#Haru/Mai

[moneneki]

This time, a brand new fic for @avatar-wtf-weekend Day 2: Abandon! The idea was originally for @maiweek, for which I didn't finish but hey, now it's here!

Starring Mai and Haru somewhere in the Earth Kingdom, I really enjoyed writing this fic! Thanks for organising the event ^_^

Atla writers:This is our deutragonist and fem mc Katara!!She's a brown indigenous girl who was adultified and parentified after her mother's murder so she often acts older than she is but don't worry,we defied gender stereotypes instead of playing them straight by potraying it as horrific trauma she is validated on how painful it is to her by friends and they help her once they realize this and she falls in love with Aang because he's a lot more like a typical kid so their closeness throught the whole show helped her heal her inner child like she deserves!!She's also a badass nonconformist but in a super feminine way and always asserts her girlhood so nobody tries to make her out to be 'manly' for it and never tolerates men's shit,including Aang's when he's in the wrong,and her motto is 'I will never turn my back on the people who need me' as she spend the series as a revolutionary who fights oppressors with all her bite and helps out her fellow colonized people out of a thirst for justice and genuinely love for them!Oh and even as her and Aang had their kids,she stayed a strong positive influential figure in her verse and even earned the title 'Master Katara' and HE was listed as HER HUSBAND and she's so uncaring over fame in favor of street cred she never wanted a statue!!Isn't just Katara the best girl ever,we love her so much!!

Atla fandom:Ewww,why is this tween written and animated as a child🤢She's supposed to look like a REAL woman and a REAL woman would never choose Aang over Zuko!She's supposed to be the Momtara to his Dadko for equal balance!She'd hate Mai too and see her as a creepy worthless bitch she needs to save Zuko from!But more importantly,ZUKO needs to save HER from AANG!She dosen't know what's good for her,i'd never do any of what she did,that's all weird and male targeted,not girly at all!Katara likes rugged older bad boys BUT Jet won't do and Haru can only be a stepping stone to her true love Zuko!Interracial ships are so important and we were robbed when we got Kataang over Zutara,it dosen't count less one's the oppressive race over the other!We were baited-Look,blue and red,sun and moon,fire and water,yin and yang,those're romantic-coded for sure,symbolism always is when it's a boy and a girl!Katara deserved better than to not be Zuko's assimilating arm candy as a gift for getting over himself and she's also somehow a basic conservative cishet allistic girl who'd be a white girl in all but looks in a modern au and even then,she deserves to be prettier too by not passing the brown paper bag test!Also Toph learned better to be girly and Katara and Azula hate eachother because she's a horrible abusive bitch who only exists to prove Zuko superiority😍

“so happy the gaang got their happy ending”

what mf happy ending are we talking about exactly ?

you mean the happy ending where aang gets to live forever with the constant reminder that he is alone, that the genocide of his people happened and there is no going back ? where he has the responsibility to assure that the air nation doesn’t die off with him after his death ? where he has to forever live with the fact that he disappeared for 100 years and that the world he lives in now isn’t his. he’s a relic of the past, the testament of a forgotten culture, the last remaining of what is left of the air nomads. he’s alone, forever, at least a part of it died with his people, forever lost.

or you mean the happy ending where Katara & Sokka go back to their tribe, scarred forever by war and loss, having to rebuild the southern water tribe after 100 years of war ? having to rebuild their culture, forcefully destroyed by the fire nation ? forever living with the urge to cradle in their mother’s arms, but never quite being able to do it. Katara will forever see her mother in her brother, his face, his eyes, everything reminding her of Kya, and how she misses her. and Sokka being unable to remember his mother’s face, always ending up picturing Katara instead. even with their dad on their side, Kya will always be missing. no amount of hope, love, and support will grow them a new mother.

or you mean the happy ending where Toph goes back to her toxic parents that really couldn’t care less for who she really is ? and leaving the gaang, the only family she ever really had, who have to take on various missions around the world to rebuild it after the war ? and let’s not forget how scarred and terrified she could be after barely surviving their last battle.

