#internalised homophobia and theoretically *could* have a healthy relationship they don’t like each other Like That anymore

this may feel sacrilegious coming from tuser maileesque but sometimes. I think about maizula

#in the canon timeline it wouldn’t be a very healthy relationship obviously but it doesn’t give me that same. Hck. feeling ty.zula does #idk. maybe post-canon when azula has healed significantly #when she has finally made peace with the fact that she’s a lesbian #she meets up with mai (who she hasn’t seen in a long time) and very casually almost off-handedly confesses #in a ‘oh btw jsyk I used to have the biggest crush on you’ way with absolutely no expectation of it being requited #just to get it out #and mai realises just how much she’s changed #it doesn’t have to be requited for me to like this scenario I think them just being DykesWhoGotOverTheirInternalisedHomophobia solidarity #is just as good #it being requited (& acted upon) would create such a funny polycule tho #maybe it would be like. they both used to have a crush on each other and hated themselves for it but now they’ve worked through that #internalised homophobia and theoretically *could* have a healthy relationship they don’t like each other Like That anymore #but they can rebuild a friendship on the foundation of the mutual fondness that gives them… #elli rambles #though maybe fondness isn’t the right word but idk what else to call it #anyway. conclusion: sometimes maizula good 👍
