brought to u by ur local earth sci major; ty to the crime fam for supporting me in making this post and @itszukkatime for coming up w like half of these
zuko is an earth science major
- bitchfather ozai (business dude) is one of those ppl who devalue the humanities and made zuko do a stem major. zuko hates this but ozai kinda…pays for school so he has no choice. this goes on UNTIL he discovers earth science and his visual learner brain goes !!!!
- bitchfather disapproves bc he’s a climate change denier but cannot say anything bc it is stem
- zuko also double majors in literature bc fuck u dad and he has very strong disaster theatre gay energy: he does not sleep and sees no problem with this; also subsists on ramen and asian snacks even tho he can cook perfectly well
sokka is an engineering/lit double major
- he meets zuko in intro to american lit (why did i do that i hate american lit) and bond over the things they carried (the vietnam war novel) and shared family trauma aka hakoda being/having been deployed and zuko having the worst home life/no friends
- originally they both lived in single rooms but then one dorm flooded and a bunch of the assignments had to get shuffled around so eventually they become roommates
katara is a computer science major
- she will physically fight anyone who says women shouldn’t be in cs/stem. zuko joins her even tho she’s told him a hundred times that she’s fine; he just wants to beat ppl up
- she also joins zuko and aang (environ sci major/environmental activist) in committing minor acts of ecoterrorism
suki is a political science major and is in a sorority
- ty lee (psych major) hangs out with a really toxic sorority bc all her sisters were in it but Hates It There…but once she meets suki she ends up joining her sorority and havin a great time. she also plays the sousaphone in marching band bc just imagine the image
- azula is a business major and captain of the division 1 volleyball team
- mai plays the piccolo yall just need to know this.
piandao is zuko’s mineralogy professor and also advisor for his major
- he also teaches swordfighting at his studio a little off campus which zuko and sokka both go to (and don’t KNOW that they both go to and piandao sets them up by giving them both spare keys and after hours permission)
- he’s the local iconic gay professor (based heavily on MY iconic gay professor) he owns a shirt that says “queer scientist” and is dating jeong jeong, who is a chaotic dirt gremlin who somehow got tenure (he’s a field geologist who was forced to teach a class by the department)
– toph is also a chaotic dirt gremlin who decided that jeong jeong would be her advisor and did not look back. their combined energy can and probably will bring a building to the ground
iroh owns the local boba tea shop
- literally everyone goes there to hang out and do schoolwork
- zuko works there bc he needs money and loves his uncle the only thing he doesn’t like is that ppl who know him (not the gaang obvi but just random folks) see him there

It’s been a while since I’ve fallen so deeply in love with a book. And when I love something I usually feel the need to make art.
Also, it’s funny how my style has changed a bit since I started drawing more digitally, I like it.