or you mean the happy ending where Suki, after months in prison, simply has to go on with her life as if nothing ever happened ? as if she hadn’t rot in prison for months ? as if she hadn’t experienced the war firsthand by helping the refugees in Ba Sing Se ?

or maybe you mean the happy ending where Zuko, after living a childhood made of lies, abuse, neglect and grief, has to become fire lord at 16, with no idea on what he is doing ? after having half his face burned by his own father, for defending his nation, will experience numerous assassination attempts as a new ruler and have to rebuild the whole world because of the wrongdoings of his ancestors ? his hands are tainted red by blood that his swords didn’t shed, but the crown on his head now is his, and that’s all that matters in everyone’s eyes. that’s all that will always matter.

or maybe you mean all those other kids, that the gaang met during the series.

characters like Haru, who saw his dad being imprisoned, fearing for his life and the life of his mother everyday.

character like the freedom fighters, orphans, who had to become child soldiers in order to survive, who built a family around the hope that they were doing something right. only for it to be washed out by the destroying of a village, and the splitting up of their group.

characters like Jet, who never even got to see a life after the war, who was born in a world scarred by flames and loss, forced to become a parental figure to dozens of orphans, and who died by the hands of his very own country, forgotten forever under a lake, among other forgotten bodies.

characters like Mai or Ty Lee, that never really got to choose what they wanted to do, forcefully put into a role maintained by fear and violence. in a world that asked only thing from them : to fight.

characters like Azula, who got her whole life taken away by one cruel man, forced to become a weapon. who’s forever scarred by the way she grew up, by the way no one saved her, no one helped her, by the way she lost her mom and her brother, because of one, very, cruel man.

or Yue, who sacrificed herself for the wrongdoings of yet another man, who never got to experience adulthood, never got to experience the joy of growing up.

y’all can’t even comprehend that they are all DOOMED. they will never have a normal life after the war, never. their whole lives are forever scarred by the mistakes made by thousands of people before they were even born. they are born with tragedy, loss and war in their blood. ALL OF THEM. nothing will ever change that, no matter how good their future could be. even Aang, who was born before the war, was ultimately tainted by the horrors of it. after experiencing, seeing, all the suffering, all the wrongdoings.

they got the weight of the world and the hopes of long gone generations on their shoulders. not a single one of them got to be kids. not a single one of them got to experience a normal childhood. not a single one of them will live freely after the war. some of them won’t even live after the war.

because how. how can you forget, how can you forget 100 years of pain and suffering ?

(I know this all sounds pretty pessimistic but they all make me so, so sad… I love all of these characters so much. all of them. they make me sad in the best way possible and the tragedy of their story will forever make me cry.)

Curious how this will go, especially since Sokka has a way of attracting romantic partners in canon. Please reblog to get this poll more votes.

ATLA sexuality tier list

guys this is just my opinion btw; anyone can have different interpretations :)

[die-auster]

Rare pair May, week two

Bending swap

For @atlararepairmonth – Haru/Katara.

It suits her stubborn and strong personality and his elegant bending style.

[ghoulie-gal]

Y'all know that list of reverse tropes?? The one that was like "Too many beds; really sweet guy that only hates you; hate at first sight" etc.?

If I remember right one of them was "accidentally kidnapping a mafia boss" instead of getting kidnapped by the mafia and i think that has some kind of hilarious potential with Sinostra...

People who ship Taiga with their OCs or absolutely hate him. Just imagine it

I think the key word here is "accidentally" too like no plan no intent it just happened somehow and now you gotta deal with not only him but also Romeo losing his shit (or alternatively hindering you from returning him because now he can get work done without having to babysit) and Ritsu trying to convict you for a heinous crime just because their freak boss broke into your car and fell asleep in the back seat or something and you were in too much of a hurry to notice

[punkeropercyjackson]

