In which we discuss the furtherment of an alternate universe where Avatar characters are gender-swapped.

Previous discussion:

Thread is heaving.

Okay, sorry I'm late.

So like I said, Azulon just needs something to make him feel a need to assert his superiority after taking it for granted.

Grandpa ordering his death might work
>>
>>77182845
The plot would change from "Kill your firstborn son" to "kill your daughter", since Aunt Irah will be mourning Lu Tan and Fire Lord Zoesin will be all up in Princess Oza's shit.
>>
>>77182845
>>77183046

I would say, that is better to just change Ozai/Ursa/Zuko/Azula, if we go until grandparetnts, things will start to get strange.

Also. here are some things that I saved from the last discussions.
>>
>>77183133
>>
>>77183133
Shit doesn't get strange.

When you reverse gender, you just reverse the plot devices that are respective of their gender.

So instead of Toph and Katara going out for a makeover and a girl's day out, Topher and Katar go do some guy shit.
"Yo, Katar. You think girls find me, y'know... handsome?"
"You kidding? If I were a girl, I would."
"Thanks, dude."
"No problem, buddy."

Honestly it's when you start trying to genderbend principal characters but at the same time leaving side and bit characters as they are, that shit gets convoluted. Zuka and Mai obviously wouldn't work now, would it?

I go the opposite, when you change only a few or a single principle character, you can focus on changes for the want of a nail.
When people change everyone, a 1:1 shift tends to occur, thus making the change not worth thinking out.
>>
>>77183510
I disagree. 1:1 shifts are what lazy people do when they genderbend. Since genders are dimorphically different both physically and even mentally, there'd be differences that could be taken into account.

For example maybe Aangie would be reluctant during that swimming episode because she's got the painters in. The Siku/Sokkara would be very different. Would Sokkara lust for indifferent dick? Would Siku beat up Sokkara when they first meet?
>>
>>77183254
>Shit doesn't get strange.

>When you reverse gender, you just reverse the plot devices that are respective of their gender.

I know man, I just think that it gets unnecessary to flip Grandfather Azulon, or Iroh too. Genderbending works better if you flip just some onf the characters.

I think that we should work with two scenarios:

- One where just the fire/water siblings get swaped, leaving Toph and Aang normal. Plus Fire Lady Ozai for milf points.

and...

- One where the entire main cast gets swaped, including Aang, Toph, Ty Lee and Mai.

>>77183745
The dynamic of male Aang and female Sokka would be fucking gr8

And has much potential for drama since Sokkara would feel fucking helpless trying to protect Aang, since she doesn't bend. Imagine her desperate pleas for Katar to use the spirit water on Aang. And her whole motivation for visiting Piandao is so that she can participate in battles more, to help protect Aang.

And then if she fought during the Zuka/Azula Agni Kai, using nothing but her physical prowess to overpower Azula and win. Azula goes insane not only because she lost the Agni Kai, but because she lost it to a non-bender.

Shit, nigga. I want this to be a thing so bad.
>>
>>77183886
>Aang and Zuka during The Promise
Shit would be grave as fuck, man.
>>
>>77184029
I also like the idea that it becomes sort of a bawdy Legend that the virile, manly Avatar conquered the Firelord's She-devil daughter in both body and heart and making her change alignments.

I can just imagine the Harlequin romance novels with a bare chested muscular Aang, holding Zuka, clad in a ripped bodice.

And I can imagine Tenzin throwing a crap attack whenever he hears about it later:
>MY PARENTS WERE COMPLETELY NORMAL PEOPLE apart from being the Avatar and the Firelord.
>>
I've said it before, but the question needs to be asked what the theme should be. I think any good alternate universe has a theme and good AU and elseworlds writers know how to follow that theme to its most natural conclusions rather than just making changes that will give them what they want.

So, I think a general theme should be established, something like "this is what happens when you change all the Gaang's genders" or "This is what happens when you change just siblings' genders" or "This is what happens when you just change Zuko and Azula" and then follow that where it should go for better or worse

I can just imagine the mover (An Ember Island production):

>A muscular, oiled up Aang stands strapped to a wall in the Firelord's dungeon.
>A leather clad seductress enters the stage
>"Welcome to my play room, Avatar. I hope the chains aren't too tight."
>"The chains around my wrists are nothing compared to those you put on the hearts and minds of the people, Princess. I'll manage."
>She curls an eyebrow and points her whip at him.
>"For now. I've broken many a man in here. In the end they were all licking my boots and begging for mercy. And so will you."
>Aang scoffs manlily.
>"Once again, you underestimate my willpower. Your chains are tight, but they can not hold me."
>He breaks free and catches Zuka's whip as it comes down.
>"UNHAND ME AT ONCE!"
>He pulls her into a tight embrace, restraining her.
>"But the strongest chains, are around your heart, princess. Isn't that true?"
>Zuka struggles feebly inside the bearhug.
>"How dare you lay hands on me?! I am the heir of the Firenation!"
>"Of course, but you are also a woman who deserves to be loved, rather than feared."
>Aang pushes his lips on hers. She struggles for a while before giving into the kiss completely. When he finally lets go, she's got stars in her eyes and her mouth stays agape.
>"I never knew it could be like this."
>"If you'll excuse me, Princess. I have a world to save."
>Zuka grabs onto his arms.
>"Oh Avatar, take me now."
>Aang hesitates.
>"Take me now, or I'll call the guards!"
>"If you insist."

Meanwhile Tenzin is beating his head on the theater seat in front of him.

Actually, which kids would exist in LoK, given Tenzin still exists despite different parentage.
Maybe better to focus on main TLA for now.
If I had my way, I'd go with Izumi as Fire lord, Tenzin still youngest, and Honora as the theoretical daughter of Zuka and Aang if created as canon, seeing how each other child of original series takes parental traits.
Honora is still my favorite theoretical name for Zuko's daughter, regardless of canon.

It's just fun to imagine that a stuffy guy like Tenzin came out of this along with Honora and would have to deal with the fact that his parents relationship gets weirdly fetishized in popular culture.
I mean wouldn't you be, if pic related was what people think your mom was like before your dad conquered her with his dick?
>>
>>77185292

Agreed, lets stick with ATLA.

Right now, I'm starting to think the best route to go might be just changing the Fire/Water siblings, Suki and maybe Aang but leaving Toph and everyone else the same. Leaving Toph alone is fine as she's pretty gender neutral for the most part. Plus if she was the only member unchanged or the only one next to Aang, you'd get to see better how the original timeline characters interact differently with alternate versions of their friends

Boy Toph teaching mantara how to pick up chicks even though he's just as clueless?

Really though, why change Toph. Aang I can understand, but I don't feel like anything great comes out of mantoph because I feel like Toph would act the same regardless in most cases
>>
>>77185893
>Female Aang and male Zuko.
Aang would definitely thirst for the fire dick.

Zuko would probably pretend he doesn't find her sexually, but Iroh would know he does and would encourage Zuko to be true to himself. Once Zuko finds out they're spiritual relatives, that would awaken a dormant thirst that Zuko never knew he had. A need to combine spiritual and blood lines.
>>
>>77186141

Aangie is still twelve though, in some states, Zuko would be considered a pedophile

Would Katar save Toph from her whore ways?

Would male Toph even take care of his kids on RC?

Would the fangirls lust after male Suyin or Male Lin?
>>
>>77186482
Well, I kinda feel like things would turn out different if Lin and Suyin were male.

For one thing, instead of not talking to him for decades, Lin would beat seven shades of crap out of Suyin the first time he sets foot into RC again.
>>
>>77186482
>man with facial scars
I'm not a girl and I'm already lusting after Male Lin god damn.

Also Katar is such the calm, loving fatherly type that Toph would readily turn into a mother goose. Lin would be a hardass only because of his hardass mother, but he wouldn't have all the baggage of MOMMY DIDN'T LOVE MEEE. Which would improve the show because holy fuck did every single character have tons of emotional baggage weighing them and the overarching plot down.
>>
>>77186482

Fem Toph is a whore in any timeline.
>>
>>77186752
I fucking hated Toph.

She's a cute kid that has parental issues but finds meaning and happiness through her friendships. But then she has kids and turns into a shitty parent, making that personal growth completely nullified. In fact, she was fucking worse than her parents. Toph's parents, misguided as they were, were at least looking out for her. Toph basically discarded Lin and Suyin when they didn't amount to anything and got into trouble because MUH CAREER
>>
>>77186876
Not really, Toph tried to do the opposite of her parents, and let the kids do everything that they wanted.

It's actually a common behavior with overprotected childrens.

Or Male!Azula with his devoted secretaries Ty Lee and Mai.

The later would probably remind me of Paptimus Scirocco with all the creepy manipulation and shit.
>>
>>77187796
I think male Azula with female friends would be interesting. I guess because I would be interested to see how a psycho like Azulon handles a virtual harem that includes his older sister

I think either way, Azulon will end up being totally creepy when it comes to his sexuality. I keep picturing a a mixture of bisexual debauchery, a violent edipus complex and a repressed desire to fuck his older sister

Eh, Azula really didn't have a sexuality beyond The Beach. Here, with Azulon constantly around Mai and Ty Lee, either he'd be always trying to get some, but getting rejected and realizing he can only make a girl kiss him by force or he'd be like a sociopath trying really hard to act like how he thinks he's supposed to act but feels absolutely nothing and both he and others know it.

With Azula, it didn't feel like she was asexual as much as she never had any real opportunities to explore her sexuality and she just repressed it because it would be a crutch and maybe she felt like she wasn't THAT kind of girl, and she probably felt even more like that after the beach. The only men Azula interacted with outside of Chan were her brother, father, and servants/soldiers

If you were going to change Azula's gender, but not Mai or Ty Lee. You're having a young boy who's spent most of his childhood with these two girls and his sister with no male friends at all trying to figure out how this romance shit works now that he's expected to pick one of them to be something more than a servant with no real model besides his parents relationship.

I could get a kick out of Azulon trying hard to make advances towards Mai and Ty Lee and being shot down. Mai could be like "I've told you not touch me, why don't you get it?" and Ty Lee could try to be nice about it and friend zone him gently because theyve known eachother for so long but it just makes him more upset. I don't know

Thinking of "Tales of Ba Sing Se" redux with Aang and Zuka date, considering Jin was the one to invite Zuko out originally. Considering Aang would be in disguise, maybe he could be dared by Sokka or Toph to ask a single person out to prove he has the guts to, when questioned why he hasn't put a move on Katara.

Perhaps the date could be driven by both characters putting up masks to their actual personalities, before relaxing and letting their guard down. Fancy restaurant until they get kicked out, and they get cheap noodles together.

The fountain was chosen because it was Jin's favorite spot in the city, so to keep the lantern lighting bit/reveal of Zuka's identity, there would require a transition to that. However it happens, I'm split between Aang realizing Zuka's identity leaning in for a kiss or in the act. The former allows for a recoil, in which Zuka thinks it's for how she looks, and Aang reassures that he likes her.

That, or it could go with a Batman Returns-esque "mistletoe" exchange, where they both realize who each other is once the date is over based on reprisal of something each other said.

Another idea, is that they could be in a lit location, amd Aang puts out lanterns with Airbending while Zuka has her eyes shut.
>>
>>77194396
I don't think Azulon's the type of guy that would take no for an answer. I think he'd try and impose himself as the only man in both their lives, as well as Zuka's probably.

>The Tale of Sokkara
>It's just her and Jing fucking for 7 1/2 straight minutes

>>77194489

Maybe he'd be willing to let it slide at first, but get more upset when he loses control of other things. When he's on a roll, I doubt Mai's snark would register anything more than a rolling of his eyes. But when shit is going downhill, I doubt he'd be ready to hear it.

You'd probably want to build up to a climax where he drives them away by being too forceful.

That might actually be a way to redo the Beach. Maybe the Beach is where he realizes just how alone and undesirable he is as he notices how Mai and Ty Lee just kinda forget about him. Then maybe he steps outside and meets some nameless girl whom he at first seems to hit it with, but after five minutes of talking with her misreads her and tries to make out with her and it becomes a huge mess for him after that.

And speaking of the Beach, for Zuka, you could have guys trying to talk to her and backing off as soon as they see her scar

Just some ideas

I see Azulon being more emotionally manipulative than even his female counterpart, switching between being abusive of Mai and Ty Lee and feigning affection for them.
I don't see it as much of a sexual thing. He just likes toying with them. All his creepy seductiveness is reserved for his older sister.

But you could make it more interesting by having him dangle the prospect of marriage in front of their noses. Azulon is probably the most desired bachelor in the Firenation.
Which might make Mai's family pressure her into sucking up to him.
In Ty Lee's case it'd be a definite way of finally standing out from her herd of sisters.

So despite feeling increasingly uneasy around him, they still try to remain in his good graces.

I especially feel like Azulon would constantly put Ty Lee down with underhanded compliments and generally chipping away at her sense of self-worth while pretending to be her friend.

In a way that's much more messed up than Azula's thinly veiled threats.
>>
>>77194481
I like the idea of the mistletoe exchange, but I'm unsure how you'd do it.

I think the two of them slowly letting their guard down as they spend time together would be cute.

As for how it starts, what I personally would like to see would be Zuka asking Aang out after being pressured by Iroh (who obviously knows that Aang is Aang and is aware of Zuka's little "thing" for her quarry)

>>77196706

Azulon probably knows these two would only be friends with him on the condition that he might marry one of them eventually and boost their family's status. At least with Azula, you had that girlfriend, mean girl boss of the clique thing. Here, it feels like you would get a teenage boy who's grown up with no friends besides Mai and Ty Lee who in this scenario would probably just hang out with his sister if given the choice.

I like the idea of Azulon being more emotionally manipulative, but I feel like just as The Beach was a chance to see a more self conscious and vulnerable side of Azula, you would probably have that happening a lot with Azulon as he tries various ways to win over Mai and Ty Lee and is repeatedly shot down, reminding him that he might not be as perfect in others' eyes.

I agree though that if you're going to have him act creepy towards anyone in a seductive manner, it should be towards his sister. But there should be that element like with Azula where there is a genuine interest on his part in trying to attract the opposite sex. It just needs an approach that preserves Azulon's menace and dignity while humanizing him a little. Mai and Ty Lee's attitude towards him could also trigger Ursa flashbacks of being rejected or ignored.

>>77196633

It would be best for Azulon to have a unique way of interacting which all three women in his life.

With Mai, he'd be the most aggressive because Mai probably wouldn't put up with him as easily. I even think Mai would probably be the most honest in just saying from the beginning that she doesn't like him

With Ty Lee, he could whiddle away her self confidence little by little to make her more open to his suggestions

With Zuka, you could just go all out with creepy pervert vibes and making Zuka dance by setting off her emotions

I think Azulon is the frightening "What if Joffrey Baratheon" was actually smart and had some self discipline" scenario.

I thin trying to make Ty Lee emotionally dependent on him would be a given.

In Mai's case he might occasionally drop the mask to remind her of her place. But only when they're on their own.
>Your sarcasm seizes to be amusing. In fact it's grating on my nerves.
>I didn't realize I was here for your entertainment, Azulon.
>And that's where you're wrong, Mai. You are. You and Ty Lee, your families and friends, you all exist to serve the Firenation. Serve ME. You'd do good to remember that.
>I'll try to be more amusing then... jerk.
Azulon pushes her against a wall and smiles.
>You know Mai, someday I really might marry you. I'd keep Ty Lee around as a bed warmer, of course. I wonder which of you would be more miserable then.

I think it matters how subtle Azulon would be and how less subtle he'd become as time goes on. With Mai, she'd only be around a guy like Azulon because her dad is making her. At first it'd be like "You're just a barrel of laughter aren't you?" The two of them would be equally sarcastic to one another, but then at some point Azulon would finally decide Mai no longer amuses him and orders her to show him respect, but before that maybe there's no real animosity beyond the two getting slightly irritated with one another.

Ty Lee would be the type where she's too innocent to think badly of Azulon, even though he belittles her constantly behind a mask of friendliness.

Mai and Azulon call each other names and irritate each other, but it has never really come to blows until Azulon begins wife shopping, in which case Mai's snark and wit ceases to be amusing to him and become more offensive because while he may tolerate some of that from a henchman but not from a future bride. Azulon definitely would be more smiles with Ty Lee because as long as he smiles at her he can say anything and she won't take offense to it even though he's trying to destroy her sense of self worth. It'd almost be like making an extremely pretty girl feel extremely ugly and if she's innocent and pure, you make her feel dirty, just so in the end she's more likely to have sex with you when she normally wouldnt

>I just wanted to prove... I thought, I could make you...

She looks down, but Azulon lifts her head back up by her chin, so that their eyes meet.

I think it'd be awkward for both of them.
But I think Zuka doesn't even want the attention.

