Mai Atla - Blog Posts

Could you maybe draw some mailee please? I love your style!

Thank you! Here you go Mailee as promised!

First, thanks for following back even if you'd do that in any case. Second, your skills are great at 16 and I'm looking forward to seeing you develop. Third, as a suggestion: how about the Dangerous Ladies in their 40s?

thank you so much and you're welcome! So sorry for the wait I struggled a little with thisnobe but I hope you like it

Here are the girls! I swear I tried so hard but I genuinely cannot draw people over the age of 25 😭😭

It's okay. You can laugh. It's funny.

Would you give us a Mai/zuko fanart? Loved the tyzula first kiss post!

Yuri maiko because drawing men is exhausting

I hope that's okay 😭😭

"I heard you telling someone you'd be partying from dusk till dawn. It's dusk. So we're here 😸"

Ty lee, Mai, Azula and someone

Please for the love of god tell me I'm the first one who thought of this crossover and I actually have an original idea for once

My favorite ATLA Character 😌

Mai

(Yes I don't just watch Naruto)

but what abt yue + the others??

I have plans to do some other characters at some point, I know I want to do Ozai's angels ( Ty lee will probably be Hime Gyaru and Mai will be trad goth, I'm hung up on Azula rn tho) but as for Yue I like the idea of her being some substyle of Lolita, I'm thinking either Hime Lolita or Kimono Lolita! I'll probably also do some miscellaneous side characters like Jet and the freedom fighters at some point

Posted this on tiktok but I think Tumblr will like this more

I'd started to draw this but got pissed that Sokka didn't look right and ended up getting distracted by another project 😭

Maiko core

Maiko core

Ah yes. Me. My boyfriend. And his 500 pound nine foot long baby dragon.

getaway car,,,as a Maizula song,,, Mai joining Azula just to get away from her family and to possibly see zuko again,,,I could go on about this

maizulee + maiko post canon <3

(This is not comics compliant) not seeing enough Mai/Azula or even Mai/Azula/Ty Lee stuff today so take my interpretation of how it would work post canon:

im horrible at getting together stories but ANYWAYS I think mai would be with zuko and she’d also have feelings for Azula so for a while she’d be torn between the two and then she’s like why not both :/ to herself one day so she tells zuko and he’s like you want to date my sister too??? And Mai says something along the lines of ’i have a type’ (i think I’m hilarious)

anyways tyzula would already be established at this point and I think Mai would not confess her feelings, I actually see Azula being the one more likely to confess (or ty Lee ‘accidentally’ lets it slip to Mai lol) but yeah I don’t really have an actual getting together moment planned.

so I headcanon zuko as transmasc nonbinary and personally love adopted!izumi so that happens <3 Azula and ty Lee still like being called her aunts rather than moms but they raise them together. ty lee would teach her chi blocking bc she’s a late bloomer in terms of bending. Mai would teach her to throw knives and izumi thinks its hilarious that she’ll see her mom look super Powerful and Threatening™️ one minute and then the next her mom will just be laying on the couch cuddling her girlfriends and writing a love letter to her husband who’s on a diplomacy trip. azula and zuko teach her fire bending ofc. Sometimes Azula has to take breaks because it triggers memories of her intense training when she was a child, but her family is always there to calm her down 💘

anyways if you have anything to add pls comment or reblog!!! Not enough maizulee content tbh :( I’ll be posting more of them soon.

Mai in Zutara fics: *emotionaly stunned and/or a shitty ex

Mai and Zuko in Zukka fics:

Zuko: I have to tell you something, I'm gay

Mai *looking at Ty Lee*: same

TIL that zuko canonically took mai out on a romantic date to a picnic on the burial site of his ancestors and i think that’s honestly the most on brand thing ever

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.

I'm in my Maiko feels today, and I gotta say: we don't talk enough about the fact that Mai is too shy to say she loves Zuko to his face.

On The Headband she says "I don't hate you." On The Beach she says "I care about you." In the finale she says "I actually... kind of like you." The ONE time she full on says the word LOVE, is at The Boiling Rock, when she's talking to Azula.

She can call him her boyfriend, act flirty, make out at any time, say he ripped her heart out with the break up letter and jokingly "threaten" him to never do it again... but she just can't say "I love you." She literally started blushing when she tried in the finale, and couldn't get the right words out.

It's such a cute little detail. She's not used to expressing how she feels, so she doesn't know how or when she should say it.

She'll 100% just let it slip someday, in some casual conversation. Zuko is gonna stare at her all wide-eyed and happy, and she's just gonna feel her very soul screaming in agony and embarrassement.

Anyone else finds Teashop Lee x Flowershop Mai adorable?

katara: wow, the stars are beautiful tonight.

zuko: yeah, they are.

katara: you want to know who else is beautiful?

*at the same time*

katara: aang

zuko: mai

Mai's Crimes :

Being goth

Sighing

EATING

Having a not good childhood

Talking to a male that is not her boyfriend

Being angry at being wrongfully accused of cheating

Not jumping up and down in glee because her boyfriend gifted her something he picked up from the ground

Poking boyfriend in shoulder

Joking with boyfriend

Being angry at being dumped over text

Allegedly having sex with boyfriend

Not unlearning years of propaganda in five minutes

Joking with boyfriend AGAIN

Not liking when boyfriend yells

Throwing a sheet of paper at boyfriend

Sitting in a pallenquin

Asking for stuff from servants

exactly! mai would not take any risk that could involve endangering the students.

and how is it ooc when there’s nothing from the og source material stating that mai is so obsessed with her weapons she does absolutely everything with them? 😭 no hate whatsoever but it seems like people are just making up headcanons on the spot to find things to complain about since the comics are so easy to attack because of their unpopularity in the atla fandom

mai not having knives because they're "dangerous" is the biggest ooc possible. it's ridiculous. she sleeps with knives, she eats with knives, she works with knives. don't tell me she didn't snuggle a few shurikens under her sleeves and didn't pin some darts to her ankles

If Mai and Zuko don’t get back together and have at least two romantic scenes in the upcoming atla movie of the gaang as adults then what the fuck is the point?

A real atla fan never speaks ill of Katara or Mai

in another life, maybe it was you and me, maybe there we loved each other right
