༅　kotoki honola , 14 , they/she , nonbinary

—　look alive, dreamer . . !

　　᯾　have you heard of kotoki honola? they’ve been known to be both eager to please and extremely shy, which isn't surprising since they remind me of cups of tea made just for their teacher, a collection of soft and clean clothes still warm from drying in the sun, and gentle, quiet airbending.

tws? '' grooming, age gap [adult/minor], power imbalance [teacher/student]

HEADCANONS

　strained relationship with parents. when kotoki became an airbender after the harmonic convergence, their parents shipped them off to tenzin in order for them to learn to harness their abilities. kotoki had already been severely neglected beforehand, but after being sent away, contact between them and their parents ceased entirely.

　obsessed with tenzin. after arriving to train with the other newly awakened airbenders, kotoki and tenzin quickly developed a codependent relationship; kotoki made tenzin feel very important and powerful, and tenzin made kotoki feel cared for and special. the two gradually began to engage in a sexual and almost-romantic relationship. without any other form of support, kotoki began to obsess over tenzin, following him like a duckling and quickly becoming his "apprentice".

　friendly with korra + bolin. even though they aren't particularly close, kotoki is much friendlier and more familiar with them than anyone else, aside from tenzin of course.

A day late, just another favorite Korrasami moment.

[habibite]

thinkin' 'bout tahno in the swamps. thinkin' 'bout him bein' raised with nothin' but love and his parents doing their best to always give him what he wants/needs. thinkin' bout him having so much love. thinkin' 'bout his momma telling him that he was so talented in his bending. thinkin' she'd probably always tell him to chase his dreams, that she'd always believe in him because no one believed in her dreams and that was the least she could do for him. thinkin' 'bout him always loving his home and his family but always feeling a yearning for something bigger. thinkin' 'bout him feeling guilt for knowing that his home in the swamps would never be enough. thinkin' 'bout him growing up and dreaming about moving away. thinkin' 'bout his momma getting older and she never stops supporting him.

thinkin' 'bout tahno maybe taking trips to the city when he can afford it and being filled with so much wonder and there's this thing called pro bending that he's heard about over the static of their radio and they're building teams all the time and it's so exciting and he's just got to come back to try out

thinkin' 'bout tahno coming home, he always comes home, and telling his momma, telling his family about everything that he sees. the city is his first true love. they can all see it in his eyes. they can't keep him away from it even if they tried.

thinkin' 'bout tahno traveling back to the city because by some miracle he has the money and he's made it during the time of try outs, and they love him, of course they do; here is this pretty boy, with so much raw talent to be chipped way at. here is this boy from the swamps with just his travel sack and his endearing way of talking and this natural way of moving and controlling his element. of course they sign him.

thinkin' 'bout how he comes home to pack up what he has. thinkin' 'bout how everyone is so excited for him, but how much it hurts them to be losing one of their own. thinkin' 'bout tahno's momma being older. she won't go with him. this is his life.

thinkin' 'bout them sending him off with food from home. with blankets. with love.

thinkin' 'bout how he sleeps the first few nights, weeks, months; it's so much noisier than he'd known. it's so much brighter at night. thinkin' 'bout the bitterness he has to swallow down at leaving. thinkin' 'bout how hard he works to be the best, to prove that he could be something. he reads the newspapers, knows that they love him but they all wondering how nothing is going to become something.

thinkin' 'bout the letters he'd get from home. it wouldn't be many. it's so far. he can't visit much. there's always practice. always events. then there's games. thinkin' 'bout how his first letter he recieves from his family is sentimentally tucked into his breastplate the first match he plays (and wins).

thinkin' 'bout how the more successful he becomes and the way more bad press seems to follow him. thinkin' 'bout how hurt he is. he gave up everything to chase his dream and this is what he gets in return--everything he's wanted at the cost of his character. he hasn't done anything wrong. he thinks about going home sometimes but he's come so far.

