I think in between the time Hakoda left for war and the time we see him he lost a lot of weight from what we can see, probably bc he didn’t always think eating was such a priority with all the stuff he was responsible for. So batos always shoving food on him and making sure he’s taking care of himself 🥺
I love when this kind of thing is explored, especially with Bato making or giving Hakoda food as a love language. Thank you!
i'll say it cuz everyone else is a coward: t4t bakoda. both of them are trans. kya was also trans too so at one point they were t4t4t. ultimate polycule. no one in the water tribe is cis, i've decided.
op your mind..... *chefs kiss*
hakoda was the first person bato came out to in terms of both gender and sexuality, he came out as gay a few months into being at sea at war, and came out as nonbinary a couple months after zuko's coronation. Both times, Hakoda was overwhelmingly supportive, and found the label of Bisexual thanks to bato's coming out (with some help from sokka and katara)
Yes! We love older people figuring things out and being supported by loved ones!
I like to think that Hakoda and Bato were basically dating when they were teenagers but it was so second nature to them that they didnt REALIZE they were dating until they got back together in the mid-40s and were like "hey.... wait a second...." also this means that in practice, kya had 2 husbands, which is what she deserves.
Yes! I love this. With them all being oblivious, or Kya knowing what’s up, or all of them being in a relationship together. Thank you!

ok i think that bato's arm would have been weakened by his injury, enough that he probably couldn't do the same kind of work on the ship as he had before. and like ... bato feeling like he has to force himself to "pull his weight" and bounce back and do exactly the same work, but hakoda notices that he's in pain, and just wordlessly adjusts his workload, assigns him tasks that don't require heavy lifting, etc. just. that he knows bato well enough to know not to make a big deal out of it 🥺
Yes!! The lifelong friendship helping Hakoda know what Bato needs 🥺
modern au hakoda and sokka have matching pride t-shirts with bisexual puns on them. bato acts like he's embarrassed to be seen with them as a fashionable gay with a few nice pins on his leather jacket but he loves his queer family 💖💜💙
YES. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if Bato bought them at least a handful of those t-shirts. He sees one with the worst bisexual pun in existence on it, and he buys it (in large and medium so they can match)

i think hakoda would go all out for anniversaries and bato would pretend to think it's silly but secretly he loves it so much and they both know that
Hakoda spoiling Bato for their anniversaries too? i love it.