Plus you also have to consider that they're there with Azulon, who'd be annoyed by the presence of the suitors if not worse.
That could end very poorly for them.
>>
>>77211346
Even though a lot of people act like Azula bullied Ty Lee like a lap dog, she did so only sparingly, in most cases she treated Ty Lee like a friend or like a soldier in under her command, only she didn't have to worry as much about being thrown overboard because she and Azula had been friends since they were little. Azula got mean with her to assert her authority when she felt it was necessary.

Here, Azulon is treating Msi and Ty Lee less like his friends and more like his bitches. Mai would get more respect from Azulon because she's willing to stand up to Azulon on occasion and while that might get on his nerves, Azulon can't help but respect it, especially when he's in need of her. On Ty Lee's end, if Ty Lee was intimidated by Azula, she'd be terrified of making Azulon angry and maybe there is a bit of attraction there. If you remember Ty Lee would compliment Azula on how smart and stuff she was, chances are Azulon would demand more of such praise

I'd see it as a chance for Ty Lee to challenge Zuka's self-image and showcase how much she has advanced in even allowing others in.
Really depends on whether Zuka's character development in S2 regresses before joining the Gaang.
I still support Azula staying female, so "The Beach" is a full fanservice episode.

You'd really have to change a lot of the focus of The Beach in this situation. Even they aren't formally dating, Azulon would still treat Mai and Ty Lee like his "girlfriends". But it'd be cheap to just have Azulon behave like Zuko did when he saw guys flirting with Mai.

There's also the question of whether Zuka would even attract any suitors with that bacon face

Azula got mean with her to assert her authority when she felt it was necessary.

It's common for abusers to do that though. Like they would be horrible to their victims at one point, only to be affable or even very sweet towards them so they could manipulate their victims into staying with them.

Having Ty Lee be subject to Azulon's whims and having her fall into sort of a beaten housewife routine seems kinda fitting.
Mai more or less hangs on for her sake and the indirect threat that both Ty Lee and her family would suffer if she high tailed it. (There might also be a bit of a strange chemistry between them, a "I hate you so much I want to fuck you" vibe).

Hell, you could go so far as to actually have a bit of jealousy in Ty Lee's eyes when Zuka returns to be Azulon's favorite chew toy again.
Though Mai will eventually beat some sense into her, he had his hooks in her deep.
Like a good pimp, Azulon knows you gotta fuck with their minds.
>>
>>77220148
I quite like the idea of Mai and Azulon being lovelessly betrothed. Mai has to honor it in deference to her parents and plays into the whole "Azulon sees them both as girlfriends" thing. It would initially keep Mai from interfering with Azulon and Ty Lee's flirting because she'd be less confident about upsetting Azulon and the repercussions upsetting her fiance might have on her family and then when she can't take anymore of hi shit and begins to work against him, it makes it all the more cathartic.
>>
>>77220431
Dunno, what you say makes sense.
But I also like the idea of Azulon dangling the prospect of marriage in front of the girls like a carrot.
And I feel that if Mai and Him were already betrothed, Ty Lee wouldn't try so hard to stay in his good graces.
Maybe Azulon could even keep some kind of weird score as to who'd he choose as bride. Just to screw with him.

I like the implication that he used to have a whole host of girls pursuing him, but they all got worn out or scared away by Azulon's tendencies and now only Ty Lee and Mai are left because they're the most durable and useful.

And while Ty Lee hung on through some sense of puppy dog love, Mai's batting to marry that bastard so she can poison him on their honeymoon.

I think the best option would be to have Azulon dating both of them in order to see who will be his future wife and most likely the new Fire Lady if his getting the throne works out as planned. I like the implication that no other woman could stand Azulon except these two and even them he risks driving away. It creates a nice theme of Azulon just having a lot of problems with women in general. Plus, match making seems like the best way for a male Azula to meet friends that her female version first met in a girls' school.

The only issue here is that there's a risk in Azulon becoming too much of a mustache twirling evil with no real human characteristics.

I like the idea of Azulon potentially being even crazier or more violent than Azula because testosterone and puberty which would add a more potent element of sexual frustration, but one thing that should be kept from Azula to help create consistency between the two characters who are supposed be counterparts, is to bring some of those elements that made Azula tragic or sympathetic to Azulon's character. Even though Azula was a bully and violent, there were still times when you felt a little sorry for her or when she showed a more friendly side that was capable of at least some empathy. She could also be funny as a character in a kids show when it was called for.

I think in this whole Mai/Ty Lee/male!Azula triad, there should be a sense that Mai and Ty Lee might actually genuinely love Azulon if Azulon only really knew how to love himself. You could always throw in a moment where he tries to be more nice to Mai for once only for Mai to find it suspicious and out of character, which leads to a new fight. You could also have him abuse Ty Lee, but feel bad when he goes too far with it. Maybe he defends Zuka when some boys make fun of her scar. Just don't make him a complete psychopath and make sure to remember he's in a kids show.
>>
>>77221831
Agreed.
Azulon must have some positive sides.
Hell, there has to be something both Mai and Ty Lee see in him, which keeps them sticking around.
Not just that he can be really darn charming when he really wants to be, but also that he's protective of his friends and understands them to a certain degree. Even if he uses that understanding to manipulate.

Other than the bedroom scene, there's very little incestuous undertones to Azula and Zuko. But Azulon might feel more incestuous only because he projects his mommy shit on his older sister and his girlfriends.

Speaking of which, a unique twist on Azulon's own insanity could be to have him actually start believing Zuka IS Ursa, instead of just seeing her as an apparition.
>>
>>77221831
I don't really see anyevent in which Mai would be chasing Azulon, to be honest. There were times when she got fed up at Zuko and he's a gentle, delicate petal compared to Azulon. Even with the odd half-decent moment from him, Mai's too cynical and savvy to ever think he's worth the effort, Ty Lee's optimistic and little dim so it makes sense that she could fall under his spell but Mai's too sharp for that. She's also quite reserved as opposed to Ty Lee's openess, so it's more than likely that Ty Lee would make her feelings more blatant and I can't see Mai competing against her best friend in that way over a boy.
>>
>>77228153

With Mai and Azulon, it could just be a mix of lust and obligation for the most part. But there could be just a few moments, especially when Mai starts to "feel more" where she tries to understand Azulon a little better, only to realize he isn't really going to change any time soon.

Mai "hates" Azulon, but he commands with such authority that she can't stop craving his cock. That is until Zuka steps in and provides a counter influence.

Well given how pampered he is, he'd probably be metrosexual as hell. And dressing up as a woman to infiltrate the Earth kingdom wouldn't be that big of a deal for him. And with those high cheekbones and his clean, smooth skin he'd pull it off frighteningly well

I never for the impression Mai consisted Ty Lee that much of a friend until she had her back at the boiling rock. In fact she was easy more willing to go Avatar hunting with Azula than Ty Lee was.

In Azulon's case you shouldn't underestimate the sexiness of evil. Mai might be attracted to him genuinely before she catches how genuinely messed up he is.

Okay guyz, here is an idea for r63!Suki (Siku?) and his Kyoshi Warriors:

Instead of just genderbending the whole bunch without doing anything with them, what about a complete rework to keep them in line with the original idea? They are supposed to be japanese-inspired warriors heavy with feminism; that's why they had the kimonos, the war fans, and the facepaint. However, if you replace the feminism with masculinity, then you can pretty much forget those three and instead go full samurai with heavy-ass armour, scary masks, dual swords, and a great deal of macho behavior.

So as I can see Siku and his Kyoshi Warriors, they should be a bunch of badass samurai, ripped to the core and suffering from severe testosterone poisoning. Kyoshi would be the spiritual patriarch, the most badass samurai the Avatarverse ever had the luck to see. They would be wearing full heavy armour instead of the kimono, wield the katana+wakizashi combo instead of war fans, and have masks (pic related) instead of face paint. Their fighting style would focus on brutal attacks, simply overpowering the opponent with raw strength.

In their episode, the whole Sokkara/Siku thing would play out the other way around: Sokkara would try to prove herself as a capable warrior while Siku would be a major sexist asshole who only trains Sokkara because he has the hots for her. at the end, Siku realizes that girls can be warriors too, and there you have your lesson of the episode.

In Appa's Lost Days, Siku and his warriors would wield tetsubos of course.
>>
>>77231100

I don't see why all the Kyoshi Warriors should be genderbent. It'd be more fun to just genderbend Suki, following the theme of genderbending most of the Gaang, but leaving the rest of the characters the same gender.

Sasuki can be like one of those trans actors in the Japanese plays. And the gag could be that people think he's a girl when he's 100% heterosexual male.
>>
>>77230472
Their hate-sex would be legendary.
Including scratching, hair-pulling, biting, knife-play and literally setting the bed on fire.

In comparison sex with Ty Lee would just be okayish, even if she's a gymnast.
>>
>>77231300
I'll leave that up to you guys.

I was only thinking of switching the genders of all the sibling pairs and seeing how that changes the dynamic of the rest of the world.
Changing Suki's gender just makes sure that Sokka actually has love interest by the end of the show and isn't sleeping her way through all the four nations.

The rest is pretty clear. Aang winds up with Zuka, as it was destined to be.
Toph annoys her way into Katar's heart.

And Mai and Ty Lee go full Thelma & Louise only you know without that ending and all.
>>
>>77232463

Each of them should get a makeout scene showing just how each of them is seduced by Azulon. Azulon is gentle with Ty Lee so that she's reassured that he does have a "soft side" in spite of his treating her like a puppy in need of discipline. With Mai, its like " you make my skin crawl, you know that?" And he's like "in a good way, I hope."
>>
>>77234045
On one hand, the idea of Mai and Azul sex-fighting for dominance is entertaining, but Azul getting chi-blocked into paralysis while Ty Lee forces him to eat her out is too much fun.
Now I'm thinking of Male Ty Lee doing that with Sokkara or vanilla Ty Lee doing it to male Suki so she and Sokkara can finally have their way with him.

You have plenty of extra time until then to wash away your shame and self-loathing."

>>77247679
It's also part of his psychosis.
He wants to remain a boy until he finds a mother. And boys don't have hair on their bodies.
His small army of handmaidens exist to keep his body pure looking, youthful and soft.

Even the way he trains his body is tailored to make him lean rather than visibly muscular.

I was thinking more like a sort of pharaonic obsession with royal cleanliness and purity, but you could tie a narcissistic obsession with his youth/immortality into that.

Speaking of his psychosis, I said this sometime earlier, but I think at some point instead of seeing Ursa just like Azula did, he should start mistaking women who are close to him for Ursa.

Like maybe at the end of the series, when Zuka and Katar arrive to fight him, he's so far gone at that point that he literally believes Zuka is Ursa returned.
>>
>>77247910
I like it.
It's like the total deconstruction of his pimp persona.
First his sister ditches him for the Avatar.
Then his harem disintigrates in rapid succession.
Then his sister pushes his shit in. Along with a guy who actually respects women and successfully got over his mommy issues.
>>
>>77248091

It also works if you want to go with that angle of Zuka always being self-conscious about being compared to Ursa

>He mistakes Zuka for Ursa and explains he's set the flames to bring her out of hiding

>Zuko: "Azulon, listen, it's me, Zuka. Mother is gone. It's just us."
>Azulon: "Zuka? N-no, Zuka's not here anymore. She left to join that fool Avatar and his/her friends. Father left me too, he wouldn't even look at me. And Mai and Ty Lee are in on it as well. They all grew tired of me, just like you did. Not that I blame you...but still I..."
>Katara: "The guy's lost it."
>Zuka tries to convince Azulon to help them put out the fires, even playing into his fantasy.
>Azulon angrily refuses, telling Zuka/Ursa he will keep the flames burning for eternity to keep her there
>Katar says they can't wait and begins Waterbending the flames as best he can, Azulon freaks out and chases Katar through the burning buildings.
>Katar uses all the limited water at his disposal, even draining his sweat to fight back
>Just as Azulon is berating the water peasant for his shallow attempt to stop him, the flames that cover the whole city coalesce at a single spot in the center of the city, dancing in whirlwind around Zuka as she performs a move set that is uncharacteristic of anything else we've seen her do throughout the series: something less aggressive and more serene and feminine, almost Airbender-like. She causes the flames to twirl up into the sky and dissipate, leaving only thousands of small harmless sparks raining down and twinkling like stars briefly before they disappear.

Not him.

But I feel that people are spending too much time focusing on Zuka as some kind of perfect waifu, with problens regarding self confidence and that is always reduced by her scar.

Man...when the world threw shit at Zuko, and said to him to dont do something, he always reacted "fuck this, fuck that I will do because I am capable".

I wish we talked more about Zuka on skimpy clothes, kicking ass on Agni Kais, acting confident while burning Kyoshi island, and being annoied and flustered when considered fanservice by others.

People, Azula on the second season was a unstopable enemy, that strived perfection, she was alwyas calm and always trying to be on control.

If we make him unstable from the start, the viewers would laught at him, like some kind of Sasuke.
>>
>>77251308
Her moments tormenting Mai and Ty lee were also far between. They turning against her had to be a surprise.

I recomend Mai to be vitrolic with him, but not enought to hate him, maybe seeing him as an annoyance, because they are forced to marry, but besides this, they dont really care for each other, and she respect it.
>>
>>77251308
Azula was also a baket case from the start. But she had restraint before the end.

I think the same thing applies to Azulon.
He's not going to be running around, declaring himself some kind of god and yell for his mommy or something.

He'll just live a very extravagant lifestyle and manipulating women.

But the reasons for his behavior are rooted in his mental health issues.
If someone were to read/watch Azulon without knowing the full picture they'd assume he really is just that good.
Hell, people might even think the story has a misogynist slant in the way he treats girls like shit but they are still kinda drawn to him )and couldn't leave him even if they wanted to).
But then he's slowly stripped of his cool and you see him for what he really is.

In my mind Azulon would have this sort of progression to the viewer:
At first
>Wow, what a player!
Then
>Christ, what an asshole. He's still a pimp though.
And at last
>Now I just feel sorry for him.

As fun as the titty monster Zuka idea is, I don't think it suits her very well. Little ideas here and there about her being insecure and them getting in the way are funny in isolation, but she'd by nature be a very physical character and it would be thematically inappropriate for her tits to be too big during the serious combat.
Honestly, if you want to do boob humor, it's better suited to Sokkara. If she's a female Sokka, a large portion of her character is going to be dedicated to comic relief anyway, there's no reason it can't be a little risque. A female comic relief character is a pretty rare thing and there's been little discussion on how she'd be utilized in that way.

>>77249570

More or less, yeah. I like the idea that Azula may have acted out for Ursa's attention which she showered on Zuko, so here Azulon, who becomes a bit more unstable and might have been a little more neglected, thinks he can bring Ursa back by doing something really bad like he used to do when he was smaller. It also puts some emphasis on the fact that Zuka is the older sister and Azulon plays into that younger more destructive brother archetype, the kind who takes his sisters things like her dolls, makeup and clothes and hides or destroys them. We can't have Azulon behave too alpha in relation to Zuka, otherwise he might start to feel more like an older brother.

It's also good POETRY since on the other side of the world, Ozai is trying to burn down the Earth Kingdom. Here, Azulon, who is like Ozai 2.0, starts burning down the Fire Nation, or at least an important piece of it.

>>77251060

The thing is, I'm not entirely sure how you could do the Agni Kai in a situation where he is so delusional that he thinks the woman he's attacking is his mother.

>>77251708
>Azula was also a baket case from the start. But she had restraint before the end.

I will say one of the flaws of the series in my humble opinion was that Azula's more severe mental issues didn't have very many hints earlier on, which made the extent of her jump from sane to crazy feel just a little sudden. I'm not saying Azulon should be totally mad. But I think there's room for a better progression. Especially since the sexual/boyfriend dimension of his relationship with Mai and Ty Lee would require his relationship with them to have just a little more attention

>But then he's slowly stripped of his cool and you see him for what he really is.

Yeah, by the time of The Beach, you realize that his abuse of Mai, Ty Lee and Zuka has more to do with his fears that they'll leave him otherwise and deep down he feels there's nothing inside him, not because he's a total alpha.

As a big proponent of the former concept (and I still do), I think a balance of fanservice to character can/should be made.

Zuko remains one of my favorite character arcs in fiction, and finding a balance between character and wish fulfillment must be considered.

The best shipping works subtly, where the creator drops crumbs of interaction that sells the audience on a relationship working under the surface.
A gentle hand works better than forcing two characters together.

>>77250774

I agree, that's what I was going for here >>77249067 though.

I think throughout the series, it should be shown that Zuka tries really hard to repress those more peaceful feminine qualities she thinks would make her weak like her mother was. The problem with that is that it creates a lot of the same problems Zuko had, being such a try hard screw up and being so angry and ambitious that he can't think straight or pragmatically. That's why something like putting out Azulon's fires using a more tranquil form of bending that looks like Aang/Aangie's bending and the cooling technique Sozin used in Avatar and the Fire Lord (pic related). For most of the series, Zuka's been kind of a high strung bitch whose first instinct is to attack head on and gets angry very easily when things don't go her way so to have her embrace a certain degree of her own "femininity" in as much as that femininity allows her to take a more meditative and protective than offensive approach I think would help showing how she's internalized her lessons over the course of the series. And rather than making her weak, it's made her stronger than Azulon who can only destroy.

