I don't know where this idea I see in a lot of fanfics came from but Katara doesn't look much like her mother. She looks like Hakoda and Kanna. With the more squared off upper face with the sharper chin.

Front facing image of Hakoda from the show.

Front facing image of Katara smiling slightly

Sokka looks like Kya. His face is more oval shape moving into his chin with softer curve rather than a sharp angle.

Image of Sokka training with his sword. He's holding it defensively as he stares at his opponent with determination.
Front facing image of Kya as she smiles weakly towards Katara off screen.

Obviously it's not a one to one thing and I know it's a popular trope to compare a child to their dead parent, particularly if they are the same sex, but Katara seriously doesn't look much like Kya and I think it would be nice if someone told Sokka, the kid who can't remember Kya's face anymore, that he looks like her for once instead.

Katara taking over the role that her mother had in her tribe has me thinking about Sokka’s throwaway line about the fishhooks in his thumb. Someone had to help him bandage it up, especially if all the adults had gone to fight in the war. Katara would definitely have fulfilled the first aid giver role, and maybe if Sokka had tears in his eyes while sharp hooks are stuck in some of the most sensitive nerves in the body, she might tease him lightly, or pretend to not notice.

Maybe if they were younger, she might distract him with a song their mother used to sing while kissing booboos, gently wrapping wounds with linen gauze. Sokka might act like it was no big deal, false bravado and machismo still going strong, but maybe inside he’s grateful to his sister keeping his mother’s memory alive. Wearing the necklace every day, eyes the same shade of blue, singing the same song.

Even as his mother’s face and voice fades from his memory, he will never forget the love, love of his family. Of his mother, and his sister.

gif of digitally inked animated frames. first frame is completely white, the next frame is of a small mittened hand parting the curtains to an igloo contrasted against grey snow, through a sheer white icy haze, and the final frame is of the previous illustration without the haze, now in focus.
digitally inked black and white comic frame of yon rha looking down at katara with a sinister smirk against a black background.
digitally inked black and white gif of kya smiling at katara while a black splotch gradually covers her face until the entire screen is black.
digitally inked black and white comic panel of katara lying down, having just awoken from a nightmare, tears streaming down her face.
digitally inked black and white gif of kya hovering over katara with a concerned expression, saying her name. she gradually comes more and more into focus from katara's pov as she begins to open her eyes.
digitally inked black and white comic panel of katara, in the same position as before, asking "mom?" while a person's shadow looms over her.
digitally inked black and white gif of sokka now coming into focus, making the exact same expression as kya was, their faces identical. sokka is wearing his hair down, and there are stars behind him. he says, "it's going to be okay katara" in the final frame.
digitally inked black and white comic panel of sokka holding a shaking katara in his arms against the starry black sky. katara's eyes are filled with tears as she says "but–– you were..." while sokka, eyes closed, shushes her gently. they both have their hair down.
the same comic panel as above, only know there is no speech, and both of them have their eyes and mouths closed as sokka holds katara.
digitally inked grayscale comic panel of kya holding a younger katara in her arms in a very similar way to how sokka was holding her in the previous panel, only far happier. unlike the rest of the comic, the background is a pale grey, with white flurries of snow mimicking the stars in the previous panels. the text besides them reads "fin." in a cursive font.

Which is worse? Forgetting your own [mother’s] face, or being forced to witness it every day?

little comic that didn't take long at all to draw hahahaha (i love pain)

Three panels featuring sokka, zuko and kya from Avatar: The Last Air Bender. 

In the first panel, we see sokka from the side, bust up, lying in a bed with a red cushion. He is looking towards the viewer, holding a strand of black hair in his hand in front of him. 

The second panel shows zuko from the waist up. Lying in the same bed as sokka,  head placed on a  red pillow. Black hair pooling all around him. His back is turned to the viewer that sees sokkas POV from the previous panel. Sokkas hand is in the foreground, inspecting the hair strand more closely. 

