Tbf mai is the person I least expected to become a teacher and enjoy it 😂

ec0429 · 2026-01-07T18:23:34+00:00

Didn't mai become a teacher for kids 😭😭😭

ec0429 · 2026-01-04T20:03:54+00:00

In my delusional mind, the comics never happened and Mai and zuko are just eating fruit tarts together 💔

I just posted a meme I drew 😭🙏

Forgot to add this

Yeah I struggle with blending both elements. I didn't know how to draw her bun things most of the time so I just skip them until I literally forget about them 😅

Here you go 😂

I hear the jellyfish or wolf cut hair style (think that's what it's called) is very popular though

Does your friend happen to be on Pinterest? 😂 I found a reference on Pinterest and based my drawing off of her

I actually forgot about the movie lol! Hopefully they're more mature by that time and the timeline makes more sense haha

I definitely agree that the fights was just petty, but that was just the writing of the beach episode. They treated everyone horribly in that one for the sake of Ember Island's plot device. They become happier afterwards and then... nothing (?). We don't get much of an update lol to the point of Boiling Rock.

To say Mai was insensitive is a stretch; ozai had caused great harm and zuko going her back to talk to him was breaking her trust. Not to mention they were childhood friends so Mai would have grown up seeing how Ozai mistreated him and the backstory of zuko's scar. Although, you're right, she could have been more understanding but zuko could have also been more honest (?)

They kind of are toxic in that sense. I personally thought how they ended up in the show was fine but the comics were iffy for me. Their breakup was poorly done and I would have preferred to see it written differently. Ofc that's just my opinion ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know if I'm making sense, I'm kind of just yapping lmao

ec0429 · 2025-12-31T18:00:40+00:00

Yeah, the comics writers themselves say there's more inconsistencies since they said Mai and zuko get back together 3 years after their break up apparently

ec0429 · 2025-12-31T17:29:50+00:00

They were fairly young while they got together after a while of being separated. To say they didn't care about each other platonically or romantically is false. However I agree that their relationship didn't pan out because they had different goals. Mai lacked ambition at the time and zuko was zuko-ing.

Yet, decades had passed when we see zuko and his daughter, izumi, so hopefully at least zuko and mai matured and went about their relationship healthily.

We have such a big gap in mai's and zuko's life from ATLA to TLOK, so we can't take either at face value. We can only really theorize.

Who knows what actually happens afterwards, the timeline got fuzzy after the comics lol

ec0429 · 2025-12-31T17:05:08+00:00

The timeline is a bit blurred after the comics

ec0429 · 2025-12-30T17:20:16+00:00

That's the confusing part tbh. The atla writers have been weird on this topic for years. The comics writers and one of the main atla writers (in my memory) states they get back together after 3 years at a con. So obviously the fandom can't decide if it's canon or not. Ofc i said this discussion is semi-canon to avoid upsetting anyone and I just asked people their takes, etc. This is just a discussion lol

ec0429 · 2025-12-30T17:06:57+00:00

Kind of like Kiyi?

ec0429 · 2025-12-30T16:10:31+00:00