Also, with the Ursa thing, it would show some character development that instead of getting angry about Azulon's mistaking her for Ursa at this point if Zuka tries to reach out to Azulon to get his help to save the city by letting him believe his delusion since it doesn't change who she knows she is. She's Zuka, not Ursa, even if the whole world were to think she's Ursa, it doesn't change that fact. So by the end of the series, she stops trying to play into both ends of the spectrum (being like Ursa, trying not to be like Ursa) and becomes something more of an individual.
>>
>>77255658
Nice concepts.
I see Zuka's main arc would about choice:
It's fine for her play either end of the spectrum, as long as it isn't being forced upon her via others expectations.
Like >>77249725
It's fine to fit roles or stereotypes, but it has to be by one's own volition.

It's not like she'd be bouncing around like crazy during the fight scenes. The humor would come less from the boobs themselves and more from the fact that they're attached to an overly serious dork.

Could do a Darth Vader-esque reveal, where the public thinks that Zuka was killed in a political move, while she was actually exiled similar to Ursa.

Zuka could see her sex as a sign of weakness, and realizing that Ozai is terrible to others regardless of gender would help foster in S3.
If it's only Azula and Zuko 63'd, then Toph and Katara could be used to emphasize how they defy gender roles defined by society.

On the other hand, this could be retreading their arcs. Any feedback?

If the theme is exploring gender roles or masculinity/feminity, I think this can be done with Katar and Sokarra and I'm in favor the theme being at least that the sibling pairs are switched.

During the battle with Azulon, you'd have Azulon the destroyer and Katarr the healer. So the gender aspect there is pretty balanced since there's nothing about Katarr that would scream that he's particularly feminine, not like genderbent Suki whose gag would be that people mistake him for a girl even without the makeup. You also have Zuka, who for the most part is brash and "unlady like" tapping into that "maternal" aspect she always denies to save her home and this could be seen in the particular style she chooses to employ during such a scene. The flames destroying everything indiscriminately could be read as representing the dimension of masculinity which is embodied by Azulon who was robbed of that maternal influence. Zuka brings these into herself, gives them direction, calms them down almost like a mother calming upset children and then sets them free into the air. There's some really nice imagery you can do if you want to explore gender in this case. But then, another way to read it is that the flames destroying the capital represent Zuka herself and such a scene symbolizes Zuka's exorcism of that rage inside her.

I would say though that if you're going to explore gender in this kind of setting, one needs to avoid the pitfalls of Western thinking about gender which is to either regard it as absolute or entirely subjective. I think a more genuine yin/yang approach which is not loaded with too much transfaggotry or "muh evil white men" syndrome works best in this case and allows exploration of gender without compromising the individuality of each character.

No reason we can't do both. We could contrast the two: Zuka is self-conscious about her chest and sees it as a hindrance, while Sokkara loves to flaunt what she's got, makes jokes at her own expense, and deliberately makes herself into fanservice.

He was saying to make both Zuka and Sokka busty. But with Ty Lee and possibly Jin, that'd be too many big boobed chicks in one non-hentai anime.
>>
>>77265533
The issue is that Vanilla Avatar has a larger range of sizes, due to the larger selection of women.
If they're all gender-swapped, it's a smaller sample to average, and thus a larger mean cup size.
>>
>>77265616

Zuka has to be the biggest, that much is clear. So if you increase the average cup sizes in general, there's a risk of giving her E or F cups and that's not exactly practical.

Not necessarily largest, but equal to Ty Lee would be adequate.
Enough that they're hard to hide her identity.

>>77265802
I dunno, I think it would be funny if even Ty Lee was envious of Zuka in that regard

That's if Ty Lee isn't genderswapped though
>>
>>77265866
Nah, I'd say Ty Lee would be the kind who tries to get her into a dress or teach how to do makeup. She'd be overly helpful, and the caricature that Zuka see femininity is
The degree of femininity would be too direct and extreme for her personality, but interaction with Katara or Toph would be at a slow enough pace for her to dip her feet..
>>
>>77265919
*sees femininity as
>>
>>77265919

If you genderswapped the Water Siblings but kept Toph the same, Zuka would probably feel just a little more comfortable around girls like her and Sokkara who are a bit more rough around the edges. Genderswapped Aaang is basically a lite version of Ty Lee though. And if you genderswapped Suki, he'd be the most effeminate member of the crew.

But yeah, either way, Ty Lee should epitomize some of the femininity Zuka would hate to embrace, at least until she starts to see Ty Lee more as a friend. The whole "I'm pretty blah blah blah" deal that Zuko says in the Beach to mock Ty Lee would sound perfect coming out of Zuka's mouth after Ty Lee has been trying to get her to be more girlish.

>>
>>77267464
>>77267714

it's a tough decision between these two.

>>77267719

I think he needs to be intimidating, but it's alot easier if he doesn't look emaciated. Also, if his dad is ripped, he can be too.

He needs to look like he's Zuka's younger brother, like he trains extremely hard, like he's a miniature Ozai, his appearance should command respect when he enters a room, but it shouldn't divulge his power level, that is it shouldn't be intimidating but people shouldn't laugh at the suggestion that this kid could kick their ass, but it should have just enough of a deceptive softness to it that people, especially women, are baited by it. Maybe he also still wears some makeup. The guy very much thinks his hygiene and grooming should reflect his belief that he is purer than the masses and will not tolerate a single unfiled nail which might cast doubt on this. Viria's take on Azulon seems the closest to this >>77238794.


It might also help if we could decide on a hypothetical voice
>>
>>77268019
Muscles have precious little to do with commanding respect though.
Most villains have thugs who do all the heavy lifting for them.
Their power lies in how they carry themselves in any given situation.
The really muscular guys are usually just their thugs.

I see Azulon as being lean and fast with not a gram of unnecessary fat on his body. He's no melon farmer.
And I don't like the idea of just shrinking down Ozai and giving them the same physique completely.
Ozai runs on pure might makes right. And his design was supposed to reflect that.

Azula was an intellectual threat too and to a degree unpredictable.
That's like saying a snake needs to have the physique of a lion to look dangerous.
>>
>>77268172

>The really muscular guys are usually just their thugs.

Unfortunately, Azulon doesn't have any muscular thugs, just Mai and Ty Lee, really. I think the image of Azulon and his killer bitches works best if he looks enough like the kind of guy who could hurt them if he wanted to but is attractive enough to them that they actually want him inside them and soft looking enough that he can fool people into thinking he's innocent. That pimp image doesn't really work if he looks too much like a skinny nerd.

>And I don't like the idea of just shrinking down Ozai and giving them the same physique completely.

I'm not saying give him a six pack and massive pectorals, but he shouldn't look like if it weren't for his royal title or his ability to mess with people's minds like he'd be the kind of kid who'd get his lunch money taken.

>That's like saying a snake needs to have the physique of a lion to look dangerous.

Again, I think viria's design has what we're both looking for.

Guys, I think that you are doing a great mistake.

You are basically reducing the entire arc of the characters, and a good chunk of their motivation, to "fight gender roles efied by society".

I dont remember this even being that important to the female characters on canon, as it is in this line of thought. Sokka and Katara together, had less than 6 episodes where they dealed with things related to gender roles, and it on a show with more than 50 episodes.

I think its fine to think on how things would change, but making half of their characterizaion, motivation and their main arcs "huuurrr I am a woman, and all of my arc is based on it" is a bad way to do it
>>

>>77269914

>>
>>77270011
The only way I can imagine the incest scenario is with Azulon having some uncharacteristic melancholy and Zuka being dumb enough to try and show him some sisterly affection, like giving him a tender hug.
After like a solid minute of Azulon burying his head between her tits, she'd carefully try to pull herself free. This triggers something in Azulon and he starts desperately holding on to her and pulling at her clothing. Zuka only manages get out of his embrace by stepping out of her own garb.
She's about to take off but then remembers that she can't run around the palace almost naked.

In the next moment she becomes completely mortified as she sees that Azulon is pitching a tent in his pants (and most likely was since before he started undressing her). There's a look of bewilderment on his face as if he's completely on autopilot.
He shoves Zuka on the bed, who's too embarrassed and stunned to put up much of a fight. Despite her protests of "We're siblings!" and "This isn't right!" he rubs himself on her crotch until her body betrays her enough to let him in.
What follows are only a few deep thrusts punctuated by Azulon's increasingly shrill cries of "Zuka!" or "Sis!"
She barely has time to get used to the pace, before he explodes inside and collapses on top of her, uncaring of anybody's pleasure but his own.

Finally regret and anger well up inside of Zuka. Once again she attempts to wiggle out of his embrace, but she can already feel his virility returning and Azulon pull her back under the sheets.


Can't have an Avatar thread without some porn.
>>
>>77269904
This also factors into Zuka's exile being under different conditions.
The last Agni Kai is a wonderful climax to the siblings relationship, and it's loss is pretty big.
Zuko's arc is also dedicated to his role as a pseudo-son of Iroh, who's trying to teach him what honor truly means, and choose what HE wants over his father.
Zuka would already be defying her father's expectations of she's exiled for ruining a political marriage.
>>
>>77270609
Thats why I think we can still keep the agni kai.

Also, scrap the marriage. I thought we had already decided on the previous threat that the conditions for her exile would have beeen the same.
>>
>>77270571
Uh...pretty sure that if Azulon tried to rape her, she would trhow a fire ball on him, at the last moment.
>>
>>77270690
It's not rape. It's surprise sex.

Also, Zuka seeing a willy would immediately cause her brain to overload. In any realistic scenario she'd jump out of a ten story building from sheer embarrassment.
Pretty sure Aang would have to blindfold her and give her like a 2 hour massage before she's relaxed enough for tender sex.

Zuka - Tara Strong

Azulon - Khary Payton

Ozumi - Maybe Patricia Drake, who voices Balalaika.

When most of us mention these themes revolving around Zuka's trouble embracing her feminine side because she sees it as a kind of curse, I don't think we're suggesting that the characters explicitly state such things in those kind of terms. The story in this case is about a proud young princess who feels like the weakest link, desires her father's praise, and is overshadowed by her younger brother and just seen as a disgrace or a nuisance. She fears being forced into a passive role much like her absent mother's once was in the family and is determined to not be that. She thinks finding and capturing will prove to her father that she's relevant, useful and will bring honor to her own name and her household by doing something generations before her failed to do. In order to succeed, she thinks she needs to repress those traits that would make her too weak and soft which we might normally categorize as the more expressly "feminine", But that doesn't mean that Zuka is consciously fighting against gender roles imposed on her by society nor does it even mean that Ozai and Azulon in their expectations of Zuka or their treatment of her necessarily reflect societal expectations or general male on female treatment.

Other than maybe a few bits of dialogue and one or two episodes here and there, I don't think "gender roles in society" should ever be a major theme. What I feel is that in the case of Zuka, you're exploring many of Zuko's same issues, but with just a stronger feminine element to it. But it's much more about yin/yang than masculine/feminine and Zuka learning who she is as an individual rather trying so hard to fill certain roles that goes against who she is at heart or wishes to be, not about rebelling against her society's expectations of women

Ember Island episode

Sokka and Katara actors change roles, along with Zuka and Azula.

>Katar maintain his tearbender thing, and people joke on his being a spineless faggot.

>Sokkara loves meat, everykind of meat, yeh, she is a whore.

>Zuka is still honor obssessed, but is portraied as more of a damsel that dont know what he is doing and is a danger for herself and others, and also changed side to become a "just good friend" with the avatar boy.

>Azulon is a literall pimp. Always walking with Mai and Ty lee on each arm.
>>
>>77276647

It's not "femininity" as much as being weak. There can definitely be an element of Zuka not wanting to be girlish like Ty Lee which could come up in The Beach. And we saw Azula at least struggle with something similar in that area. Here, just replace Ty Lee trying to help Azula at the party with Ty Lee trying to help Zuka, but with a little more resistance on Zuka's part.

I think people are getting confused by our the of the "femininity" in this discussion. It's more that Zuka doesn't want to be a bubbly airhead like Ty Lee or a passive and docile princess with no greater ambitions or achievements like her mother and maybe also she doesn't like the idea that the throne is probably going to go to Azulon and she'll just get married off and forced into irrelevancy. I'm just using the word "femininity" as a way of generalizing these things since they seem to be a uniquely female concern on Zuka's part or at least only a girl in Zuka's particular position would be stressing about these things.

I can't give a suggestion, but I really would not want Strong playing Zuka. BUT, I could see her playing younger Azulon.

>Azulon - Khary Payton

If you gave him something like the Drebin or Aqualad voice, it might work. But if that's the angle you're going for, Phil Lamarr (who also played Kuei) could probably do it better I think. He can pull off a really slithery character like Vulgrim in Darksiders and he can also do noble characters like Ramza Beoulve , so he's definitely a voice actor I think who could find that right balance of metrosexual teenage weirdo mixed with sadistic warrior prince with a penchant for mindfuckery who speaks in a very aristocratic tone of voice. He could also do Azulon's more pitiful side just as well.

>>
>>77277073

I think the fun of this AU comes more from trying to explore how events unfold when the main characters' genders are mostly switched yet are in the same environment and situations. So I support keeping the parental figures the same genders because then it's more fun to see how a girl in Zuko's position deals with having Ozai as a father or how Ozai responds to having a daughter like Zuka for a firstborn.

That said, I like the concept of FemZai itself. Now that I think about it though, it might be more suited for another kind of alternate universe where Zuko and Azula are the same but it's their parents' genders that are switched.
>>
>>77279664
I dont think that much things would change if you switched just the parents.

With Zuka, Ozumi would at least try to turn her into a copy of herself or something. Like when a mother pressure the daughter to be a cheerleader.
>>
>>77279904

I guess I feel like a line has to be set where "okay, no more genderbending after this," the parents generation or anyone who isn't a main or supporting character feels like a good line.

Switch Aang, Zuko, Azula, Katara, and Sokka. You can either switch Toph or Suki but it's better to not to switch both unless you plan on switching characters like Mai and Ty Lee as well. I don't feel like you can really switch Yue unless you do something radical like make it so the Ocean spirit gave her male version life and not the moon spirit or something like that.

If you switch Ozai and Ursa in this case, then I feel like you need to be consistent and start genderbending even more of the older characters for the sake of balance and that could potentially get out of hand. Cause first it's Ozai who gets changed, then next it's Azulon, then next Sozin. First it's Roku who gets changed, and then it's Kyoshi, Kuruk and Yanghchen. Then if the Fire Lord is genderbent , the question comes up "Hey, why not Kuei and Longfang too." What about Zhao, Paku, Hakota, Iroh, Jeong Jeong, Katara and Sokka's parents, Bumi, should Koh get a female voice etc. You see the problem that occurs when we just start genderbending whoever we feel like?
>>
>>77280320
You're going on a slippery slope. It's better to limit to just a single character, then see how they would layer once the individual switches are established.
I say one pair of siblings or both is fine (plus Suki if Water Tribe).
When you know a character enough, it's easier to place them in different situations and deduce how they would react. Keep the variables few, so A is always A.
>>
>>77279463

>Do you have a sgestion?

For Aangie? I'm not too sure, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest maybe Grey Delisle
>>
>>77280438

>It's better to limit to just a single character, then see how they would layer once the individual switches are established.

Which is more or less what I'm proposing.

I would suggest starting with an initial set of changed characters and leaving everything else in ATLA's world alone except where the narrative most demands it. For example, if we change Aang to a girl, we obviously need to change Gyatso because she'd be living with nuns and not monks. Neither Bumi nor Iroh need to be switched. With Mai, it's only necessary to change her if you want Zuka to end up with Mai's male counterpart. Same pretty much with Yue. In these characters' cases, it might simply be a matter of preference,yes. But in the case of Ozai, I feel like because of Ozai's central importance to the plot of the original series, he shouldn't just be changed on impulse. It's not necessary to change Ozai if the central idea of the AU is a switching of the most important child characters and seeing how they behave in the same contexts as their canonical versions unless there's an area where another change might be helpful, but you have to think how that impacts everything else and whether what else you'd have to change to make it work is worth it. You also have to ask yourself if changing this character defeats the original purpose of changing another character. The point of changing Azula for instance was to explore how a teenage boy in her position would be behave or develop in the same situation. We've seen how Azula behaved and developed with Ozai as her father, so it's easy enough to imagine how her boy self would carry himself similarly or differently with Ozai as his father. But in order to figure out how Azulon would behave if Ozai was his mother instead, we'd have to figure out how Azula would behave if Ozai was her mother first. Why burden ourselves with essentially crafting two separate AU's at the same time just to throw one away like that?

