#once around the sun

[izzymatic-art]

It's nice that I got back into ATLA and zutara right before zutara months happened.

I read Once Around the Sun by Eleventy7 on ao3 and was blown away by how good it was. I wanted to create almost like a comic book cover for events in the story.

Sometimes I read a Zutara fic classic and I want to scream “WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS, THIS IS SO UNDERRATED” even though it’s on like a million rec lists and everyone has already read it??? Like nobody told me Once Around The Sun or Southern Lights are THIS good, even though EVERYONE said they’re good, does that make sense. I didn’t know they’d give me book hangovers and possibly change my brain chemistry

highly disappointed that no one brought up THEE Zuatara fanfic EVER!!!

not exactly katara gets separated from the gaang in book 2 vibes but zutara field trip through the EK post canon with exactly this sort of quibbling??? AND THE ROMANCE IS SO BELIEVABLE????? AND THE WRITING IS BEAUTIFUL????????

Once Around the Sun by eleventy7

YOU HAVE READ NOTHING IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS FIC!!!!

Book 2 au with Zuko and Katara Lee and Huamei

Katara is separated from her friends, and so she's left to travel the earth kingdom on her own. She stumbles across Zuko, who is similarly travelling on his own. They decide that pairing up and travelling together would be best

Moon also requires his mandatory hugs, but he’s a little more insistent and needy about it. Luckily, you have a good rebreather, because he’s probably gonna keep you wrapped up for awhile…

Head canon that the sun is brighter in Auradon than it is in Wonderland and Red is already light sensitive so everyone thinks that Red is just generally pis*ed with everyone cause she’s always squinting so she looks angry (This Makes Chloe anxious cause she thinks Red is upset with her). Then there’s this incident where the sun gets so bright and Red starts tearing up cause her eyes hurt and Chloe thinks Red is crying and she panics and tries to comfort Red but then Red finally explains to her that the sun just hurts so much like “oh my rabbits, Chloe why does the sun shine here almost as bright as you” and Chloe of course is like seriously flustered and flattered by the sweetest thing that’s ever come out of Red. However Chloe is not just going to let her girlfriend suffer so that incident Red is gifted these weird shaped color tinted glasses by Chloe and Red doesn’t understand until she puts them on and then immediately hugs Chloe because the sun is “no longer attacking her”.

She never goes outside without them as she becomes seriously attached to anything Chloe gives her but overtime gains a mass collection of them because Chloe can’t help but buying Red a pair every time she sees one that she thinks Red will like. Chloe thinks this will make Red have more variability.

It does not. Red makes sure to wear all of them but clearly the first one is her favorite because it’s one of the first few gifts Chloe gave her. Red also always takes multiple of them with her whenever she leaves their dorm, because she wants to make sure Chloe knows she cherishes everything Chloe gives.

It doesn’t take a while for it to click to Chloe that Red didn’t get many gifts or really any at all during her childhood. But once Chloe figures it out she makes it her life goal to gift something to Red often to make sure her girlfriend can have nice stuff.

Once again I try to perfect how I color (and draw) these boyos. I swear I can't commit for shit, I change up their colors from drawing to drawing and am still not satisfied BUT I'll try and see how long these palettes last (the smaller versions are the previous color schemes btw)

Either way, I still think they look good in this doodle, enjoy!

@homestuckss pinch hit for @topfsecret !!

Reluctant face of the Alternian revolution Karkat is NOT quite used to having an entire security detail yet, and isn't sure why they're all dressed like sci fi adventure movie characters??

to which I would say, if you're gonna be planning an underground revolution against a spacefaring despot why WOULDN'T you dress for the occasion. c'mon.
