We don’t talk enough about how it took just a little over a year for Ozai to realize he wanted a replacement for Zuko.
Meanwhile, Hakoda and Kya needed only three months to decide they wanted a sequel to Sokka.
—————————————————————————
Ozai: I would like to make a return.
Ursa: Do you have a receipt?
Ozai: I do not. The Fire Sages lost the placenta after I specifically asked them not to.
Ursa: Gross.
Ursa: Also, you can’t return our son.
Ozai: Why not? He didn’t come as advertised. Zuko hasn’t shown any signs of firebending yet. Just crying and pooping and eating and sleeping.
Ursa: That’s not my problem. Or his. Besides, he’s a baby. That’s basically all they do.
Ozai: Alright. Can I swap him for a different baby, then?
Ursa: No.
Ozai: Can I swap him for a different baby without telling you?
Ursa: You can try. But no.
Ozai: Can I get a discount on the next baby?
Ursa:
Ursa: ...sure.
—————————————————————————
Kya: I love our baby so much. He’s just so happy and expressive and adorable and I cherish every moment I have with him. Thank you for helping me bring this wonderful little person into the world.
Hakoda:

okay I am Having Thoughts. Can you believe that Hakoda was probably just so scared when Bato got hurt because he didn't want what happened to Kya to happen to him? Because Kya probably died due to fire-related injuries, bcs Firebenders and Yon Ra was a Firebender and yeah.
Gods imagine how horrified he was when he turned around and saw Bato wreathed in flames, thinking that he's going to not only have see not just one but both of his lovers die at the hands of a Firebender. And he probably felt so, so guilty because he wasn't there for Kya when she needed him and then he wasn't there for Bato when he needed him. And he probably hauled Bato to the abbey hoping, praying that he'd live, that maybe he would be able to save him unlike how he couldn't save Kya. And every time he'd get a letter from Bato or something while he's on the mend he's so, so relieved because that's proof that he's still alive, and that Hakoda had managed to prevent this one shard of his heart from shattering.
And maybe just MAYBE he feels guilty because he thinks it's his fault, if only he was faster, more alert, stronger, whatever, he could have saved them. Kept Bato safe and unscarred. Saved Kya and made it so his children didn't have to grow up without a mother.

Why Ozai is not a bad character
This seems like an outrageous take but hear me out.
My first topic of discussion is how horrible ozai's childhood must have been. His father was Azulon and the way he treated Zuko and Azura was probably has a direct correlation to how his own childhood must have been. Like that scene where his dad slapped for spilling a cup of water. He also has burns all over his body from his father, you just don't see them in the show. Or the comics. Trust me. Because there's evidence that clearly points to this.
Second, about Zuko's whole scar. 13 year old Zuko is a known deceptive, manipulative, evil worm. Think about how quickly he switched sides from the "evil" side to team avatar (suspicious). Also, it's so obvious that his scar is fake and that he reapplies it every morning and night. You can even see cosmetics in the background, and there's one scene where it's not even on his face. like could they have made it any more obvious, yet all you LOVE manipulative and lying Zuko.
Next let's talk about URSA. OH MY GOD URSA. When firebird ozai threatened to mistreat Zuko to Ursa, he was just trying to defend himself from his evil manipulative child to his equally manipulative wife. She mistreated her children and him and escaped the second she saw the chance, without a second thought towards her family. Also, the thing that's most ignored by this ignorant fandom, is how she threatened his parents that she would release fire nation noble secrets unless she could marry their son, Ozai, who was terrified of her. Also, the way he proved his love by sacrificing his own parents for her in the comic "North and South".
For Azula, I think it goes without saying how insane Azula is, not to mention how ungrateful she is towards her father in the last episode after she's made firelord even though she's not even that talented, Ozai's words not mine. Ozai also had a good reason to mistreat Azula, seeing how much she mistreated the one he loved, Mai. Even in Azula's childhood she would lie to her parents, even her father even though he clearly cared about her and was a very good parent.
Not much can be said about Iron, considering we don't see much of their relationship. Consider how negligent and uncaring Iron was towards his brother after he lost his nephew, Lu Ten. Iron instead used this to bring attention to himself. He also betrayed Ozai, putting his manipulative nephew Zuko over his own brother.