thinkin' 'bout when the letter comes and it tells him what he's always dreaded in his gut and it's that his mother is dead. thinkin' 'bout how it wasn't sudden but it wasn't expected. of course it happened when he was a thousand miles away.

of course it'd happen and he would be too late.

thinkin' 'bout how the bitterness and rage and grief almost swallows him whole.

he has the money now for faster travel, he's home as quickly as he can be but it's too late and all he can do is press a kiss to her brow before she's physically gone forever.

he spends a few days there. it's all he has before he has to go back. thinkin' 'bout how everything has changed for him. he still has family at home but it's just not quite the same anymore. thinkin' 'bout how he has less to care for. thinkin' 'bout how the press would finally get to him, about how he would now fully lean into this bad boy character.

In atla, could a water bender move mud?

Since it’s water and earth…. Could both benders bend mud?

Can air benders whip sand around?

I had a dream about this so now I’m interested in figuring it out….

Can a water bender suspend a rock in the air?

[tragedykery]

​getting tired of the amount of elaboration on fire nation citizens/culture in comparison to the other nations (especially the water tribes and air nomads) tbh.

[five-flavor-soup]

i genuinely, really like aang, but keeping his writing in book 3 and his writing in the comics in mind, i don’t think it’s all that implausible for him to get the sort-of-antagonist role in fics depicting katara-ships other than KA.

reiterating, i like aang: he’s adorable, he’s funny, and he’s nice. but i believe there’s something to be said about how his ‘niceness’ is written and seen as being The Reason he ‘deserves’ a love interest. his thinking is self-centred, and though that’s a believable flaw for a kid who’s, like, twelve, we’re shown that it’s a consistent character trait which is never treated as an issue… even though it is. (and if he’s mature enough to start dating the girl he’s going to marry and have children with, he should also be mature enough to be criticised for his less-than-savoury parts of his personality, no?)

it’s not OOC to write him as being possessive of katara even when they’re not dating, because he canonically is. it’s not OOC to write him as not respecting and/or noticing katara’s boundaries, because he canonically blows past them. the ideas that he might not mature much later on, that he might be wilfully and forcefully oblivious to any discomfort in the KA relationship, that he might continue shoving katara(‘s culture) aside—none of that is necessarily OOC, because aang does not go through significant character development in book 3 + the comics.

in The Promise, there’s that weird moment wherein aang is briefly anti-miscegenation and doesn’t change his mind until katara reminds him supporting that would affect him (him!!! his relationship with katara alone!!) personally. in TLOK, there’s the suggestion that aang never actively pushed for bumi & kya to learn about air nomad culture and there’s the heavy implication that aang never told the air acolytes about bumi & kya’s existence. additionally, tenzin doesn’t even have a hint of water tribe heritage anywhere in his house to honour katara’s side: he’s all air nomad (though?? nuclear family dynamic), in spite of being mixed.

don’t get me wrong, i vastly prefer fic and hc’s in which aang is a katara supporter first and foremost, and that’s also how i prefer to move through a fandom space barring meta and analyses. but i also don’t think making him jealous and petty when she dates someone else is a misinterpretation of the text we’ve been given; canon!aang shows the signs to become that way, and it’s not wrong to read his future self that way nor is it incorrect fandom-ing to highlight these traits

[low-budget-korra]

Let's talk about how the Avatar creators don't know how to handle their own creation

Yes, I will forever be thankful for atla and tlok existence but I can't ignore how much they changed in the way they treat their own characters. Especially the women and the dark skinned ones

And yes, who am I to think I know more about the character than the ppl who wrote them? I know. But I just can't witness without saying anything

1. Katara in tlok

No, I didn't want her to fight and get her ass beat like Zuko. She is an old lady after all. And even tho I still think it's believable that after she got pregnant, she stepped out of the fight path and became a full time mom, bc I think it makes sense that she decided to be for her children the mother that she didn't have. But...

