Prince Wu looked exactly how Iroh expected him to look. Short and thin, he came up to about Iroh’s chin. Yet there was no chance you’d ever lose him in a crowd. Wu’s loud green and gold outfits rivaled even Bolin’s. The spurs on his boots—boots Iroh was sure had never felt a mount of any kind—looked like pure gold. 

“May I present my third son, General Iroh of the United Forces,” said Izumi. 

“Pleased to meet you,” said Iroh with a bow.

“Flameo!” Wu exclaimed. Then, with a conspiratorial look, he asked, “Have you ever killed anyone?”

“Yes.”

You've said you don't do modern AUs but if you did, who would have social media? And what kind?

That's true, I usually don't. But you know what? Why the fuck not!

Of the original generation, I think Su Beifong is the ultimate Facebook Grandma. Where she is the queen of humble bragging, FOR SURE. I don't think Baatar Sr would be into social media much at all - just not really his thing. I think Pema might also have FB, where she would post sweet updates and occasional Boomer memes and DM her family. Lin would not be caught dead on social media and refuses to look at anybody else's posts. LoLo would probably belong to the same private FB group as Bumi II and Iroh II. It's probably called something rude like SEAMEN 4 U or something. Where they reminisce over past exploits and compare fire whiskey or something. Post stupid Navy memes. I think both Izumi and Kya would be on FB, but they'd be private accounts and only for the sake of seeing family pictures and sending DMs to the rest of their generation.

Tenzin would probably have official Air Nation social media with lots of useful information. Which would actually be overseen by Jinora, of course. I think poor Tenzin would be confused by social media. And avoid it as much as possible. Jinora would probably do most of the posting and all of the accounts would be very well done.

Asami doesn't have time for social media; she has a PR firm that does Future Industries social media for her. Korra probably has both Twitter (I refuse to call it you know what) and TikTok, where she is the ultimate Gen X poster, and quite popular with all age ranges. There's air guitar. There's showy displays of bending. There's hilarious interviews with spirits. Every once in awhile she gets serious, as well. She's very popular because she's the Avatar. She's pretty busy, so she's not a daily poster by any means, but is still well liked. She has matured enough that she just blocks trolls instead of debating them.

Wu has FB, Instagram, Twitter - all of which are connected and basically post the same thing. Nothing live because the man would not be caught dead without anything wholly and completely curated and photoshopped. While he does write most of his posts and takes some photos, his posts are curated by his PR firm before being published and are meant to represent the Hou-Ting family as a whole. The Pool of Golden Blooms does have social media, but it's done by his publisher. Wu does have a private FB account so he can keep up with friends and family, however.

Mako would have Whatsapp so he could get in touch with folks but that would be about it. He'll gamely watch whatever memes anyone else shows him, though. He's often included in Wu's posts and he's okay with it. As long as he isn't required to actually keep up with it.

Qi would have Insta only; no candid shots, but something incredibly stylish and cool. Fashionista account, for sure. Followed by thousands and thousands. Never responds to anyone. Please. As if they would. Scorpio.

Bolin is the KING of social media. One of those celebrity actor accounts that everyone loves. He'd be like the Mark Hamill of Avatar Social Media. Or the Neil Gaiman. He'd respond as much as he could.

Opal would be the Georgia Tennant of Twitter and Instagram. Enough said.

Nuo would have FB and Instagram. She would not post all that much, but she'd keep up with what everyone else was doing. However, she and Wu would Facetime daily. There is official Zaofu social media but that's done by the PR team.

Wing would mostly post stuff about his garden. Wei would mostly post stuff about his pro-bending. Neither of them is very regular. They are both pretty busy with their lives and are more outdoorsy dudes anyhow.

Ikki mostly does live blogging, and she's fairly popular. Sometimes Baatar Jr is in it by accident and he is HIGHLY CRANKY about it, which Ikki thinks is hilarious. Most people think he's doing it as part of a long-running joke but no. He's legit crabby. He thinks social media is the downfall of civilization and refuses to use it. (When it is pointed out to him that his Aunt thinks the same he gets real fucking pissy.)

