Hi! Do you have any ch/ase headcanons you'd like to share? Doesn't have to be snz or ts related. Just something to cheer me up bc Saturdays are tough and my brain is mean. Of course only if you want to tho! Ty <3 -🦘

hi hello hey, roo anon!! here you go :)

- c/hase simply. will not admit to being sick. it was rare for either of his parents to actually notice if he was sick, and he got used to downplaying his symptoms as not to bother them, since he figured being sick was an individual problem.

- he doesn't really get super sneezy when he's sick? mostly, c/hase just gets really wiped out, which does not bode well for ticcing.

- c/hase sneezes in doubles, but they're not close together. it's not that uncommon for there to be a minute between sneezes, and people who are used to his sneezing pattern are often kind of exasperated by it.

- being sick makes ticcing bad. like HOLY shit it sucks. fatigue can actually make tics worse, which is just. such an experience because you're already tired and your mind/body say 'let's make this worse'. c/hase usually does not do well

- i mentioned this in the fic i posted, but c/hase's tics kind of echo?? idk how to explain it besides mind + body process the tic, and then your actual consciousness processes it again. it's weird

hope you enjoy!! tbh it might help me with writing stuff later hehe :)

Honestly the loudest parts of the Zutara fandom and how it portrays its ship remind me of a lot of fans of shallow hadesxpersephone girlboss retellings. They claim to be feminists and yet prove they’re deeply misogynistic in so many ways. They try to project their own piddling modern American issues onto the main girl when it’s like forcing a circle into a square hole. It has the girls with their families and friends protrayed as holding them back/their man being the only one who ‘gets them’ or really cares : when a mere read or watch at the oldest sources/original canon material we have prove that to be laughably untrue. Katara is a girl who is suffering from the effects of an attempted genocide in being the last southern waterbender who will do anything to protect the people she has, who also love and care for her. Persephone is a kidnapped victim with a mother who loves her and she also loves and deeply wish to be together again. Excuse me if I think they have more pressing issues than the ones you have completely imagined for them. Their own mommy issues are weak and pathetic in comparison. But I guess they have to break K or P down into shallow pieces or else they’d never really ‘get’ them. Because even though they’re understandable by anyone with half a brain they’re not ´relateable’ to these people. I guarantee if Kya was alive and expressed disapprove for Zuko they’d bay for blood the same way such people do for Demeter.

loool the last part. so accurate

i think there’s a name for this phenomenon you’re describing called the cinderella trope? isolating the fmc and imagining the prince that swoops in and saves her from all her close family and friends that hate her

except katara’s loved ones don’t hate her at all

reminds me of how people try to dismiss sokka’s feelings in the southern raider for disagreeing with zuko

again i say, a lot of this removal of katara form her community comes down to the fact that not only would her family back home completely lose their minds over that ship, but that aang is actually loved by her family and her wider community.

i’ve even seen hcs of sokka bragging about his b-i-l being the firelord (why would he ever do that???) when it’s canon he brags about aang being the avatar. it’s like they hate ka but they want the dynamics they have even outside of the 2 of them. and if they can’t have it they act like those dynamics are not that important (aang and the swt)

[bluespiritshonour]

I've been thinking lately. While I totally believe that northern water tribe was sexist to begin with—southern water tribe wasn't.

I mean, why would gran gran run from one hell to the other? And in Hama’s flashbacks—where the war was in it's infancy and we see the swt a much bigger sprawling place—so different from Katara's village—a lot of the combat waterbenders were women.

Almost half—if not more than half—waterbenders fighting against the fire nation in Hama's flashbacks were women.

So, what if, swt became more sexist overtime as a direct result of relentless conquest. It has happened in history to countless cultures that were colonised—they tend to be more conservative.

I don't hate the feminist fire nation headcanon by itself—but I do hate it when they compare it to water tribes and hold up fire nation as superior.

As if calling the people you colonised backwards where you're literally the reason they're that way isn't imperialism 101.

There's proof in the show. swt went from a culture where half their combatants were women to Hakoda’s time where only men left for war, not women.

One might argue that without waterbending to aid them men would be stronger, but atla has never shied away from nonbending female warriors.

So it's my hc that swt became more conservative overtime due to facing constant conquest and invasion.

And with the way northern water tribe had forted up and buckled down for the long run...was it that they also became more and more rigid as the war progressed? The only reason I'm inclined to believe nwt was sexist from the beginning is that swt seems more egalitarian in everything else.

