Hot take: Ozai has a pretty well-established personality. He's full of rage, a dangerous rage, but he can temper it effectively. He's jealous, possessive, and entitled, and when he doesn't get what he wants, the armour cracks. He's arrogant, attention-seeking, and flamboyant, but in the process tries to overcompensate for his inferiority complex. He can be blunt, just as much as he can be manipulative. And, best of all, Zuko and Azula's sarcastic streak definitely comes from him. xD

So, Leola = Startouch Elf, can shapeshift into a unicorn? Leola = gift-giver of Primal Stones. Was her "Last Wish" to empower humanity? To spare them from Luna Tenebris's wrath? And was she cast from the heavens because of it? AND WHO IS LAURELION?!

I may write this up in full at a later date, but my working theory is that Leola & Laurelion both have some connection to Aaravos. Leola took pity on humans and was cast out (Leola is the "falling star" in Ripples, who had "given" humanity something it was "never meant to have" + the "daughter of an elven leader" in the novelization of Book 1). Meanwhile, Laurelion was stabbed by Aaravos as *Laurelion* was the one to cast Leola out. In turn, Aaravos was also cast out, but could never find Leola as she'd shapeshifted into a unicorn.

So, in a nutshell, Leola is Aaravos's daughter, and everything that happened to her partly drives Aaravos's actions (amazing Viravos parallels if this is the case).

[chronicvillainstan]

If the Xadian leaders had like a once-in-a-century tea party or something, Aaravos 110% flirted with Queen Aditi and Zubeia.

Aaravos: Zubeia! Ravishing as always, I see.

Avizandum: Get away from my mate, elf. *narrows his eyes*

Aaravos: oh? You're Zubeia's mate? *grins* how unfortunate for her.

(Can totally see these two disliking each other well before Aaravos' imprisonment xD)

[achromatic-tune]

Leola’s last wish

Humans were going to be murdered, wholly. A "daughter of an Elven leader" begged for humans to be spared, and Tenebris compromised: humans were exiled to the west instead.

What if ‘the daughter of an Elven leader’ (elven leader: Aaravos?) is Leola, and that her last wish is for the humans to be spared? And perhaps died/being casted out by the stars (because she saved the humans?)

Maybe the Sea off the Castout came from this? Or maybe the bones in the sea is her (and she is somehow related to Aditi being swallowed?)

Also one thing to note is that she is depicted as a child in the star map in the opening (not sure how that helps)

Idk just a one am thought…

[chronicvillainstan]

And your 1 AM thought has now become my new theory to fixate on. I love this so, so much. It fits well with Aaravos' "those who fail tests of love are simple animals" (Leola's wish was a "test of love"), as well as his hatred of Xadia and the Startouch Elves (he lost his daughter to their arrogance, their pride, their hatred of humanity - which served as his wake-up call). Plus, there's some wonderful parallels to Aaravos and Viren. While Viren was prepared to do whatever it took to protect his family, "however dangerous, however vile," maybe Aaravos didn't, at first, and Leola's death was a direct consequence of his negligence and apathy (which characterizes the Startouch Elf mindset). In any case, I love this theory, and I hope some of it rings true to canon.

All I know is, we're about to get some Severus Snape, Zuko-esque backstory in the next two seasons, and I am HERE FOR IT!

[chronicvillainstan]

All I ask for in S6 of TDP is Startouch Elf lore & Aaravos proceeding to roast tf out of them before he attempts to destroy their civilization. No doubt he'll bitch about their "arrogance," lmao - he really has a thing about that.

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

ppl are so annoying “you can’t paint ur bedroom pink you’re an adult” i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige

[hojolove]

I had a sales woman in furniture store try and tell me not to buy a hot bubblegum pink loveseat because she wanted me to “think about the future”

Bitch, I am thinking about the future. I already got a hot bubblegum pink couch at home and now I need a loveseat to go with it.

[madgastronomer]

when I first bought my house, I announced my decision to paint my bedroom purple. I had wanted a purple bedroom for thirty damn years, you fucking bet I was gonna have one now. My friends decided, for some reason, that I meant what one of them referred to as “14 year old girl purple” (through what’s wrong with the colors a 14 year old girl chooses, I don’t know, even if they’re not what I want as an adult). They didn’t believe me until they saw the color on the actual wall, even thought they helped me pick out paints. My mother, meanwhile, decided to get worried that if I painted my bedroom a “dark purple”, it would be “depressing”. As if, with an entire house to live in, I would spend all my time in the bedroom, which I wanted to be dark because I would be sleeping in there. In the damn dark.

I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.

But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, “Oh yeah, that’s really pretty.” (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)

And the moral of the story is: Fuck ‘em, please yourself. Either they’ll come around, or you can safely ignore every question of taste they opine about for the rest of time.

This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be “mature” about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that I’m 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, I’m just like “marriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.” If they don’t like it then they don’t have to come to my wedding.

I would like you all to view my office. I’m thirty and my rainbow room is awesome, people can fight me

[spuffybot]

I’m thirty and my first big furniture purchase was a custom coffin shaped coffee table that opens up and is lined with purple crushed velvet. I would have loved it at 13 and I love it now. Growing up doesn’t mean you have to abandon what makes you happy.

