Okay so we agree making Toph a cop in her future was a bad decision.
But then, many ask, what should she do instead?
………………………Well.
It would only make sense if the rulership of Omashu was elected/otherwise non-inherited.
And that place already has a background of batshit kings who couldn’t really give a fuck about the law if it’s in their way.
IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-

Copperhead takes time to warm up to people. In his experience, most people cannot see past his appearance and treat him differently, be it with thinking he's creepy or worse, thinking him an animal due to his serpentine looks. Copperhead is okay with the latter; people who assume his intelligence is low or that he doesn't 'experience feelings' like a human only makes it all the easier to take them by surprise when they underestimate him so badly.
#🐍 || musings#🐍 || headcanons#He experiences this a lot#Moreso people finding him 'creepy' which is fine by him#He doesn't trust people easily and is fine with whatever they think so long as they pay him for his services#Those who try to play him or give them less than what he agreed to will pay for it another way#It's funny because he will be so quiet and let them assume he's not as intelligent as he actually is#When really he's taking everything in and judging the fuck out of them#One of the few things he's thankful for in having a hard time expressing himself facially is that he can feel rage but look calm af#Which is another thing that's creepy about him because he just can't make the same facial expressions ordinary humans do#And a lot of people naturally assume that because he can't show it then he can't feel it#No eyebrows to indicate surprise or incredulousness#No ability to blink so can avoid any tells that excessive blinking would indicate#No blushing because scales#Can't really blame people for finding him uncanny but it is what it is#I'm feeling a bit better again but I have the hospital in a few hours so gonna catch a quick nap#I have two days off but otherwise I'm working damn near every day until New Year so maybe I can eke out something#Thank you all for being so wonderfully patient with my stupid ass#And thank you to new followers also I promise I am not ignoring you I'm just having a tough time lately#Bless you Chrome for inspiring this thought#I needed distractions tonight x

obligatory ' it's time to post laera's spell list! ' as an aside, laera is not bound by in game/table rules of EK's spellcasting. it doesn't make sense to me narratively given how much she loves spellcasting and eagerly wants to learn about it/magic. so, here we go!
laera started off having a very complicated relationship with magic. divine magic was forced on her to learn while she grew up in the abbey of blinding truth, and she grew to resent it. naturally, once she was free from the shackles of tyr's doctrine, as a sign of protest and reclaimation over herself, she dove into learning arcane magic. for reasons she can't explain, all of her spells take on a blue hue.
— you focus your study on magic that creates powerful elemental effects such as bitter cold, searing flame, rolling thunder, crackling lightning, and burning acid.
of the elements, fire is a preferred favourite. laera herself is as uncontrollable as flame; burning hot with hatred, passion, resolve… for close quarter casting, green blue flame blade and immolation; for the times laera needs to thin out enemies or create an opening, fire bolt, scorching ray, the much beloved fireball, and chromatic orb ( when she's wanting some elemental variety ) are staples in her spell casting. while practical for combat purposes, laera also uses them for utility as well when not facing down foes. lastly, a notable mention and straying from the comfort of fire: laera's personal favourite is the well used thunderwave.
the fires of her magic burn blue, and as such, are very damaging and extremely hot.
— the school of abjuration emphasises magic that blocks, banishes, or protects.
laera is fiercely protective of what she values: her life, her ideals, her friends. abjuration fulfills her desire to protect. blade ward was the first ever spell she learned and it allowed a foundation for the rest to follow. shield, warding glyph, and warding bond are meant to mitigate and redirect damage, whether it be intended for herself or a companion. other aburation spells like counterspell and dispel magic are meant to completely neutralise enemy magic, while private sanctum offers a secure resting place in dangerous situations.
overall, laera has worked exceptionally hard to teach herself arcane magic. years worth of self-study went into honing her skill, but she is still, of course, a forever-learner! additionally, partnering spell casting with her fighting style has been a rewarding challenge. she is a sword + shield fighter, her hands are full. however, because of her weapon bond, laera is able to summon her sword to her hand at will — whether that be from its sheathe or the pocket dimension it might be held in — she is able to cast, swing a sword and block with expert fluidity.
evocation and abjuration are her preferred schools of magic, but she knows additional spells from other schools, picking and choosing ones she finds useful, such as the ground covering misty step… ironically enough, for all the damage laera absorbs, she knows zero healing spells!

