how do the avatar kids ask reader out on a date?? 🥹💞💞

this was a fun one! i only wrote for three characters, but there’s a bit more plot than i intended. i hope you like it :) and merry christmas!

avatar headcanons | he asks you out on a date

⋆✮↪ ao’nung, rotxo, and neteyam

ao’nung

he tries to set something up with the help of his friends, but fails. ao’nung’s original idea of a date would be something nice, cute, and simple. he wants to take you to the nearby atolls. maybe you can collect pretty little seashells while he hunts your favorite fish, before cooking it over a nice fire for you. however, when ao’nung shares this idea with his ragtag team of friends, he’s teased for “growing soft.” he’s obviously fucking pissed, but the damage is done. he becomes insecure and decides to go for something more rambunctious and less domestic, like a “body surfing date” (even you’re confused about what the hell that even is). long story short— you end up injured, he spirals badly, and you reassure him that anything he comes up with is special, so long as it comes from his heart and not his idiotic friends. when you’re finally healed up, he takes you to the atolls.

rotxo

he asks you out with the help of his spirit brother. the tulkun are intelligent creatures so, of course, rotxo seeks advice from his spirit brother. he doesn’t want to fumble his only chance with the most beautiful girl in the village! now, here’s the thing about rotxo’s spirit brother: he’s not exactly the youngest in the pack. his spirit brother is much older than other tulkun, which rotxo didn't mind when he first bonded with him. that aside, his spirit brother’s dating advice leans more towards tradition: gentle courting gifts, fleeting touches, and slow burn romance. he puts rotxo to work, insisting that he should cook your meals and braid your hair and such. he also patronizes him if he’s “rushing things.” mind you, he didn’t even ask you out yet! but when he does, he makes the sweetest promises, and you know damn well he’s keeping them.

neteyam

he makes a fool of himself, courtesy of his dad. neteyam doesn’t like to make mistakes. like rotxo, he doesn’t want to fumble his chances of dating you. he swears that you’re the most beautiful na’vi he's ever laid eyes on! it’d be the biggest mistake of his life if he messed up. this guy wants you so bad, but he doesn’t know where to start. so, he does what he always does and consults his old man. jake teases him like “having trouble getting the girl?” or something like that. neteyam is salty over it but he takes a few deep breaths to keep his composure. jake finally relents his teasing and shares a few tips that worked on earth. immediately, sirens go off in his head at the name of the tawtute planet, but neteyam brushes it off. jake also explains how things were with neytiri. hearing stories that felt more familiar put neteyam at ease, giving him a big boost of confidence. however, when he tries those cheap tricks like draping an arm over your shoulder or reciting cheesy “pick-up lines,” you take it upon yourself to ask the big question yourself. truly, for his sake and yours.

Mayor Gaston Temasong: I'm delighted to meet you, Your Imperial Majesties Napoléon V: Thank you again for your welcome and discretion

Temasong: Of course. If you'd like to follow me Napoléon V: We'll follow you

Temasong: How's your honeymoon going? Charlotte: It's wonderful. We'll remember it for the rest of our lives

Temasong: I'm delighted. Bora-Bora is the most beautiful place in Francesim and in the world, as you've seen Napoléon V: Certainly, it's like being in another idyllic world

Napoléon V: Is everything going well for you and your people? Temasong: Thank you for your concern, Sire

Temasong: Every day, the independentists undermine my mandate and threaten to overthrow me Charlotte: That's terrible, Monsieur le Maire

Napoléon V: If necessary, I can consult the Polynesians in a referendum. When the independentists lose, you won't have to worry about these ridiculous threats

Temasong: That would be appreciated, Sire. But it's risky, because I've been facing Oscar Sang, the leader of the independentists, for 3 terms. His late Majesty Napoléon IV's last nuclear tests caused a lot of unrest here Napoléon V: Would this Oscar Sang compete in the polls? Temasong: I don't think he has a majority, but his party has become very important in recent years. Some towns have even removed the French flag and official photos of the Emperor from their town halls

Napoléon V: That's unacceptable! Temasong: I share your anger, Sire

Temasong: I have a slim majority, but with your help, we can certainly nip the independentists in the bud!

