Hey, out of curiosity, do you have any ATLA ocs, and if you do, for your main oc[s], lore?
Also, any hc's about Azula, cuz I think she's my favorite character in the series :DDD
AYYY PUMPKIN LOVE YOU <33
Hmm,
One of my fav headcanons is that Zuko and Azula were very very close as kids, even closer than normal sibling pairs
But then Ozai began to mold Azula, causing her to become distant, and even cruel enough to the point she’d hurt Zuko just to gauge his reactions

ATLAVERSE OC LORE
you are going to regret ever asking about my oc lore :D
okay okay so basically
We have 7 ocs (<33), all based in a modern AU for ATLA. Its in todays world, so we have all of the tech of today. In this world, benders are the minority and the subject of a lot of prejudice. Some people love em, most hate them because they’re far more powerful than the average human and everyone is threatened by them. A few smart people make friends with the benders (big brain) but most everyone is terrified by them (peasants).
In Tabs' words:
"Benders in the modern world are a minority and are oppressed and demonized. Any person known to have bending powers are locked in jail, killed, or sent to illegal bending arenas to fight to the death.
The Avatar spirit has been missing for generations. There is no hope, there is no brighter future for benders.
The Avatar is gone. Lost.
Until he was found in the body of a man named Revon.
Revon, forced to hide for the entirety of his life, seeks not to bring benders and nonbenders together, but to eradicate every last one of the benders so that he alone holds all the power.
He will unite the world, under his rule.
That’s where a small rebel group, known as the Steel Hearts, comes into play. A vigilante group dating back to the times of Avatar Korra, it is led by a young waterbender. Once, her parents led the group, before they disbanded under mysterious circumstances.
For five years, the waterbender has languished in hiding. Once a formidable assassin and a powerful bloodbender, now only a tender of a tea house.
Her tranquil life is flipped on its head one day, when an airbender running from her past seeks the waterbender out, begging her to pick up the pieces of the decades old rebellion and put them back together.
And here is where our story truly begins."
Put simplistically,
nonbender government: bending is bad kill all benders
avatar: non-benders are bad, benders are bad, kill all of the benders so i can be the only bender and threaten the non-benders
the group: hey what the fuck
The characters are based off of my best friends, the people in the infamous Infinity Gauntlet GC, and the adults are based off our teachers (they love it i swear)
Characters below the cut!
Steel Hearts
Kara [she/her] (me) -> Waterbender, Bloodbender, trained assassin, weapon of choice: throwing knives <33, Orion's S/O
Akira [she/they] (@tabsters) -> Firebender, Lightningbender, (lore to be revealed), weapon of choice: pistol, Rexen's S/O
Rexen [they/them] (@iirexenii) -> Earthbender, Metalbender (second to only Ren), (lore to be revealed), weapon of choice: dual scythes, Akira's S/O
Ren [he/him] (@halfghostlyfires) -> Earthbender, can literally bend every sub-element, most powerful earthbender right after Toph Beifong, resident rich guy #1, weapon of choice: Kyoketsu-shoge (“KNIFE ON A ROPE” according to tabs)
Amara [she/her] (@serenaisproblem) -> Airbender, hacker, weapon of choice: pocketknife (violence when she has to)
Artemis [he/him] (this is the Artemis that Tabs and I refer to) -> Waterbender, resident rich guy #2, weapon of choice: handheld dagger (only resorts to violence when he has to)
Zephyr [they/them] (@im-just-here-for-the-comics-r18) -> Non-bender, absolute badass and will not hesitate to kill, weapon of choice: a goddamn flame thrower
Akio [he/him] (@tdog451) -> Firebender, one of the most powerful in the group, weapon of choice: also throwing knives and his firebending, if you haven't guessed by now, this is Kara's lost lost twin brother
Orion [he/him] (@yourlocalapplejuice) -> Airbender, doesn't do violence except to protect those he loves too, weapon of choice: airbending, Kara's S/O
Villains:
Revon: based off of my humanities teacher, has some history with Kara (we literally dont know what yet), the Avatar and Kara’s direct opponent, weapon of choice: throwing knives
Vexx: based off of no one because Vexx is creepy and weird and none of us like him, weapon of choice: literally any kind of knife and gun, Artemis’ direct opponent
Lilith: also not based off of anyone because she is terrifying, runs an illegal bending arena, both Rexen’s and Akira’s direct opponent, weapon of choice: gun
Those are the three main villain as of now, we’re still developing Amara’s and Zephyr’s
Backstories:
Kara: parents were assassins, bloodbenders, and leaders of the Steel Hearts, passed that down to Kara. Her parents ended up killing each other (no explanation yet <33)
Akira and Rexen: both were kidnapped at a young age and forced to fight in a bending arena. Rexen escaped first, but was forced to leave Akira behind. Akira finally escaped, met up with Kara's gang, then finds Rexen, and now those two make out at every opportunity after 6 months of being apart
Ren and Artemis: their stories are intertwined. Both were best friends in their youth, but Artemis’ parents being killed led to a rift in their friendship (if you want more on this specific one, tabs and I have a ficlet)
Ren: abusive parents, rich dude, but runs away, ends up getting kidnapped and arrested, his parents have put out a bounty on him
Artemis: actual loving parents, but they’re dead now (heheh) so artemis is forced to live on his own at 12, ends up being successful but chooses to look for his parents’ killer
