Frenemies AU Memes part 9
One of my favorite Kyakoda headcanons is that Kya used to be the Village Weirdo when she was a kid — the clumsy, awkward girl who everyone assumed was cursed by the Spirits — but little Hakoda couldn’t help but be fascinated by her attempts at inventing stuff that would make life in the South Pole easier. (Like an angled throwing knife that returns to the thrower after each use!)
So when puberty hit Kya like an angry moose-lion, she suddenly became like Belle from Beauty and the Beast — and Hakoda, being a much more wholesome version of Gaston, realized the Village Weirdo was the only one for him. After roughly a dozen musical numbers, three of which involved the whole village and in two of which Bato told them to just get an igloo already, Kya was sufficiently wooed, convinced that the chief's son wasn’t just playing with her, and she agreed to marry him.
paying attention in the atla fan universe is knowing the hc about bato and hakoda but being deep atla subculture is knowing abt the hc where bato was kyas friend and it was her idea to bring him in
Ozai: Still can't believe–
Kya: We married–
Ozai: Baddies–
Hakoda and Ursa look at them confused
Ozai: In twenty years we should have a double wedding!
Kya: So Hakoda and I can renew our marriage and you and Ursa can tooooo!!!
Ozai: I'd die to see Ursa in her wedding dress for the first time again...
Ursa: Zai...
Hakoda: Ew.
Kya: He's right, super cheesy Ozai
okay I am Having Thoughts. Can you believe that Hakoda was probably just so scared when Bato got hurt because he didn't want what happened to Kya to happen to him? Because Kya probably died due to fire-related injuries, bcs Firebenders and Yon Ra was a Firebender and yeah.
Gods imagine how horrified he was when he turned around and saw Bato wreathed in flames, thinking that he's going to not only have see not just one but both of his lovers die at the hands of a Firebender. And he probably felt so, so guilty because he wasn't there for Kya when she needed him and then he wasn't there for Bato when he needed him. And he probably hauled Bato to the abbey hoping, praying that he'd live, that maybe he would be able to save him unlike how he couldn't save Kya. And every time he'd get a letter from Bato or something while he's on the mend he's so, so relieved because that's proof that he's still alive, and that Hakoda had managed to prevent this one shard of his heart from shattering.
And maybe just MAYBE he feels guilty because he thinks it's his fault, if only he was faster, more alert, stronger, whatever, he could have saved them. Kept Bato safe and unscarred. Saved Kya and made it so his children didn't have to grow up without a mother.
Why Ozai is not a bad character
This seems like an outrageous take but hear me out.
My first topic of discussion is how horrible ozai's childhood must have been. His father was Azulon and the way he treated Zuko and Azura was probably has a direct correlation to how his own childhood must have been. Like that scene where his dad slapped for spilling a cup of water. He also has burns all over his body from his father, you just don't see them in the show. Or the comics. Trust me. Because there's evidence that clearly points to this.
Second, about Zuko's whole scar. 13 year old Zuko is a known deceptive, manipulative, evil worm. Think about how quickly he switched sides from the "evil" side to team avatar (suspicious). Also, it's so obvious that his scar is fake and that he reapplies it every morning and night. You can even see cosmetics in the background, and there's one scene where it's not even on his face. like could they have made it any more obvious, yet all you LOVE manipulative and lying Zuko.
Next let's talk about URSA. OH MY GOD URSA. When firebird ozai threatened to mistreat Zuko to Ursa, he was just trying to defend himself from his evil manipulative child to his equally manipulative wife. She mistreated her children and him and escaped the second she saw the chance, without a second thought towards her family. Also, the thing that's most ignored by this ignorant fandom, is how she threatened his parents that she would release fire nation noble secrets unless she could marry their son, Ozai, who was terrified of her. Also, the way he proved his love by sacrificing his own parents for her in the comic "North and South".
For Azula, I think it goes without saying how insane Azula is, not to mention how ungrateful she is towards her father in the last episode after she's made firelord even though she's not even that talented, Ozai's words not mine. Ozai also had a good reason to mistreat Azula, seeing how much she mistreated the one he loved, Mai. Even in Azula's childhood she would lie to her parents, even her father even though he clearly cared about her and was a very good parent.
Not much can be said about Iron, considering we don't see much of their relationship. Consider how negligent and uncaring Iron was towards his brother after he lost his nephew, Lu Ten. Iron instead used this to bring attention to himself. He also betrayed Ozai, putting his manipulative nephew Zuko over his own brother.
Next is Mai, she lied to the firelord to get on his good side, and in the end just betrayed him to go with Zuko and avatar. Mai might be the worst character in the show, seeing as she betrayed not only one of her closest friends, but also Ozai, the man who truly loved her. Not to mention, the only reason she liked Zuko was because he joined the avatar and she believed his side would win in the end. Because all she ever cared about was making herself look good.
AANG!! Despite the fact that he had unresolved feelings for the firelord, he still took down his love and deep down should feel ultimately guilty.
Finally, Ozai is extremely attractive. Let's start with his lovely, clear skin and his high sculpted cheekbones and beautiful glossy olive skin. Not to mention his beautiful golden shining eyes, sculpted into the perfect almond shape. He was especially attractive in the New live action. Considering his beautiful ribbed abs, his long Lucious, black locks, and even in the final battle how he still looks put together and attractive and HOT.
We need to talk about one final point, how he just wanted his kingdom and his people to be the best it could possibly. All of his actions were just him looking out for his people. He mistreated some people but he could have been a lot worse. And he was a good king. He's just very patriotic in his love for Agni kai, his people, and the color red. and bonfires. and birds. He especially loved the beautiful sight of grey smoke falling over the beautiful, white, melting snow whenever he attacked the southern water tribe.
Also he is a good king.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk
the idea that all of sokkas relationship advice is from bato because hakoda and kya were teenage sweethearts and he had experience with literally nobody else is very funny to me. he literally has zero game he just got lucky that kya and bato were head over heels for him
