#baatar

i'm pretty sure cats kiss by giving you a very gentle sniff, but there's glass in the way, so Baatar gives you nose boop instead through the screen.

for @ockissweek prompt "playful!"

I allowed myself to redraw one artwork from the artbooks and add Kuvira in it because I think she also deserves to be on a Beifong family portrait, haha.

Yeah, so this has zero canonical backing, but does anyone else think Suyin is at least a little ethically non-monogamous? I mean, the seeds are all there: worldly, well-traveled, free-spirited, raised in the liberal arts, totally fine with nontraditional family structures, big on egalitarian values, etc.

And I don’t see her as a cheater at all. Quite the opposite. She seems like the type who’d be brutally transparent with Baatar about her needs and her attractions - the type to sit him down and draft actual agreements because she cares about his trust that much. Not out of guilt or secrecy, but because she values clarity, honesty, and the integrity of what they’ve built together.

He’s her anchor. Her stability. The person she returns to when the world gets too chaotic or her own emotional intensity threatens to untether her. And honestly? I can buy they’d even vet potential partners together - not in a salacious way, but in a protective, grounded, almost ritualistic way.

A “Does this person respect our boundaries? Do they understand what we are to each other? Can they handle Suyin’s intensity without trying to claim her or pull her away?” kind of way.
