All 12. I Just Need Time To Do The Actual Calendar Bit But It’s Almost Done And Will Be Up On My Ko-fi

Hc that the gaang have a monthly game night and whenever Zuko and Aang are on the same team they always lose cause they refuse to cheat (Aang is just too honest and couldn’t get away with it if he tried and Zuko is against it on principal because of honour or whatever)

Everyone else though will cheat like the point of the game is to see who can get away with it the longest. I’m talking secret hand gestures and code phrases and if I scratch my cheek it means this and they are all exceptionally good at it. Katara wasn’t on board at first, but all it took was Toph saying, “yeah you probably wouldn’t be very good at it anyway” to get her to play outside the rules. Sokka and Katara kick everyone’s ass when they play together cause Sokka’s tactical brain, Katara’s competitiveness, and their weird sibling intuition make them a fantastic cheating team

Azula: BEHOLD, the field in which I grow my fucks! Lay thine eyes upon it, and thou shalt see that it is barren!

This is Zuko's first sword fighting lesson, change my mind!

Aka tiny "let me be good at something Azula isn't" Zuzu making his Mom proud and driving Master Piandao crazy.

what is wrong with him

i had the most MESSED UP idea last night where joel gets bit, but instead of attacking ellie he just gets like, ferally protective of her. (More than usual, i mean)

(Maybe this is because of her weird fungal variant, maybe because their love is ONE IN A MILLION or maybe some combination of the two idk)

Like ellie SOMEHOW got all his weapons from him before he could off himself, because she just couldnt watch him do that. Cordyceps!joel coming towards her, and she’s holding her knife up between them, sobbing because SHE CANT DO IT she cant hurt him, but he just pushes the knife aside and grabs her arm, inspecting her bite marks, sniffing her all the way up her arm to her neck to her head, then gathers her up in his arms under his chin. She can feel his lips on her hair, can hear him grunting in a strange rhythmic way, almost like he’s trying to hum. Eventually she feels something other than his lips on her head, realizes it’s the fungal tendrils coming from his mouth.

cordyceps!joel brings her dead deer and rabbits, destroys any infected who threaten her, cradles her like a baby when he can tell that she’s upset. When they come near humans, he heeds her when she makes him hide and not attack. (Except when the humans are raiders, she lets joel eat those.)

on the nights it’s so cold she needs a fire, cordyceps!joel sits 20 feet behind her, grumbling, until ellie yells at him to be quiet. (he is NOT a fan of the fire)

Joel eventually becoming a clicker. She leads him by the hand through the wilderness, learns to communicate with him by clicking just as much as talking. She finds herself in front of a mirror one day in an old cabin looking for supplies, and doesnt recognize herself. If anyone saw her they’d assume she was infected without a second thought.

Oh god HOW DOES IT END does he finally get taken down by a bullet, ellie holding him as he chokes on his own blood, soothing him with her voice because he doesnt even understand what’s happening??? Does she finally put him down, knowing joel is long gone and he wouldnt want to live like this?? do they continue on like that forever, until ellie’s forgotten how to speak? OH ITS TERRIBLE someone take it away from me

Darius: Alright, listen up, you little shits. *Stops and looks at the small group of rebels* Not you, Hunter. You’re an angel and we’re thrilled to have you here.

Hunter: *Blinking in surprise, but just happy to be safe.*

Raine and The Catts: *Looking at Darius, because even though they’re thrilled to have Hunter here, they know very well that he is not an angel, and that he also bites when he feels threatened.*

Eber: *On Darius shoulder nodding happily in agreement. Despite knowing that Hunter’s not an angel, and knowing that he’s the one who taught Hunter how to bite when he feels threatened.*

post-war camping trip, the gaang leaves zuko alone for an hour and he forms a menagerie

zoom for detail!

Oddly specific TLOU AU idea:

No outbreak AU where Sarah and Ellie are sisters and Joel's their dad. Sarah does soccer and Ellie does ballet (to everyone's surprise, she's pretty good). Except whenever Joel tells people that one of his daughters dances and the other one plays soccer they think it's the other way around. Just bc I think that could be fucking hilarious.

Bonus: Ellie and Dina meeting at dance :)

Katara: I’m getting worried about how many nightmares you’ve been having.

Zuko: It’s okay. My nightmares are usually about losing you, but I’m okay once I realize you’re here.

chena going from ‘i’ll break his legs’ to ‘you should have dragged him if it meant bringing him back to us’ is making me emotional and idk why
