okay some hcs because little V is bored
Izumi deeply dislikes that Iroh II is part of the United Forces, if it were up to her, he would've stayed at least in the nation's army. not that she'd ever let him know that
Azula had spies keeping an eye on Lin during a couple of years when Toph started leaving her basically on her own, to make sure she was okay
needless to say, out of all the kids of the gaang (not counting Izumi), Lin is Azula's favorite
when Izumi announces her retirement, Ursa gets furious and doesn't talk to her for days. she was a mess of frustration and anxiety until she actually talked to her mother (and broke down)
Both Iroh and Ursa have a ring with a flying boar engraved on it
sometimes Ursa needs to rant and since her brother is never in the fire nation, she goes to wherever her mother is and just rants. sometimes she'll just go to the throne room while Izumi is working and start talking. Izumi just listens to her daughter <3
Lin always knows where Izumi's glasses are. always. Izumi will sometimes call her and tell her she lost them, to which Lin response is always along the lines: "did you look (place)?". Izumi always finds them there
IZUMI IS VERY HOT WHEN SHES ANGRY OK

what's your thoughts on people naming zuko's granddaughter ursa ii?
Hello anon!
I don’t see anything wrong with it. Zuko loves his mother very much, and Ursa was likely a good grandmother to Izumi, Zuko’s daughter. So I think it’s fitting that Izumi would name her own daughter Ursa.
Thanks for the ask!

1. How does Ursa react when she finds out that Linzuo is officially a couple? Does Lin tell her?
2. Does Tenzin disapprove of Lin and Kaz's relationship?
1. Oh I think Ursa will be over the moon and insist she is a bona fide matchmaker to everyone she meets going forward even though she had very little to do with it. “ Representative Kazuo and Lin? Seems unlikely unless you have the eye of a true matchmaker like me 💅🏼” and yes Lin will be the one to deliver the happy news lol.
2. Disapprove might be a strong word for it, but he does not like it. He just doesn’t see Kazuo as being Lin’s type and is skeptical they will have any long term success. Generally I would say he probably thinks Lin has been coerced into it somehow lol

The Gaang being 'bad parents' didn't ruin their characters.
I've seen this argument tossed around a couple times and it's honestly one of my least favourite criticisms of lok.
Katara (and Sokka but we have no confirmed kids for him, which seems unrealistic with how much game he had) lost their mother as children and their father was forced to abandon them when they were barely starting their teens. They were raised by their grandmother with little to no peers of their own age.
Aang did not know his parents and a huge chunk of his childhood was him being groomed into taking up the mantle of the avatar and mastering airbending. He also was isolated from other kids his age. His closest parental figure was Gyatso who was more of a teacher than a father. Also the Air Nomads were literally wiped out so that adds to the trauma pile.
I really don't think i have to talk about Zuko's family life here, but at least he had relatively positive parental figures in the form of Ursa (though i do have a burning personal dislike of ursa) and Iroh. Despite this his struggle around the subject of his family and his trauma relating to his upbringing was a focal point of his character arc.
Toph was raised in isolation by her asshole abelist parents who did not listen to her, sent people to capture and bring her back and then disowned her. (If my cursory understanding of 'the rift' is correct, I need to actually read it because i am unreasonably obsessed with the Beifong family.)
Where, pray tell, were they supposed to learn proper parenting skills? On their brief stint as child soldiers? While fighting a war as literal children?
There is the argument that they must've matured later in their lives, of course. But you can only recover so much from copious amounts of childhood trauma.
Being a bad parent doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. Sure it makes you a failure in an incredibly delicate and important aspect of human life but it doesn't make you a bad person. And saying that it does takes a lot of nuance out of the conversation.
Like, do you know how easy it is to fuck up a child?
Especially that the ways the members of the Gaang 'fucked up' as parents feel mostly in character.
Bumi was going to face some struggles with self worth due to being the firstborn child of the Avatar and arguably one of the most powerful waterbenders in history, while being a nonbender himself. That much was unavoidable, no matter how his parents approached the issue.
And Aang was obviously going to be over the moon when Tenzin was born. Think about it. He's literally the last of his people. He has no one else 'like him'. No one else to pass down the traditions, the teachings that Gyatso and everyone else he cared about and who were horrifically murdered to. Aang is getting older and he feels like his culture and history and his entire life before he got trapped in that damned iceberg will die along with him. And then Tenzin is born and Tenzin can take up the mantle that had been thrust upon Aang.
I'm going to withhold my judgement on Izumi and Zuko, since we barely know anything about them. She seems well adjusted but that's all i can say right now. But Zuko has also been shown to be extremely, painfully aware of how fucked up his family is and has clearly been putting in a lot of work to unscrew what his ancestors have screwed up.
Toph situation feels very tragic to me,because it's obvious that she thought she thought she was doing better than her parents. She gave her daughters the freedom to do what they want, to not feel opressed and trapped like she had. How was she supposed to know that she was making her girls feel like she didn't love them? (Here's another post of mine about the Beifong family and how they just feel like they're cursed or something at this point.)
TLDR; I get annoyed by people saying that the Gaang being 'bad parents' ruined their characters, because to me it felt like it actually enhanced them.
Neither Aang nor Toph acted out of malice or a lack of love. On the contrary, Toph was trying not to repeat her parents mistakes, accidentally committing a bunch of her own. While Aang probably didn't even realise that he was neglecting Kya and Bumi.
But just loving your children doesn't always make you a good parent.
I think these flaws only add to them as characters. It makes them feel more real.
It's unrealistic and, frankly, just plain boring to go 'oh the Gaang were all good people so they would be good parents too.'
The Gaang were a gaggle of traumatised children forced into saving the world, because the adults around them failed them, that then grew into traumatised adults who have no idea how to be good parents.