Huan does Twitter and Insta, but only about his art. He doesn't interact.

Meelo does regular live blogging like his sister, mostly about the Southern Air Temple as well as the school for the Deaf they have there. I would imagine he would do some sort of YouTube channel to learn Sign Language. (I have a lot of headcanons about Meelo eventually coming into his own and being an amazing teacher.)

Rohan? Too busy for social media, probably, although if Jinora asked him to do something specific for Air Nation social media he would gladly help out.

Hou-Ting kids? Naoki would do occasional Instagram posts, probably. It would focus a lot on her bending/her students' bending. She wouldn't do anything with regards to the Fire Nation court - that would be done by the official Fire Nation Royal accounts. Hemadri, on the other hand, would have a very popular Twitter account. People think it's Naoki doing it, but it's actually Lady Uma, which is something only Juziya, Naoki, and Sozui know. Juziya and Sozui would be covered by the official Fire Nation Royal accounts as well.

Zhi along with San would do popular desert, bug and geology videos/blogs across social media. They'd be like the Avatar version of Shane and Ryan with some Bear Grylls thrown in. Great rapport and really fun videos that actually teach people things. Ping and Amak sometimes show up. There are many calls in the comments for Ping to take his shirt off. Ping is mortified.

Meili would not do social media often but when she did it would be about her clinic and/or charity work, never anything personal. Meili is a very private person. Tupilek would keep up social media for Bridge Clinic, and would have a private FB account to keep in touch with his family down south.

Sayuri wouldn't do social media, except for her wholly anonymous and totally secret Tumblr account, which would be full of weird fandom stuff. She'd have the shoelaces, okay?

Zu also has a private Tumblr account, also full of weird fandom stuff. Neither of them know the other one has one. When they eventually find out, they will think it is H I L A R I O U S. They still won't follow each other, however, because they both understand the importance of having their own thing to themselves.

Orchid would be a social media QUEEN. Mommy blogger. Business woman blogger. Come see gorgeous Zaofu blogger. Beauty tips blogger. Sponsored blogger. Absolutely. Iris? No time, could not care less. Rose? Oh god no. She'd have a sophisticated website for her jewelry business but it would be done professionally, she'd have nothing to do with it. Poppy? Twitter. Where she would be known for being just savage to people who pissed her off. As would Jai, who would offend people on the regular. God help you if you attempted to troll one of them, because the other would come gunning for you.

Bu would probably blog every once in awhile, but not consistently. Pearl? No. She's as much offline as she can be.

Goba has a popular YouTube channel where he teaches Airbending meditation techniques and body strengthening exercises that anybody can use.

Katara II would have a YouTube channel about archival techniques, as well as Airbending history - which are mostly voiceovers, since she's not comfortable in front of the camera. She'd be well-known and appreciated, but more among the academic crowd. Tseten would enjoy social media, but wouldn't be consistent. A month of daily blogging and then six months of nothing while he'd be neck deep into his art.

Bhuti has one of the most popular travel blogs in the world. She'd be one of those people who would have an entire TikTok channel of her dancing with various people all over, that kind of thing. She's fun, she's engaging, she goes everywhere. Ever wanted to hear an air bison fart? Bhuti's got you covered. People love her, and she does lots of fun and spontaneous interviews as she travels as well.

So we know your undying love for Hukki and that you think Irosami might have some potential, but what are your other favorite LOK rarepairs?

Hmm..... I don't think about LOK rarepairs as much, but I do have a few. However, aside from Hukki and Irosami, most of them are more along the lines of "they intrigue me in theory but I would need to explore them more," rather than "I am actively invested in them." (The other exception to this is Makonora, which is actually perfect and I was so galaxy-brained for coming up with it.)