In Republic City see Aang big ass statue, we see Zuko's, we see Toph's, we see Sokka's, so where the hell is Katara's? In Jinora 's tattoo ceremony, where is Katara? It's like they forgot her existence sometimes.

What's her legacy in tlok? We see that Sokka was a respectable council, Toph was a respectable chef of police, Zuko regained the honor of his nation (we see there's no prejudice against firebenders, and ppl from Fire Nation) and Aang...well I don't even need to tell about. But where is Katara legacy?

And Suki...poor Suki tho. She is not even mentioned

2. Kuruk

As much as Kyoshi novels gave him more depth and cleaned his legacy. We need more about him. He is the Avatar ( apart from Wan and now Korra) that deals with the spirits. A book or a show about him, focusing on the spirits lore would do wonders for the Avatarverse.

He is prob the most underrated Avatar. Most of the randoms and even some fans still have this idea that he was a bad Avatar bc he only wanted to party and all. And Bryke does NOTHING to give him lore, to give him the attention he deserves.

Why they greenlight the Roku novels? The new show it seems that will deal a lot with spirits so why they choose Roku instead of a Kuruk novel where they could deep dive into this and prepare the fans for the new show? Make it make sense.

They don't care if ppl think Kuruk is useless. But they cared about Roku jokes enough to make him a novel and making him powerful

Ps: I know Bryke is not the one that wrote the novels but they are for sure the ones that approve or disapprove what's in them and which Avatar will have their novel and which will not

3. Korra

They don't hide anymore how much they hate Korra. Since Avatar became popular again, Korra suffered even more hate bc of this generation of incels and Bryke chose to please them instead of the fans. How long we don't have Korra content? The 10y anniversary went by and they didn't even make a post about it. No hq (apart from Mako and Bolin one that's was announced), no novel, no official art, no movie... Nothing. They want to erase her.

Not only this,but also shit on her legacy. And yeah, let's give the brown bissexual character who suffered unnecessary hate, more "reason" for ppl to hate her and bully her fandom 👍. A fandom that is full of woc and lgbt - two groups of ppl who already suffer hate just for exist.

"oh but they say she is the strongest Avatar ever" I DONT GIVE A FUCK. All I wanted (and all of a lot of fans wanted) is for them to treat her with respect and decency. Just like they treat Aang, Zuko, Toph, Sokka... They making her be the strongest is a "shut up" for her fans not to complain Abt them destroying her legacy

4. The disconnection with the fandom

With this show, they don't want to please the fans. They want to please the random audience, the one that jumps from show to show without joing the fandom. And this is bad because the Avatar Studios is not solidified in the industry yet. They need the Adult Gaang and the new show to be a success.

The problem is the majority of the fandom didn't want a new avatar right after Korra, I'm on other social medias, so other bubbles and I can guarantee this. Ppl wanted a show about Adult Gaang, older Korra, adaptation of Kyoshi and Yangchen novels, an new Avatar somewhere in the 10.000y cycle Wan started... Yet they choose none of this.

And why is it important to give the fans what they want now? Because this would allow AS to gain money and become a respectable studio, and only then go for more "dangerous" projects.

They want to please the fandom, the incels and the woke mob all at once and this never worked well. And they are about to retcon and prob pretend tlok didn't exist, just to please the incels

They recast all of the voices, and Aang's new VA is apparently pro-Israel. Like, they want to be "cool and representative" when casting only based on ethnicity but didn't bother to cast someone not pro genocide to play a genocide survivor? Talk about performative activism right there.

5. The Comics

I didn't read all of them but the ones I read show some of the worst mischaracterization I've seen. Asami, who never lost a fight and was always helpful, being a damsel in distress. Aang, one of the most emphatic characters of the Avatarverse showing empathy towards Ozai but not Azula? Pós book 4 Korra acting like b1 Korra, and getting her ass kicked by some random criminal? Azula being genuinely stupid? What the actual fuck?

Oh, and different from the Novels, the comics are written by at least one of the Bryke

----------------------------------------------------------

It's truly sad to see what they are doing with their creation and the fandom.

