Omigooooooaaaashhh 😭😭😭 your last post!!! Somebody PLEEEAASE SAVE BAATAR FROM HIS OWN MIND!! I literally know the feeling of fighting with yourself and your own thoughts and it's truly exhausting, nerve wrecking and draining!! But to have them centered around people who have extraordinary powerful abilities that literally change both the physical world and spiritual world HAS to be torture!! Omigosh by beautiful baby boy needs therapy!!
NO FOR REAL IM TRULY BEGGING HIM TO SEEK A GOOD THERAPIST LIKE SIR PLEASE 😭😭
Kuvira can just see on his face when he starts Thinking Too Much and then has to divert his attention lest he be consumed by the horrors of his own thoughts kshsjs Baatar doesn't like being fussed over like he's helpless and she knows that, but she can't help but check on his heart rate often to tell if he's having an anxiety spike or not. Especially when they're in public because it happens. He'll suddenly realize he's just surrounded by people who he can't ever know the intentions of and he'll just start quietly internally panicking and Kuv can't help but pick up his heart rate through the ground and have to go rescue him from himself :')
Like when he was captured and held hostage by Korra and she threatened him with the Avatar state, sure he called her bluff but that has to be the number one fear of any non-bender because what could they possibly do in response to that? He pretty much had his fear of being subjected to the mercy of someone with bending realized- in the worst possible scenario imaginable, and all he could do was try and talk his way out of it. And yeah Korra would have never hurt him in front of his family but he was still humiliated in front of them all the same. He's a champion at masking his feelings on the surface but I can only imagine how heart attack enduring as a non-bender being threatened by the Avatar themselves would be.
He's got so many mental anguishes going on at once, his status as a non-bender, how that has damaged his relationship with his family, his identity crisis, and also how he internalizes how Kuvira has felt outcast and he just reflexively gets angry for her. The man truly needs a mental health intervention because insisting that he can handle it all on his own has not been going as well as he thinks it has ajshsj
I've reoccuringly daydreamed about the scenario where Baatar does start going to therapy and detangling all his cumulative damage and feelings like that's truly what I want for him the most, some mental peace ;;
#Ask Matsu#Baatar Jr.#LoK Thoughts#[ this doesn't even scratch the surface of all the Horrors I put him through in my AU akjdjdjd#but truly my boy please go take a nap then seek professional help LOLOL#Kuvira truly is like the rock that keeps him tethered to the earth#she has been the one to listen and validate his feelings when no one else did#and he did the same for her#in a way they really saved each other from their repsective misery#I feel so many feelings for them both Baatar especially#he's truly my emotional support fictional man and I just want him to be happy with peace of mind ;;;#I feel a lot of the same fear that he does about feeling powerless in a world that could just decide on a whim at any moment to destroy you#and you just have to walk with your head held high and hope that it chooses to have mercy#it can be such a sinking and exhausting feeling#I really wish more could have been explored with him about how non-benders feel about their place in the world and how they think#because even with his privilege he'll never be a match against even the weakest bender#and that has to be such a wretched feeling ]
