Do you think we rarely see Asami talk about her mom because of the fandom being mad that Katara talked about hers? Because I think so

#tlok #atla #asami sato #katara #this is a grave injustice I would love to see asami talk ab her mom more #yasuko was such a sweetie #yasuko sato

I just want one fic where Asami's young parents interact with the rest of the Gaang kids for no other reason than to see Tenzin and Izumi stand by with horrified dignity as everyone else gets absolutely shitfaced together. You can't convince me the Satos weren't the life of every party they ever set foot in and that Lin, Bumi, and Kya weren't like "cheers to that!"

Ten bottles of champagne and a lot of questionable decisions later no one but Lin is fully-clothed. Bumi has passed out face-down on the lawn with his pants around his ankles after trying to moon the giant statue of Aang. Only Kya seemed to have made it to her own bed. Hiroshi and Yasuko made it to a bed, not theirs, and are snoring loudly in a tangle of arms and legs. Tenzin slept on his own couch.

Izumi never sets foot in the United Republic again. Tenzin takes one look at Bumi's grass-covered ass and wishes he could bleach his eyes. To Lin, the mortified expression on his face as they leave is well worth the hangover.

Somebody on Yasuko Sato’s wiki said that Yasuko looked like Ursa and Azula and now I’m consumed by the idea that Asami is somehow related to the fucking Firelord.

#ALSO THE IRONYYYYY #the fact that her daughter died by the hands of a gang called ‘The Agni Kai’ #the irony that hiroshi hates benders while his wife is the daughter of one of the most firebenders ever #I will now steal this head-canon thank you very much #she’s gonna be a tyzula child obviously #also asami randomly dropping the fact that she has family gatherings in the fucking fire nation castle is hilarious to me #ursa #azula #asami sato #yasuko sato #atla #avatar the last airbender

asami and yasuko sato meta

okay i know this isn't critical role meta for those of you who follow me for that but the comics that just came out are making me feral over asami and her mom

they needed to include this because it puts so, so much of asami and hiroshi into context.

it's clear that yasuko was the heart of their little family from the beginning. i mean, look at her and little asami. while they always say in the show that she is very much hiroshi's daughter, i think that she was equally if not more her mother's daughter.

for one, they're spitting images of each other. i can't imagine how hard it was for hiroshi after yasuko died to see asami- and it also explains why he was so set on keeping asami out of the equalist movement for as long as he did.

i think, deep down, he knew that what he was doing was wrong and he couldn't bring himself to put asami into that world, too, and her looking like yasuko only solidified his need to keep her safe.

i think it's also clear that yasuko would not have stood for the equalist movement. if you look at the rest of the comic, yasuko clearly has a great perspective with benders and non-benders, which she passes on to asami.

but also this comic just hammers home the tragedy of the sato family, and that asami really was old enough to remember a lot about her mom. and old enough to remember a lot about her mother's death, too.

it's just so sad to think that yasuko probably died not long after this comic took place. and it's also sad that her vision of an engineering school never really took off- because that would have been the perfect creative outlet for hiroshi, instead of becoming a terrorist.

i wish lok explored more of asami's relationship with her mom, and the grief that comes with losing someone as lovely as yasuko seems.

they're so adorable and just ahhh yasuko deserved better

DVD commentary from She'll Surprise You:

 For once he accepted her offer. This was his first time smoking. It wasn’t pleasant. He found himself choking from the stench and the dry feeling in the back of his throat. Agni, he couldn’t understand why anyone liked this. Yasuko just laughed and retrieved her cigarette. 

         “You okay there, Mr.Lightning ?” she said, fighting to hold back laughter. She looked like a dog does after finding a turtle-duck to chase. Entirely too pleased with herself.

         She was chewing on her nails as she spoke, another habit of hers he found absolutely disgusting. How Sayuri and the others tolerated her he never knew. She reeked of nicotine and sweat. She was all business, no pleasantries, no small talk, not an ounce of friendliness in sight. 

