This song put a spell over me.
Animatic for Hama of the Water Tribe, Bloodbender, after she frees herself from the Fire Nation prison.
Music by Jorge Rivera-Herrans - Get in the Water, from EPIC the Musical, song cover by Morgan Clae
[Video Description:
Get in the water: Hama faces a Fire Nation soldier at the beach under the light of a full moon. Face tired, almost impassive, she tells him to get in the water.
Tides so high: She reaches her hand up to the moonlit sky and the waves of the sea around her start to roil.
Her actions in time with the music, she threatens and bloodbends the soldier to step closer to the sea. He shouts no, and Hama sends a wall of water up around them. Hama forces him to kneel and sends the water over the soldier, and the final shots are from his POV as the water rises and covers his vision. ]

ATLA sexuality headcanons, part 1, Aang's era:
aang
-unlabelled or pansexual, also incredibly gnc. he/they methinks
-he never questioned it, he never thought about it. the air nomads were chill with everything, so he was too.
-he simply loves people, and he loves them deeply. he's the sort of person who says "i love you" very fast. and he doesn't have a specific type, either. he simply connects with people.
-he definitely had a bit of a thing for kuzon back in the day. kuzon taught him all the fire nation dances he knows, and bumi cheered them on.
-he also kinda digged teo, the mechanist's son, but by that point he already had his heart set on katara.
-as for girls, he DID like on-ji. in different circumstances, they would might have dated for a short while. but with katara it was love at first sight. the sort that makes you giddy and stupid.
-he's a lot worse at rizzing up katara because he is just THAT into her and he keeps fumbling
katara
-growing up, she never really questioned it. she knew she definitely liked boys and never had feelings for another girl.
-she's certainly fully cisgender. happily says “she/her/hers” when asked for her pronouns
-on the contrary, she was somewhat attracted to haru and jet both—and might've even considered zuko in different circumstances. like she definitely felt something akin to attraction in the crossroads of destiny.
-she fell in love with aang, because he gave her hope, he gave her joy, he gave her balance. she already felt SOMETHING in the cave of two lovers, but she was deeply confused and her feelings didn't clear until after the war.
-she always thought of herself as straight but said that, if she had the chance, she would be willing to kiss a girl—as an experiment. she just sort of always admired pretty girls, in the sense of "do i wanna BE her or DATE her,"
-and she's really passionate about feminism, obviously
-she always prefers getting compliments from other women because "they're worth mOre"
-eventually she meets jiang who's such a butch lesbian and questions EVERYTHING
-is that a girl? is that a boy? idk but why are they kinda...
-niyok and nutha both give homoerotic friendship vibes with her (all comic specific characters have the combined personality of one person hence why I'm including both)
-since she was dating aang she didn't explore her sexuality, but she discussed it with him and he supported her
-she considered identifying as bi but didn't feel like she qualified, since she'd never actually dated a girl. aang told her it's okay eifher way.
-at the end she decides to keep it all behind closed doors as per water tribe tradition. she's happy with aang, some girls are hot, it's nobody's business but her own.
-i also completely fw the reading of her as a straight cis girl, but you know
sokka
-bisexual, female lean, and maybe even poly.
-he fell for yue, he fell for suki. he definitely found like, ty lee attractive, but he didn't LIKE her. He was involved with suki, and they hadn't had any conversation about the exact status of their relationship so he wasn't about to fumble it.
-suki and him are both bi. and if yue were alive they'd BOTH be dating her. at the same time.
-zuko was sokka's bi awakening. seeing zuko and suki run around in the boiling rock absolutely changed his brain chemistry.
-he had a hard time accepting it, because of how the water tribes roll. he had a preconceived notion of manhood that he obviously had to challenge alongside his initial sexism.
-but then he realised that 1) his dad had been in a secret poly relationship with kya and bato, and then with bato and malina-- 2) his grandma had a fling with hama--3) master piandao and jeong jeongwere a thing--and 4) his girlfriend herself, suki, was bi. so bro had nothing to worry about.
-his identity became clear to him with suki's and his father's help. unlike katara, he was a bit more open and public with it. being poly, him and suki had many opportunities to explore it, always respecting each other's boundaries.
-sometimes suki does his makeup and he grows to enjoy it. he experiments with gender expression until he becomes totally chill with it.
-big part of his character is learning that he doesn't have to be a “man” in the way that patriarchy imposed on him his whole life
-so like, cisn't
toph
-toph has crushes on boys: sokka, zuko, the duke, satoru, sun, kanto. but i think non of them are really legit.
-toph would also flirt with girls, like, yaling
-had a 'not like other girls' phase
-she/they/he vibes, has a very complicated relationship with gender
