oh, my days, I think you're lovely

(You're my rediscovery) Yuuji finds himself in a really weird meet cute situation when the cute dark haired, pierced boy who volunteers in his universities library isn’t only his best friends girlfriends best friends roommate, but also gets his piercings done at his kind-of-estranged-kind-of-not brothers tattoo/piercing studio. What a small world, right? (He’s losing his mind, and Nobara is enjoying the show.)

this fic was supposed to be 6k words. Im not... Even kidding like ik everyone always jokes abt fics getting away from them and ending up super long but this ended up almost four times the length i originally intended ummm!!!!

ATLA Theory: Water Tribe Settlements Pt. 1

In Book 2, we learn that a group of water benders had settled down long ago in the Earth Kingdom’s Foggy Swamp. I’ve always felt that this little detail added so much to the world of Avatar, as it indicates that there had been plenty of intermingling and cultural exchange between the Four Nations long before Sozin decided to “share the Fire Nation’s prosperity” with the rest of the world.

Really, if any of the Four Nations were to have a long history of seafaring and resettling, it would have to be the Water Tribe. I imagine that the poles can sustain only so many people and the ability to manipulate water certainly lends itself well to ocean exploration. This is why I love the inclusion of catamarans (Polynesian Double Canoe Ships) as part of the Water Tribe’s fleets; it implies a golden age of sea travel that happened long before industrialized colonization, paralleling the real-life history of Polynesia.

With this context in mind, my first Water Tribe settlement theory is…

Kyoshi Island

Evidence 1: The Proximity

Kyoshi Island is in close proximity to TWO Water Tribe settlements, the Southern Water Tribe and the Foggy Swamp. Putting it near one concentration of Water Tribers could be a coincidence, but right in between 2 areas known to have waterbenders feels very intentional. Frankly, given a choice between living in a swamp or living in the South Pole, I would also choose to live near a giant eel monster.

Evidence 2: The Look

Kyoshi Islanders are really, really in love with the color blue. Only the Kyoshi Warriors wear green and that’s specifically to honor the woman who created the island. Otherwise, blue seems to be the most prominent color in their culture, just like in certain other places…

They even have similar fashion sensibilities to the SWT; notice the cross-collar shirts, waist ties, and how many of them rock the “short sleeve over long sleeve�� combo, just like Book 1 Katara and Sokka. You can even see that a lot of Kyoshi Islanders have blue eyes, a trait that’s otherwise exclusive to the Water Tribes.

Finally, lets take a moment to appreciate that Suki even wears her hair in a “Warrior’s Wolf Tail” when she’s not in her Kyoshi gear.

Evidence 3: The Cultural Inspirations

The Water Tribe is heavily inspired by Arctic and Subarctic cultures. These cultures include Inuit, First Nation, Mongolian, and various Siberian groups. Kyoshi Island draws inspiration from two cultures: Japanese and Ainu.

While Japanese culture needs no introduction, the Ainu are an indigenous group native to snowy Northern Japan and Siberia. In other words, one of Kyoshi Island’s cultural inspirations is very thematically similar to the Water Tribe’s. In fact, if you wanted to create a group of people that are a mix of Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe peoples, the Ainu would be the perfect people to draw inspiration from. They’re subarctic and tribal, but also East Asian. They’re basically the perfect cross section of Water Tribe and Earth Kingdom elements.

AIIIOOOOOLLLLIIIII HAVE I MENTIONED YET HOW IMPORTANT U ARE??? HELLO????

But also YES I feel this post soooo bad!!! I rlly rlly rlly wanted to write Bakoda in my fic in a way that highlighted it’s never too late. It’s never too late for the one you love, it’s never too late to find that connection or even to realise it. It’s never too late to communicate. If both parties are willing, it’s never too late to find that love!!!!!

I wanted to write it in a way that honoured Kya, and also honoured the unique experience of being a queer adult, especially late in life, an experience so many queer people are robbed of. Anyway. All this to say I LOVE BAKODA WHO GET TOGETHER POST OR DURING WAR RAAAAHHH‼️‼️‼️‼️