Next is Mai, she lied to the firelord to get on his good side, and in the end just betrayed him to go with Zuko and avatar. Mai might be the worst character in the show, seeing as she betrayed not only one of her closest friends, but also Ozai, the man who truly loved her. Not to mention, the only reason she liked Zuko was because he joined the avatar and she believed his side would win in the end. Because all she ever cared about was making herself look good.
AANG!! Despite the fact that he had unresolved feelings for the firelord, he still took down his love and deep down should feel ultimately guilty.
Finally, Ozai is extremely attractive. Let's start with his lovely, clear skin and his high sculpted cheekbones and beautiful glossy olive skin. Not to mention his beautiful golden shining eyes, sculpted into the perfect almond shape. He was especially attractive in the New live action. Considering his beautiful ribbed abs, his long Lucious, black locks, and even in the final battle how he still looks put together and attractive and HOT.
We need to talk about one final point, how he just wanted his kingdom and his people to be the best it could possibly. All of his actions were just him looking out for his people. He mistreated some people but he could have been a lot worse. And he was a good king. He's just very patriotic in his love for Agni kai, his people, and the color red. and bonfires. and birds. He especially loved the beautiful sight of grey smoke falling over the beautiful, white, melting snow whenever he attacked the southern water tribe.
Also he is a good king.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk

New ATLA Fic Preview
Here’s a preview of a fic I've been working on. Based on this AU idea by @electronswrites, where Aang is found much earlier & the Gaang is formed of characters from the generation up (I tried posting this yesterday, but I think Tumblr was glitching or something? idk?). Tagging various people from the post’s notes that seemed interested: @professionalranter31, @muffinlance @gaymedievaldruid @girl-loves-travel45 @kacievvbbbb @beastlybeauty1 @shorteeby40. Lemme know if any of you want to be removed.
This AU involves some changes to canon, because somebody needs to teach Aang waterbending, so Hakoda is a bender here. (If you're wondering, 'Wait, so who is going to take on Sokka's role of non-bender warrior?': Kya. It's Kya. Kya is here to chew bubblegum & kick ass & there is no bubblegum in the world of ATLA so that really simplifies her 'to do' list.)
Ages have also been adjusted. I've decided that everyone is the same age as their show equivalents (where available). Hakoda is 15 (same for Bato), Kya is 14 (I might switch them idk), Ozai is 16, Ursa is 15, etc. I've decided on 24 for Zhao's age - still young, but old enough that he'd be super resentful being bossed around by a teenager. Zuko is already around, as per the og post, & is 1.
A few small tweaks to the ideas posted: Zhao & Ozai are bitter rivals, rather than friends. Ozai & Ursa weren't betrothed (because I figure in that case Azulon would just move the wedding date). And Ursa escaped the 'school' she was sent to while still pregnant & went on the run.
I haven't really planned this fic out too well, beyond this first chapter, a vague outline, & a few random ideas, & ngl it'll be a while before I do any proper work on it (which is why I'm just posting this preview on tumblr rather than Ao3), because I have a current WIP that I'm nearly done with, another that I want to at least update, & a third I would like to start posting. I don't even have a title.
But for now, here's the first chapter: Hakoda Tries to Impress A Girl
Hakoda scanned their surroundings as Bato steered their boat deftly between icebergs. They didn’t really need to be out here – the village had enough provisions stored away that they’d be okay unless their hunters had a real nasty bout of bad luck. But bad luck did happen (often in the form of Fire Nation raids) & nobody would say no if they caught anything extra.
And it got them out of shoring up the snow wall around the village, which was tedious work.
Kya wouldn’t be called upon to help with the building work, but she had jumped at Hakoda’s invitation, keen to get out of the village for a while.
The men wouldn’t let her train with them anymore. Nobody minded a woman having some kind of basic training, at least enough to know how to wield a club without knocking herself out instead of her opponent. That was just common sense. If any Fire Nation soldiers got through the warriors’ defences, then it was useful to have some of the woman be able to hold them off from burning people’s homes (or worse) until the real warriors were able to step in
But when Kya had started beating some of the men, the Chief had put his foot down. He couldn’t stop her watching though; he couldn’t stop her practicing the moves she’d seen on any man who bothered her either.
“Kya,” Bato was saying, carefully. “If you hit a man in that spot, it really hurts.”
She rolled her eyes, continuing to swing her club. “I know. That’s why I did it.”
