Poll on what cultural/social context you would find most interesting in a f/f fanfic featuring at least one Fire Nation character
This goes for Azula/Ty Lee, Azula/Mai, Mai/Ty Lee, Azula/Katara, Mai/Katara, Ty Lee/Katara, Toph/Mai, Yue/Azula, etc.
I kind of wish that more lesbian Azula fanfics positioned lesbianism and homosexuality within a different, non-modern cultural and social context. There are quite a few ways that lesbianism could exist, be understood, etc. within the context of Fire Nation society but it’s very unlikely things would be like 2010s American society or even 1950s American society. It might not even be understood as a “sexual identity” as opposed to a behavior people engage in.
There’s actually a lot of ways Fire Nation culture could treat lesbianism:
The society could be highly homophobic with lesbianism illegal or socially taboo.
At the other extreme, lesbian marriage could be normal, but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily treated the same way as in modern Western society. One possibility is that one partner in a lesbian couple is regarded as symbolically taking on a male role.
Society could just completely ignore the subject. There isn’t a taboo against lesbianism, but lesbian behavior has been completely ignored, period culturally.
There could be informal institutions liked “Boston Marriages” that are not perceived as sexual or romantic by broader society.
Lesbian behavior could be considered completely acceptable in some contexts (like between the wives/concubines of the same man) but not in most others.
Lesbian sex might just not be perceived as sex at all(since there’s no penis involved). It might be completely socially accepted but not be seen as “sex.”
Lesbianism might be perceived as a behavior, not as an identity. Lesbian sexual acts might be completely accepted (and maybe even encouraged in some contexts), precisely because they’re not seen as interfering with women’s reproductive and familial obligations. It’s actually quite unusual historically for societies to see gayness as an identity, rather than seeing particular sex acts as a behavior.
it all might depend entirely on social contexts.
the Fire Nation might generally view sex through power dynamics, with lesbianism fitting into this somehow.
Which of these options do you find most interesting for a Fire Nation lesbian fic?
Option 1 (Highly homophobic)
Option 2 (lesbian marriage normal but different)
Option 3 (completely socially and culturally ignored)
Option 4 ("Boston Marriages")
Option 5 (lesbian behavior acceptable in some contexts)
Option 6 (Lesbian sex not seen as "sex")
Option 7 (Lesbianism perceived as a behavior, not an identity)
Option 8 (totally social context dependent)
Option 9 (power dynamics)
Option 10 (1950s America)
Option 11 (2010s America)
Something else(explain in tags)/show results
Please reblog this poll for more votes!
I want you guys to know this shit not only makes my life better and easier, and consequently makes me like you more, but WAY MORE IMPORTANTLY could literally save someone's life.
Yes, eye strain sucks. Yes migraines are painful. Yes seizures are miserable. But every single epileptic seizure, to a very small but very much not zero degree, can just kill you. Seizures are horrible and dangerous - with aspiration and head trauma to take into account as well. Even if it's "not that much flashing" or it's "not that long" or "it's only a seizure" or whatever kind of excuse you may want to make - PLEASE think about photosensitive users when you interact with media
Anything with
Rapid change between different colors
Rapid change between light and dark frames
Anything that causes the value of the screen to change very majorly very quickly
Anything very color intensive/stressful for the eyes
Needs to be tagged with things like "flashing lights" "strobing" "eye strain" etc - NOT tags such as "photosensitive" or "epilepsy" bc we use those tags for our community
Please and thank you
People really don't talk about this, but Aang actually marrying Katara is a real big deal for him and a cultural concession even since the Air Nomad culture he's so desperate to somehow preserve doesn't seem to include marriages at all. The same is true for raising his biological kids. In the culture Aang is from, biological parents just don't do that. You raise children, but not your own.
In terms of what their family looks like, it seems to be much closer to Water Tribe traditions than Air Nomad traditions.

Again, there are a lot of possibilities.

It would be interesting if those who voted yes would provide a rationale for it. I think I understand the argument but I think it's also worth having a conversation over.
Workplace confession #3 (#1 here and #2 here)
I have this as a sticky note in front of me at all times. Yes, that's my handwriting.
I thought teaching Sumerian cuneiform stopped some two thousand years ago, it seems you naturally rediscovered it.
Someone else said it reminds them of Old Norse. (Like the scripture on ruins)
Both cuneiform and runes (used to write Old Norse and other Germanic languages) are made to be carved into things. That's why they're so big on straight lines. Did you spend a lot of time carving letters into stuff when you were younger?
Despite his flaws, Zuko is flat out a much better person than Iroh is.
Katara: Do you know who I am? Yon Rha: (Cut back to Yon Rha) No, (his eyes widen in fear) I’m not sure. Katara: Oh you better remember me like your life depends on it! (Yon Rha places his arm in front of his face) Why don’t you take a closer look. Yon Rha: Yes, yes. I remember you now. (Cut back to Katara) You’re the little Water Tribe girl.
and
Yon Rha: (Cut to a side view of Yon Rha as he kneels) I did a bad thing. I know I did and you deserve revenge. So why don’t you take my Mother? That would be fair. Katara: (Cut to Katara who looks on, pityingly) I always wonder what kind of person could do such a thing. But now that I see you, I think I understand. (She walks forward) There’s just nothing inside you. Nothing at all. You’re pathetic and sad and empty. Yon Rha: (Cut to Yon Rha as he pleads) Please spare me. Katara: (Cut to a visibly angry Katara) But as much as I hate you… (Her eyes start to shimmer with emotion) I just can’t do it.
Yon Rha is an absolutely awful, pathetic, and morally weak person, but from this scene it’s evident that his murder of Kya weighed heavily on him at some level, even if he’s incapable of understanding why, and most importantly, he shows much more remorse for it here than Iroh ever did for any of the death and destruction he inflicted on the Earth Kingdom.

Writing Commissions Open
I'll have to remember to post about this in the morning, but yo! If you've ever wanted something written by me or want me to continue with writing something, I've opened up writing commissions for short-form pieces on VGen!
Check it out here: https://vgen.co/unlockthelore/service/-fiction-short-form-/e6f8b99e-e810-4184-ac1f-63a45cd6c6ae
Iroh when Zuko manhandles and threatens violence against an innocent old woman to get what he wants: he has a good soul 😔
Iroh when Azula attacks him after he (and 4 other people) corner her, with him being arguably the most powerful combatant there and it being her only route to safety, oh and she didn't like a doll one time: She's crazy and irredeemable!!!
