asami and yasuko sato meta

okay i know this isn't critical role meta for those of you who follow me for that but the comics that just came out are making me feral over asami and her mom

they needed to include this because it puts so, so much of asami and hiroshi into context.

it's clear that yasuko was the heart of their little family from the beginning. i mean, look at her and little asami. while they always say in the show that she is very much hiroshi's daughter, i think that she was equally if not more her mother's daughter.

for one, they're spitting images of each other. i can't imagine how hard it was for hiroshi after yasuko died to see asami- and it also explains why he was so set on keeping asami out of the equalist movement for as long as he did.

i think, deep down, he knew that what he was doing was wrong and he couldn't bring himself to put asami into that world, too, and her looking like yasuko only solidified his need to keep her safe.

i think it's also clear that yasuko would not have stood for the equalist movement. if you look at the rest of the comic, yasuko clearly has a great perspective with benders and non-benders, which she passes on to asami.

but also this comic just hammers home the tragedy of the sato family, and that asami really was old enough to remember a lot about her mom. and old enough to remember a lot about her mother's death, too.

it's just so sad to think that yasuko probably died not long after this comic took place. and it's also sad that her vision of an engineering school never really took off- because that would have been the perfect creative outlet for hiroshi, instead of becoming a terrorist.

i wish lok explored more of asami's relationship with her mom, and the grief that comes with losing someone as lovely as yasuko seems.

they're so adorable and just ahhh yasuko deserved better
