Avatar Kyoshi interacting with people in her 200s: 

[truly-fantastic-me]

Contrary to popular belief in the fandom, Avatar Kyoshi did a lot more for the world than the series give her credit for. (And I honestly really hope the Shadow of Kyoshi will actually go into and confirm this because honestly, the more I learn about my mother the more annoyed I am about the “Kyoshi was a Terrible Avatar™ because she did nothing while Chin took over the EK blah blah blah.” Even before I discovered my memories, that theory just sounded way off. The woman lived to be 230 years old! There’s no way that the Dai Li and the Kyoshi Warriors were her only contributions) 

So here is a list of some of the things that she accomplished. 

Women’s education. Before Kyoshi’s time, in most places around the world, girls weren’t allowed in schools.  

Basic human rights for women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and disabled people. 

Stood against the incarceration of people of color. Yes, whiteness wasn’t a thing in the Avatar world, but colorism was. 

Safe transition for trans people. Introduced the idea of using gender neutral pronouns. 

Made it legal in most places outside the Earth Kingdom for same-sex couples to get married 

Basically told every world leader to feed their goddamn people or else and it worked 

Founded hundreds of homeless shelters, abuse shelters and they were all gender-inclusive 

Made laws that were more for the rights of the people rather than the greed of the government. The poor gal had to constantly travel around the world because world leaders decided to make stupid laws. Crime rates went down to a manageable point because of this 

Safety requirements for marine travel (i.e. enough lifeboats for everyone in the event of a sinking) 

Scientific Research. My mother was also quite a bit of a scientist. Here are some of the things she discovered. 

The gravitational pull of the earth, sun and moon. 

The fact that there are other planets out there and stars are just burning balls of gas and light millions of miles away 

Plate tectonics. Come on, guys, how else did she manage to split the land without causing so much damage?? 

The little-known fact that combustion bending can be reverse, if caught before hitting the target. It’s how she learned how to dismantle bombs as made in her time. 

The fact that metalbending is entirely possible, but couldn’t tap into it. 

How to design almost storm-resistant ships. She figured out that the more flexible an object, the less likely it is to break. She designed ships to move with the water during a storm rather than against it and because of that, the success of her shipyard went up tremendously. 

That the human brain is a complex organ and that there are many factors contributing to how one functions. Psychology 

The world called her crazy for her scientific theories, but of course, she was right about 99% of them.

Conclusion: My mother was fucking badass

Avatar "I killed Chin the Conqueror" Kyoshi loves cats. If that's not the cutest thing ever, I don't know what is.

tumblr post that is clearly a sign from Kyoshi:  “You are moving toward the best version of yourself whether you see it right now or not, and everything is going to turn out just fine.” 

me: bULLSHIT 

Kyoshi, communicating with me via emotion: You say as you ‘like’ that post. 

me: I know.

Me: -stands up for myself for the first time in my life-

Fact: Avatar Kyoshi is a -my last name that I am not revealing because privacy- 

Evidence: 

-loud voice (she has used her loud voice when training the Dai Li and the Kyoshi Warriors, and when doing governor things on Kyoshi Island. We have seen this when she tells everyone that she killed Chin the Conqueror) 

-steals my grandma’s recipe sausage balls during the night

-dances like a doofus when steering her ship (I literally felt her dancing to a family favorite on the radio at lunch) 

-sarcasm ‘n sassiness 

-stubborn af

-can literally talk for days straight  

Conclusion: Avatar Kyoshi is a  -my last name that I am not revealing because privacy- and you cannot change my mind.
