sacrinecro:Archer!Yue inspired by Chiptrillino’s Yue-joins-the-gang ideas. The bow’s shape is based on traditional Inuit designs. Cool hue version and some image references under the cut for anyone interested.I used to imagine her with a knife (I’m the type of person who’d give everyone I like a knife if I could lol), but I think a bow fits her better lore-wise. Others have already drawn parallels between Yue and the Moon Goddess Chang’e, which is why I think it would be interesting to reference her husband Hou Yi, the archer deity who took down nine suns.Some AU ideas I cooked up while drawing lol:According to the myth, Chang’e steals the pill of immortality from her husband. Yue’s blessing from the Moon Spirit gives her some level of divinity/inhuman characteristics (like, above average lifespan or something that makes her Chang’e V2.0). That’s what she surrenders to the Moon Spirit instead of her Self. This returns her magical white hair to its natural color.Or, seeing her sacrifice, the Ocean Spirit steps in and saves her this time sans the magical side effects. She takes up archery to honor the Ocean Spirit and joins the fight against Fire Nation tyranny. Insert shooting-down-suns reference hahaTBH tho they’re just excuses I just wanna draw dark-haired Yue with a bow lmao Keep reading -- source link
