me and the bad bitches i pulled by being kinda weird cool and mysterious

[wilcze-kudly]

I can't be the only one thinking that while Zuko and Song were having their little talk about scars outside, uncle Iroh and Song's mom were having freaky old people sex?

Also? Zuko x Song? Underrated ship. I think she had a huge impact on him, even if he did his best to ignore it.

She's genuinely adorable!

Do you ship it?

[luftnomadeaang]

old ocs

[atla4art]

i did a tierlist a few days ago but i also wanted rarepairs but not have to put every ship in a category or add categories so here’s ones i actively ship/my otps etc/canon ones

if anyone knows an artist who draws atla (ships) art pls let me know, especially if they also like rarepairs and have made art of rarepairs

i always get so happy i shake and stim but i get so disappointed when i can barely find anything of them, not to mention i crave art of them, not necessarily fics 👀

at the moment i’m craving some tylaang, teoph, mai x june, smellershot, hama x kanna, zhaozai, mako x jinora, ty lee x longshot, jintara, jin x jet, mai x jet, songko, jetzula, maikka, teokka & mako x opal

and possibly some aangji and pemalin

not to mention the other ships that weren’t even on there and the poly ships

(btw azula is a lesbian but jet does fit her, they would just never meet or date)

[allgremlinart]

I moan about how jetko is kind of a rarepair now but like... if I'm being honest no one has it harder than those zuko/earth kingdom girls shippers... they've suffered more than jesus havent they...

[atla-confessions]

i’m an atla (& tlok) fan and i absolutely hate that i rarely see certain ships. it’s annoying as a multi shipper. like give me some good fanart once of less popular pairs and especially rarepairs. i like fics but it lacks visual stimulation, i just need some fanart. just give me some ty laang, aangji, teoaang, teophaang, teo laang, kuzaang, sukitara, harutara, song x katara, jinkotara, jintara, maitara, teokka, teoph, toph x smellerbee, the doph, tysuki, tyazuki, azuki, songko, jetko, yue x zuko, mai x june, maizula, jin x ty lee, azula x june, jinzula, azula x yue, smellershot, hama x kanna, yagoda x kanna, hama x kanna x yagoda, iroh x kanna, hakoda x kya, hakoda x bato x kya, bakoda, piandao x hakoda, ursa x hakoda, jeongdao and xin fu x yu

and then there’s tlok too, i want to see, asami x iroh ii, huan x eska, huan x desna, huan x ikki, opal x eska, mako x jinora, mako x pema, mako x lin, mako x iroh ii, senna x kya, pema x kya, pemalin, tahko, and tahnorra. i mean there’s so many possibilities and i didn’t even name them all, just give me more of it omg

X

[prying-pandora666]

Me: I’m not much of a shipper myself, but I respect all ships and everyone has a right to enjoy them! 💖

Me: Zutara, Toko, Zuki, Jinko, Songko, Jetko, Zukka, Zukaang … all valid!

Me: MaiLee, Maizula, MaiLo, MaiSuki, Maang, MaiOC… also all valid!

Me, after the comics: I don’t care for Maiko…

Ternyata tidak seperti pulang

Bulan lalu aku terbang ke Belanda, ceritanya untuk bulan madu, setelah terakhir kali aku meninggalkan negara itu untuk kembali ke Indonesia di akhir September tahun 2020. Pesawat kami sampai di Schiphol jam 7 pagi. Berjalan menyusuri koridor di bandara yang cukup padat, menunggu koper keluar dari bagasi, dan lanjut berjalan ke tempat kereta.

Hal pertama yang dilakukan adalah top-up OV Chipkaart - kali ini biru dan tak bernama, bukan lagi kartu kuning dengan foto dan nama yang tercetak di sisi satunya. 20 euro dulu karena masih bisa apply joint journey discount ke kartunya Gio - 40%, lumayan. Lalu turun ke peron 5/6 dan menunggu kereta yang akan berhenti di Delft.

