#sapphic Ty Lee

[querade]

sorry i couldn't make it to your graduation, son, the lesbians were talking on different sides of a jail cell and is one of them a psychopathic post-academic-weapon convinced love is a weakness, and the other one is the good-hearted peppy type who put her behind bars, and is now trying her darndest against everyone's advice to fix someone she knows is just lost and broken

Avatar Sapphic Week, Day five; New beginnings

I know Ty lee technically already knows how to apply the Kyoshi Warrior makeup, but I kinda liked the idea that her first time donning the armour was a bit of a ceremony during which Suki helped her apply it.

[ID: A digitally drawn, colored drawing of Suki applying Ty lee’s lipstick. They are both wearing the Kyoshi Warrior uniform with Ty lee being completely dressed. Suki, bare faced (and with no gloves), is smiling and raising one eyebrow, focused. She is standing behind Ty lee, resting her opposite hand on her shoulder. Ty lee has her lips parted and is looking at Suki. /End ID]

c//a shippers remind me of atla fans who ship azula and ty lee. like azula threatened to drop ty lee into fire and ty lee only agreed to join her posse because she was terrified of azula but sure, they're such hot lesbians.

Okay, so I just saw a post by @ozais-lobotomist about how lightning bending is sexy to firebenders, and while I liked the original post (I can’t find it at the moment) I want to take this theory a little to the left.

Let’s say there was a fire lord a couple centuries ago, who was such a huge lesbian that she basically became synonymous with the word. I’m bad at naming things without research so I’ll just call her fire!sappho for now.

Anyways, she could bend lightning extremely well, so that also became kind of a euphemism for being a lesbian, both because of fire!sapphos relationships and because the most proper lightning bending form is using two fingers, of course. So there’s a lot of “She’s more of a female lightning master, if you catch my drift”.

Fast forward back to the present and Azula is here, being a prodigy who can produce lightning. Now, since Sozin made homosexuality illegal (it’s because Roku rejected him. Cmon we were all thinking it), queer people have had to become a lot more discreet with euphemisms and such. Fire nation officials know what fire!sapphos name means, so that is off the table. However, female lightning master has not been caught onto yet.

When Mai, Ty Lee and Azula meet up, they’re about fourteen. For the sake of this, let’s say that Azula hasn’t seen them since before she learned how to lightning bend. Ty Lee only realized she’s lesbian a few months ago, and has been secretly researching queer people of history, so she ended up finding out about this particular euphemism.

When she meets back up with Azula, she is almost immediately taken again with the crush (she didn’t know it was a crush before) she has always had on Azula. So imagine her surprise when she sees azula lightning bend for the first time.

Ty Lee finds her ability incredibly funny, and for the life of her Azula cant figure out why. Ty Lee made it clear she wasn’t laughing at Azula’s skill, but it’s still confusing to her. Imagine at least one time when Ty Lee asks Azula if she considers herself a female lightning master, to which Azula responds yes, of course, because she is nothing if not perfect.

Eventually, after the war and after Azula recovers, (or during the war if you want a slight fix it) Ty Lee and her get into a relationship. Azula finally asks her what she had been laughing about back then, and Ty Lee tells her about fire!sappho and the female lightning master euphemism, which is the inspiration Azula needs to get back into lightning bending once again.

the tyzula --> togachako pipeline explained

it's like

Girl A (bubbly, round, brown hair, pink clothes, floaty, cheerful, yet badass in combat, good heart)

Girl B: "I tell you I love my life of violence but I am jealous of your normalcy and happiness. And i don't know how to express or process my love or admiration for you in any way other than more violence. Every time I reach out to connect it ends with you crying. I am told I am too broken for a normal life but I long for it, deep down. I am doing something wrong with everyone. But you are not scared of me. Why do you still see me as a person? I cannot escape myself. I cannot let myself care about people like you.

Girl A: (clasps hands together, smiling, literally if bubblegum was a person)

Girl B, in a dark corner: "This cannot be love, for those who love me would discard me but I would never discard you. The thought of losing you makes me tremble. It keeps me up. Help me. I don't need help from anyone. Go away. Please stay. I am meant to be perfect but I want to be you. I watch you. Only to find all of your flaws to remind myself that you and everything you represent are unhappy and pitiful and weak. If I don't force you into being by my side, you'll run. (Such a pretty face, prettier than mine. That's not allowed.) Don't you see how much I care? How much I don't? How much I can't but that I do? If I am perfect, and you are kind, what has caused this wretched sickness in my mind?"

What do you think of Mai and Ty Lee in the comics and their treatment of Azula?

They are very different from Mai and Ty Lee in the series, do you still like Maizulee in the comics?

Thanks for the question, Amor!

Honestly? I haven't read the comics, because I'm poor...But I know some things! because I like it is informed.

Personally I don't like that they treat her so cruelly, they literally did the same things as her AND THEY ENJOYED DOING IT! I don't understand why the creators simply ignored everything and said that they were just saints who only obeyed a "schizophrenic tyrant", that doesn't make sense!

And then they said they were fucking traumatized by their childhood friend, when all their problems have to do with their family! Not for Azula.

Mai and Ty Lee like Azula and are fine with chaos as long as she doesn't mess with them.

...I'm not going to apologize for venting.

But I would like to read where EVERYTHING happens the same, but Mai and Ty Lee have to pretend to hate and despise Azula with the Gaang, while inside they are actually really fucking worried about Azula and sometimes hide information about Azula from others, so that don't get caught and arrested or worse.

And I don't know, maybe they always leave clues for Azula so she doesn't get caught and help her move forward.

They love Azula no matter that she is sometimes an idiot to them, they are too.

Any Tyzula headcanons? Do you think that they can happen in canon?

omg yesssss 💖💖💖

1.) azula and ty lee had their first kiss in ba sing se

2.) ty lee often visited azula in the asylum, and helped her do her hair and makeup and feel pretty

3.) they had their second kiss at ember island, after azula apologized for what happened with that stupid boy and explained she was confused

4.) azula eventually told her father about their relationship when he was in jail and he disowned her

5.) 7 years after the war, they got married (zuko struck down sozin's law prohibiting same sex marriage) and they lived happily ever after 💖💖💖

....but wydm anon? they ARE canon

a (very late) mailee boiling rock screenshot redraw for day 3: be gay do crime/day 7: free space of @atlasapphicweek !

[id: a screenshot redraw of a scene from 'the boiling rock' done in a digital semi-realistic painterly style. mai and ty lee are both shown kneeling in front of the camera, shown from the bust up. they are both facing three quarters to the center, with mai on the left and ty lee on the right. ty lee is drawn with light tan skin, slightly darker than in canon. they are both frowning at the camera. mai looks more angry, while ty lee looks more scared/upset. behind them are several guards, and off in the distance are a rocky cliff under a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. the artist's watermark is above mai's shoulder and it reads: 'olly' in white cursive. end id.]