oh my god you watch m/anifest??? marry me rn i am On My Knees 😭😭 i've been waiting for so long for someone else on snzblr to get into it so this is like. the peak of my existence. i literally love you omg this is so!! i am Screaming!! & also,,, if you have any snz thoughts/headcanons about literally any of the characters,,, i would sell you my soul for them,,,,,,,
HI ANON!!!! Ahhhh! Yes I’ve been watching religiously since it first aired in 2018!!!!
Have a few headcanons for some of my fave characters!
Zeke
Zeke literally died from frostbite and came back so I think when he gets sick or has a fever, he gets the chills
Because he died from the literal cold before I think that would also make him emotional in a lowkey ptsd sort of way - delirious and cold and not sure how to fix it
Zeke is a major empath so if people around him are sick, I think he feels it too. Sort of like those phantom pregnancies that some men experience? I forget if that’s actually what they’re called? Sympathetic? Don’t quote me on that lol
Also because he’s sober I think he wouldn’t want to use NyQuil or cough meds
Ben
Ben is a super duper good caretaker. Dad of three??? You can’t tell me this man doesn’t know how to take care of people.
Ben also seems to be easier going in terms of slowing down to actually rest? Like he’ll probably still check shit out if it’s just a cold but otherwise he’ll just work from home like a normal person.
If he’s super sick maybe he can’t differentiate fever dreams from callings.
Mick
Mick thinks she can handle everything on her own. Whether it’s Jared or Zeke telling her to slow down, she isn’t gonna listen. She’ll find her way around it or around them to get shit done.
If she gets a calling and she’s sick she’s going to go investigate anyways because it’s in her nature to put others and their safety first.
Jared
Listen okay. I think Jared is so fine. Like jeeeeeeesus. That’s not a headcanon that’s just a fact 🫡
Jared’s the guy who would stay home sick but if Mick called him for help or if he knew she was about to get into trouble, he’d be out of bed in a heartbeat to go stop her or bail her out
^ that being said she would give him shit. “You’re supposed to be in bed!” And him like “I would be if you weren’t getting into trouble!!”
I thought I had more headcanons but I am also sleepy and blanking rn. If I think of more I’ll reblog this with them though!!! Thank you for asking 🤭

Neutral Evil
You are 93.3% evil, 18.3% chaotic, making you neutral evil.
Roman Sionis is primarily concerned with himself and his own advancement. His primary interest is in getting ahead in life. If there is a quick and easy way to profit, he will pursue it, whether it be legal, questionable, or even obviously illegal – as long as he stands to gain from it. Although Roman does not have the every-man-for-himself attitude of Chaotic Evil personalities, he nevertheless has no qualms about betraying his friends and companions for personal gain. Neutral Evil personalities typically base their allegiance on power, money, and personal gain, which makes them prone to two-timing and quite receptive to bribes.

Tender
Batboys x f!Reader
warnings: not explicit smut?, idk maybe. grey area..., okay ya it's smut but it cuts off before the sex
Tumblr media
Squeezing your eyes shut, you curled inward on the mattress, tugging the sheets over you as the cramps washed over your body. Stomach churned, your cycle so painful it took the breath from your lungs as you laid in bed.
The door creaked open, Rhysand’s violet eyes studying you with a graceful caution as Azriel and Cassian forced their way around him. Cassian’s nose scrunched at your scent, Rhys cooing as the three Illyrians moved closer towards you.
“Your cycle?” Az questioned, a scarred hand brushing sweaty hair from your face as you looked up at him with a pitifully weak nod.
“Oh, what can we do sweetheart?” Cassian murmured, gruff voice low as he settled next to you on the bed. His weight dipped the mattress, a sharp pain shooting through your sore chest at the movement.
