My favorite thing about steam couples isnt the opposite elements, enemies to lovers trope or the angst. No its none of that. It is the fact that the Southern Water Tribe is deeply rooted in collectivism while the Fire Nation places greater emphasis on individualism. I love when one of the Water babies think that their actions affect everyone but the Fire babies think that their actions only matter/affect them.

If the fic doesnt have a morally grey character I dont want it!!

water dissolving, and water removing - there is water at the bottom of the ocean

i feel like camemberts playlist and story are a bit too serious for this song which has a bit of a meme reputation but truly i think camembert is experiencing the once in a lifetime emotion .

Sorry to intrude, but since it seems you’re analyzing DitW and it’s about the Darkling’s past, I thought it might be semi-relevant to ask. There’s that theory (not sure if it’s canon, heavily implied, or just a headcanon in the fandom) that Baghra had multiple kids before and possibly after Sasha. If that’s true, why do we not see them? Did she get rid of them/abandon them if they were otkazat’skay or disobedient? I remember having heard that theory, then reading DitW for the first time, and whenever it mentions near the end Baghra being disapproving of Sasha trying to make friends (especially because of how it ended) I thought for sure he was about to get disowned or something. Or worse. But I haven’t heard anyone talking about the theory, so for all I know it’s a figment of my imagination.

Don't be afraid to ask. I sometimes take long to answer, but eventually I will.

Aleksander had indeed many half-siblings. He remembers trying to find some of them once he got too lonely, and likely once it was obvious he and his mother have different wants and emotional needs.

... He’d met his half sister, who had herself passed into legend and Sainthood. He’d searched the world for his mother’s other children, hungry for kinship, for a sense of himself in others. ...

Rule of Wolves- Chapter 33

As for the fate of those children- that's clarified in one of the short stories:

“I remember you,” he repeated. “You were born with a tail. Every summer I’ve come here to study and watch the sea folk, wondering if you might return.” “No,” said Ulla. “No. The sildroher cannot breed with humans. I cannot have a mortal mother.” He gave a slight shrug. “Not entirely mortal. The people of this country would call her drüsje, witch. They would call me one, too. They play at magic, read the stars, throw bones. But it’s best not to show them real power. Your people know this well.” ... Ulla felt the hurt inside her winnow to a hard point. “And did your witch mother care at all for the child she abandoned to the sea?” But the apprentice did not look troubled by her harsh words. “She isn’t one for sentiment.”

The Language of Thorns- When Water Sang Fire

In short any imperfection led to immediate abandonment, and judging from the qualities of the only child she kept, she was trying to make herself a copy. Immortal, Shadow Summoner, maybe even human amplifier to ensure they'll be in the same danger as her, therefore less likely to leave her.

Aside from DitW, we only meet very old Baghra, so perhaps she kept some of the "earlier" experiments until they grew up, and developed codependency only with Aleksander due to his similarity, but as he says- she isn't one for sentiment, to put it mildly. My money's on cold genetic experimentation with clear purpose- creating obedient Baggy 2.0 to share her miserable worldview.

Wonder where rose got that thing

(it's the lore I've been planning, rose is gone bitches >:}

I've had this planned since I created bunny, it took so long to get out though because of all the stuff happening in my life. After we started getting more Solei I really wanted to get it out. Like when Solei was first teased to have gone missing my first thought was legit "wonder if they'll run into Rose?"

They only got a little bit shot it's fine. If you can't tell Rose got fucking snatched by bunny sometime in the middle of the night so they are slightly a mess. Also rose is buff, carrying a whole ass adult male.

YES HIGH-SEA ADVENTURES!!! I love the idea of them coming across a kraken or something of that nature

Sally's at the front of the line like "FOR GLORY" meanwhile others are freaking out or trying to keep the ship(and themselves, but mostly Eddie) stable

Also the bit with Eddie and Frank😭<3 so good

Sally, Julie, Frank: throwing themselves at the kraken

Eddie: attempting to back them up, failing <3

Wally: getting snatched by said kraken

Barnaby: holding onto Wally's ankle with one paw & holding onto the ship w/ the other

Poppy: dragging Howdy's deliriously sick self into a corner for "safety" & screaming

my fav dynamics in atla are. not ships?? the platonic interactions are so so compelling, just as if not more compelling than the ships. i love u fire siblings tragically destroying each other. i love u water siblings torn apart by gender and brought together by love. i love u ursa being a complicated person. i love u uncle iroh possibly projecting lu ten on zuko. i love u toph’s horrible relationship with her parents. i love u aang’s conflict with the past avatars
