[myname-isnia]

My sleep schedule's a bit messed up after a week of holiday and I can't fall asleep at a reasonable time while at my grandma's, so obviously I'm once again being plagued by my favourite kind of brain rot

Currently thinking about how there must have been a small moment of peace, a few weeks maybe, before Zaheer's breakout starts having major consequences but after Kuviren figure their shit out and everyone warms up to each other, where the Kids can relax and take a breather and act like the teenagers they never got to be

Because yes, I'm standing by what I said, none of the kids ever got to be actual teenagers:

Suiren had to grow up quickly after the loss of her parents. Her whole childhood was spent taking the brunt of Haya's violence, always aching, always hungry, with no one to turn to. The world's not fair, she learned quickly. You've got to help yourself because no one else will. You have to get Midori out of here. She trained herself not to cry, not to need as much food, not to require comfort. As she entered her teens, her childhood self had already starved to death. By the time she turned 13, she was already weary and burdened and exhausted, with no hopes for the future. By 15 she dropped out of school, and her only friends all that time were her sister and her moose lion. She can't think of anything but protecting Midori. No job in Gaoling will take her, deterred by her lack of schooling, her swamp heritage and what Haya had said about her. But money has to be earned somehow. Most girls like her end up in brothels, but she knows her prodigious waterbending skills could be put to a different use. By 17 she's an assassin, spending hours in the shower trying to scrub away the blood that is no longer there, focusing on nothing but the next mission, slicing the throats of those young girls with sparkling golden brown eyes that sometimes show up in the corners of her vision. The supposed carefree teenage years that she was owed are now way beyond her understanding.

Midori is not as weighed down with the weight of the world as Suiren, but she had her youth stolen as a consequence of what happened at the South Pole all those years ago too. Her trauma – Haya yelling at her for the slightest mistake, always calling her a useless child, calling her weak and a whiny brat for showing emotions natural to any child in her situation – left her extremely anxious, so quiet it's very easy to forget she's even there. Children are meant to be seen and not heard. And then there's the guilt, knowing full well her sister skips meals for her, takes punishments for her, endures beatings for her, no matter how hard Suiren tries to hide it. Midori hit puberty already wishing she was never born, maybe then Suiren's burden would have been alleviated. All of that in turn made it impossible for her to make friends, not to mention everyone knowing that her sister is the swamp freak, and their aunt's endless list of chores practically kept her chained at the house so she couldn't go out even if she had the chance to. She spent her 17th birthday fully aware her parents are out there, and allowed herself a childish hope that they'll be reunited, just like she always wished for thirteen long, horrible years. But her parents were killed within weeks afterwards. The day they got the news of their demise was the day she knew there was no going back. The day she knew that she was now an adult.

Bolin was protected by Mako for most of his life, ever since his parents were murdered when he was six, but even with his brother always looking out for him, what kind of childhood is living on the streets, running errands for triads? Still, out of the hundreds of homeless children in Republic City, he and Mako are the lucky ones, they were discovered and taken in by that probending trainer. But nothing in Republic City comes for free, and the two of them just so happen to make up two thirds of a team. His early teenage years were, he realises now, wasted, training in probending all day, every day. They go out on the field in every match they can but are still barely getting enough in earnings to scrape by, and life is only bearable because they can stay unconditionally in that room above the arena. He adores probending, the love and attention from his fans, but more often than not wishes he was part of the groups of friends that come to watch the games instead. He meets Korra at 16 and within the year has to witness her almost die three times, and despite all that training he was near powerless to stop it. After that was all over, he enlisted in Kuvira's army at 17, trying to get rid of that feeling of helplessness by deciding to help fix the mess created in the world during that year. But a soldier cannot be a child, and a child cannot be a soldier.

Kuvira's childhood ended the day her parents abandoned her at Suyin's front gate and never looked back, leaving her with nothing but the clothes on her back and a small sack of belongings. All for sometimes acting out, a result of them never paying her any attention as well as her possessing stronger bending than she could handle. It was easier to label her a problem child and get rid of her than to realise the cause of the issue. Suyin was different from her parents, extremely impressed by Kuvira's bending skills, to the point she made her her protege, and Kuvira, so unused to the praise, threw herself headfirst into making Suyin proud. Bending, dancing, training... It took up all of her free time, but as long as she gained Suyin's approval, she found that she didn't care. What use would she have for that much free time anyway? She's 17 and already made captain of the Zaofu guard as well as named the best dancer in the troupe. Some say it's because she's Suyin's prized pupil, but no one can deny that her metalbending is outstanding. But she never has time to hang out with the girls from the dance team or her comrades from the guard, and she pretends it doesn't matter to her, but she secretly yearns for that feeling of belonging. She sacrificed her teenagehood to make Suyin proud, and after all of that, despite everything Kuvira did, Suyin still doesn't consider her a daughter.