         Well, unless she was flirting with a client of course. Then there would be a whole show of sweetness put on. A spectacle of the saccharine. Agni, she made him want to gag. 

         She was cold. A ruthless, runty little thing. Eager to make a yuan however she could. Terribly jealous if the rumors were to be trusted. 

         She was never one to accept a nicety either. He’d made the mistake of trying to do her a favor once. She was beyond confused by his actions. As if all friendship was foreign to her. The Agni Kai’s were a family, why wouldn’t she just accept his care ? He was one of them after all. Instead of accepting his generosity she was all too eager to attempt to repay him…in ways he did not request. 

Oh this was fun to write and I need to get off my ass and finish this story. I have this whole elaborate plot in my drafts if anyone’s still interested. Hope you liked it ! This fic I really wanted to look at class differences ? Not super deep as I’m not the most informed. Throughout LoK there’s this clash of lifestyles that’s never really handled. Season one it’s Asami vs the brothers. Season two Bolin’s movie star life compared to his old one. Seasons three and four Suyin’s lifestyle vs the austere conditions across the Earth Kingdom. 👀

I wanted to make Zolt’s gritty world slam into Lin’s. They both have more things in common than not though…

( adult themes ahead)

So it’s a mix of things going on in this passage. Usually I write as ideas and moods come. On a Friday or Sunday I will carve out and edit a chapter to the best of my abilities in a span of an hour or so and then a week or two later when the mood comes again I will write more and maybe the next chapter too and I’ll reread it with fresh eyes, text it to my friends for feedback etc. I don’t just sit and write on a schedule.

Let’s get into the characterization going on…

In general I like female characters with a temper. Korra, Katara, Margaret ( Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), Azula, Rarity (MLP) , America ( the selection ) . So why not give Yasuko one as well ?

I loved your idea of Yasuko not being the soft tragic Disney mother. Again also enjoyed the thought of her being in a seedy environment and gang affiliated.

I also thought well what if she was still a non bender and still at least partially earth kingdom ? That would completely change her experience. What if she was disgruntled with the discrimination against non-benders ? Then folks it came to me that could generate so much tension between her and Zolt because even if they’re both at the bottom of society he’s better off than her. It gives her a reason to be a cold bitch. So even though she’s not the protagonist this is setting up room for me to write more about her. I wanted to establish her life as a mixed woman, without any bending.

As a mixed woman she’s rejected by both other EK people ( gets called a colonizer) and by other Fire Nationals ( she can’t actually be a member of Kai’s since she’s only half but Zolt doesn’t know that) . She doesn’t have the option of joining them or working at the power plant etc. She’s an impoverished immigrant whose dreams have been crushed . She went from the rural Fire Nation to the big city. From bright engineering student to prostitution when her money ran out.

“ Well, unless she was flirting with a client of course,” in reference to her line of work.

“Instead of accepting his generosity she was all too eager to attempt to repay him…in ways he did not request,” so one time Yasuko offered him a bj and he clutched his pearls like a grandmother seeing her granddaughter in a crop top ….😭. He was so scandalized, a hand on his heart like she had punched him with her words. “Yasuko, you don’t have to do that…,”

4. I envision Yasuko as southern Belle-like in her charms but also a villainess… or at least appearing to be a villain. Like how Asami wears originally written as a villain and is coded as an antagonist with the red and black clothing and sharp features.

5. Appearance is very important to me it communicates a lot. Yasuko’s bone thin, and dressed in dark clothing since the stains would show less. She’s frightening. She’s desperate to survive and that’s made her harsh. Her appearance reflects that.

6. Scent. Very important to me. Really helps with characterization and setting. Creates a mood in a way visuals and dialogue just can’t. Scent is the strongest trigger of memory. It’s an almost animalistic sense.

