Honestly this screencap is so iconic to me.

P'li... the woman you are. Look at her man! The expression, the casual hand behind her head, the way she holds that fuvking chalice... I'm shaking...

...Zaheer should be wearing the princess Leia bikini outfit and feeding grapes to her I feel like that's the energy.

Random red lotus hcs I have, with no explanation or reason:

-Zaheer is the only one who can actually cook.

-Zaheer and P'li sometimes intentionally act disgusting just to annoy Ming-Hua and Ghazan. It always works.

-Ghazan's favourite game is the floor is lava.

-Zaheer either got his eyebrow scar freeing P'li from that one warlord OR in the battle to kidnap korra when she was a kid before they all got thrown in prison to rot for 13 years.

-THEY'RE A FAMILY. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR LIMITED CANON INTERACTIONS. THEY'RE A FAMILY AND THEY LOVE EACH OTHER, SO THERE.

and another, to indulge myself 🔀 for p'li and zaheer

Your villains! Thanks for your asks! I took this song as a story of someone who’s independent and doesn’t care about the opinions of others. There might be a few people by their side, but it doesn’t matter: they’re fine to be on their own and live their best life.

Felt right to be talking about P’li in this AU:

–

P’li was a woman who lived outside the social norms: she was fierce, independent, built with an imposing stature and attitude to match. A woman anyone would have a hard time pinning down. Literally and figuratively. Nights in the city all one would ever be able to capture of her was the sound of a motorcycle engine purring and the blue light trail of her bike’s tail light. 

It was mesmerizing to watch.

Hidden under one of the city bridges, P’li was resting for a minute, needing a smoke break and she wanted the chance to exist in peace. 

By chance, on the other side of the underbridge in the shadows was a man sitting on the ground reclining on his own bike and looking at the stars.

He turned to her, and broke the distance between them with a simple, “Nice bike.”

Taking a drag of her cigarette, she checked him out and replied, “You, too.”

The man went on in appreciating the open skies and freedom that comes in weaving through traffic and the streets.

P’li hummed, able to reciprocate the feeling. 

The man began to talk more, but she abruptly cut him off. “You talk too much.” Instead, she offered him the chance to smoke with her.

The two became acquainted. The man, Zaheer, was the leader of a small biker gang of two other people where they would go riding all night, and embrace the feeling of not being tethered down to the world’s responsibilities and their own problems. 

He asked if she would be interested in joining them.

Gangs. Friends. Acquaintances. No thanks. P’li didn’t fuck with that vibe.

Near to finishing her smoke, P’li stomped out her cigarette butt on the ground and got ready to head out. Straddling her bike, P’li spared a glance over her shoulder and said, “Thanks for keeping me entertained,” before revving her engine.

Before he knew it, she was gone. The blue tail light of her bike shrinking into the distance.

Zaheer nodded before returning to his own bike and laying down to admire the stars once more.

This became a near weekly routine for them. There’d be weeks when P’li wouldn’t show up, but some when she would.

They tested out each other’s bikes and sometimes rode through the nights together.

When there was a desire that came to be realized and built to a peak, P’li invited herself to his bed. 

Laying there in the sheets with P’li by his side, Zaheer was staring at the ceiling before he asked what they were.

“What a ridiculous question. Does it matter what we are?” P’li simply replied. They have a good thing going, there was no need to fuck it up with labels or anything like that.

Silently, she swiveled out of his bed to find her clothes.

His eyes raked up and down her form as she got dressed. When she finished putting her clothes on, he said, “Guess not.”

The keys to her bike jingled when she grabbed them from the side table by the door. 

“Will I see you?” he asked.

Halfway out the door P’li looked back at him. She found his voice calm and expression unreadable. 

“Maybe.”

With that, she was gone.

Zaheer laid back in his sheets, releasing a heavy exhale. P’li was an enigma. A ripple in the water. If he tried to get too close, she’d pull away. 

Keep reaching out for a wave, one might find themselves in too deep. 

Zaheer groaned and aggressively wiped his face. It seemed as if he'd gotten pulled in more than he thought.

@katkastrofa

Animal behaviour that will always be funny to me: when the males of a sexually dimorphic species where the female is larger than the male are clearly drawn to the largest female they can find.

Like imagine being a simple creature who possesses one braincell on a good day, functioning entirely on instincts focused on survival, and at the current moment both that one braincell and all the instincts are going

"fuck yeah huge woman, lemme get a stepladder so I can mount you."

[malachitezmeyka]

For once the singing shows my grandma watches non stop played a song I actually know so now I have +100 to my mood

[cuteniarose]

u can always just make an au where p'li + ghazan don't see each other as siblings??

aka "midori + suiren would have firebending half sibs"?

