#the actor must look perpetually hangry

[atlaculture]

I loved your face inspiration post for Mai. In that post I think it was implied you had a post about asian beauty standards? Where would I be able to find that (also if you haven't can we get a Zuko face inspo)?

The Asian beauty standard post and the Zuko post are one and the same, haha.

It wasn't a very in-depth analysis. Basically, Zuko's face is technically very in-line with modern beauty standards for men in East Asia. He's got the high nose bridge, v-shaped jaw, and pale skin. However, since he spends a good chunk of the show stressed out and underfed, his face is also a lot more gaunt and tired than your typical Asian pretty boy. It's just hard to find a male Asian actor or model whose face is as angry and bony as Zuko's.

So far, the closest I've found is Ryusei Yokohama.