Karena kami bawa 2 koper besar, 1 koper kabin, dan 2 personal bag, jadilah kami memilih untuk duduk di kursi lipat persis di sebelah pintu kereta. Perjalanan tak sampai 40 menit. Sepanjang jalan, kiri-kanan rel terhampar padang rumput hijau, langit biru bersih tak berpolusi, satu-dua-tiga turbin angin dan rumah kaca. Silih berganti.

Aku memandangi semuanya, mencoba mencari-cari perasaan di hati ini. Ketika akhirnya kembali lagi ke negara yang penting untuk proses pendewasaanku - dua tahun yang menyenangkan. Aku kira bisa saja aku menangis tersedu, tapi ternyata di luar dugaan, rasanya..... biasa saja. Ternyata, tidak seperti pulang.

Rute tram yang dulu masih dibangun

Ternyata bagiku Belanda hanyalah sebuah negara, dan Delft hanyalah sebuah kota. Mungkin aku sudah melewati fase meromantisasi hal-hal? Tentu saja hanya bukan sekadar hanya - cuma ya ternyata aku tidak serindu itu. Padahal sudah lewat tiga tahun. Rasanya seperti sedang pulang ke Jogja - cuma ya jauh sekali, baru bisa dicapai dengan minimal empat belas jam naik pesawat dan persiapan finansial yang kuat. Haha.

Tapi ya memang aku tahu bahwa yang aku rindukan itu bukan Delft dan Belanda yang berdiri sendiri - tapi Delft periode tahun 2018-2020 yang berisikan teman-teman baikku, orang-orang yang beradaptasi, belajar, saling mengenal, dan juga saling bantu. Fase penting kehidupanku yang sudah berakhir dan sudah lewat. Yang penting bagiku adalah ya, orang-orang itu, teman-temanku itu - tak perlu jumpa di Eropa juga.

Oleh karena itu, sebenarnya salah satu highlight dari perjalanan lintas Eropa 15 hari kemarin itu adalah waktu aku main ke rumahnya Bang Songko dan Kak Bella - ngobrol dan makan malam sama Goban, Iqbal, Puti, Adrian, dan akhirnya ketemu lagi sama Sakhiy juga pertama kali ketemu sama Senna. Tentunya sekalian memperkenalkan Gio juga dong sama mereka.

Orang-orang ini yang penting, bukan dimananya :-)

Honestly, Jin is such an underrated character. She's empathetic, patient, sweet and overall funny - you can SEE how well Zuko works with a character like that. On the other hand I remember Song and that was a really adorable character too. Both girls somewhat brought the best in Zuko, too.

They're both somewhat like Katara rather than what Mai is - and yet they give Zuko a partner whom his relationship just doesn't seem to work. They have no needed depth for such a deep character like Zuko is.

Song was a great character, too. I just think she was a little too precious for Zuko. Jin's personality matches Zuko better, I think. But Song absolutely would have been better for Zuko than Mai. By a lot. Like not even close.

[crashingmeteorz]

post-war ba sing se bimbo headcanons

so zuko becomes the firelord, and jin and jet think it’s hilarious. he’s so good at it. he’s so charismatic. they’re like “who the hell is this guy? when did he get mature and responsible???” and song’s like “when zuko wasn’t doing stupid shit, he was stopping you two from doing stupid shit, i saw this coming a mile away.”

jin joins the kyoshi warriors, and is overwhelmed by all the pretty girls she’s working with, but for the most part it becomes a sisterhood. she will forever and always have a severe crush on suki, however, and really, can you blame her? so when suki reciprocates, jin writes song a four-page essay about it.

anyway, when zuko asks the warriors to come to the capital, obviously jin’s there, too. jet and song show up almost immediately after jin does.

“what, you two are hanging out without us now?” song asks them accusatorily. “it’s not fair that only you get to see jin, zuko.”

“yeah,” jet says. “and i used to see zuko shirtless a few times a week. and i thought i was lucky! now jin’s a kyoshi warrior and she gets to see it every day?”

“she does not!” says zuko. “yeah,” says jin, while shaking her head the opposite.

attempts on zuko’s life are about as common as rain showers, so song starts testing basically everything he eats with some of her chemicals. every time she finds something insidious, she tracks down every link in the chain that got the food to him, and finds a way to rectify the situation. she doesn’t trouble zuko with this, because he’s got enough going on. also, he probably maybe wouldn’t approve of her methods.

