Kyoshi X Rangi - Tumblr Posts

I know im late but ,Happy rangshi week!

Day 1(2?) : Love Across Tmelines

There is something so important to me in Rangi always being so determined to be the best of herself, to not disapoint, because her duty, her "armor self" is who she was trained to be, its where she hold her pride over and she cannot fail, as if she does it she is nothing

But is in the iceberg where Kyoshi gasped at the vision of Rangi without her armor and her top knot that is the first time in the books we actually see Kyoshi looking at Rangi in a romantic way

There is just something so sweat in Kyoshi not even knowing from what clan Rangi is from, but noticing that she trace the flor with her finger when she's nervous

Or how she is so happy to discover Rangi's favorite snack, and momentarily froget all the anxiet about the party she's in and start to think in how to get them into Yokoya

How she overflows with love at Rangi exasperaed ranting at her about traveling with her mom, because is in these moments Kyoshi can see Rangi just being herself, and its when (in her own words) she fells falling in love again

A memory of Kyoshi, Rangi, and Koko in Yokoya for summer vacation.

so uh…..remember how Rangi said ‘I’m nothing to you’ after she found out about her mother being used as bait situation?

I just think the choice of words is so silly and fun because even when Rangi’s enraged and her mother’s life is in danger she could never say to Kyoshi “YOU are nothing to ME”. Usually in this scenario, Rangi saying she doesn’t care for Kyoshi makes more sense especially because of how hurtful it is. Instead, Rangi decided to insist Kyoshi shouldn’t acknowledge her existence anymore. Man she couldn’t even lie.

There is genuinely nothing Kyoshi could have done to make Rangi love her any less like how do we move on-

Hei-Ran: *watches as her daughter sprints across the mansion to look impressive in front of Kyoshi*

Hei-Ran: *remembers the time she was walking by Junsik and stared at him for so long she collided with a wall*

Hei-Ran: she’s just like me for real

Saw something that said Kyoshi and Kuruk likely ended up with more of a brother/sister relationship than a mentor/student one and I’m here for it:

Kyoshi, spiritually contacting Kuruk: holy shit dude you’re not gonna believe this

Kuruk: girl what’s going on out there?

Kyoshi: okay so basically Hei-Ran is so obviously into this Water Tribe chick right? So being the amazing future daughter in law that I am, I set them up

Kuruk, gasping: you didn’t!

Kyoshi: I totally did. It worked, as I knew it would because I know a useless bisexual when I see one. However, it seems that Rangi is unaware of the fact that they’re dating

Kuruk, cracking up: that’s adorable! Oh, that kid always had a bit of issues trying to find out who likes who

Kyoshi: I know right? Good thing I’m so perceptive!

Kuruk, snorting: yeah okay

Kyoshi, frowning: why did you say it like that?

Kuruk: you are probably then most dense woman alive

Kyoshi, offended: I am not! I am so aware of stuff!

Kuruk, deadpanned: Rangi had a crush on you literally the entire time you guys lived in the mansion

Kyoshi: that-that is a lie! There’s no way! She did not give me a single hint!

Kuruk: a month after you moved into the mansion, Rangi spent the entire day glued to your side because you mentioned you had a nightmare

Kyoshi, blushing: she was being a good friend

Kuruk: she was holding your hand the entire time. When have you seen Rangi initiate physical contact with anyone else in general?

Kyoshi:……………….if you weren’t dead already I’d punch you so hard you’d be sent to the spirit realm

"Rangi must have lived almost as long as kyoshi and also been staying alive via meditation, kyoshi would have just fallen apart without her"

No, we're missing an angst opportunity here guys

Yes, we all know that Kyoshi would be a mess without her and would probably either neglect herself to the point of dying or kill herself, but you know who else knows this?

Rangi.

I'm picturing Rangi on her deathbed, terrified of this eventuality, with her last breath begging Kyoshi not to die for her, to take care of herself.

Of course even with this, Kyoshi, despairing tries anyways and gets damn close.

But at the last second, she stops. She can hear Rangi almost see her crying in front of her, begging her not to do this.

So she lives, and keeps up her meditation because every morning she can picture Rangi, crying, begging her to keep going. To live for her.

So, over two centuries pass with several attempts, moments she almost gives in, almost let's go. The memory of Rangi stops her each time.

In the end though time takes its toll on her memory, her voice, her face, it all fades away.

Her grief and pain does not, only worsening with the realization she does not remember her love, her joy.

She can't remember her insistence on stupid horse stance training, their kiss on the beach, what made her laugh, what made her cry. Not even what either of those sounded like.

So-at last- when she tries, no voice, no tears, no face comes to stop her, to beg her to fulfill her final wish.

A wish she can't even remember.
