To the non-maikos it’s always: mai and zuko boring. mai and zuko no passion. maiko only based on logistics. people only like maiko bc it’s canon.
To me it’s: mai and zuko share a cultural background which helps them empathize with each other. mai and zuko have a deep understanding about how the other was raised. mai and zuko take comfort in each other because of that. mai and zuko fit like puzzle pieces. mai calm and is his peace. zuko passionate and brings out her inner fire. mai and zuko are each others safe spaces. mai and zuko both made mistakes during the war and need to grow from it. mai and zuko have Fire nation roots and therefore have experiences that help them envision a better nation. mai and zuko team.
azula is a maiko shipper prove me wrong
commission for @mai-fruit-tarts
AGGHHHH IM ADDICTED TO THEM
i got commissioned to draw my beautiful parents ☆ commissions info here! ☆
so tired of people rushing their relationship. they’re getting back together either way and it’s best for mai and zuko to take their time.
Ashes of the Academy is on point about Mai and Zuko not being back together yet mostly because the comic takes place around a year after Smoke and Shadow. And the writer of Smoke and Shadow did say they will get together again after three years after Smoke and Shadow right? that means 2 years after Ashes of the Academy. I personally loved seeing Mai's development and her chosen career for the future. It sounds cute being Izumi's teacher at the academy and teasing her.
I do want a comic about them getting back together though. Maybe if there is a Zuko movie? or comic it doesn't matter. they do need to conclude the Fire Nation and Azula's arc.
zuko making up for his past mistakes in his relationship with mai. everything is basically set for them to begin their relationship again after a while and y’all say they won’t be endgame 🤦♀️
well, Ashes of The Academy was such a nice read. this part in particular stayed with me because it reminded me of their argument during the Beach episode and looked at them now learning to trust and resolve their disagreements in a healthy way 😚
Of course, this is the generation that will lead the Fire Nation down a better path.
Now I wish we had more of this. a whole series of Mai continuing to find her purpose. Starting first with teaching and then perhaps other aspects of Fire Nation society too.
the last but no the least alta power couple, completing the series ~
love them all 💚💙🧡
Welp we're definitely getting more fire nation food in the future 😂 they are cooking something with Azula, Ty Lee, Mai and Zuko.
People really try and say Katara is Izumi’s mom like honey?? That baby looks nothing like Katara??? Someone got Zuko pregnant and I know for a fact it wasn’t Katara
They don't necessarily say Katara is the mom, but they try to go "Oh, Maiko broke up in the comics, so Mai can't possibly be the mom" even though Izumi literally has the same face.
It's a blatant attempt at downplaying the fact that Zuko chose Mai over Katara or whoever they ship him with.
And let me be clear, I don't mind people just using the character of Izumi, or at least the name, in fics and making her the child of Zuko with some other woman, I do that too. The problem is the blatant denial of reality.
She's a Maiko baby. Plain and simple.
zutara runnn for your life…
this power couple
Mai really said "I stand with my cancelled husband"
i fucking hate him loll
Zuko has far more restraint than I do.
Because if I was Fire Lord, and this son of a bitch was rubbing it in my face that he was with my ex ... that's an instant Agni-Kai ... or a public execution.
my gosh im so excited im gonna piss my pants ok
Happy Ashes of the Academy Eve to all who celebrate
i cant wait to see my favorite divorced couple get back together for the kids
I’d marry you with paper rings
Don’t be ridiculous I’m buying you a diamond
AAAGHHHH
ok, so we all know that mai is the most apathetic character in atla. conquering ba sing se for her is nothing (“just take the bear”), “victory is boring”, colorfulness “making her nauseous”.
she always complains about how bored she is, hates almost everything/everyone and nothing/no one can make her smile.
and THEN this ‘emotionless-cold-flat-gloomy-whatever’ girl aka ’the most bored/impassive person in the universe’ cuddles around zuko, chuckles and says that would be IMPRESSIVE if he finds a fruit tart for her.
impressive.
freaking fruit tart.
and she looks at him with such fondness as if he’d already given her the whole world and even more.
if that’s not love, then I don’t know what is.
so sick of “the comics didn’t happen!” “i don’t consider them canon!” grow up omd yeah they weren’t perfect but so fucking what 🤦♀️
Don't play with maiko fans. They..... hate their own ship, apparently?