-because she was made fun off by other girls as a child, it was harder for her to blend in and talk with them
-she was also raised sheltered within the walls of aristocracy which contributed to her not thinking about it
-she avoided commitment and serious relationships like the plague
-so she's unlabelled and perhaps in the aro spectrum. like, demisexual. but being both demi (aka needing to like someone as a person and getting to know them before feeling attracted to them) AND having commitment issues and a bunch of failed relationships is like, a DEADLY combo.
-i don't know. she is chaotic and not at all skilled with romance so she always fumbles it.
-but i also think she might just be 1000% aromantic whether or not she understands it fully
-i think that's very plausible
suki
-bisexual with a female lean and maybe poly
-big she/they vibes
-she's got endless autistic rizz like girl seduced sokka at light speed.
-in kyoshi island they called the bisexuals 'children of kyoshi' and the lesbians 'children of rangi'
-kyoshi island is basically lesbos if you didn't know /hj
-had her first kiss with mingxia before they decided that "ew, never again, i see you like a sister". she was super happy to meet meilin, mingxia's girlfriend
-DEFINITELY liked biyu and they might have been a thing in different circumstances. Aka if biyu hadn't betrayed her.
-would've dated both sokka and yue if yue was alive. like she would have loved yue. both of them having never left their respective homelands. both of them caring about community and having a duty to their people, a leadership position,,,
-but suki being so badass, liberated, free—and yue needing to sacrifice herself to BE free from her oppressive environment,,, like yue would also admire suki so much?? they would love exploring the world together and it'd put sokka out of a very awkward spot-
zuko
-demiromantic, bisexual. like this boy is SOMEWHERE im the ace spectrum but he's also bi. I'd say with a male lean.
-had internalised homophobia growing up, because, duh, fire nation
-he definitely thought that everyone feels like that when he was a child until his mother told him that this was very much NOT the case
-the gaang made him realise that it's totally okay and since they are all so queer he felt very safe with them
-made gay marriage legal in the fire nation
-made pride a thing in the fire nation inspired by the rainbow fire because i said so
-definitely felt attracted to both jet and sokka in the guy department.
-now, when it cames to girls, mai was his childhood crush.
-he definitely found song attractive but he was NOT in that headspace obviously
-same thing with jin although he was in a better headspace then. he introduced jin and song to each other post-war and they dated each other.
yue
-never got the chance to figure out how much girlypop liked women
-i could so easily claim she's a femme lesbian and that sokka was comphet, and I could even CONVINCE ya'll, because he is SO comphet coded, but I really love yue's storyline as it is and the lasting affect it has on sokka,,,,
-i can also imagine her on the ace spectrum
-she's so sapphic she's so queer bro is literally the moON?? what's more sapphic than the moon
-so, whatever, I'll say she's bi with a STRONG female lean. if she'd survived and joined the gaang she would have dated both sokka and suki and i truly believe that
-she would've loved suki and i just KNOW it
-love her so much let my girl be free of her arranged marriage
ty lee
-lesbian or pansexual. was ready to risk it all for mai. also completely down to be in a polycule
-she simply enjoyed male validation and attention due to her unmet childhood emotional needs. the dudes at the beach as well as sokka were giving massive comphet energy.
-i do also accept the possibility of her being pan, that'd be pretty great, but yknow, we do need more lesbians.
-despite being a fire nation citizen i think she'd be pretty open and liberated when it comes to her identity, at least wherever it's safe
-because her own ideology and philosophy is like. pseudo air nomad philosophy so i think she simply doesn't give a shit
-she is really into pride events. she LOVES the parade.
-i think she did have feelings for azula, at least as a child. then it all became really unhealthy,
-still, she felt sad about how things ended with azulw. she genuinely wishes it were different
mai
-she does also give comphet lesbian vibes BUT the "i love zuko more than I fear you" line SLAPS so I'm going to say bisexual with a female lean. she's also definitely asexual—and also demiromantic.
-ADORED ty lee, she just always assumed ty lee would choose azula
-it takes mai a long time to develop feelings for anyone, but when she falls she falls hard
-she's really not a big pride person, but she grows to enjoy it eventually. she goes with zuko and ty lee.
-she's not super vocal about her sexuality, but she also doesn't hide it. she doesn't give a shit. it's her business.
azula
-azula is a lesbian. not debatable like the others, to me.
-her feelings towards ty lee and mai are very reminiscent of sozin's feelings for roku i believe. like iykyk.
-she couldn't remember which of the boys was the one she was supposed to "like," but she remembered perfectly which bikini ty lee and mai were wearing. she picked chan like lesbians pick a random boy to crush on in middle school.