Napoléon V: I will put the question of Bora-Bora on the agenda of my Council of State Charlotte: Do you fear for your life?

Temasong: No, Your Majesty. There have been no acts of vandalism at my home or at those close to me, nor any attacks. Sire, I'd like to renew the offer I made to your father. If you help me keep Bora-Bora in the empire and my place as President of Polynesia, I'll give you one of our most beautiful atolls

Napoléon V: Come on, Monsieur, there's no need to make such proposals. I'll listen to the French, to all the French, and I'll decide what's best for my people

Napoléon V: I refuse to let my politics be influenced by your shenanigans, however attractive your offers may be Gaston Temasong: I didn't mean to offend you, Sire. We have many atolls for sale, and I prefer that one of them belong to you, rather than to a foreign billionaire Charlotte: Thank you, Monsieur le Maire. We will consider your gracious proposal

⚜ Le Cabinet Noir | Bora-Bora, 14 Messidor An 230

Beginning ▬ Previous ▬ Next

The imperial couple met the mayor and deputy of Bora-Bora, Gaston Temasong. Temasong offered to guarantee the Emperor his place as head of French Polynesia, in exchange for a private atoll not far from Bora-Bora. Napoléon V was offended by this attempt at bribery, but worried about this independence movement, led by a certain Oscar Sang.

(An atoll is a coral island with a large lagoon at its center. These islands are part of archipelagos and are highly prized by certain billionaires)

⚜ Traduction française

Le couple impérial rencontre le maire et député de Bora-Bora, Gaston Temasong. Ce dernier propose à l'empereur de lui garantir sa place à la tête de la Polynésie française, en échange d'un atoll privé non loin de Bora-Bora. Napoléon V s'offusque de cette tentative de corruption, mais s'inquiète de ce mouvement indépendantiste, mené par un certain Oscar Sang.

Gaston Temasong : Je suis heureux de vous rencontrer, Vos Majestés Impériales Napoléon V : Merci encore pour votre accueil chez vous, et votre discrétion

Gaston Temasong : C'est bien naturel. Si vous voulez bien me suivre Napoléon V : Nous vous suivons

Gaston Temasong : Comment se déroule votre lune de miel ? Charlotte : C'est merveilleux, nous nous en souviendrons toute notre vie

Gaston Temasong : J'en suis ravi, Bora-Bora est le plus bel endroit de Francesim et du monde, comme vous avez pu le constater Napoléon V : Certainement, on se croirait dans un autre monde, idyllique

Napoléon V : Tout se passe bien pour vous et vos habitants ? Gaston Temasong : Merci de vous en inquiéter Sire.

Gaston Temasong : Les indépendantistes nuisent chaque jour à mon mandat et menacent de me renverser Charlotte : C'est terrible, Monsieur le Maire

Napoléon V : S'il le faut, je peux consulter les Polynésiens par référendum. Quand les indépendantistes perdront, vous n'aurez plus à vous soucier de ces menaces ridicules

Gaston Temasong : Ce serait apprécié Sire. C'est cependant risqué, cela fait 3 mandats que j'affronte Oscar Sang, le chef des indépendantistes. Les derniers essais nucléaires de feu Sa Majesté Napoléon IV ont causé beaucoup de troubles ici Napoléon V : Cet Oscar Sang rivaliserait dans les sondages ? Gaston Temasong : Je ne crois pas qu'il ait la majorité, mais son parti a pris beaucoup d'importance ces dernières années. Certaines villes ont même retiré le drapeau français et les photos officielles de l'Empereur des mairies

Napoléon V : C'est inadmissible ! Gaston Temasong : Je partage votre colère, Sire

Gaston Temasong : Je possède une faible majorité, mais avec votre aide, nous pouvons certainement étouffer les indépendantistes dans l'oeuf

Napoléon V : Je mettrai à l'ordre du jour la question de Bora-Bora auprès de mon Conseil d'Etat Charlotte : Craignez-vous pour votre vie ?