[idareu2bme]

GROWING UP DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

[marzipanandminutiae]

the infantilization of color and decoration in the home is so bizarre to me- and such a new phenomenon

the world over, our ancestors painted their homes bright or deep or rich colors for centuries. they brought beautiful textiles into their living spaces, and made their utilitarian objects ornamented, or colorful, or shaped like whimsical things. in all cultures, at all class levels and ages, to the best of their ability. and we’re just supposed to throw away centuries of the basic human desire for beauty and visual interest because some asshole decided like 40 years ago that anything beyond a Pop of Color and an IKEA fake plant was “childish?”

fuck that

[sleepdeprivedpikachu]

i would like to add to this wonderful post that this applies to stuffed animals/plushies too!! if you’re an adult/older teen and you still sleep with plushies, good for you!! i have about eight plushies that i sleep with, i’ve been doing it since i was an infant, fuck the press, and enjoy your giant pit of squishmallows.

[quinn-the-human]

I would sell my soul to be able to paint any of my rooms. Landlord Beige and Eggshell are the worst colors. To each their own but the fact that some people have the ability to make their house colorful and then don’t for the sake of like modern minimalism is just mindblowing to me

[forgotn1]

I don’t think enough people realize that “interior design trends” are created by people who are selling houses. Those trends are for increasing your perceived property value and being neutral enough for people to envision what it could be with their personal style on it. If you’re going to live there for decades, paint it how you want and forget about resell value until you want to sell the house.

[the-darling-badger]

Harry and Hedwig were the perfect match because no other owl could have handled Harry's dramatics other than the great passive-aggressive diva herself, Hedwig

Startouch Elf Headcanons (TDP)

Much like mastering the Avatar State in ATLA, a Startouch Elf is only "at one" with their arcanum if they let go of all earthly attachments. But, but, BUT, we see the negative implications of this philosophy in different ways. I.e., Startouch Elves are aloof and apathetic, not only indifferent to the plight of humanity, but indifferent to anything that doesn't concern "tHE StArs."

This mindset also makes for distant parenting, so their society is a breeding ground for narcissists. Why Aaravos ended up the way he did is, in part, due to this.

Ironically, Startouch Elves interpret "earthly attachments" however they please, seeing as they're pretty attached to their racism - they believe the other elven races are inferior, as though they're the "purest" elves. They have some begrudging respect for the Sunfire Elves, but that's only because of their civilization & that their power is "one with the stars."

(I have more, but eh, I can't be bothered to type them all out xD)

[androgynosaurus]

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!

[cyberth0t-deactivated20260111]

me constantly releasing press junkets about my OCs like they are actual celebrities and i am their PR agent

[chronicvillainstan]

*relieved to know that I'm not the only one who does this and that we're all self-indulgent to some extent xD*

Fire Prince Ozai

[chronicvillainstan]

Reading Patience (the official Aaravos POV short story) reconfirms my theory that Aaravos genuinely has a saviour complex a la Viren's "bright future for humanity." On the surface, yes, he *appears* affectionate towards humanity. He admires their patience, their character, and it's strongly implied he "gifted" them with Dark Magic so as to help them prosper. At the same time, part of his contempt towards Xadia and his kind seems to derive from the way they scorned humanity ("The stars, after all, have no interest in the lives of mortals. The stars are arrogant, blinded by their own incandescent light...") But Aaravos' 'affection' is clearly not without fault. He uses people for his own ends, playing the cosmic game of chess. They're "vessels," puppets, figurines. In many ways, Aaravos is as arrogant and apathetic as his brethren. He, too, dismisses the lives of humans. But the key is that Aaravos sees potential in humans where his brethren don't. He's intrigued by their patience, their character, and we can see that in the way he preys on those with "strong minds and strong hearts." So this 'affection,' such as it is, is Aaravos' way of saying: 'humans have infinite potential, and I wish to help them fulfill it.' And why? Well, he sees an opportunity to be revered, to be worshiped for his greatness and hospitality. He would be the one to share the "brilliant light" of his kind. To be 'the one' that fulfilled humanity's true potential.

And if he's the one that 'saved' humanity, then the "arrogance" of Xadia isn't justified.

The Dos and Don'ts of Parenting, feat. Viren and Aaravos

[paranoiareigns]

Seeing the same people wishing death on viren lust after Aaravos like he has done nothing wrong ever in his life

[imminent-danger-came]

Aaravos is like, such a weirdo. He's just kinda a freak. "Our child! Our baby was so cute!" "I swallowed her" "I'm afraid his voice must come from your side of the family" "I am nothing if not elegant and efficient". Like hello, this guy just says shit

[theredhairedmonkey]

Who would win in a fight, Aaravos or Fire Lord Ozai?

I’m gonna be real with you for a minute: Ezran has a better shot defeating Ozai than Ozai has of defeating Aaravos. This is like if a fifth grader picks a fight with a Navy Seal. It’s going to go down exactly how you’d expect.

Aaravos would probably see Ozai in action and say “Adorable. You’re a cheeky little human, what with your silly martial arts. But do you know what the difference between you and I is? You can hit a board and it’ll break in half. I can hit a board and wipe the entire forest from existence.”

[chronicvillainstan]

OMG these two have to meet in a fic, Ozai would be so offended at the prospect of "some freaky blue creature" having more power than him