“But it’s dishonourable! That’s not how you win a proper fight!”
That got a snort. “Like the Fire Nation cares about honour.”
Bato looked pleadingly at Hakoda for help, but he kept his eyes on the water, pretending not to notice. He understood that, as the Chief’s son, Bato felt he had to take his side. But she’d been in the right & Sunoq had had it coming. Maybe he’d learn to keep his hands to himself in future. (He also didn’t want to risk being on Kya’s bad side, even a little.)
Besides, he had another reason for inviting her along; he was hoping to show her a waterbending move he’d just learned.
Learning to bend had been a struggle. The only teacher available to him had been an infirm old man who’d been missed in the raids. Before he’d died, he was able to teach Hakoda some healing, & a few simple moves that didn’t require much, well, movement. But any actual attacks that would be useful in fighting the Fire Nation, or anything big or powerful, were beyond his ability to demonstrate. And that was the exact sort of thing that would be of interest to Kya.
He’d done his best to figure out moves based on the man’s descriptions, but it was difficult, especially as his mind had been wandering as his life drew to a close, & some of those descriptions had been confusing.
But today he thought he had something. Something that might impress Kya. And he really wanted to impress her.
They’d known each other pretty much their whole lives (it wasn’t that big a village) & the three of them had always been friends. But recently he thought he’d like to be something more than friends with her. He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to just come right out & ask her though. She was scary when she was mad, & he knew from training that she did not pull her punches at all.
They found what they felt was a promising spot, & Hakoda & Bato cast their lines & sat back to wait, but hours passed & nothing was biting. And Kya, who’d been crouched with a spear, staring intently into the water, swore she hadn’t seen a single fish.
It was as if they were avoiding the area. But there was no sign of any predators, & if that was what it had been, then whatever it was should have moved on by now in the absence of prey.
Weird.
Well, at least he didn’t have to worry about scaring fish away.
He began swooshing water to & fro, slow at first, but gradually getting faster, before pulling upwards, making large waves that pushed the boat closer to the large iceberg in their vicinity.
The next step – which he hadn’t quite consistently managed yet – was to turn the waves into ice. If he could figure that out, it would be immensely useful to the tribe – he could quickly erect defensive barriers or build bridges.
Maybe then the Chief would stop looking at him like he didn’t belong.
He did his best to follow the movements the old man had described, which had worked a little in his experiments, but the water stubbornly remained water.
And Kya was watching…
“Damnit!” he muttered, shoving the water hard in frustration. Why wouldn’t it work?
A crack appeared in the iceberg in front of them.
“Ooh ooh ooh! Yes! Crack it open!” Kya was practically bouncing with delight.
Well, who was he to deny a lady’s request?
Channelling all his frustration (& his desire to impress) into his movements, he attacked the ice like it was a Fire Navy ship with the Firelord himself on board. Slowly, more & more cracks began to appear.
And then finally, with a roar of effort, he managed it, & the iceberg spilt, falling apart. He stood for a moment in triumph…
Before falling over (fortunately landing in the boat & not the freezing water) as the water displaced by the falling ice washed past them. Bato paddled frantically to stop them being flung away & smashed against the ice, while Kya & Hakoda did their best to shift their weight to keep the boat balanced.
Once it passed, they cautiously sat up & looked around.
“Well, that was certainly impressive,” said Bato, drily. “Though I don’t think this is going to help us catch any fish.”
He turned to Kya, hoping that she was impressed at least, but she was staring past him, at where the iceberg had been. At first, he was disappointed, but when he followed her gaze, he saw the water was glowing.
“What the-”
A new iceberg rose out of the water, & it was definitely unusual, for several reasons.
Firstly, it was glowing. Secondly, it was spherical. Thirdly, there was a person inside it, a boy a few years younger than them. That last one wasn’t necessarily unusual on its own, but the fact that he was sitting in a meditative pose rather than suspended limp in the position that he’d drowned in, or curled in on himself in a vain effort to fight off the freezing cold. The glowing arrows on him were a bit odd too.
The things got even weirder still as the boy opened glowing eyes.
“He’s alive!” Kya scrambled to her feet & leapt over the distance between the boat & the new iceberg, using pieces of broken ice as stepping stones as she pulled her club off her back. “We have to do something.”