Gaston Temasong : Non non, il n'y a pas eu d'actes de vandalismes chez moi ou chez mes proches, ni d'attaques. Sire, j'aimerais renouveler l'offre que j'ai faite à votre père. Si vous m'aidez à conserver Bora-Bora dans l'empire ainsi que ma place en tant que président de Polynésie, je vous offrirai l'un de nos plus beaux atolls

Napoléon V : Allons, Monsieur le Maire, inutile d'en venir à ce genre de propositions. Je suis à l'écoute des Français, de tous les Français, je déciderai ce qui est le mieux pour mon peuple

Napoléon V : Je refuse que ma politique soit influencée par vos manigances, aussi attrayantes soient vos offres Gaston Temasong : Je ne souhaitais pas vous offenser Sire. Nous avons de nombreux atolls en vente, et je préfère que l'un d'eux vous appartiennent, plutôt qu'à un milliardaire étranger

Charlotte : Merci Monsieur le Maire. Nous réfléchirons à votre gracieuse proposition

C'est si bon

En mode globe-trotter au village Olympique et dans Paris.

Jean Philippe, dijonnais de 1982 à 1995, a été bénévole au Village Olympique. Increvable fondeur, le sexagénaire Drômois cumule un total de 31 Vasaloppet. En plus d’avoir l’œil à la ronde pour reconnaître un athlète de haut niveau, ce vieux de la vieille des bénévoles, au parcours de globe-trotter, a une carte de visite riche d’un relais de la flamme à Rio. Au service de la délégation Tadjike, il a pu réaliser d’autres missions à la demande des organisateurs. Le dernier jour il conduit les Nigérians au Centre de transport d’où ils sont acheminés pour la cérémonie de clôture. Jean Philippe partage avec délice des souvenirs d’une activité qu’il compare à celle d’un guide. “La délégation KIR ? Pas celle du chanoine, un code attribué par le CIO à un pays ; Kiribati, 3 atolls en Océanie.” Les rumeurs sur la restauration au Village ? “Il s’est dit des âneries. L’hébergement était au top avec des menus variés et adaptés. 95 % des athlètes résidaient au VO à part des athlètes US, les stars NBA logés en 4 étoiles. Sur 206 délégations, les Britanniques sont les seuls à avoir apporté de la bouffe et les 2 derniers jours, ils ont distribué la nourriture en trop.” Le rafraîchissement des logements ? “Avant l’ouverture, l’affolement a provoqué l’installation d’un bon millier de clims mobiles par les délégations riches ; des volontaires n’ont fait que ça. Pour rien. La qualité thermique des logements au VO est une merveille.” L’euphorie nationale née des JO ? Il la compare aux Jeux de 1968. “Télévisés en couleur pour la première fois, les Xes Jeux d’hiver ont généré un enthousiasme avec les 3 titres de Killy. Alain Calmat, micro sur la poitrine pour retransmettre les battements du cœur, avait gravi 100 marches pour allumer la vasque en haut d’une tour. Les skieurs tricolores engrangeaient les podiums. Tout un pays se passionne. Claude Lelouch réalise 13 Jours en France, documentaire sur ces Jeux de la France. Hugues Aufray dédie une chanson à Killy.

 As the world continues its battle against the pandemic, the Maldives has rolled out an extensive vaccination campaign. The tourism industry, a vital component of the Maldivian economy, has been prioritized in the vaccination efforts, ensuring that those working in the sector are protected and can confidently welcome visitors to the islands.

Travel Restrictions:

While the Maldives is open to international travelers, it's essential to stay informed about any travel restrictions in place. These may include specific entry requirements, quarantine regulations, or updates to testing protocols. Regularly checking with official government sources and consulting with travel advisors will help navigate any evolving travel guidelines.

Secluded Retreats:

The Maldives, with its unique geography of isolated atolls and private resorts, naturally lends itself to social distancing. Many of the luxurious overwater bungalows and beachfront villas offer an exclusive and secluded escape, allowing travelers to enjoy the beauty of the Maldives while minimizing interactions with others.