For example, Sokka and Katara are the chief's kids—but they don't have titles like Yue did.

[gaybd1]

fibro sokka who tolerates the cold less and less and he gets older and how his native environment becomes uninhabitable

Yesss I mean I USUALLY HC that he kind of has to stay away from the SWT anyway because of trauma but you KNOW he gets homesick and what about when he HAS to go??

Forgive me for being the King of Angst but he goes back for Gran Gran’s funeral and it’s just SO unbearable for him down there, and everyone’s trying to be polite but they can see it…

So that when he’s even older and he loses his dad… it’s decided by Zuko and, more importantly, Katara (who is very much his Doctor for all Fibro Matters) that he CAN’T go for it

(They arrange the memorial to be somewhere warmer but still…)

[waterfire1848]

You tagged Kya x Ozai in one of your recent posts and now I have to ask for your thoughts or hcs on that ship because my curiosity is PIQUED

Thanks for the ask!!!

Hmmmmm…Honestly not my top water/fire ship but it could have potential. We don’t know much about Kya’s character but I feel like if you write her as someone who’s ready and willing to argue against Ozai then you could have something interesting.

Ozai’s used to Ursa (and kind of everyone) being more passive and secretive around him so having someone who will snap at him, yell or tell him the blunt truth is a shocker and gets Ozai’s interest. That being said, this would probably be a ship that isn’t very healthy.

Here are some headcanons though:

- Kya is never killed in the raid. Instead, she’s brought to the palace right after Azulon dies. Ozai doesn’t believe the SWT is any real threat, much less a single waterbender, so he just orders her thrown in the palace prison. Still, he gets interested and travels down to see her which is when they have their first conversation.

- Ozai realizes pretty quickly that Kya isn’t a waterbender but, again, he doesn’t see a single waterbender as a threat so he simply fires Yon Rha for his stupidity and keeps Kya in the cell.

- Based on a fic that I read but now can’t find, Kya and Ozai play board games. It’s one of the ways that they bond. Ozai is a poor sport so Kya lets him win and the start to bond more and more.

- As they play, they get to talking, because that’s what you do when you’re playing a board game. Kya doesn’t say a word about her family but she does talk about the South Pole and Ozai speaks about the Fire Nation. Eventually, Kya says something about never having some kind of food or something and Ozai decides to take her out of her cell to bring her into town.

- Of course, it looks weird for the Fire Lord to be walking around with a woman from the Water Tribe but Ozai is the Fire Lord and no one says anything. When they return to the palace, Kya meets Azula and Zuko and they hit it off.

- I don’t know where it would go from there but sooner or later Kya starts living in the palace as Ozai’s kind of partner and Azula and Zuko’s “mother”. Zuko’s Agni Kai never happens because Kya talks Ozai out of it and Zuko only leaves when Aang is actually discovered and said to be traveling with two Water Tribe teenagers.

- Two mini Headcanons: Ozai talks to Kya about Ilah and Azulon. Azula’s first positive mother figure is Kya and Kya learns how to make mochi for her.

[narrativelysignificantturtleduck]

not the same anon but i also hc sokka as autistic (specifically audhd), bc there was always certain ways he behaved that i found i related to a lot. a lot of them are just reasons you mentioned: he can be very blunt, and one thing about sokka is that he is a tendency to put his foot in his mouth sometimes, just saying things as they are without realising it might be insensitive or that it might not be the best thing to say. and i know that him overlooking certain important details, such as toph being blind at times, can be attributed to adhd but i think that forgetfulness in regards to other people is something that can be attributed to autism, in that he doesn't really think about the fact she's blind despite obviously knowing. on the contrast though, whilst at times he seems unaware, i think sokka can be very hyperaware of very small things that hes insecure of that other people don't really notice, or that other people have pointed out that he might not have thought much about before which is also smt ik some ppl with autism struggle with. and even though he is a social person, like i mentioned before that at times he seems slightly unaware of certain things, but a lot of his social behaviours can be read as masking, like his insistence he is the "meat, sarcasm and planning" guy, trying to pin his personality on these key things, and whilst his attempts to be like hakoda are Daddy Issues it can also be read as the fact he knows his dad is a well respected, well liked man, and that by mimicking his behaviour he will be perceived as more socially acceptable.