All eyes turned wide at your reaction, a cautious aura blanketing the room. “Did I hurt you?” Cassian eked out, his voice cracking with guilt while he studied you for injury.
“No, no,” you breathed. “I’m just... tender, is all,” you admitted, cheeks flushing a rosy red as your gaze dipped quickly to your breasts and back.
“Oh,” Rhys rumbled, his scent turning darker, muskier. Breathing grew heavier among the group, need rising painfully in your core at the sight of three powerful Illyrians, barely restrained from touching you.
“I- It helps, to massage them, usually,” you breathed, hardly above a whisper. You refused to look at any of them, sure of your own arousal wafting through the air. “If you all would go, I can take care of myself.”
Rhys and Cassian shuffled awkwardly toward the door, but Azriel’s voice cut through the air like a dagger. “Do you want to?”
You resisted the urge to moan at his husky tone, daring to meet the hazel eyes which bore into yours. “Want to what?”
A smirk turned up the corners of the shadowsinger’s lips, gaze turning predatory as he stalked toward you, Rhys and Cassian close behind. “Do you want us to touch you? To make you feel better?”
An involuntary gasp escaped you at the question, wide eyes searching each male in the room only to find desperate need and desire. “Yes, please,” you breathed, chest subconsciously arching toward them.
Azriel was first to reach you, gently grasping the straps of your nightgown as he tugged the silky fabric down to reveal your chest to all three males. They sucked in a collective breath, their scents thickening the air in a way that had your pussy clenching around nothing.
“Please, please touch me,” you pleaded with Azriel, gaze then flicking to Rhys and Cassian as you grew impossibly desperate. 
With a grunt, Cassian dove past Az, tongue flicking out against your left nipple as rough hands kneaded your breast. The pain and pleasure mingled with each other in a dance, gasps forced from your mouth, head tilted back in ecstasy at the sensations.
Yet, still you needed more, and begged for such from your High Lord. You swore you could feel approval ripple through the air, Rhys’s long nimble fingers toying with the bud of your right nipple, the feeling so different from Cassian your mind reeled to catch up.
Hips ground against the mattress, your arousal mixing with the blood from your cycle to create a pathetic wetness between your thighs. “Gods, I need more,” you half-moaned, half-cried as Rhys’s tongue flicked your nipple, Cassian’s canines brushing the other as he sucked the bud.
Dazed eyes found Azriel’s, the male standing proudly with arms crossed as you came undone in front of him. “You,” you growled, hand finding the strength to yank him toward you by the collar. “I need you.”
That cocky smirk only deepened, Azriel looking down at you with unconstrained pride as shadows wound up your limbs, sending goosebumps over your skin. “Oh believe me, love. We are nowhere near done with you.”

I think the key component to my personal reading of post-Delphi Pharma is that he's trying to be a horrible person on purpose. Not "on purpose" in the way that people have free will to exercise their own choices, but in that Pharma's "mad doctor" persona is a performance he puts on to deliberately embrace how much everyone else hates him. Basically, if people already think you're a "bad Autobot" and a horrible doctor who just kills his patients for fun, why try to prove otherwise to people who have already made up their minds about you? Just fully embrace the fact that people see you as an asshole. Don't try to change their minds. Don't plead for their forgiveness or understanding. Just stop caring. If you're going to be remembered as a monster, you might as well be a memorable monster, and eke as much pleasure and hedonism as you can out of it before karma catches up to you and you inevitably crash and burn.
I mean, I guess you could just go the route of "Oh, Pharma was always a fucked up creepy guy and Delphi was just him taking the mask off," but I really don't like that interpretation because, for one, it feels really wrong to take a character like Pharma becoming evil under duress and going, "Oh well clearly he did the things he did because he was evil all along," as if somehow Pharma breaking under blackmail/torture/threat of horrible death was a sign of him having poor moral character. As opposed to, you know, suffering under the very real threat of horrible death for himself and everyone he cares about while being manipulated by a guy who specializes in psychological torture.
