@hella1975 I’ve always had a soft spot for surrogate dads but a whole SQUAD of surrogate dads???? A great blessing I never knew I needed. Thank you. I just have one request. Please destroy the ponytail I can’t do it, I can’t handle egg head Zuko I’m begging you-
You know how purple is considered a royal color IRL? In a Zutara AU, it earns that reputation because of them.
Zuko and Katara originally just wear robes of red and blue (Katara blue with red accents, Zuko red with blue accents) but over time they start requesting purple pieces of clothing, and are soon wearing lots of purple with some red and blue. Their kids grow up wearing mostly purple, and thus the next few Firelords, all with significant Water Tribe heritage wear purple. Then the Fire Nation transitions to a true democracy and the throne is abolished, and the living family fades into comfortable obscurity. However, by this time several generations grew up with the Firelord wearing purple. With the origins of its use by the throne, purple is soon used as a symbol in fiction for both power and love against all odds.
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)
Luca reminded me of the camp camp trio so I had to draw this (also this is my first time posting to tumblr so hello)
Might draw them again lol idk
What am I saying of course you do.
This ended up being way longer than I intended so I’ll put them under a cut, but let me know if you want more. I think about these two a lot.

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)
I have always been a die-hard Zutara shipper, but someone recommended THIS short fic last week, and now I’ve been on a Zukka binge ever since 😭 Doodled up my favorite scene from mindbending ‘s fic, “A Predictable Story” on AO3 in appreciation for being a great first Zukka experience 💕