Really though this scene says more about Zolt than it does about her. He’s observant and caring but also judgmental. He’s making assumptions about Yasuko. It’s also hypocritical of him to frown on her being a prostitute while he himself is a gang member…

He’s also generous when he’s trying to play nice by taking that damn cigarette. That generosity makes him vulnerable. He falls right into her little game when he chokes on that thing… hmm.

Plot Shenanigans

She definitely knows more than she’s letting on and she’s pissed about it. Yasuko is jealous of Zolt… so she takes pleasure in watching him cough while trying the cigarette.

“Agni, she made him want to gag,” Zolt hates insincerity which is going to make his love life exceedingly difficult in a few chapters…

“She reeked of nicotine and sweat,” - He’s absolutely disgusted by her. They’re very reluctant allies. My little frenemies. Also like let women be gross on occasion. Wanted something less than pristine.

Enter my mind

I wanted to contrast her fierceness with just how sad she was.  “She was chewing on her nails as she spoke,”-poor thing is an anxious wreck

saccharine- have you ever had a dessert that was too sweet and gagged ? Or tasted something synthetic like cough syrup ? That feeling exactly.

Conclusion

I just love Yasuko so much. I will have to get started on resuming that story soon. I have so much more Yasuko back story if anyone wants it.

💗 I love bitchy prostitute Yasuko. 💗

Here’s a snippet of a bit further on in the story.

“Zoltan hated seeing women cry. Now seeing her cry he feels a unique kind of pain. A twinge in his chest he hasn’t felt since his mother died. 

Her pretty green eyes are glassy with unshed tears, and the ones she has shed have left tracks down her face and a puffiness in her cheeks. With her face all red like that she looks like one of those imported porcelain dolls. 

Her mascara has run down her face. Making a rough picture. A beautiful face like that should never be covered in makeup ruined by tears.

“Miss Beifong if you don’t mind my intrusion a man should ruin your lipstick, not your mascara”

[symphonic-scream]

Back when the Legend of Korra finale first aired, I was a little baby gay and had a different tumblr which I believe I deleted. On said tumblr, I think I mentioned vaguely that I had an idea for fankids for them

It's been 9 years since I deleted that tumblr. It's going to be 10 years since the finale this December. The release of the (underwhelming) live action Last Airbender has brought me back to a show that truly changed my life, and made me feel seen as a queer, mixed native kid (I'm a quarter, my grandpa was full)

So. Here's a little post about those ocs, who I found in my old seventh grade french notes (I never paid attention in that class lmao)

Anyways!y Korrasami kids. Let's go over them

Hiroto Sato (Ref age 16)

So I imagine that once their lives were stable, that they'd want to have a baby. Asami would carry in my mind, just because Korra would be all worried about how her body would handle it after the poisoning thing. However, their plans go, twisted. Cause they have twins

Their first born is their son, named after Hiroshi Sato, though Asami didn't want to directly name him after her father because her feelings would be still complicated. So, Hiroto. He goes by Hiro, mostly, and he's a fire bender

His eyes are a dark brown/grey, and he keeps his hair at a sort of medium length? It curls slightly around his ears, and he'd need glasses starting at age 14. He likes warm, comfy clothes

Hiro isn't very physically, well, talented. He's clumsy, trips over his own feet sometimes, the kind of person who's thinking so hard he smacks into polls and apologizes to them. He'd nervously chew on the skin of his thumb as he works. Hiro's an awkward guy, not great at conversation. He's always had a knack for art, and wants to become a city planner. He's not a great bender, but he does like helping out in the kitchen

Yasuko Sato (Ref age 16)

Their only daughter and youngest bio child, it's younger twin Yasuko! Korra chose her name. She knows how much Asami's mom meant to her, and honestly, the baby looked a lot like the old photos of Yasuko. As much as a baby can, at least. Like her brother, she's a fire bender

She's nearly a carbon copy of Asami. Green eyes, wavy black hair, though she smiles a little crooked. She keeps her hair up in a high pony, and even though she needs glasses like her brother, she rarely wears them. She forgets them more often then not, and just takes his to read momentarily. She's, like, "sleeves? Never heard of them"