So in hope of giving this thread some extra stimulation, I'm just going to give my blueprint for this shit. Feel free to comment or suggest changes.

BOOK 1:

The story opens more or less the same, except with the genders of Katara and Sokka switched. In the first scene where Katarr is trying to waterbend, and getting on his older sister's nerves when he start spazzing out about his short lived success. Instead of making sexist comments, Sokkara makes fun of Katarr, which upsets him. This could set up a thing early in the series where Sokkara makes fun of her brother for just being a bending otaku. Sokkara really thinks her brother should learn to do something more useful or something he's just more suited for. All this talk of waterbending to her seems like a waste of time, especially with no teacher around. Because Sokkara can't really be sexist in this case like Sokka, the best alternative for her is just see her brother as a timid and unmanly kind of kid who needs someone to keep him safe and on the right track. She holds Katarr to some of the same expectations of her father and most of the other men of village, but instead of learning to hunt, he'd rather practice his mediocre bending skills. Sokkara resents the fact that her brother's fixation on practicing his bending but with little improvement has forced her to take on these duties herself. Being the only man of the village, Katarr should have his priorities straight. All this will play some role later on. Events unfold more or less the same in how they discover Aang/Aangie/Aang-gi. For this, I'm going to be changing Aang's gender, but I'll throw in some points where I think leaving him the same might give us a different more satisfying result.

Obviously Aangie would not have grown up in an Air Temple full of monks, but rather mostly nuns. This could potentially change the entire route the Gaang takes in Book 1. I think most episodes of Book 1 can be redone and some of those which can't be redone can be reworked for the second book. It's mostly a matter of mapping out the Gaang's quest. Should they head to the Southern Temple still? Or would they head to the Western or Eastern temple in Book 1? Would they still meet Suki/Sasuki in Book 2 or is that going to have to wait? Ideas are welcome.

They could still meet Jeong Jeong in Book 1 and I think there might be a way to do a twist on things, either by making Aangie less enthusiastic about Firebending or more so. I have my doubts that Katarr would get hurt here, but that might just be me not wanting Katarr to be established as a little bitch boy. Any suggestions are welcome here. I lean towards having Aangie be much sweeter but a bit more reckless than Aang. The idea that Aangie carries a bit of a mean streak or is twice as fascinated by powerful bending than Aang, might be a good twist on the character. Maybe instead of Katarr getting hurt Aangie gets tired of Sokkara's banter and threatens her, which makes Aangie swear off Firebending after. Maybe throughout the early parts of the Book, Sokkara's kind of a bitch to Aangie and just finally when it gets to the Deserter episode, Aangie is just tired of it, especially now that she's learning something that can hurt more than Airbending. Might be an interesting turn of events.

Anyway, let's move on to the North Pole where we know we're going to go. Here we face a dilemma. If Aang is not changed but Katara and Sokka are changed, the entire thing with the North's culture being sexist kind of goes out the window. Sure, maybe Katarr has a problem with it, but Katara's conflict with Paku was mainly about her, not women's lib. I feel like it'd be kind of weird to have Katarr give such a shit when it doesn't affect him or Aang. There's also the issue of Sokka and Katara's mom's necklace. Here I have an idea. Katarr misses his mother and instead of keeping the necklace around his neck, he wears it as a wristband. At some point in Book 1, he lets Aangie borrow it because she thinks it's pretty (foreshadowing) and because again, he's kind of a dork and if Aangie begs enough for something and bats her cute little loli eyes, he'll give it to her. If we change Aang, instead of Paku refusing to train Katarr, he could actually refuse to train Aangie even though she's the Avatar. This might allow for the same conflict to be explored from a different angle and allows the Avatar to be the focus. Aangie has no other master who can teach her what she needs to know, or at least what she thinks she needs to know and there's a definite conflict here between the Avatar's interests and the interests and society of a particular nation, so how Aangie resolves this issue could be a valuable learning experience and takes it beyond mere sexism. Katarr can also refuse to train under Paku while Aangie is excluded, in spite of Paku's interest in his talents, which introduces him to more healing since he'd rather stick by Aangie's side. Maybe there could be a thing where Katarr finds he actually likes the healing stuff

Can't decide for sure whether Yue should be genderbent. If you just want the whole "my first boyfriend turned into the moon" thing you could do it, but Yue's character was that she was a princess in an arranged marriage.

When we meet Zuka, she could have a hairstyle like this http://slodive.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/half-shaved-hairstyles/waitress-hairstyle.jpg

Iroh remains the same. I can't see any reason to think Iroh would treat Zuka too differently from Zuko at this point.

I think a lot of things would feel the same between them. I suppose he could be a little more protective of her, but even that might be pushing it. I think Iroh would respect Zuka's feelings and know well not to treat her like she's weak or needs help, but Zuka might be much more stubborn when it comes to accepting help than Zuko was. This could be shown in the very first episode where instead of asking Iroh to teach her the special techniques, she just continues to try to do things on her own while he offers to teach them to her. So I guess if there is to be a difference in their relationship, it could be that Zuka is much less willing to let Iroh or anyone else know she needs them and Iroh, knowing this, tries to help her in ways that don't insult her pride. If Iroh is playing a game of Pai Sho with Zuka and notices her game is off, he might try telling her what she's doing wrong at first, but when she refuses to listen, he moves the pieces around in her favor himself as soon as she turns away. But Iroh should always do such things after trying to get Zuka to willingly seek help. A future conflict between the two might or might not happen over this

Zhao can either be male and still look down on Zuka, only with an added element of being conscious of her being a princess. OR, Zhao could be female and be a bad ass fire nation bitch.

As for Zuka's banishment, if we're going down the route of Zuka not being heir to the throne because of first born son privilege, how she gets scarred and banished may have to be reworked a little, because the reason Zuko wanted to go to the war meeting was because he knew he'd one day be leading the Fire Nation.

that's all I got for now.

Overral, really good, I am also with you on the fact that it would be better if Aang stayed the same, but by going with your ideas....

What I would change? First, your view on the interactions between Katar and Sokkara is really spot on.

I think that they would visit the air temple of the south first anyway, it is the closest.I think that Katar being burnt is important, because that was the episode where Katara, and the audience, it also showed the repercutions of losing control over firebending, that was very important thematically. Having she threating someone with it seems to OOC for me... it is like kicking monk pacifism in the balls.

>>77300555

>I feel like it'd be kind of weird to have Katarr give such a shit when it doesn't affect him or Aang. There's also the issue of Sokka and Katara's mom's necklace.

I see it on other way.

Katara always seemed to be a fighter first, and a healer second, she never knew that she wasnt suppused to fight on the North Tribe. Make him still interessed on learning with Paku, and make Paku love the idea to teach him....THEM Katar casually ask where he could find someone to train him on how to heal, because it will probably be useful.

Paku them looks at him, and ask what is wrong with him. Basically:

>Are you a faggot? You are not suppused to train things like this, it is woman technique. Next time what you goona do? Wear a marriage necklace?

Them, Katar would get mad - remeber how Katara becomes eagered when people understmate her? Think on it like Katar getting tired of people calling him too "soft" and a pussy. Obviously, Paku wouldnt allow this kind of treatment, and would refuse to continue being his teacher. Them, you got a fight like canon, with Paku later realizing that it is his grandson.

I really dont know what to do with yue tho. I would love this scene to happen - >>77207080

A more stubborn Zuka seems like a good path.

>>
>>77308671
I think it;s a nice touch.
I think that more subtle changes would be more swallowable than complete overhauls.

I think Zuka works better with male Aang as endgame, while male Katara works with Female Aang as endgame.
Sokkani and Toph work regardless of gender, but male Suki helps in the former case a bit.
Male Azula works either way (though I prefer her staying unchanged)
Ozai is universally a dick, so whatevs.

>because that was the episode where Katara, and the audience, it also showed the repercutions of losing control over firebending, that was very important thematically.

My feeling that a change should be made her stems from my interpretation of Sokkara and Katarr's relationship vis a vis the canon water siblings.

With Sokkara, I think she could be a reluctant warrior who knows her strongest suit is her brain. Unlike Sokka, her male version, she is not interested in being a warrior nor does she brag about it and maybe has an attitude that, as a call back to Sokka, suggests she thinks that ideally should be a man's job. Same Sokka attitude, different goals for herself.

So, when I got to thinking about the Deserter, this relationship between Sokkara and Katarr made the idea of Katarr getting hurt by Aangie/Aang-gi seem like too much. With Katara, I think it worked because she was the female of the group. Here, Katarr gets nagged on by his older sister who thinks he needs to be tougher, then gets his shit fucked up by a 12 yr old girl. We should give him some dignity.

>Having she threating someone with it seems to OOC for me... it is like kicking monk pacifism in the balls.

Maybe "threaten" was the wrong word. In my head I was picturing something like "I said SHUT UP!" then IMPULSIVE FIREBENDING followed by "Ohmagosh-ohmagosh-ohmagosh, I'm so so sorry! Please don't hate me, guyz!" Not something like "shut up or I'll hurt you."


With Paku, I feel like that is one area that would actually be improved by Aang being a girl and Katara being a boy. Because instead of just being about Katara battling sexism with Aang kind of just being secondary, Paku has the balls to try to tell the Avatar that he won't train her. It also potentially gives us another Airbending vs Waterbending duel. I also do like the idea that Katarr is a flip of Katara in that he's a healer first and a fighter second while in the North it's take for granted that it's the other way around

I just figured we were going for hair=character development shtick. And Zuka having some half shaved skrillex hairstyle would work for the Book 1 look.

>but I think that would be better to keep him normal.

I would like him to stay the same, I just worry about it feeling too much about gender if Zhao's still a dude and harassing Zuka about her weakness and failure. With female Zhao it's more "you'll never as bad of a bitch as I am". With male Zhao you're getting something more "you're a dishonored princess who should have stopped trying to play with the big boys and just stayed back among the maids and weak bodied servant girls of the palace where you belong." But you don't see any bad ass Fire Nation girls in contrast to Zuka's being a screw up and weakling until Book 2.

>I think that was pretty much decided on the last thread that Zuka would be banned on the same way as canon.

The only thing I would change is how she gets into the war room in the first place. I would probably make it so she sneaks in and comes out of hiding when she hears the general's plan. That way even if Ozai might have taken it easier on Zuka for her speaking out of turn, he'd be more offended by her sneaking into an important war meeting like a spy, something Ozai wouldn't tolerate from anyone. I always got the feeling that the responsibility Zuko bore as crown prince was probably a lot to blame for why Ozai bothered with the Agni Kai, which I think was meant by Ozai as more of a test, a test which Zuko failed. Here I think it'd be more about putting Zuka in her proper place. Same events with just a subtle change which foreshadows later much more significant changes that are likely to happen or have been shown to have happened.

The concept was based some kind of nature vs. nurture debate.
Was Azula naturally screwed up and her parental issues just drove her over the edge?
And is Katara such a good person because she had positive rolemodels around her.

I think it resulted in a harder edged, very pragmatic, kinda scary yet ultimately righteous Azula (Aya or Ayla)
And a very damaged Katara (Azara), who had convinced herself that the Firenation was trying to help the rest of the world and winning people over with charm and holding sermons on the Fireman's burden rather than threats.
>>
>>77316830
Azula kinda ended up being tsundere for Aang, mischievous, but ultimately nice to Sokka and fast friends with Toph.

Katara tried to make Zuko drink her kool-aid and nearly succeeded in convincing herself that she was doing good for the world. She also captured Aang by PG-seducing him at one point, but ultimately had to get violent just as originally Azula. She finally flips her lid when she realizes that she's been facilitating genocide all along.

Azula was just 14 years old and everyone feared her. Why would someone treat Katar like shit for having a surprise fire attack direced to his face?

>Paku has the balls to try to tell the Avatar that he won't train her.

Man, this would be too stupid from Paku, as a member of the White Lotus, I dont believe that he would say that the avatar dont think that he would refuse to train the only hope to end the war.

>I just figured we were going for hair=character development shtick. And Zuka having some half shaved skrillex hairstyle would work for the Book 1 look.

I think that the better way is to make things closer to canon as possible, we never saw a fire bender with a hair even close to that one.

>But you don't see any bad ass Fire Nation girls in contrast to Zuka's being a screw up and weakling until Book 2.

Zuko wasnt never a weakling on the first season. Hell, he was one of the main villain of this season and almost on par with Aang when they fought.

Is Azula wanted, she would be on those meetings. I dont see why Zuka cant just ask her uncle like canon.

Yeah, I was kinda intrigued by the idea of a switching them out and thereby gaining both an anti-villain and an anti-hero in the process.

I especially liked that Azula wasn't so much the team mom, as the team drill instructor and had a perchance for going off the rails when Aang or Sokka were in danger.

There was a bit written out where Azara/Katara would kill Aang during the Avatar state at the end of S2 like in canon.
And Aya/Azula would go berserk with blood bending, breaking her arm before taking off with Aang's body and remembering the spirit water.

>Why would someone treat Katar like shit for having a surprise fire attack direced to his face?

Katara standing too close and getting burned by Aang and sobbing her eyes out

Audience reaction: "Aw, poor Katara. How could Aang be such a moron? Yeah, Sokka, you tell him."

Katarr standing too close and getting burned and sobbing his eyes out

Audience reaction: "What a little fucking bitch. Why were you standing so close in the first place you fucking retard? Fuck you Sokkara, Aang-gi dindu nuffin."

>Man, this would be too stupid from Paku, as a member of the White Lotus, I dont believe that he would say that the avatar dont think that he would refuse to train the only hope to end the war.

It's not that he'd be refusing to let the Avatar learn Waterbending, but more that he's directing the Avatar towards the Waterbending he thinks she should learn and which protects his culture. There's no reason to think that because Paku's a member of the White Lotus that he'd less committed to preserving his culture's institutionalized sexism. Obviously, being part of the White Lotus didn't make him more open minded in that regard in the canon. Also, Paku could easily justify his actions from a White Lotus perspective: The Avatar's duty is to preserve the cultural fabric of each individual nation as a separate entity and facilitate peace between them. If the culture of an individual nation ever does change, it is an internal affair and mustn't encroach on another nation. Roku didn't try to change the North's ways. And presumably neither did Kyoshi seek to change it. Again, it's less about sexism and more about Paku feeling the Avatar should respect each nation's cultural way of life. If she's a woman and she wants to learn Waterbending in the North, then she must do so as though she were herself just another Northern Water Tribe woman, not try to forcefully change it.

>Zuko wasnt never a weakling on the first season.

He was a weakling as far as men like Zhao were concerned. I just don't want it to feel like it's all about muh sexism. If Zhao is female, then you at least more easily send the message that the reason people don't respect Zuka isn't because she's a woman trying hard to be tough, but just that from their perspective she's a weakling and a brat. You can still do that with Zhao as a male. Again, I said it doesn't really matter one way or the other. But keep in mind that if you're not going to change Zhao or any other Fire Nation male and neither are you going to change Mai and Ty Lee in Book 2, Zuka's going to be only female Fire Nation fighter we're going to be seeing in Book 1 and you need to remember the Fire Nation isn't really sexist but just discriminates against those who are seen as weak and incompetent. I only suggested maybe changing Zhao just to more easily prevent the flak Zuka will get from others from being read as sexism.

>Is Azula wanted, she would be on those meetings. I dont see why Zuka cant just ask her uncle like canon.

Zuko only got into the meeting because he played the "If I'm going to be Fire Lord someday, blah blah blah," card when Iroh told him he wouldn't be missing anything. I'm presuming that here, Zuka isn't even being considered to become Fire Lord and is well aware of this. She might even be too self-conscious to ask such a question or afraid of what her father might say at her being there, especially if not even Azulon, Ozai's pride and joy, is attending. If there's a point in the story where the gendbending of Zuko is felt to have had a serious impact, I think the pretense for the Agni Kai might be the first place it probably could be felt. Azula wasn't at the meeting herself presumably because she knew her place. I can't think of any justification for Zuka's presence at the war meeting as she doesn't even have an argument convincing enough for Iroh in this case.

There's nothing wrong with making Zhao an actual sexist. It would also show Zhao's cowardice; when he's in the presence of Oza who's such a hardcore bitch he couldn't be his true sexist self.

And then when he's facing Zuka he could say something like "I want you to fail. Only men belong on the throne, and with your failure, Azulon will succeed your mother. Which means men will be back in their rightful place: above you."

Who says the Avatar needs to learn an offensive style of Waterbending?

>I really dont think that they wouldnt teach properly their only hope to bring an end to the war, that will certainly fight one of the best benders of the world.

It's not that they're not teaching her properly though, they're just not teaching her how to kill with it which you think a nun would be grateful for.

>Also, I dont think that this conflict contribute much to anything, and just make Paku looks like an idiot.