the most obvious thing is the scheduling, we know he loves his plans and he's the self proclaimed "plan guy" but he gets quite grumpy when people don't abide by them and happy when people do. sokka is a very routine person, when we first see the swt he gets frustrated when the kids don't want to train, another thing that could be read as them throwing off his schedule. there's also the thing with the fortune teller- sokka is very insistent on his science, something he's very passionate about, and gets really easily frustrated when people won't listen to him when he's trying to explain something, and can't understand why people would believe that instead of what he believes, which also kind of leans into the whole social unawareness thing. nowadays i write him more as having audhd just because i think it fits more- a lot of autism traits and adhd do overlap, and it's very common for ppl with autism to have a lot of adhd traits, vice versa. that's all i can personally think of tho, but yeah all nd hcs are neat. need more in the world

you're so right actually. i've been fully convinced. i think because i'm audhd it's hard to separate out whether it's the adhd or autism that makes me relate to a character. it could be both! also i think that the way sokka is widely perceived as dumb and silly when he's actually very intelligent is very similar to adhd stereotypes and less similar to autism stereotypes, so it was easy for me to just kinda pick that one.

his insistence he is the "meat, sarcasm and planning" guy, trying to pin his personality on these key things

i have a whole post in my drafts about how his various different "[x] guy" titles throughout the show are evidence of adhd because you feel like you can't focus on one thing and you feel like a fuck-up (bc you may forget things/be disorganized) and you're desperately trying to find the one thing that will make up for you being an unfocused fuck-up. but it actually makes so much sense as autism too, as a social script that makes it easier to define himself to other people. also defining yourself by your interests and only wanting to interact with people through them is very autistic. i think it's a question on the raads-r. also it's why i'm on tumblr.

anyways, the fun thing is that both can be true simultaneously. it's a product of insecurities about adhd and also an autistic social script.

and whilst his attempts to be like hakoda are Daddy Issues it can also be read as the fact he knows his dad is a well respected, well liked man, and that by mimicking his behaviour he will be perceived as more socially acceptable.

i think this might've also been why i initially read him as only adhd. i fell for his mask! what we know of hakoda reads as only adhd, so i made the mistake of assuming that was it. and i'm a huge proponent of "hakoda and sokka are actually different people"! shame on me.

like, generally the way he's trying to play this warrior role that doesn't fit him because he thinks that's what he's supposed to be can be read as autistic masking. he imitates how he thinks strong men are and it comes off as comical and fake bc attempting to mask sometimes means the fact that it's a mask is really obvious.

yeah i'm into this. audhd sokka!!!!!

[kiera-raelyn]

I love this idea. So much angst! So much tension! Such a hard journey for everyone involved.

From a writer's perspective, I think it would be really difficult to pull off if a happy ending is the goal. Not impossible, certainly. But for it to be realistic, rather than trite, you would need a really strong grasp of psychology. There are a lot of heavy issues to juggle here. It seems like it would need to be one of those epic length fics to be able to really dig down into all of it. I do not think I have the technical skill nor prerequisite knowledge to execute it properly, unfortunately.

I've got a hc for it already, though. I see the kid running away to Hakoda in the SWT at some point, probably as a 16-yr old (the thematic mirroring with Zuko! He goes to the SWT to meet his destiny and try to regain his place as heir while his son goes there to escape it - poetic!). And Hakoda has a Gramma Tala (from Moana) moment where he listens to the kid and validates him. And when Zuko and Katara show up, they all have a chat and abdication is acknowledged as an option. But the firebending sister bursts in (because eavesdropping and sneakiness is a family trait. on both sides) and is like "the fuck you say?! No!" because she loves her older brother and thinks he would make an excellent firelord actually and no he can't abdicate. And maybe if Dad hadn't outlawed Agni Kais for minors, there would be less of this stupid talk from the Fire Council because she she would've beat everyone down by now for insulting her brother.

I just want to see them all love and support each other unconditionally, y'know? And no, that doesn't magically fix all their problems, but it makes them so much easier to get through.

Zutara’s Son

“Try it on son, it will be yours one day”-Zuko

Ok so I know most people want the firstborn steambaby to be a girl firebender but hear me out, imagine the plot. Zuko struggles forming a father-son relationship with his waterbending son, who has a hard time trying to accept that he will be the next firelord. The fire nation wants to override his birthright and make his younger firebending sister the heir to the throne. This all leads him to be ashamed of his abilities and only use waterbending in secret. Zuko must teach him there is more to being firelord than awesome displays of power, all the while forming their bond as father and son. Katara must show him the beauty and strength of waterbending and to embrace it. Finally, he must prove his worth as a future leader of the fire nation to his people.