(song is not inherently violent, but when it comes to her family, she’s downright vicious).

jet wants to get in on the action, but between song’s disarming sweetness and the kyoshi warrior’s intimidation, zuko’s basically protected. what he isn’t, is good with people.

zuko can make grand dramatic speeches all day long, but when it comes to the council, or local government officials, or merchants, or literally even jet, he’s the same awkward kid jet met on the boat to ba sing se.

“you are never going to make it as firelord.” jet tells him from the couch he’s lounging on while he watches zuko practice a very basic interaction in the mirror.

“okay, fuck you, too.” zuko says miserably.

“sorry, i wasn’t clear,” jet says, standing beside zuko. “you are never going to make it as firelord without me.”

jet tries in vain to get zuko to lie better, to present himself differently, to deceive just a little bit, but it just isn’t happening. zuko doesn’t even want to lie, he doesn’t want to be like his father and azula, so they take a different approach.

instead, jet teaches him how to spot liars, and how to play the game. it’s basic stuff, like let silence linger because they’ll want to fill it if they’re afraid you don’t believe them. ask them bizarre questions so they overcorrect. if they’re complimenting you too much, they’re trying to deceive you.

to jet, it’s survival. to zuko, it’s like a whole world has opened up he never knew about. he hangs on to jet’s every word, and at the end, he asks that jet join him in council meetings, naming him an ambassador from the earth kingdom.

this is how jet discovers that he’s AMAZING at politics. he can’t believe how easy it is. he considers taking it up as a hobby when he gets back to the earth kingdom.

“you can’t do politics as a hobby,” zuko says.

“why not?” jet says. “it’s just fun. it’s not what i’m meant to be doing forever though.”

“do you have a mysterious job back in the earth kingdom none of us know about?” asks jin.

“yes,” says song, irritable from today’s batch of poison discoveries, “he’s working full-time as a little bitch.”

the more meetings jet attends, the more he wonders if politics really is for what he’s meant. arguing and debating delights him and, unlike the exhausted zuko, he leaves the debates feeling energized. but it just feels so bureaucratic, so useless compared to what he did during the war.

he’s so torn about it that he finally asks song for advice.

“i don’t know anything about politics,” she says tiredly. he’s playing idly with her hair after she’s had a long day of Keeping Zuko Alive. “why are you asking me?”

“because you don’t hold back,” jet tells her. “because you let me know when i’ve gone too far.”

song’s glad it’s dark in the lounge, because she can’t believe she’s blushing.

“well,” she says finally. “what would you be in it for?”

“what do you mean?” he says. “i just like it.”

“do you like the attention?” song asks. “are you just interested in the drama of it all? or do you want to make a difference?”

“i want to make a difference,” he says confidently. “i want to help the earth kingdom.”

“well, then, there’s your answer,” song says.

“yeah,” jet agrees. “no politics for me.”

“wait, what?” song asks him, because how did he reach that conclusion?

“it’s just smooth talking and paperwork. it’s not gonna help the earth kingdom,” jet tells her. “i’m not selling out.”

“is that what you think zuko’s doing?” she asks.

“of course not,” jet says, rolling his eyes. “but he’s also the firelord. that’s different.”

“and he’s your best friend,” she reminds him. “and you also happen to be on good terms with the avatar and the leaders of the southern water tribe, so you know you have influential people who will hear you out. if you want to make a difference, this is probably the best way.”

he’s quiet for a while. he almost looks disappointed.

“not every battle is on the battlefield, jet,” song says gently. “it’s not as glamorous, or as dangerous. it’s tedious and difficult and boring. but it’s what’s left, after the war.”

“i guess that’s the thing,” jet says sadly. “i don’t know who i am without the war.”

“i do,” song says with so much sincerity jet almost blushes. almost. he’s still, like, cool.

if they fall into a routine where song fixes his hair into something presentable for council meetings and jet forces her to take a break and enjoy the sunshine once in a while, zuko and jin don’t feel it’s necessary to comment.

for like three days.