I actually think it makes Paku look a little wiser. Paku would also have a valid point in saying the Avatar has no right to demand the North change its cultural way of doing things and that to let her do so would potentially undermine a whole lot more. The aim of the Avatar is to keep peace and preserve things as they are in a state of harmony and balance. It can't just walk in and say "Okay, stop everything you've been doing cause it's not fair to me." It kind of defeats the purpose of the Avatar's job. The Northern water tribe's refusing to teach women offensive styles of Waterbending may not be right, but Paku's reasoning in defending his own refusal to train Aangie would be perfectly sensible, at least so long as Aangie's only retort is "B-But I want to learn to make giant tidal waves. I'm the Avatar, do what I say." Plus, you could have Katarr say something like "While I think it's stupid his not training you cause you're a girl, I don't think you have to learn what Paku has to teach to be a great Avatar. You should ask yourself what kind of Avatar you want to be and then decide, do you really need Paku's help to do that?" pointing out that Aangie may be a little close minded herself, which helps her to create a better argument.

> they're just not teaching her how to kill with it which you think a nun would be grateful for.


Wrong, offensive style isnt just to kill. Aang used a lot on his fight against Ozai, and didnt killed him, the same goes to every waterbend fight on the show.

If he didnt knew how to use it, he would probably have been killed.

Knowing how to heal wont save your life on the middle of a fight, because you wouldnt be able to have the time for it. It would be the same as not mastering at all, on a fight with Ozai.
>>
>>77327616
>Yeah, you are going by the idea that Zuka wouldnt be the Fire Lady because of the sucession, which I really find very speculative and against canon.

I don't see any reason to believe she would be considered for Fire Lord and it doesn't make much sense why she would. Even if we operate under the assumption that it's "first born" and not "first born son," I still don't see why Ozai would consider her as his heir since in this timeline, Ozai likely has even lesser of an opinion of Zuka than he does Zuko.

And on top of that, why would anyone here actually want that to begin with? If you want to watch a series about the first born of a royal family trying to reclaim their birthright and live up to their father, the king's, expectations of them, just fucking go watch the original series.
>>
>>77327831
>Who says the Avatar needs to learn an offensive style of Waterbending?
Given that Aang was virtually always using a defensive, evasive stile of bending and would play the opponent's momentum against him, there's absolutely no reason why Aang strictly needs an "offensive" style.

He only really went into full-on attack mode when enraged or in the Avatar State.

Well, on the last thread we mainly agreed that there wast many reasons to believe that the FN would oppose another Fire Lady.

> If you want to watch a series about the first born of a royal family trying to reclaim their birthright and live up to their father, the king's, expectations of them, just fucking go watch the original series.

Just because we changed the gender of the characters, it doesnt mean that we are obligated to change the core of their arcs just for the sake of change. Personally, I thik that is better to be closer to the original and just change what need to be changed, and has a good reason.

>Given that Aang was virtually always using a defensive, evasive stile of bending and would play the opponent's momentum against him, there's absolutely no reason why Aang strictly needs an "offensive" style.


You dont get it.

"Ofensive" means any form of attack, marcial movemnt. Aang ALWAYS uses it.

Women on the NT ONLY used healing.

Which means that Aang wouldnt be able for, for example, create a quick barrier of water, or water tentacles, because these are fighting moves.

Evasion and defense are ALSO fighting styles.
>>
>>77328403
Why are we discussing the NWT? Katara, who'd never visited the NWT, used offensive waterbending techniques before reaching the place.

And if you argue that "mastering" a bending form requires a person to know every facet, then that would predicate that Avatars are taught all styles regardless of sex. Otherwise, Kyoshi and Yangchen would not be fully realized Avatars, which they were.
>>
>>77328772
>And if you argue that "mastering" a bending form requires a person to know every facet,

Being a master of bending, imply knowing how to fight.

The entire concept of bending is based on speciphic martial arts.

The healers on NWT JUST healed, they didnt to any other form of bending.

>then that would predicate that Avatars are taught all styles regardless of sex.

Yes, obviously.

> then that would predicate that Avatars are taught all styles regardless of sex. Otherwise, Kyoshi and Yangchen would not be fully realized Avatars, which they were.

I dont get it. What are you implying with them? Nothing indicate that they didnt knew offensive water bending, or that they had exclusive trainament that only allowed one sex.

Kyoshi did invent a martial art for her warriors tho, but it wasnt a new form of bending.
>>
>>77328103

>The avatar need s to MASTER all the 4 elemetns, and Aangie wouldnt even be árt of the Water Tribe.

You're assuming that mastery of a bending style must equal being a total beast with it in a fight. Airbending is an almost totally non-offensive style of bending and Aang rarely ever used it for attack. There is no reason to think that to become a Waterbending master, the Avatar must learn how to fight with the style. And that could be the whole point of the conflict in this case. It was already suggested that Katarr should gravitate towards healing because he finds not only more to his liking but also finds it much more useful than anything Paku is teaching him. The point of the conflict here wouldn't be sexism, it'd be about the question of what is necessary for Aangie to learn and what sort of Avatar she wants to be. Maybe it's actually better for her to not focus on developing her waterbending as a more combat oriented style or maybe it is. Heck, Aang never even considered the possibility that he might have to kill the Fire Lord or that the Fire Lord wouldn't be able to eventually be convinced to stop what he's doing non-violently and he only learned what Paku taught him because Paku didn't have any objections to teaching him. Changing Katara's somewhat cringe worthy battle against patriarchy to something deeper involving Aangie's personal journey as the Avatar while also addressing gender roles with both Katarr and Aangie not quite fitting the North's preconceived notions sounds like it'd be a huge improvement on the original

Also, I'm not saying Aangie shouldn't learn offensive waterbending at all, I'm only saying that begging the question of whether she should or needs to at this point in the story wouldn't be a problem. Also, if Paku can still be wrong and have some wisdom in his decisions. Heck, in the canon, I always thought it was a little weird that he was a White Lotus member precisely because he came off as really close minded in Book 1
>>
>>77328894
I'm getting confused here. As far as I can understand, one person is saying that Aangie would not be able to master waterbending because Paku won't teach girls offensive waterbending, thus he would not be able to become a fully realized Avatar. It is implied by that person that it's a cultural thing that the NWT teaches girls to heal and men to fight. And you say here:
>Women on the NT ONLY used healing.
Since you believe that mastery includes knowing all forms of that bending type, it's not possible for Kyoshi or Yangchen to have mastered waterbending IF they were only taught healing due to the NWT's culture of making women be the healers. And we know that at least Kyoshi was a fully-realized Avatar given her ability to enter the Avatar State at will, thus you are contradicting yourself.
>>
>>77328920
>You're assuming that mastery of a bending style must equal being a total beast with it in a fight.

Being a master is the same thing as being a black belt. Literally, because all the moves comes from martial arts.

>Airbending is an almost totally non-offensive style of bending and Aang rarely ever used it for attack.

But ALL airbending moves are martial manouvers champs. Airbending is based on the Baguazhang style of martial arts, also known as "circle walking" or "Eight Trigram Palm", along with a small hint of Xingyiquan.

To be a master airbender and have his tatoos, Aang had to literally know 46 moves, and create another one. Not all martial arts focus on offensive.

>There is no reason to think that to become a Waterbending master, the Avatar must learn how to fight with the style.

Which waterbender master we knew that didnt knew how to fight? All of its moves comes from Tai Chi. For what we know, healers just sit and cure wounds. A fully realized avatar should be able to do both things.

>. The point of the conflict here wouldn't be sexism, it'd be about the question of what is necessary for Aangie to learn and what sort of Avatar she wants to be.

Considering how useful it was, I guess so.

>Since you believe that mastery includes knowing all forms of that bending type, it's not possible for Kyoshi or Yangchen to have mastered waterbending

What I am defending, is that the Avatar wouldnt have such limitations. Paku would not object teaching her, unlike with Katara.

If we used that other logic, all female avatars would have to learn from ST or not being able to do nothing with waterbending, besides healing.

What I am saying is that dont teaching the avatar more than half of the style dont make any sense.

We also agreed there is very little reason to think Ozai would give the throne to Zuka in this instance, regardless of whether the FN would approve of a Fire Lady in principle. We also agreed there was nothing to say that the first born son wouldn't have privilege over just the first born in this case

>Just because we changed the gender of the characters, it doesnt mean that we are obligated to change the core of their arcs just for the sake of change. Personally, I thik that is better to be closer to the original and just change what need to be changed, and has a good reason.

And I think this is an area that needs to changed somehow to avoid just retreading the story of the original series. There's no point to an alternate universe that is just a point by point remake of the original series with just tiny little changes and, in this case, more fappable versions of the same exact scenes for /co/. If you're going to make an alternate universe, make it alternate, just make sure the changes make sense in context and have a logical order. There will also be plenty of points where a change may not be necessary but will drastically improve the narrative or make it a more unique experience. If you're going to make an AU, you want to try to make it so people might actually debate whether the story is better than the original or at least have a reason to read/watch it over the original, even if it isn't as good, while still having consistency with the original so it feels like an alternate version of that same story. This requires balance of the subtle, non-consequential changes, and the bigger more consequential ones. I also don't think this change would damage the core. In this case, Zuka would still be craving honor and father's acceptance just like Zuko. The only difference in this case? She never had either of them to begin with.
>>
>>77329227
>A fully realized avatar should be able to do both things
Aang did not know how to heal and he became a fully realized Avatar.

We also have to take into account lava-bending and metalbending, and bloodbending. These forms did not really exist until Toph and Katara and Roku/Bolin invented them. However they are still a form of a bending archetype, so an airbender cannot bloodbend, a firebender cannot metalbend.

So because of this, what do you class as "mastery" of a bending form?

Not really, based on what we have on ATLA and Korra, and using other real life societies, there is no reson to believe that she wasnt going to be the Fire Lady, like Azula or Zukos daughter.

>There will also be plenty of points where a change may not be necessary but will drastically improve the narrative or make it a more unique experience.

But there is no point of doing it, for the sake of making interesting, if it dont make sense in universe, or just for the sake of changing things because it is an au. If the changes arent necessary with we already stabelished that is divergent, than you are doing something else. If you are going to change to much things, why even use these characters?

>Aang did not know how to heal and he became a fully realized Avatar.

Isaid that an avatar should BE ABLE to learn, instead only be allowed to do one. Korra for example, knew how to do the two. Having half of the water tribe population not allowing to teach most of their style to the avatar seems fairly unrealistic

>So because of this, what do you class as "mastery" of a bending form?

The same thing that indicates when someone is a master of a real life martial art, because all bending styles are based on martial arts.
>>
>>77329227

Kind of irrelevant. None of the Airbending techniques are very offensive.

>To be a master airbender and have his tatoos, Aang had to literally know 46 moves, and create another one. Not all martial arts focus on offensive.

Which is my point. Aang didn't learn from the monks how to suffocate people or how best to hurt people with Airbending. He learned the exact opposite. I doubt the monks taught Aang or their students ANYTHING that was offensive in character, which is probably why they got their shit cracked. Only Gyatso was shown to have done much damage to the FN, and we don't really know how that happened. The reason the Airbenders died was because they weren't an offensive kind of people, especially not in their bending.

>Which waterbender master we knew that didnt knew how to fight? All of its moves comes from Tai Chi. For what we know, healers just sit and cure wounds.

And that's something we can explore here. With Katarr choosing healing under the female teachers and finding it more comfortable for him than more offensive styles, you can use that as an opportunity to better explore Waterbending as an art in all its aspect, by maybe showing that the way Paku is suggesting to Aangie isn't necessarily a bad alternative if one perseveres at it. So that when Aangie decides to keep pressing Paku to teach her, it's because she finds that the Avatar she wants to be demands that she learn what Paku has to teach. Again, I think that's much better than what we got with Katara and Paku.

I'm saying Aangie SHOULD learn offensive waterbending, but do things in a way that suggests that mastering non-offensive forms is just as viable a path for a Waterbender and maybe make Paku be concerned about the idea of the Avatar undermining his culture which he thinks goes against the Avatar's purpose, so that Paku comes across less as just an ignorant sexist and so the Avatar is the focus

The monk philosophy says to avoid combat, but it dont change the fact that it is a martial art, with moves made to be used on fights.

> I doubt the monks taught Aang or their students ANYTHING that was offensive in character

Uh....xiaolin monks are pacifist, and had no problem with it. Remeber that air monks are based on them and tibetan monks. Also, judging by the amount of FN soldiers killed on the South Temple, I would say that yes, air nomads can put a fight.

>The reason the Airbenders died was because they weren't an offensive kind of people, especially not in their bending.

Nope, they died because of a surprise attack, on Comet Sozin, and after that, meticulous extermination tatics, like false safe places, where they could be gathered and killed.

Airbending IS a incredible art to use on offensive, that is why Aang spent three seasons beating the crap out of some character on almost all episodes.

Also, the thing about Katar, Aangie and Paku seems only unessessary drama, that needs Paku acting like a fool that cant conceive that learning how to make a water shield might be useful against the Fire Lord. Also, earlier you said that was afraid that the audience would think that Katar is weak, but now want to remove a great chunk of the interest that Katara had to become a master combatant, by making him focus on techniques that are almost never used on the show because they need time to be effective.
>>
>>77329753
>there is no reson to believe that she wasnt going to be the Fire Lady, like Azula or Zukos daughter.

Azula is a shitty example because she was never considered for Fire Lord before Sozin's Comet. It's not like she automatically was going to inherit the throne once Zuko was out of the running. So there's a case to be made there that if the first born OR the first born son has lost favor with the Fire Lord, the second born or otherwise can only obtain the throne through the express will of the Fire Lord, just as Ozai only became Fire Lord by such "express will"

Zuko's daughter is also not a good example because the question isn't who Zuko would make Fire Lord according to his will, but who Ozai would. All we know is that all the Fire Lords up until Izumi had been male and the most likely reason for that is because they were either the first borns or the first born sons of their families or both. We don't know a whole lot about how Fire Nation succession, but I don't see why we shouldn't assume it operates on a first born son privilege principle which is pretty common and I don't see why even if Zuka theoretically deserves the throne by right of the first born, why Ozai wouldn't just favor his first born son anyway in this case

>But there is no point of doing it, for the sake of making interesting, if it dont make sense in universe,

But it DOES make perfect sense in universe as it contradicts absolutely nothing we've seen or been told. I'm not saying the Fire Nation would oppose a female Fire Lord in principle and that's why Zuka is rejected, but I honestly doubt anyone would care in the slightest if Zuka was never considered as a choice to be Fire Lord. Azulon is Ozai's only son, is a prodigy and there's already been at least six, perhaps even more, male Fire Lords before him. Why wouldn't anyone expect Ozai to pick Azulon over dead weight like Zuka here? The only reason to keep her as heir is just to avoid any change for the sake of avoiding it.
>>
>>77329951

>I'm saying Aangie SHOULD learn offensive waterbending, but do things in a way that suggests that mastering non-offensive forms is just as viable a path for a Waterbender

The problem is that this dont make sense for the avatar that needs to end a war and dont have any other master. Also, how can you be a true master, if you are able to do only one of the multiple things that can be done with waterbending? Its like saying that you are a master of judo, but only know how to do imobilization moves, that are less than a third of all the techniques.

>about the idea of the Avatar undermining his culture which he thinks goes against the Avatar's purpose

Dont know if this is the avatar job, considering that later we are show that the North Water Tribe seems to be acceted women fighting, like with Eska, and Korra herself is descendent from there.

>so that Paku comes across less as just an ignorant sexist and so the Avatar is the focus

But he would still critic of Katar for choosing healing, according to you.

That doesn't mean jack It's already established that these bending forms which are based on martial arts style have plenty of uses for things that have nothing to do with combat at all, such as using Tai Chi moves to magically HEAL, not defend or attack. The use of martial arts styles in this series has always been more for their aesthetic quality or a perceived spiritual aura than anything else.

>but it dont change the fact that it is a martial art, with moves made to be used on fights.

Airbenders are taught to avoid any and all combat and their entire style of bending is based on evasion as far as combat is concerned, regardless of the martial art the staff on the show based their bending on. Any pain that is caused in pushing someone back is purely unintentional.The only other use they have for Airbending is either having fun or some kind of spiritual thing. Airbenders don't fight. They run away

>Uh....xiaolin monks are pacifist, and had no problem with it.

These aren't xiaolin monks. They're idealized mary sue portraits of tibetan monks which stem from Mike and Bryan's Buddhist fetish, which is why they're vegetarians because Mike and Bryan are vegetarians.

Aang very rarely ever used Airbending in such a way that it would intentionally hurt anyone beyond a couple tiny boo boos. The only exceptions were when he went Avatar State or when enemies shot powerful attacks at him and his only option for survival was to deflect their attacks back at them, in which case they're being hurt was mostly the result of their inability to defend themselves against their own attacks.

and before you think of using Zaheer as a counter example, just remember he's supposed to be the "le ebin dark airbender" and Korra itself shat on the lore of the original series.

