Kyoshi era week day 2 - Parental Figures

Kyoshi and Kelsang

@kyoshi-era-week-24

[hadesisqueer]

I'm sorry but Kyoshi's identity as the Avatar being revealed because one day she randomly improvised a song/poem while working at the kitchen and Kelsang recognized it as the love poem Kuruk wrote for Rangi's —Kyoshi's future girlfriend— mother is still the funniest lore in the entire Avatar franchise. Like it was like

Kyoshi: *simply improvising a love song about a beautiful woman with black hair and bronze eyes*

Kelsang: *freaking out because he recognizes the poem and has realized she's the Avatar*

Meanwhile, the rest of the servants probably believing the poem is about the scary Fire Nation girl who thinks nobody sees her fucking sprinting across the estate every time she has to meet with Kyoshi:

Like seriously, fucking funny. The only thing that could be as funny is Eska and Desna legalizing same-sex marriage and just showing up at gay weddings in the Northern Water Tribe.

I've been rereading the Kyoshi books, and I'm in a character design mood, so I thought of designing Team Avatar: Kuruk edition

It's so much fun designing Avatar characters. I love getting to research the different influences that contribute to the worldbuilding

[Kyoshi's trying to tell Rangi and Hei-Ran about Kuruk's troubles with spirits, but she accidently mentions he was deeply in love with Hei-Ran]

Hei-Ran: So, you're telling me you spent your time communing with the past Avatars discussing Kuruk's man-whoring?

Kyoshi, blushing: It was relevant...

Hei-Ran: How?

Kyoshi: Well, there was this poem... That's how Kelsang knew I was the Avatar and ---

Rangi, interrupting: What do you mean?

Hei-Ran: You entered the Avatar State in our battle against Tagaka. That's how we knew.

Kyoshi: You see, no... you know, this is not about the poem!

Rangi: So you did know!

Kyoshi: No! No, I thought the poem was about you!

Hei-Ran: What?

Kyoshi: No, not like that! I thought I'd come up with it!

Rangi: How a poem that was supposedly about me would make Kelsang think you were the Avatar?

Kyoshi, looking at Rangi, then at Hei-Ran, and back at Rangi, blushing intensely and gesturing widely: Well, you two are terribly similar!

Hei-Ran, sighing and pursing her lips: Terribly, indeed...

Remember, though: Nothing will match the level of insanity of Kuruk and Kyoshi and their companions.