Thriving Marine Life:

Beyond the safety measures, the allure of the Maldives remains its thriving marine life and vibrant coral reefs. Snorkeling or diving enthusiasts can revel in the opportunity to explore the underwater wonders, encountering an array of colorful fish, rays, and even majestic whale sharks. The open-air and naturally distanced environment of the ocean provides a safe haven for marine enthusiasts.

Supporting Local Communities:

By choosing to travel to the Maldives, visitors contribute to the livelihoods of the local communities, particularly those dependent on the tourism industry. Many resorts actively engage in community-based initiatives, ensuring that the benefits of tourism are spread across the islands.

In conclusion, the Maldives has opened its arms to those seeking a rejuvenating escape, carefully balancing the need for tourism with the safety of its residents and visitors. With comprehensive health measures, a robust vaccination campaign, and the natural seclusion offered by its unique geography, the Maldives beckons travelers to rediscover the enchantment of its coral atolls and turquoise waters. 

As the world adapts to the evolving landscape of travel, the Maldives stands as a testament to resilience and an invitation to embark on a journey of serenity and tropical splendor.

Charlotte: Are you going to do something? Napoléon V: I think so. Perhaps my advisors and ministers have already worked on these questions of independence with my father Charlotte: The Mayor seemed to say that your father had opened a file on the subject

Napoléon V: Knowing him, he must have worked to keep the islands in our territories, for military reasons Charlotte: Are you really considering this referendum?

Napoléon V: Why not? It's better now than when I'm unpopular Charlotte: It has nothing to do with you, and... You won't be unpopular Louis, ever. The French have seen you born and bred, you're a member of their family. You dedicate your life to them

Napoléon V: I know, but it's important for me to be accountable to the French, to all the French Charlotte: Independentists aren't the majority, they're just noisy and preoccupied with political infighting

Charlotte: By working with Monsieur le Maire, Polynesia can regain its calm, without making waves Napoléon V: How could this individual think that his Emperor is corrupt? Charlotte: I'm sure it's a misunderstanding Louis, he didn't mean to imply…

Napoléon V: What else then? Offering "a gift of 5 billion euros" to his superior, for the negotiation of a delicate political dossier, in order to prepare its conclusions without open debate… Sounds like a substantial and immoral bribe Charlotte: You're mixing things up, darling. It's simply a thank-you, and what he's proposing is common sense. We all want the same thing Napoléon V: I refuse in spite of everything, I'll act as I decide, free to make my own choices

Charlotte: Louis, this is stupid! You're creating problems where there aren't any! The mayor is a representative of the people too, you can't ignore that! Napoléon V: Would you have accepted the atoll? Charlotte: Of course! We might as well work together, rather than against each

Napoléon V: If you want an atoll rather than a house on the island, we can get it on our own, by saving money, without the influence of the Mayor Charlotte: Louis, do you hear yourself? We could save billions of euros and everyone would win, otherwise I wouldn't support it either

Charlotte: At least take the time to think about it. The mayor is an old man, it's not as if he's going to blackmail you for the rest of your reign, and he won't anyway, if we make sure he stays on as head of the Polynesian assembly…

Napoléon V: And if this gets out, how will we look? Charlotte: We've got the best agents in the country. You'll see, I'm sure the Prime Minister would be on my side too

Napoléon V: I'm above this little world of selfish scheming! I embody the Constitution! Charlotte: Louis… Napoléon V: Don't pout like that!

