Hands Down The Best Twitter Story Ever

Today’s interest: Firelord Zuko Headcannons

(With servants)

There’s only like half the staff that the palace should have because Ozai and Azusa fired/killed/mutilated/scared off/etc. the rest

So they’re all trying their hardest to do their jobs and their terrified of messing up in case he’s just like the rest of his family

They know he’s friends with the Avatar but you can never really be sure

At first they all stay out of his way

Then, a group of younger maids see Zuko and Aang feeding the turtle-ducks

Aang pushes Zuko into the pond and the maids are sure he’s going to set the boy on fire

But instead he just laughs and checks to made sure none of the turtle-ducks are hurt

A few days later, the cook walks into the meal hall to see how everyone’s meal is going

Instead he sees the Firelord in a heated debate about theatre with Suki while Aang, Katara, Toph and Sokka are in the middle of a food-fight

The cook makes the mistake of squeaking indignantly at the sight of his hard work all over thirteen year-old faces

When Zuko notices him he quiets the other teenagers down and apologises for the mess, the others quickly following his lead

Over time, the sergeants come to realise that the new Firelord is just a regular child

An eccentric child who owns a third of the entire world, but a child

By the time Zuko turns seventeen, the entire staff has warmed to him, even the new employees who had heard rumours about what Zuko’s predecessers did

He’s genuinely kind to them and interested in their lives in a way that they’d never experienced before, especially not from a noble

Eventually it became normal for Zuko to be found in the kitchen teaching servants how to make good quality tea

Zuko also offered hugs to them

Many of them had lost people to the war, and at first he did it as a way to comfort them

He was stiff and had obviously never done it before but the servants loved that he cared about them enough to step out of his comfort zone

He was also warm and very comfortable once he relaxed

The younger, bolder servants took advantage of this by hugging him whenever they could

At first it was when Zuko was alone, then one servant accidentally hugged him when he was in front of the Gaang

Sokka and Toph thought it was hilarious

Katara and Aang joined the hug

Suki comforted the servant after she freaked out and started crying

When Zuko adopted Druk, the entire staff helped raise him

That point in a piece of fanfiction where you can tell something embarrassing is about to happen so you start fucking around on tumblr because you’re a huge baby with a crippling overabudance of empathy.

Political alignment chart

Can we all agree that despite zuko being 16, he has proven himself more capable and effective in both diplomacy, bending, and hand to hand combat then soldiers that are in their late 20's or more with decades more experience and he just mops the floor with them? Why does no one appreciate this in fics or hell just in context?

Yes, Zuko is intelligent,

an eloquent and inspiring speaker, 

a capable leader,

a skilled firebender. 

and has the Fire Nation’s best interest at heart 

These things are all true. 

however... 

He’s also an awkward dork who practices his speeches by talking to frogs, 

spent a good portion of the show in Existential Crisis Mode, 

and has an unfortunate habit of making impulsive, dumbass decisions that often risk his personal safety. 

He has the range.

So I replaced the music in the big Kral Zera fight sequence and, um, I think it worked a little TOO well

You gotta love that Tumblr is on the rise because of Twitter and Reddit going down, and not because Tumblr has actually done anything to really improve its website.

I personally kin with a website that accidentally and coincidentally fails upwards.

The site that wins simply by remaining upright.
