How do you feel about ... Hakoda/Bato/Kya?

anon.... the can of worms you just opened

I LOVE THEM. although we unfortunately did not see a lot of kya i think she would be very in line with their prankster-y vibes. i imagine they knew each other for quite a while, and she knew about their antics-- and maybe even assisted sometimes? i think any 3 person relationship, romantic or otherwise, is best punctuated by 2 of them ganging up on the third. and with bato/hakoda/kya (bakyada......). bato and hakoda prank kya via physical humor. kya and bato roast hakoda. kya and hakoda prank bato via clever banter [hakoda was the lure and kya delivered the punchline]. 

i particularly love... canon divergence or modern aus where kya doesn’t... yknow. like a couple of us having been discussing the possibility of an au where bato and kya are dating first and hakoda is like oh man i was in love with my two best friends and so indecisive they just started dating each other 😔 but he doesn’t realize that all the times they invite him out to go sledding or canoeing or third wheeling in any other activity, they’re really trying to Ask Him Out. like he’s so smart, but i think he’s a littel bit oblivious too. a lot bit really. 

and like. listen the three of them co-parenting???? i broke this in half for scroller’s sake sldfj

bato is the best at putting the kids to bed. kya is best at figuring out what they need and why they’re crying. hakoda is best at playtime. all three of them try to agree on Rules for the kids, but hakoda is bad at enforcing bedtime, kya is bad at enforcing a limit on sweets, bato actively sows mischief, 

and of course hakoda and sokka click so fast (adhd kings) and katara emulates kya in everything, but they cannot sleep without bedtime stories read by bato-- he does voices! and his rumbly voice puts them to sleep so fast. hakoda and kya aren’t bad at bedtime stories but it takes at least twice as long for the kids to fall asleep. if bato ever has to go for trips they video call for him to put them to bed. hakoda naps with them during the day, all three of them cuddled up. and kya of course wakes them up in the morning by sitting on the edge of their bed and kissing their foreheads. 

so um yeah i like bato/hakoda/kya thank you for asking anon