“you stole my boyfriend,” zuko accuses song after catching her and jet kissing. the fact that sokka’s napping with his head in zuko’s lap as he says so doesn’t seem to faze him.

“you stole my ostrich horse,” she says, for the last time ever, “so now we’re even.”

“what’s with you and guys with weird facial hair?” jin asks as she stuffs her face with fire flakes, her new favorite treat. “first haru and now jet?”

“haru?” jet squeaks.

“i liked haru’s moustache,” song says thoughtfully. “i thought it made him look mature.”

“at least if jet grew a moustache i’d understand what everyone sees in him,” sokka says sleepily. “no offense.”

“you’re just mad i kissed zuko first,” huffs jet.

jet stops shaving that week. everyone notices.

when song and jet finally prepare to go back to the earth kingdom, jet privately asks zuko if it’s true that he and aang are considering founding a city that unites the nations. zuko tells him it is.

“well, i want in. whenever that is,” he says, and jet and zuko hug.

song and her mother open up a hospital and sanctuary that specifically caters to displaced families. jet reunites with longshot and smellerbee, and they drift around but tend to come back to the sanctuary. they often go out on missions to try and reunite families. it’s not quite fighting, and it’s not quite peace, so it’s a good transition for jet and his freedom fighters.

eventually, things slow down and so does jet. he starts walking around the village they’re located in without his weapons. a child asks song where she got the scars on her leg, and when she explains it was a firebender, the child says “oh, did he get in trouble?” song laughs and laughs, because for the first time in years, there are children who don’t know war.

jin doesn’t stay as a kyoshi warrior forever, but she does decide to settle down on kyoshi. she never really wanted the dangerous life, she just wanted some adventure and sort of stumbled into the chaos of jet and song and zuko. the quiet island is perfect for her. she still stirs up trouble once in a while though.

“COME GET YOUR IDIOT SHE TRIED TO RIDE THE UNAGI.” suki writes in two identical letters, one to jet and song and one to zuko.

“okay, whatever suki tells you, i want you to know she’s lying. i DID ride the unagi and it was SICK. sokka was here recently and said someone invented an image-capture thing is that true? because if it is i want you to bring one and come here ASAP so i can do it AGAIN.” says the fervent letter from jin that arrived three days after suki’s.

jet and song arrive promptly, song laden with medical supplies and a sternly-worded letter from her mother to jin. jet brings a camera.

zuko shows up a few days later with the latest in camera technology and a photographer, as well as his one-year-old daughter. he goes all-out because this is his and izumi’s first trip together. jet grumbles about being one-upped.

“you’re the firelord, you’re gonna encourage this?” song asks him, eyes furious but voice sweet as she plays with izumi. “excuse me, song, but the war is over, i have no jurisdiction here. if an earth kingdom citizen wants to exercise her right to be a dumbass she’s more than welcome to,” says zuko in his most diplomatic voice.

“and,” he adds more gently, “i missed you guys.” song still thinks he’s being ridiculous, but she gives him a big hug anyway.

zuko has to firebend at the unagi to stop it from eating jin and song is left to mend jin’s broken arm. jet takes pictures throughout the entire thing, from her climbing onto the creature, to getting thrown, to being bandaged up and laughs the whole time. song produces a second letter written by her mother which she was instructed only to give to jin in the event she rode the unagi.

all it says in neat hand-writing is, “i told you so. now come home so i can feed you, you ridiculous child.”

“i’m 24,” pouts jin, but since she’s the youngest, the group agrees heartily with song’s mother.

the five of them go to the sanctuary, where iroh is drinking tea with song’s mother and trading stories about their new respective lives.

zuko has to return to the capital in three days, iroh’s got his tea shop to run, and jin isn’t planning on staying long because her “super hot girlfriend is doing something extremely sexy” and she has to get back soon.

“jin, please, just talk normal for once in your life,” zuko begs her, bouncing izumi on his lap. “fine,” she says, “she’s being voted in as the leader of the island and i want to be there for the ceremony.”

jet realizes it’s not often he’ll have all the people he loves in one place, and quietly asks song something important.

they get married the night before zuko and jin leave, in front of jet’s freedom fighters and song’s mother and iroh. jin and zuko stand as their maid of honor and best man. zuko cries.

for the first time in almost two decades, all of them start to feel at peace.

ty so much for this au @azenkii writing about it is one of the most enjoyable experiences haha. is this update softer than usual? yes, of course, it’s what they deserve.