-and then she instesd remembered one of thr gusy who were flirting with either mai or ty lee. bestie was jealous.
-she had comphet, so much comphet. she wanted to be loved.
-so much internalised homophobia.
-she has a type, and it's brunette non benders of similar build. by which i mean ty lee and suki
-the ill will she holds towards mai in her comic for ruining their group over a stUpid BOY-
-it's comical,,
-i love her.
jet
-all the freedom fighters are queer
-jet is probably pansexual or bisexual. and also he/they
-he had a thing for katara but he sure as hell also had a thing for zuko
-he punches homophobes in the face
-i never liked jet when i was a kid because he was a jerk and i hated him with katara, but i grew to really enjoy his character and his arc
-this boy wants to eat the rich
-he doesn't want gay marriage, he wants to abolish marriage
smellerbee
-transfem ICON, she/her, though generally gender non conforming.
-and she's also also aromantic and asexual.
-queer platonic relationship with longshot, because of how deeply they love and understand and support each other
-if you misgender her on purpose the whole group will gang up on you and by the end of it you'll have four broken limbs and they'll be arrested for aggravated assault
longshot
-he's aromantic and asexual but he's got unmatched non-verbal autistic rizz
-as i said, QPR with smellerbee
-but all the freedom fighters plan to keep living together forever,, they're found family
-him and smellerbee just have a particularly special bond
the duke
-the duke is pansexual, i think
-i think he had a crush on toph
-also he/they
-and that's about all I've got
pipsqueak
-he/they/she
-pipsqueak's literally his chosen name, nothing cisgender about that,
-gay
sneers
-transmasc, he/they, potentially genderfluid
-dating kori who is bi
haru
-bisexual, female lean
-he/they, potentially genderfluid
teo
-gay, crush on aang
jin and song
-jin is pansexual, would definitely date song who is a lesbian
-zuko introduces them!!
uncle iroh
-straight ally. women are great! big womaniser back in his day.
-loves gay people
-huge support for zuko coming out
-that being said, he wasn't ALWAYS an ally. like he wasn't homophobic either, but he didn't support queer people before lu ten came out to him. then he accepted it, because he loved his son. finally, travelling the world and studying different philosophies led him to be a great ally.
-then he became the biggest ally ever amd a huge advocate for queer rights
-on a similar note, lu ten was gay. ozai was straight. zhao was straight and azulon was probably also straight. just getting them out of the wAy.
piandao
-gay gay gay. likes men.
-him and jeong jeong as a salty judgmental old couple is so real
-also everyone knows about it but nobody dares to give him shit for it
-he just glares and you immediately get off his back
-he could get himself a husband and nobody in the fire nation would do anything to stop him because they literally cannot arrest him
-he'll just shut the door on their face
jeong jeong
-also gay. big gay.
-tons of internalised homophobia, bless him
-tons of self hatred
-like, the way he sees his firebending as a curse of destruction and hatred and hates himself for it—instead of seeing all the colours of the dragons' rainbow fire, like zuko and aang, who symbolise the new generation
-it can work so well as a queer self-acceptance metaphor
-he definitely ends up with piandao, as i said before. begrudgingly in love.
hama
-lesbian. privately, as per water tribe tradition.
-nobody in the south gives her shit for it.
-she definitely had a relationship with kanna.
-when she lived in the fire nation, things were different. living as her authentic self was impossible—even secretly, it became near-impossible.
-hama's life is one big tragedy.
pakku
-straight. initially homophobic as per water tribe conservatism. the sort of, "just don't shove it in my face" homophobia
-but upon realising that like, both his friend group and his wife are incredibly queer, he gets over it
-iroh helps with educating him
-it's also canon that zuko gives the southern water tribe custody of hama after the war which i find incredibly sweet
-but since hama and kanna were... tight, I find myself incredibly entertained imagining possible interactions between pakku and hama
kanna (gran gran)
-kanna was bisexual.
-in the time she spent traveling from the north to the south she slept with a bunch of people
-fire nation pirates, sand bender bandits, earth kingdom soldiers... hakoda's father is a mystery. a mama mia situation.
-other flings include the herbalist, probably, (all old people know each other)
-even madame wu, why not?
-like it entertains me to think that kanna was unhinged the moment she left the Northern Water Tribe
-and being a non bender she used all tools at her disposal to reach the south if you know what i mean
-that being said, she also learned to fight a bit. probably. just to spite pakku.
-when she reached the south, she had a thing with hama. i say this because of the kataang parallel when hama was taken away.
hakoda and bato
-hakoda is bi, bato is gay
-hakoda loved kya, bato loved him secretly and never told him
-after kya died, bato was his only comfort, they fell in love
-once malina enters the situation too, it eventually ends up being a polycule
-note that i strongly dislike malina and those comics

