Oh I Need To See More About My Fire Nations Royal Family, Mai And Zuko As Parents And Cutie Baby Izumi

Oh I need to see more about my Fire Nation’s Royal Family, Mai and Zuko as Parents and Cutie baby Izumi 🥹♥️✨

thinking about a scene where 3-5 y.o. izumi sneaks to her father's study and climbs on his lap. zuko, not taking his eyes from the scrolls in front of him, settles his baby on his lap and gives her a piece of blank paper, a pen and ink, so izumi can draw while he's reading. but after a few moments, bored izumi tugs his robes and gives him adorable eyes and pleads, "can you draw me a dragon?"

zuko sighs, "sure" and postpones his papers. he draws something similar to a dragon's head and asks, "what does this dragon have?" izumi screams, "eyes!", so he draws eyes. zuko asks, "what else?" and izumi replies, "nose!", so zuko draws dragon's nostrils.

after every "what else?" he draws dragon's eyes, body, legs, wings and a big tail, scales and claws, fire that their dragon breathes. when it's finished, izumi claps her tiny hands and begs, "please, please, please dada, draw a turtleduck!"

zuko draws a turtleduck, a koala-sheep, an ostrich-horse, every animal izumi asks him about. zuko completely forgets about his work. they draw until mai catches them and pretends irritated because "oh, agni! zuko! you were supposed to look through the papers for tomorrow's meeting!"

Zuko had anxiety attacks at that time, thanks Aang.😭

once little izumi says to zuko she wants to see grandpa and zuko is like, "sure, we can go see grandpa iroh." but izumi replies, "not that grandpa!" and zuko says, "oh, you mean grandpa ikem", but izumi says "no!", and zuko thinks with a horror that his daughter wants to see ozai, until izumi grins proudly and says, "i want to see grandpa aang!!!"

(aang taught her this)

(zuko was really irritated)

Happy Mother's Day ❤️️

Here are some headcanons about Mai & Izumi: 

Teen Mai thought she would never ever have a child. No, thank you. She doesn’t need that wrinkled, loud, troubled little human whom she should deliver right from her body. No, not a chance.

Adult Mai thought Izumi is the best thing that happened in her life.

Mai’s heart always melted when she hugged her baby daughter, or kissed her, or simply saw her playing around.

Mai always stayed late at night with all her work. When Izumi couldn’t sleep without her mom, she had been sneaking in Mai’s study, climbed on her lap or tugged her dress by her tiny fingers until Mai had looked at her. And then Izumi was giving Mai her best adorable eyes. Mai never couldn’t refuse. When Mai had been holding Izumi’s little soft hand and kissed her forehead while her daughter drifted off, Mai couldn’t help but think if she gives to Izumi enough attention.

Mai always preferred Izumi over her duties or anything else in the world.

Before Izumi’s birth Mai tried to read all those books and scrolls with advice on how to be a good mother. Later she realized that this was not going to make her one. When nervous Izumi despite bitten lips and trembled hands shared with Mai her problems and secrets, knowing that she can trust to her mom, Mai guessed that perhaps Izumi’s trust could determine much more than those stupid scrolls.

Mai always made Izumi’s hair. That was a long period when Izumi asked to make her only two hair-buns, and Mai always secretly smiled seeing that little copy of herself running through the palace halls.

Mai kept all Izumi’s drawings and presents in her desk.

Mai liked to sing lullabies to her little girl. And when teen/adult Izumi suddenly remembers some words from “that one about dragon’s princess”, that always warms Mai’s heart.

They always laughed when Izumi mimicked Mai’s lines. “I’m bored.”/ “Finally something to do.” / “I don’t need any protection.”

It took a while to convince teen Izumi she is beautiful the way she is, and not her glasses, or sharp chin, or skinny body are not defining her beauty.

It was even harder to convince teen Izumi that she’s not a failure and they are very proud of her even when she cannot understand some diplomatic cases at fire lord’s political meetings. 

Izumi always took mother’s side in fights with father, even when Mai was wrong. That started when Izumi was little and suddenly heard parents arguing, she stood between them and very seriously pointed her tiny finger at Zuko, saying “Don’t scream at mom!” They started laughing.

From that moment Zuko joked that Izumi was the only one who’s ‘protection’ Mai ever accepted.

Zuko always spoiled Izumi a bit, and Mai was rather a strict one… and that never stopped Izumi from thinking that her mom is the best mom.

They had happy times, they had rough times, but Mai always tried to hold this special mother-daughter connection with Izumi, knowing that no matter what, she would never forgive herself if Izumi only once doesn’t feel her love and support. 

My love~