You've already heard most of them, but for the sake of the audience, I'll list some offhand:

Kai x Opal

Meelo x Zhu Li

Bolin x Ikki

Bumi II x Izumi

Wu x Asami

Mako x Kuvira

Wing x Eska

Bolin x Korra

Bumi II x Lin

Baatar Jr x Asami

Tarrlok x Korra

Iroh II x Kuvira

Bolin x Asami

Sokka x Lin

Mako x Yue

Aang x Korra

Jet x Lin

Uhhh.... I think that's all I've got for now, but I'm always open to trying new things.

LOK 8 and 23 please?

thanks!! Choose Violence ask game

8: common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

mako being a bad character or abusive!!!

But that is so obvious with me, so lets say Mako being a cop is bad. Look, I don't think it's the best storytelling decision in the world, but at the end of the day it's not that bad and people who say 'it doesn't make sense' are just lazy imo. Sometimes people who grow up poor and marginalised become police officers even if it doesn't 'make sense' in your head because that's how the world works, my god, the way people act like they have never heard of a non-white or working class police officer before (a lot of police officers are working class anyway lol). Mako has a sense of right and wrong and would be attracted to a job that offers both independence and also a stable job with a track record (anyone who argues he should have joined the white lotus misunderstands him imo). Also, it's just a storytelling decision, it's easy to write a fun conspiracy plotline around a law enforcement character which is what his plot in book 2 is. I don't know why we're specifically hating on one storytelling decision when cops are the main characters in a fucking tonne of media, I don't blame the writers for leaning on a popular trope to try and write a fun storyline. And once that plot point is up, Mako being a cop barely impacts his character until the comics apart from wanting to ditch Wu to go back to his job. It's not that big of a deal.

Would a version of legend of korra that actually examined police and state violence be more interesting? Sure. But I really think people are expecting far too much from the politics of a franchise that was aimed at children and mostly written and helmed by white middle class liberals, and that's clear from the politics of ATLA as well. Sometimes something fictional is not an endorsement of real world politics, and that doesn't mean that you can't critique or analyse it, but literally just saying 'mako wouldn't become a police officer because he's poor and was a criminal' and then refusing to actually engage with other parts of his character or the plotting of the story, just annoys me. Let's stop reducing fictional characters down to identity and leftist tumblr politics.

All this said for what is a badly written storyline in the show, but people don't want to engage with pacing or dialogue or setup and payoff, they just go 'it's bad because of it's politics?' and it's just bad media criticism. Analyse the politics, by all means, but only analysing that is so annnoyingggggggggggggg.

23: ship you've unwillingly come around to

uhhh like i didn't like Wuko much at first but i've come round to it for years now. Maybe Makroh because I'm an Iroh II hater but don't mind that ship lol but honestly I never cared that much about shipping. I have an interest or I don't.

I suppose I have come around to Makorra in that I like Mako and Korra enough to not hate them together. I'm still so lukewarm on that pairing but it is Mako content so you know I have read it.

keep hope in your pocket

Pairing: Iropal (Iroh II x Opal Beifong)

Rating: T

Chapters: 1/1

Summary: Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, Iroh and Opal try to make the best of it - for each other's sake, at least.

Written for the @avatar-wtf-weekend Day 1 prompt: “when was the last time you let someone in?”

(Warning: snippet contains some angst)

• • • •

“I know this isn’t what you wanted,” Opal said quietly as she stepped out onto the balcony.

Iroh didn’t look back at her as he stared out over the Calderan skyline. “Is it what you wanted?”

He could hear the sadness in her voice. “No. I…I loved Bolin.”

Iroh winced. He knew that. Everyone did. He still couldn’t believe that everyone had gone along with this, acted as if this was okay. That it was real. Their marriage was a political move and nothing else, used to clean up the mistakes of people he hadn’t been allowed to stop. Sometimes he hated Suyin. It didn’t matter that she was now, as of today, his mother-in-law. If she had taken control when President Raiko and Tenzin had asked after the assassination of Earth Queen Hou-Ting, none of this would have happened. Maybe Opal would be married to Bolin now instead of him. She would be happy.

