Zutara Week 2020 Day 4 “Celestial”
She often laughs at him whenever Zuko tells her, thinking that it was just one of his awkward attempts at flattery. But whenever moonlight kisses her face and she basks under the gentle rays, she is nothing short of heavenly.

Day 5 - Realizations - for @geraskierweek
Scene based on @geralt-jaskier ’s new Time Loop fanfic for this same prompt “Do it Again”
Post 1x06 sort of fix it fic! It’s probably now one of my favorites, and I’m so glad I was able to participate with her in this story. Go read it you guys!
I prefer to use Redgrave as their surname, because their hometown is Redgrave City and Dante used “Tony Redgrave” nickname, so it’s kinda similar to your idea (I like it, btw). Also in Russia we call them “Spardovich” sometimes. It’s a patronymic, but still could be used like a surname.
Unpopular opinion: I’ve never liked saying that the twins’ surname is Sparda. I understand where that comes from, but I’ve never been able to get behind the usage of their father’s name as a surname just like that.
But hear me out.
In Spanish, we have a couple of ‘fun’ usages of the prepositional particle de (of) when it comes to surnames (I am aware that a bunch of other languages also use this or something similar, but I’ll stick with what I know best for the sake of it).
So, for example, if a woman wants to stress her relationship with her husband, she can say she’s [Name] [Surname] de [Husband’s Surname]. In some cases, de was also used as a nobiliary particle.
Let’s say that the twins want to stress the fact that they are, well, the Sons of Sparda. So, they could, technically, say their names are Dante of Sparda and Vergil of Sparda.
And, if we have fun with it, we can kinda treat that ‘of’ as a nobiliary particle due to the weight that Sparda’s name holds in the underworld. He wasn’t a ruler there, but everyone knows who he was so 🤷
Also, he was Fortuna’s feudal lord for a while, so I guess we could say he was Sparda da Fortuna if we follow the Italian conventions? But let’s not go there. That’s not important right now, lol.
Yes, I’m reaching. A lot. And also ignoring a bunch of conventions. But I kinda like how it sounds?
Fixed it fam.
At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.
Does it get better?
