And I Remember When I Met Him, It Was So Clear That He Was The Only One For Me. We Both Knew It, Right

And I remember when I met him, it was so clear that he was the only one for me. We both knew it, right away. And as the years went on, things got more difficult – we were faced with more challenges.I begged him to stay. Try to remember what we had at the beginning. He was charismatic, magnetic, electric and everybody knew it. When he walked in every woman’s head turned, everyone stood up to talk to him. He was like this hybrid, this mix of a man who couldn’t contain himself.I always got the sense that he became torn between being a good person and missing out on all of the opportunities that life could offer a man as magnificent as him. And in that way I… understood him. And I loved him. I loved him, I loved him, I loved him. And I still love him.

I love him.

Mai headcanon time.

I think Mai knows about the asylum Azula went to. Not necessarily the details, but enough to know that it is a very bad place. Ukano and Michi probably told her that's where she would get sent if she acted up. After all, they're the reasons she bottled up all of her emotions and was unable to express herself. So it's not that big of a stretch if the place's reputation for troubled Fire Nation girls is well known to people like Azula.

All the more reason for Mai to clam up and be as stoic as she is. After all, being quiet and sitting still is good behavior. And Azula in the Spirit Temple is pretty blatant about what happens to girls that don't show good behavior...

Reblog if you also think Toph shouldn’t have been a cop.

I want to see how “unpopular” this opinion really is outside cop-worshipping Reddit.

ID: digital full body illustration of Mai and Zuko from Avatar The Last Airbender standing next to each other looking front with original clothing. Mai has dark long hair with bangs and two braids. She’s wearing a white turtleneck shirt, a deep v-necked dark-red robe with gold and white beaded trimming in the chest, wide sleeves and legs reaching her ankles, a shorter reddish-brown skirt open at the front and black boots. Her accesories are long earrings and necklace with a big circular pendant, both in silver and red, a long black belt with silver studs that goes down below her knees and three knives in her left hand. Zuko has loose hair, his signature scar on his left eye, he’s wearing a brownish-pink long sleeved shirt, dark brown trousers with vertical thin lines, and a dark-red sleeveless robe with yellow detailed trimmings, crossing over his chest in a “y” shape reaching his knees. He has black “riding” boots with three small silver studs in the center. His accesories are a black belt with silver buckle, a knife and cloth bag attached, finally he has wide silver bracelets with a fire flame carving. END ID.

as of right now i am writing a lil something to post tonight but i thought of something that I MUST share.

I headcanon Mai to die before Zuko, at around late 50s–early 60s due to an illness so Zuko retired after she passed and Izumi became the Fire Lord about a month later so hear this out:

Izumi's ideals and goals follow her father but her ways follow her mother's.

Mai was (though not entirely) Zukos balance. as ive said before, Zuko lead with passion and heart more than anything but his wife was what stopped him from acting before thinking, who called him out when his decisions were stupid and who he went for advice

Izumi learnt from both of them, not just Zuko, she could see how her mother stoic and cold attitude intimidated people without being afraid, she was intimidating while caring to her people

now as Mai passed, Izumi picked the habit of going to her mother's grave for advice. She goes go Zuko too, but sometimes she just needs her mom

I wanna contribute at least one (1) fic for Maiko Week or else I won't be able to live with myself