Amara: oldest kid and has to take care of her siblings. After striking a deal with some pretty shady people, amara shoves her family in a safe place and runs. She is the first member of the steel hearts, and she is the one who encourages Kara to restart it
(We’re still figuring out Zephyr’s backstory lmao but I will put it in here soon)
YEAH THATS ABOUT IT IF YALL WANT SOME OF THE FICS ASK TABS OR ME AND WE’LL BE VERY VERY HAPPY TO SHARE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANKS FOR THE ASK, PUMPKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aelin being told directly to her face that Aelin Galathynius is raising an army whilst she just stands there utterly confused thinking “when the fuck did I start doing that?!” will never not be funny to me
i think this scene confirms that on some level, vox truly did love alastor, despite all of his manipulative and narcissistic tendencies. or at least, cared enough about al as a person and his approval to the point that a lack of it makes vox break down and want to kill himself and others. do i think that at least a part of vox’s feelings were anger and a hurt ego over alastor not falling for his manipulation? possibly. do i think that another part of vox’s feelings were simply idolization and that he’s gotten too caught up in his obsession? yeah. but also like… shedding tears over it? threatening suicide? starting a 70 year long feud over it? there’s genuine feelings somewhere in there
i think that every single one of us was either shocked or disgusted when we found out that henley is married during first minutes of the movie (i was both).
for my and your mental health, i’m going to look for signs and facts that confirm this theory! obviously, i will mention the things that contradict it as well (and there are some)
let’s start, then!
1) henley reeves-scanling
this one is a bit tricky. “henley” “announced” during their “show” that she got married and adopted a two-part surname. isla fisher and jesse eisenberg admitted during their screen talk at apple store in london in 2013 that j. daniel atlas and henley reeves are NOT their real names. henley is actually her last name while “j. daniel atlas” is completely fake.
so, scanling could be daniel’s real last name. if we think hard enough about it, they could use his real surname instead of the fake one to fool everyone — henley reeves-atlas would be too obvious. one thing i appreciate is that they didn’t make her just take her husband’s last name and abandon her own. that’s good. just holding onto any good things they did about henley’s character
2) pregnant while still being a horseman?
this is the part that wouldn’t make sense at all. in now you see me 2 lula said, and i quote, “by the way, i am so sorry that henley left you. (...) you know what i heard? about henley? i heard that she got tired of waiting around, she lost faith and so she asked for an out and the eye gave it to her. (...) i mean, maybe she got sick of you. you ever think about that? control issues... maybe you just didn’t tie her up tight enough”.
so, it doesn’t really make sense for them to still be together after she left nor for the baby to be daniel’s. even if it was his and henley did leave, i don’t think atlas is the type of man to be a deadbeat dad.
the only way to support the theory is to think that they just made it all up and fooled everyone — but it’s also very impropable. we have a hole in the theory, then.
3) suburban life and the ring
finally something we can work with!
daniel and henley could live together and be a married couple if we really think hard enough. they would work for the eye, obviously, but just kind of in a different way — like, going on dates just to rob a bank and climb a building. i can see that. although, three kids is just crazy.
the ring is the most possible part of the theory. daniel is not the guy to just compliment something and he did call the ring impressive. their smirks also suggest that he was the one to give her that diamond (and that he did not, in fact, miss his chance with her).
the fact that he would risk her health and the child’s just for a magic show is just ooc. that’s all i’m going to say.
4) “it’s good to have you back”
this whole scene was a bit suspicious if you ask me. the way henley’s face was hidden by her hair, but you could still see she was trying not to smile, daniel’s lips pursing. everyone was staring at them too! (merritt and charlie knew, i am sure of it)
it looked as if they tried not to break the character and fool everyone. which they failed to do.
5) jacket and having something to lose
the jacket is not really important here. it was just really sweet and made me go crazy, no big deal.
HOWEVER!
i found it weird that they were suddenly on the same side. i mean, okay, it wasn’t weird — henley had kids at home and daniel was just scared that he would lose another friend of his.
but if you think hard enough you will see that it could have another meaning. “we are done sacrificing ourselves, i’m sorry, it’s not worth it.” they were surprisingly quick to be on the same page. maybe, just maybe they had too much to lose at home — their children.
OH. and the fact that henley needed to find a sitter? we thought she had a husband? or, just maybe, she needed one because her husband came with her?
6) water tank and ring
daniel was way too quick with that ring idea if you ask me. there are two possibilities as to why he did say it that fast — he was either constantly thinking about his love being married to someone else OR he bought her the ring with purpose.
awh, and the hug after they survived. warmed my heart. totally married, btw.
7) the end
yeah, the way she looked at him while dylan-hologram said that it “warmed his heart to see the horseman being back together”? totally together, i just know it.
OKAY, thank you very much for reading this VERY delusional post and have a lovely day / night / whatever
