Aka the best thing to have come out of @fyrelordzuko 's atla discord so far
Gran Gran deserves better than fucking Pakku
Unce Iroh deserves a love interest
Itās canonically established that Iroh can fucking get it with the ladies
Gran gran gonna get a man who can woo her
The new old people ship to show that you can find love even as a crusty old person:
Kanna (Gran Gran) x Uncle IrohĀ
Ship names: Kanroh and Ocean DragonĀ
Their first meeting has Kanna make a joke about how his Nephew certainly made an impression on the tribe when he first came
They have a lot of witty playful banter
Also a way too long courtship with way too much flirting
Iroh pulls out all the stops including horrible pickup lines
They drink tea and play pai sho together and go on cute dates and are wholesome
The New Jasmine Dragon opens on the south pole
Uncle Iroh dedicates songs to her on the tsungi horn during music night
Iroh constantly compares Kanna to the ocean/sea āwild and untameable, yet that is part of her beauty. She is as dangerous as she is giving and calmingā
Kanna doesnāt see Iroh has the āfearsome dragonā but as a campfire/fireplace. Warming and nurturing. It provides, but if left unchecked it can become uncontrollable and encompassing
She also sees him as a literal campfire because firebenders run hot and what its nice for her old bones you young folk wouldnt understand
She makes him be the campfire because I assume in the south pole burning fuel is expensive so he just sits there holding out a fire for her to cook over and she nags at him to make it bigger/smaller
Their grandkids and nephew respectively are horrified at their shmoopyness
Sokka and Zuko especially are in PAIN but this aint about them
Zuko may be the new fire lord but even he cannot stop uncle iroh from wooing his new lady friend (iroh: ur not the firelord of the south pole are u?)
zuko and Sokka are actually supportive and help Kanna and Iroh once they realise how happy they are with each otherĀ
They still think its kind of gross though
Tales of Necklace Carving
Iroh makes a PROPER NECKLACE FOR HER with an actual original design and not the fucking symbol of the water tribe what the fuck pakku
iroh is super philosophical in his design
Possible necklace designs:
a campfire but the flames turn into the ocean waves
a dragon swimming in the ocean to symbolise their union
Zuko joins him (because of course this has zukka this is the atla renaissance what did you expect)
Zuko has about 700 panic attacks while he carves because heās terrified it wonāt be good enough
irohs sitting there like "have some calming tea nephew" but he's actually also panicking and has gone through like 10 cups already
they all drink way too much tea and it's just this huge mess
Design theme since all of these are marriages between different cultures: silk or the stone in the colour of the other nation?
As mentioned before: panic. The tea is only helping a little
zuko sits next to irohās philosophical designs like hhhhh boyfriend likes boomerang.Ā
He needs help with the design thatās just how it is. This man is not competent at this. Yes weāre bullying zuko as we should
Would totally try to do kataras hair loopies
is like on the other side of the village making his own bethrotal necklace for zuko and it's literally just as bad as zukos cause dumbasses who carve each other bad necklaces stay together
would corner uncle iroh in a blind panic on 2 hours of sleep and ask him what a fire nation betrothal necklace is supposed to be like
Sokka tries to carve a turtle duck on zukos engagement necklace
The entire tribe can just hear muffled screams and curses from.the chief's igloo and the firelords place For like fucken five days or sth
Asking the family for permission
IMAGINE IROH ASKING SOKKA AND KATARA FOR THEIR PERMISSION TO MARRY KANNA THAT WOULD BE SO CUTE
And just imagine the sheer chaos of kanna having to ask zuko
She wouldn't ask she would just smile politely and inform him that she is marrying his uncle and theres nothing he can do to stop her
Hakoda and Iroh laughing their asses off that sokka and zuko are both trying to propose but are just struggling so fucking bad
ALSO SOKKA HAVING LIKE REGULAR TALKING SESSIONS WITH YUE DURING THE FULL MOON
AND WHEN ZUKKA GET TOGETHER ZUKO JOINS THEM ONCE AND SOKKA IS LIKE THIS IS MY BOYFRIEND I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH I HOPE YOU TWO GET ALONG
And at some point zuko asking the moon for permission on top of everyone else
And yue fucking appears to him in her full moon spirit glory
And is like you are stupid but you love him so go get him tiger
And zuko is just the most unsmooth and awkward and yue is like ah yes mister let's do an activity together has found his match finally
And she just smiles and lets him
Maybe she makes him feel better abt it by telling him abt "do u wanna do an activity"
Zuko asking katara for permission and being so fucking scared about it
please don't kill me scary lady dot jpeg
Katara approves. Except for how she will bloodbend him into the ocean if he hurts her brother. But thatās just common sense
Yes maāam message received loud and clear
katara is a feminist icon and wouldn't want to only have aang ask just cause she's the girl so she asks appa. Appa approves
literally while this is all going down bato and hakoda are realizing that they've been dating for five years without noticing
They join the necklace carving
bato and hakoda originally didn't even intend to do it separately bc they kinda already decided to get married but bato gets so fuckin tired of his stupid boyfriend and his boyfriends stupid son YELLING that he's like uhhhh im gonna go have some Calming Tea
the chaos of like katara and sokka getting really hyped about sea prunes and zuko and aang jusy share this look of utter disgust like this is the price for marrying these two beautiful people. sea prunes.
Plot twist; iroh likes them
Because of course he does