Opal is easily the most privileged of the five, being born into one of the wealthiest Earth Kingdom families does come with its perks, after all. But those grand metal domes of her home city that opened like flowers every morning were nothing more than gilded cages to her. Once it became obvious she wasn't a bender, her mother lost interest, happy to let her do as she pleased as long as she upheld the family image. It doesn't matter what hobby she chooses, nothing she achieves will be enough to rectify that her lack of bending brought an end to the rather short-lived Beifong dynasty of strong earthbending women. But she has to focus on something. Baatar shares their father's love for engineering, Huan has his art, the twins are total momma's boys with their metalbending games, Opal has nothing and no one. Somehow, even while distracted, her mother managed to keep her close enough that Opal could never meet someone without their first impression of her being through her mother's lens. She turned to books to cope with the loneliness, always dreaming of a life away from Zaofu. She's freshly 17 when she got it, but what started as a dream come true quickly turned into a nightmare once the northern air temple was attacked by the Red Lotus. Her childhood innocence and belief in the good of the world died somewhere within that cave.

My point is, the five of them deserve to act like teenagers, to gain back what they lost. Let Suiren rebel, let Midori make friends, let Bolin have fun, let Kuvira relax, let Opal express herself, LET THEM BE KIDS

And I just love to imagine what they'd get up to in that moment of peace. Maybe they gather together, a bit away from the RL, and play dumb games like Fuck Marry Kill. Playing with Kuvira is always a challenge because she knows exactly which buttons to push, which is how she got Suiren to say, through gritted teeth and lots of cursing, that she'd marry Mako, because the other two options were Suyin and Unalaq and she's a distinguished lesbian and not fucking a man thank you very much.

Maybe they go out in the early hours of the morning and climb to the top of the rocks hiding the cabin from view to watch the sun rise over Republic City. Maybe their games of truth or dare get so intense you wouldn't want to be caught in the middle of one. Maybe while on supply runs one of them sneaks some alcohol, and they proceed to nearly kill Bolin when he suggests playing spin the bottle. Maybe they go skinny dipping in the lake. Maybe they find secluded spots to practice and figure out how their bending all works together. Maybe they try to figure out ways to hide the hickeys Suiren leaves on Kuvira. Maybe they make fun of how Green Opal become blushy messes near each other. Maybe if preserving secrecy and anonymity wasn't such a big concern they'd sneak off to attend festivals in small surrounding towns. Maybe after long days they collapse and sleep in one big pile together. And maybe the RL know full well what the five of them are doing, but given that they're anarchists and naturally lax with rules, they decide to just let them do what they want, all the while reminiscing on everything they got up to as teenagers.

The five of them are in their early to mid twenties and about to become the third generation of the Red Lotus setting out to try and change the world, hopefully with more success than their predecessors. But maybe, before they do, they'll get to act like dumb, careless teenagers like they were always meant to, just one last time.

#this took me literally three hours to type out #why did i do it my god there are only two people max who care #the sky is getting light please kill me #but okay let's tag this properly #i took some creative liberties with some of the backstories bc lok has a problem with not fleshing out their characters #so i think i can do what i want #okay? okay #and when it comes to backstories... #alexa play seventeen by marina #take a wild guess how old I'm turning lmao #and also i realise a lot of this will never happen between these guys bc of all their issues #and also that they just broke out zaheer and the world leaders have already lost their shit #but hey #a not-a-girl can dream right #also it's my fic universe and i do what I want #fucking sue me #also yes #opal 100% has trauma from the last three episodes of book 3 #and it will 100% get addressed when I get to writing that part #especially since ming-hua who literally threatened her with ice bending is her future mother in law #they'll sort it out though don't worry #OKAY TAG RANT DONE I'M GOING TO BED BEFORE THE SUN RISES SO LONG FAREWELL AUF WIEDERSEIN GOODBYE #seeds of the red lotus #sotrl suiren #sotrl midori #bolin #kuvira #opal beifong #kuviren #green opal

Bittersweetshipping Week 2021 - Day 5 - Confession

“So, um…here we are,” Lana muttered, stepping into the field of flowers hidden away in the forest where she and Mallow had spent so many hours together when they were younger. Having come here so many times, Mallow had recognised where Lana had been leading her about 15 minutes ago, but had decided not to comment on it at the time – Lana seemed nervous enough as it was, the last thing she wanted to do was make it any worse. What exactly it was that was making her so nervous, she had no idea, all Lana had said was that she had to tell her something and that she wanted to go somewhere private to say it.