Yasuko showed real promise in fire bending when Korra first started teaching her, so she decided to get both twins a proper teacher. Yasuko wanted to be a hero like her Moma, and grew up wanting to help people. Her goal is to be a fire fighter! She's the funny friend, always makes others smile, a jokester

Kova Sato (Ref age 19)

So, the next three are all adopted. There was a disaster type happening in the furthest parts of the Northern Water Tribe, and Korra went to help in the aftermath. After helping with search and rescue efforts, she goes to visit the injured to sort of, give them hope

That's where she meets Kova. He's 9 at the time, yet he was working hard to use his water bending to help heal alongside the elder women. She talks to him while handing out some food shipped in from Republic City, and finds out he lost his parents, and has been looking after his younger brother

Long story short, both boys return to the city with her, and Asami ends up understanding why her wife couldn't leave them behind

Kova is a big guy. He's mixed water tribe earth nation, so while he's got dark skin, his eyes are a dark green, and his hair is messy, dark brown. Quiet guy, but tall for his age. Real gentle, there's a reason he has an affinity for healing. He's got little sun freckles too!

He's great with words. He's a blooming poet, writing the stories people tell him during healing sessions. Incredibly kind, loves the idea of memories making someone immortal. The first poems he writes are of his birth parents, and the second? Of his mom's, and his siblings.

Haoyu Sato (Ref age 12)

He's Kova's younger brother, and was only 2 when Korra took them in and brought them to Republic City.

Haoyu is just paler than his older brother, with darker, messier hair, and blue eyes. His smile is bright, pure joy and energy. He's an endless ball of energy, and reminds his mom's and grandparents of a young Korra; he knows he's hot shit. He's an earth bender, starting at age 6

He's obsessed with pro bending. But, he doesn't dream of being an athlete, but an announcer. Reading is tough for him, and he struggles a bit in school, but when he comes home each day, he's surrounded by love, and care. Asami is always happy to sit with him and help him make sense of his school work, gentle, kind, and patient

I imagine he'd wear someone like a hoodie and soft puffy pants, the kind that end above the ankle.

Gyaltsen Sato (Ref age 5)

The youngest, and again, not exactly a planned adoption. His mother was a newer air acolyte, and she didn't make it through the birth. Tenzin asked Korra and Asami to look after baby Gyaltsen away from the busy temple until someone could take him in, but, the mom's got attached

Just barely darker than Asami and the twins, Gyaltsen has the lightest hair in the family, and the darkest eyes. He's an airbender who shows extreme potential, and is one of Jinora's most promising young students

He's got this spark for life. Everything is so cool to him, so amazing, it's rare for him to be disappointed by something. He feels things strongly, and his Moma Korra sits with him to meditate and talk about his big feelings

He's still very young and growing up, so he's got time to become himself

--

ANYWAYS. THERE THEY ARE. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

Fanart compilation from 2023 for @theinvisiblekunst's Near You.

This is supposed to be a page from Yasuko's sketchbook, where she draws Bumi rather often. Most of this is my separate Bumi/Bumsuko art that I compiled into this single page.

Full credit, the art in the middle is heavily referenced from official FMA art.

The Yasuko Sato Building description in Avatar Legends - Republic City expansion

Description: "Yasuko Sato - successful architect, mother of Asami Sato, and wife of Hiroshi Sato - designed the headquarters of Future Industries before her death. Hiroshi Sato had the structure built exactly to her specs, and the building is a masterpiece of innovation and artistry that has weathered recent cataclysms and spirit vine proliferation better than any other structure downtown."

I originally thought this building was going to tie back to the engineering university mentioned in the Patterns in Time short story.

Motherhood suited Avatar Korra very well.

They named her Yasuko.

The whole world celebrated Avatar Korra and Asami Sato's happiness.

- - - - - -

Currently Korra was enjoying her favourite time of the day. The night time routine.

