Sometimes I wish I had more people interested in my creations, but then I get hit by thoughts like “Imagine the outrage you’d be faced with if your Avatar Suiren AU was more popular. This is the fandom that still cannot ‘forgive’ Korra for SOMETHING THAT WAS DONE TO HER, calling her the worst Avatar for losing the connection to her past lives (which came about because she HAD RAAVA LITERALLY RIPPED OUR OF HER) and acting like that is somehow a worse offence than, say, inaction leading to genocide. The hate you’d get for intentionally making Suiren the last Avatar would be IMMEASURABLE” and go “… actually, I’m glad that for the most part it’s just @katkastrofa and I–”

(Though then again… would it even be an AU by yours truly if it didn’t contain at least one cancellable offence? 😁)

#don’t even try to tell me I’m wrong #also Suiren is even less like Aang than Korra is. she wouldn’t stand a chance in this fandom #everyone knows most people in this fandom can’t handle angry brown girls #and Suiren is honestly on a whole different level #so yeah #I’m glad it’s not a well known thing #but her biggest offence would of course be letting go of Raava #and thus also losing the connection to her past lives and ending the Avatar cycle #her next incarnation will not be the Avatar. they’ll be just a normal EK kid #and that is the biggest crime an Avatar could ever commit #deciding to spare future generations of the burden #the Avatar should not exist. it is too much power and responsibility for one person #and every Avatar we know of was stuck in an endless cycle of fixing their predecessors’ mistakes #nobody deserves that. especially not a child. and the Avatars ARE discovered as children for the most part #even at 16 like Roku Kyoshi and Kuruk is still way too young for having the fate of the world on your shoulders #I’d argue any age is too young #the world can’t depend on one person to solve their problems #the avatar is ultimately human. they make mistakes. they’re biased. they can be corrupted #and not a single generation goes by without at least one world-scale threat. nothing any avatar does is every enough. it’s a thankless job #no era of peace has ever lasted long. that has to be something worked for by the world at large #ending the cycle is the correct move because then the world will not be looking to the Avatar for every issue #and will actually start sorting shit out themselves. that’s my (very correct) view of it. at least #but again. this fandom will not be able to handle that. because they care about a bunch of long dead ghosts more than living characters #I’m sorry but sparing at least one kid of the trauma that comes with being the Avatar makes losing the past lives connection worth it #to me at least. and it’s not like breaking the connection erases them from ever existing like Greater Lord Rukkhadevata. they’re remembered #just can’t be accessed anymore. and that’s okay. they deserve to rest #(forgive me for the Genshin Impact reference it was the only thing I could think of. it was a brief phase I don’t play it anymore)#anyway. idk where this rant/meta just came from. I apparently have A Lot of thoughts about this AU that aren’t limited to Kuviren smut lmao #Avatar Suiren AU #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness
