Drew Some Fanart From One Of My Favorite Jetko AUs: Boarding School! Jet And Zuko Are Sneaking Some Alone

If Zuko did join the Gaang in Ba Sing Se, he's here to cheer on the boy bestie, the homiesexual.

Eda: Listen, kid…

Luz: Oh, you can call me Luz

Eda: I’d rather not. If I named you I’d get attached.

silly advisors with their silly questions

Shinsou's cat, on a tree: Me-ow.

Shinsou: Maybe we should throw something at him.

Monoma: Good idea.

Monoma: Midoriya, toss some of your trophies at him.

Monoma: Oh, sorry. Trophy. Just one.

Midoriya: Why don't you toss yours, Monoma?

Monoma: >:(

Midoriya, condescendingly: Oh, that's right.

The fact that Sozin was born the same day as Roku when everyone in that world knew the next avatar after Kyoshi was going to be born in the fire nation makes me a bit suspicious that the royal family may have induced labor for his birth when they learned Kyoshi was close to death.

Basically, I think that the Fire Nation’s royal family was attempting to deliberately have a Fire Lord Avatar.

And the scary part is how close they got.

Happy tlou hbo day :-)

I GOT THE WHOLE TAOB SWT GANG (plus zuko and zi se, unplus katara and sokka. Another time guys <3) ALL DRAWN @hella1975 NFJWKSM. They are definitely not perfect, but I combined a lot of the og show, my imagination of the characters AND the other taob fanart I've seen haha

AND DID ANYBODY EXPECT A TEENAGE ZI SE I SURE DIDNT- I made this up on the spot as I was sketching stuff, don't take any of it really seriously lmao. His clothes are mixed with Fire Nation and Water Tribe because I Said So. the boy is a rascal and we all know it

(And then under the cut is a transparent version of the SWT, and one with notes all over it so I can point out the details I did on purpose lol)

can’t stop thinking about an iroh-and-zuko-never-leave-ba sing se au where zuko, having no other outlet for all his internalized perfectionism and single-minded drive to succeed at something, has no choice but to get really, really intense about the jasmine dragon.   and, perhaps inevitably, ends up mutating into the shouty, hypercritical, detail-oriented manager of every restaurant worker’s nightmares, who is a menace to iroh’s employees and potentially even more passionate about the right way to serve tea than even iroh himself.  

zuko runs the tea shop in the exact same way that he once ran a fire nation navy warship.  he WILL stand there and time you to make sure you’re brewing the oolong EXACTLY the right amount of time and won’t let you strain the chamomile a second too soon.  he insists that the tea blends are all stored according to his current pet organizational system and woe to the poor stock boy who mixes them up.  the store room is organized alphabetically one week and the next the teas are lined up from weakest to to strongest flavor and the week after THAT all the containers are shelved based on brewing time and zuko never bothers to tell the workers when the system is changed.  

the dishes MUST be cleaned according to his scrupulous standards of perfection and he stands over the dishwasher and points out every single smudge left unscrubbed.  zuko has posted a chart with detailed directions for exactly the right way to mop the floors and he WILL fire you for going off course.  the turnover rate at the jasmine dragon is incredible because zuko goes through tea servers faster than emily gilmore goes through maids.  

iroh has created a tea monster and he has NO idea how to stop him.  zuko has shattered a tea pot for no other reason than “it poured too loudly, uncle!!!”  no customer dares send their tea back even if they end up with the wrong order; they’ve all seen zuko take his dao swords out on a tea wholesaler who tried to cheat him.  when zuko says the jasmine dragon is going to be the best tea shop in ba sing se, it’s not a promise, it’s a THREAT.

If Sarah had lived she would’ve been the most polite and kind person Jackson while they were there. And yeah, she would have trained Ellie to use manners

Sarah: Ellie this is my uncle Tommy-

Tommy: and you found her in a trash can?

Sarah: yeah, but I trained her. Watch! Ellie, say hello.

Ellie, extremely pissed: hello mister Tommy thank you for your kindness for Miss Sarah and I.

And then there’s Joel

Tommy: you found this one in the trash can?

Joel, watching Ellie terrorize Jackson: yeah, ain’t she great?

Tommy:

Maria: she’s a demon spawn

Tommy: we love her, Joel.

Cut Fruit 🍎🍓🍈🍊🍑

-

In Asian cultures, one of the most common forms of affection by a parent is to carefully peel and cut fruit. My mom would typically cut apples, but parents will prepare any fruit that’s available. I am loathe to think Iroh wouldn’t do the same for Zuko.

(this is also a nice article that explains the feelings behind it more)
