RIGHT KYOSHI WAS DEFINITELY GAY

headcanoned all Avatars as bi

I've seen sketchy justifications for this, but I would consider "what, Korra used to be Aang and now she can't be attracted to women anymore? Aang used to be Yangchen and he can't be attracted to men anymore?" to be non-sketchy. (NB: I don't remember if we know anything about Yangchen's relationships.)

I like your Bubbline headcanons!

Right?? Like there's no "reason" for it, Kyoshi probably got all of two minutes of screentime total, I'm just gay and I'm like "she's gay."

I admit the alternate "then all the Avatars are just bi" headcanon isn't really that thought out, like it could be that Wan was bi and his bi soul is just bi all the time, but really it was that back before Korra came out I was like, "Aang is bi and Roku was bi, must be an Avatar thing" then Korra came out and I was like "She's bi too!" and I was right!

I think Yangchen is the only named Avatar (other than Wan?) we haven't canonically seen in a relationship. I know she appeared in some of the newer AtLA comics, which I'm not caught up on, but a skim of the wiki didn't say anything about romance. Air Nomads of her time wouldn't have practiced marriage, for whatever that's worth, though Yangchen in particular seemed to be of the opinion that Air Nomad stuff that was for releasing attachment doesn't apply to Avatars because the Avatar can't break the cycle of reincarnation, they must always be reborn as a duty to the world.

Also lmao I was reading behind-the-scenes stuff about the Bubbline kiss, here: https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/09/05/adventure-time-ep-behind-the-scenes-kiss-details/ It seems they DID borrow Rebecca Sugar's spine a bit (they credit her with developing the relationship early on and even with building the fanbase, IIRC she drew Bubbline fanart) which cracks me up, I hope Sugar makes every show on Cartoon Network gay. Also the storyboarder Hanna K. Nyströmthe was the one who put the kiss in, with it not being scripted!

Oh, right. But anyway, the point wasn't about Yangchen specifically.

"It actually wasn’t in the outline when it was submitted. It didn’t say that they kiss. It just said they ‘have a moment.’ When Hanna boarded that, there was a little note in the margin that said ‘Come on!’ with a big exclamation point. That was the only note. I can’t argue with that."