[spop-romanticizes-abuse]

the idea that c//a is only toxic because the show execs were homophobic is so stupid. i've heard fans say this a lot, and it makes absolutely no sense.

because guess what? the writers of tlok had the same restrictions but MORE severe, and wasn't able to make korrasami canon until the finale. but they still managed to build a healthy relationship between korra and asami. the romance aspect was very vague but at the very least, korra and asami had a good friendship going on. it's not hard to imagine that that friendship could have turned into a healthy romantic relationship.

the writers of spop had absolutely no reason to make c//a the toxic cesspit that it was. even if they wanted to make it a complex ship, they could have still made it healthy by NOT having catra abuse and torture adora at every turn. it's really not that hard.

i mean, korra and asami had a rivalry at first because they both liked the same guy. but it never reached a point where one or both of them were actively hurting each other. and once both of them broke things off with mako, they were able to put aside their differences and form a friendship.

this was in s3, so we get two whole seasons where korra and asami are friends. spop, meanwhile, had 5 entire seasons and they just had to make catra go batshit crazy for four seasons straight, only for her to suddenly be forgiven in the last season. /s

[doyouevenshipbr0]

could aang beat korra’s villains and could korra beat aang’s?

*

so this discourse is kinda all over right now with all the arguments over who’s the better avatar: aang or korra.

and while i do really believe some people are just hating to hate and being nonsensical for the sake of supporting their fav, i do think there is actual interesting conversations to be had about their strengths and weaknesses as avatars.

so im going to give my opinion on this.

HOWEVER right off the bat i wanna say: i really dont think there are actual answers to any of these. because you cannot predict how aang/korra would have ACTUALLY acted in these situations because aang and korra probably wouldnt have ended up in each other’s exact positions anyway when you think about what they did to lead up to that point.

also, honestly, i think it’s pretty hard to compare since imo tlok is decently more action packed than atla. the fighting animation is simply better and more detailed, and fight scenes are longer. im not saying fighting as a whole is better than tlok (even though i personally think it is) bc a big complaint with tlok fights are that they’re very MMA styled and a lot of kicking and punching. which is true TO AN EXTENT. but whatever. not gonna get into that. lets get into their villains.

this is gonna be long winded AS FUCK. im not gonna literally go through every single villain. but the big ones.

and i’m going with how these two are as avatars at the end of their respective series. so not when theyre “fully realized” avatars, but still at their peaks by the end of their shows.

zhao: korra easily clears when it comes to a 1 v 1.

zuko: again, easily clears, and honestly, if korra were there we would nottttt have seen a zuko redemption arc bc she simply would have killed him in their first encounter. now i KNOW aang 1 was a way less developed bender in season one and 2 definitely had no intention of ever killing zuko, but im js korra wouldve put a stop to these fire nation hijinks real quick.

invasion of the north pole: eek. i honestly find it kind of hard to believe korra wouldve been able to go full ocean spirit monster mode. just because we’ve really never seen her bond with spirits in the same way aang did. i know i know, raava, but i just dont know if i can see this specific scenario for korra. really hard to say.

ty lee: i dont fully think its fair to include her bc ty lee was more involved with group effort stuff, but i just wanna say i think she would have FUCKED on korra lmfao. she does not have the evasion skills for this. and as we can see in tlok, she has a hard time dealing with chi blockers. i think she would ULTIMATELY beat ty lee bc yknow avatar state or whatever, but i wanna note i think in a 1v1 aang would have 0 problems taking care of ty lee and korra would struggle kinda big time.

azula: again, i think ultimately she could beat azula, but she would really really struggle. i know aang struggles with azula as well, but i think aang has an easier time dealing with her than korra would. azula is not only very strong, but she’s very smart and resourceful and crafty. i think this would, again, be a real avatar cheat code moment where she just goes into the avatar state and wipes the floor with her. but let’s assume theres no avatar state…… korra would struggle for sure. i do think even without the avatar state she would win, but it would be ugly.

