Roku: FOUR MONTHS?

Sozin: What's wrong with him?

Gyatso and Ta Min, trying not to laugh: It's really not a big deal-

Roku: YOU STOOD BY AND WATCHED ME WATER A FAKE PLANT FOR FOUR MONTHS?!

can i just say i ALWAYS loved roku yeah that's right while y'all were attacking my man i was a fan of that dork since i was a kid. y'all did the same with my homeboy kuruk. hope you're ashamed of yourselves now...

[incorrect-kyoshinovels]

you know what, i'm all for people criticizing kyoshi's fanon characterization as a cold-blooded murderer. but i'm actually not that angry at the roku novel's revelation that she emulated jianzhu, because they kind of warned us early on that that was what would happen eventually

the kyoshi novels do establish that to some extent, kyoshi did see jianzhu as a mentor figure. whether one agreed with his methods or not, he did give the earth kingdom a sense of stability with his political maneuvers, that's why everything went south so quickly when he died. even then we saw kyoshi using techniques she learnt from his diaries and recognized the patterns she was replicating, which she was ashamed of, but saw necessary

she was a TEENAGER when she was struggling with her own cruelty for the sake of duty. she was always conflicted about it, but she knew it was the only way for her. I'm not surprised the issue evolved in a worse way when she became an adult

You do have to realize that the way the roku novel treated it and the way the NATLA adaptation did it is VERY different. Canonically, it's always been implied she despises having to be the way she is. Netflix made it seem like she enjoyed it

AAAaand it's not odd AT ALL that a person with the power of the Avatar goes through a despair event horizon. It happened to Yangchen. It happened to Kuruk. It happened to Aang, and to Korra. It'll most likely happen to Roku in the novels. These guys deal with a TON of shit, like, really gruesome shit, on a daily basis. If anything, I think Kyoshi going a bit nuts is quite in-character, considering in the novels she almost went batshit like 3 times at only sixteen. The issue is how this mental breakdown is treated. And if they tell me kyoshi eventually grew up to execute a lot of people to an unnecessary extent, hey, I actually do believe it. But I do not think for a minute that she's proud of it

Sozin: It must be hard, not having a sense of humor.

Ta Min: No, I have one.

Sozin: I've never heard you laugh when I'm around before.

Ta Min: I've never heard you say anything funny.

Gyatso: You got the targets in sight?

Roku: Check.

Gyatso: You got Fang waiting below?

Roku: Check.

Gyatso: Did you have breakfast?

Roku: What? That's not on the checklist.

Gyatso: I added it because I care about you.

Roku: No, I did not have breakfast.

Gyatso: Unacceptable. Look in your pocket.

Roku, finding a granola bar: Hey, there's little chocolate chips in this.

Gyatso: I know, I'm not an idiot. I know how to trick my best friend into eating his fiber.

HELLO???

I noticed that every time someone says "flameo, hotman" in ATLA and beyond, none of the Fire Nation characters understand what it means. So imagine if you will, 16 year old Roku, freshly diagnosed with Avatar, landing at the air temple and being greeted with "flameo, my good hotman" by nearly all of his new classmates and being so confused.

When he asks them what the hell that means, they all just glare at Gyatso nearby, who is howling with laughter after having told everyone to say this to a Fire National that they're meeting for the first time as a prank. And he's internally like "you are a strange little man with a lot of guts. i want you on my team at all times now."

I'd also be willing to bet Gyatso told this to Aang as well and when he said it to Kuzon, he thought it was downright hilarious and the inside joke carried on.

reading the reckoning of roku and i am absolutely EATING up all the scenes of roku and gyatso. they have the normal amount of brain cells individually but cancel each other out entirely when they're together. truly glorious to see

Roku Week Day 4: Ta Min

[id: a digital illustration. The top half of the drawing has Roku sitting on the edge of the bed, back onto the viewer. He's looking fondly down at Ta Min who is lying down and hugging his lower back, keeping him from getting up. The bottom half shows chibi versions of both characters. Roku holds his hands in front of him with a devious smile while Ta Min, looking more awake and dishevelled, points accusingly at him with the text 'No bending in the bedroom' above her. /End id]

I enjoy all the headcanons I've seen of these two and think they make a cute couple. Can't wait to learn more about her. This was inspired by @azuzula's fic

@rokuweek Day 4: Ta Min + Day 2: Love

they r.in love

[incorrect-kyoshinovels]

one of my favorite headcanons of all time is that sozin and ta min had a bitter rivalry but only when roku wasn't paying attention. imagine that gravity falls clip of dipper and robbie death glaring each other while wendy's distracted and then acting civil when she's back. it's That. they put it aside for roku's sake but the moment he's gone ta min takes the opportunity to roast sozin hard. if it weren't for the diplomatic immunity granted to her as the avatar's spouse, he'd have her removed, but he can't. she's his problem for the rest of roku's life.

Ouhhh.. I love this!!