The third panel shows kya in the same position, with her back turned to the viewer, just like zuko in the panel before. Head resting on a pale gray pillow with fur texture. Sokkas hand in the foreground is smaller, holding onto strands of dark brown hair.
Three panels featuring sokka and kya from Avatar: The Last Air Bender. 

The first panel shows, on the left, little sokka lying on his belly on top of fur bedding. He is looking at the hair strands in his hand. On the right is his mother, kya. You don't see her face yet. 

The second panel has kya on the right, turning towards her son.  Face still  slightly out of frame  but you see her mouth open. as if she noticed her son's movement and is checking on him. sokka is looking up at his mother. Pulling the hair strands closer to him. 

The third panel has kya turned on the side towards her son. One hand lovingly placed on his cheek. Speaking softly to him. We, as viewers, don't know what she says. Small tears are welling up in sokkas eyes.
Three panels featuring sokka, kya and zuko from Avatar: The Last Air Bender. 

In the first panel, we see a close-up frame of kya's face, lovingly looking at her son. her hand still on his cheek. Sokkas small silhouette in the foreground. 

The second panel brings us back to the present. A close-up of an older sokka looking in disbelief at the scene in front of him. The tears escaping his eyes. a pale hand has reached out and is carefully brushing a huge tear away from sokkas eye. 

The third panel reveals zuko in the same position as kya before in Panel 1, concerned looking towards sokka, mouth open as if he is asking "what's wrong"
Three panels show a sequence featuring sokka and zuko from Avatar: The Last Air Bender. 

In the panels, we see sokka and zuko from above lying in bed. sokka on the left, zuko on the right. The light is shining in from the right. 

In the first panel, sokka is looking at zuko, still crying and zuko still leaning towards him, concerned. 

In the second panel, sokka pushes himself towards zuko, burring his face into his partners' chest and putting an arm around the other. zuko looked shocked and confused at the top of sokkas head. 

The third and last panel is sokka curled up between zukos arms, openly crying into zukos chest. zuko holding him lovingly between his arms, offering comfort.

(ID in ALT Text) Happy very, very late Mother's Day!

I am not saying that zuko is sokkas substitute for kya. or they look in any way similar! The whole concept here is that something was happening at the moment, be it how they were laying in bed, how the hair pooled over the pillow, or how sokka was able to hold onto it. It just brought sokka back. It triggered a memory, and suddenly he relived a brief memory. Making him suddenly miss his mother again. hope you enjoy!

This has probably been done a million times, butttt.......

AU where Zuko was born a Water Bender.

Call it the spirits fucking with Ozai, call it "technically the avatar is the master of all four elements and Zuko's a descendent of Roku".

Zuko was born a Water Bender. Zuko kept it secret from his father at the request of his mother.

Ursa went out of her way to hunt down a Water Bender to teach her son in secret, lying and saying that the Water Bender was just a nanny because Zuko required more work than Azula.

She got Kya, of the Southern Water Tribe.

Kya, who isn't actually a Water Bender.

Ozai knows his son is a bender, but he thinks he's being spited because Zuko refuses to Fire Bend near him. When he challenged Zuko to Agni Kai, he did it to "teach his son a lesson", but also to finally give Zuko an excuse to Fire Bend.

But Zuko didn't.

Zuko got burned and banished, and Kya went with him and Iroh.

i love this type of AU so much!! Like, Ursa running and taking little Zuko and Azula to the south pole is such a cool idea. I read an AU on ao3 recently where when Ursa realized she was going to have Azula she faked her death and took little 1 year old Zuko to the south pole. The AU also had Ursa running away when she was 7 or 8 from her parents and ending up on Kyoshi Island and meeting Kya and they dubbed each other sisters in that AU, but this post reminds me of that

au where ursa takes the kids and runs and goes to the south pole because idgaf and then she meets single mom kya whos husband tragically died in battle and they become fridged mom powercouple and also we have one set of siblings who have to go and save the avatar
