Mai X Zuko - Tumblr Posts
Mai truly is for us emotionally repressed girlies like
Her whole character arc is like she’s emotionally repressed and was never allowed to express herself so she puts up all these walls and acts like she doesn’t care about anything and is so closed off.
And then her whole arc culminates with her loudly and proudly declaring the love she feels so deeply for Zuko. she expresses just how deep these emotions go, she is willing to die for him. Because she cares so much. Her emotions, her care, her love are so strong that they overpower her fear. Not just her fear of Azula but her fear of expressing herself, of stepping out of line, of standing for what she believes in. Which at this moment is Zuko- she doesn’t even fully understand what he’s doing, but she knows she trusts him more than anyone else. More than the fire nation propaganda and brainwashing, more than Azula, more than her parents. She knows Zuko has a good heart, she loves him for it, and she trusts it.
And that trust and love empowers her to finally express just how deeply she feels.
I don’t know if I’m articulating this very well but as someone who has always struggled to express myself Mai is just so fucking good and powerful to me.
Maiko at the beach,
mai: gives zero fucks
zuko: gives way too many fucks
i guess you could say my type is, same people different fonts.
no, seriously you don't understand the depth of my obsession with them. these people are emo, sarcastic, either or both of them hate everyone else except their significant other, socially outcast/ anti-social, will stand up for their partner when no one else will, match each other's freaks and also 3/4 of these ships are doomed by the narrative.

Umm... Is this their orange peel test? 🤔
I’m not into Maiko Modern Era Fanfic / AU but …When I read a good one that really leave sparks to me, it’s kinda makes me want to read more and more stories with Modern background trying to search similar vibes there
Mai set her Standard and make sure it Known! ✨
Like Zuko how dare u pick up that 🐚 for a second and consider it as a gift? You don’t even really look at it!!!
Not him getting annoyed at Mai for not accepting that seashell then coming few seconds later to give her peace offering like plssss
They could never make me hate Maiko when Mai was willing to die for him and Zuko looks like a dopey puppy every time she is involved and Mai will let her walls down around him and Zuko is the only one who can earnestly make her laugh and Mai threw mud at him when they were kids and Zuko was so ready to jump to her defense when Azula lit a apple on fire on her head and Mai can touch his scar like it’s not even there and Zuko thinks she’s so beautiful when she hates the world and Mai trusts him so implicitly that she’d betray her nation, friends, and family for him and Zukos only regret when leaving the fire nation was also leaving her and Mai tries her hardest to work past her own issues to support him in his struggles and Zuko genuinely loves it when she expresses herself and Mai who doesn’t like hugs will be so cuddly and touchy only with him and Zuko knows she doesn’t need anyone to protect her and Mai loves him more than she fears Azula…
Maiko the ship that you are… they could never make me hate you

#proudest boyfriend moment
Finally! I can contribute to making my own Maiko content. Just posted my first Maiko Fanfiction for this Fandom who has always been so kind to me since the D-1 ✨
I am kinda nervous. Since all the Maiko Fanfic that I’ve read are beautifully written. I wasn’t confident enough at first, but eagerly wanted to write them since they were my comfort couple at this moment. I hope you enjoy it! ♥️
Summary:
Maiko Modern AU. It’s been 3 Months since she broke up. Ty Lee encouraged Mai to go on a date with someone new and she thought maybe the bubbly girl was right. At first, she thought that would be easy moving on from Zuko. Little did she know that silly little things would remind her of him.
Inspired by Red Velvet’s Wendy – His Car Isn’t Yours.
saw this and my brain went MAIKO!
headcanon that they made izumi in the fountain, which was both stupid and difficult.
I wonder what Izumi thought about her Mommy and Daddy relationship at that time.
Izumi is like; "Wait so you two really did broke up? I always thought you were glued to each other, couldn't keep your hands off."
Zuko: “I don't wanna talk about the old bad times, Zumi. The important thing is we're now here having you, our little turtle duck.”
Mai and Zuko exchanged loving gazes towards each other and smiled.
Izumi: “Oh please... Go to your room you two!”
"mai isn't izumi's mother, her and zuko broke up in the comics and mai is seeing another guy."
literally her and zuko:
My first attempt at drawing Maiko:)
This couple is so cute. I fell for TT
If I may add 🥹,
Zuko knows Suki didn’t buy that, it’s Mai cooking cuz he always remembers the taste of the meal she made, she rarely cooks so every time Mai cooks for him, he always eats it slowly and wants to remember every bite. So he knows it’s definitely from Mai. And even if he's gotten sick he'll be glad to know Mai still cares about him. 💕
Mai cared to zuko even after they broke up, if suki mentioned that zuko caught a fever, she would send a flask of komodo chicken soup through suki and made suki tell zuko she bought it.