Hakoda scrambled after her, not sure what to do, but not wanting her to do this alone. And maybe he was being overly cautious, but he wasn’t sure it was a good idea to let mysterious glowing people out of ice prisons.
By the time he reached the iceberg, Kya had already struck the ice several times, & as he reached out to try & stop her, the ice finally submitted to her will & the iceberg broke apart.
They were both knocked down by powerful gusts of wind as the light exploded outwards. Hakoda curled around Kya protectively, even though she’d never needed anyone’s protection, & certainly didn’t want it.
Eventually the light & the sudden wind subsides, & Kya elbowed him to make him let her go.
They scrambled to their feet & stared at the jagged remains of the still-glowing iceberg, not sure what to expect. Kya brandished her club & Hakoda attempted a waterbending stance as a figure emerged from the crater, arrow & eyes still glowing as it seemed to survey them.
And then the glow faded & the boy collapsed. Kya dropped her club & jumped forward to catch him. Hakoda, still wary, picked up the club & approached more cautiously.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Bato paddling the boat closer.
The boy opened his eyes (a weird shade of grey, but at least they weren’t glowing anymore) & gasped. He stared at Kya for a long moment.
“I need… I need to ask you something…” he said, weakly & Hakoda wondered if he wasn’t about to die even after all that.
Kya looked worried, probably wondering what ominous last words the boy might come out with. “What?”
“Please… Come closer…”
Kya leaned in as Hakoda tightened his grip on the club.
“What is it?”
“Will you go penguin-sledding with me?” he asked, in a much brighter voice.
Wait, what?
Prince Ozai stood at the railing of his ship, staring out at the ocean, deep in thought. Icebergs towered around them, & the non-benders in the crew shivered & rubbed their hands together when they thought he wasn’t looking.
Almost two years he’d been on this hunt. His mission was monumental, & would be daunting to someone more easily intimidated, but up until now, his investigations had been straightforward.
His first task had been to search each Air Stronghold in the hope of finding clues, or at least understanding his quarry, but the buildings were empty shells full of nothing but bones. (Some of the bones were… rather small. But of course the Avatar himself had been a child at the time, so it had been necessary. Absolutely necessary. But he had avoided lingering in some rooms…) Any scrolls & trinkets that hadn’t been burned would have been carried off back to the Fire Nation, from which he was banished.
From there he had turned to the Earth Kingdom, moving from port to port, questioning sages, digging through dusty archives, & chasing rumours of spirit sightings. It had been tedious & frustrating – and so far fruitless – but at least he had known how to proceed.
Now though…?
What little he had managed to gather about the Avatar’s life before his grandfather’s heroic pre-emptive strike on the Air Nation & its armies, said that the Avatar had resided at their Southern Stronghold, though a letter found in the possession of a dissident Air Nation supporter a few decades ago mentioned plans to send him away.
If it was true that he’d lived in the south, perhaps that would be his preferred hiding place. Hence, his order to turn south to investigate the Southern Water Tribe.
But they had no strongholds to search, merely scattered settlements clinging to the harsh tundra & at the mercy of whatever the climate threw at them. Paper was scarce & the preferred method of conveying information was oral, so he doubted there were any archives or libraries. And they had limited contact with the rest of the world, so no bustling ports where visitors could mingle with crowds of people who were so eager to share gossip that they didn’t care what nation their audience was from.
Was he to be reduced to sailing around the whole Agni-forsaken place, stopping at each & every single village, no matter how small, & searching each one for the Avatar? Not only was that tedious, but inevitably after he showed up at the first village, warnings would go out to the others, & word would spread. If the Avatar was hiding here, then he would flee.
He had also underestimated just how big icebergs could be. Navigating would be… something of a challenge.
Staring out at the cold blue waters, he felt the enormity of his task threatening to overwhelm him. What was he supposed to do? How could he succeed in pleasing his father? How could he restore his honour?
He involuntarily reached to touch the top of his head, quickly turning the gesture into a scratch. The chopped strands had grown out now, enough that he was able to tie them back to keep them from falling in his eyes as they had kept doing after his haircut, constantly reminding him of all that he had lost. Probably long enough to form into a topknot again, especially if he used some of the longer strands that had been left untouched to bolster it. But he didn’t dare attempt it, even in the privacy of his cabin. Lieutenant Zhao didn’t want to be here, saw this mission as him being sidelined from a promising military career (which it wasn’t; it would be the making of his career if – no, when – Ozai found the Avatar), & would sell him out for a packet of fire flakes given half the chance. And he didn’t even like fire flakes.
