'ugly' sweater zuko for @paddington-two [id in alt]

redraw of a very old zukka from 2021!

[beachytablecloth]

having a lot of thoughts about a career day type situation at izumi’s school and she begs both her dads to come, and like, they can’t say no to her so they go. and all the other parents go up and talk about what they do for a living but everyone the whole time is like um. the freaking firelord and his genius husband are here. like. wtf.

and then it’s their turn and izumi introduces them and sokka, who you’d think might be a bit nervous because public speaking isn’t really his Thing, does amazing, and all the little kids are enthralled hearing about all his inventions and the cool shit he gets up to every day, and he infodumps like crazy but the kids eat it right up. like to them (and they are 100% correct for this), he is the coolest guy on the planet

and then zuko goes, and you’d think he’d be fine. he gives speeches all the time. he argues with councilmen and ambassadors on a daily basis and is highly respected. but something about the twenty 5 year old’s staring expectantly up at him completely rattles him, and he just heard sokka going on about all his inventions, and he gets all flustered and somehow talks about idk taxes or something for like five minutes straight, and the kids are like wow the firelord is the most boring person alive

idk something hilarious to me about that

Zuko wakes up covered in turtleducks a few times a week actually

[fanfic-gremlin-ft-trauma]

everyone smooch the firelord !!!

I think we're sleeping on the idea of Sokka getting to be a stage mom during the summers when they take Izumi to Ember Island where she auditions for the Ember Island Players' summer show

Zukka as dads means everything to me I'm crying

Zuko being a way better father than his own ever was?? Breaking the cycle?? Holding their little face gently instead of burning them. Sokka being there for his kid?? I love Hakoda, don't get me wrong, but him leaving his children for war messed them up so much and man... Sokka being a father who'd be able to love and hold his kid everyday. I just think they're neat.

zukka dads where one day zuko is watching sokka cuddle baby izumi in the warm rays of morning and he starts crying. when sokka asks why, he says, “i don’t know. i feel like im grieving something i didn’t even have.”

sokka doesn’t respond. he just invites zuko to cuddle with them.

[joodeegemstone]

sokka has always intentionally made dad jokes. zuko absorbed the habit by osmosis.

I just think everyone in the palace should call Izumi “their little superstar” while she’s growing up, that’s all

[dickpuncher420]

i rlly like the idea that druk is this rlly grumpy and standoffish dragon, like those cats that will show affection by chilling in the same room as you but will growl if you try to pet them. and both zuko and sokka have accepted this over the years, they know that druk loves them in his own way but generally prefers to do his own thing. it’s fine, it’s just his personality, you can’t change his nature.

but then izumi is born and druk Will Not Leave Her Side. 9 times out of 10 you can find druk curled up into bed with her, carefully arranging himself so as not to crush her tiny body. zuko goes to wake her up in the mornings and druk just growls at him and refuses to let him get close to her. he shadows her everywhere she goes. he lets her use him as a support when she’s learning how to walk. she’ll yank at his whiskers and play with his beard and he won’t even bat an eye, when other people have had their eyebrows burned off for lesser offences.

zuko refuses to admit that he’s jealous of his own daughter. sokka just laughs and says that he should’ve listened to him and gotten a polarbear-dog instead.

last year for my birthday i drew cozy zuko so this year i decided to amp it up a notch

[ID: A drawing of Sokka, Zuko, baby Izumi, and Momo from Avatar: The Last Airbender. They are sleeping in a pile, with Izumi between Zuko and Sokka. Momo is curled against Izumi, who is smiling pleasantly. Zuko is wearing a betrothal necklace, and Sokka is splayed out with his arm over Zuko’s chest, and he’s drooling onto the pillow. /End ID.]

[zukkaart]

Zuko: Izumi what do you have?!

Izumi: A knife!

Zuko: no!

Sokka: They grow up so fast

love to last a lifetime

look I am very passionate about Sokka adopting Izumi and being a fantastic father, which I haven't seen a lot of and I am happy to take on the task

Thanks @lizardlicks for tagging me in!

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).

Zuko watched her and his heart felt broken open and overflowing with love for her and love he’d never been able to give himself at her age. “You’re the prettiest girl,” He said, and fuck anybody who didn’t agree.

I see @sulkybender was already tagged (one day I'll be quick enough!), but @averagemartian, @drowthelynes, wanna play?