>the thing about Katar, Aangie and Paku seems only unessessary drama,

How is Aangie dealing with the question of what she needs to be a great Avatar and also learning how to balance the Avatar's interests when they conflict with what another nation desires for itself unnecessary drama? That's much better than simple grrrrl power.

>that needs Paku acting like a fool that cant conceive that learning how to make a water shield might be useful against the Fire Lord.

It has nothing to do with that. I'm not saying Paku shouldn't consider that maybe he should train the Avatar in the way she wants or that he wouldn't consider it useful for her to learn what he has to teach, I'm only saying that he should value his culture and think that the Avatar, as the Avatar, should learn to respect that. He's not opposing the Avatar making up for a lack of Waterbending combat skills by focusing on combat in the other bending talents. He's not saying the Avatar shouldn't learn how to fight. And he's not opposing someone else teaching the Avatar offensive waterbending outside the North. He just thinks that if the Avatar is going to learn Waterbending while in the North Pole, she should learn it in such a way that doesn't undermine his culture and that it is her Avatar duty to not do so. And considering that the North at this point is not under immediate threat from the Fire Nation yet and for the most part has held its own while following this way of life, there's not external pressure for him personally to change his own ways.

There are plenty of valid objections to this, which is the whole point that Paku is wrong. But as far as the Avatar learning to respect others' cultures even if she doesn't like them and not forcing change on them, those are valuable lessons to the Avatar.

>Also, earlier you said that was afraid that the audience would think that Katar is weak, but now want to remove a great chunk of the interest that Katara had to become a master combatant, by making him focus on techniques that are almost never used on the show because they need time to be effective.

I only suggested not humiliating him too much. Also, I never said Katarr would never combative skills. I think you're misunderstanding the exact course of events that I'm suggesting. This is what I have in mind.

>Paku won't train Aangie because he doesn't want to set a new precedent which will go against the cultural values he believes in
>Katarr doesn't want to learn under Paku if Aangie can't join
>Katarr joins Aangie in learning to heal

>Both Katarr and Aangie learn to appreciate this aspect of Waterbending, which can be very powerful and useful in its own way
>Katarr thinks healing might even be his strong suit and becomes an example of how the art of healing doesn't have to just be a women's forte
>Aangie on the other hand while learning to appreciate this aspect of Waterbending still feels like she needs Paku to train her
>Katarr tells her that she should learn whatever type of bending she thinks is best for what sort Avatar she wants to be. If she thinks following the path of a Healer in Waterbending is better for that, so be it. If she thinks there's another path she needs to follow, she go that route, but should probably make sure she does so in a way becoming of the Avatar.
>Paku, realizing that maybe the Avatar's argument is more sound than his own and that under the circumstances, maybe change is necessary, at least gives Aangie a chance to prove she is worthy of being his apprentice.

I think that'd be a good story
>>
>>77331092

>The problem is that this dont make sense for the avatar that needs to end a war and dont have any other master.

That's like saying Aang had to learn to suffocate people with Airbending. The question that would be asked here is precisely the question: "Does the Avatar NEED to learn this particular kind of Waterbending?" The answer to this would be that ideally in a time of peace, the Avatar would never have to learn how to fight at all and could just focus on those more serene and spiritual aspects of the bending arts like waterbending healing if they wanted to, but Aangie feels that for her to be the Avatar she wants to be or rather we should say the Avatar that the world needs right now, she can't just be a healer.

And maybe this is a reasonable enough argument for Paku to at least give Aangie an opportunity to prove herself because I don't think Paku is too stupid to realize that he might be wrong, but I think that his refusal to teach Aangie would be due to his belief that the preservation of his culture is just as important as fighting the Fire Nation, given that the whole reason for fighting the Fire Nation is to protect his nation's way of life in the first place. The Avatar just coming in and changing things willy nilly defeats the whole purpose.

Paku eventually realizes he was wrong, but I don't picture Aangie going the route of Katara with "You can't knock me down," I think at first she'd throw a tantrum, huff and puff, realize that there are alternatives to Paku, but come to the conclusion that the world needs a certain kind of Avatar at the moment and this at least convinces Paku to maybe agree to a match or something.


>But he would still critic of Katar for choosing healing, according to you.

I never said that at all. I don't think Paku would say anything to Katarr about his learning how to heal in this scenario mostly because Katarr isn't even his pupil until he accepts Aangie.

>The use of martial arts styles in this series has always been more for their aesthetic quality or a perceived spiritual aura than anything else.

Man, any bender is basically equivalent as a real martial artist, they know the moves, they can even ue them without bending.

>Airbenders are taught to avoid any and all combat

And xiaolin monks too.

If you learned why xiaolin monk train martial arts, you would see why there isnt any conflict on being a pacifist and a trained combatant.

>Airbenders don't fight.

Literally, every airbender on Korra fought, and the only airbender with screentime on ATLA fought all the time, not because he wanted, but because he needed. Airbending moves taught by the monks ARE part of a martial art, and thats why they can fight. Its so simple.

>These aren't xiaolin monks. They're idealized mary sue portraits of tibetan monks which stem from Mike and Bryan's Buddhist

There are heavy elements of xiaolin monks on the air nation, along with tibethans. Also, xiaolin monks are also budhist.

>Aang very rarely ever used Airbending in such a way that it would intentionally hurt anyone beyond a couple tiny boo boos.

Still ofensive, but Aang attacks usually werent more mortal than Tophs attack too. No one o the gaang usually attacked to kill.

>The only exceptions were when he went Avatar State or when enemies shot powerful attacks at him

Not true, he fought with almost every villain of the week.

>How is Aangie dealing with the question of what she needs to be a great Avatar and also learning how to balance the Avatar's interests when they conflict with what another nation desires for itself unnecessary drama?

>, she should learn it in such a way that doesn't undermine his culture and that it is her Avatar duty to not do so.

He is basically saying "Sorry Aangie, we will not teach you self defense, and more than half of the waterbender style that could be used to help you survive your duties with bringing balance to the world, because you are a woman, and it would make my culture middly annoyed."

Also, its canon that Paku is smug as hell, and very prideful.

>lol, who you thought that Ozai would choose? Zuko cant be back until he brings the avatar, do you think that the FN would put on throne someone oficially without honour?

Azula never threw it in Zuko's face that the throne was now by default hers.

She also didn't seem to even to think she'd ever get it.

While Azula is the most natural choice, it was never really made clear whether she was going to be Fire Lord automatically with Zuko out of the picture. The way things played out, it seemed like she had to wait for Ozai to express his wish she become Fire Lord, which surprises even her when he actually does.

>Because there are alternatives on the show and on History.

Alternatives in history, yes, but also precedents in history as well.

And where do we see this on the show? Again, Azula almost becoming Fire Lord doesn't prove the first born son wouldn't be privileged over the first born if the first born isn't a son because Azula is the second born daughter who had to wait for Zuko to be disowned. And the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe succession rules were never explored.

>But this is the entire reason why Zuko was banned o the first place, and giving an "impossible" task.

Zuko was considered heir to the throne even though ever since he was a small child it was acknowledged that Azula was his superior. Why didn't Ozai just say "fuck you Zuko, Azula's going to be fire lord after me," instead of going through the trouble of keeping him as heir only to banish him? That only makes sense if Fire Lords generally favored their sons to be their heirs unless those sons did something especially offensive. Zuka doesn't have any penis points nor does , so why would Ozai let her get her hopes up?

>That's like saying Aang had to learn to suffocate people with Airbending.

Uh? Obviously not, this is a fallacy. He need to learn how to deflect attacks, run quicly and throw wind at him.

>The question that would be asked here is precisely the question: "Does the Avatar NEED to learn this particular kind of Waterbending?"

The answer is: Obviously.

> ideally in a time of peace, the Avatar would never have to learn how to fight

Chaaaaamps, the entire point of bending, is dominating elements with martial art moves. You dont need to use it to fight, but it is a fight technique learned from dragons and shit since its conception. Hell, one of the first things that Wan does as the avatar, and one of the more commons things showed along multiple avatars, is to intimidate opposing parties with power before they start to fight.

You are the one implying that being a martial art makes it violent or desnecessary on times of peace, when this is far away from how eastern societies usually see martial arts.

>to his belief that the preservation of his culture is just as important as fighting the Fire Nation,

Segregrating teachings by sex, is the same as fighting genocidal empires coming after you? As I said, the worse, would be making him middly annoyed.

>I never said that at all. I don't think Paku would say anything to Katarr about his learning how to heal

>Azula never threw it in Zuko's face that the throne was now by default hers.

Why would she? She only did things like that when they were childs, or when Zuko went to the other side.

All her initial interactions were "hey Zuko, I will throw you and uncle into jail!" which caused them to run away from her.

Them she decided to use them as a mean to kill the avatar and end the war, which would ends up causing Zuko to have the opportunity to go back home. Buuuut by attributing the death of the avatar to him, she managed to create a that if the avatar wasnt dead, he would be blamed.

>She also didn't seem to even to think she'd ever get it.

With the only other heir exiled, who would be?

>it was never really made clear whether she was going to be Fire Lord automatically with Zuko out of the picture.

She was made FL automatically when Zuko was out of picture.

>The way things played out, it seemed like she had to wait for Ozai to express his wish she become Fire Lord, which surprises even her when he .

Fire Lords are only chosen when the previous die, she was surprised for getting the title out of nowhere.

>And where do we see this on the show?

Azula and Zukos daughter.

>Zuko was considered heir to the throne even though ever since he was a small child it was acknowledged that Azula was his superior. Why didn't Ozai just say "fuck you Zuko, Azula's going to be fire lord after me," instead of going through the trouble of keeping him as heir only to banish him?

Because he need an execuse to remove Zuko from the picture, and that agni kai was that. This is basic royal dinamic, Zuko would still have a stronger claim for being the older siblimg, and if he still had some power, he could try to overthrow his siter. Banishment, with the only option to go back being a impossible task, removes him from the picture.

No, this only shows that they favored older simblings

The dilemma is whether or not Zuka was guaranteed the throne before banishment. I say that making it "first born son" on down contradicts nothing and makes Zuka's character arc better.

>The dilemma is whether or not Zuka was guaranteed the throne before banishment.
Presumably Ozai would keep a close eye on his kids as they grow up, to see how well they are filling into his role as glorious leader. It would be logical to go 'my son is next in line' if the younger son has promise, or to go 'my daughter is more than capable' as is most beneficial to him.

I can also see how a hypothetical 'first spawn of my wife' law/tradition might give more credence to Zuka kicking ass for the throne, but it's not a huge deal either way.

This is ironic coming from someone who seems to think we should pay any attention to the bullshit that came out of TLOK

Superman: Red Son is about as radically different from the main Superman universe as you can get. And yet it's not only liked by critics but also by many fans as a good alternate take on the Superman story. So you can fuck off with that "we need to stick to canon as close as possible" noise

All that matters is if things are enough in the spirit of the original and there is a logical order to the changes made.

Here, we're dealing with something that has never been explicitly said one way or the other in the canon, so why not take the direction that will give a better or at least a more unique story that isn't just a retreading of the canon? I don't see why you're so opposed to this other than I just don't think you're really committed to this AU at all.

>Champs

>>
>>77337928

The problem is that it wasn't explicitly mentioned whether it was FIRST BORN or FIRST BORN SON.

But I think it's logical to presume that it was more first born son.

Either way, if it wasn't explicitly stated, we're not beholden to uphold it one way or the other. I just say that Zuka being first born but never have the right to throne is better than just giving her the exact conflict as Zuko. It's not like it damages the core of the character.

>>
>>77338186

Also, the fun of an AU is seeing what is different. People don't read or watch AU's to see how things are similar, they check them out to see what radically changes a small change can create.

Nobody's gonna hold us accountable for deciding to just act as though it was always first born son even though this wasn't stated and it contradicts nothing in the series, unlike Mike and Bryan's complete rewriting of the nature of the Avatar and the origin of bending, which does contradict previously established canon.

Exactly, the fact that you insist on arguing that your au that keeps changing things from canon that are not related to the gender of the characters for example, is unnecesssary.

Its canon, liking it or not. If you are the type that ignores canon and build your own headcanon world, its another story.

>Superman: Red Son is about as radically different from the main Superman universe as you can get.

But still keeping the premise and personalitty of the heroes to the original. A comparacion with what you do would be "what if instead of russia being a communist state, it was Japan? Them we have dictator Superman on Japan! And change Lex character too, it would be more interesting if he had a pact with Atlantis to fight Supermn on the Pacific!"

>So you can fuck off with that "we need to stick to canon as close as possible" noise

The premise of this thing is to just to change the sex of the mcs, not chnage other things, so the plot that you thought could fit.

And you HAVE good ideas, but need someone to keep it in check, and dont go off the rails.

>Here, we're dealing with something that has never been explicitly said one way or the other in the canon, so why not take the direction that will give a better or at least a more unique story

Because it weakens Zukos character, make it all be about her gender - again - and also isnt even as interesting as his original arc.

I haven't done that at all, except where I think the characters genders being changed might change things for characters whose genders aren't switched or would likely change certain plot points.

>Its canon, liking it or not. If you are the type that ignores canon and build your own headcanon world, its another story.

I don't think we should pay any attention to Korra nor should we concern ourselves with whether we contradict anything in Korra. As far as I'm concerned, neither Korra nor Juan exist in this timeline. We should operate like this is right after the original series ended. But being bound by Korra would be crippling and I would sooner take rufftoon's Water Tribe comic as canon over that hunk of shit. But putting my dislike for it aside , it's just too much work to take into account the comics and while I like the comics better than Korra, I don't think we should concern ourselves with them either. There's no reason to go into the Avatar origins, or how exactly Ursa was banished or any of that, I think.

So you see I'm not opposed to respecting the canon. I'm just opposed to your desire to keep things so close to the canon that even in areas where if we could just assume something was the case where we don't have confirmation but which wouldn't contradict any of the established canon either way, like the first born argument, we must take the safest route that is most identical to Zuko's character arc. All that matters is if Zuka has the same core personality traits and is dealing with some of the same problems and where she differs from Zuko feels like it wouldn't be so except with the change in gender.

The most I suggested were assuming certain things where they weren't stated one way or another for our own purposes but don't contradict anything or things which were in the spirit of the original but might require the pretense of characters genders being switched to make them happen where they didn't happen before. Earlier you were praising my take on Sokkara and Katarr's relationship. Now I'm suddenly going against the entire premise and personality of the characters? Why? Because I think it's fine for us to make it first born son instead of just first born, which would pretty normal for any dynasty and was more implicitly the case in the canon anyway? Because I think exploring Waterbending more deeply as a healing art might be interesting or because I think something that is a recurring theme in the Avatar series can be dealt with in the same part of the story that was originally just another girl power episode in the canon but which doesn't contradict anything in the canon as it is? That's wrong, but you want us to take into account shit like Avatar Wan, the biggest rape of the series' own canon there is?

>The premise of this thing is to just to change the sex of the mcs, not chnage other things, so the plot that you thought could fit.

I think your problem is you think changing the sexes would be an inconsequential thing. When in reality, a lot of peoples lives might have been radically different were they to be born a boy/girl instead.Men and women behave differently. They're treated differently. Even when society pretends it doesn't treat them differently. Always. Now and forever. Accept it
>>
>>77338774

>Because it weakens Zukos character, make it all be about her gender - again - and also isnt even as interesting as his original arc.

The whole focus is on what changes when we switch these characters genders and set them loose in a world that is still more or less the same. Gender's gonna play an important role here. But not only that, this is really weird to direct at me of all people, when I've been the one probably most concerned with ensuring that the gender roles stuff and sexism in this shit remains low-key and non-tumblr-tier wherever possible. It's the main reason I suggested reworking the Paku plot in the way I did. And the reason I suggested the possibility of changing Zhao's gender, because I was fearful of Zuka's negative treatment accidentally suggesting the Fire Nation was super sexist. So my suggesting that Zuka not get the throne because of first born son crap isn't meant to make her whole character arc about gender, just to make sure that the gender change has some kind of qualitative impact on things from the get go rather than no impact. And because it really makes far less actual sense for Zuka to be the heir in this context where she doesn't even have as much of a connection with Ozai than if she had a dick.

And we can't use Izumi as a precedent even if we take Korra seriously because as far as we know she is Zuko's ONLY CHILD. This doesn't tell us anything about whether Fire Nation custom favors the first born son over the first born child in a situation with eldest daughter, youngest son, and it doesn't tell us how Ozai or Azulon would have treated their first born sons differently if their first born children had been daughters instead because they're radically different leaders than Zuko.