I hate the fact that bloodbending was demonized and made illegal in LoK. Bloodbending could've been insanely useful in medicine, it could've saved lives. Just because something sounds creepy and has been used to hurt others, doesn't mean it's inherently evil or problematic. If a part of waterbending is considered "problematic" enough to be forbidden, why not ban all kinds of bending altogether? You could suffocate people with airbending the air out of their lungs (remember Zaheer from LoK?), you could burn people alive with little effort using firebending and hell, you could pulverize people into fine paste just using earthbending. Compared to these, death by bloodbending sounds rather quick and merciful.

Do you guys think that if Aang scaped the Air Nomads genocide and didn't get trapped in an iceberg for 100 years, his Avatar team could have been kid Bumi, Kuzon and maybe a young master Pakku or a young Hama?

A friend of mine had a thought:
Y‘all know how in the episode The Puppetmaster, Katara tells the story of little Nini and how she disappears and is a ghost trying to get warm. She also says that sometimes you can see the smoke coming from her house. Katara also swears that it was a real story which happened to her mom. Anyways looking at it from a perspective of mythology, couldn’t those sorts of ghost stories be the explanation that Kanna‘s generation told Kya and Hakoda‘s, to explain why so many of their people went missing during the raids, going down to the detail of fearing smoke. Furthermore right after the story, Hama appears, Hama is one of the „missing ghosts“ who is now making others disappear.

With "Zuko is a colonizer," there is also a return of Jet and Hama discourse about how violent resistance against oppressors was supposedly demonized in ATLA...
The post I made awhile ago sums that up, and it has actually gotten a lot of traction, but I’ll sum it up here:
Presenting people with good intentions and bad execution is important. Showing the grey areas of war is important. Both Hama and Jet have real trauma, and the show never de-legitimizes it. What it does is show the needless violence and lack of actual progress their actions in response to their traumas showcase. People missing that theme of forgiveness and combating the main issue vs. blindly seeking revenge that prevails throughout the ENTIRE show simply aren’t paying attention. Either that or they’re just ignoring context and intent to promote a bias against the show because critiquing makes them feel artificially smart.

So When We See Hama’s Backstory, We Learn That She Was Taken From the Southern Water Tribe Over 60 Years Ago. There’s a Girl Who is Very Clearly Friends With Hama. A Girl Who Looks Remarkably Like Katara, With Her Hair and Even a Bit of the Necklace.
I Think It’s Safe to Assume That Hama and Kanna Were Friends Long Ago. Gran-Gran and Hama Are Also Very Easily Presumably the Same Age.
Master Pakku States That He Carved Katara’s Necklace for Kanna 60 Years Ago Before She Left - Placing Her in the Southern Water Tribe at the Right Time.
I’m Sure That This Theory Already Exists. If I Noticed It, I Guarantee All of You Have, Too. I’m Also Not Sure if This Theory Was Ever Confirmed - I Just Think It’s Kinda Neat.

I think about the fact that Toph can hear a huge number of people inside the nearby mountain. But she didn’t hear Hama approaching a couple of steps away from them:
youtube
I have a theory that this is due to bloodbending: either Hama slows down her heartbeat so much that it's like she's not alive at all, or she can levitate, lifting herself into the air

In LoK, there should have been a group of Southern Watertribe waterbenders that treated Hama as a war hero.
They would pop up in the background of season two as "dangerous radicals that hate the northern Watertribe," but when the Civil War started, they would be on the frontlines protecting their home and maybe even bloodbending in self defense.
Katara would have a complicated relationship with the because while she disagrees with them and thinks their ideology is dangerous, she would agree that Southern Watertribe culture needs to be protected and preserved.