“Soooo…why did you bring us here?” Mallow asked, trying to sound as casual as possible despite her own nervousness.

Lana shrugged. “It’s quiet…barely anybody else ever comes here, so there’s privacy…and I mean…it’s special to us, right?”

“Yeah…it is…”

Mallow followed Lana out into the flowers, both of them stopping around the middle of the field. The clearing was peaceful and quiet, and the silence was filled by the calming sounds of the surrounding forest. In the past, they’d both been content to just sit together and listen to the sounds of nature, relaxed in each other’s company…but right now, both girls were very much aware of the tension hovering in the air between them.

“So, uh…” Mallow cleared her throat, trying to think of something to say.

Lana wordlessly turned to face Mallow, reaching up to put her hands on her shoulders. Due to the height difference between them, this ended up being a somewhat awkward position, so she slowly moved her hands down to hold onto her arms instead, trying to steady her nerves.

“I…I’m…”

“Lana?”

“I have to tell you something…” Lana said, repeating her words from earlier in the day. “A-and it’s hard, because I’ve been hiding it for so long…years, actually.”

“It’s okay,” Mallow said, giving her a smile that she hoped was reassuring. “Just take your time, no pressure.”

Lana returned the smile with a shaky one of her own and nodded. “Y-yeah…it’s just that, well…I’m, uh…” she lowered her head, focusing on the flowers at her feet as she started to flush pink. “It’s- I mean- I-”

Her gentle grip on Mallow’s arms suddenly got a lot tighter as her words kept getting stuck in her throat. Mallow couldn’t tell exactly what she was thinking, but she could see the rising anxiety in Lana’s eyes as her face got redder with each passing second. Mallow could feel Lana trembling, and decided that satisfying her curiosity wasn’t worth all this anxiety.

“Lana? Are you oka-“

“I’m fine! I-I’m fine, I just…”

“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to…”

Lana faltered, and for a moment seemed to consider taking the offer, but shook her head. “No. You deserve to know…”

“Are you sure?”

Lana nodded. She took a deep breath, letting go of Mallow’s arms and slowly moving her shaking hands to hold both of Mallow’s.

“I, um…I mean, you- we- I’m-” Lana’s voice got quieter with each word, but with so little background noise, it was still pretty easy to make out what she was saying. “I…I’m in love with you…”

Mallow’s heart leapt, barely noticing her face growing three times warmer. Part of her was in complete disbelief, she must’ve misheard her – Lana had been pretty quiet after all and she shouldn’t just make assumptions, but then, when she really thought about it, and thought back on their past interactions, so many things made so much more sense…

And she knew that Lana was waiting for a response, but her brain was barely able to keep up with what was happening amidst all the thoughts racing through her mind, and she was barely even able to choke out a single word.

“w-what..?”

Lana gulped, repeating herself in a louder voice than before. “I-I love you. I’ve been in love with you for years now…”

There were so many things she wanted to say, she wanted to pull Lana into a hug and hold her in her arms, she wanted to kiss her, wanted to tell her how long she’d been dreaming of hearing those words, wanted to tell her how much she meant to her, but for a moment, all Mallow could do was stand there in shock and awe.

“You d-don’t have to respond or anything, I just-”

Lana was interrupted by Mallow pulling her into the biggest hug she’d ever given her, pulling her as close as possible with a joyful laugh.

“M-Mallow…?”

“I love you too.”

“W-wait, you- you do?” Lana pulled back slightly, not enough to break the hug but enough to be able to look Mallow in the eye. “I-I mean…are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure. I love you,” Mallow repeated, her heart soaring at how right it felt to finally say the words out loud.

Mallow watched Lana’s eyes light up as the realisation dawned on her, and the smile that followed was the most beautiful thing Mallow had ever seen. Lana flung her arms around Mallow’s shoulders, pulling her closer, and Mallow barely had the time to process what was happening as Lana pulled her down into a kiss.

okay yes I did steal the backgrounds from the show itself but in all fairness this is practically a very short comic with full colour and shading and I did it all in one day so. I think it’s fair enough