The second reason is that it just doesn't make sense to write Pharma as having been evil all along. I mean...
Tumblr media
Occam's Razor says that the best argument is the one with the simplest explanation. Doesn't it make way more sense to take Pharma's appearances in flashbacks, his friendship with Ratchet, his stunning medical accomplishments, and the few we see of him speaking kindly/sympathetically (or in the least charitable interpretation, at least professionally) towards his patients and conclude "This guy was just a normal person, if exceptionally talented." Taking all of these flashback appearances at face value and assuming Pharma was being genuine/honest is a way simpler and more logical explanation than trying to argue that Pharma for the past 4 million years was just faking being a good doctor/person. I mean, it's possible within the realm of headcanon, but the fact is Pharma's appearances in the story are so brief that there simply wasn't room in the story for there to be some sort of secret conspiracy/hidden manipulation behind why Pharma acted the way he did in the past.
I just can't help but look at things like Pharma's friendship with Ratchet (himself a good person and usually a fine judge of character) and the fact that even post-Delphi, pretty much every single mention of Pharma comes with some mention of "He was a good doctor for most of his life" or "He was making major headways in research [before he started killing patients]" which implies that even the Autobots themselves see Pharma's villainy as a recent turn in his life compared to how for "most of his life" he "used to be" a good doctor.
Tumblr media
And although Pharma doesn't know this, we as the readers (and even other characters like Rung) know about Aequitas technology and the fact that it actually works, so... if Pharma really was an unrepentant murderer, why couldn't he get through the forcefield too? The Aequitas forcefield doesn't require that a person be completely morally pure and free of wrongdoing or else how could Tyrest get through, just that they feel a sense of inner peace and lack feelings of guilt. Pharma has murdered and tortured people by this point, and put on quite a campy and theatrical show of how much he sees it as a fun game, so why then can he not get through?
It circles back to my headcanon at the start of this post that the "mad doctor" persona is just that-- a persona. Delphi/post-Delphi Pharma's laughing madman personality is just so far removed from every flashback we saw of him and everything we can infer based on how other people see/saw him before that, to me, the mad doctor act is (at least in large part, if not fully) a persona that Pharma puts on to put his villainy in the forefront.
To avoid an overly simplistic/ableist take, I don't think Tarn tortured Pharma into turning crazy. To me, it's more like the constant pressure of death by horrific torture, the feeling of martyrdom as Pharma kept secret that he was the only one standing between Delphi and annihilation, the physical isolation of Messatine as well as the emotional separation from Ratchet, being forced to violate his medical oaths (pretty much the only thing Pharma's entire life has been about), etc. All of that combined traumatized Pharma to the point that the only way he could avoid cracking was to just stop caring about all of it. Because at least then, even if he's still murdering patients to save Delphi from a group of sadistic freaks, Pharma doesn't have to feel guilty and sick about doing it. As opposed to the alternatives, which were probably either going off the deep end and killing himself to escape, or confessing to what he did and getting jailed for it.
In that light, Pharma becoming a mad doctor makes sense. It avoids the bad writing tropes of "oh this character who was good his entire life was actually just evil and really good at hiding it" as well as "oh he got tortured and went crazy that's why he's so random and silly and killing people, he's crazy" and instead frames Pharma's evil as something he was forced into, to the point where in order to avoid a full psychological breakdown and keep defending Delphi, he just had to stop caring about the sanctity of life or about what other people might think of him.
Then, of course, the actual Delphi episode happens, and Pharma's own lifelong best friend Ratchet basically spits in his face and sees him as nothing more than a crazy murderer who went rogue from being a good Autobot. Then Pharma gets his hands cut off and left to die on Messatine. At that point, Pharma has not only been mentally/emotionally broken into losing his feelings of compassion, he's received the message loud and clear: He is alone. Everyone hates him. Not even his own best friend likes him any more. No one even cared enough about him to check if he actually died or not. He will only ever be remembered as a doctor who went insane and killed his patients.