Napoléon V: I'll consult the files and my advisors, and I'll decide without the mayor, it's non-negotiable

Charlotte (chagrined): I never said you should accept right away. I simply think that the Mayor's offer is more honest than you'd like to see, and I hope you'll understand that when you think about it

Napoléon V: Don't cry, darling, I'm sorry I got carried away. It's nothing against you Charlotte: I'm not crying. I've just been emotional lately Napoléon V: I promise I'll think about it calmly

Charlotte: That's fine with me. Let's not fight over "so little"

Charlotte: I was so quick to think that we could have a dream place to come back to Napoléon V: I understand, love, such an offer is exhilarating. I don't blame you

Napoléon V: Whatever happens, we'll have this atoll, okay? I'll tell the mayor to register us as interested buyers Charlotte: Thank you Louis

⚜ Le Cabinet Noir | Bora-Bora, 14 Messidor An 230

Beginning ▬ Previous ▬ Next

The imperial couple met the mayor and deputy of Bora-Bora, Gaston Temasong. Temasong offered to guarantee the Emperor his place as head of French Polynesia, in exchange for a private atoll not far from Bora-Bora. Napoléon V was offended by this attempt at bribery, but worried about this independence movement, led by a certain Oscar Sang.

(An atoll is a coral island with a large lagoon at its center. These islands are part of archipelagos and are highly prized by certain billionaires)

⚜ Traduction française

Charlotte: Vas-tu faire quelque chose? Napoléon V: Je pense, je dois y réfléchir. Peut-être mes conseillers et ministres ont ils déjà travaillé sur ces questions d'indépendance avec mon père Charlotte: Monsieur le Maire avait l'air de dire que ton père a ouvert un dossier sur le sujet oui

Napoléon V: Le connaissant, il devait travailler à garder les îles dans nos territoires, pour des raisons militaires Charlotte: Envisages-tu réellement ce référendum ?

Napoléon V: Pourquoi pas ? Il vaut mieux maintenant qu'une fois que je serai impopulaire Charlotte: Tu ne seras pas impopulaire Louis, jamais. Les Français t'ont vu naître et grandir, tu es quelqu'un de leur famille. Tu dédies ta vie pour eux. C'est cela la monarchie

Napoléon V: Je sais, mais c'est important pour moi de rendre compte aux Français, tous les Français Charlotte: Les indépendantistes ne sont pas la majorité, ils sont simplement bruyants et ne se préoccupent que de luttes politiques intestines

Charlotte : En travaillant avec Monsieur le Maire, la Polynésie pourra retrouver son calme, sans faire de vagues Napoléon V : Comment cet individu a-t-il pu penser de son Empereur qu'il est corrompu ? Charlotte : Je suis persuadée qu'il s'est mal fait comprendre Louis, il ne voulait pas insinuer...

Napoléon V : Quoi d'autre alors ? Offrir un cadeau de 5 milliards d'euros à son supérieur, pour la négociation d'un dossier politique délicat, afin d'en préparer les conclusions sans débats ouverts... Cela ressemble à un pot-de-vin conséquent et immoral Charlotte : Tu mélanges tout, chéri. Il s'agit simplement d'un remerciement, ce qu'il propose est de bon sens. Nous voulons tous la même chose Napoléon V : Je refuse malgré tout, j'agirai comme j'en déciderai, libre de mes choix

Charlotte : Louis c'est idiot ! Tu crées des problèmes où il n'y en a pas ! Monsieur le Maire est un représentant du peuple lui aussi, tu ne peux pas l'ignorer Napoléon V : Tu aurais accepté l'atoll toi ? Charlotte : Bien sûr ! Nous aurions de belles vacances ici. Dans tous les cas, la Polynésie reste en Francesim et le Maire aussi. Autant travailler ensemble, que l'un contre l'autre. Cela écarterait la question et nous éviterait des dépenses

Napoléon V : Si tu veux un atoll plutôt qu'une maison sur l'île, nous pourrons l'obtenir par nos moyens, en économisant, sans l'influence du Maire Charlotte : Louis, tu t'entends ? On pourrait justement économiser plusieurs milliards d'euros, tout le monde en sortirait gagnant, sinon je ne l'appuierais pas non plus

Charlotte : Prends au moins le temps d'y réfléchir. Le maire est une personne âgée, ce n'est pas comme s'il allait te faire chanter pendant tout ton règne, et il ne le fera pas de toute façon, si nous nous assurons qu'il reste à la tête de l'assemblée polynésienne