ozai: she would fuck ozai upppppp idc. interestingly, i do believe ozai is a better firebender than azula, but ozai’s style of bending is one korra can easily adapt to and overcome. they are both very blow for blow brute strength type of benders. i think korra deals with these types of fighters waaaaaaay better than the fighters that are more finesse, skill, and strategy based. and by the end of the series, we can see that she has developed a good bit in these categories, so she’s got that working for her too. i dont think it would be a walk in the park by any means, but honestly, i think she handles ozai no avatar state needed. yeah i said it. dont care.

now for tlok villains

chi blockers: they would have never been able to touch aang tbh. he wouldve been able to do whatever he wanted w them. he is genuinely a master of evasion, so i really think he would have had 0 trouble with them.

tarrlok: aang would have dealt with him easily bc at the end of atla, hes able to go into the avatar state on command. in korra’s defense, she is also able to do that by the end of s1. so i think they both couldve easily dealt with him with having the avatar state. without the avatar state, then i dont think aang wins tbh.

amon: i think aang would have dealt with amon very very similarly to tarrlok. however, again, without the avatar state, hes a goner. we saw he was not able to ever overcome blood bending without the avatar state. korra WAS eventually able to do that. so idk i think in general, korra would fair better against any bloodbender than aang would.

unalaq: tbh its hard for me to even remember korra’s fight w unalaq bc i just hate that season and this fight is all over the place. i kinda feel like aang would win against unalaq easier than korra would, but when they become those big energy things, i cant imagine aang would be able to do much bc aang doesnt throw hands like that. he doesnt have the brute strength korra does. so like i do think he would lose there, but im not sure if he’d ever even let it get to that point yknow? the big plot point of this season is korra’s connection with the spirit world, and i think aang has a much stronger connection to the spirits, so i feel like thats gotta have something to do with it? idk man i hate this season lol.

zaheer: in a 1v1 aang would CLEEEEEAAAAAAARRRR its not even funny. red lotus WHO?!?!? gtfo w ur 2 weeks of airbending. goofy.

rest of red lotus: honestly, again, i think aang would have a better handle on them than korra did. i think aang is much better at adapting to opponents and their bending style. i do think he would struggle, but would overcome his struggles quicker than korra did

red lotus poisoning scene: aang would have flat out died lmfao sorry. there is nooooo wayyyyy he would have been able to break those chains and fight like that with that poison going through his body. im sorry u literally cannot convince me otherwise. i feel like this one is the most obvious, and it may be controversial, but i do not care. i stand by this so hard.

kuvira: so right off the bat. im sorry. i have to say this. aang cant metalbend. and i really really really think that would be a huge detriment. bc most of her bending is metalbending, and aang not being able to redirect/counter that is a BIG issue. however, i think he can go into the avatar state and whoop on her. but thats kind of the same for both korra and aang for every villain? if aang DID have metalbending i think he would have a much easier time with her than korra does. but aang cant metalbend. and i think thats a big issue with her.

ok thats it.

i do want to let it be known that i realize it may look like i favored korra a lot here, but i also wanna say that i think if aang were in korra’s position in general, a lot of these problems would not have even gotten this far. im mainly talking about the unalaq of it all. i think aang has better intuition than korra, which i understand may sound like a lot of bs, but i rly do believe that. i also believe he would have been smarter in the zaheer situation honestly. i did say that aang would notttttt have been able to survive the poison which i honestly fully believe, but i feel like aang wouldn’t have gotten to that point anyway. yknow what i mean?

ok bye!!!!

[itsvenera]

Can I request Gaara with an afab s/o who’s really tall and muscular but still pretty feminine?

author’s note: I was not really sure how to write this, since I don’t think Gaara would care that much if his s/o is tall and muscular (for some reason, I envisioned someone with the body build of Korra from TLOK), but today I suddenly got the muse so… hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for requesting <3

As mentioned above, compared to many other Naruto men the fact that you are tall and muscular wouldn't bother him.

