My mind still trying to fathom how Mai and Aang get along
You know when you’re writing something and then you get to these two characters that are very different, but have no reason for conflict and one is very friendly… They almost always end up in some sort of odd friendship, so this didn’t surprise me, weirdly as it may seem. XD
It seems to me that Mai dislikes boredom and insincerity, and Aang is very sincere and fun
I feel like Aang is one of the few people who can get Mai to laugh (and it pisses Sokka off immensely)
Mai’s best friend is TY LEE, the bubbliest character in the show. Of course she’d like Aang.
wait but i love the idea of sokka failing miserably to make mai laugh but then aang just sneezes and goes flying backwards or some shit and she just loses it
Mai also loves Zuko, and Aang is very close with Zuko, so I think she appreciates that.
Also Aang saved her baby brother
It’s all very sweet really
aang explains to sokka that the reason she sees right through his jokes is because hes TRYING to be funny to get her to laugh. He has to let comedy come naturally. later sokka absentmindedly makes a food pun to aang and mai gives a chuckle