I've probably contributed more to this shit than anyone else, even taking time I could be using for studying just to talk about it. And when I say contribution, I'm not just talking about this fapshit and Zuka/Aang shipping nonsense. Most of the ideas for this thing's actual story have probably been mine. Azulon and Zuka may as well be my own intellectual property with how much work I've put into them so far. Female Ozai, male Suki, Mai and Ty Lee's relationship with Azulon, Ozai and Ursa's relationship with their gender-switched kids, Sokkara and Katarr, you can thank me for suggesting or building on a lot of these things almost entirely alone because whenever the discussion gets too fucking serious and nobody's just talking about their waifu or who they impregnate, /co/mrades always bounce or shut up. I even took the time to type out multiple 2,000 character posts on my fucking phone everyday day for this shit when I was banned for an entire week off the site, because I actually thought the story had some fucking potential if taken seriously instead of just more fap bait and waifu of the month shit and I didn't want the threads to die.

>Earlier you were praising my take on Sokkara and Katarr's relationship. Now I'm suddenly going against the entire premise and personality of the characters? Why?

Well, for one, making Katar like healing more than the martial aspect, instead of what Katara choosed to focus on canon, just for the sake of making things different. One of the cooler aspects of Katar was that on battle, or when pushed far away, she would fight with rage like no one of the group, despite being usually one of the most compacionate members of the team. Your take on Katar seems to be going on the opposite aspect, making him rather be a healer than a martial artists for the sake of being different, when these things arent mutually exclusive. Thos said, I still believe that you wrotte a cool ideas regarding the relationship between the simblings, like most of this thread, we have divergent opinions regarding details on the characterizations.

> and was more implicitly the case in the canon anyway?

There is much more indication to the contrary fella.
>>
>Because I think exploring Waterbending more deeply as a healing art might be interesting or because I think something that is a recurring theme in the Avatar series can be dealt with in the same part of the story that was originally just another girl power episode in the canon but which doesn't contradict anything in the canon as it is?

You are changing the fact that Paku IS really a smug sexist tho, changing it to "well, we are sexist on our society, I hope you respect it, and that we might not train you to survive your battle for the destiny of the world". Paku only stapped back, when he saw how capable Katara really wasm and when he discovered that she was his...well, the grandchild of an old love, making him realize that maybe he should change his views. Thats why I think that making Katar enter in direct conflict with Paku is a good idea, he needs confrontation to show how capable he is, even by not following the rules impused by the NWT, and that he could still be a warrior too, even if his tribe never believed that he could live up to it.

>That's wrong, but you want us to take into account shit like Avatar Wan, the biggest rape of the series' own canon there is?

Man, its shit, but its canon. I wont just ignore it just because I dont like. It doesnt make any sense.

>I think your problem is you think changing the sexes would be an inconsequential thing.

Nah, our only divergency is really the thing with the Katar/Paku conflict, the idea that Aangie could be a waterbender master that only knew how to heal and any other moves, and the first bron heir thing. Most of these things arent directly atached to gender, but directions where to take the plot.
>>
>Gender's gonna play an important role here. But not only that, this is really weird to direct at me of all people, when I've been the one probably most concerned with ensuring that the gender roles stuff and sexism in this shit remains low-key and non-tumblr-tier wherever possible.

The thing that I see, is that that Zukas arc, as the rightful heir of the throne having to fight the injustices of her family to get what actually is her, carries way more wheight than Zuka being only a rebellious princess who was never considered for the throne because she is not a man like her brother.

>I've probably contributed more to this shit than anyone else, even taking time I could be using for studying just to talk about it.

Well, me too actually.

> Azulon and Zuka may as well be my own intellectual property with how much work I've put into them so far. Female Ozai, male Suki, Mai and Ty Lee's relationship with Azulon, Ozai and Ursa's relationship with their gender-switched kids,

Not true at all, I have been on the last threads that discussed it, and even the ones on the other site, a good chunck of the characterization wasnt even born on 4chan. Hell, it was me that dealed a good chunck of Sokkara and Katar relationship and personalitty in the beggining of the last thread, and there was the imput of a lot of other people.
>>
>So you really need to fuck step off mah nigga, cause there's a good chance if it weren't the fact that I bothered with the last thread because it interested me, we wouldn't be fucking having this one

Considering that I did the last thread, the screemcaps with the characterizations, and a good portion of the ideas - because you and me seems to be the manily ones behind this - and fanart, I dont think so. Even more, considering that I was planing to do a follow up.

Another anon actually suggested that idea, and I thought it was a good take on the character and worked well with the idea of the gender being flipped. When you flip the genders, a lot of characterizations ARE going to be different because certain characterizations just don't work out as well. You've already accepted Sokkara having an almost completely different characterization and character arc from Sokka and you're complaining about an even less consequential change in Katara/Katarr's characterization. So no, fuck you. You don't know what you're fucking talking about.

>our only divergency is really the thing with the Katar/Paku conflict, the idea that Aangie could be a waterbender master that only knew how to heal and any other moves and the first bron heir thing

Your objections to these things have been really fucking stupid for the most part and either demonstrate your own lack of creativity, your own lack of understanding of the nature of the setting, or your own unwillingness to accept that the only way this alternate universe can actually work is to rework certain plotlines and characters. And you may want to complain about that, but unless you want an AU that lacks any sense or that is totally bland and artificially restricted, certain plot elements and character backstories have to be reworked and maybe even some things have to be expanded that weren't expanded in the original series. The first born shit is just you being pedantic.

I think you're completely misunderstanding or even purposely misrepresenting my concept here. The point isn't "Sorry, Avatar, we're not going to teach you what you need to know because I'm sexist," it's supposed to be "We've fought tooth and nail to defend our way of life from aggressors who would come in and totally change and now the Avatar, who's supposed to help preserve the integrity of each nation is coming in and trying to violate that integrity after we've fought so hard to protect it." And then of course you explore Waterbending as a non-violent healing art more extensively so that way the lesson is "Hey, you could focus mostly on healing and be a great Waterbender, but the Avatar the world needs at this moment can't just focus on the strictly peaceful elements of bending and Paku is being too proud and stubborn to admit that because of commitment to his own culture." Paku would still be proud and he would still be sexist because he's holding Aangie to sexist Northern Water Tribe standards and maybe even looks down on Aangie as a female Avatar. And maybe might be a little strange, him being a White Lotus and all, but it was strange for him to be White Lotus I think to begin with given his smug, sexist attitude. Here, I would only suggest toning down the smugness because the antagonism is between him and the fucking avatar, not between him and some southern water tribe brat. He should at least have some fucking awareness of that fact and it should at least make him just a bit more open to reproach.

I disagree. And I think you're purposely trivializing in order to make your suggestion seem like the better option. Zuko was a prince who was always looked down on but still at least had some honor in that he was one day going to be Fire Lord and still had some of his father's love from what he could remember. When he lost that, he was willing to go through great lengths to get it back, but when he got it back, he realized he still wasn't happy. Here, you have a firstborn daughter who is never considered for the throne, is almost completely ignored by her father who feels content with the fact that he has an accomplished son to carry on his legacy, like many a monarch and father probably do. As a result, she is very desperate, maybe not for the throne, but just to make herself useful or important to her father in some capacity. Here, my only suggestion has been to make Zuka have practically nothing at all so that when she's banished, she has even less than nothing.

My suggestion was never intended to make her whole thing about gender or make her a rebellious princess type, I only think Zuka's backstory would be slightly different because that's just common sense. And desu, I don't see the core of Zuko's character arc as about his being heir to the throne to begin with anyway, so no I don't think it does any harm to remove that element. Here, Zuka is practically the same in personality and motivation without that, with the only change in personality being in the level of desperation she is prone to feel or in just how protective she is of what very little she has been able to acquire throughout her pathetic life.

>Hell, it was me that dealed a good chunck of Sokkara and Katar relationship and personalitty in the beggining of the last thread, and there was the imput of a lot of other people.

I'm not trying to deny the input of others, and I'm very grateful for the criticisms and contributions others have given. But it feels like it has consistently been me and maybe two other anons. From what I can tell though, I don't think I would vote for any of your ideas, especially given you have such a erroneous understanding of this universe. A good example is your understanding of the "martial arts" in this setting, which are mostly taken from the watered down versions of real martial arts in order to simply add a certain aesthetic quality to the bending powers, yet you would have us believe that these characters are actually doing real Tai Chi, Baghua and the like. That's one of the reasons why Korra's bending styles in a lot of parts looked so shitty, because they were going for an MMA style, which is more about function than style. The fact that Waterbenders use Tai Chi for healing should have tipped you off, because real Tai Chi is about the beating the living fuck out of people. The Tai Chi in this shit is more like they stuff they teach in senior aerobics classes. And I'm not saying that's bad, it works for what sort of feel they were going for, but you need to understand that in many cases, these aren't real martial arts. Protip: if your Kung Fu looks good, it's not real kung fu.

I was having fun until you started being a complete faggot. And I don't think I'm entitled to shit. I just resent someone who's trying to trying to insult my intelligence and acting as though he has some kind of authority on the direction of this project when I don't even think he's putting even half as much work or thought into the project as myself. And I also don't appreciate his talking down to me in general.

If that's your attitude, bro, the only thing I can say to that is that the way these last two threads have been going, if I can be real about it, so I don't think you have any business trying to "reign me in" like I'm one of the hired writers on YOUR project, especially when I don't think you've contributed nearly as much as myself in terms of the writing department and I have my doubts anything you've proposed has been of much higher quality. And that's not me trying to downplay anyone else's contributions, but the fact that this thread has only 59 posters and over 450 replies shows that there aren't many other people paying attention to this shit. So you should show a little respect for those few of us that care, but if you want, I'll just bounce and let you do it all on your own because because you seem to think it belongs to you in some capacity because of all your great contributions.

>Since when admiting that Korra is canon makes someone a korrafag?

The problem is you're expecting us to somehow be beholden to Korra's canon, but Korra's story has no impact on ATLA as it is anyway, except in the most retroactive ways. Same with the comics, which are arguably better in quality to Korra. For that reason, I don't think we need pay any serious attention to them. For one thing, a lot of things might radically change in this universe when we get closer to Korra's time period due to the gender swap and even if we did go forward, we'd probably have to do the comics first anyway. And another thing, in the case of something like Avatar Wan, this has no impact on ATLA at all. What you appear to be suggesting is that Korra should dictate how we rewrite ATLA when nothing in Korra has any relevance to ATLA, not even the Avatar origin story, which, while not really terrible in my opinion, in a lot of ways shits on the lore that was established in the original series including the nature and origins of bending and just the overall cosmic philosophy of the original show. If Avatar Wan's existence didn't have any impact on the events of ATLA, I don't think it should have any impact on our version of ATLA.


I'm not saying let's throw out Korra and actively contradict it, all I'm saying is we should not pay any more attention to it or reference it any more than the original series did so long as we don't explicitly contradict it anymore than the original series and Korra already contradict one another. This way, people who like Korra and don't like Korra can both participate and the tone of the original series is left untouched.

The only relevant thing from Korra is Izumi because of the whole first born debate, and even that is less relevant than I think you make it out to be.

Thank you, and that is some consolation, although I was never really much for Aang and Zuka shipping, mostly because I kind of want Aang to be a girl.

>There's no need to become a figurehead, or use a trip. This is a collective idea.

I agree and I apologize again if it felt I didn't think so.

I just didn't like the tone of that other anon, assuming you're not him. I've reworked a lot of my original suggestions due to others' criticisms, I've tried to take into consideration others ideas as well as my own, and I've payed a great deal of attention to trying to keep too many gender roles politics out of story that was originally not much about those things, trying to keep too much original content that isn't in spirit with the original series or which explicitly contradicts it or Korra out, and trying to keep the original core character arcs intact as much as I think is possible with the changes while still treating them with some of the respect due to what are also, in a sense, original characters created by /co/. And someone wants to get on my case about arbitrarily cutting out or changing shit to my own liking? That just pissed me off, especially when almost nobody else has dug into me for my ideas so far, except for maybe that first born son shit. if someone else is gonna act entitled or condescending to me because of their supposedly great share of the contributions, I'm gonna do the same.

But you contradict it, when you say that it doesnt make sense to have a woman as the head of the FN, when it happened twice on canon.

>When you flip the genders, a lot of characterizations ARE going to be different because certain characterizations just don't work out as well.

Oh yeah, because making Aangie be more crazy about powerful and destructive styles has a lot to do with her gender right? These kind of arbitrary changes for the sake of being different dont make any sense. You already complained that letting Katar being burned might make him appear as weak to the audience and should be avoided, them you suddenly change his personalitty to "healer first, fighter second" without any jusificative besides "its different from canon!". Oh yes, making Aangie also threating Sokka with fire also has a lot to do with changing Aangs gender right? She probably was on her period!

The first changes, made sense, tje changes with Azulo also made sense. The last ones, on my opinion deserve some critic and I gave it, but instead of just accepting or ignoring, you are throwing an autistic hissy fit because I point what I see as errors on characterization and boring plots :^)


>Your objections to these things have been really fucking stupid for the most part and either demonstrate your own lack of creativity, your own lack of understanding of the nature of the setting

Basically what you said was:
>huuur, why you dont accept that my vision!

When your ideas on these subjects are really flawed, you seem to lack understanding of basic aspects of canon and with real life Hystory, like the meaning of martial arts on the east, and how the trainament of the avatar works. There is also some contradictions nd the fact that you remove a good deal of what made those things notable, while offering not very much on exchane. But we will deal with it later....

Oh, buu fucking huuu.

So its not “Hey I am Paku, and I dont think that women should fight because I am sexist”, it is: “Hey, I am Paku, please forgive the fact that me and our society is sexist, and because of that I think that women shouldnt fight And would be very caring of your part if you dont complain about it!”

And in the end you get the same resolution of grrr power. And worst, you make Paku look even more bad than on canon. Andy ou know why? Because on canon He just refused to train a random girl that came from other parto f the world to train under him. Here, you are making him dont train the fucking avatar, that will eventualy fight the Fire Lord you are literally making him say “Sorry Aangie, Ozai might trow a fire Ball on your face and the knowing how to defend yourself with my art could have prevented that, but it makes me kind of unconfortable. But hey! Maybe you could heal yourself later!” Hell, the justificative that canon and you gave are basically the same, my only problem is that you are making him act like na idiot by refusing to train the avatar almost all of waterbend style.
>>
>>77353198
You are making him put Aangie, and the entire world in danger by refusing to help, and hoping that it will look less cringy than canon, and his only justificative is patethic and not different from what He gave to Katara. How it makes it look like a grey area? How it makes it more deep? This is serious Korra-level writting, and would make fans hate Paku with passion.

So yes, I would rather have Katar getting tired of being looked down by the elders and confronting Paku, than your plot. More simple, in character for both but under a new perspective and both of them dont look like idiots.

>And then of course you explore Waterbending as a non-violent healing art more extensively

Here, my only sugestion has been to make Zuka have pratically nothing at all so that when she's banished, she has even less than nothing.

Exactly! By your logic, Zuka has less to lost, and less to won! Her struggles are less meanfull and would have less impact, because instead of having Zukos objective: Recovering his honour, having the respect of his dad and leadding the FN, you are changing to: Recovering her honour, having respect of her dad, and maybe have the opportunitty to be married with some noble by your dad, because Zukas sociopathic brother will be FL anyway. The arc is not that different, but is weakened and has low stakes for Zuka than for Zuko.

> I don't see the core of Zuko's character arc as about his being heir to the throne to begin with anyway, so no I don't think it does any harm to remove that element.

Him being heir to the trhone is a central theme, He is the one to carry the need to fix the mistakes of his ancestors and redeem the FN. He is the rightful heir returning to fix what was wrong, this is an old and very meanful trope, that youu are changing for “them the rebellious princess took the power away from her sociopathic brother” , and that has a lot less impact. Hell, by what you wrottte earlier, we wouldnt even have the agni kai.

But the movements comes from tai chi and Baghua, it is pure martial art, and thats why every competent bender can fight. You say for example that airbenders are not teach on how to fight, but ignore the fact that EVERY SINGLE NAMED AIRBENDER on the show, uses airbendending movements and techniques to fight. You also seems to think that being thaught martial arts enter in conflict with pacifism, which just shows that you have any understanding on martial arts ad eastern phyllosophy.

> That's one of the reasons why Korra's bending styles in a lot of parts looked so shitty, because they were going for an MMA style, which is more about function than style.

You are actually wrong. The styles choosen for the bending all have meaning behind them, didnt you heard Iroh? Bending is a reflexo f their culture, and their element, waterbending is fluid, airbending focus on movement, earthbending is more static and so on. Its was always a mix of function AND style, no tone or another.

> The fact that Waterbenders use Tai Chi for healing should have tipped you off, because real Tai Chi is about the beating the living fuck out of people. The Tai Chi in this shit is more like they stuff they teach in senior aerobics classes.

