Description Read it from the top down! Not across!

That said,

****UPDATED NOTE:Yes, I know that he finally met Toph in 312. PLEASE STOP TELLING ME! I started this in August and uploaded it in October, long before they had met.****

And yes, I know his shoulders are weird in a few of them, but oh well.

Anyway, I did this as a response to an old meme called "character is..." which ended long before I found it, but there wasn't a Zuko one, so I decided to do this just for fun.

Avatar (c) and Sokka, Toph, and Zuko (c) belong to Nick and Mike and Brian. The Phantom belongs to Gaston Leroux, Susan Kay, and Andrew Lloyd Webber (but mostly Leroux, even though he died 80 years ago).

LAWL.

..yup, that about sums it up. The hilarity has pretty much robbed me of coherent commenting skills! Though it did trail off a little at the end... would you consider touching up the ending? Shippings are, after all, what most fans laugh at. A lot. (Maybe add some disturbing anecdote about mpreg in there? Seriously, ew. Those fics leave plausibility a LONG way behind.)

Well done! I know something of this scale can't be easy.

Thank you!
I had, by far, the most trouble with the shipping ones. Probably because I did them last and my brain was fried and I wanted to finish. I really like the mpreg idea though.

RaimeiThunderChild In reply to Tempest-in-Blue [2007-10-21 05:50:09 +0000 UTC]

Seriously. The craziest mpreg ever to rape my mind was this one where Jet raped Zuko, and because of him being born at a certain time and therefore related to the sun god, he could somehow be pregnant... and Toph played midwife because she could feel the vibrations of the baby....

...where do people come up with this kind of stuff?!

*Lowers flaming rock-covered fist.* Ok, I'm gonna put my Toko-filled love aside and just comment on the pic.

Nice, really nice.

I think they got the whole "Agni is Zuko" thing from a series called "The Destroyer" in which the main character is, basically, an un-knowing human form of Sheiva The Destroyer.

As far as we all know, with this being the final season, Zuko could die. Sorry to shatter us all, but if could happen.

Ok, now that that little thought is out of my head, I like the pink Ty Lee wanna-be at the end. lol.

Tempest-in-Blue In reply to Juria316 [2007-10-16 01:12:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I am very well aware of the posibility of Zuko's ultimate demise. I all too frequently find myself talking myself out of thinking that he's doomed (becaue, gosh darn it, I still want him to survive and for everything to turn out alright in the end).

I had actually never heard of "The Destroyer," though I had wondered where the Agni/Zuko thing came from, and that is an interesting idea, and worth further investigation. I just figured that it was a derivation of the stories in which he is decended from Agni, which I figured was based on the notions of various ancient monarchies that they were decended from various gods (like the ancient Egyptians, or various Greek or Roman emperors).

And I'm glad you like the pink fangirl.

As for Toko....I just didn't feel like drawing Azuko ( I thought that might be a bit much) and I wanted an excuse to draw Toph, cause I never had.

Juria316 In reply to Tempest-in-Blue [2007-10-16 14:40:34 +0000 UTC]

Of course, Toph rocks. No pun intended. Even though I don't like Zuko at the moment, I pray he sees the light and changes. And it's funny, because I don't really have a religion. lol.

Yeah, the pink fangirl was hilarious. Any chance of seeing her in future works?

To be honest, I hadn't thought about reusing Pink Fangirl since I'm working on other pics right now, but the idea has merit, and we shall see. She was wicked fun to draw.

I can't even imagine anyone turning Zuko into a vampire. I've never encountered that cliche before. How does that even make sense...I wish fanfic writers/artists would stick to CCs and maybe Canon WORLDS, that would probably give their stuff more credit

I've often been amazed at how many Zuko-vamp fics I've found. I've never actually read them, but I see them listed there on fanfiction.net all the time. I don't get it.

what is a wench?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Tempest-in-Blue In reply to Shikamarugirl7 [2007-10-10 01:37:24 +0000 UTC]

As a noun, "wench" is an archaic term used to refer to a young, working class girl or woman, and it implies that she is a slut (with the vague possibility of her being a prostitute). As a verb (still archaic) it refers to a man who frequents prostitutes.

I'm not really sure why so many Zuko-fics involve him calling someone a wench. But, I think the writers who don't know what it means or implies think that it makes them sound smart or that it is somehow a sophisticated insult because it's so archaic.

Shikamarugirl7 In reply to Tempest-in-Blue [2007-10-10 02:24:02 +0000 UTC]

oh cool
hmm I'm not sure they'd use it for that
maybe they think they know what it means by how they see it being used but they don't actually know
I used to do that because i knew people didn't wanna seem stupid and ask, lol

about your avatar
I read something about C.S. Lewis but I'm not sure I'm thinking of the right person but I did read something by that person in the Chicken Soup For Teenage Soul I think, I could be wrong
and...
I think I've seen your work before because of the humans for sale thing, I was only worth like 1.18 mil or something

Tempest-in-Blue In reply to Shikamarugirl7 [2007-10-10 02:48:24 +0000 UTC]

They could use it for that reason too, maybe I'm just pessimistic. But you can tell from the way that some of them use it that they don't really know what it means (it happens with other words too, just really commonly with this one). Or sometimes you can tell that they did look it up, because they did get the dictionary meaning of it, but they're not familiar enough with the word to know what it implies (words are tricky like that. I know this because I am an English major). I just wish more people would ask what words like that mean. There's no shame in not knowing everything. I ask questions and look things up all the time, and I applaud you for having the guts to do the same.

As for C. S. Lewis, I'm not familiar with Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, but I wouldn't be surprised if something he wrote was in there, because he was really good with that kind of stuff. He's actually my favorite author, and a really interesting guy (I've read a number of biographies about him). He wrote the Chronicles of Narnia, Till We Have Faces, The Screwtape Letters, and a lot of other great things. The quote I use is from Mere Christianity.

And hey, $1.8 million is still a lot of money, and you're only, like, 14, right? It probably just said I was worth more because I'm older than you and I'm in college.

I know to ask questions
that's how I caught my friend using a word she didn't know and since I did the same thing I knew her trick

I knew I'd seen his name elsewhere
I'm not much of a reader
the biggest books I've read was the chicken soup ones
and I'm not gonna read one soon cuz I became utterly lazy

that probably does have something to do with it, education
my dream is to go to college
it's a sort of "no matter what I have to do" type thing

Well, I won't pretend that it doesn't take a lot of hard work and some sacrifice, but with the kind of attitude you seem to have, I'm sure you can make it to and through college.

Why didn't you put down, "He doesn't love Katara"? That would make sense to me.

Tempest-in-Blue In reply to AinuPrincess [2007-10-08 20:05:54 +0000 UTC]

Two reasons: 1) because I didn't want to attack huge mainstream ships (which is also why I didn't put that he doesn't love Song or Jin. I only did Toph because I didn't feel like drawing Azula), and 2) because I am a devout Zutara shipper, and hence cannot bare to utter such words (see icon-> ). I don't have anything against Toko though.
