Why His Eye Was Red

why his eye was red

hair envy.

new group friend

well, I would like to say that this is a new group friend if Raafa ever makes the newest one. funny enough that it fills with an undead, a clown? (I still dont know what Trickster are) and an exorcist

in order

@vandervamp - Havran

@elderdeityofthestars - Quinn Durand

@boiling-potato - Trickster

they can't replace the old one but this one would give color in Raafa's unexpected life XD

I know im very very late to share my art about these two ever since I'm entering the fandom. I've been playing Arcana since the pandemic but never post my beloved wife with her husband because I lack the skill to draw Nadia but always think about them (I just draw them on paper and digital sometimes but not really good ones). Im going back to my roots where everything begins. maybe in the future, I will draw them more because I still love them and I always want to write a story about them, I will draw them more because now I have enough skill to draw Nadia even when it still does not look like her.

Ps. Raafa and Nadia always have a distant relationship because of their respective responsibilities. Raafa was still a prince and had duty in Han Guo while Nadia had duty in Vesuvia.

Some might said that Ursa did abuse Azula in emotional way like emotional neglect. (This is from other person post not mine) but I don't know if it was abusive or not because I'm not doing research for that part.

Yeah I do agree, that it is bad part of Ursa that she didn't showed love that Azula need bacuse Azula is special case, people need more patience to explain that was wrong to her but for most of the time Azula always get this scolding for most of the time in flashback (maybe we can assume that Azula did get scold from Ursa most of her childhood and Ursa didn't showed much love toward her, leaving Azula to feel that Ursa didn't love her because of what Ursa did to her). Ursa lack of patience for Azula was well bad, like if she can be patience with Zuko why not with Azula? This would lead Azula to cling more to Ozai who is supportive about Azula behaviour, and I think Ozai did make Azula relationship with Ursa became more worse (I think)

But yeah being bad parent doesn't mean she was abusive but again I don't know so I would just say she was a bad parent to Azula but not to Zuko. In show we didn't get much from Azula perspective leaving it to be mystery, she didn't get flashbacks like Zuko did. The ironic part of the show where Azula hallucinate about her mother was well something for me. We can get the point of Azula did know that her mother do love her but she was in denials to admit that. Or it was just what Azula want to hear about her mother saying that she indeed love her even when she knows that Ursa didn't show it that she love her or actually don't love her at all.

And for the comic I don't really see it as canon because of what they did to Azula and jeez the plot was kinda, well, I would say bad. It's not like my liking at all. And the sudden change of background for Ursa was well not my liking either. I don't really remember the comic much because I speed run it, for me it would make sense if Ursa was noble lady and not commoner remembering who is Roku in the past. Like what was the point of Ozai married commoner anyway? I don't remember it and if you do you can pointing out. Overall I would taking show perspective for most of the time.

Ursa didn't love Azula

And if she did she never showed it properly which... for a child is felt the same as not being loved at all. I can understand especially in the context of the abusive domestic situation their family was in that it was difficult for Ursa to properly parent both her children, but it's not a stretch to say that Ursa saw too much of Ozai in Azula, and she sure as hell didnt love Ozai lol

Hi! I keep seeing hanfu robes with just one shoulder, usually for men. What's up with that? Is it a thing that actually existed?

Hi, thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply! 

Yes, the style of wearing hanfu robes with just one shoulder for men existed historically, during the Tang dynasty. As @beehunni62 wrote in this post: 

The specific trend of hanfu worn here was one used during the Tang Dynasty, specifically for archery and/or horse riding. It’s composed of a white silk round collar undershirt 圆领汗衫中衣, a jacket called a banbi 半臂, and a round collar robe 圓領袍.

The sleeve pertaining to the arm of the dominant hand was removed from the shoulder and tucked under the belt to allow for maximum mobility and comfort while shooting arrows or horse riding.

The trend created the opportunity for two or more different fabrics to be placed side by side showcasing an aesthetic contrast.

Please check out the post for a more detailed explanation with images.

Hope this helps! ^^