Quite the contrary...

He always had a thing for feminine women (sorry, but I just imagine that is his preference!), but the fact that your body is so toned and lean would make you look like a goddess in his eyes.

He would love to see you dressed in one of these flowy white dresses, which expose your arms and back, showing off the result of years of hard training.

He loves to trace your toned arms and legs during your private times, absolutely amazed at how can you be so perfect. I firmly believe that in his eyes, you would be almost like an ancient sculpture - so delicate, yet strong!

He would absolutely adore you and your body, never failing to steal a glance at you once you pass near his office or on the street under his window.

If you are as tall as him - that would be absolutely perfect! Gaara would actually love it if you were the same height, so he doesn't have to lean down and try to adjust his head in weird positions in order to kiss you.

If you are taller than him - that wouldn't bother him, but you better lean down a bit, as he is too embarrassed to lift himself on his toes, especially if there are other people around.

He loves the fact that you are physically strong and toned, as you are also a pretty good sparring partner. Apart from his siblings, you are his first choice as someone to invite to the training grounds for a match. (which more often than not, ended in other ways, heh)

I feel muscular and feminine is a pretty GOOD combination, and you know it as well, so you may be into wearing a little bit more revealing clothes/dresses. (also the weather in Suna is literally so hot, so why cover in layers of clothes?)

Gaara is totally the type to get jealous of the idea that other men can see even a little bit of your skin, so he will sometimes keep you with him in the Kazekage office, growing draggers at anyone who lays their eyes on you for longer than 7 seconds.

Your BIGGEST FANBOY - he will compliment you and worship you every day, making sure to show you how beautiful you are in his eyes.

Overall, I don't think he would pay much mind to your build (he would love you the same even if you looked like a worm), but toned muscles would definitely make you at least 2x more attractive in his eyes.

As much as I like B4's finale, I hate that it happened in Republic City. Like first off, wanting to reclaim a Fire Nation colony that was not returned to the Earth Kingdom after the war ended is one of the very few points of Kuvira's that I could get behind, or at least see her reasoning.

Second off, however, Kuvira attacking Republic City feels a bit contrived and done purely to not make all the characters look like dicks because they were so obviously not gonna help the Earth Kingdom free itself from an oppressive facist regime that, let's not forget, Tenzin and Raiko did help put into place.

Like literally barely anyone other than the Beifongs seemed to give a fuck about the people dying in the presumed labour/concentration camps.

Like Raiko, Tenzin and Izumi were just ready to get into a cold war and call it a day. Tbh Korra didn't even seem that fucking broken up about it, more about still struggling with her own mental erosion (which is ok I like Korra's internal journey, but like, Girlie, things are going on rn.)

It just feels like if Kuvira didn't attack, the Earth Kindom would just get locked behind this handy reference to the literal Iron Curtain.

And if Kuvira does adhere to the the very obvious Stalin references she carries, the regular Earth Empire citizens are kinda fucked.

Like I get that this was a politically complex situation but there was no sense of urgency until they learnt that Kuvira would be attacking Republic City.

I genuinely wish tlok was less confined to their weird little America insert. When so much shit was probably going down in the Earth Kingdom we had to fuck around at the oriental reskin of New York city.

And it would be so much more interesting to see the Krew actually try to help free people from Kuvira's regime, as we see that there were common people who didn't support her. And the Beifongs, as an established Earth Kindom family, and Kuvira's adpoted family would also fit into this storyline perfectly but they got sidelined completely when they seemed to be the only people actively choosing to oppose Kuvira.

Like having the finale happen in Ba Sing Se or somewhere in the EK wouldn't give us as cool of a "mecha suit amongst big buildings" fights, but I think it would've been so much more interesting and poignant.

Goddamn I started writing and didn't realise I was this salty about this lol. Sorry if this comes of as bitchy. Like I said, I love the finale, I just think it could be so much better.