I couldn’t help myself, I made another OC. This time for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II.
Meet Evelyn ‘Ursa’ Dubois, lieutenant in the French Commando Marines, medic on Task Force - 141. Think of her as the stubborn medic who took an oath to do no harm, but takes no shit if you mess with her patients. I’m still working on her backstory, but her mother is a doctor and her father is a chef. She’s married to Ghost in my own twisted little universe, but the only people who know are Price and his family, and Laswell.
Standing behind her is @sleepyconfusedpotato ‘s OC Jade. She is so adorable, I just wanna squish her cheeks.
I feel like Jade and Ursa would get along pretty well. Which is a bit of a problem for Price, when he realizes Jade likes to egg on Ursa when she’s on her annual prank kick around April 1st. They become downright villainous when they work together. Ursa on the other hand would be like an older sister to Jade, maybe a mentor who helps her open up about what she had gone through during her time with MI6.
Maybe I’ll write out a full profile and make a character sheet someday, who knows.

Iroh gave up his position as crown prince at around 19-20yo, after he joined the United Forces
Izumi was already teaching him and preparing him to be fire lord so it basically ruined most of what she had planned for him as heir and it forced Ursa to become the next in line for the throne
over 10 years passed and despite all her love for her son, Izumi doesn't believe Iroh would be a good fit for the crown anymore
hes a general, not a king

SUPERMAN II
Directed by Richard Lester and Richard Donner Written by Mario Puzo, David Newman, Leslie Newman, & Tom Mankiewicz Released December 1980 Previously: Superman The Movie I remember really enjoying this film as a wee lad, I think because I was just such a huge fan of Superman, but as I grew up my memory of it changed. Watching it again, for the first time in over a decade, has my opinion changed…

What's Lin's friends opinion on Kaz? (Kya, Bumi, friends from the force etc)
Generally speaking, everyone gets along with him.
More specifically, Kya thinks he's alright, if you're into the establishment type lol. She thinks it's good he helps to loosen Lin up in social situations a bit- as far as Kya's concerned that's a plus.
Bumi likes him because he's easy to talk to and indulges his tall tales with a lot of comments like "No kidding?" which just urges Bumi on and he loves to tell a story. He thinks Kaz is a funny, laid back guy.
Friends from the force- for the most part they get along well with him too (he's very charming) there is only one person in my HC that doesn't care for him much but that might be some jealousy at work ;)
You didn't ask specifically about the FN contingent, but Zuko's family absolutely LOVE Kaz both on a professional and personal level. I think Zuko specifically is tickled that Kaz and Lin ended up dating.