u can Always regonize a white Person on how they talk about the fire nation topics or when they Talk about"extrem" characters especially hama
the idea of "just ozai and some bad soldiers" is so crazy and funny cuz yes civillains are civillains but also fire nation is still the opressor 😭 no matter what. hama and many more were rightfully angry

it's fucking 2024 stop using villain and antagonist interchangeably.
Ozai's a villain.
Azula, Zuko, Ty Lee, Mai, Hama, are all antagonists.
Azula, Zuko and Hama are villainous antagonists, but antagonists all the same.
#the downside of the Renaissance is that now people won't shut up about how Azula's a great villain#but she's a fucking ANTAGONIST#her role is literally to antagonize the protagonists for fucks sake#atla azula#atla zuko#atla ozai#atla hama#atla ty lee#atla mai

in a world where the writers weren't cowards Katara would've definitely been on Hama's side
#atla#katara#atla hama#u are telling me this impassioned freedom fighter who has herself witnessed the horrors of war#would not sympathize with someone from her tribe who survived their ethnic cleansing#like did or did katara not have several whole ass episodes where she has to work through her own anger and desire for vengeance#not to mention she's the last southern waterbender... meeting an elder and possibly the only one left who can teach the southern--#--waterbending style would mean so so much to her

Can I ask for a continuation of the Sokka and Katara raised in the fire nation au?
Continued from: [Link], [Link], and [Link].
1. There is a woman involved with the search, from two villages over. She always comes out for these searches. She's an old innkeeper, a sweet woman. Kanna recognizes her. And it's really really weird that she recognizes her, because she recognizes her as a Southern Water Tribe woman, who was kidnapped by the Fire Navy. What is she doing here and free? Kanna sidles up to her and, voice too soft for anyone else to hear, says "Hello Hama, how did you come to be here?" Hama looks at her, and then looks again, and she smiles a smile of surprise and delight, and says to her that she could ask her the same thing. And they talk. Hama tells Kanna about escaping prison. Kanna hells Hama about her daughter in law's death and her son's capture.
2. Then she mentions that it's her grandson who is missing. Hama is shocked. She grows quiet and troubled. And something just feels really off. And Kanna used to know Hama well enough to know when something was really off. And she doesn't want to think...
3. That night, after Katara is settled into bed, Kanna slips out and follows Hama back to her village. Hama heads to her inn and goes inside, and Kanna waits. And waits. And just when she thinks that this was all very stupid, and she's being paranoid about somebody who used to be a close friend, Hama emerges from the inn, and heads out into thr night. Kanna follows. Hama winds her way through the woods to the mouth of a tunnel, and Kanna waits, for what feels like hours for her to surface again. Once she does, Kanna leaves her hiding place and goes down the tunnel in Hama's stead. It's pitch dark, so Kanna takes a flint and lights a candle from her pocket. As she walks down the tunnel, the hair on the back of her neck stands on end. She hears garbled noises. They slowly resolve, Into voices, and the clanking of chains.
4. When she reaches the cave at the end of the tunnel, She almost can't piece together what she sees, can't pull it into something that makes sense, gaunt shrunken forms hanging from the wall, her grandson strung up like a fairground puppet. It's real, and yet it's what's right in front of her. She tears one of the iron pins, so common to elderly Fire Nation peasant women, from her hair. She hasn't picked a lock since she was a teenage girl in the Northern Water Tribe, and the iron pin is too big for it anyway, but it doesn't matter, because all she has to do is shove The pins into manacle the locks, and push, to shove the locks open. First is Sokka, and her grandson falls into her arms.
5. She frees the others as quick as she can, but she soon realizes she has a problem. None of the others, who've been hanging there for months, are strong enough to walk more than a few steps. She's forced to leave them with Sokka. They run up the tunnel To the sound of the other prisoners begging them to come back, and as soon as they reach Hama's village, they pound on the door to the small garrison, and tell them what they've seen, and what Hama did. Several guards go with Kanna, so that she can lead them to the tunnel, so that they can verify her story. They carry Hama's other victims to freedom. Then they go to arrest Hama. Suddenly it's all over. They summon a judge, who rides through two days later, and Hama is sentenced to death. Every village for miles around has lost someone, and only a handful were still alive to be rescued. They all turn out to witness the execution. And sickeningly, Kanna finds herself the hero who sniffed out the Water Tribe witch.