So in the light of 1. Having all of your redeeming qualities be squeezed out of you one by one for the sake of survival and 2. Having your reputation and all of your positive relationships be destroyed and 3. People only know/care about you as "that doctor who became evil and killed his patients" rather than the millions of years of good service that came before.
What else is there to do but internalize the fact that you'll forever be seen as a monster and a freak, and embrace it? People already see you as a murderer for that blackmail deal you did, so why not become an actual murderer and just start killing people on a whim? People already see you as an irredeemable monster who puts a stain on the Autobot name, so why beg for their forgiveness when you could just shun them back? You've already become a murderer, a traitor, and a horrible doctor, so what's a few more evil acts added to the pile? It's not like anyone will ever forgive you or love you ever again.
Why care? Why try to hold on to your principles of compassion, kindness, medical ethics, when an entire lifetime of being a good person did nothing to save you from blackmail and then abandonment? Why put yourself through the emotional agony of feeling lonely, guilty, miserable, when you could just... stop caring, and not hurt any more?
#squiggposting#pharma apologism#i'm sure the doylist reason for the writing is just that pharma was a designated villain#so since he's a villain and 'crazy' it's fine for everyone even the good guys to treat him like complete trash#i just think from a watsonian perspective taking a sympathetic approach is way more interesting and logically consistent#what i mean is like. from a meta perspective one of the best ways to show that a character is super evil and not worth saving#is when even the good guy heroes. the ones who are supposed to be kind and compassionate and wise. see him as dirt#and this is also kind of a necessity in most plots bc TF is the kind of series that just needs action villains and long-term antagonists#so not every villain is written or has a plot to be made redeemable. and pharma is one of these bc he's not important or a legacy character#so from a doylist (meta) perspective you could read the autobots' disregard of pharma as a sign of#'this guy is not meant to have your sympathy as a reader. pay no attention to him'#but from a watsonian (in universe) perspective it paints a miserable picture of pharma being utterly forsaken by the ppl he served alongsid#and like yeah i'm super autistic about pharma so of course i view him with sympathy but like#the idea of being a loyal and good person for years only to be subjected to a Torment Nexus of#being blackmailed into breaking all of the oaths you held sacred. under threat of you and all your comrades dying horrible torturous deaths#then when your comrades find out about it they focus solely on the 'harvesting organs' and not on the 'blackmail' part#and then you get literally left for dead by your comrades and best friend hating your guts#and then you get rescued by a guy who uses you as a test subject for his evil machine#this is a fucking nightmare scenario like pharma could hardly be suffering more if the author TRIED to make him suffer#and for me it's like. the evil pharma did can't be decontextualized to what drove him to that. as well as the question of like#how easily ppl can write someone off as evil and turn a blind eye to (or even find satisfaction in) their suffering bc theyre evil#and either brought it on themselves or it's just karma paying a visit#like. i feel like if pharma WERE a shitty doctor and a terrible person his whole life then the delphi situation would feel like karma#but the way it's written and the lore retroactively put in makes it feel more pharma getting thrown in a torture carousel#and THEN becoming evil. but then being treated as if he was always evil or was some sort of bad apple#bc like i'm not opposed to LOLing when a villain gets a karmic torture/death related to the wrongs they committed#but in pharma's case it feels less like karma and more like endless torture + being abandoned by ppl who should have been more loyal

May I have Crowley eating out Nightingale with Crowley getting turned on just from that and trying to hump their leg and maybe some soft dom Nightingale, please? Those headcanons were very interesting XD
Tumblr media
notes: yes you absolutely may. this is what crowley needs and deserves. he's a sub.
pairing: crowley x reader (background crowley x reader x aziraphale)
rating: E, minors dni
Tumblr media
You both agree it’s better when Aziraphale is there, but when it’s just the two of you it can be pretty damn good too. 
Crowley is so needy. He is such a terrible sub but he’s too proud to admit it, so you have to eke it out of him in the act. Right now you’re sitting in an armchair, legs open, his mouth pressed to your sex greedily. You’re the one getting off but there’s no denying how turned on he gets fucking you with his lips and tongue. You tangle your fingers in his hair and pull gently, making him let out a little moan of frustration. 