I get what you mean but I'm gonna be honest, I don't really wanna do that lol. I can see the potential/think it could possibly work but that doesn't mean I ship it or want an AU where it could happen, you know?

And depending on the verse Suiren and Midori DO have a firebending sister, as long as you subscribe to the very loose "our dad's adoptive sister and her partner have a daughter who would technically be our cousin but we call her our sister because fuck nuclear family" definition of the word (a.k.a the Ultimate AU, Mud of Adversity AU, and MoA variant of the Sacrifice AU, where Nazra the P'heer child Kat and I pretty much adopted exists). So... there's that?

Red Lotus are the only het ships I fuck with

[idkjustletmescroll]

Why do we love the red lotus so much?

It’s no secret that among the avatar/lok fandom that the red lotus in season 3 are some of the legend of korra’s most beloved villains. I started to wonder why that is, and I’m writing down all my thoughts because of course I am.

1: Cool character designs

Visually, the red lotus are super-interesting, especially when you put them altogether. Zaheer’s all-gray monochrome look and his little change from long hair and beard to baldness, and his eyebrow scar. Ghazan and his tattoos and that mustache he grew when he was ten. Ming-Hua is small but mighty, waterbends without arms and uses said waterbending AS ARMS, another shining example of the avatar franchise’s portrayal of disability. And P’li being a seven-feet-tall combustionbender with a cool braid. They look cool. What more do you need?

2: They’re human

Probably part of what makes the red lotus so popular is that they feel pretty human. Obviously Zaheer is the leader of the group, and I’d personally have loved some more moments reminiscent of the “seriously? right now?” scene, but they’re clearly all besties. Ghazan, as mentioned above, complaining about P’li and Zaheer making out in the truck; P’li getting a piggyback ride from Ming-Hua on her way out of prison and calling her a show-off; Ming-Hua calling the boys ugly mugs; Ghazan commenting, upon seeing Zaheer fly for the first time, that “i guess [Zaheer] doesn’t need a ride”; etc. They have distinct personalities from each other, with Zaheer being the planner and leader, P’li being quiet and menacing (unless she’s with her friends and her man), Ghazan being the chill, laid-back one, and Ming-Hua being snarky and hot-tempered. P’li and Zaheer obviously have their romance, which is sweet even if fans (*cough* me *cough*) would’ve loved to see more of it. They work incredibly well together as a team and in battle. Ghazan worries about P’li when she’s injured at Zaofu, P’li gets mad at Zaheer when he gets discovered on Air Temple Island and alerts the city to their presence, Ming-Hua and Ghazan are visibly surprised, sad, and confused all at once when Zaheer achieves flight and they learn that P’li is dead, Ming-Hua has the odd habit of sitting in trees and the backs of chairs instead of the actual chair...there are plenty of little moments that drive home the fact that they’re people who care deeply about each other.

3: They’re badass af

I mean, seriously. Zaheer was arguably more feared than the other three even as a non-bender, and is beaten with airbending only by his overconfidence and airbending inexperience against strong bending masters. P’li is a combustion bender who can a) talk, and b) curve her combustion beams. Ghazan is the franchise’s first canon lavabender, and Ming-Hua is its first bender who’s missing limbs. She supposedly uses her torso and legs to waterbend, despite the popular fan theory that she also uses at least some psychic bending. They have unique abilities that expand the possibilities of bending, make for unique and interesting fight scenes, and give our heroes a genuine challenge. Neither side is ridiculously powered-down; Bolin and Mako put up a good fight against Ming-Hua and Ghazan, for example, given their two seasons of battle experience and previous pro-bending careers, but still get their asses kicked and are captured, because they’ve never fought these kinds of benders before! How the hell do you stop a lady who can basically waterbend with her mind? How can Bolin stop Ghazan when all of Bolin’s ammunition is thrown right back at him in an even deadlier form? 

4: No canon backstories

Hear me out here: I do agree that we could’ve gotten more hints of their backstories and how they all met, etc., but they don’t have a canon backstory like Amon, giving them that air of mystery. I love speculating on their pasts, which I couldn’t do if they had them in canon. But idk, I feel like this just depends on what you like in your villains.

In short, a large reason the red lotus is beloved is because they’re so different from anything we’ve previously seen in the franchise. They’re fresh, new faces who give us what is widely considered Legend of Korra’s best season.

I'm drunk and it's suddenly very important that I superimpose my Red Lotus feeling into this

new alignment

[avatar-dacia]

The P’heer Scene™ happened.  I bit my knuckle—partly because I know what’s happening in ten minutes, partly because it was The P’heer Scene™.