He took a deep breath, some flames escaping his mouth on the exhale. No, he could do this. He had always risen to meet every challenge set to him, even if he had never seemed to surpass his brother (at least in their father’s eyes). He could manage this one too. Who cared that everyone sneered that it was impossible? Ozai would show them!
Even if his last challenge had been what had got him here.
It had been a glimpse at a party of some noble or other. A girl he had never seen before, perhaps a year younger than him. He had thought he knew of everybody who was worth knowing at court, but he didn’t know her.
When he had pointed her out to Ukano, the other boy had sneered. “Oh, her? Don’t you know? That’s Roku’s granddaughter.” He shook his head, a disgusted look on his face. “I know your grandfather allowed the family to keep their house in the capital, but I don’t understand why people invite them to things.” He snorted in derision. “Pity, I think.”
He should stay away, but… well, a girl from a family of traitors on the fringes of noble society. Her prospects were slim. She would be easy.
He had promised her so much, things he could not offer, because his father would not allow a marriage to someone like that. But she had been swept off her feet, convinced he was just like a prince from one of those insipid romance plays she liked. And he had played that role perfectly.
It had surprised him to find she was actually good company (aside from her taste in theatre). She was intelligent, & creative, & beautiful. But, of course, none of those things mattered; her tainted bloodline made them totally unsuitable for each other.
She hadn’t been as easy as he’d expected, but he’d been persuasive & charming, & in the end had claimed his prize.
There had been consequences, but he had ignored her tearful, terrified letters; what could he even do for her? Even if father had been willing for them to marry, he certainly wouldn’t now; she was damaged goods. (Even if Ozai had been the one to inflict the damage.)
She had swiftly disappeared from court, ‘sent away to stay with a family friend in the colonies’ (ridiculous, as that family had no friends), & he assumed it was over.
And it had, but not in the way he’d expected.
In the event his father had even found out about his actions, he had expected to face criticism – somehow, he had never been able to measure up to the example sent by his brother, already a war hero before Ozai could even write his own name, & scathing rebukes for the smallest mistake or flaw had been a constant fact of life. But he hadn’t expected anger. Or punishment.
He had brought shame on his family, dishonoured them, & himself. He was to leave the Fire Nation, never to return unless he found the Avatar, missing for 64 years.
He reached up to touch the top of his head again… only to quickly snatch his hand back as a door opened behind him.
“Enjoying the view?” came Zhao’s voice. As always, he was careful to keep the mocking tone just subtle enough that if Ozai took issue with it, he appeared irrational & unreasonable. “See the Avatar at all?”
Ozai wanted to blast the man with lightning, but he was well-connected & popular amongst the officers – certainly more popular than Ozai was, even though he was their prince! – & often those connections had helped them obtain adequate supplies to keep the ship running on the meagre budget his father had allotted him (he was teaching Ozai frugality & proper supply management, obviously), so he did his best to rein in his temper.
Once he felt he had his rage enough under control that words would come out when he opened his mouth, instead of flames, he took a breath to answer…
And a pillar of light shot into the sky in front of him.

Can't help but think Kyakoda is the kind of couple that in a modern AU would unironically join a nudist colony. Just let it all hang out there in a super chill and happy way, ya know? Anyway curious your thoughts.
Thank you for the ask, anon! 😝 Tbh you had me cracking up at first but the more I thought about this, the more I could actually see where you’re coming from. 🧐
Both in-universe and in modern AUs, I tend to think of Kyakoda as being childhood sweethearts—or very platonic childhood friends who gradually start pining for each other until the tension explodes like a powder keg. They grow up in a tiny town, get married right out of high school maybe because they have a little ‘happy accident,’ i.e. Sokka, and hectically juggle work, college, and family through their twenties and early-to-mid thirties. Stressful and demanding? Definitely. But it’s also the kind of simple, wholesome life that they both really want with each other—and it’s sublimely rewarding.
