Read it from the top down! Not across!

That said,

****UPDATED NOTE:Yes, I know that he finally met Toph in 312. PLEASE STOP TELLING ME! I started this in August and uploaded it in October, long before they had met.****The next person who tries to 'correct' me WILL be blocked. I swear, is it REALLY that hard to see this big bold note? WTF?!?!

And yes, I know his shoulders are weird in a few of them, but oh well.


ANYWAY, it's based on [link] which I discovered one day when I came across "Snape Is...", and I was amazed that nobody had done a Zuko one, and I thought it looked like fun, so I decided to give it a shot. And it was fun. Took a while, but it was fun. The hardest thing was figureing out a good list of 9 weird and outragous (but still wicked common) Zuko-centric fanfic/fanart cliches (especially the ships! There are just so many Zuko ships to choose from! I almost did Azuko, but I didn't feel like drawing Azula). And the above is what I came up with. All of the above are valid Zuko cliches that can be found either here or at fanfiction.net.

No offence is meant to anyone who writes/draws any of the above cliches; I enjoy them as much as anyone else does. Character Is is just meant to be fun. Though the over abundant use of the word "wench" in Zuko fics is wicked annoying, and I'll never really understand Toko, but whatever; to each shipper their own.

And yes I've seen The Headband and know that there are traditional Fire Nation dances, but A) they don't seem to be so well known, and B) the kind of dancing people tend to make him do in fics is quite clearly Western/European Ballroom, which makes no sense what so ever (hence the tux).

And that's all I can think to say right now. Ok then. Enjoy.

Note: I have just decided that Pink Fangirl needs a name, so lets call her Mari Su. :)

****AND NOW, LET ME REPEAT:Yes, I know that he finally met Toph in 312. PLEASE STOP TELLING ME! I started this in August and uploaded it in October, long before they had met.****The next person who tries to 'correct' me WILL be blocked. I swear, is it REALLY that hard to see this big bold note?

Avatar (c) and Sokka, Toph, and Zuko (c) belong to Nick and Mike and Brian. The Phantom belongs to Gaston Leroux, Susan Kay, and Andrew Lloyd Webber (but mostly Leroux, even though he died 80 years ago).

This is a very interesting idea and very amusing.
:iconswan-swan:
AWESOMENESS!!!

Unfortunately, the right side does not have its full potential yet....XD....but you did an AWESOME job for this one!

Great work.

The Sora one of these has to be one of the best deviations ever....you have no idea how pumped I was when I saw the title in my inbox....XD

You rule.

When Toph punches Aang, it's called chemistry; when Mai teases Zuko, it's called insensitivity.

Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it. :) I was a little bit afraid that people wouldn't get it (hence the whole long winded explanation).

I'm not sure what you mean by the right side, so I'll assume you mean the right hand column, in which case, yeah, most of those aren't as good. They were the last ones I did, so I was tired and a bit fed up by then. Except for the Sokka one. That one's actually my favorite (other than the first one on the left).

You so rule. XD ...Although I must admit that I've never even heard of fics in which Zuko is the incarnation of Agni. Gotta love the pink Fire Nation-clad fangirl, though. Very cheerleader-y. And some of Zuko's expressions...priceless.

That is awesome! XDXD ....who exactly is Agni? o.o;; If I may ask.

I've seen those things; they're often very funny. XD

Haha, I love Zuko burning the algebra book...it's just amusing. XP

Well, I'm a fangirl too, so he doesn't love me either, alas. :( But, like you said, we'll live (otherwise we'd be a bit pathetic).

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. :)
As for Zuko//Agni, I've read ones where he was posessed by Agni, was himself some sort of fire god/spirit, was decended from Agni, or some combination thereof (and he was all draconic in at least one of them). I just kind of summed it all up. :D I like the pink fangirl too; she was really fun to draw.

:icontempest-in-blue:
The general fanon concensus is that Agni is the main Fire Spirit (kind of like Tui and La), hence "Agni Kai" ( or "fire duel." Also, Angi is a hindu fire god, and Kai is japanese for "meeting" ). No idea if it's actually canon, 'cause I haven't read all the interviews, previous magazines, or trading cards and whatnot, but oh well.

As for Zuko's algebra book, who's never wanted to do that? I know I always wanted to. :) :P

And thanks. I'm glad you like it.
