Villager: Look! Some idiot’s trying to prank the chief.

Bato to Kya: Oh, please tell me that’s not our idiot.

If Dragon Bato, Kya wasn't going to say no to the show of her husband decorated in pretty shinies. She gets to sit back and watch as a dragon fusses over her husband.

Dragon Kya, Bato snickers whenever Kya comes up and draps something new on her husband and helps make sure the kids don't mess with her hoard too much unless it's kid safe stuff in which case Kya likes her kids in the middle of it all

Both decorating Hakoda in their jewelry and fussing over him. Hakoda can't escape their attention.

Historically Accurate Polyamory and ATLA?

One thing that's inexplicably on my mind right now is that East Asian royal families were generally historically polygamous, so if you wanted to have Azula or Zuko or King Kuei or some other Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom royal or noble take multiple partners, that would actually be reasonably historically accurate. It seems like the Fire Nation royalty has avoided polygamy in recent decades (or you would expect the royal family to be much, much bigger), but isn't the point at the end of the series that they are supposed to return to old ways?

Interestingly, some of this applies to the Water Tribes as well. Although I don't know nearly as much about this subject as I know about East Asian royalty and I don't want to say anything too confidentially, I know some Inuit groups sometimes practiced polygamy. I also know that some groups sometimes practiced "spouse exchanges" where two couples would temporarily exchange spouses in order to create fictive kinship between them. Although the SWT is not identical to historical Inuit groups and the NWT in particular seems very, very different with it's city and state, I think you could definitely justify polyamory being in the tradition of both Water Tribes.

While the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Water Tribes might have traditions of polygyny (where one man marries multiple women), the Air Nomads might have a very different traditions. They are inspired at least in part by Tibetan Buddhism, and Tibet has it's own traditions of plural marriage. Historically, the most common type was fraternal polyandry, in which two or more brothers would take the same wife. However, apparently polygyny, conjoint marriages, and of course monogamous marriages were also historically acceptable in Tibetan society. Of course, there were specific economic reasons why fraternal polyandry made sense in Tibet, which might not apply to the Air Nomads and we really don't get a sense of how their marriages and family life might look like, but it's another reminder not to force their culture into "Western marriage norms, circa 2007."

With all the various forms of plural marriage that would theoretically be culturally appropriate, I think you can culturally justify just about any form of polyamory you are interested in writing.

bato/hakoda/kya poly idea where they don't know who katara and sokkas biological dad is because sokka and katara resemble kya more than anything. they only realise bato is kataras when she ends up an actual beanstalk

[fireflaked]

@waterfire1848 and @muffinlance got me hooked on tall kya agenda

[waterfire1848]

[ Kya, Hakoda, and Bato hanging out. ]

Hakoda: If you had to pick one of us to date, who would it be?

Bato: I don’t know.

Hakoda: Me neither.

Kya: Both of you.

Hakoda and Bato: What?

Kya: I don’t know.

[chaotic-tired-bastard]

okay I am Having Thoughts. Can you believe that Hakoda was probably just so scared when Bato got hurt because he didn't want what happened to Kya to happen to him? Because Kya probably died due to fire-related injuries, bcs Firebenders and Yon Ra was a Firebender and yeah.

Gods imagine how horrified he was when he turned around and saw Bato wreathed in flames, thinking that he's going to not only have see not just one but both of his lovers die at the hands of a Firebender. And he probably felt so, so guilty because he wasn't there for Kya when she needed him and then he wasn't there for Bato when he needed him. And he probably hauled Bato to the abbey hoping, praying that he'd live, that maybe he would be able to save him unlike how he couldn't save Kya. And every time he'd get a letter from Bato or something while he's on the mend he's so, so relieved because that's proof that he's still alive, and that Hakoda had managed to prevent this one shard of his heart from shattering.

And maybe just MAYBE he feels guilty because he thinks it's his fault, if only he was faster, more alert, stronger, whatever, he could have saved them. Kept Bato safe and unscarred. Saved Kya and made it so his children didn't have to grow up without a mother.