“You’re so good for me, aren’t you, Crowley?”
He looks up, yellow eyes blown black, brows furrowed in desperation to hear your affirmations. You laugh and curl an auburn lock around your forefinger.
“Do you want to get off, hmm?”
He nods from between your legs, pressing into your harder with his mouth to show just how much he wants to both please you and find his release. You gently rearrange how you’re sitting so you can jam your calf between his thighs. He groans into you as you caress his throbbing cock.
“If you’re going to sit at my feet like a dog, you can fuck up against me like one.”
His eyes go comically wide. Yes, you know your demon likes just a little bit of humiliation to contrast the praise, a little bite with the sweetness. He grips your hips tightly and begins to press up against you. With each movement of his tongue you can feel him matching the rhythm with his hips, desperate to make both you and himself come. 
He’s doing quite a fine job with that first one. Crowley was made to give oral. He looks so pretty down there, nose grazing your pubic bone, working you with his mouth like his existence depends on it. You caress his cheek with your hand and he looks like he’s going to melt.
“That’s it. You’re such a good little demon, aren’t you? So subservient to me. You’d do anything to get my approval, wouldn’t you? And I love it. I love you.”
Crowley fucks harder into your leg, more rapidly, his cock trapped between himself and your shin. His hand drops from your hip to wrap around your calf and pull it even harder against him, you can feel his thrusts getting uneven and sloppy, and you know he’s close.
“You want to be a pretty little thing and come for me, Crowley?”
That’s enough to press him over the edge. You orgasm as he does, letting him swallow down your release, and you feel the warmth as he comes in his jeans. 
He collapses to the floor, dramatic little thing he is. A wave of his hand cleans himself up but you stagger to your feet and then onto him, letting a leg lay either side of his thin torso so you can press your head into his chest. You stroke his hair and he nuzzles into your touch.
“You alright, my love?”
“Very,” he grins.

Design concept exploration
Would it be subjected to eventual changes? Likely yes, if I ever render them realistically is what allows me what designs works and what doesn't, for my sanity. I really tried my best to make the design not too overly detailed so if I ever have to draw them repeatedly, I get to draw them quick. Honestly, I think Max's and Leon's are close to pretty much final - they're almost exactly the ones in my head, Max especially.
Notes:
Max is def wearing Cielan clothing, a Griffins on his tunic. I'm pretty happy that I'm able to use my Worldbuilding hc of Cielans having gold on their outfits, from the leather to the cloth - to show that they're a rich city-state through conquering cough cough. A headcanon, his dad was a Captain of the Cielis Guard, Max is from a pretty important family of a long line of soldiers/stonekeepers. I'm still not sure whether to finalize it, but Max isn't undead here, but he's definitely cursed to die, and is dependent on the EK to keep him alive. Still, furs, because he never felt warmth again after Korthan (also, he uses ice).
OOMF EK is a struggle between "his iconic for his simple white design" and "he's egotistical and that should be shown by the opulence of his robes" and I'm still figuring out the balance. I might remove most of the gold. And also, oof, I realized if he's hooded, his ears should misshape the hood. But if I have his hood tucked behind the ears, he looks silly. So maybe I'd just trick people that if EK is looking at the side, his ears are hidden, but if he's fully frontal, you'd see his ears :P or maybe I should just add a slit in the hood. Aaah elf ears. You're pretty but a nightmare to work with. The idea behind EK is supposed to be "divine" or "holy", hence he has tippets, like a priest. You can even see it in the fancomic. But now I'm considering whether or not I should keep it... He has two fits: this one is for throne room only, hence it has a train. If he goes out, it'd be a bit different.
Leon already has great design, but I gotta make him a bit more unique - I maintained the general form, but the more specific details are different. Kanalian armor is a bit more different armor than those of other cities. The armor Leon wears is sorta? Leather? Studded, light armor for him because he relies on speed since he's no powerhouse. Spats, bc drawing laces are a pain. Simplified his arm guards to have metal plates. AM unsure about the white pants.

