Description I drew this picture about a week ago and it came to me as I was listening to the song 'Teardrops on my Guitar'. This song fits Mai's feelings toward Zuko nearly perfectly! Well, except for the guitar thing. Maybe it should be 'Teardrops on my daggars or something... Never mind, that sounds stupid... Well, if you listen to the song, you'll understand the story plot that the picture represents.

I know I ddin't draw Katara's wrist bracelets, but they were becoming a pain and I remebered them after I finished shading the skin, and if I added them, it would ruin it, so I just didn't draw them. Sorry about that.

In this picture, Mai is just walking to her room when she glances over to one of the balcony's and witnesses Katara and Zuko together. She doesn't say anything, but the feelings she's had for Zuko her entire life are apparent in her tears. I hope you like it. This actually sounds like a good plot for a one-shot fanfict... *Ponders*

I am not bashing Maiko or any other coupling. I just thought this song was too perfect and I had to draw this picture. I actually feel sorry for Mai because I've had many guy friends that I've had feelings for, but that never really felt the same.

Lyrics:

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

Poor Mai.......(even though I dont like her that much)But Mai and Zuko do end up together anyways so there's nothing you Maiko fans have to worry about(even though I dont like Maiko I prefer it more than Zutara)

I don't think Mai would cry. She would probably kill Katara, or Zuko.

Also, I think that your WRONG when saying it's something "Mai deserves" if you've seen the boiling rock you should know why she's the LAST person to deserve that. And no one should be punished for loving someone and having them be loved in return (in other words: no one should be punished for their feelings!)

And anyway, it's more like a punishment for Zuko and Katara if you think about it.

It would be very uncharacteristic of Zuko & Katara to hurt someone like that and not even care. And Mai doesn't seem like the type who would cry.. Even about Zuko. She did [temporarily] break up with him after all.

You see this is why I hate Zutarains becuase if someone besides there ship becomes canon they try to bash the hell out of that character for no reason. Oh and another thing the kiss in the trailer wasn't a dream.

Its kind of unfair to say you hate all Zutarians because not all Zutarians bash other characters for no reason. You can like more than one pairing.

[unsheathes claws]

Your deviations are one thing, but THIS....

Cruelty. Unbridled cruelty, what you just said. You have shown more disrespect to the canon in that statement than all of your images combined. You appreciate nothing of subtlety, foreshadowing, or character development. You close your mind and don't even think about the situations or characters in the palest resemblance of a different light, though you may claim to. You focus on one group, and you don't allow yourself to remain open to the possibilities, and judge things too firmly too soon. You're setting yourself up for extreme disappointment throughout the following season, and until now I was hoping that you would have it otherwise. But I can see that no matter what is revealed, no matter what is shown, no matter how an event is displayed, you won't change your mind or back down. I've learned the lesson of reserving comments and criticism, largely thanks to you--I owe a lot of my respect for Zutara now to you, now, but don't feel happy about that. It's disgust at the attitude I took with you, how paralleled I was. Yeah, I'm taking this way too seriously, and this comment isn't exactly sticking to the code I've taken on, but you know, there's a limit. I've never stripped Katara's character, Zuko's character, Mai's character, or anyone else's character. I respect and admire every character in the show--the creators put a life into each one, and create stories and lives for them. Such inconsiderate hatred for a character does nothing for you. Nothing. The creators love Mai, Grey DeLisle has dubbed her her favorite, and she's going to be developed heavily in this season.

Take the words you just wrote and frame them. Save them to your computer. Do whatever. Three months from now, you'll regret them.

No one in life would "deserve" this. And one of the greatest things about this show is the life the creators breathe into their characters. A true Avatard should be able to feel for any character, in whatever situation. When Mai does something to be worthy of "deserving" this, I'll accept your comment, but there's no reason to hate her simply because she's giving Zuko love, acceptance, and support in a time of conflict. Her feelings for Zuko are more than a crush, and she's not just with him because Azula told her to be. Mai and Zuko are a canon couple, and you can't deny it forever. Your pairing may have been shattered by one shot (and a half-hour season finale), but you know, if and when Zutara happens, I'll keep in mind that hating Katara's character because Mai and Zuko couldn't be together would be stooping down to your level, and I have no intentions of going THAT low.

You disgust me.

Draw some actual pictures and get a feel for what a character is. Visualize a backstory and actually do something creative. Then say what you want.

My apologies to the original artist and anyone else I might have offended with this, but no apologies to you.

Fufucuddleypoops In reply to swan-swan [2007-09-10 21:03:45 +0000 UTC]

20, i checked a after i asked you. i know ur lying though. if u aren't lying, then u spend WAY too much time on da, and u have no life.
well, if you want to know why i don't like mai, a FICTIONAL CHARACTER, is because she's always a downer, she didn't even care when her bro got captured, she is WAY out her league, and she's never been kind to anyone. only throwing knives w/ sarcastic comments every now and then.
and why mai deserves what's happening in the pic, is cause she tried to interfere w/ zuko's happiness, and she is a butt for not being happy for them. if she really liked him, she'd be happy if he were happy.

swan-swan In reply to Fufucuddleypoops [2007-09-10 21:22:16 +0000 UTC]

No, I'm not lying, yes, I have no life. I'm pleased with my situation, have my doubts, but I have enough of a life outside, too.

She's sarcastic, that's a character trait. She was following Azula's orders when they were attempting to rescue Tom-Tom....she's a girl who doesn't show her emotions much. We can't tell what she was feeling there, but it's an interesting thing to think about. We'll need to see some more of her character first, though. Which the third season will provide--she'll be doing a bit more than being sarcastic and throwing knives.

When did she ever interfere with Zuko's happiness? 0_o I mean....[link] both look happy here! ^_^