The couple agreed well before their daughter was born that Asami would do the mornings and taking Yassy to the in-house nursery at Future industries tower and Korra would have the evening slot.

- - - - - -

Yasuko was happily splashing in the warm bath water, snuggling back against Korra's muscular chest.

"Make shapeys Mama"? Yasuko asked, tilting her head all the way back to look up at her mother.

"You want shapeys Yassy"? Korra cooed.

The toddler nodded so the Avatar obliged.

- - - - - -

Using her water bending Korra created shapes out of warm bath water for her daughter's entertainment.

"Circle" Yasuko said confidently.

"That's right Yassy, good job sweetheart" Korra praised her daughter as she morphed the water into a triangle.

- - - - - -

An hour into bathtime (Korra kept warming the water with her firebending) Asami wondered into the bathroom.

"Are we having fun"? She asked, smiling at her two favourite people in the bath.

"Look Mummy" Yasuko giggled, pointing at the half dozen figures Korra had created to tell her daughter an old water tribe story.

"Wow, I see Mama's showing off again" Asami teased her wife.

The Avatar stuck her tongue out at her wife, which made Asami rolled her eyes.

"The mighty Avatar ladies and gentlemen, reduced to sticking her tongue out like a toddler".

Korra huffed out indignantly, "I can be mature".

"Of course you can baby" Asami smiled as she lent down and kissed Korra's forehead.

- - - - - -

After Asami had taken her shower she glanced over towards the bath. "Okay Yassy, it's bedtime, let's get you dry and Mama can read you a bedtime story".

Both Yasuko and Korra whined their displeasure.

Asami rolled her eyes, "I'm a mother of two" she muttered as she turned to grab her Daughter a towel.

She started when I jet of water hit her on the back.

She stood bolt upright and turned slowly to face her wife. "Very mature Korra".

"Huh"? Korra asked, looking up from unplugging the bath tub.

"Don't play innocent, you splashed me with water bending".

Korra raised an eyebrow, "no I didn't".

"Don't lie to me Korra, I know it was you".

"It. Was . Not . Me" Korra stated through gritted teeth.

"Pft" Asami tutted dismissively, "the least you could do is lie with some conviction".

Korra stood up in the bath, "you want to see water bending? I'll show you water bending".

The Avatar waved her arms and the entirety of the remaining dirty bath water rose as one, and started to swirl in a powerful vortex.

"Korra" Asami said weakly.

"This is what a water bending master looks like Asami. Can you tell the difference"?

"Stop ! Stop ! Stop !" Yasuko screamed, she raised both her arms above her head and the water above her froze solid.

Korra struggled to regain control of the ice in her shock, but she managed to return it to water and fed it into the pipes.

"You can water bend" both her parents said in unison.

Yasuko smiled shyly up at her parents before she sneezed and a small jet of fire shot out of both nostrils.

"Uh oh" Korra said into the silence.

"You just HAD to ask the spirits for a child. Didn't you"? Asami sighed.

"I'll train her myself" Korra said quickly.

"Oh you better. One piece of furniture gets burnt Korra, and you're sleeping with Naga in the stables, got it"?

Korra nodded, it was going to be a LONG time before they could sleep easy again if Yasuko was anything like her.

"No Yassy ! Don't dry your hair with fire bending"!

.....

Korra spent a while sleeping with Naga in the stables.

~FIN ~

So for the five people that read Near You (y'all are awesome and i love all y'all that commented and kudos'd), guess who's working on the Yasuko Lives AU!

Maybe it's the sinus/ear infection, maybe it's the meds bc of the sinus/ear infection, but all i know is I suddenly wanted to write

i also want to extend my sincerest apologies to this woman in advance:

(to make it up to her, i have made her a high elf bard in BG3 and also doing a Yasuko Fallout 4 playthrough, you know the game where she has to save her son Kuzon Shaun)

#yasuko sato #lok #tlok #the legend of korra #i might have a fever so this should be interesting