I've been thinking a lot about Katara and her feminism vs. her desire to preserve her dying culture. Like I know that the SWT probably isn't as sexist as the NWT, but there are still a lot of enduring practices that have roots in patriarchy, as demonstrated by Sokka's earlier sexism.
So I think Katara would end up with an odd mix. She's obviously a staunch feminist who thinks girls and women should follow their own paths, regardless of what society in general thinks their roles should be. But at the same time, she can't escape from some of the subtler (and possibly more insidious) traditions of 'propriety' and the role of women as the homemakers.
[Obligatory disclaimer that I don't know that much about Inuit culture when it comes to these things. I'm purely basing this off of what is shown in the cartoon itself.]
Something that kinda goes along with this is Katara's necklace. To her, it's a symbol of her grandmother's struggle for independence, as well as a memento of her mother and the sacrificial love she displayed. In the NWT, it represented (at best) a romantic commitment and (at worst) a transfer of property. I don't think she'd associate hers with either, and she'd probably be insulted if Aang tried to give her a new one when proposing.
(I maintain that the necklace she wears as an old lady is the same one she had in childhood. The fact that it looks wonky in that one screenshot is nothing more than lackluster rendering.)
Anyway, I've gone a little off topic. I just think she's a really interesting study in how someone can rail against the negative parts of their culture that don't appeal to them, while also having an internalized fondness for some of those same traditions, simply because they are familiar and nostalgic.
Take Toph for contrast. I don't think she's the butch anti-feminine person a lot of people make her out to be. She just does what she wants. She's perfectly happy to go to the spa or wear dresses and makeup, but only if it's her choice to do so. She's railing against the repressive and oppressive culture of elite EK society simply because she previously had no agency over her life.
Meanwhile, Katara takes an active role in seeing to the physical and emotional needs of her brother/friends. And even though that 'motherly' role is largely a trauma response and something she deeply resents at times, I think it's also a source of comfort to her. Something about her culture that she desperately clings to.
I think a lot about her and Aang's life post-war. They would be very focused on reconstruction for years, most likely. Katara would have her own projects with the Water Tribes, but also spend a lot of time helping Aang. Some part of her craves the validation of appearing to be 'proper' concerning her relationship with him. Maybe she's a bit hypocritical about it: unwilling to wait until they've settled down to be intimate, but also reluctant to publicly break certain social 'rules'.
She keeps telling herself there's so much to do in the world, and maybe she feels this heavy burden to do as much good as she can before allowing herself to rest and slow down and create the family she's always wanted.
But then ten(ish) years have passed and suddenly! Baby on the way! Oops! Katara knows she's a public figure and cares a lot about how she's seen. She wants the respect of the people from her own culture. And so they stop. They get married. They settle down.
Katara becomes the wife and mother, which she definitely wants while also having some lingering regrets and conflicting feelings. She still wants to be a role model for other girls and women, but she likes not being constantly on the move and fighting people and playing politics. She likes getting up in the middle of the night to sing an old Water Tribe lullaby to her baby. She likes it the most when Aang is there because he's always seen her as an equal partner, not a piece of property.
Anyway, I didn't really have a point. Just rambling about my own headcanons. I've always put a lot more thought into Toph and Sokka's characters, but I guess Kataang has been on my mind lately. And tbh I never gave Katara the attention she deserved when writing fics, which is a travesty.

