Going thoroughly insane over how on completely different ends Sora's and Koushirou's roles and relationships with their mothers (and in extension their parents in general) are portrayed in Adventure. And once again, it was ALL based on miscommunication:
Sora is perceived as the tradition-defying "tomboy" who is "loud" and plays football; Koushirou is perceived as the "good boy" who is always "polite and correct" and never acts spoilt or out of line. The key word here is "perceived", because we see both of them display traits in front of their peers that go beyond the "role" their parents witness (and that both of them are willingly or subconsciously displaying in front of them); Sora is actually the caring mom/big sister friend who literally and figuratively takes everyone under their wing, Koushirou is opinionated, forward and outspoken when things are dire and at stake.
Sora's mother wants her to act more like "the daughter of an ie-moto", more feminine, less out of line - at least, that is the message that reaches Sora, since her mother asks her to quit her beloved football. Her polite and aloof attitude appears to be rather cold and dismissive to Sora, which is basically what makes her rebel against the whole flower arrangement business. She feels unloved and misunderstood, as if she cannot be appreciated if she isn't "perfect" in her mother's eyes. Thus she is unable to understand that her mother may just worry about her hurting her injured leg even more. Furthermore, Sora has a very poor grasp on the fact that she herself is acting towards her friends and partner in the exact same way, albeit in a more gentle way most of the time.
Koushirou's mother wants him to be more selfish, to tell her what he dislikes and what bothers him, to stop being perfect at all times - but that is exactly what he physically cannot do, as he himself is doubting his whereabouts and simply tries to just shove all doubts and worries aside. Instead of acting "normal", he is hiding behind that barrier and mask of perfection towards his parents - and has to realize that this attitude is worrying them even more.
In the end, it all gets (mostly) resolved through them realizing that they're still loved regardless of what happened; they don't necessarily HAVE TO change, but it is up to them whether they want to or not. Meaning, their respective arcs of self-discovery have not ended yet, but the foundation for better relationships has been established here. Sora will start playing tennis (a.k.a changing her hobby) in an attempt to move towards her mother more, choosing to do so for her own sake. Koushirou will try to act more open and casual towards his parents, even though he is actively being reassured that his hobby (being into computers) is exactly what he is all about and that he doesn't have to change that.

If I had a nickel for every OTP I have about two childhood best friends who fell in love with each other in their teens without ever telling the other,
but were separated because of their century’s heaviest war,
just for one of them to end up mutilated and lost
while the other found themselves fighting for someone who was actually just exploiting them
and who they had to betray in order to set their lover free,
while proving to the audience their love through a sort of wedding vow that the fandom unanimously recognizes as an iconic line,
then proceeding to be reunited some time later
just for the writers to break them up at the end,
while still exploiting the love between them either for drama or to enhance other storylines,
leaving the fandom to wonder if the hints dropped in time were just random or actual confirmation of their love/happy ending,
I’d have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice right?

so you know how ive said Ursa will sometimes go to wherever Izumi is and just start talking endlessly about whatever is on her mind? well Izumi does exactly the same but with Lin
they dont notice that they do the exact same thing, with the same kind of excitement and unceasing passion, but Lin does notice and she thinks is the cutest thing :)

I like the idea of an alpha's instincts going completely haywire because of their omega (definitely used this idea in stories before, I don't write much fanfic, but I do write a lot of original work). So just Azula going batshit insane until Mai comes back to her, it works like magic. Suddenly she's her normal calm, rational self and focused on being that alpha that Mai fell in love with.
A lot of people kinda hate cheating, I think it's almost funny because I love to find a way to make it happen. Like, the novel I'm writing is currently titles "a cheating omegaverse porn romance novel".
In this one Zuko tonight he could get with Mai because between nobles, she's kinda the only that didn't treat him terribly for being a beta. At least in the beginning. Later on he noticed how close Maizula were and then he got obsessed with having Mai as a mate. (I change Zuko a little, but I keep the canon that Azula is a better sibling. Especially because like dragon!Azula claims people, alpha!Azula claims platonic mates and Zuko was one of them until he betrayed her.)
Mai's way too strong to be afraid. And even when Azula threatens to burn her (because in this AU, The Boiling Rock happens almost the same way), Mai doesn't feel scared. Azula has accidently burned her before, and Mai knows it'll hurt but she'll be fine.
Azula's very clingy and very protective. She's very soft when she's allowed to be soft.

Thanks for this, Ash!
I like the idea of an alpha's instincts going completely haywire because of their omega.
I like it too! It's as romantic as the Alpha goes crazy because he's not around his Omega.
So just Azula going batshit insane until Mai comes back to her, it works like magic.
Azula: MY OMEGA! WHERE THE FUCK IS MY WIFE? ...Oh, Here it is.
Suddenly she's her normal calm, rational self and focused on being that alpha that Mai fell in love with.
This is so cute! How Azula does everything she can for Mai, and is so obsessed that she is willing to make her Omega fall in love with her again and again!
Later on he noticed how close Maizula were and then he got obsessed with having Mai as a mate.
Please tell me Azula killed her traitor brother! How dare you mess with his younger sister's mate?
I just hope Mai punched him in his ugly face when he tried to hit on her.
Is Maizula a secret couple? Or does everyone know their relationship but it is something discreet?
Alpha!Azula claims platonic mates and Zuko was one of them until he betrayed her.
Shit, I wonder if Azula will trust anyone again when she saw how her own brother tried to make a pass at her Omega.
Because in this AU, The Boiling Rock happens almost the same way.
Almost? details, details! Tell me what things change, I find that interesting.
Small changes can change the whole story.
Mai doesn't feel scared. Azula has accidently burned her before, and Mai knows it'll hurt but she'll be fine.
I rather like the idea that Azula finds it impossible to harm her lover, as if her fire didn't burn and hurt her Omega, it would be so impossible even if she wanted to!
Azula's very clingy and very protective. She's very soft when she's allowed to be soft.
I love the idea of Mai saying "Tick" to Azula because that's her alpha! She is always above her.
Azula is soft when they are in their nest without any interruption, while she is in an awkward position because she doesn't want to hurt her Omega's belly, because she doesn't want to hurt her baby or her Omega.

I love Izumi and Iroh so much!!!!
I'm also working on the third chapter of the Carmen Sandiego comic. The second chapter was not translated (I remind you that I am from Kazakhstan, and the scriptwriters are from Russia and Ukraine and I adore them)