Regardless, Kyakoda find themselves as empty-nesters before they’re forty. And while helping Katara settle in for her first year of college (Sokka is already a sophomore), they start thinking…now what?? ☹️ Wtf are we supposed to do without our babies? Are we officially old and useless? But after spending some time walking around campus and remembering what it’s like to have that kind of radical freedom during which Kya gets invited to six different frat parties and Hakoda is swarmed by an entire sorority, they realize that they’ve still got a lot going for them. 😎
On the way home, they make a list of all the things they want to do and all the places they want to see. There’s no real reason for them to live permanently at the South Pole anymore (or maybe Alaska in a real-world modern AU), so they decide to go for a change of climate and a change of pace…
As Kyakoda soon learns, Sun’s Out Buns Out Naturalist Community on Ember Island is both of those things. It’s surprisingly chill and casual, and they find that sliding into the whole go-with-the-flow atmosphere comes easily to them. The rules are helpful and not very difficult to follow, all things considered—although at first, they do get chastised for not-so-sneakily checking each other out. Kya tries to argue that she should be able to ogle a handsome beefcake so long as said beefcake is her husband, but the community charter says otherwise. Generally, though, they fit in just fine. The freedom—physical and otherwise—is a breath of fresh air, and their pre-nudist-colony jobs (Kya as a nurse, Hakoda as a contractor) lend themselves well to the practical work they do around the ‘naturalist community.’
But most of the time, they’re just hanging loose and enjoying life. 😉 In the mornings, Kya lays a towel out on the sand and reads, buns bare under the sun, while Hakoda lies beside her and whittles Cool Water Tribe Stuff (TM) out of pieces of driftwood. Some evenings, Kya attends a thrice-weekly beachside yoga class to keep herself in shape, and on the off-nights she joins Hakoda on a run, then ‘supervises’ his nightly workout (usually by sitting on his back while he does pushups and getting herself bench-pressed and deadlifted in place of his barbell and weights).
Sun’s Out Buns Out isn’t a destination for swingers, but Kyakoda still makes friends and attends little parties, just letting everything hang free all the time. They answer their door and tend their garden and talk with neighbors about the weather, content with being free and open. Sometimes they miss the snow back home, but when it’s drizzling, they like to head outside and walk along the beach, letting the water run over their skin—and if no one’s looking, they’ll hide under a palm tree and completely break the community’s very strict ‘no PDA’ rule. 😏
I really appreciate you introducing me to nudist!Kyakoda, anon!! 😄😆 And I loved answering this ask—you’re welcome in my inbox anytime! ☺️ Thanks again!!!

Top 5 canon ships
Maiko. Probably kind of obvious.
Kantoph. Also probably kind of obvious.
Sukka. For as little as I read/write it, I actually really like Sukka.
Okay, honestly? #4 is probably Linzin. For how little Linzin I've read, I actually really kinda love it every time I think about it.
Masami, I guess? I don't know. I don't really vibe that well with any of the other canon ships from ATLA or LOK, to be honest. Hakya most of the time, Urzai some of the time, kinda indifferent to pretty much all of the rest except the Red Lotus, who I...do not exactly like that much. And I haven't actually watched the second half of LOK so I don't really have an opinion on the rest of the canon ships.

Been thinking of Hakoda/Kya/Bato throuple, and reasons Sokka and Katara call them dad/mum/bato respectively. Or:
Why Bato doesn't get a parent name
- They weren't a throuple until the kids were children, by then he was very established as Bato
- He was away working a lot when the kids were young so he didn't feel he had the right to ask for a parent name
- Bato was horrified by the idea of being called dad because he was Too Young And Beautiful and by the time he realised he actually would like to be called dad it was too late
- Bato came out as a trans man when the kids were children. To replace calling him Mum the kids picked the new name, and as a variation of dad they chose Bato. When asked what he was going to name himself when transitioning, Bato replied "The children have already named me"

Hakoda: Running a tribe is a lot of work, but that’ll all change when my children arrive. 😁
Kya: So...you already have kids? 🥲
Hakoda: Not yet, but I was hoping you could help me with that. 😏
Kya: You want me to marry you??? 😄
Hakoda: Well that’s a bit sudden, but alright! 😉

cannot stop thinking about hakoda being the cringiest freshman in college. he’s got braces, he’s got acne, he wears pajamas pants as much as possible, he brought his stuffed animals, he’ll talk for hours about the latest sci-fi franchise, he’ll recount his last dnd session.
