I think Zeisan and Khandro's lavender marriage went both ways. That's a lesbian and a gay man.
Just like they both knew Zeisan was really in love with Rioshon, Khandro was really in love with Tsenten. They teased each other about it playfully.

Oh, Zeisan. My favourite messy-ass high femme lesbian.
I like to think that if her marriage to Khandro manages to go down without anyone dying or starting an international incident (*looks at Sozin*), baby girl would pull an Edward II of England (keeping Rioshon by her side as a supposed "teacher/guide", but we all know the truth). Like I heavily doubt that she wouldn't find a way to keep her fingers in Rioshon's pot. Girl is down bad in a way that you only read about in the Bible.
(You know what they say. Don't let your husband get in the way of finding your wife.)
Off topic, but Zeisan's fun little habit of folding for her teachers...........girl. Stand up! I can't get 100% behind her and Dalisay because there's a very real chance she could have around 12 or so when that situation happened and Dalisay may or may not have been an adult, so yikes. A young adult, but still an adult.
Also, how old even is Rioshon? I mean, for her to be so renowned, she had to be in the game for a while, right? An airbender can become a master at super young (Aang had his tattoos at 12 if I remember correctly), so the tattoos don't indicate age. But she just seems........older? Mature? In her design next to Zeisan, she looks like she could be in her late 20s, early 30s. Or she could be the same age as Zeisan, but just mature looking.
(Or more likely, they didn't think Zeisan's age range all the way through. Because if you calculate her age from the years they give for her possible birth years, she was anywhere from 12 to 15 years old when she was involved with Dalisay, whose age isn't given. I doubt Taiso would have allowed Zeisan to be tutored by anyone her age though. Maybe Dalisay was a bit older, but not a full adult? The Fire royals are deeply strange.
She's anywhere from 20 to 23 years old when she gets engaged and that means that she could have started her training under Rioshon from as young as 17. We don't know how long her training went on for, maybe a few months? Years? For her to get so wrapped up in the Air Nomad way of life, it's giving long term immersion.)
I'm just rambling, but Zeisan truly is the messy it-girl that the Roku era needs. Every Avatar era has a messy it-girl and the Roku era finally has one.
Sorry for the late reply! I wholeheartedly agree with every single point you made here. Your rambling is appreciated!
Zeisan adds some necessary spice to Roku's era and we love her for it.
Official art of Khandro!
Living during Roku's time, he was the leader of the rebel Air Nomad group Guiding Wind that opposed the way the Air Nomads had started to work too closely with the other nations' nobility.
He was also the fiancé of Sozin's sister princess Zeisan, though they only had platonic respect for each other and their planned future marriage was a political move against the Fire Nation royalty.
We may KNOW hardly anything about them but I still have THOUGHTS and FEELINGS about them. Them being Zeisan, Rioshon, and Khandro.
I dislike the idea that Zeisan and Rioshon had unspoken love for each other and that they had to put their feelings aside so that Zeisan could dismantle the monarchy with some political marriage to Khandro. I think it should absolutely be spoken between them, considering how the Air Nomads were supposedly open and nonjudgmental about who a person loved. The concern was about how Sozin's closeted, homophobic ass would react, sure. But that doesn't mean I can't imagine Zeisan, Rioshon, and Khandro as a polycule behind closed doors. I cannot see the Air Nomads having a problem with that at all. And not only were all three of them romantically involved, but instead of it being some sad thing where Rioshon feels like she has to "give up" Zeisan to Khandro, wouldn't it be nice if she were the one to chaotically be like "You know what would really throw Sozin off? If you publically married Khandro." But behind closed doors it always has been, and always will be, the three of them.
It's still a tragic story of course, considering how this all ends. I have to wonder too--did Zeisan get caught up in the genocide? Or did she survive and spend the rest of her days seeking revenge on Sozin? Or did she and Rioshon and Khandro all manage to escape the initial assault?
made a lil banner for my art fight page, these two were my most attacked OCs
I didn't hit my target amount of attacks but my computer was out of action for half the month so I think I did pretty good considering
