A concept: me finishing a fanfic before starting out a new one
Person: what’s your kink?
Me: reviews

logical brain: it’s just fanfiction… you’re writing this for fun… it’s okay if it’s not perfect as long as you enjoyed creating it
monkey brain: everything I write must be groundbreaking

Thank you. [3 Will Be Free] is my dearest project, too. We have more runaway thieves and guns this year, but it's going to be a romantic comedy. Wait to watch.
Jojo with FirstKhao and the infamous tattoo video, plus them wanting a romantic comedy and First buffing up for his next character (we think).
Anyway. 2024 Jojo and FK.
His father doesn’t even give him the news of the banishment in person.
No, there’s no last meeting between them, no chance for Zuko to have another memory of the man besides the last vivid sight he sees with his left eye before it’s burned: cold eyes and a hot hand reaching towards his face.
Instead, there’s a letter, a scroll written in red ink and curvy letters his father didn’t even bother to write himself and Zuko can’t read because his remaining working eye is still blurry. In the end, it’s Uncle that reads it out to him, his voice steady even as his hands shake when he tells him the terms of his banishment, the words wavering slightly when he gets to the bittersweet part of the promise of his returning honour- but only if he comes back with the avatar in chains.
Uncle’s voice eventually fades to nothing, giving its place to the distant sound of the sea around them he only then picks up (and isn’t it just cruel, how they didn’t even wait for him to wake up before putting him on a ship and sending him away) and there Zuko is, thirteen with only his Uncle for support and with a task most would deem impossible.
Zuko is a child. He’s scared and in pain and half-blind and half-deaf, but he is also very, very stubborn and doesn’t know when to give up.
He studies. Not just fire styles, but all forms of bendings that there are because he’s going to fight the master of four elements, so wouldn’t it be stupid if he only knows one? He reads waterbending scrolls, goes through katas meant for the rock-hard body of an earthbender; and learns to jump high and take feather light steps that make no sound like a airbender.
He becomes a sort of master in all. He can’t bend the sea or earth or air to his will, but he learns all their moves. Can go from the fluidity of a river to the steadiness of a mountain, and even let his body move with the freedom of the wind. It’s only then, when his flames are free and fluid and steady all at once; and painted in many colors other than the usual reds and oranges, that he starts to master fire too.
Then, he finds the avatar.
Spirits, He’s a kid. Naive and innocent like he was once, long ago before there was a war room and a scar on his face and only a ship in his command. He’s not even a master of four elements but just an airbender.
That’s when it hits him.
It’s a 12 year old the fire nation wants dead, another child his father is going to burn and brand and destroy, and that’s the slap he needs to the face, an ice cold blow against the years old burn of his scar that finally wakes him up, and that’s when zuko decides- he’s going to help the avatar.
he’s going to teach him how to bend but he’s not going to instruct him through just his fire bening- he’s going to help him all three elements he needs to take the firelord down.
(or AU where Zuko was born in the wrong country, because if he was anything but a firebender, he’d have been a genius on par with Azula.
He still might be. His talent just needs another teaching style before it can bloom.)
+++++
idea for a fic I’ll probably not write… so anyone interested?
First and Khaotung share the money they make for individual appearances 😭 Saving up for that house, I guess 😭
I love them so much
Bucky: i hate only one person in the entire world and he’s in this very room right now.
Steve, softly: it’s yourself, isn’t it?
Sam: oh man for a second there i thought you’re gonna say my name!
Bucky:
Bucky: i hate only two people in the enti-
I love the kitty pat post you reblogged so unbelievable much. The one where first had the hand behind khaos back withdraws it and Khao wants him to put it back. Because like First is shaking his head like it's okay but still puts his hand back where Khao wants it!!! And then he wonders why his best friend is spoiled and stubborn, first can't say no to him. Like gosh I adore their friendship so much. I would be heartbroken if another ohmnanon situation ever happens.. (because you mentioned that)
Oh, yes!!! This post by @philologique. It's so stinkin' adorable and a perfect example of how spoiled Khaotung is.
I actually had a slightly longer version of that video saved on my Twitter, so I'll post it below for anyone who's interested. Khaotung complains of his back hurting a lot, so you'll often see First try to correct his posture when they're sitting on stage, but I think this was just a back rub. Truly cat-coded. And in front of a live studio audience too 😂
There’s a witch in the woods that borders the town. Some say that she seduces men and lures them to their deaths, others say that she steals children from their beds and curses their families. She is feared and hated, though none are brave enough to drive her away, fearing her slyness and great power.
There are many names that the towns folk have for the witch, most being quite harsh in nature. But you know her by a different name.
You’ve seen the witch, with her beauty and wit unmatched. You’ve met her many children, and seen their bright smiles. You’ve seen her great power, and witnessed her strength of mind. And yet you have never been given cause to fear her.
Yes, there’s a witch in the woods. You hope shes here to stay.