You just admited to not knowing shit about tai chi, and what tai chi means and try to achieve. Again, have you considered that martial arts might be a meaning and phylosophy behind them, and are not only to attack other people?

> Protip: if your Kung Fu looks good, it's not real kung fu.
Oh Yes, it is only the exact same movements of kung fu, directly coppied from a real life kung fu máster, and being used on a fight! But there is any kung fu or martial art behind it!

Wouldn't it make more sense for a bloodthirsty tyrant who values strength and power to choose the son who is more of a spitting image of himself as his heir than the incompetent and worthless daughter who's never done anything? That's the whole reason I suggested it was probably first born son in the first place because it doesn't make a lick of goddam sense otherwise for Ozai to have kept Zuko as his heir in the canon for so long with Azula around besting Zuko at everything he's ever done. Chalk it up to poor exposition on the original show's part if you need to, but thems the breaks. Even if we accept it's just first born, Ozai would most likely in this scenario just give Azulon the right to throne even before banishing Zuka.

Again, you can't use Izumi because that tells us nothing about the rules of succession in Ozai, Azulon or Sozin's tenure.

The point is it makes perfect sense within the context for the Fire Nation to have a first born son on down system . There's literally nothing you can do to disprove this. Neither Azula or Izumi are good examples that back your argument at all because Azula is second born and the only daughter and Izumi is the only child. If it really bugs you so much, we can just make Ozai give the throne to Azulon even though in the past Zuka might have been heir, but either way, Zuka should never be considered for the throne. It doesn't make sense anyway you try to spin it. We don't need to explicitly state that it's a first born son system anymore than the original series did, but Zuka cannot and should not be heir to Ozai. It doesn't work at all.

>Oh yeah, because making Aangie be more crazy about powerful and destructive styles has a lot to do with her gender right? These kind of arbitrary changes for the sake of being different dont make any sense

Except Aang was pretty much the same way. He was impatient with Jeong Jeong's boring breathing exercises because he wanted to start shooting fire out of his finger tips and do something really powerful and amazing really soon. Aang loved powerful bending as long as it didn't hurt anybody. So, my suggestion for Aangie only being slightly more interested was just because I pictured certain qualities of Aang being amplified more in Aangie as a result of the gender swap. Again, you had no issue with this same exact flipping of the characterization with Sokkara who is now a reluctant warrior who thinks Katarr should be the warrior of the family because he's the man and heir to Hakoda's position as chief. So you can fuck off with this bullshit you're trying to pull out your ass right now. I believe you said you wanted Aang to not be switched, so I'm starting think this is all just a product of your bias.

>You already complained that letting Katar being burned might make him appear as weak to the audience and should be avoided, them you suddenly change his personalitty to "healer first, fighter second" without any jusificative besides "its different from canon!".

Except that wasn't it at all.

The justification for Katarr's path of development wasn't about making it different from canon for the sake of difference. So you can cut all that shit out already I only mentioned that because you were the one who seemed so fixated on keeping things as close to canon as possible, so my response was that we should be open to making things different from the canon because that's the whole point of an alternate universe, to ALTERNATE. You took that as me saying it would be okay to make Toph purple skinned here just for the sake of difference.

My actual justification for this decision, which wasn't totally my suggestion anyway, was flipping the characterization just enough that it made sense with the gender switch because if you're flipping the gender, you'll also be flipping some of the characterization. The theme of rule 63 characters is usually a theme of opposites. Aangie is Aang at the core, but also in ways his opposite due to his now being a girl and experiences and responding to things as a girl. Katarr is Katara at the core, but also in ways her opposite because she's now a boy.

You are clearly ignoring the explanation I already gave for your initial objection to what I suggested for Aangie in the Deserter. I already admitted that "threaten" was the wrong word to use in my first post and attempted to explain it more as an impulsive emotional reaction that accidentally hurts her friend. And I suggested this because I feel that the story should emphasize that Aangie is a slightly more emotional 12 year old girl and not a carefree 12 year old boy. So, yes, having her be just a tiny bit more impulsive or emotional than Aang and maybe a little more bratty does make sense with the gender change because that's the way a lot of 12 year old girls are and such a personality is close enough to Aang's for her to be considered a counterpart yet unique enough for her to have some of her own character development. Also, you need to cut this shit out like I was so adamantly devoted to the idea in the first place. I only thought that since it was probably best for Katarr to not get burned by Aangie that Sokkara could get burned, but there needed to be a reason for it happening that worked well with Aangie's character as genderbent Aang. Aang had plenty of his share of emotional freakouts and Aangie I figured is the more emotional girl version of Aang, more prone to get upset at smaller things but doesn't like being angry, Sokkara is likely to be a bit of a bitch, so it all seemed like a simple enough scenario to piece together. Different enough to compare to the original version but the same enough in its general aim of showing the need for self control and discipline that Jeong Jeong needed. Does it need to happen the way I suggested where Sokkara is being annoying and Aangie accidentally burns her? I don't say it has to, maybe Sokkara's snark just breaks Aangie's concentration, but I feel the general idea behind it is fairly sound. You've only been able to object to it by caricaturing it in the most obscene way after all.

I also don't see how you can think there is a contradiction between saying "let's not make Katarr feel so weak that he's laughable to people watching/reading this," and "let's make Katarr more of a healer than a fighter." The contradiction between these exists only in your head as far as I can tell. As I already explained too, Katarr would still learn how to fight and fight fairly well, he just would gravitate more towards healing than Katara because of the slight change in personality.

The suggestion of changing the burning in the Deserter was because I think in the canon it worked precisely because Katara was a girl, from the concern for Aang which made her stand there in spite of the danger, to the pity you felt for her when she gets burned and the anger the audience may have felt towards Aang for being so stupid. I know /co/, I've been on here for awhile, and at least Avatar fans here would not readily feel sorry for Katarr if he got burned by a loli. They'd crack jokes about how weak and useless such a character is and then once he learned healing, they would say "yeah, figures he'd like healing, pussy." If you had Sokkara get burned on the other hand, people would definitely be angry at Aangie, feel sorry for the other waifu getting hurt by the bratty loli, and Katarr would have the opportunity to display healing prowess. If you keep the burning of Katarr and then have his specialty be healing, he comes across as weak and just settling with healing because he's obviously too much of a weakling to fight if he gets taken down by a little girl, at least that's the impression I think it would give the audience in this case. What I'm suggesting is taking out the burning of Katarr, put it on his sister instead, this way when Katarr learns to heal and specializes in healing above other skills, the audience can't read it "oh, he's becoming a healer because he's super weak", but just him following what his own personality seems to drive him towards.
>>
>>77353149

To illustrate this sort of characterization, imagine Sokkara and Katarr on Appa and Sokkara trying to sow up Katarr's shirt like Katara was doing for Sokka's shirt in Book 1, Episode 4, but because she's "girl Sokka" let's say she keeps pricking herself and messing it up, to which Katarr eventually sighs, and tells Sokkara to give it to him and he ends up doing it much better job than her. You seemed to have no problem with this sort of characterization and dynamic between the two when I first suggested it. All I am suggesting for Katarr is simply amplifying some traits that we find in Katara already (healer, homemaker, a little naggy, mother hen) and maybe, if necessary, toning down some other traits found in Katara slightly but without necessarily eliminating any particular character trait altogether, this way it's clear Katara and her male version are related in the spiritual sense, being two different representations of the same core, but the emphasis of their personas is flipped with the gender. The problem with Katara, as I see it, is that she's kind of "boyish" already, so what do we get out of switching her that we don't get better from her as a girl already? The only solution I can think of to this dilemma is that we follow the line of thinking which says that by flipping a character's gender upside down, we flip upside down some parts of their personalities as well, Katarr could just be more "girlish" in as much Katara is more "boyish". If personalities don't flip somehow with the genders, at least in their more secondary aspects, this whole AU becomes rather pointless.
>>
>>77353149

Another reason I suggested changing the burning scene around so Katarr doesn't get hurt was just because I wouldn't want those "girlish" traits of Katara's character which might be a little more emphasized in Katarr with the gender flip to make him come across as too effeminate and weak, rather than just Sokkara's clean and tidy younger brother who Sokkara thinks need to be more of "the man around here" mostly because she's tired of taking on that role herself. Sokkara getting burned instead is likely to illicit more sympathy from a reader or audience member because she's a girl. And it would allow a moment for Katarr to take care of his older sister ("like the man") which results in his discovering of his healing powers. It saves some of Katarr's manhood, prevents him from coming across as too effeminate or vulnerable, and lets him assume some kind of role, albeit briefly, of taking care of his older sister, rather than the other way around as it usually is in their relationship, and it doesn't negate the fact that he's Katara genderbent either in any way. And if the goal were to emphasize later down the line that what makes Katarr different from Katara is he's a little more of a healer than fighter than her, it won't feel like it's that way because he's so much weaker than Katara to the audience, because they never will have seen Katarr get slapped around like a chump. Maybe there's a way Katarr can get hurt and still keep some of his male dignity, after all, the only reason I've defended this so hard is because you act like I'm just changing shit arbitrarily and also because you claim to like one change I propose but treat the other like it's blasphemy when it's in the same spirit as the first one you approved of.

>>77353149

With Paku, there are a lot of problems that happen here if we change either just Katara or both Aang and Katara.

There are a few ways to do this:

1.) Aang is kept the same and we have no sexism subplot because Paku doesn't refuse to train Katarr

2.) Aang is changed and we have no sexism subplot because Paku doesn't refuse to train the Avatar

3.) Aang is changed but Paku refuses to train a woman, even the Avatar, because of his culture and pride.


I'm sorry, but these are the only ways that make any sense. There is no reason for Katarr and Aang to go through the trouble of changing Northern Water Tribe's attitude towards women and if you want to complain about changes, that would probably have a lot more changes than anything I've proposed. Aang and Katarr aren't going to try to change the NWT in that area unless there's someone they know who's being hurt by it and Sokkara can't be it. The only choice would be to introduce an OC, suddenly make an established female character a Waterbender, or to just make Aang and Katarr go out of their way to help faceless female Waterbenders who never asked for their help. Aangie also wouldn't have much of a reason to try to change it if it doesn't stop her from receiving Paku's training and in the end if you just have Paku accept her without any real fight. In this case, it'd either be left open but never stated whether the NWT changes its ways OR it would be stated, but without any real dramatic conflict. Paku would just agree to it and he wouldn't even have to change his sexist ways or if he did, it'd be in a way far less riveting than Katara fighting him in the canon.
>>
>>77353149
>>77359559

I suppose you could have Pakku accept Aangie but treat her badly because "I only made an exception for you because you're the Avatar, FEMALE!" And I guess you could have him belittle Katarr for being "girly" so that Katarr just has enough of him and goes and studies healing to spite him. But doesn't that just make Paku even pettier and meaner than he was in the canon? The only reason he really got so assholish with Katara was because she got arrogant and up in his face. The exact exchange between Pakku and Katara was:

>I didn't come travel across the world so you could tell me no! *stomps forward with her hands on her hips, looking him down*
>No...
>But there must be other female Waterbenders in your tribe
>Here the women learn from Yagoda to use their Waterbending to heal. *pic related* I'm sure she'd be happy to take you as her student. *frown* Despite your bad attitude...
>I don't wanna heal! I wanna fight!
>I can see that. But our tribe has customs, rules.
>WELL, YOUR RULES STINK!

Seriously dude was pretty chill with Katara at first when rejecting as a student. He only became dickish when she refused to abide by the rules and got a tude with him and she did have an attitude from the start. So I don't think he'd be dickish with Aangie at all if he immediately accepted because of the circumstances. I think he'd be pretty professional for the most part.
>>
>>77353149
>>77359922

Also, like I said, while I would like Katarr to be more of a healer due to a gender/personality flip, he should still be a Waterbending prodigy like Katara. Based on your objections so far, I doubt you'd want to see Katarr be an under-performer and I'd agree that in spite of my feeling that gender bending requiring flipping some character traits with the gender, I would also feel likes Katara's being a talented Waterbender should transfer over to her male counterpart. I see that as part of the "core aspects" of Katara's character which should be constant and thus equally emphasized in both characters. So having Pakku seriously belittle him for under-performance until he quits I don't think would happen, both because if Katarr under-performed I don't think Pakku would be so rude and because I don't think Katarr should under-perform so that way there is still plenty of consistency between Katara and himself.


So, if by looking at the other options more objectively, the best option as far as I can tell is: Pakku refuses to teach Aangie.and is fairly adamant in his refusal.

Maybe this isn't the best plot ever, if only because it does require Pakku to refuse to train the Avatar. But it really does seem to be the most desirable option in this situation, for better or worse. But we can at least try to make some sense of it as best we can. My feeling is that we should not short change the story in any way. We should either strive to make it better than the original canon or we should strive to make it on par with it. But we should never purposely short change it just so it doesn't risk over shadowing the canon. This is part of the reason I've been so stubborn with you about this. Because the only other options I can see would make the story of significantly lesser quality than the canon in this area and even if it is inevitable that it will be of lesser quality, we should still put some effort into making it of equal or greater quality.
>>
>>77353149
>>77360779

I think we can at least try to make it work. We can make sure that Pakku's more about upholding the culture and rules, not so much personal sexism so long as Aangie doesn't give him too much reason to remain stubborn. We can add a bit of awareness that he's rejecting the Avatar. Pakku DID actually kind of refuse to train the Avatar already in the canon. When Pakku rejects Katara and Aang says he won't train under Pakku if Katara can't join, Pakku doesn't run after him and go "WAIT, AVATAR, THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!" He literally just says "Have fun training yourself!" and Katara is the one who convinces Aang to train with Pakku anyway. Of course, Pakku most likely knew Aang would come around eventually, having not other possible tutor and the Avatar refusing his training out of his own free will is quite different than Pakku refusing to train the Avatar. So while we can add this touch of self-doubt in Pakku if we need to, him calmly turning down the Avatar because of "muh rules" does kind of work with his personality. We could make him much easier to convince in this case if necessary, so long as Aangie doesn't freak out on him and make him set up a wall, and I doubt he'd be as stubborn with Aangie as with Katara because this IS the Avatar, it's just that he believes in these rules and believes they have real purpose. And because he might be a little easier to convince after all, we might be able to use the free time to explore healing and other forms of Waterbending Northern Water Tribe might use. This also helps make it feel less like he's leaving the Avatar totally high and dry and more like he's just not taking into consideration that what the Avatar really needs is what he has to teach.

Would this be better than the canon? i think with the right attention it could very well be. But while you might disagree, I still don't see any better alternative.

I feel the same way, just gender bend a hand full of characters at most, just one or two is optimal...otherwise you gender bending the whole cast might make some plots not work, motivations that don't fit and etc.

Fem Zuko, and her evil little sister Azula works better with the whole sisterly rivalry and striving to be Daddy's favorite, and also Ozai burning Fem Zuko could take on whole new levels partly because there is a slight double standard of sympathy for a girl but you could even cook up a plot point that Ozai being focused on his legacy in a medieval asian setting that values sons for being heirs is pissed at only having daughters and that's the stress point in the Fire Lord's household.
>>
>>77362188

Perhaps you're right anon. I'm the essayfag and I do feel like as I think about this that in order to make a really good story out of this you have to make each genderbent character half the original character and maybe half OC.

I don't think that's necessarily bad. It's fun in its own way. And the idea of a genderbent universe that is kind like it's own standalone story inspired by the original is I think interesting to try to do. Sort of how like if you remake a movie. Same problems. But same potential benefits if you can find that balance between copying or referencing the original and creating a different film.

With a couple characters you only have to worry about changes within a limited hemisphere. So I understand why people would prefer that. Personally, when I started this, I was only concerned with Zuko and Azula. When I figured we were going to genderbend more people, I just said fuck it.

I'm all for limiting it to a couple characters if that's what everyone else wants to do.

I know guys who are strait as an arrow, but since he's a hair stylist and hangs out with women all day, he sometimes acts like fruitbat and is kind of insecure about it or checks himself to act more macho around us army guys.

Maybe Azulon is a sharp dresser and dose enjoy getting manicures , his feet scrubed and his hair washed by a team of salon girls.

Plus it's purely verbal abuse. It's like those scummy dating tactics to make the girl feel like shit so she'll sell herself under worth when you be a little nice to her.
With Mai he's just catering to her attraction to danger and arrogant bad boys.

But his interaction with Zuka is generally more genuine. Which is even more fucked up, because he really can't decide if he wants to abuse her or hug her.

I'm okay with that.

In fact I enjoy the Troupe of the younger sister walking in on the oldrr sister and her boyfriend making out and causing thfm to stop and be awkward to be delightfully annoying.

In that one picnic scene after Zuko got back, Azula told Mai to go help Ty's hair as a cock block, what could Azula say to make Mao walk away after tongue jousting and pressing himself on Zuka...their both still clothed mind you but ready, if you know what I mean and then the brat evil little sister shows up and says what to get alone time with big sis?
