not seeing it until the end of the series =/= not seeing it at all.

And while I can understand why a rapefic would bother you, at the same time, rape is extremely OOC for Zuko. I mean, the guy is a woobie. Even in S1, if he'd even gotten an offer to get laid he would have blushed and screamed about how he had more important things to think about, such as his honor. :/ I don't think you should let something like that taint the characters for you.

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

If it's the same fic I'm thinking of, I hardly blame you for it tainting your view of the pairing when half its fanbase lauded it as the best fic since sliced bread. Argh. Glad I stopped shipping it.

[amanda-violet.livejournal.com]

Wait, what fic is this?

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

"Push and Pull" (http://katara-zuko.livejournal.com/986226.html) by gratuity.

Just having to search for that piece of out-of-character tripe made me ill.

[misora.livejournal.com]

...I don't know that I'd call that fic out-and-out rape, per se (it's dub-con at most), but I didn't like that particular fic, either. Zuko is far too rough with her in it. He might try to assert himself with her, but he'd never intentionally hurt her, especially when he's trying to make nice with her friends.

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

Even for dub-con, it dances a little too close to the line for me. Partly because...yeah, Zuko would never take it to that degree. Especially in third season.

[amanda-violet.livejournal.com]

I just barely skimmed it and it made me raeg!face. :(

I too stopped shipping it a while ago, this kind of thing is part of the reason why...

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I skimmed about half of it before my half-digested lunch started scrambling for an exit.

I stopped shipping it due to the fanbase. JFC. I'm still ashamed I was ever one of them because ho-lee shite, the crazy. But the generally godsawful fic didn't help.

[velvet-mace.livejournal.com]

I'd stay away from rapefic if this is how it affects you. Next time tell your friend "no thanks" when she offers up a "great fic" that happens to have a non-con warning.

[honestys-easy.livejournal.com]

Why is it bothering me so much that the fanart is done in such a way as to completely hide Zuko's scar?

[hunter-san.livejournal.com]

Because it's a prominent part of him and people like to get rid of it?

idk, I thought such a huge prominent scar (that did not get healed!) and is such a huge part of his personality was great.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

It bothers me too. Well, on a first not, I sort of like scars. But, secondly, I really liked the fact that they didn't beatify him in order to make him look more "good".

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

beautify, even. Can't type today.

[zyxwvutsrq321.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of cartoon characters being given sainthood to make them look GOOD

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

That was not my intention tbh

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

It's yours? I think it's very well-drawn art-wise. And of course it's the non-scar side. I just sort of dislike when artists make the scar nearly invisible because they find it more aesthetically pleasing.

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I actually drew that side and not the other one because I am was really bad at drawing males and that was the only side I could do without wanting to throw something at my computer and set my mouse on fire. XD I think it was one of the first fanarts I did for Avatar. I look back at the drawings I did that year and I kinda cringe at how bad they were.

[(Anonymous)]

I really love this fanart! It's simple but very sweet. :)

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

Thank you :)

[ocelotish]

Personally I love his scar, but I also draw and I can tell you that sometimes it's wrong for a piece. His scar has a lot of meanings associated with it that may be inappropriate for a piece's theme. Also, if you're drawing them in profile (which is ubiquitous in couple-pictures because it has them looking at each other without drawing one from behind), you have to choose between all scar and no scar (assuming that you're actually planning it out to that degree). Also, consider the fact that the scar effects the shape of his eye dramatically and has destroyed that eyebrow. It's hard to get subtlety of expression with the only eye being contorted to a very angry shape.

Basically, there are a ton of different reasons why you might choose the unscarred side with have nothing to do with him being "hotter" (which I think was the implication). Also, if you were randomizing poses, half of the pictures you draw of him in profile won't show it.

That picture is lovely. Can I get the source?

Here you go:

[gabzillaz.livejournal.com]

Woah, never expected to see that pic here. It's so old and has so many mistakes XD

I can't blame you, Anon. I read a NejiHina fic once that disgusted me so much (wildly OOC, wangsty, turned half the characters into cheaters) it destroyed the pairing for me.

[(Anonymous)]

hmm, methinks your friend should have asked if you liked rapefic at all before giving one to you. :/ Though I'm sure she meant well. That's too bad it ruined the ship for you.
