Zuko
he's very good at masking about 90% of the time
struggles with social cues sometimes?
he walks a very odd line between missing social cues because autism and being hyperaware of social cues because abuse victim
positive attention is a little foreign to him - people flirt with him all the time and he just barrels right on through
he scripts things out everything. practices random conversations with turtleducks. has entire scrolls of "what to say if..." laying around his room.
unrelated but his customer service voice is ever-present in Official Political Meetings
a fascinating special interest in tea
can and will infodump at the drop of a hat
lots of finger stims (they're small and easy to hide)
facial expressions mean nothing folks
super smooth fabrics bother him
he doesn't really like how fire feels - his own is pretty nice, and aang's is usually okay, but everyone else's is sketchy
hates hates hates the texture of his scar
listen zuko just infodumps a lot
Made this forever ago and found it!
It's based on that pidgin girl meme!
girl (?) talk
drew some fanart from one of my favorite jetko AUs: boarding school! jet and zuko are sneaking some alone time on the school roof after closing hours
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.
Ive been going through the roulette of zuko adoption au’s (he cant catch a break) and I really enjoy Sun Warrior Zuko and Spirit Touched/Agni Zuko fics the most. Then I found one thats basically both(with a dash of dragon!zuko), so heres some art for @aravenwithawritingdesk ‘s Quetzalcóatl
au idea where Zuko comes across Lieutenant Jee at Boiling Rock because once Jee found out about Zhao blowing up Zuko’s ship he actually either abandoned Zhao or straight up turned on him, causing him to be eventually apprehended. He’s happy to see Zuko alive, and actively helps the team escape. He urges Zuko to flee while he stays behind to help Mai.
He’s in the crowd during the coronation and is so proud of Zuko and continues to serve him until he retires and Zuko makes sure he keeps in touch and visits him on Ember Island with Iroh.
WARNING very graphic visual of Lu-Tens last moments. the footage shows, how prince Lu-Ten son of Iroh second in line. has to fight off on his own, two small hatchlings, both enraged by their pray being stolen. and you can clearly see, how his father, the general, dragon of the west crown prince Iroh, JUST SITS ON THE SIDELINES SIPPING HIS TEA AND LAUGHING HIS BELLY OF!
