Mai’s friendship with the Gaang bc I’m tired of anti’s saying she’s an unlikeable bitch: a thread
Aang:
Aang and Mai’s dynamic are a lot like Mai and Ty Lee. He’s cheerful and it cheers her up, while she is usually the more rational one. Aang is one of her closest friends. They both give good advice, though he’s much more emotional and she’s more logical. (1)
They’re also both great listeners. Aang is usually the one to be talking, while Mai nods every now and then, but she knows he’s very reliable and she can never be in a bad mood around him. (2)
Sokka:
Sokka makes Mai laugh, though never to his face. She’ll give his jokes a small smile at the most. He was very intimidating by her, until she saw his boomerang and approached him, immediately starting a conversation about weaponry. Their shared interest in weapons (3)
Is what really started their friendship. They’re both exceptionally smart, but don’t show it unless needed. When Sokka invents new weapons, Mai is the first to tell him what works and doesn’t. She isn’t scared of criticizing his work, but isn’t mean about it. She genuinely (4)
Wants to help, and she knows what she’s talking about. He never sees her constructive criticism as anything but that, and they’re able create incredibly technology together. (5)
Katara!!:
Katara was wary of Mai. She trusted her to be a decent person, but wasn’t too excited to have a third of Ozai’s Angels hanging around. That was until she realized Mai liked teasing Zuko even more than she did. Lots of Kataang and Maiko double dates and sleepovers (6)
Followed this revelation, along with a very close friendship. They do each other’s hair all the time, and Mai introduced Katara to nail polish and the concept of throwing ice daggers. Katara helped Mai get ready for her wedding, and Izumi was born Katara helped deliver her. (7)
Toph: Toph and Mai got along immediately, and this will probably be the longest one. They bonded over strict parents, and Mai kind of envied how toph rebelled. Maybe if she rebelled, she wouldn’t have been stuck with Azula. Regardless, they have a very big sister and little (8)
Sister dynamic. Toph would never say it aloud, but Mai is the coolest person ever and she gets so excited when Mai calls her kiddo. They play tons of pranks on Zuko and go have barely-legal adventures together when the rest of the gaang is too scared to join. They usually (9)
End with the Fire Lord bailing them out of prison. Speaking of Zuko, they play tons of pranks on him. They also spar together in order to help train Toph’s ability to sense flying things. This led to many mental bended knives. So um yeah toph and mai besties! (10)
Zuko: eh idk I don’t think they’d ever interact /j
Suki: BESTIES! They are besties!!!! They’re both skilled female nonbenders and immediately are like “yo I see you,, solidarity.” They love playing pai sho together, as seen in the finale. Suki is a very busy person, and Mai’s calm nature is rare. She loves going to Mai’s (12?)
And having tea while Mai tells her all about the new Kyoshi book she read. Because of Mai’s knowledge with weapons, she’s able to help upgrade the Kyoshi warrior’s fans to be lighter and simultaneously more efficient and installs a much more convenient storage (13)
compartment for them, which works much like her own knife glove thingy but like,, yk,, for fans. (14)
End of thread fuck Mai antis!! Mai has tons of new besties and she’s super happy because that’s what she deserves!! Hope u enjoyed mwah
