I heard sapphic week is/was happening?

ID: digital art of a Polaroid photo depicting Yue and Suki from the chest up, in a photobooth. Yue is sitting in front, smiling off to the side, while Suki kisses her cheek from behind her. Yue wears a galaxy-print headscarf and blue outfit. Suki wears a green tank top, and has red eyeliner and lipstick on. Suki has short hair in a ponytail, and an undercut. She also wears a gold helix earring. The bottom of the polaroid reads "Yue (heart) Suki". END ID

Graphic eyeliner gf 🤝 cool fabric gf,

Looking pretty in pictures.

I also hc both of these two as aspec; Suki as aromantic and Yue as asexual! What are green and purple color schemes for if not aspec headcanons 🤔

every member of the gaang is aspec and i'm going to tell you why whether or not you want me to

- aang: aroace. this one is obvious, and if you've followed me for any length of time you know i love spreading aroace aang propaganda. aunt wu practically makes it cannon in the fortuneteller episode- she doesn't see any romance in his future. also, aang's colour palate is the aroace flag, so that's always a plus.

- sokka: purely vibes, and not canon compliant in any way, but he's demiromantic. I don't really have an explanation for this, but he just strikes me as someone who forms deep emotional attachments before wanting anything more.

- katara: she's grayace and you can't tell me otherwise. she might be feeling more attraction one day and less the next, and she just vibes with it. change is part of her element. romance, however, is a priority in her life. physical attraction, on the other hand, is not.

- toph: alloaro. I love the concept of a toph whose relationships with her (found) family are the most important in her life, who maybe has a qpr with someone, who raises her children with support from the rest of the gaang. it make me ridiculously happy and fits her character so so well!! she is quite literally a strong independent woman, and doesn't need a partner to be happy and feel fulfilled.

- suki: also alloaro!! or maybe grayaro, whatever you like. suki seems to me a person who really doesn't care that much about romance. her family and friends are a true priority for her, and while i think she wouldn't mind a qpr or a romantic relationship, it's sort of at the back of her mind. her duty always comes first.

- zuko: ace, and possibly arospec. my boy is busy regaining his honour. chasing the avatar. conquering his internal conflict. building trust with the gaang. running a country. you're gonna tell me he has time to worry about seggs and romance?? look me in the eye and say it. but in all seriousness, zuko is a hopeless (but aspec) romantic who loves attraction in novels and plays, but not in his own life. he just doesn't have time for that.

Summary:

They sit in silence for several moments, with Bumi chewing his lip and squeezing the stress ball in his hands while Kya twists the Rubik’s Cube just enough to put Bumi on edge about her messing it up.

Finally, Bumi blurts out, “I don’t think I’m ever going to want to have a crush on anyone.”

Kya doesn’t look up. She just shrugs and says, “That’s fine. Dating is overrated anyways.”

or: five times bumi came out without using the word + one time he called himself aromantic

ID: Digital art of Suki, Azula, Katara, and Toph from Avatar. They are all dressed in various casual modern styles. Azula is sitting on a stool while the other three stand around her, putting their hands on eachother's shoulders or their arms around their waists, being friendly with each other. All are smiling. The background has a gradient like the aromantic flag. In the foreground, a ribbon runs across the screen, striped with flags, one for each character. Suki and Toph have the aromantic flags, Azula has a greyromantic flag, and Katara has a demiromantic flag. END ID

In honor of my aro positivity post gaining another bucket of notes the other day, here's some characters in A:TLA who I headcanon as arospec! I think Suki is alloaro, Azula is a grey/frayromantic lesbian, Katara is demiromantic and Toph is aroace.

[ID: Digital art of the Gaang + Yue. Sokka and Aang are sitting in front of a pink couch, both crosslegged, holding xbox controllers. Aang is holding theirs normally and Sokka is doing some sort of gesture, the controller gripped only in one hand. Zuko is behind Sokka and is clinging to him like a koala, both arms wrapped around him. Zuko's feet are stretched out to the side and up on the couch, but just barely. Toph sits on the couch, facing no direction in particular, lounging. Yue peeks over the top of the couch, her head resting on her folded arms. Suki and Katara are standing behind the couch, gesturing in animated conversation. Katara's hair is down, and she wears a yellow sundress, and has a water motif pendant as well as two gold chain necklaces. She has earrings in her lobes. Suki has her hair short with an undercut, and wears a moss green halter top and a white choker with a small aro flag. She has two helix piercings. Little of Yue is visible, but her hair is down and she wears and ace ring. Toph wears a polo tee with big stripes representing the aro flag. Sokka wears a blue baseball tee and cargo shorts, and a white choker of several rectangular pieces. His hair is in a wolftail. Aang wears an orange beanie with a blue arrow, an orange tee, and blue pants. Zuko's hair is long and falling over his shoulders and Sokka's. Most are smiling, except for Sokka, who has his mouth open, maybe smugly announcing his victory. END ID]

they're all aspec and/or arospec except Sokka because i said so :)

[ID: Digital art of Yue and Suki mid-tango. Suki is in the lead position, and has on red lipstick and eyeliner, a black vest over a green collared shirt, and aromantic flag cufflinks. Yue is in the follow position and wears her hair up in a bun, and has on a sparkly lavender dress, moon earrings, and an ace ring. The background is a gradient reminiscent of ace and aro flags. END ID]

AU where Yue and Suki are on a dance team and kick everyone's butts, featuring aro-ace solidarity and gnc Suki.

[ID: Zuko, Sokka, and Suki. Zuko lays flat on his back, wearing a red tunic. Sokka, shirtless and with his hair down, lays on Zuko's chest, his head pillowed on his arms. Suki, wearing a green sports bra, lays with her head on Sokka's upper arm, curled towards Zuko. Her left hand is splayed on Sokka's lower back, a white ring visible on the middle finger. Zuko's right hand rests on Sokka's shoulder blade, a black ring visible on the middle finger. His other arm is outstretched. Sokka and Suki are both facing down, but Zuko's face is visible and he closes his eyes and smiles. His bob-length hair fans out on a grey pillow. Two other pillows lay abandoned to either side. END ID]

Cuddles.

[zukos-firebending]

[ID: Digital art. Sokka is seen from above, laying on his side on a brown and green surface. His hair is down and he wears only blue shorts. His expression is partially hidden by his hair but vaguely tense. END ID]

[ID: Digital art. Seen from the side, Sokka is on his side. Zuko sits in front of him, facing away from the frame. He has one hand resting on Sokka's hip which is wreathed in heat-lines. Sokka's head is pillowed on his arm; his eyes are closed; he smiles slightly. Zuko wears a tunic, shirt, and leggings; Sokka wears only shorts. Background has vague earth, plant, and sky coloring.