relatedly to the post about female characters but far enough from the point that i don't want to derail it: queer headcanons and ships and fanfiction are great, but they aren't a total substitute for engaging with and supporting actual queer media, especially by queer creators, especially including historical + nonfiction + autobiographical work, especially stories that might make you a bit uncomfortable and make you confront real world bigotry or lived queer experiences that don't match your own
there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to see yourself in your faves, but trying to eke out tiny scraps of representation from super commercial mainstream media and only projecting on those characters while refusing to support the queer stories that smaller creatives are fighting (against worse and worse pushback) to get out there in the world, and frankly often treating the creators of queer art TERRIBLY for the tiniest possible "transgressions" in their work, is not actually meaningfully helping queer representation in media
the stories are out there, especially if you look into webcomics/self-published novels/indie games/etc. those creators need people's support and you really will benefit from opening your mind to a broader range of queer stories and experiences than AUs about marvel characters or whatever

How the hell do you find every accurate representative culture fashion for the avatar gang? Like it pains me the hell how people this good and hardworking can find these gorgeous cultural clothes and accessories and draw them so well and detailed like you- TELL ME YOUR SECRETS (Please)
idk about accurate. at the end it is still a fantasy world inspired by real life cultures contrasting or soothed out to fit a charakter personality and traits. listen if i spot an option to have a older fire lord zuko with his titts chest out i will go for it and nothing can stop me not even accuracy i say this as if i didn't already do it in private with seethrough material hahah
there is not much secrets behind it though, sorry its research, fact checking. often even the most random things. at least that is my method. you go to google and type in what you need and would like to know. read the wikipedia article for some general understanding on the topic but them go to the source part and check these out. or like double check these. if reading is not your thing there are lots of dedicated youtubers or ticktockers that love to share and explain parts of their culture or tradtions (clothing included. depends on what you research.) contemporary to that or after that you build up your visual library by collecting images on pinterest, or google or websites covering the topic you are researching. make your own folders or pin boards.
an amazing blog for atla real life culture sources is of course or beloved: @atlaculture blog!
https://www.tumblr.com/atlaculture who recently began to dedicate some post in flashing out more water tribe and air normad cusine, also instruments. its a delight to read through.
of course you have an easier time with some research than with other. some things are clear others a contradicting some are barley documented. it is also necessary to have an occasional reality check. like reread your sources see if there is something new. replace what you misunderstood before. don't always go for what looks pretty and aesthetically good to you. there is a reason why things looked like they did. was it the material, was it protection, was it culture.
a part looking at contemporary photography i personally preffere to look at how people liked to depict themself at that time. Statues, wall painting, illustration, old fotos from that time and compare them to current pictures to see how they used to stylize this element or to see what was essential to them. thats probably my old art-history phase flaring up again though hahah. at the end it is also how you Interpret and headcanon the atla world for yourself. before i were able to redesign jet i had to figure out how i want to draw fire nation armor. because to me jet repuporses a lot of the armor from the enemy. a shin guard will be used as an arm protection. the red shirt he wears is fire nation, a shoulder guard that fits will just be used as it is. i just assume that FN armor is better in being fire resistent than earth kingdoms ones.
but fire nation armor is a chellenge on its own again. because is it tang dynasty? is it song? but the collar protector is a typical thai armor element. how do i combine that? is there a history behind it?
speaking about armor what would be the southern water tribe one? if it is lamellar ivory armor, how and why does it look so different by season 3 at the day of the black sun? did the southern water fleet separated form their home begin to adopt EK styles. switching out kuspuk and parkas in for sleeveless wrap shirts and armor with inside plating like they have in ba sing se? because that what was aviable to them?
(appart everything the talk of armor is in general really curious because... what do you wear when you go in to fight against fire??? in the poles you can argure that it is not a concern. if you burn you roll in the snow but in the EK... hm.. they dont have fancy heat resistand clothing like fire fighters have now.... armor is ment to cushion off impact and or slicing. our standard armors conzept can work well against earth-, water- and air bending (to some degree) but fire burns what do you idealy do against that? leather helps to some degree)
while the southern water tribe is clearly circumpolar people inspired (although lacking lots of world-building which you can kind of excusing it with... the war destroyed everything but also... uh.... its a nearly 20 year old show.... ) the northern water tribe shows korean or even mongolian elements. so what do you want to focus on? i personally like to make things connect because these characters live in one world togheter and trade and exchange happens. (yes even during a 100 year war or at least there had to have been a time of influence and the lack of exchange froze(*snorts*) this culture in time) you know... migration? and transition of style and life through out history.
maybe i overthink things to much for just drawing some clothes... -srugs-