Sokka + Yue pre-unification designs cus I haaad to get some more water tribe ones out there.. .. tangentially related, personal hc of mine is that the SWT used to have settlements on islands farther north/closer to Yakoya/Southern Air Temple and well.. technically there's no lore DISproving that sooo yeah

[avatar-legends-confessionblog]

to the anon who dislikes transfem hcs... is there any chance its because you can't imagine why anyone would embrace femininity unless it was forced upon them? because we have a word for that, but you aren't gonna like it :/

This makes absolutely no sense to say in the context of a character who resists femininity. You have to remember that masculinity/femininity are not universal; they’re heavily dependent on culture. In the context of the show, the NWT has a social structure in which the masculine role is the warrior and the feminine role is the healer. The SWT doesn’t appear to be as rigid, but based on Sokka’s early comments, we can decide that it has some of that. Katara is a powerful character because she fights for her right to choose her own path, which for her, includes resisting the feminine role that is being forced on her. She shows that you don’t have to look and behave a certain way just because you’re a woman. Her being born into the masculine role and embracing the feminine role makes no sense in this context, and it does erase that aspect of her character.

hates palaces

mocks monarchy

hates sexism lol obvi

spiritually inclined

loves southern tradition

a bit averse to change (at least at first)

actively into politics at some point

political headcanons:

anti monarchist (i mean this is just factual at this point)

feminist (not getting into which kind of feminism cuz lol)

traditional medicine advocate? this is more oomf’s hc but I think it’s interesting

I won’t say she’s a swt nationalist like the extremists in N&S but she is very patriotic and believes in southern independence.

I've always thought the Malina/Hakoda relationship could work if written with an understanding of the underlying colonial issues, something clearly not present in the comics. Plus, I'm doubtful the abbreviated storytelling of a comic is the right media for that kind of exploration. I read a fic several years back where instead Hakoda ended up marrying a SWT widow of one of the men lost in battle. I really loved that concept. It fit and a made a lot of sense to me. (It had conflicts coming up because she had younger children, so Hakoda was able to be present for them at the ages he was absent for Sokka and Katara, which is a natural conflict inside their blended family.)

Yes, Bato not being present was weird. He's such a presence for Sokka and Katara, and even Aang, in the few episodes we see him. He should have been there and presence. (I also HC him as completely owning the fact that he's the SWT surrogate father of Aang as he initiated him into the tribe, and holding that over Hakoda at times in friendly rivalry sort of way.)

respectfully, if you think that the only reason people don’t like North and South, specifically Malina, is because “we’re upset to see Hakoda move on from Kya” or because it means Bakoda won’t be canon, I’m going to assume that either A. You actually haven’t read the comics and have only seen snippets of Malina interacting with Hakoda, or B. You actually haven’t listened to the legitimate criticisms people have with the story and the way the characters are handled.

Side note, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Bakoda fan be legitimately upset that the ship isn’t canon, I think we’re all much more focused on the fact that Bato seemingly vanished into thin air and isn’t even mentioned once in the comics lmaoo.

i feel that it's time to complete the set. hopefully, you know what it is. s/teve h/arrington c/hicago au snzcanons.

- no sneezing pattern. ranges from singles to triples, but it's really just unpredictable. triples are rare, but happen often enough that it's not exactly surprising when they happen

- has the most DRAMATIC buildups ever. this fuckin' guy

- cannot stifle to save his life.

- absolutely has dad sneezes. i'm sorry b/c i do make the rules but like... i'm unlikely to write snz content for steve so it doesn't matter.

- gets sensitive? like, if he's being triggered by an allergen or is sick, it's usually not too hard to make him sneeze

- steve kind of shudders into his sneezes, meaning that he won't bend into them but he will move with them, if that makes sense

- sneezes into his elbow! good job sir

- is fine with being sick. honestly, steve's the only one who genuinely doesn't mind being sick, mostly because his partners dote on him and they're generally very sweet :)

- runs warm. very warm. not enough to be considered feverish, but he's like. a full degree above the average person and is pretty much a space heater. can be very nice or very bad to sleep with

- gets sick once or twice a year, nothing more or less than normal

- illness for him is usually nothing or mildly Bad

- allergic to mold, but it's rarely, RARELY an issue for him

- embarrassed about his sneezes just because they're loud

you can tell i am tired. finished my big final earlier today, so i am fucking exhausted lol. hope these were okay; i do enjoy steve as a character but not making him sneeze ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
