Avatar Pride Month

[ID: In the drawing was Iroh, Jeong Jeong, and Piandao in different poses.

At the top of the image, close to the left corner, was Iroh. In deep tones of pink, he presents himself laying on his stomach in an alluring, yet relaxed, manner. He rests himself on a pillow while smiling, looking downwards. And behind the veil curtains—he lied nude.

On the right side, Jeong Jeong is presented sitting with his legs crossed over one another. Looking towards the viewer, he holds an open hand fam with a relaxed gaze. His hair was unkempt but longer, there were prominent scars over his left eye and left pec. He only wore an off shoulder or loosened robe. Jeong Jeong was also colored by a warm orange.

At the bottom left corner, Piandao was seemingly smiling at both Iroh and Jeong Jeong, a brush and parchment paper in his hands. He was studying them both, yet smiled at them adoringly as his cheeks blushed and there was a heart. He was kneeling to the ground and was colored in yellow. End of ID.]

Sorry that this was late but for @avatar-pride-month, “You’re my Muse” with painter Piandao and models, Iroh and Jeong Jeong

@avatar-pride-month day 19: lgbtq+ media au

happy father's day to sokka and katara's bisexual dad, and his trans gay husband who's done with his shit <3

[Image Description: Both panels are based from the HBOmax show, Our Flag Means Death.

In the first panel, Jeong Jeong resembles Edward Teach/Blackbeard via clothes and tattoos. Sitting in a tub and crying, he looks towards Piandao/Stede and says, in orange text, “I’m not a good person, Piandao. It’s why I don’t have any friends.”

In the second panel, Piandao resembles Stede Bonnet, dressed in a black cloak. Looking at Jeong Jeong/Ed off screen, he says in reassurance, in yellow text, “Hey…I’m your friend. End of ID.]

(Late) Day 16: Cuddling for @avatar-pride-month

[image description: Piandao and Pakku cuddling together under a blanker in a tent. Piandao has his arms wrapped around Pakku while the waterbender’s head is resting close to face. While Piandao sleeps on his back—hair out—Pakku faces away from the opening of the tent with one eye drowsily open. The moonlight seeps in from the tent flap. Piandao’s finger nails were painted in the nonbinary colors. End of id.]

For @avatar-pride-month, I present a redraw of PiandaoxPakku drawing I made a year or two ago for today’s prompt, Cuddling.

@avatar-pride-month day 16: cuddling

2 years post canon vs. 5+ years post-canon

when they first reconnect post-canon, jeong jeong's in a vulnerable place, recovering from being on the run and his war trauma. piandao's priority is making sure he feels safe enough to heal, and he takes on a bit of a caretaking role.

a few years pass, jeong jeong gets better, and he returns the favor. this is their usual position from then on - it's healing for both of them.

shoutout to @littlespoonsokka for making me think about spooning and putting this post about height differences on my dash every week

[id: in front of a blue background, Master Pakku was dressed up in inuit parka-inspired outfit—almost resembling the amauti. He wore a light dress skirt underneath and hair braided and over the shoulder. Turning towards the viewer, Pakku gives a raises brow expression as if unimpressed by something, while his right hand was out free—as if waterbending. Around him were little swirls and designs with the colors of the genderfluid flag. End of id.]

Unexpected cameo for the prompt, Genderfluid, @avatar-pride-month :0!!

@avatar-pride-month day 13: Dancing

found this while searching adorkastock for refs and knew it had to be mailee! lesbian rights <3

[id: With light shining over them, Piandao and Toph Beifong face towards the viewer from the waist and up. In the front, Toph gives a large toothy, and proud beam—flexing both their arms as her headpiece crown was the colors of the a-gender flag. Ver belt also has aromantic flag with the little beads being the lesbian flag. Behind her, Piandao looks fondly at the viewer with a smile. In his left hand waves the nonbinary flag. And clipped to his robe were buttons—the new polyamorous flag and the Gay/Men who Love Men flag. End of id.]

For today’s and tomorrow’s prompts, I drew the wonderful Toph Beifong and Distinguished Master Piandao for @avatar-pride-month :3

[id: From left to right, Bato stands tall over everyone with his arms crossed, looking towards the other direction with a smile and smug brow. His nails were painted as the trans-masc flag and the tie that held up his hair was the colors of tbe bi flag. In front of him, Yue had her head down to the side—facing to the left. With her hands held together, her eye remains closed as she gives a fond smile towards Smeller Bee. The tie that held up her hair resembles the trans flag. Beside her, Smeller Bee was laughing with her and her eyes were closed. The face-paint on her cheeks were trans-colored and her headband was bi-colored. And on her other side, King Bumi faced towards the viewer with a toothy, ecstatic smile. Shirtless and proud, Bumi bared top surgery scars as his right arm was held up high and flexing—showing muscle. And wrapped around his waist, the colors of the xenogender flag were shown. Outlining the four charaxters was the transgender flag colors. End of id.]

Written for Day 8: epiphany for @avatar-pride-month

“Grandma, I need to tell you something,” Ikki said, her narrow face solemn in a way that was very much unlike her.

Katara frowned, wondering what could be troubling her youngest granddaughter. They were having lunch, just the two of them, as they often did since Katara had relocated from the South Pole to Republic City. Her old bones couldn’t handle the cold much these days.

“What is it, Ikki?” Katara asked as she brought a steaming cup of tea to her lips.

Ikki didn’t answer right away, instead hemming and hawing as she twisted her fingers together, lips pursed in a contemplative pout. Katara knew her granddaughter. She was trying to work up the nerve to speak. All Katara could do was be patient.

At length, Ikki finally answered. “Grandma,” she said, quite serious for a fifteen year old. “I like girls.”

Katara blinked, surprised by the announcement but not in a negative way. She was just surprised, that was all. Ikki watched her nervously, chewing her bottom lip.

“Well, alright,” Katara said after a moment, and took another drink of her tea.

Ikki’s entire body seemed to exhale with relief. Katara smiled into her tea. It reminded her of the way Kya had told her something similar, although her own daughter had been in her early twenties when she came out. Katara had never taken offense to Kya waiting so long; it had been her journey and her story to tell, and she told it only when she was good and ready. It seemed Ikki was doing the same.

“That’s…you’re okay with that?” Ikki asked after a moment.

Katara smiled warmly at her granddaughter. “Of course I am,” she said. “Why wouldn’t I be?”

“I don’t know. I was just worried.”

“You never have to worry with me, Ikki. I’ll love you no matter what,” Katara told her sincerely. “How long have you been feeling this way?”

Ikki shrugged. “My whole life, I guess. I always noticed how pretty girls are.”

“Well, sure you did. Girls are pretty,” Katara remarked. “Who doesn’t think that?”

For a moment, Ikki just stared at her. “Grandma,” she said slowly. “Not everyone thinks girls are pretty. Jinora doesn’t. I asked her.”

Katara frowned. “Well. Hmph.”

“Grandma…” Ikki arched her eyebrow. “Do you think…maybe you like girls too?”

At that, Katara blinked. Was that…a possibility? All her life, she’d always thought women were beautiful. But she thought she was simply admiring their beauty. Is it possible she was actually attracted to them? She thought of the beautiful women she’d known in her life and the way she’d felt about them, feeling uncertain at first, and then realization dawned on her.

“You know, Ikki,” Katara said as she smiled over the rim of her cup. “I think you might be right.”