Goo goo gah gah,the radicalist children's cartoon isn't western enough🥺Give me break,modern au Aang,Katara and Zuko would be a solarpunk kid raised by his granddad,a teenage anarchist who does activism after school and gets kicked out of them for beating up bullies Percy Jackson style and a disabled japanese-american tradgoth that goes to boba shops every friday,not assimilators.Also Jet was right and Iroh ain't shit

[danieyells]

I have a memory span of a goldfish so I probably forget if someone has written about something related to this topic or not... but excluding Taiga who directly mentioned the topic to us, why does it seem that only Tohma and Alan are the only ones shown so far to know/talk about the existence of the spy and actively searching for them? I can only theorize that they were only being made aware of the spy's existence because something happened in Vagastrom that was caused by an unknown party and it probably directly/indirectly worsen the situation during The Clash... but it still made me curious why they were never seen communicating with ghouls from other houses about the spy even in subtle/discreet manner (either because they don't want to alert the spy or still aren't sure where the spy came from...?) and why none of the other ghouls seem to notice the oddity/draw their own conclusion and do their own investigation? (unless it is just... never being shown yet to us on-screen so we're left to believe that only Tohma and Alan and Taiga are the ones who know about the spy hjhdjdjdjdjdjfkl)

There's also this question about what makes Tohma and Alan trust each other/believe that neither of them are the spy himself... but I'm not ready to (over)think about this question so I will just believe that being a Vagastrom and (probably) forging their friendship through fistfights has created unbreakable bonds between them that can't easily be destroyed by mere existence of an unknown enemy 💪

So far we haven't seen anybody else talking about the spy, no! To be fair we haven't really found out who they would be spying for. . .they're trying to defame the ghouls as a whole but they're one of the ghouls themselves. . .to be fair we've only seen so many conversations between the ghouls without the PC present--and most of them seem concerned about their personal lives and missions more than any sort of greater plans.

It makes sense for Tohma--he has big plans that involve changing the Institute. Of course he's aware of the spy. And Alan is someone he probably trusts more than anyone. Alan is blunt and honest and straightforward--he couldn't run an operation intended to damage the reputations of the ghouls or be a spy or anything, he's just not built for it as a person--which also means he's vulnerable, I think. So he needs him to be aware for his own safety. And like you said, for characters like them I think a bond forged with bare fists is a bond that can't be broken lmao. He can trust Alan not to talk, even if he can't trust him not to let on that he knows something. But also Alan's reputation is already a mess. The likelihood that the spy would get too close to him feels slim to none to me. Just. Too big and obvious of a guy overall.

Taiga has his possibly stigma related Awareness--so if he just. . .knows, that also makes sense. He even says "do you wanna know who it is or keep letting them fool you" which tells me that he already knows and he's just not telling. He doesn't have to look for the spy, he's waiting to see what happens. He's looking out for himself and Romeo. Maybe the pc and Ritsu now too.

Also I feel like Tohma's interactions with Haku and Rui are supposed to be implicit of the spy situation, especially when Leo says someone(most likely Alan and Tohma?) are meeting near the "gross forest"(Obscuary, probably.) and there's Rui who can obscure himself in the shadows and admits to keeping an eye on people. . . .

But I assume that Tohma doesn't trust others with it at the moment, not until he knows for sure who the spy is. And everyone else is far too busy running their houses and living their lives to notice whatever Tohma and Alan noticed(or they simply don't question it or they accept it because 'whatever, our reputations sre bad anyway, how much more damage could someone else do?' or 'we're graduating soon anyway' for the third years, and they're probably not nearly as reliable in Tohma's eyes? I mean think about who all the other second and third years and captains and vice captains are. Not really the most trustworthy bunch with a delicate situation, especially if it's possible that they could be connected to the spy.

I imagine we'll learn more whenever we get back to Vagastrom or Frostheim!! But I think the spy situation is gonna have to be addressed closer to learning about the Clash. And I feel like we haven't quite gotten there with everyone yet, so we're a ways off.

On the other hand, Ed has a home screen line to the effect of "the ghouls are rioting again? They're so energetic. Anyway i was watching a youtube video." and next chapter is Obscuary so. . . . . . . . . . .
