Zuko And Some Of My Most Prominent Stims,, Enjoye :]

i have. such a soft spot. for the idea of dyslexic ellie. 

kiddo who tried SO FUCKING HARD in school but like. even in modern non-apocalyptic day it’s an issue, and it’s a government orphanage. there are just. not accomodations. 

ellie who has grown up fucking struggling and not really knowing why and just feeling like she’s not as smart as everyone else. and having teachers who just. are not paid enough to either notice or take steps to help her. one of the reasons she LOVES her pun book so much is that it’s split up into easy-to-read little chunks, so she doesn’t struggle as much as she does with books with big paragraphs and a lot of text together. 

also dyslexia can cause problems with orientation/navigation/directions (if i’ve mispoken on this, please do correct me! i’m speaking from having a roommate with dyslexia and googling), which also makes her frustration with the map in the kansas city episode hurt. bb is trying SO FUCKING HARD and her brain literally just CANNOT. and now there’s an adult getting frustrated and irritated with her and boy isn’t THAT familiar. 

and she’s SO fucking nervous about starting school in jackson bc she has such a good thing with joel, but she knows how school is gonna go. she’s gonna go, the teacher will realize she’s stupid, then they’ll tell joel, then joel will know she’s stupid. she pitches a FIT not wanting to go but ends up going anyway bc it’s a hard line for joel. 

and she goes in expecting to get made fun of or written off like fedra and instead her teacher takes her aside after class and gives her a WORD?? for what her brain does?? it’s not?? just her?? and she’s still SO fucking nervous to tell joel later bc great one more way she’s a problem for him to solve. 

and instead joel just fucking goes to talk to her teacher and helps her do some research in the library to find accomodations for her?? what?? joel sitting down with her for her to practice reading with? and not even? getting frustrated with her? 

lil bean just FINALLY getting the acceptance and support she needs to thrive 

Eda: Listen, kid…

Luz: Oh, you can call me Luz

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

anyway i think itd be nice if the whole atla gang was meant to take a month-long reunion friend-reconnection extravaganza trip 15 years after they all settled in their different roles and jobs and parts of the world, but a few days in Problems at their respective jobs/homes/families start popping up that force each of them to leave early one by one until only zuko and sokka are left for weeks alone and it's awkward until it's not so bad until it's actually kinda romantic all of a sudden and just when they start to recognize what's going on, friendos all start coming back, having solved their issues at home and absolutely ready to rejoin the last leg of their reunion vacation together which puts no strain at all on anyone's budding feelings whatsoever

parental caretaker and kid writing prompts

- younger kid standing on their caretaker's shoes and rocking around. almost like they're dancing or waltzing.

- the thing where the caretaker pulls the kid closer to them by like wrapping their hand around their head and covering their ear and tucking them against them.

- kid sitting on caretaker's shoulders. always a good one.

- "shh, shh, I know, I know"

- any sort of "take me instead" situation, said by either character. devastating.

- dealing with sickness. like obviously the kid getting sick and accidentally calling their caretaker mum/dad/parent in their feverish delirium is super cute and top tier.

- BUT ALSO. hear me out. caretaker getting sick but trying to push through to look after their kid and their kid works super hard to make their job easier or look after them in small ways.

- kid hiding for some reason (minor anxiety or major trauma or anything in between) and the caretaker comforting them or trying to coax them out.

- caretaker sweeping kid up in a big ole bear hug and spinning em around.

- kid hiding behind caretaker.

- "you should be in bed" "I can't sleep" "...alright, get over here, you can stay up for five more minutes"

- caretaker and a maybe slightly older kid arguing and making up.

- caretaker picking up slightly older kid from a party that's gone wrong in some way.

- caretaker who's maybe less like a parent and more like an older sibling. they take their kid to abandoned buildings and eat cheap takeaway/takeout with them.

- caretaker teaching their slightly older kid life skills that they maybe didn't have the chance to pick up on when they were younger.

- or yk just caretaker teaching their younger kid life skills. like trying to get them involved with cooking and lifting them up to help grab things and letting them watch things get cut up and prepared.

- caretaker indulging their younger kid in tea parties with their stuffed animals.

- caretaker looking after a kid's comfort items (bonus point if the kid is older, and double bonus points if the kid is too embarrassed to care for their comfort items themselves).

- younger kid curled up by their caretaker while their caretaker plays videogames. bonus points if the caretaker lets them play like baby mode co-op (like luma in mario galaxy). bonus bonus points if the caretaker is like an older sibling and gives the kid an unplugged controller.

- older kid playing co-op with their caretaker and getting way too invested. bonus points if it's mario kart. bonus bonus points if they're showing each other their favourite games from their respective childhoods (because yk different eras).

- caretaker carrying an exhausted kid to bed.

- better yet, the kid pretends to fall asleep in the car so they can be carried inside (caretaker knows their game but is more than happy to carry them).

- caretaker having a hard day working late and coming home to their kid sleeping peacefully on the couch, clearly having waited for them to come home.

- kid having a hard day at school and caretaker is in the middle of making dinner for them.

- caretaker shielding kid from danger with their body.

- kid refusing to leave caretaker's side when they're both in danger.

IM ALIVE!!!! >:D

Haven’t been posting for 3 weeks I’m really sorry, school’s been really busy and finals are coming up :,)

There’s still some prompts from @zutaramonth I haven’t finished so keep working on them in the future, but for now i’ll be doing smaller posts like this

I did mention a while ago that I may start a short series , this is one of the scenes that spawned in my Bren.

Smol description of the scene: (Set in post 100 year war, Azula redemption and Ursa reunion) Handling multiple  assassination attempts and stress of being a Firelord, Zuko gets hardened and slightly unhinged. One time during a peace meeting with the gaang, Iroh, Kuei, Hakoda etc. New Ozai society+ Ozai launched a coup, Zuko got hit once, proceeds to go berserk, and turns out to be really good at lightning bending.

“Look at me Ozai! the failed product! The sentimental weakling! I may be a descendant of Roku, but never forget that I AM YOUR SON!”

while forming this image I listened to a list of songs :)

Princess with an empathic link to her sworn protector but she has severe anxiety so her door keeps getting thrown open and someone in full armor runs in yelling I'LL PROTECT YOU MY LADY, WHERE'S THE DANGER? and she's just got outlook open and there's two (2) emails she needs to reply to