Songko - #19 - “Liar”

She was just cutting up some vegetables for dinner when she heard him shuffle into the house.

But this time it was different… Zuko was being quiet. Too quiet. “Hey Zuko! Where are you?” she called out.

He paused in his escape and peeped his head into the kitchen. “Hi honey. I was just… um. I was just going upstairs to wash up. I’ll be back in just a moment okay?”

Before he could disappear, Song called out again, “Hold on, Zuko. Come here.”

Zuko hesitated for a moment, but he approached her with his hands behind his back.

He was hiding something.

Song playfully raised an eyebrow at Zuko. “What’s behind your back?”

“Nothing,” he replied quickly.

“Liar,” she teased. “Come on, Zuko. What is it?”

“Umm, it’s just something I found, okay?”

“Well, can I see it??”

Zuko sighed, but he held his hands out to Song to reveal the tiny creature sitting in the palm of his hand.

A turtleduck.

“It was lost and alone, so I just wanted to make sure it was safe! I know how to take care of one and it’s important that during these early stages that—”

“—Zuko,” she interrupted, smiling. “It’s okay, honey! I don’t mind if we keep him.”

His eyes grew bright like a little kid. “Really?”

Song let out a small laugh and kissed his cheek. “Really. We should probably name it if he’s gonna stay with us for a while.”

Zuko grinned at her and replied, “I’ll leave the naming up to you, okay?”

“Sounds like a plan.”

R u willing to ship katara and Zuko with anyone other than each other? Like if u had to choose kind of scenario

Full disclosure, outside of Zutara, I'm not much of a shipper, but I guess I do have a couple of alternate pairings that I kind of like.

For Katara: Haru. He's sweet and supportive (if a little bland thanks to his lack of screentime), they connected really well the first time they met, he has a nice family who seems to get along well with Katara, and they were pretty obviously fond of each other. I don't care what she tells Toph, I believe that she had a thing for Haru. And if Haru never shaved off his atrocious mustache, I guess they'd have a pet caterpillar living on his upper lip.

For Zuko: Song or Jin. They both had less screentime than Haru, so I don't have a huge preference as far as which one he'd end up with. They were both sweet, they both tried to connect with him on a deeper level (and if he had met them at a less chaotic point in his life, it might have actually worked), and they both seemed fairly normal, which I think is one of the things Zuko wanted most—a normal life with a loving family. I think Song and Jin would both be great for that, and if their characters were more fleshed out, it might even be interesting (okay, that applies to Katara×Haru too).

For either of them: an OC. I don't actually have any OCs I'd like to see paired with Zuko or Katara, but they were 16 and 14 respectively, and there's an entire world full of people. If someone tries to tell me that Zuko and Katara had both met every single person who would ever be important to them by their mid teens, I'm gonna have to ask how many drugs that person is on. Maybe Zuko meets someone from the rural Fire Nation and falls in love. Maybe Katara has a fling with a swampbender that turns into more than a fling (don't judge, I just think it might be nice for her to have a relationship with someone in the Water Tribes... and since that would mean misogyny in the NWT or... well, nobody in the SWT, I'm going for a swampbender). Maybe they both find someone in the Earth Kingdom. Maybe Zuko finds a swampbender and Katara finds someone in a random Fire Nation village. I don't know. Millions of possibilities, is my point.

The one thing I can say for sure is that I don't particularly care for the idea of them staying with their canon love interests. I mean, if you like those couples, kudos for seeing something in them that I don't, but... eeesh. I don't like the way either couple was done in canon, and while I believe that almost any romantic pairing can be done well, my dislike for their canon portrayals is strong enough that I'm not interested in looking for versions I like better. I'd pair them both up with swampbender OCs before I came down to that (but for the record, Harutara and Songko/Jinko would come way before I made either of them in-laws with Slim the catgator).
