My Favorite Ship Dynamic Is Betrayal. Not When They Betray Each Other But When One Or Both Of Them Turn

Ohmygods Jee in the cooler talking about how it’s nothing compared to the North Pole 😭

And then hearing Zuko get put in the one next to his and immediately thinking ‘must get him out of here’

I love this so much 💜💜💜

oh gosh, really glad you liked the drabble!

And yeah -- all of Zuko’s crew would probably go into “protect child mode”, mostly because they can all remember when zuko was ACTUALLY a child. hell, to lt jee zuko is STILL a child and still needs to be protected n

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

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

Hidden scene idea where, after Azula's defeat, the Fire Sages approach Zuko with a shaving blade. His stomach drops.

'As is customary. The loser shall be shorn of her hair' they say. Zuko snatches the blade and throws it into the grate, into the waters down below. He sneers at them, the effort having exacerbated his pain.

'Customs are changing. Starting here and now. If you get anywhere near my sister, it better be because you've got a doctor with you.'

@bernardo-draws-and-cries had a really big brain idea

Little cape gremlin

Max and Preston are girly scream boyfriends

pass it on

okay you can all blame @frccdomfightcr for this one bc we have this hc where zuko likes make jet laugh with shitty philosophy/psychology pick up lines

edit: apparently tumblr is resizing shit so here’s the dialogue if u can’t read:

zuko: hey jet jet: yeah? zuko: are you lacanian psychology? jet: uh– zuko: because a lot of people don’t understand you, but i do. jet: … jet: PFFHAHAHAOHMYGOD zuko: was that one good? jet: Y-YES!! AHAHAHA

I can imagine Ellie in Jackson making a kid army. Because every little kid think she’s so cool because she survived “the outside” and especially the younger kids have never seen that so they see her as a superhero. And she’s just corrupting every single one of them into annoying the hell out off all the adults.
