Death Doesn’t Discriminate

Big bro!!!!!!!

it’s so funny how sokka thinks of himself as a very average, even insignificant, person, because literally everyone who meets him has an intensely strong reaction immediately upon seeing him. and it’s a very strict binary too. it’s either pure, unadulatered adoration, or extreme annoyance. ppl meet sokka and they’re either like “this is a god among men. a perfect specimen. I would gladly lay down my life for him” or they’re like “wow idk why but I fucking hate the vibes on this kid. I want to bully him til the end of time.” only aang seems to have a normal reaction to sokka, which is “yeah he seems alright :-)”

The sound effects alone make this one of my favorite scenes from Ducktales

posting sokka and aang headcanons i have cause they bring me Serotonin. in no particular order:

sokka cries when aang asks for his blessing to marry katara

aang cries when sokka asks him to be his best man

sokka and aang bake together

it always ends in the whole kitchen being covered in flour

one time, they tried to frost cookies together

somehow, it ended in sokka decorating aang’s head with different colors of frosting

aang got sokka back by smearing a full bag of frosting down sokka’s back

aang picks up the life of a nomad, traveling around and rebuilding the air nomad’s culture

sokka... does a lot of different things. he chills in the southern water tribe for a bit, stays in ba sing se for a while, visits zuko in caldera, explores the countryside villages with toph, practices and trains with suki, is actually taught fully by piandao, etc.

eventually, the whole gaang works together to build republic city, and sokka settles down there for the long run

aang and sokka are penpals, and they write alllll the time. about diplomatic shit, about aang’s adventures, about sokka’s (slightly more secretive) adventures... literally everything

sometimes aang will write sokka complaining about how nomadic life would be so much easier if he just had so-and-so

sokka starts indulging his engineer side and builds a bunch of stuff to make life easier for aang

aang realizes the stuff sokka keeps making for him could help other people and pushes sokka to start selling them to the world

sokka hates being known as fuckin “CoUnCiLmAn SoKkA!!11!!1”... so he opens up a knick knack shop that is in no way related to him

to get back at aang actually, he brands it like an avatar fan merch store

cause why the fuck not

he does actually sell the useful shit, like the fan he made for aang. aang uses air bending to power his, so it’s super effective, but since there’s only one airbender, sokka sells those like rainbow pinwheels that people put in their yards (except they’re wooden and he carved the arrows on them and painted them orange and blue)

sokka thought aang would hate the avatar merch store, but within a week of opening, aang has come to the store at least 13 times to hang out with the kids and sign random merchandise

sokka wants to be upset but now he’s making a bunch of money off a joke so.... win win

sokka sells the first appa and momo plush toys

aang has one of each

sokka cries when he holds bumi for the first time

aang cries when he overhears sokka telling bumi that it’s okay not to be a bender

basically, sokka and aang are brothers. the end.

thinking abt how in “bitter work” when sokka sees aang and he’s immediately like “do you have any meat.” like obviously the answer is no. aang is a vegetarian. why would sokka ask that? it feels kind of obvious to just say “well he was hungry and desperate,” but honestly, that explanation doesn’t really sit right with me. sokka spends that episode stuck in a hole, and he occupies his time by bargaining with the universe. he’s basically doing an extended bit for his own amusement. when he asks a vegetarian monk if he has any meat moments after swearing to become a vegetarian himself, he isn’t really asking aang; no, he’s making that joke for himself, and for god.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you read a lot of sokka’s jokes as self-aware bits that he is performing for his own entertainment out of boredom (or letting himself be the butt of the joke for the entertainment of others) everything else about his character starts to click into place too. there are definitely areas in which he lacks self-awareness (his own self-worth is a big one), but he has always understood his role in the universe—and if you can’t be the hero, then you may as well be the fool.

i used to hope that Sokka eventually was able to get space sword back, but more and more recently i have comforted myself with the thought that maybe through stories told and spread and passed down through generations, Sokka’s sword became somewhat of a legend, that there would be talk of a Great Sword from Another Earth that belonged to a powerful nonbender who helped the Avatar defeat the Fire Lord and bring an end to the Hundred Year War, and that if a nonbender were to find the sword and be deemed worthy to wield it by the spirit of its creator, they would be gifted with Sokka’s bravery and skill and wit!!, perhaps be destined to fight side by side with the newest Avatar. and, you know, maybe there’s a certain power in legends and storytelling too, and through spirity magicky stuff that would have made Sokka cross his arms and argue about how there’s no scientific reasoning to support it, the legend would come true after all

Plz watch this show thank-

Ah yes, Family of Choice, my biggest weakness.

sokka and katara have probably never spent more than a week apart from each other, both growing up in the south pole and having literally traveled everywhere together…

…until after the war.

the gaang probably got swept up in fixing the relations between the nations, helping with rebuilding in cities and towns, and just fixing the entire world way past what should have been expected of them, and so when they inevitably went their separate ways, how well do you think sokka and katara coped with that?

do you ever think that katara might sometimes turn around to try and crack a joke about her brother only to realize that sokka isn’t there to laugh with her? did she sometimes forget that the first person she looks to for support simply isn’t there to have her back anymore?

do you ever think about how sokka, maybe searching for a chance to make fun of his little sister, realizes she isn’t there to bicker with him anymore? or how maybe after so many years of trying his hardest to protect her, sokka can’t quite sleep because he isn’t able to know for certain that katara is okay at that very moment?

and when they do end up meeting back up again, did either of them cry after not having seen each other in person for weeks or even months? or were they too stubborn to admit that they missed one another?

how long did it take for these siblings to settle in with the fact that things were never going to be the same as it was before they left the southern water tribe the day that they found aang?