“Then why did you do it?” Iroh asked as he held the railing in a white-knuckled grip.

She came to stand beside him. “Because King Wu needs our help. The Air Nomads teach that. Always do what you can to help others.”

Opal was far nobler than him, it seemed. Iroh sighed. He supposed that none of it mattered now anyway. It was all said and done.

“Was there someone else?” Opal asked quietly. “Someone that you cared about?”

Iroh thought of the woman with raven hair and green eyes. He’d admired her from a distance but he’d been too much of a coward to ever say anything. Now it was too late.

“No,” he said quietly. “There was no one.”

New Fic: I Don't Like Your Attitude

Written for @avatar-wtf-weekend: valentine's edition day two prompt: Oh.

I actually pulled my car over to make notes when this ship occured to me. Boob sass x boob sass seemed so brilliant. Sadly, I then discovered there are only four Korra/Ginger fics on AO3. Every one of them is actually breaking them up for another ship, E-rated, and half of them also break up Irosami. Sooooo we're fixing that. May I therefore present the endgame Ginorra fic we all deserve. Or not. But it's the one that exists, at any rate.

Title: I Don't Like Your Attitude Relationships: Korra/Ginger, Iroh II/Asami Sato, slight Bolin/Prince Wu (for which there is only one fic? what???) Summary: Nuktuk was NOT the hero of the south, and Korra wants to make damned sure everybody knows it. But Ginger's career is counting on a sequel.

[believeinyourotp]

Best of the best

Korroh: I mainly shipped this because I said forget Mako.

Love it

Love is a strong word

It’s fine

Boroh: would love to see them chill together.

Bolin x Eska: I would love to see Bolin stand up to her bizarreness

Bolin x Opal

Kai x Jinora

Korrasami: they’re good, I think it’s interesting they have an ex in common and cheated on both of them, then Mako just became their friend lol

Kya x Izumi: the thumbnails cute

P’li x Ming-Hua

Pema x Lin: Tenzin’s love interests

Pema x Tenzin: they’re cute and have a nice little family

Zaheer x P’li: Bad ass tall girl x the leader of the Red Lotus

Tenzin x Lin: I love the idea of what ifs between them, but canonically just can’t see it

Wu x Mako: Ok, even though I haven’t watched the final season in its entirety, I just don’t think it’s one of the dynamics I’m into

Zhu’li x Varrick

Makorrasami: if they decided to become a polycule, that’d be cool

Kya x Lin

Mako x Iroh II: I’m not sure how to feel.

KorRyu: they were funny when they first met

HuanKorra: I think I did ship them a bit for a while, now not really

Jinora x Skoochy: the potential it had, yet they never met, and we never seen Skoochy again lol.

Only as friends

Bolin x Korra: I mean I can see why some people ship it, but I feel like it reminds me of my past relationships where I was put in an awkward position, where I felt that I should like them, I should date them, but the romantic feelings never came.

Irosami: I feel people shipped this because Mako was a jerk and a cheater, I don’t think that means he can’t be redeemed, but I feel sometimes his character needs time to win back the heart of his the watchers.

Bolin x Asami: Such pair the spares, I can’t see it romantically happening.

Opal x Korra: Gonna be honest, I might need to watch the series again, legally and safely.

Masami: They could have been cute but…

Kuvira x Asami: Well Kuvira is her friend’s enemy…

Makorra: F R I E N D S

The Krew

Kuvira x Korra: Maybe after a redemption arc

Bataar x Su: Nope, he lied

Kuvira x Zhu’li: ?

Iroh x Eska(?): Royals but no

Amon x Korra: He’s too far off in age, I have standards to uphold

Absolutely Not
