there’s a lot of thematic significance when it comes to the reveal of roku’s backstory as sozin’s childhood friend, but i think a facet of this history that feels particularly apt is the knowledge that roku clearly came from extreme wealth and was a high-ranking member of nobility. knowing kyoshi’s backstory from the novels—a homeless orphan who grew up in extreme poverty and was ostracized by the locals, then spent her teens working as a maid, then as a fugitive on the run with a gang of criminals, and even once she could fully assume her title of avatar, still doubted, belittled, and disrespected by the wealthy and powerful—it really highlights the disparity between not only their respective upbringings, but their respective successes in assuming the role of avatar.

both avatars tell aang they must be decisive and do whatever it takes—and while they both tell him this from experience, kyoshi’s learned experience is from making the right call, whereas roku’s wisdom in hindsight comes from having made the wrong call. from what we have glimpsed of roku’s life in the show, every moment of it (up until the disastrous, volcanic end) appeared facile and comfortable; other than his gradual estrangement with sozin, roku’s avatarhood was one of extreme privilege, especially when contrasted with the avatars adjacent to him in the cycle.

even though it is clear that roku was concerned with fulfilling his inherited duty as avatar, his inherited socioeconomic position hindered him from making necessary calls, sparing the life of a power-hungry warlord who made his imperialist intentions pretty fucking evident, due to his own personal interest in their shared history. the implication here is that the rich and powerful will not protect you, and they ultimately make bad calls to serve their own interests. this thematic undercurrent to roku’s legacy further reinforces why it was so crucial that aang, whose people and culture was violently wiped out by the same imperialist system roku was born into, was the only one truly capable of fixing the mess roku left behind.

White feminists always want to know how to not be racist. They want to be educated. Here is the beginning of that education. Use it.

The ramifications of Princess Yue being exposed to the culture of Kiyoshi Island.... I’m salivating

jatersade

ATLA AU where Yue survives the siege of the north and the northern water tribe decides to take a more active role in the war. They decide to send princess Yue to the earth kingdom as a political liaison, and the Kiyoshi warriors, looking for some way to help in the war effort like in canon, volunteer to accompany her on the journey as her guides and body guards. Yue is surrounded by Strong Warrior Women for the first time in her life and is capital “i” Inspired, meanwhile the Kiyoshi warriors adore her endlessly and decided individually after spending about 12 hours in her presence that they would kill and die for her.

Yue on what is essentially a road trip across the world, seeing trees and grass and dirt outside of the spirits oasis for the first time....cliffs and mountains and rivers .... sleeping outside under the stars..... “roughing it” the way she never has before (the way she’s never been allowed to before) and loving every minute of it.... the freedom of not only being outside the walls of her city for the first time and therefore beyond the control of the expectations placed on her, but also of realizing that women don’t need the permission of others to do what they want with their lives...that SHE doesn’t need permission.... an immaculate vision

jatersade

I want to make it clear that in this au Yue and Suki absolutely fall in love.

Tldr:

All her life she’s been trapped and restrained And in her one role quite contained But now she is free To enjoy life with me And travel the world, unashamed. ~Suki
