it doesn't matter if roku and sozin were actually gay, all that matters is that every queer person in the fire nation is haunted by the possibility

like honestly i don't really think so. but i do think gay people in the fire nation, knowing

a) sozin was Close Friends with avatar roku

b) he didn't have kids until he was super old and it was absolutely necessary for maintaining the line of succession

c) part of what spurred his most drastic actions was roku's refusal to join him

might go. huh. what if The Guy Who Banned Homosexuality was gay. and gay for the avatar, no less. wouldn't that be fucking. insane

generations of queer people have been kept up at night by this question. and even when zuko (after a sleepless night of his own) begs aang to ask roku there's no resolution bc how would roku know? aang is like "hey do you think sozin had a crush on you and that's why he gave you the artifact and interrupted your wedding and was so pissed you wouldn't help him take over the world?" and roku is just like i never considered that. wow. that's crazy. maybe? i don't know
