodges around another player. these guys are kissing nasty again.
this can also include emotion and tone. this person is angry, this action is particularly noteworthy, this situation is funny.
its kinda like takin notes, i only focus on the important stuff! you dont really gotta the avatar of a user, what ad is on the boards, what color is the background for every single image.
when writing your alt text/image, it helps to keep in mind that these are intended to be read out loud. use punctuation, avoid excessive emojis. if something in the original text does something that affects readability, it helps to just type it in plain text and note what stylization is missing.
because its meant to read out loud, you also gotta order your stuff in what makes the most sense. group things in chronological order, what order the viewers supposed to be seein things in. i tend to write things in order of media -> subject -> action -> text myself!
and when in doubt just copy someone else LMAO of course theres always someone smarter than you out there, check out what other peoplere sayin on how to do it if this isnt doin it for you
happy description writing! :) its okay if you are unable to write your own descriptions for any reason, i for one skip some posts just because theyre wayy too much to write out HAHAHAHA
accessibility is a group effort and were all here to help each other out <3
