@lesbians4sokka‘s post made me feel a lot of feelings on how Sokka’s grief was denied in “Southern Raiders”.
WHOS UR FAVORITE FEARLESS HERO? LEO!!!!
this au was inevitable
Miguel & Coco looking at Hector while he sings
I haven’t seen anyone mention or notice this, but nothing can actually get to Leo, not as long as Mikey is around. It shows it in the beginning of the movie
He appears out of thin freaking air!!
And delivers a devastating blast that could take out a city block. You don’t even know where he could be coming from
And even demonstrates this a second time at the end of the movie, you think he is done for because he trapped himself in the prison dimension with the Kraang, but TEEN MIKEY!? Hell no, he rips open time and space, with his brothers help
And plucks him right the hell outta there. Like that’s….I mean..he LITERALLY WENT FUCK YOU FABRIC OF SPACE AND JUST PLUCKED HIM OUT!!
I don’t know, I just feel like these two moments were a way to show that not only is Leo the new king piece of this chess board but Mikey is the new Queen piece, the most powerful and the best at protecting the king.
And I just find it funny to think of them as Chess pieces, because when I learned Chess growing up I was taught that it was kinda dumb to try and take the King before taking out the Queen
All I'm saying is Sokkas make up skills would immensely outdo Kataras
Sokka can do both watertribe and Kyoshi paint flawlessly but Katara would be trying to waterbend her liquid eyeliner and getting increasingly mad at the uneven strokes
do you have any favorite sokka episodes (aside from boiling rock and sokka's master, which i saw someone call a filler today?) sorry if you already answered this :)
okay, a totally underrated sokka episode is “bato of the water tribe.” sokka has a lot of great moments in this episode.
first, sokka manages to identify what happened during a battle just by the direction of some arrowheads, some scorchmarks, and footprints. this moment subtly demonstrates sokka’s keen sense for strategy and warfare.
then, he has a scene of quiet introspection by the fire while katara and aang are asleep, as he remembers being left behind by his father. this flashback really fleshes out & informs later motivations; i find it crucial in understanding sokka as a character.
then, he goes ice dodging, earning the mark of the wise. this scene really demonstrates how sokka is coming into his own as a leader, and how aang and katara trust his guidance.
then, he calls zuko stupid to his face, which demonstrates how sokka thinks zuko is stupid and has no problem telling him as much. (i know this seems like a joke, but genuinely i find it interesting how sokka has no respect for zuko, not for his intelligence or his power. he doesn’t seem to be intimidated by anyone in the fire nation?? he seems to be of the mindset that they’re all violent brutes who take part in war not out of necessity, but because it’s the only thing they’re good at. contrasted with katara and aang, and later toph, this is an interesting position to hold.)
it is also sokka, remembering how he felt when watching his tribe leave him behind, who insists that they go back for aang even if aang betrayed them, being able to empathize with aang’s hurt at the thought of being abandoned. sokka knows that he has the chance now to be there for aang in a way hakoda couldn’t be for him & katara.
finally, it is sokka’s idea to subdue nyla (june’s shirshu) by overwhelming its nose with perfume, which really puts (what piandao calls) sokka’s defining traits on display: creativity, versatility, and intelligence.
Day 14: melody
Remember that 2012 ice cream kitty music vid? And that ep where rottmnt boys made a terrible band? Lol
