Part 1: My favorite headcanon is Kya spent way too much time with Uncle Zuko and it shows.

She was definitely taking notes from him. From the hairstyle to the facial expressions (and I’ve gathered plenty of screenshot proof). 😄

The new art of young Kya II from her solo comic, along with the leaked footage from the upcoming "The Legend of Aang" movie, has officially convinced me of one incredibly precious detail.

Have you noticed Kya’s hairstyle? Look closely at those loose side-bangs and the way her hair is framed. Now look at Uncle Zuko.

This is now my official headcanon: Zuko, our favorite dutiful 'girl dad', used to braid young Kya's hair when she was a kid because it was the only hairstyle he actually knew how to do by himself!

He probably just learned a simple, practical style that also happened to be traditional in the Fire Nation, and little Kya loved it so much that she decided to stick with it.

Young Kya to Elder Kya: Consistently pulls her hair back and leaves those long side-bangs. This is pure Zuko (or even young Azula) aesthetic. It is a very distinct fashion marker of the Fire Nation.

It’s so interesting how Kya completely avoids traditional Water Tribe hairstyles for some reason. Water Tribe hair is always all about intricate braids, elaborate twists, ponytails, and a bunch of authentic accessories like blue beads, ribbons or hair wraps.

This isn't a traditional Water Tribe style at all. It is uniquely Uncle Zuko's style. He was the closest family friend, and this detail basically screams that he was that "cool uncle" who spent a lot of time babysitting the kids.

Uncle Zuko hairstyle… and fighting style.

The facial expression identity between these two characters just amuses me so much😅:

I just can't stop comparing screenshots of these two. I have no idea how much time Zuko spent with this family for their daughter to completely pick up his facial expressions.

Either that, or I have a very serious question for Katara.😏

Recently rewatched a bit of LOK’s Book 2 and it’s surprising how much the Kataang sibling bickering has nothing to do with them directly calling Aang a bad father, or even a neglectful one. I think stating from what we see shown here as a black and white “Aang was a bad father” take is really reductive to the dynamic happening there.

The whole reason Bumi and Kya are angry is specifically Tenzin and his behavior. He’s entirely dismissive of their feelings of inadequacy for not being airbenders (at the time, at least, for Bumi). He doesn’t acknowledge the special bond he had with Aang and just assumes it was Kya and Bumi’s own choice to be slightly more distant. They’re not angry at Aang for favoring Tenzin, they’re angry at Tenzin for not being thankful for that special bond he had and trying to pretend that Kya and Bumi’s feelings were completely unimportant, or even incorrect.

There’s not a point throughout the episodes in which it comes up where they even imply that Aang didn’t care about them. They just point out that Tenzin had a lot of bonding time with Aang due to his responsibilities as the next and only other Airbender. There’s also a lot of evidence that Kya and Bumi were not 100% interested in being fully immersed in the air nomad culture, which to a degree shows Aang’s maturity to let his children choose their own paths. Hell, he even tells Tenzin from beyond the grave to not try to be a carbon copy of him and do his own thing. Kya directly states she didn’t pay attention to the air nomad history stuff. Using the “he took Tenzin on more vacations so he loved him more” thing is purely a fan reach. The older siblings only brought it up to point out that Tenzin was blissfully and hurtfully ignorant of the responsibilities his existence placed on his father and how it affected their family.

I don’t think Kya or Bumi are mad at Aang for how much he had to focus on Tenzin, nor were they at the time. I also don’t think there’s anything there that says he never spent time with his other kids. Older siblings of low-functioning special needs children often feel left out in ways, but they’re not mad at their parents for having to put a lot of energy into their younger sibling. It’s an unfortunate situation, and in Tenzin’s case, when said younger sibling tries to write off those feelings, it sucks. But I think both of them are mature enough to understand the pressure Aang had. And the fact Tenzin didn’t appreciate that pressure would be infuriating.