Napoléon V : Et si cela s'ébruite, de quoi aurons-nous l'air ? Charlotte : Il n'y a pas de raisons, nous avons les meilleurs agents du pays. Tu verras, je suis persuadée que le Premier Ministre serait lui aussi de mon côté

Napoléon V : Je suis au-dessus de ce petit monde de manigances égoïstes ! J'incarne la Constitution ! Charlotte : Louis... Napoléon V : Ne fais pas cette moue

Napoléon V : Je consulterai les dossiers et mes conseillers, et j'aviserai, c'est non-négociable

Charlotte (chagrinée) : Je n'ai jamais dit que tu devrais accepter tout de suite. Je trouve simplement que l'offre du Maire est plus honnête que tu ne veux le voir, j'espère que tu le comprendras en réfléchissant au dossier

Napoléon V : Ne pleure pas chérie, pardon, je me suis emporté. Ce n'est pas contre toi Charlotte : Je ne pleure pas. Je suis émotive ces derniers temps Napoléon V : Je te promets de réfléchir à tout cela calmement

Charlotte : Ca me va. Ne nous disputons pas "pour si peu"

Charlotte : Je me suis si vite figurée que nous pourrions avoir un endroit de rêve pour revenir ici Napoléon V : Je comprends mon amour, une telle offre est grisante. Je ne t'en veux pas

Napoléon V : Quoiqu'il arrive, nous aurons cet atoll, d'accord ? Je dirai au Maire de nous inscrire comme acheteurs intéressés Charlotte : Merci Louis, tu es le meilleur

She cannot for certain guarantee that a story will be compelling enough for a being like Coatlicue, however, at least it will add some colour to the unique circumstance at present. At least the godling knew not to come woefully unprepared, if a tale told over a warm drink won't do, then she had something else in mind ⏤ a favour for a favour.

She ventured deeper within the shop, floral fragrance growing heavier by the minute until they reach somewhere more private. Roxanne doesn't even bat an eyelash when a table suddenly appeared with a plate of freshly baked goods. With a simple snap of her fingers or a flick of a wrist, Divine Spirit Coatlicue, could make anything revolve around her, the world at her beck and call whenever she chose ⏤ the Patroness of Life and Death. Something that the godling herself is both well aware of and at the same time, had difficulty fathoming.

As Roxanne walked past, she inclined her head in a bow of thanks and took her seat from across and began to pull out another travel mug to pour the atole for Coatlicue before pouring herself the drink. Vanilla started to mingle in with the local flora, a pleasant note amongst an already delightful atmosphere.

❝A story is a meagre offering, yes, but this one... well, it's a bit of a journey that'll get us to the destination. That destination being that it landed me here, seeking consultation from you, Great Mother of the Totiotzin ( respectfully ), on finding a suitable gift for a friend who is doing me a huge, but strange favour.❞

Once finally settled, she figured it was best to prelude, or moreso, warn Coatlicue that a convoluted plot was about to unfold... one that wove a story of serendipity, strange circumstances, and enduring love.

❝And speaking of favours, all of this began with a favour I needed to fulfill and still continue to fulfill, from someone who is not from around here. Specifically, someone not of this world... nor time, I suppose.❞

She paused, waiting to see if she captured a hint of intrigue.

Coatli tapped her chin with her index finger, mulling over the offer. "A story in return of my aid?" Of course, Coatli would listen to the story, she needed to know the details in order to decide whether she could help or not. However, would the story be enough tribute?

"If this was quite an adventure, it might mean you are in need of quite a gift. The story and drink, might not be enough for such a gift," she mused out loud, before turning on her heels and moving farther into her flower shop. "Come, I might have some pan dulce to go with the atole," she raised her hand and motioned for Roxanne to follow her. Meanwhile, the lock on the door clicked shut, the sign that had read open now read closed. No one would be interrupting them.

In the back of the shop, in a tiny corner, a small coffee table materialized with a platter of pan dulce. The bread was warm, as if it had just come out of the oven, its scent spreading through the shop. "Sit, please," she motioned to one of the armchairs that materialized with a flick of her wrist.
